A/N: WHY AM I GETTING NO REVIEWS?
Soba: Yeah, seriously, this is my story!
Me: Actually, you share it w-
Soba: THIS IS MY STORY!
Me: Okay, okay, sheesh! Anyway, I've been drawing how the characters look in this series, so go to my deviantART page to see them (I have my dA name on my profile.)
Oh, god, I think I'm in love, Konohamaru thought.
She's pretty but…no one ever really likes me, Udon thought.
That babe is so mine, Soba thought.
Moegi noticed how the three boys were staring at Hanabi, and she immediately knew what was running through their heads. Call it spending a lot of time with two of them or just them being obvious, but she knew each had just developed a crush on the new girl.
"Hanabi, go sit next to Udon."
What?!?!?! all three boys thought. Soba and Konohamaru wondering why it was him and not them, and Udon in shock that he was actually going to get to be near her.
"Hello," the beautiful girl said as she took her seat next to him. "I'm Hanabi, but I guess you already knew that."
Don't say something stupid…he inwardly pleaded.
"My…my name is Udon…I hope you enjoy it here and you're pretty." He suddenly realized what he had said. "New here. You're pretty new here, right?"
"Well, yeah, I just moved here, but I guess you already knew that too," Hanabi said with a laugh.
She's got a cute laugh…I wish I wasn't so lame…
"I…I'm…I'm glad I got to meet you," he said, staring at her wishfully.
"Me too. I think I like you, Udon," she said with a smile that made his heart skip a beat.
He's going down, both Konohamaru and Soba thought as they watched what appeared to be a full-on flirt-fest.
~X~
Moegi smirked. Just how she liked it, a class with Hanabi but none of the other boys. The perfect opportunity to make a new friend, a girl friend, which was just what she needed to help her through high school.
"Hello, Hanabi," she said, going for the direct approach, walking over to the desk she was sitting in.
"Oh, hello…?"
"Moegi."
"Hello, Moegi! It's nice to meet you!"
"Yeah, same here," Moegi said, sitting down next to Hanabi. "I saw you talking to Udon this morning. He's one of my best friends, and he's really nice. Of course, so is Konohamaru."
"What about Soba? He's related to Udon, right?"
Moegi made a disgusted face. "Yeah, he is, but they're nothing alike. Still, I don't know too much about him." That was true, she only knew that he was a jerk, but she wasn't going to badmouth him. She figured that all three boys deserved a fair chance with Hanabi, and it had never been in her nature to talk bad about someone.
"Oh. Well, isn't it funny that they're both named what they are?" Hanabi asked, giggling to herself.
"Believe it or not, their parents actually corresponded on this. When Udon's mom found out that her sister's son newborn son was named Soba, she decided that the boy she was pregnant with would be called Udon," said the redhead.
"So, Soba's a little bit older?"
"Mmhm," Moegi said, "Say, do you wanna sit with us at lunch today? It'd be a great chance for you to meet my other friends."
Hanabi looked excited. "Really?""Of course, we're friends now, right?"
"Yeah!"
So far, life in Konoha wasn't turning out too bad.~X~
Konohamaru, Soba, and Udon had all had second hour together, and as soon as it ended, Konohamaru grabbed Soba and Udon and drug them off, running to an empty classroom.
"We have a serious problem," he said.
"What, that you're out of you freaking mind?" Soba asked. "Why the hell couldn't you have just TOLD us you wanted to have some sort of secret meeting?"
Konohamaru ignored him and said, "I like Hanabi. Udon like Hanabi. Soba likes Hanabi."
Udon blushed and Soba smirked.
"I don't really care about what happens to Soba, but Udon's my best friend, and I don't want our friendship ruined! So, there are only two options here, and they are: you guys give up Hanabi because she's mine, or we can compete for her heart."
"Hmm, a little competition sounds like fun," Soba said.
"Alright, then that's how it'll go. No backing out and follow the rules. The rules are: all's fair in love and war, so we can do pretty much anything, even if I'm going to be the one Hanabi chooses. One thing, though. We don't let Hanabi come between us. I still hate Soba, but Udon, I don't want to lose you, my best friend," Konohamaru said.
The boys all nodded, shook hands, and then it was on. They were all now on the quest for Hanabi's heart.
A/N: A short update, but I've been having some serious brain farts on this story. However, I've decided to make it longer than I originally intended.
Soba: HANABI WILL BE MINE!
