Found It...

Gaara: If k9puppyg owned Naruto I'd kill myself.

Me: Hey!

Gaara:…

Naruto: On with the story!

Hinata by now was at the dress store in the women's department. Searching through all the shelves. Then she decided to ask the lady that helps in this certain department.

" No I'm sorry young lady I have not seen any diaries." Hinata understood thanked her and left. Heading for Ichiraku's.

Ino

Ino was watering the flowers in the flower shop as though this was an everyday chore. But Ino was thankful for she only had at the most four years left with her parents. It's not that she didn't love them. She did very much. It's just Shikamaru's lazy a-(this is rated K+ remember) uh…lazy habits that made her think that her parents were loading her down with work…Even though they were. Yes Shikamaru was rubbing off on her alright, now she started to say-

"How troublesome…" She got bored with these flowers and started to go on to another area. She sighed and put down the watering can and went to the counter to check if she had to make any orders of bouquets. To her surprise there was only one. They would come in to see her about the flowers in…about 5 seconds. The tinkle of the bell made Ino look up she saw a young boy that looked to be around 11 in her eyes.

"How can I help you?" she asked. The boy looked up and smiled at her.

"I'm Konohamaru, my best friend-but also my rival, asked me to come pick up some flowers for his so called friend." Ino smiled she then said.

"Oh, really. Then is his friend a girl?" He replied with a vigorous nod. Then she asked ," Does he have a crush on his so called friend." He again replied with another vigorous nod. Then he stopped.

"Hold on! Why are you asking me all these questions! You're not supposed to question the future Hokage!" Ino glared at him for a moment which made him tense up a little. Then she smirked.

"Heh, you're not gonna become Hokage."

"OH YEAH!"

"YEAH!"

"OH YEAH!"

"YEAH!"

"OH YEAH!"

"…yeah."

"OH YE-"

"Look kid, I'm just asking these questions to figure out what flowers to put in this here bouquet."

"Oh…" She walked over to the harvesting area to pick out 5 flowers.

"So far from what I've heard you're friend wants to confess his feelings for her…" she started to place them in a certain way. She placed a rosebud in the middle then stated," This flower was placed in the middle because it means confessions of love. Which is the main reason he's buying these flowers right?" She then put 2 jonquils on either side of it, next she stated," I put these here because it means love me, affection returned, desire, sympathy, or desire for affection returned. But in this case its love me or desire for affection returned." She looked at the boy who seemed dazed at all of her words, which he didn't necessarily understand them all but she decided to push on. "And last but not least the yellow chrysanthemum which means sighted love." She added those to the bundle and wrapped them up. Then she looked for a card on which to write their meanings. Which she did then added them to the newly created bouquet. Then she waltzed back over to the counter and rang up the total which he paid for. Konohamaru said that his best friend/rival had gave him the money. Konohamaru was heading for the door before he stopped.

"Hey, you are Ino right?" she nodded.

"Yeah." Then he stated,

"Naruto told me to thank you. He couldn't come because he had some business to take care of…" Ino smiled but inwardly she was celebrating.

'HAHAHA I knew it! I knew it was for Naruto!' Her mental party was interrupted by his voice.

"Oh, and Ino."

"Hm?" She had a feeling she had made a new friend.

"Don't ever question me again or it will hurt you when I become Hokage."

"WHAT?" But she never got to finish because he had already left.

"Grr…him." She said to nobody in particular. She went to the back room because her mom called her for some work that needed to be done. A few minutes later she came out carrying a load of bags full of seeds that was going to be picked up by a farmer. She crouched down under the counter and stowed it in the drawer neatly. When she stood back up still looking down dusting off her skirt from the dirt when someone startled her with a

"Hey Ino." She looked up hesitantly and her pale blue eyes met with those of black.

"H-hey Shikamaru…don't just pop up like that. You could give someone a heart attack, which is a method I could use for my interrogating but-"

"Yes, yes Ino I just wanted to finish this before my troublesome mother tells me to come home before…uh never mind." He cut her off before she could ramble him to death. 'never again' he thought.

"Well what do you need Shika?"

"I need you to go to the festival with me."

"You need me to?" she didn't quite understand.

"Yes, you see Ino, my mo-"

'His mind is telling him he can't live without me. He has to go to the festival with me. Poor boy, he's lonely without me. I'm the only one in his life and he must go to the festival with me.' She wasn't even listeningshe drowned out his explanation with her own thoughts. Then she cut him off.

"It's okay Shika. I understand completely."

"You do?" His voice sounded unsure.

"Yep, I will go to the festival with you."

"You. will?" she nodded assuring him that it was okay.

"Okay." Replied Shikamaru," I'll meet you at your house at…7 pm?" She nodded. He smiled and left. Then simultaneously the both frowned.

"Troublesome mother…" again both simultaneously.

Then Ino put her back on the wall and slid down it curling into a little ball of happiness smiling. But she sighed when she heard someone coming in the door mentioning those seeds.

Hinata

Hinata arrived at Ichiraku's but before she went in she had to check to see if Naruto was there. No Naruto. Sighing with relief she went to ask Ayame about her diary.

Ayame's gaze looked like she was in a trance. She put her finger up to her chin and finally she said,

"Yep, I think I have seen a diary." Hinata's heart jumped for joy.

"Do you ha-have it?" Hinata asked hoping for the best.

"Nope, I don't believe I do Hinata-chan." Hinata dropped her head. But Ayame continued ,"But what I DO know is that Naruto has it. It had writing that was so romantic in it. Hinata, I didn't know your were that passionate about Naruto-kun." Ayame perked up with an "Eh? Hinata-chan what's wrong." She had heard the little sobs that were coming from the girl that was crying upon the countertop.

"I'm, I'm scared." Now Hinata wasn't stuttering of shyness it was because she was scared.

"Why?" Ayame asked.

"I'm afraid that he might reject me now, tonight at the festival. I might just embarrass myself. What am I going to do. I-I CAN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE IT IS BUGGING M-ME! I CAN'T DO IT! I WON'T GO TO THE FESTIVAL! I CAN'T HANDLE HIM LEAVING ME! WHAT IF THIS MESSES UP OUR FRIENDSHIP?"

"Woah," She said as Hinata looked up to her with tear filled eyes. "Hinata-chan I understand how you feel and everything but you are making a scene…"

"Sorry." Apologized the muffled voice of Hinata.

"Look, Hinata-chan. I know you are shy and everything but that book of yours really helped you."

"What?" Came the interested voice of Hinata.

"Yeah, Naruto just loved how you could put his name into such beautiful writing." She lied.

"Really?"

"Mm-hm." She knew it was wrong to lie to Hinata, but it makes her a little more confident. "Yeah, infact this is what happened…

Flashback

Naruto came into the shop with a little puzzlement on his face. But he soon decided girls are just weird creatures made to serve men and make new generations and junk. At least that's what he thought. Teuchi and Ayame greeted him with smiling faces.

"One order of miso ramen old man!"

"Coming right up Naruto!"

"Hi Naruto-kun."

"Hi Ayame-neesan." His eyes were closed but he knew who the voice belonged to. Unconsciously he rested his palms on the stools on either side of him. But what made his eyes open was something hard under his right palm. He opened his eyes.

"Eh, what's this?" He looked down and picked up the book and set it on the countertop.

"Naruto-kun I wouldn't think you of all people would keep a diary."

"I don't keep a diary! I just found this!"

"Sure you did…" She raised her eyebrows suggestively.

"Bah! I'll just prove to you this isn't mine!"

"Go ahead. Naruto-chan." He glared at her. But she couldn't help but giggle.

"Look, on the cover it says 'Hyuuga Hinata's Diary' now do I look like a Hinata to you?"

Ayame rubbed her chin thoughtfully. But she was only teasing.

"Here's your ramen Naruto."

"Thanks old man." Then Teuchi looked at the book that he placed on the countertop.

"Hey Naruto I didn't know you kept a diary."

"That's just what I was thinking father."

"That's not mine!" He declared while eating his ramen which wasn't really a pleasant sight. But they were used to it. But what surprised Naruto was when Teuchi snatched the book away.

"Old man, what are you doing…?"

"Come on Naruto! You don't mind me taking a little peak do you?" While opening up said book.

"No! It's an invasion of privacy I have to return it to her!" Naruto stated.

Teuchi replied,

"Come on Naruto! Don't you want to see if she's at least mentioned you once in here?" This made Naruto think. Ayame peeked over her father's shoulder and scanned the very few entries on the first page. While Naruto was staring at them making different faces. Teuchi finally spoke up after flipping through a couple of pages,

"Naruto, It looks like you don't have to worry about you being in at least one entry…It looks like you're in all of them!"

"What? Lemme see that." Teuchi passed the book to Naruto. Then streams of tears started to flow through his eyes as he caressed the book hugging it tightly to his chest. Ayame then spoke as if she and Naruto were thinking the same thing about her diary.

"IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!" They said in unision, more like screamed. Then Naruto was kinda…er talking to it. Then he told them that he had to go home to read the rest.

"I never thought someone actually could include my name in such beautiful writing!" Then he bid them goodbye as he left them for his apartment.

End Flashback

"And That's what happened," Ayame concluded, at least that's what she said happened. Ayame's heart warmed up when she saw Hinata smile.

'Phew, she bought it. Now come through for me Naruto.'

"So what are you going to do now Hinata?"

"I think I'm going to go home now and get ready for the festival…" Then she just realized she hadn't stuttered through most that conversation. She guessed letting it all flow out made her stop st

uttering.

"Good luck, Hinata-chan." Then Hinata bowed and left. But as soon as she left a member of the ANBU squad showed up.

"Hokage-sama request that all participants in the decoration committee come to her office immediately."

Sakura

About 30 minutes before Hinata's breakdown…

Sasuke and Sakura were in the elevator going up. They were going to the same floor apparently, she had to go check up on Chouji since Sasuke was already…up. It was getting quiet to Sakura so she decided to start a conversation. Besides who knows when they would get to the 58th floor at the speed they were traveling.

"So Sasuke, what are you doing out of bed…?"

"Hn, got bored."

"Oh…So um, are you going to the festival…tonight?"

"…yes."

"Going with anybody?'

"…" Sasuke paused for a moment. Then he turned to look at Sakura.

"You wanna go with me?" Yes, Sasuke has completed one of his goals in life. To kill his brother. Now he needed to restore his clan. To him this was the best opportunity to start.

'Wow! Sasuke-kun is asking me out! I can't believe it. But why the sudden change? Must be another clone…' Sakura got suspicious with this being in the elevator with her. So she decided to interrogate.

"That depends…'Sasuke'. What makes you wanna go with me?" Sasuke was afraid of this. He knew what she was getting at.

"Look, Sakura. I know you're used to me turning you down. But ever since I killed my brother…uh I feel I should make it up to you?" Sasuke was rather asking if she would buy his excuse. Besides she's been chasing him ever since they were…young…er.

"Hm…Okay Sasuke-kun."

'Yes! She bought it!' he thought. He didn't really want to tell her that he was just trying to get her to help him…restore his clan. Then she be kinda er…ticked, yeah ticked. He chose her because she was on his former team and she was the one of his many fan girls that was close to him or should I say fan people, because he could of sworn he saw a couple of guys in the pack of girls every now and then. He shrugged it off as the elevator stopped. He casually walked out as she followed close behind. But another nurse stopped them.

"Hey are you Uchiha Sasuke?"

"Um, no. I'm Akimichi Chouji." He quickly lied.

"Ha nice lie, but I just checked up on Chouji…because he was waking up other patients in this corridor… Well anyway get back in your bed!" Sasuke glared at the lady but obeyed. Sakura once again followed him like a lost puppy. Chouji was now eating a chocolate chip cookie…

"Um Chouji I don't think you should be eating that with the current condition you're in.." Sakura complied. But Chouji didn't pay her any heed. So smart Sakura was making a grab for the cookie.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you Sakura." Sasuke warned. But she took it anyways.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She quickly thrust it back into the boys hands. Now he started to sing.

"Sakura stole the cookie from the cookie jar."

"Who me?"

"Yes you."

"Couldn't be."

"Then who?"

"Sasuke stole the cookie from the cookie jar." She sang while pointing to said boy. Chouji threw the cookie at Sasuke's head. Which made Sasuke ready to pounce. But Sakura held him back. When he cooled down, Chouji asked Sakura.

"Why can't I have cookies, or my barbecue chips! Or, or my ribs!" They both stared at him. Then Sasuke stated,

"Now I know why Chouji's here."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chouji threw back.

"You know very well what that means. Fatty."

"GRRR! I'M NOT FAT! JUST A LITTLE CHUBBY!" Chouji was furious. Now it was his turn to held back." LEMME AT HIM! LEMME AT HIM!" Sakura complied,

"I'm sure he didn't mean it Chouji."

"Yes I did…"

"Sasuke!"

"What… It's true."

'Boys, can't live with 'em can't live without 'em.' She sighed and told Chouji to calm down. She gave him his medicine and she told Sasuke to come with her. They were in the hallway.

"Hey, um Sasuke. I need you to pack up."

"…Why?" He was thinking she was trying to kick him out the hospital.

"Because I just checked your file. Today's your release date."

"Oh…" He smirked. And casually walked into his room. "In your face fatty! No more Charlie and the chocolate factory! Bwahahaha!"

'Wow I didn't think he'd be this happy.' Sakura thought. She could hear him from outside. When he came out which was about 5 seconds later. He was fully dressed and had all his stuff.

"Let's go!" He hurriedly grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the elevator. When they reached the lobby they checked him out and Sakura was told to head to the Hokage's office. She nodded as Sakura and Sasuke went their separate ways.

Tenten

Once again 30 minutes before Hinata's breakdown…

Weapons were scattered everywhere, bloody logs were on the ground and so was a tired kunoichi. Neji jumped from a tree in front of Tenten and said mockingly, "Give up?"

She smirked and replied with a ,"Never."

Neji frowned and thought, 'Geez, this girl is stubborn. Does she really want to go with me?' Tenten weakly stood up and threw a kunai at a tree which activated a trap. Weapons of all kinds came raining down to hit Neji, while Tenten ran to the safe spot of her attack. Of course Neji used his spinning technique, in which I forgot the name of, to block all of the weapons. Unfortunately for Tenten she fell out of the tree when the handle of a kunai hit her in the head. From Neji's defense attack…When the barrage of weapons ended Neji looked around and saw Tenten laid out on the ground unconscious. Hyuuga Neji is the winner. Lee on the other hand had got an invitation from his best friend, and sensei, Gai to run around Konoah with him. Neji noticed this and left their training grounds to take Tenten home. He decided he would pick up the weapons later. When he reached her house re knocked on the door. A lady came to the door and took Tenten in. She assured him she would wake up before the festival. Bah, he didn't even really care. So he walked back to his house. Feeling a little sympathy for the girl. He didn't really think she would take that far as to just go to some festival with him. He stopped, 'Of course she would take it that far. Tch, I'm the best.' And he kept on walking. Meh, maybe he would grant her that.

Tenten

She awoke about 10 minutes later. She was used to fainting and so she woke up pretty early at times. She sighed. She knew here she was. So she decided to get up and take a quick shower to wash the blood off. She wasn't all that happy either. She came out of the bathroom and put on her same clothes that she usually wore. The festival didn't start till…meh about another 5 hours. 8:00. So that meant it was about 3:00. She went back into the back into the bathroom to find there was a huge knot on her forehead. As soon as she saw it, it started to hurt. But she didn't mind if it was there now because she could always wear her headband but what if her mother told her to take it off for the festival?

'Greeaat…Now I have to wear my hair down.' She thought to herself. She put her headband back on because she found herself staring. She sat back on the bed watching tv until a member of the ANBU squad showed up.

Tsunade's Office

Present time…

Tsunade told everyone her announcement,

"Okay now that you're all here I need to tell you that you have to perform at the festival…"

"WHAT?"

A/N: Okay here's chapter 6. Please review. They inspire me to write…Did I already say that before? Well anyways you know what to do.
