Crushes Between Friends
Chapter 4 - Dreams, Confessions, and a Note: Part 2
Hinata and Tenten decided to wait till the next day to tell everyone, and to ask the question they had both been dying to ask. 'Did you give sakura that note?'
NEXT DAY: breakfast
Since Naruto was in charge of food, you know what that means. Ramen for breakfast, ramen for lunch, and ramen for dinner. So once again the girls cooked ramen.
"I'm gonna go for a walk." Sakura said picking up her dish and putting it in the sink.
"I'll go with you." Sasuke said also putting his dish in the sink.
"Okay!"
So the two walked off for their little walk thingy.
Tenten and Hinata waited to hear the door to close before they would tell anybody
-BANG-
Tenten and Hinata turned around from looking at the door.
"Okay, Hinata, let's tell them." Tenten said, while Hinata nodded in agreement.
"Tell us what?!" Naruto and Ino shouted.
"Okay, you guys can't tell Sakura anything, other wise Sasuke would kill you and us. But probably mostly us." Hinata said pointing a finger at her and Tenten.
"Okay, okay. We promise!" Naruto said.
Tenten took a deep breathe before saying, "Sasuke has a crush on Sakura!"
Everyone gasped, well except Hinata and Tenten cause, you know, they already knew.
"Are you serious?" Ino said.
"Mhm." Tenten and Hinata said nodding their heads.
"He told us last night." Hinata said.
"Troublesome."
"Go figure." Neji said.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Well it's obvious he likes her. And even if he didn't, they would eventually fall for each other, being friends since who knows when."
"Yeah, that does make sense. I think." Naruto said.
"I can't believe that Sasuke likes Sakura!" Ino screamed, out of nowhere. She did think the two made a cute couple, but never actually believed that they might end up together. She'll have to keep that from happening. "So, can we tell Sasuke we know?" She asked.
Tenten and Hinata had to think about that one, cause they seriously didn't even know if he would kill them for telling the rest of the gang. But Tenten came up with an idea.
"Well, don't tell him straight out. Just kind of give him looks, whenever he's like looking at Sakura or something like that. Do. You. Understand. Naruto?"Tenten asked slowly.
"As a matter of fact... I ... don't."
Everyone sweat dropped.
"Well I'm not going to explain it again." Tenten said kind of annoyed.
"Just remember," HInata began, everyone looking at her, " don't mention any of this to Sakura."
Everyone nodded in understanding. Even Naruto! Oh, it's a happy day! Now everything was silent, everyone staring at everyone else.
"Sooo." Tenten said, " what's everyone going to do today."
"Cloud watching."
"Oh! I'll join you!" Ino said.
"Troublesome."
"I'm going to work on my training!" Tenten said raising a fist in the air.
"Nothing." Neji said keeping his hands over his well toned chest.
"I think I'll just spend the day with Hinata-chan!" Naruto said.
Hinata blushed a little tinge of red. Everyone knew that Hinata had a crush on Naruto, and they also knew that Naruto had one on her.
"O-okay N-naruto-kun." Hinata said back to her stuttering, which she only did when she was talking directly to Naruto, and twiddling her fingers.
So everyone going to where ever they were going.
HINATA AND NARUTO-
"So, Hinata-chan, what do you want to do?" Naruto said slightly blushing, but still keeping on his foxy grin.
"I-I d-don'y c-care. What w-would y-you l-like t-to do?" Hinata asked, still stuttering and twiddling.
Naruto thought a moment, thinking of the things Hinata and him could do, that wasn't perverted.
"Wannna hang down by the beach or something like that?"
"S-sure! S-sounds l-like f-fun." She said, face getting even redder then before.
So Hinata and naruto started their walk down to the beach.
INO AND SHIKAMARU-
Shikamaru slowly walked trying to find a good place to look at clouds.
"Oh Shika! This is going to be so much fun!"
'troublesome woman. All she does is ruin the peace and quiet.'
'And yet you still like her.
'What? Who the hell are you?'
"I'm your inner self. You know what you're real feelings inside are. So basically I'm... well actually I don't know how else to explain that more.'
'Oh please. I've got an IQ of over 200, I don't have a crazy 'inner self' running around inside of me.'
'Yeah, well you do, so deal with it!'
'What ever. Just leave me alone , I don't need you so get lost.'
'Fine, whatever you say, oh great one!'
"Hello! Shika! Did you hear me?' Ino said, annoyed that nobody, as usual, was listening to her.
"What?"
"I said, if we walk any further, we're going to walk off the edge."
"Oh, right, let's just stop here."
So Shika and Ino laid down on their backs and began their cloud gazing.
HINATA AND NARUTO-
"So, Hinata, what should we do first?"
" I think that we should run." Hinata said wide eyed.
"What? Why?"
Hinata stood up and started walking slowly away backwards.
"Um. Hinata? What's wrong?"
Naruto-kun! Look out!"
TENTEN-
Tenten heaved as she launched herself back up into the air, trying to practice on her target skills. As she started falling back down and un unusually strong wind hit her, causing her to move slightly, and also lose her concentration making her land on her feet wrong.
When Tenten hit the ground she heard a slight crack. Tenten screamed in pain, clutching her ankle.
"Ah! God!" Tenten tried to move her ankle but failed. All she got was even more pain.
"Great, I'm stuck out here, nobody knowing where I am and I've got a broken ankle! HELLO! ANYBODY OUT THERE!?"
Just then she heard a twig crack.
"Hello? Who's there? Show your self coward!"
Tenten said clutching her ankle harder in pain and fear.
Then emerging from the bushes came a huge, gigantic, brown... GRIZZLY BEAR!
Tenten screamed at the top of her lungs.
NEJI-
Neji quietly walked through the woods. For some weird reason though he couldn't get his mind off of the panda bunned girl.
'She always seemed so... dedicated. Why is that?'
Then he heard loud scream of pain.
'Who could that be?' Neji thought as he decided to make his way towards the sound.
As he got closer he heard the same person yell, "Hello! Anybody out there?!"
Neji continued quietly towards the yells. Then he heard a loud scream, this time not of pain, but of fright. So he started sprinting, dodging every rock, twig, and tree that got in his way.
When he got to a clearing he saw Tenten crawling backwards away from a huge, gigantic, brown... GRIZZLY BEAR!
Neji ran towards the bear kicking it down, but it soon got up taking a swipe back at him, leaving a few scratches on his back, since Neji turned around to keep it form getting his flawless face. Neji threw a punch at the bear knocking it back down. But once again got back up, but this time instead of fighting back it got up and ran away. Neji breathed heavily. He turned to Tenten who had her eyes closed.
"Tenten, you can open your eyes now." Neji said kneeling down beside her.
"O-oh." Tenten said blushing ever so slightly as she opened her eyes she hadn't realized she had closed.
"Why didn't you run?"
"Un.. I think I might have broken my ankle." Tenten said almost forgetting the pain she was in.
"Here, let me look at it."
"Fine. But you better only look at my ankle other wise you're a dead man."
"Tenten, I may be a guy, but I'm not that perverted.
Neji activated his Byaccugan and looked only at her ankle.
"Yep. It's definitely broken." Neji said as he stood up and started to try to pick Tenten up.
"Um... what do you think your doing?"
"Carrying you back to the lodge." He said as he picked her up bridal style.
"I don't think that's necessary for you to do that."
"Well I think that you probably can't walk very well now can you?"
"So!"
"It'll just make your ankle works."
Neji started walking toward the cabin, getting annoyed by Tenten's complaints about how she didn't need help and now she was completely capable of fending for her self.
"Just be grateful I heard you before that bear got you."
That got Tenten to shut up for a while. But we all now that couldn't have lasted very long.
INO AND SHIKA-
INo had fallen asleep. He head was now resting on Shika's shoulder. He was sitll a wake. But every few seconds he would glance at the sleeping girl beside him.
HINATA AND NARUTO-
Hinata was pointing at something behind Naruto. He dared to turn around only to be met by a cold wet splash of a tidal wave!
( I know those are only in the ocean, but bare with me on this one, it's the best I could come up with!)
Hinata couldn't help but laugh at the boy who was now soaking wet, running around like a lunatic, and yelling incoherent things. Hinata walked a little bit closer to Naruto.
When he realized that she was laughing at him he looked over at her. She tried to stop, but he just looked too funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Naruto asked.
"You're soaking!" Hinata said laughing hysterically.
"Well you can't talk." Naruto said a mischievous look in his eyes.
"What are you talking about? I'm not even w-" Just then Hinata felt a cold splash of water hit her face. It had come from none other than Naruto.
Oh, it was on. WATER FIGHT!
The tow started splashing each other with water. By the time they were don't both of them were soaked to the pulp. They were so tired they just fell down on the sand. Hianta's head resting on Naruto's shoulder, and Naruto having his head rest on her head. She couldn't help but smell him, and he couldn't help but smell her. And they stayed like that until they decided it was time to head back to the lodge and go straight to bed and sleep.
TENTEN AND NEJI-
(just to clear something up, this is all happening at the same time if you haven't figured that out yet.)
When they arrived at the lodge Neji carried Tenten into the kitchen, setting her down on the counter.
"Why did you put me on the counter?" Tenten asked.
"So that I won't have to bend so far down when I wrap that ankle."
Neji walked away toward his room to get some wrap he had brought. He soon got back and carefully remove Tenten's sock and shoe.
"Now, don't move a... bone." Neji stated smirking.
"Haha, very funny! You just think that- OW!"
"Sorry." Neji said as he stuck some pins in th cloth so that it wouldn't unravel.
"There. Your good to go."
"Yeah, I would if I could, but I can't. Go get me some alcohol and cotton balls."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
Deciding that it was best that he go get what she requested so he did.
When he came back she had another order for him.
"Now, take off your shirt." Tenten said blushing a little more than usual.
"What?" Neji asked raising an eyebrow.
"J-just d-do it."
"Whatever you say." Neji said removing his shirt.
"Turnaround." She said still blushing, just a little bit more.
Neji followed her orders.
Tenten opened the bottle of alcohol and put some on a cotton ball. She dabbed it across the scratches on Neji's back, occasionally hearing 'oo's and ah's' of pain coming from Neji.
After she was done Neji mumbled a thanks and put his shirt back on. Then silence his. Tenten, forgetting about her broken ankle, jumped down from the counter and was about to tumble down to the ground when Neji caught her.
"Thanks."
"What were you thinking?"
"I forgot about my ankle."
"How could you forget?"
" I don't know. Just let me go to bed, I'm tired.
Neji once again picked Tenten up bridal style, and carried her to her room.
"I really need to get crutches." Tenten said to her self having Neji hear.
"Why? You've got me." Neji said smirking.
"That's exactly why I need them."
Neji laid Tenten down on her bed.
"Thanks." Tenten said.
"Yeah, yeah."
"Where do you think Sakura and Sasuke are?"
"Probably off talking, doing what best friends do, whatever they do."
Neji started walking away.
"Night Neji-kun. Thanks for today."
"Your welcome." Neji smiled, yes smiled, and walked out of the room turning off the light and closing the door.
'There's something about her. I just can't quite figure it out.'
INO AND SHIKA-
Deciding that it was getting late and they should start heading back, he attempted to wake Ino up from her slumber, but failed. So, he lifted her up bridal style and carried her towards the lodge.
When he got there he laid her down in her bed. Seeing Hinata already asleep he silently walked out, trying not to disturb anyone.
A:N/ So I hope that you all liked my chapter! The next one will be about Sasuke's and Sakura's day. So yeah.
POLL!
Okay, so I can't quite decide if I should make a sequel or just make this an extra long story. If I do make it a sequel then this story will be written a little bit differently. If I don't I'll have to think about how I'm going to write it a little bit more. I had originally planned on making it a sequel, but now I'm not quite sure. This story will be long either way. But if I don't make a sequel, then it might take me longer to update, just because I haven't thought it through yet. So I'd like to know you're advice. Thanks! And don't forget to reveiw!
