Arthor's Note:

I tease to please. Although some of you may be waiting for the Team assignments, I am rewriting chapter three in a way. You will just have to wait a little longer for our lovable 'dead last' or 'stamina freak' to get his team. As I teased in the last chapter...

Chapter 4: Stalker Cam, and the Green Eyed Monster

Hinata had slipped her gaurd again, and was looking for the love of her life. She couldn't believe it when she caught up with him. He never picked one of his precious flowers before.

'Could Naruto have finally understood my feelings?' Hinata mused. 'Oh Kami, he looks so hot in the blue and orange with is jacket over his shoulder.'

Hinata was disturbed to say the least when she saw he wasn't heading for her clan compound. She couldn't help, but wonder why someone would pick a flower then go to a flower shop. Her heart almost stopped when he handed it to Ino.

'He's mine, Ino!' She mentally growled. 'Turn him down for your egoistical crush, you blonde bitch!"

Even Hinata had giggle with Ino crying and two adult acting like a flower was some kind of explosive tag they had to disarm. She felt sorry for her Naruto-kun as she saw him get the third degree from the two adults. Her anger,however, returned as Ino smelled the flower behind Naruto's back.

'That flower should be mine!' Hinata vemoniously thought.

Hinata almost stepped into the shop and attacked Ino. She was, however, stopped cold when Ino grabbed Naruto's hand and drug him out of the flower shop. Her tears forgotten with a big smile on her face.

'Get your hands off of my Naruto-kun, Tramp!' Hinata mentally roared as she followed them.

Hinata almost fainted at Ino and Naruto's first stop. Ino had dragged him into a undergarment store. She watched getting up the courage to either march in there and kill Ino or to accidently drag Naruto way for his opinion of the naughtest underwear she could find. Either way would make him forget Ino, right?

Hinata's undoing was the fact it was Naruto modeling the mess and under armors. One look at Naruto in a mesh shirt and black boxers, and Hinata was in her fantasy world. Blood ever so lightly leaking from her nose as she imagined Naruto ravaging her body. Her own body betraying her as her juices flowed from these forbidden thoughts.

Hinata didn't come back to reality until she heard Naruto's voice again. It drove her mad that it wasn't her name he spoke. Cold hatred flooded her breasts.

"I don't think it is a good idea to go on missions in mesh and boxers." Naruto told her in confusion.

"I know but it does show off your delious muscles!" Ino replied, and Hinata noticed she didn't have the decency to even blush.

'Those muscles and the rest of him is mine, slut.' Hinata fumed.

Hinata was on the verge of crying. 'Why did the hotest girl in class have to suddenly take interested in her Hero and if she had her way in it, lover? Did Ino even know that Naruto drank blue bark tea just like her? Did she know that Naruto's muscles were made by endless hours of working out, or that Hinata was getting more turned on by those workouts each year? Did she even know that Naruto had tooken a beating for her so that she would be safe without hurting the bullies? Did she know the lengths she would go to make Naruto happy in or out of the bedroom?'

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief as they moved onto the ninja outfitter. She watched as Ino refused to get anything but black or blue for Naruto. She, however, refuse to admit watching Ino try on bikini's in the last shop. Her anger got worse as Ino 'accidently' squeezed Naruto's arm while trying to find a sleeveless trench for him that would fit over his oversized arms.

"You know Naruto blue brings out those dreamy endless blue eyes of yours, and black comments that flawest youthful skin of yours." Ino remarked without a thought.

"You are only saying that because I am letting you spend my money." Naruto joked. "Black is way more your color it shows off your paler skin and purple hugs your curves."

Hinata was now really seeing red. 'Does this Harlot have my Naruto-kun under some wicked clan jutsu. He has never noticed my curves so that must be it!'

Hinata had come up with a plan for the team assignments, but she wouldn't let anyone know or stop her. She would defeat this succubus at her own game if she had to. She wouldn't give up on Naruto without a fight. No matter the price she payed she would win him!

Hinata went into the store and picked up the most sexy demure outfit she could find. She would have spent longer in the shop if she wasn't set on following this travesty to get tips on getting Naruto to notice ONLY her. She even wondered if she could share Naruto with Ino if that was what it took.

'At least, it is Ino not Sakura. I am not sure i could win against his crush on that, Jezabell.' Hinata mused.

Hinata's eyes went wide with the next shop Naruto took Ino to. Hinata knew that Ino had a soft spot for health food and drinks, but why would her Naruto-kun know that enough to take Ino to the only health food resturant in all of Konoha. She couldn't help but wonder if Ino was more of a threat then she realised.

Hinata nearly cried watching how comfortable Naruto and Ino looked together. She wanted to scream as she over heard them talking about native floar and fawna. She never realised Naruto had so much in common with Ino, and she made a mental note to learn more about plants then Ino knew.

Hinata's heart almost stopped when the waitress called Ino Naruto's girlfriend. She was ready to kill when Ino didn't deny it. It was Naruto that stopped her as he spoke to the waitress.

"Sorry, but Ino isn't my girlfriend. Do you think we look like a couple or something?" Naruto informed her.

Hinata wanted to kick Ino's teeth in for that blush. She had some hope since Ino had yet to steal her Naruto-kun. She almost rushed in and killed the waitress when she spoke.

"Well you got most to them fooled." The waitress informed them as she guestured to Team Nine.

Guy had been so moved by this first date that he sent over a healthy ice creme. Tenten was glaring at Neji for not taking her out on such a romantic date. Lee, however, messed with Guy's order telling the waitress they only needed one spoon.

HInata was pissed at Neji! He did nothing to stop, the Homewreaker from getting many indirect kisses. Ino didn't even think about sharing a spoon with Naruto, and Hinata hadn't had kiss one with Naruto indirect or not. She fumed about Ino not playing fair.

Hinata held her hands over her mouth to stop her scream at there last stop. Naruto had actually brought her to his secret garden! He brought no one there, and to be honest if she hadn't found herself following him more then she cared to admit, she wouldn't even know about it. He had never even brought Sakura here, and then she knew it Ino was the bigger threat!

Hinata was calling Ino every nasty name she wasn't suppose to know in her head. Ino was sharing part of Naruto's personal world with him instead of her. Hinata curse that the team assignments were almost here. What she wouldn't give for a chance to destory that cute face of Ino's.

Hinata was working on a plan to mess Ino's looks up when she followed them back to the flower shop. She was trying to figure out to steal Naruto away to walk her home. What happened next meant war between Ino and Hinata. Ino had kissed her Naruto !

Hinata ran off into the night. Her only thoughts were that she refused to lose Naruto-kun to Ino. She took a deep breath and ran to Kurenai's friend, Anko.

Hinata had seen Naruto check out Anko once or twice. She knew that Anko could help her win over Ino in and sexy department.

'Goodbye, Plain Hinata!' Hinata repeated in her head as she made her way to Anko and Kurenai's apartment.

HInata didn't know that Naruto had sensed her all that time. She couldn't possibly know that he was hoping that letting her follow them would put an end to her crush. She couldn't know Naruto was just as surprised at the kiss as Hinata and Ino herself was.

Hinata hadn't seen Ino run off to Sakura in a panic wondering if she actually had feelings for Naruto. She didn't see the confused look on Naruto's face. She would never guess what the heart to heart between Sakura and Ino might unleash. The only thing Hinata knew was that she was declaring a war for Naruto's heart!

Sakura was wondering what was so damn important that she heard bangs on her fornt door. She heard her mother to send away whoever was making such a racket at almost midnight. She sighed as she went down and to her shock saw Ino looking paniced wearing the Naruto Jacket.

"What the hell is going on, Ino-Pig." Sakura demanded.

"Let me in we need to talk Sakura!" Was all Sakura could get out of Ino.

Sakura lead Ino up to her bedroom and shut the door so her mother wouldn't hear them. She got the clearly stunned Ino to sit on her bed. She was, however not prepared for what Ino was about to blurt out.

"I KISSED NARUTO...I need my best friend's advice!" Ino blurted out.

Sakura couldn't understand more then a few things of this. First, when did Ino start liking Naruto. Second, did it mean she would give up Sasuke. Third, why did it feel like someone punched her in the gut. Finally, WHAT THE HELL LEAD UP TO THIS KISS!

"Alright, Ino spill." Sakura demanded not willing to even think about the feeling as if her world dimmed.

Ino faithfully recounted the shopping trip. Each little part made the punch in the gut feel as if it was becoming a nasty beating. Sakura couldn't help, but agonize of each small peice of information.

"To start off, Naruto gave you a rare flower with seeds?" Sakura inquired.

"Yes, do you think he knew it was my fondest dream just to see that flower?" Ino replied with a blush.

'Naruto is always confessing to me not you, Ino-pig.' Sakura thought, but said.. "I doubt it, the Baka, isn't that smart to find out details like that."

"If you say so, I have seen his mind and it is as complicated if not more then Shikamaru's." Ino retorted not knowing why she was defending Naruto-kun, and ignore the fact she was now adding kun.

"Alright next, the two of you went underwear shopping?" Sakura asked, but thought.. ' Are you trying to steal the only boy that has tried to make me smile.'

"Yes, and now that I think about it, I tried on swimwear in front of him. I even let him buy me a biniki." Ino said lowering her head. "I have to say he is hot when his body isn't covered with kill me orange clothes!"

"Let's ignore the he's hot comment." Sakura commanded Ino, but inwardly wondered if Naruto had been hiding a killer body under those clothes. "Plus, I don't believe it."

Ino suddenly angry that her friend didn't believe her eye for beauty or this case hotness. She used the mind transfer to show Sakura. She left when she heard Sakura's mind scream that Naruto was indeed hot.

"Told you so." Ino gloated about being right.

Sakura for the moment was lost in the fact that she never noticed that Naruto was hot. She had always thought him annoying. Worse yet, with the mental picture of Naruto down to his underwear with mess, Ino had accidently showed her Naruto's mind. Sakura had to guess that that place was somehow part of Ino's view of Naruto.

"What was that place you showed me?" Sakura asked.

"I shouldn't have shown you that. I mean I didn't mean to show you that. It is just I tried to mind transfer into Naruto once, and well that's his mindscape." Ino rambled.

"You know you aren't suppose to use your clan technic on another leaf!" Sakura fummed as she was big into the rules.

"Don't tell me that Hinata hasn't used her Byakugan to see Naruto naked. She keeps saying we don't know the real Naruto!" Ino defended herself. "Oh Kami, you don't think I am right do you!"

"You know what they say about the shy ones." Sakura commented, and she wondered if she would trade places with Hinata for that bloodline. "Back to this non-date."

"Well I just helped him get clothes that would match his dreamy eyes and skin." Ino told her.

"Ino, did you just say dreamy?" Sakura asked, but she had to admit... 'Alright I have been lost in those eyes. It has tooken me a bit to hit him because I got lost in them.'

"The only other big thing was sharing an ice cream that someone sent us. They seemed to think we were a couple. I mean who sends a couples ice cream with one spoon." Ino mused.

"You shared an ice cream. No better yet you ate it with the same spoon. You might as well been indirectly making out!" Sakura almost screamed.

"Well I didn't think about that at the time. I mean I was looking forward to seeing his garden." Ino defended herself.

"Ino garden is a euphimism for a womans pussy not a man's dick." Sakura informed her without much thought to the implications.

"Naruto's actual garden, Sakura-ecchi." Ino gasped.

Sakura and Ino fell asleep talking over this non-date. After many misunderstandings, they had agreed on two things. One, it sounded like a date was said out loud. Two, Crap I have feeling for Naruto, however, was not shared with the other.

Arthor's note:

Yeah Yeah Yeah. I know my chapters aren't really getting longer. Sakura has realised now that Naruto is the one that has always made her feel good about herself. Ino has some to see that Naruto has jumped in and gotten under her skin. Hinata has declared war for what she wants, and no matter the costs won't lose to Ino for Naruto. As smart as I hope you will find Naruto is behind his cannon mask, guys and girls you all know emotions exspecially love strikes the best of us dumb.

To those who want a harem: I said I was thinking about it, but shame on you. A harem in manga and Anime normally means multiple girls going after one guy. So yes, I have decided to do a harem, but I haven't yet decided if polygamy is on the table or not.

Insert Evil laugh here.

Til next chapter...
