My Cherry Blossom, Chapter 16

Ino glared at Tenten whom just smiled at her innocently. Suddenly, a wicked idea popped in her head and she let out an evil grin.

" Tenten-chan~ You remember when we're at Naruto's sleepover?" She paused, letting Tenten to answer her question. Tenten nodded, not liking the situation she's in. Hinata and Sakura eyed Ino curiously, while she just smiled innocently.

" Mmm.. I was wondering what it taste like, sharing ice cream from other person's mouth? Is it delicious?" Ino asked. By that time, Tenten's face is a few shades of red followed by a shocked gasped from both Hinata and Sakura.

" Y-you N-Neji nii san?" Hinata stuttered, eyes widen in shocked. Tenten fidgeted under her best friend stare, not before sending the blonde a death glare. She prepared the worst from Hinata. Maybe a slap? Ouch! She've seen her slap that perverted boy and it looked really hurt. But what happened next, shocked the life out of her. Hinata's acting not Hinata-ish. She jumped up and down, squealed, shrieked and other stuff that might think that the girl infront of you is a clone of Hinata. I mean, everyone knows that even the most excited thing happened to Hinata, she's always calm. Not shrieking and squealing like a little fangirl!

" Omg! I can't believe you kiss him! Gah! It's so cuteeee!" She gushed and hugged Tenten tightly. Ino, who's shocked to see the weird behavior asked Hinata if she's feeling okay.

" Hinata-chan? Are you okay? You're not acting like yourself." Hinata blinked at her and loosened her grip on Tenten's shoulder. She laughed at them sheepishly.

" Ahaha.. I got overexcited?" Her once weird cheery aura turns into a calm and soothing aura. Sakura smiled at Hinata's matured personality. Then, she remembered something that she had been thinking all along and asked her beloved friends.

" Hey, girls? I've been thinking. If you guys are madly in love with them? Why'd you set them up in a date?"her face shows nothing but confusion while her bright shiny emerald eyes held curiosity. By the statement, as if in cue, all the girls looked down, finding their shoes and heels more interesting than her question. Hinata, whom the first one to snap from the depressing mood let out a small sad smile slid her face.

" Even if we love them more than the other girls, that can't change the fact that the seven of us has an arrangement marriage. The boys were arrange with the sluts or whatever you guys called them while we're arrange with other boys from the Star Private High. It's not fair... We had loved them for eternity and it hurts to know that we don't have a single chance to be with them. And yet, I love Naruto-kun so much and I know I'm selfish but I don't want any other girls to be with him..." She whispered the last part while Sakura just gapped there like a fish.

" Y-you have to be kidding me? Arrangement marriage?! That's cruel!" Sakura stuttered, still shocked from the explanation. Hinata added,

" And that's why when Tenten and Neji nii san kissed, I made such a fuss. This year is the last year before all of us were forced to marry the person we're set up with. Even if it hurts.. It can't be change." A tear managed to slip from Hinata and she quickly wiped them. Sakura stared at them apologetically and rubbed Hinata's back.

" I don't know what to say." Sakura sighed. Suddenly, a chuckled escape from Ino's mouth. Sakura stared at her weirdly.

" No need forehead cause we just need some time to calm ourselves down." Ino smiled at her. Sakura pouted and covers her forehead with her small hands.

" Mou.. My forehead is not that big.." Said Sakura while the others just laughed. Sakura took out her iPod and saw that it was nearly 6.00 p.m. She stretched herself and said,

" It's nearly 6 p.m. I've got to go! See ya soon girls!" She waved at them and walked backed towards the mansion after receiving a several 'bye' from them.

With the boys~

" Sasuke-kun, let's go in that store!" Karin whined while batting her eyelashes. Sasuke stared at her boredly.

" No."

" Please?"

" No."

" Pretty please, with you on top of me?" Karin asked again, giving the boy a seductive look while rubbing his hand. If Karin's not a girl, he would have hit her by now. But since she's a girl and Uchiha must never show any emotions, he bottled it up inside and shoved the girl aside.

" No."

" Bu-"

" Are you really that idiot? I said no means no! Go with your whore boy or something! Just don't bug me!" Sasuke said sternly and glared at Karin. Naruto snickered at her, whom receive a cold glare from her.

" Naru-Naru! That's mean! Apologize to Karin-chan!" Miyuri said, scolding her precious Naruto. Naruto gave her an annoyed look.

" Look, Mayuri-"

" It's Miyuri, sweetie."

" Whatever. I just want to say that I-" Before he could finished his sentence, she cut him off again.

" OMG! HE' GOING TO SAY THAT HE LOVES ME!" Miyuri shrieked while jumping up and down.

" Damn. Miyu-"

" KYAA! HE GIVE ME A NICK NAME! WE ARE SO MEANT TO BE!"

" GAH, I GAVE UP!" Naruto screamed in frustration. Shikamaru shot his eyes open once he heard a scream coming from his friend. He grunted and mumbled something like troublesome. He closed his eyes again, trying to sleep but was disturb why the crimson see girl who kept on poking him.

" Troublesome. Would you stop that?" he asked irritatedly. The girl blink and smile seductivly at him.

" Sorry, Shika-baby. I'm just bored and you kept on sleeping." Rukia replied with a pout.

" Don't call me Shika-baby." He ordered while glaring at her. She just giggled.

" Okay Sexy." Rukia said, snuggling closer towards Shikamaru. He sighed.

" Troublesome, slut." muttered Shikamaru but luckily she didn't heard.

" Neji-kun.. I love you.." Ami said, hugging the brown haired boy. He grunted while trying to pry her off of him.

" Whatever!" He response. Ami giggled at his reaction and kissed his cheeks.

" Aww.. Don't be shy sugar lumps. I know you love me!"

" Pssh.. Yeah right. Only a drunken man will say that."
