Ino never felt happier in her entire life. She had been with all the wrong guys; Her relationships never worked out. They were players, cheaters, b*tches, man-sluts, or just plain obnoxious. The right guy for her had been standing right next to her this entire time and she hadn't noticed. Now that she was with Shikamaru she felt so… her feelings were hard to describe.

She knew she had always loved Shikamaru. When her friends were sad, Ino felt a little sad and wanted them to feel better. But, when Shikamaru was sad, not only did Ino feel really sad and not only did she want him to get better, she felt like she was looking at an empty pit of despair. It was painful, that's how she knew it wasn't friendship. It was 1,000 times more then that.

Shikamaru was taking her to the movies tonight. They were seeing a romantic comedy movie; so Ino would have an excuse to laugh on him, kiss him at the romantic parts, and cry on him on the sad parts. She was just so excited, speaking of Shikamaru his car parked in Ino's driveway

At the same exact moment, Temari's Hotel Room~

"Tem, how is this going to work? School is in two weeks and how can we leave Suna?"

Temari interrupted her best friend with a sigh. "I know, I'm a little stuck on that. As much as I love Shikamaru, I can't leave Tayuya, Kankuro, and Gaara. How about this? We go to Suna on the weekends and we stay in Konoha for the week."

Matsuri thought about it for a little. Temari's parents were dead, so her, Gaara, and Kankuro lived by themselves. Matsuri's mother already gave her permission, as long as she visited often and stayed with Temari.

"I think that might work. When we go to Konoha, we shouldn't just focus on Nara-san."

"You're right, thanks Matsuri. You're the best, especially because you're doing this for me. I know you miss Gaara,"

"It's cool Tem, best friends before boyfriends right?" Temari raised her eyebrow, but decided to leave it alone. She knew that something was going on between Matsuri and Gaara. 'Make a mental note of teasing Gaara and Matsuri when I visit,' Temari thought to herself.

"Let's go buy some lunch!" Temari said happily. They made their way through the lobby, but stopped at the sight of a beautiful girl.

She had lavender long hair and a very unique eye color. Gray with a tint of violet. The girl looked sad and desperate.

"P-P-Please Ma'am? I need an apartment…" The girl said in a begging sort of voice. The desk clerk gave her a look.

"Unless you have money or are staying one nights, I don't think so." The girl gulped, Temari could tell she was trying really hard not to cry.

"B-B-But I-I have nowhere else t-to go. M-My father kicked me out," The girl said.

"I'm sorry, but-" Temari walked towards the clerk, much to Matsuri's disbelief.

"She can stay with us," Temari volunteered. Matsuri's mouth dropped, Temari was being unreasonable! They didn't even know the girl!

"N-N-No I can't ask you to do such a thing. I don't know you at all…" The girl said shyly.

Temari smiled slightly. "It's okay, I won't even make you pay anything. How about this? We go out to eat, talk, get to know each other, and if I like you I'll let you stay."

The girl sighed; she didn't want to be a burden. "N-No. I'm sorry, but I cannot ask you to do-"

Temari didn't even let the girl finish. She grabbed her arm and pulled her to Subway.

When they got their food and settled at a table, Temari started to ask the girl questions. Matsuri just silently observed.

"What's your name?" Temari asked the girl curiously.

"Hinata…"

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen…" Hinata replied. Temari got the feeling Hinata was the shy type so she decided to play nice. Shy girls are scared away easily, Temari knew from being friends with Matsuri.

"Do you go to school at all?" Matsuri piped in. She knew she would have to ask the important questions. The girl nodded.

"Konoha High. You girls are transferring c-c-correct?" Temari and Matsuri nodded.

"May I ask your names?" Temari and Matsuri laughed, they had been so busy asking Hinata questions, and they forgot to tell her their names.

"Temari and Matsuri. So do you know Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka?"

Hinata looked at the girls with surprise. "Of course I do. Ino-chan is one of my good friends. Shikamaru-san is her boyfriend." Temari's eyes widened.

"Why is such a cute girl like you friends with Ino? Isn't she evil and mean and nasty and-"

Hinata smiled slightly and shook her head. "That's the opposite of what Ino is. Didn't you go to her birthday party? Shikamaru-san invited you didn't he?"

Temari nodded. "That's not the point. What is this Ino girl like?" Hinata continued to smile in a gentle way.

"She's a little preppy, but she's not mean. She is so nice and pretty and funny, sometimes I don't know why she would hang out with someone like me…"

Matsuri tilted her head. "What's wrong with you?" Hinata blushed and started to fidget in her seat.

"Well, I'm not as pretty as her-" Temari interrupted her hotly. She couldn't believe Hinata thought that she was ugly!

"You're as pretty as Ino, if not prettier." Hinata turned pink and smiled.

"You really are perfect for Kiba-kun Temari-san." Temari's mouth dropped and she gave her a what the hell look. Hinata giggled at Temari's reaction.

"You are Temari-san. Although, I know you have a crush on Shikamaru-kun. Still, maybe you'll fall for Kiba, you never know."

Temari smirked at her. She knew all these people from Shikamaru, the Chunin Exams, and vistiting everyone. She never got to meet Hinata though, although now that she was thinking about it, she saw her at the party with Naruto.

"Let me guess, you have a crush on Naruto." Hinata turned scarlet red and looked at the floor. Temari laughed.

"I knew it!"

Matsuri gave Hinata a sympathetic look. "I feel for you, she teases me all the time for dating her brother."

Hinata knew she had to change the subject. "Sakura teased Ino for having a date with Shikamaru at the movies tonight." Immediately knowing she shouldn't have said that, Hinata covered her mouth. Temari's eyes widened.

"What movie theater?"

"Uh.. did I-I s-s-say today? I meant tomorrow…" Temari gave Hinata a look.

"That won't work on me. You stutter when you lie, what theater?" Hinata sighed at her new friends stubbornness. Ino and Temari were really alike…

"Rave…"

Grabbing Hinata and Matsuri's hands, Temari rushed to the Rave.

When Ino and Shikamaru took their seats, Ino saw Temari sit right next to Shikamaru. Matsuri and Hinata took a seat directly behind them. They ran into Tenten, Hinata's best friend, Naruto, and Kiba who all sat in the row Matsuri and Hinata was sitting in. Ino, frustrated and confused, turned around and glared at them. "Why are you here?" Ino hissed at the three. Temari smirked at her.

"I just wanted to watch this. Is that a problem?" Shikamaru looked at Ino. "It's not a problem at all." Temari smiled at this and began to twirl her hair, much to Ino's annoyance. She was totally flirting with him! Shikamaru didn't notice because he was just to dense.

A couple of minutes into the movie, Temari was all over Shikamaru. Ino sneered, it was pathetic and annoying. He didn't even like her. Well, Ino wished she could say that because he wasn't exactly rejecting her. He actually looked amused.

"Shikamaru, I'm scared..." Temari said in a fake voice. She held on to him tightly, getting a glare from Ino. Deciding that she wanted to give Temari a warning, Ino began to kiss Shikamaru frowned in disgust.

Ino didn't care, she kept making out with Shikamaru. Temari glared at her and decided to do something daring. "I feel sick..." Temari said in a fake tone. Shikamaru, being the gentleman he is, immediately became concerned.

"Seriously? I'll take you-" Ino interrupted him by standing up. "You know what? You're such a b*tch!" Temari glared at her. The croud stared intently on the three, eating popcorn while they were watching. Tenten looked at Kiba and Naruto.

"This is so much better then the actual movie," Tenten said. Kiba smirked at Temari, her getting into a chick flick totally turned him on. Except it was over Shikamaru and not him. For some reason, this made Kiba really mad.

"Good, at least I'm not an ugly skank like you," Temari replied cooly. "BURN!" Naruto and Kiba said this at the same time and high fived. Tenten reached into the popcorn bucket and stared at Ino, wondering what she was going to say next.

"Oh, you're calling me ugly? Look at me and look at you. I'm sexy, you're not. I have Shikamaru right around my waist do you? I don't think so," Ino said coldly. Shikamaru whistled, while Temari's fists tightened.

"Shikamaru is just desperate. Anyway, at least in the sand, all the guys want to be with me," Temari said. Ino looked like she was going to win this just because Temari was running out of insults. Ino raised her eyebrow.

"Shikamaru is desperate because he wants to have me. Oh and by the way, in the leaf, all the guys are begging to have sex with me." Ino said bluntly, recieving a gasp from the crowd. Temari slammed her fist against the chair.

"That's it! Do you want a piece of me!"

"Bring it on whore!"

Kiba and Shikamaru had to hold the two blondes back..

"Pig, this is war!"

"Bring it on b*tch!"
