Hello everyone! Well lest go and see the rest of second day trade, shall we, but the way this ended we still have one chapter to go! Yeap, Shikamaru is starting to get jealous and Ino starting to accept the fact she likes him. I think Naruto and Kiba are doing a great job at it, lets see how it turns out. I wanted to end this fic in the third day, but the way I see it will have two or three more chapters. Lets just pray for Naruto and Hinata to see some light.

This chapter was a loooooooooong one, and I mean long, I decided to divide it on two chapters, instead of posting a long one, on the bright side I have almost three chapters done, but don't worry next chapter its being written already! I just love to write, sorry.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

A thud.

Damn that Shikamaru, damn him and his moods, one seconds he's all smiles and the next he snaps at me?! How dare he?

Ino was fuming, another thud, another part of the fence made, stick by stick nailing it to the ground, she took another one, put it next to the one and hit it, hard. Freaking idiot! With another one it got stuck on the ground, each thought converted into a magnificent punch, so the task of doing the fence was going rather quickly.

Really, he interrupted the best moment in Hinata's life! Alright, maybe she was exaggerating but still… and then, then he snaps at her over something she didn't even think of! Changing teams?!

Thud. Changing. Thud. Teams?! Another piece of wood.

Changing teams! Like she could dream of a world where she didn't belong with him and…

Belong? Where on earth that word had come from? She was in a team with Shikamaru and Chouji, the word belong sounded—too... too strong for her. Belong. Did she? Did she belong with them? Anyway! In every case she didn't want to leave them, yes, she would have jumped at the opportunity two years ago, when the teams were made, but now she couldn't picture a life without the three of them, Asuma sensei included. So… so what? Ah right! Changing teams?! Pair with Kiba and be best friends with Hinata?! CHANGE TEAMS?!

Thud thud thud thud!

"You. Are. Such. An. Idiot!" Ino screamed.

Tenten and Hinata who were on her left side and were painting the sticks Ino was nailing to the ground shared a look, worried sick about their friend, who was at the very moment sticking the wood in the wrong places and the fence, that was coming neatly, was now looking like a wood snake around the huge house they were working with.

"She has lost it." Tenten declared. "I knew she was crazy."

Hinata feared for the extra job they would have to do, unstuck the boards and start again, she looked at Ino frightened.

"I think… I-I think we should stop her."

They both looked at Ino who was ragging and saying things they couldn't understand, even if their lives depended on it. They again shared a look, Tenten sighed in defeat.

"I'll handle her…" Tenten rolled her eyes with a little smile on her pretty face, knowing the shy girl will do next to nothing to stop Ino, first because Ino would refuse to listen, and secondly because Hinata looked amused at the whole thing. Tenten walked to blonde grils, now very far gone sticking wood on the earth like her life depended on it, she saw her chance a few steps away from her.

And above it all he always calls me troublesome! I should really change teams! Maybe trade myself for Sakura, see if he can survive a day with her! Ha! Would love to see him trying! That little—

Suddenly the breeze felt really cold as water poured down on her, she stopped mid air with the hammer she was working with in her hands, she blinked twice and let all her angry at Shikamaru go, she just stood there, dripping wet, as the suddenly rush of water washed over her she forgot about Shikamaru and her anger at him for a moment…. She breathed once… twice and then… why was she dripping wet?! She turned, angry mood on again.

"What on earth do you think you are—" She couldn't say what on earth she was doing cause at the moment Tenten was very busy splashing Ino, laughing all the whole, a hosepipe on a hand, and the other one on her hip, her head tilt to one side and smirking, almost waiting for Ino to start again. Ino was glaring at her, she dropped the hammer to the ground and took one step.

"Im going to kill you! And then—"

Splash.

"And when Im done with you I'll—"

Splash.

"I hope you have done something worth to write on your tomb!"

This time no splash for Ino, as Tenten was laughing now, Ino crossed her arms, now really soaked from head to toe, she shivered at the wind but other than that did not react to Tenten's laugh, still holding the pipe with dear life in case Ino decided to end her life. She looked even more furious than before and that only increased when she heard Hinata giggling not stop next to her, but she just continued on turning her head and crossing her arms, throwing daggers at the brunette.

Finally Hinata regained herself first and walked to Ino with a towel on hand. Seriously, Ino thought, does she has a magic backpack where she carries her entire house? A few years later she would have refused the towel, she being so proud, she being the perfect Ino that never ever needed help. She eyed the towel and finally she sighed and accepted it with a scoff and wrapped her hair in it, then glanced at Tenten who was trying hard to keep a straight face and failing at it.

"Now that you both seem ready to talk, can you please explain why are you trying to get me killed?"

Tenten scoffed at her, still not moving from her spot with the pipe.

"You know, just stopping you from reaching the Hokage Tower with a deformed fence."

Ino blinked twice, she looked around in disbelief. She opened her mouth wide at what she was seeing, from afar the fence looked neatly, half of it already painted white, then, suddenly it started to crumble and deform and finally the sticks were placed like if a snake was being made of wood, some of them were even put at random places, she winced.

"Im sorry" She said after two wholes minutes, was she that immersed on her thoughts that she had made all this mess? Suddenly the grudge against her teammates was forgotten, she smiled sheepishly to both of them. "I can't believe I did this."

Hinata just smiled kindly and Tenten finally let go of her massive good weapon, now that she was safe within range of the blond girl she felt like stepping a little closer.

"It's alright, you were mad and you took your anger, on well—the fence." Tenten looked at the deformed fence and then at Ino, she sighed just thinking in the amount of work ahead. "It's alright"

Ino wasn't so sure if it was alright, but nodded.

"Let's start by pulling them off and start again…" Hinata said eyeing the mess and then walked to the point where hell had broke loose and marked it with a white paint. "Here, all the boards from this point to the right."

Ino and Tenten nodded, Ino made most of the work, or at least she was trying to make the others works less, since it had been after all her fault. Tenten was impressed, from what she had seen and heard Ino was very stubborn, and she doubted Ino would have wanted to even help, or say sorry for that matter, but she had not only apologized, but helped them both without even questioning them, Tenten respect her for that at least, as much as monster she could be at times, she was responsible.

"There! Last board!" Ino said pulling the last of the misplaced sticks off the ground, from what it looked like they only had two or three hours more of light. "Sorry, we could have finished today if it hasn't been for me."

"Don't worry, it's alright" Hinata said smiling to her. "But I believe we should eat something… we haven't eat."

Tenten and Ino blinked, she was right, and now that she mentioned it… she was hungry. Hinata walked to her backpack.

"Sorry about… well, that…" Tenten said eyeing the blond who was just starting to get dry and Ino just shrugged, she hanged the now damp little towel on the fence they were making.

"It was a hot day."

They both giggled and then their eyes twinkled. "I didn't know you wanted those two to end up together!"

Ino sat on the ground and Tenten followed suit. "Are you kidding?! Neji is always complaining about how Hinata is so in love with Naruto that it actually frustrates him! He used to tease her, now he had completely lost it, just hearing his name makes Hinata blush, I swear Naruto its just too slow."

Ino chuckled. "They are just so cute."

"I know!"

"And besides, I think Naruto would do her some good…"

Hinata was making her way back slowly and Tenten just shrugged. "I just hope Naruto will see light soon enough, if tomorrow I end up in a team with him, I'll make sure something happens."

Ino gave her a look.

"Didn't know you were such…" She wanted to say such a girl! To her eyes, Tenten had always been kind of a tomboy, but thanks kami she changed her words on time, didn't want to hurt her new friend. "Such a good teammate."

Tenten chuckled. "Yeah, well, same goes for you."

Hinata arrived with backpack on her hand, she opened it and handed them a few sandwiches and apple juice along with three cups, Ino decided to give it a try.

"Hey, Hinata, I bet Chouji would be completely happy with you around! Having this much food on your backpack all the time!" Ino took one sandwich as Tenten served the juice. "Even Naruto. Yesterday I worked with him and boy, he eats!"

Hinata blushed but other than that said nothing. Tenten sighed and drained her apple juice in a gulp, she eyed strangely the cup and then just shrugged as she got more along with a sandwich, she was thirsty, they were silent for a long time before…

"Lets play something, shall we?" Ino said out of the blue, Tenten sighed and Hinata raised her brows. Hinata was just eating her sandwich in peace, she thought was it wrong to have some peace? At least at lunch Kiba and Shino would get so immersed on their thought they would give them a break. She remembered the little play—bet Kiba had called on the two of them.

She chuckled a little and decided to not brake her vow to both their teammates and drink water instead, she could beat Shino and Kiba were doing it too. 'It would make us better and stronger' or so Kiba had said before parting ways on the first day of the trade.

He said if they three could only drink water before seeing each other again will serve as a way to prove their honesty and loyalty, besides it couldn't hurt to their health. Hinata has seriously worried about how Kiba could find just drinking water for three days a way to make the team stronger, but somehow right now she caught on it, she felt guilty just watching her cup filled with juice, she could always lie… and again she felt guilty, she wouldn't do that. Even if it was over just water. She imagined the other two drinking water and she chuckled, she could bet he had done it to prove who could lie too. She wondered if she would be able and capable enough to discover them if they had done so.

Sometimes people didn't give Kiba enough credit.

"Play?" Hinata looked around, as she took from her backpack a bottle full of water and gave her juice to Tenten who gladly drank it all. Hinata looked around searching for a park nearby or a reason why the blond was asking this. Usually all the ideas that Kiba said where because he was watching something. She sipped her water with a shy smile. "What do you want to d-do?"

"Not in the mood, been standing under the sun all day!" Tenten said looking tired to Ino, she chuckled.

"We don't even have to move, Shikamaru and I invented it on a trip where we just had to ask question, you know? They don't even have to make sense and you don't have to answer."

"Then what's the point?" Hinata asked totally confused.

"The first to answer a question or can't think of a proper one, loses." Ino shrugged. "The point is to never stop asking and look at the other people's eyes to know who you are asking, easy and trust me, it's pretty fun."

Tenten sighed as she grabbed another sandwich and looked at Hinata who shrugged.

"Should we play, Hinata?"

Hinata was about to answer when she blinked twice and smiled, a huge smile on her face actually, Ino stared confused.

"Why don't you ask Ino?"

"Why are you staring?" Tenten asked Ino, Ino was about to answer when she smirked, they almost got her, almost.

"Why do you always have food on your backpack?" She said to Hinata.

"Well because I think it's important to be p-preared…?" Hinata said to Neji's partner and all of them laughed at how Hinata had tried very hard to make her answer a question. And so the game began again, eating and laughing all the while, they lost and started a third round. After a few minutes they all got very good at it, just asking and asking and the games lasting longer and longer.

"Do you think I'm a good ninja?"

"Why do you always wear purple?"

"Have you ever been on a date?"

Tenten lost as she got all red. "I…I-I Have never?" But Hinata and Ino marked it as a wrong answer and stared again, Ino smiled smugly, she wanted to believe Tenten have had or at least in a future something with Neji, they seemed right to her. Shikamaru crossed her mind again, she wouldn't think of him.

She sighed a bit before returning to the game, her teammate never leaving her mind, she had to make sometime for her alone before they got to go home… she needed to think in peace about what had happened today…and if she even wanted to know, the way he had said Kiba's name made her wonder if he had somehow found out about her date… a thought crossed her mind and she quickly shrugged it off as she said:

"Why are your eyes white?"

"If you could change places with me for a day would you do it?"

"Do you like sandwiches?"

"Do you like blondes?"

"Why do you like Naruto so much?"

Ino fired to Hinata and the girl just looked dumbfounded before turning crimson red on the face, she tried really hard to keep playing as she fumbled with her sleeves.

"Why… I-I…." She looked to her lap embarrassed and then looked up sheepishly.

Tenten and Ino laughed.

"Gotcha!"

They were silent for a few seconds then Tenten looked around and sighed in defeat, she was sweating though it wasn't that hot now Ino noticed. "We should start again and work for a few more hours… then we can call it a day."

The other two agreed, Tenten stood up and moved to the house were Kakashi had been all day long, since the person they were working with was and old acquaintance of him, he had left them to work while he had caught up with him.

Hinata was packing her bag when Ino decided to say something to the girl, who still looked a little bit red on the face.

"Can I say something, Hinata?" Ino said after hesitating for a second but she continued. "Don't give up on Naruto, I know he's thick, I think the whole village knows he's a little bit thick and slow and sometimes he acts like an idiot but—"

"He's not." Hinata said in a low voice, Ino raised a brow.

"What?"

"He's not an idiot..."Hinata looked at Ino, she wasn't angry, she just was amused and Ino smiled.

"I never said that, I just say that sometimes he acts like it, besides what I wanted to tell you was that he will notice you, trust me, and when he does he would never be able to get you out of his head."

Hinata turned so red Ino had a hard time not laughing, not wanting to make the girl more uncomfortable.

"W-Why—I-I, how can you say… It's not p-proper…"

"Trust me, I got a feeling that the two of you will eventually end up together."

Hinata refused to see her face but nodded slowly.

"Trust me." She repeated. "Tenten thinks so too, you just wait till he's head over hill over you."

Hinata met her eyes. "You think?"

"We know." Ino chuckled, the whole rookie nine knew… just Naruto was at lost here.

"I-I can hope"

"That you can!" Ino smiled broadly. "Besides I believe the combination of the two of you would do Konoha good." She said thinking how they complemented each other, she looked at the sky and stared at the clouds and smiled for a second, then she frowned, confusion in her deep blue eyes, she was supposed to do this… cloud watching with someone else, she remembered Shikamaru and sighed, why was he angry? She did not know, but she intended to find out later that night. She decided. She would ask him and face whatever he had to say to her. If he wanted to walk away so fine, but at least she was concerned!

"What do you mean doing Konoha a g-good?"

Ino smiled and stood up as she saw Tenten coming back from the house looking little from afar, she was running with all her might to catch them, waving her arms, Hinata waited for her answer. Ino sighed, feeling tired all of a sudden, pressing her hand to her forehead trying to get rid of the sweat.

"Well, it's good to know you'll be there for Naruto and put him in place as a good wife if becoming Hokage gets to his head."

If Hinata had something to say Ino never heard it cause she was starting at Tenten who had suddenly and out of the blue fallen to the floor. Ino waited a second a smile gracing her face ready to laugh at her but Tenten did not move. Ino's smile was wiped from her face as she felt something tugging at her stomach.

"Tenten!"

She ran to meet her, Hinata two steps ahead and before she could say something pain gained suddenly over her body, she was shocked at all that was happening, was she sick now?! A wave of pain made her stop and double on her stomach, she was scared now, what was going on?!

She reached her hand out, calling in silence for Hinata who kept running for the brunette, not noticing how the blond was suffering behind her. Unable to yell, scream or even talk she fell to the floor too without a sound for help, the tall grass caressing her cheek. She was staring at Hinata's disappearing back as she felt nothing but pain for a second or two, she felt her body collapsing way too fast, in her grogginess she realized that it couldn't be more than ten seconds the lapse from where she had seen Tenten fall to the point to where she was… everything was so fast… her mind clouded, she wanted to think but her brain refused, Shikamaru… he would know what to do… between all the commotion she thought of him, and she gasped as the dark took her away.
