Lucky Star

Chapter 5- Cream Puff

"It's the weekend. I'm so happy!" Tenten sang as she mopped around the shop while Ino, Sakura, and Hinata were at the counter watching her.

"Tenten's in a good mood today, isn't she?" Hinata asked.

"Strangely enough, even Neji couldn't annoy her today," Ino added.

"Really?" Hinata looked at Neji was was sitting in his "dark corner of doom," so nicely named by Tenten, frowning more than usual at Tenten, "Yeah, you're right. What crawled up his ass and died today?" Ino and Sakura stared at Hinata in shock. Ino whispered to Sakura, "Did Hinata just cuss and about her cousin?"

Sakura whispered back, "Too much of Tenten's influence." The meanwhile Hinata just kept watching Neji's reactions that varied to annoyance to wanting to throw her against the wall.

Sakura and Ino were now in the action of watching Neji too. "I saw Neji try to do his trick to irritate her. It didn't work. She kept skipping and singing, something about strawberries and tickets." Sakura added.

"Weird, did he try the tripping her or the 'accidently spill my drink'" Ino questioned watching Neji stare at Tenten.

"Even worse the 'I'll question you to death about what's in the cake while I'm eating your favorite cake in front of you," Sakura said. Hinata and Ino winced.

"Well now we know what crawled up his ass today, " Hinata said, "I'll be in the back now. Tell me if anything interesting happens."

"Yes sir," Ino and Sakura said simultaneously.

"Excuse me, could one of you be so gracious as to TAKE MY ORDER!?!" A customer asked from the counter, "I've been waiting here for 10 minutes and all you two have been doing is spy on some guy who has a crush on a girl!" Light bulbs turned on, "NO WAY," Sakura and Ino yelled. They formed a little circle, which is impossible counting on that there were only two of them, "This answers the questions that we've had."

"You know what we need to do now, don't you?"

"YES, YOU NEED TO TAKE MY ORDER NOW!!" The customer demanded, now purple in the face.

"Sheesh, sorry about that." Ino waved a hand at the customer, "Sakura go on back and tell Hinata the situation. I'll take care of it from up here."

Ino turned to the customer, "So how can we so graciously help you today?"

"I'd like to use my brother's free cake for life offer," the customer commented.

"You're Kiba's sister!?! And you're going out with Shino!?!"

---OO OO---

"My big plan has begun!"

"How so?" Dark shadow number one asked.

"They realize the situation. Now they will leap, all we have to do is set up the right situations to get them to express their feelings."

"What feelings? Tenten hates Neji, Neji is irritated at Tenten, and you're staring at Ino's boobs."

"But their such pretty boobs. Do you think-"

"No, you're not going to molest her."
