Chapter 4
Reunited… Well, Via Internet
At Los Angeles, California Sakura couldn't sleep. She still wasn't use to the time difference. It was seven in the morning here so it would be nine at the night over there… or something like that.
'It's seven. I'm suppose to be at the Chic Chick office after lunch because we're suppose to tell were we get to intern in,' Sakura thought to herself. 'I have five hours to kill… well, like three hours counting getting ready and to eat both breakfast and lunch.'
Sakura got up and made her bed. After she made her bed she went over to her wooden desk where her computer (it was really Chic Chick's computer) was at and turned it on.
Since it was like nine something in the night in Japan, Sakura presumed that Hinata and/or Ten-Ten would be on. And since it's like somewhere near noon in France (Sakura didn't really know herself) then maybe Ino would be online.
While the computer was turning on Sakura ran to her bathroom (yes her own bathroom!) to get changed, brush her teeth, and all those stuff so she wouldn't have to do it later on.
She dressed into a big multi color polka dot print on a white halter dress up to her knees with a hot pink silk belt like thing or something like that. Sakura didn't' really know but it was already in their and it was pretty so she bought it.
After she brushed her teeth she combed her hair. Her hair was only up to her chin so she couldn't too much. Sadly, Sasuke liked girls with long hair but she had to cut it.
Finally done, Sakura rushed back to her room and saw that the computer loaded and she went on the Internet and ran to the kitchen to grab something to eat since she was hungry.
As she went into the kitchen she saw Chiyo in the loft sitting in a couch and writing something in a blue, pink, green, and white striped notebook.
"Hey Chiyo," Sakura greeted, as she grabbed a pop tart that she found on the counter. "Jet lagged?"
"Yup," Chiyo replied. "I'm just writing a story that I made up. It's about a girl who met her idol and she found out that it isn't as she imagined it since he's mean to her and calls her stupid."
"That's nice," Sakura said, until noticing the last part wasn't that nice. "Well, you know what I mean. Bye."
"Bye," Chiyo said.
Sakura ate her pop tart as she logged into her instant messaging account. And she was quickly smiled.
Ten-Ten and Ino online? Hell yeah!
-----------------------------
Hinata signed on to her account on instant messaging. She woke up about an hour ago but didn't want to go online because she knew no one would be online… or at she thought. Until she invitation to a chat room.
"Wow, everyone is online," Hinata, said to herself as she clicked the 'accept' button. (A/N: I do own the screen names, but they're stupid so yeah)
You have just accepted to be in the chat room 'Fab Four: REUNITED!' made by: 'CherryBlossomSakura'
In the chat room:
CherryBlossomSakura (A/N: Sakura)
SportsChick (A/N: Ten-Ten)
FlowerFabulous (A/N: Ino)
ShySun (A/N: Hinata... if you're wondering about this SN it's because Hinata's means a sunny place or something like that... I think)
CherryBlossomSakura: Hey Hinata! Haven't talked to you in… a day
ShySun: I know. Sorry I didn't call you back but I had another job.
CherryBlossomSakura: It's alright. So how is your summer so far? …Talking to everyone.
ShySun: Great. The jobs I have are great. Lots of people from our school go there.
CherryBlossomSakura: Like Naruto?
ShySun: yeah
SportsChick: You're blushing right now, huh?
ShySun: yeah
SportsChick: Cool. I'm having a great summer to!
CherryBlossomSakura: Why? Because you get to see Neji all the time?
SportsChick: …yeah. He's in my team!
SportsChick: But Rock Lee is also in my team…
CherryBlossomSakura: EEWW! I'm lucky I'm not there.
SportsChick: AND Gai-sensei is here. He's our sensei. We're in groups of three
CherryBlossomSakura: I pity you
ShySun: Don't worry. It'll be okay
FlowerFabulous: At least you're having an okay summer
ShySun: Aren't you?
FlowerFabulous: NO!
FlowerFabulous: I met this guy who's my auntie and uncle's neighbor, plays Japanese chess with my uncle, and is supposedly a genius!
ShySun: …I'd hate that too. I guess…
FlowerFabulous: I'm not done yet!
FlowerFabulous: He's so lazy! And thinks mostly everything is so called 'troublesome'!
CherryBlossomSakura: so he's lazy and calls everything troublesome… that's not that much?
SportsChick: I know, what's the problem?
FlowerFabulous: Because when I didn't know that he was so annoying, I thought he was cute! EW! I can't believe I thought of that thought!
CherryBlossomSakura: Well, at least if you do get with him I get Sasuke-kun all to myself!
FlowerFabulous: Why? Did you met him yet?
CherryBlossomSakura: No
CherryBlossomSakura: But when I do I'll go like 'Hi Sasuke-kun! I love you!' and then he'll be all like 'I love you too and not that Ino-pig'
FlowerFabulous: yeah right forehead girl!
CherryBlossomSakura: Yeah, I am right Ino-pig!
SportsChick: Well, I have to go because Lee wants to type something and I don't want him too------------djfksdnfj;sadl m;alf,
FlowerFabulous: What the?
ShySun: Ten-Ten?
SportsChick: fjksdmvmiwemifjfsjfsjfsfksdfdskfjmimbpp
CherryBlossomSakura: I think Ten-Ten and Lee are fighting over the computer and then they don't know that they're typing
SportsChick: Sakura, this is Rock Lee typing by the power of youth!
CherryBlossomSakura: …
SportsChick: (A/N: Still Rock Lee typing) I could see that your youthfulness made you stun to see me!
CherryBlossomSakura: …
SportsChick: By the power of youth I demand you to stop liking Uchiha Sasuke! I love you my sweet cherry blossom of youth!
CherryBlossomSakura: …
FlowerFabulous: You can't replace Uchiha Sasuke! You're eyebrows are too bushy and you have a funny haircut!
CherryBlossomSakura: …true
SportsChick: It's Ten-Ten now. I think Lee is trying not to cry but I'm not sure because he said he was going to run 30 laps around the track.
SportsChick: But I have to go follow him. Gai-sensei ordered it.
FlowerFabulous; Bye! Talk or type with you later!
ShySun: Bye! Hope to see you soon!
CherryBlossomSakura: Bye! But chat with me when Lee is a fifty foot radius away from you
SportsChick: okay. Bye!
SportsChick signed off
FlowerFabulous: I have to go too. My aunt Kairi is going to take me around Paris to: shop, sightsee, shop, eat, shop, shop, and to shop! I love shopping!
CherryBlossomSakura: We noticed. Bye.
ShySun: Bye.
FlowerFabulous signed off
CherryBlossomSakura: How are your jobs going so far?
CherryBlossomSakura: You have two, right?
CherryBlossomSakura: Why do you have so many anyways?
ShySun: They're going good. Yes, I have three jobs at the Ramen shop and the Sweets/Candy shop. I have a lot so I could keep myself busy during the summer.
CherryBlossomSakura: And I guess that you applied for the two places that Naruto would most likely be at was a coincidence, huh?
ShySun: Yes, it was
CherryBlossomSakura: No it wasn't! You know that you like Naruto and would do anything to be near him!
ShySun: But he'll never notice me…
CherryBlossomSakura: Good point…
CherryBlossomSakura: When we were in grade school you could be standing right next to him and he wouldn't even notice.
CherryBlossomSakura: But at least now he's your friend! …But then again he still doesn't look like he's noticing you that much
ShySun: Maybe it's because he likes you
CherryBlossomSakura: But I don't like him back! And he'll get over me once he sees me on the cover of a magazine with me standing next to Sasuke Uchiha and the headlines state that we're together!
CherryBlossomSakura: And besides. You're a great girl, Hinata! You're nice, cute, smart, and lots of other things!
CherryBlossomSakura: You just need to boost up your confidence and don't be so shy.
ShySun: I know
CherryBlossomSakura: But don't worry! You're not that shy!
CherryBlossomSakura: It's like when you first met a person you start to stutter and act all shy like. But when they're your friends then you don't stutter as much but you're still a bit shy. And then when the person is like your best friend (like me) then you speak more freely and stuff like that.
CherryBlossomSakura: But even though you're friends with Naruto, you start to blush every time he turns your way. But that's because you like him
CherryBlossomSakura: Get it?
ShySun: Sort of.
ShySun: I should be more confident towards Naruto and other people
CherryBlossomSakura: Something like that
ShySun: Sorry, I have to go to my job at the Ramen shop.
CherryBlossomSakura: Okay. Bye!
ShySun: Bye!
ShySun signed off
Hinata turned off her computer, put on her apron for work, and went to the garage to get her car.
Yes, Hinata had her own car. It was a sixteenth birthday gift. To her it was nothing special; it was just a white convertible. But as she was walking to her car she was thinking about what Sakura said.
'How can I make myself more confident?' Hinata thought in her head as she drove out of the garage and started to drive. 'Talk more? Stop blushing? Stop stuttering? ...I wonder if there's a book somewhere that tells you how to be confident.'
Hinata parked into a parking spot on the Ramen shop. What was weird that Hinata could have just walked to her job since it was like a five-minute walk but her parents were overprotected and said that she would be kidnapped.
It was even a miracle that her parents let her have sleepovers at her friend's house.
Hinata doesn't late nor was she early. She was right on time but that didn't really matter. When Hinata walked into the door not that much people were there in the Ramen shop but that was due to the fact that it was around nine at night. But to her luck Naruto was there.
"Hey Hinata," Ayame greeted. "Can you give this soup to table two?"
"Sure," Hinata said, grabbing the bowl full of soup and looked to see who it was on table two.
...It was Naruto.
'Great,' Hinata thought in her head. 'I can prove that I'm more confident!'
"Here-here's your Miso soup, Naruto-kun," Hinata said as she handed Naruto his soup while blushing a shade of red.
"Thanks Hinata," Naruto said, grabbing the Ramen. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Wh-what is it?" Hinata asked.
"Why do you blush whenever I talk to you?" Naruto asked, oblivious about mostly everything that has to do with Hinata liking him. "It's kind of weird."
Hinata turned a darker shade of red, which wasn't so much of a surprise as she turned around.
"No reason, Naruto-kun," Hinata said, as she covered her red cheeks with her hands. She then started to fast walk. "Enjoy your meal!"
Ignoring the people that called for her help, Hinata fast walked towards the bathroom, which was surprisingly clean compared to other public bathrooms, and put some water on her still red face.
'He thinks I'm weird?' Hinata asked in her head as she felt the cold sink water on her warm cheeks. (A/N: In some episode I remember Naruto said that she was kind of weird for blushing whenever she looked at him) 'Of course anyone that sees a person blushing by looking at them will think that the person is weird. But is that a sign that he doesn't like me?'
Hinata turned the sink off and looked up at herself in the mirror. Her face wasn't as bright red as it was before but now a mellow like pink that someone could mistake as pink makeup. Her hair was short but that was due to her putting it that way since her hair is actaully long. Her eyes were like a light lavender to white. Other then the fact of her blush, Hinata thought she was pale and not that pretty.
'No wonder Naruto doesn't notice me,' Hinata thought to herself. 'I look so... so... not like Sakura, who he likes. I should change my look and who knows, maybe It'll boost up my confidence.'
A/N: Okay there's the chapter... I'm not exactly happy with it tough.
Next chapter: It'll be something with Ten-Ten and Neji for the most part. But at the ending it will have Sakura and Sasuke... well probably just Sakura because she didn't meet Sasuke yet. But in the next chapter she will! I think...
Still, please review but no flames! I'll update as soon as I can but because of school and my laptop isn't here anymore then It'll be sort of hard.
