Shayshaymura: Hi guys.
Illiana: Bb is playing Resident Evil 4 on the Wii, and refering to herself as teh Typewriter, and Allenaye and Viven are hanging out with Gothica, so Shay and I are doing the intro and disclaimer for this chapter.
Shayshaymura: yeah. Ani and Moriko are busy doing something, so we can't hang out with them.
Illiana: So here's the discalimer, BB owns nothing.
Shayshaymura: That was boring. And for everyone who can't read italics! (don't comment, i can't) This is four months after Lena's beating the crap out of senior boys. hehe
Illiana: BB hopes that no one gets confused by this.
Shayshaymura: SO READ!!
Four months later...
Four months working at Demon Eyes Inc. Hinata realized something about her job. Between filing paperwork, doing spreadsheets, and avoiding Karin and Rebecca, Hinata practically babysat. Half the time, she was gently reminding the four partners of meetings and things that had to be done. She nearly had a heart attack when she once walked into Naruto's office, and saw Naruto and her cousin, Neji, playing Guitar Hero. Neji was even winning.
But she enjoyed the work. She enjoyed the environment. She had become good friends with Mattie, even inviting the girl on a shopping trip with Shayshaymura, Tenten, Pem and her. The other women had accepted Mattie, and Mattie was officially one of their group.
Hinata walked to Naruto's office, having finished filing some stuff, and coming across something for him. When she entered the office, she paused.
All four of the partners were in the office. Naruto was sitting behind his desk, his hand laid down on his desk. Neji and Sasuke were sitting in the chairs in front of the desk. Gaara was leaning up against a wall. All of them looked at her.
"What happened?" Hinata asked softly. She had lost her stutter in her first three weeks of work.
"Naruto has no date for the party next week." Sasuke said, a sadistic grin on his handsome face. Hinata didn't have a lot to do with Sasuke Uchiha, considering his secretary was Karin. He was tall, with dark black hair, and black eyes. Lena had seen him on the news once, and commented that his hair looked like a chicken's butt, the way it stuck out in the back. Hinata had laughed, she couldn't help it. His hair did look like a chicken's butt.
"If he doesn't have a date, His granny will get him one." Neji explained, at her confused look.
"Oh the horror!" Naruto moaned. Sasuke and Gaara just grinned. Naruto lifted his head and glared at them. "I don't know why you're grinning, Gaara. What do you think Temari is going to do to you?"
Gaara blinked. "My sister knows better then to step in my life." he said in his slow menacing voice.
"Yeah right." Sasuke muttered. Gaara shot him a glare.
"How bad is it that Tsunade-sama pick his girlfriend?" Hinata asked. Naruto looked at her.
"My Grandmother is slightly crazy. She'll pick the worst person ever." His head fell back onto his desk.
"All you need is a date?" Hinata questioned. A plan was forming in her mind.
"Yes." Naruto's answer was muffled.
"I'll do it." She said. Or she thought she said. Seeing the looks on the boys' faces, she figured she had just squeaked. She cleared her throat. "I'll do it." She forced out.
"You'll do what?" Naruto asked, his head coming up to look at her. He had a puzzled look on his face.
Hinata's face went bright red. "I'll go with you." She murmured. Her gaze hit the ground.
"thanks Hinata, but I don't want to submit you to the torture of my grandmother." Naruto said. Hinata glanced at him, and saw that he was smiling a little.
"Actually I think it's a good idea." Neji said. Everyone stared at him, even Gaara.
"You do?" Shocked voices chorused each other.
Neji sighed, and nodded. "Yes I do. Hinata is voluntarily agreeing to going to a party where she may see people she once knew. It might do her good."
Hinata hadn't thought of that, but Neji was right. She might see people she knew as a kid, that she hadn't been able to face since she was disowned. She gulped, but knew she couldn't retract her offer on that note.
"Maybe." Sasuke said. "It might help Naruto out with more then Tsunade. Him having a date might cut down on the creepy women who bother him."
Naruto blinked. Hinata watched him, and could tell that he was trying to decide which was the lesser evil, his grandmother bothering Hinata, or getting badgered by crazy women. He sighed, and Hinata guessed the crazy women won out.
"What about your daughter?" Naruto asked. Hinata glanced at him.
"I have someone who could watch her." Hinata said quickly.
"Hinata, is it too late to take you up on your offer?" He asked softly. Hinata shook her head. "Good." He sighed again, and buried his face in his hands. "I hate having to bother you with it, but I do need the help."
"Well, since that's taken care of, what about Gaara?" Sasuke asked. Gaara glared at him.
"I don't need a date."
"Yeah you do." Naruto said, lifting his head. "You have the same problem I do. Crazy women walking up to talk to you. You should at least have someone so they won't bother you. Is Mattie free?"
"No, considering she'll already be at the party." Gaara said. "She's going with Kankuro."
"Your brother?" Sasuke and Naruto asked at the same time, both sounding shocked.
"Yes, my brother." Gaara glared at them.
"I have a friend who would probably love to go." Hinata threw in. Everyone turned to her, again.
"really?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, and I'm sure my other friend would like to go with Neji-nii-san, if he doesn't have a date." Hinata said. She was mentally grinning evilly. She wanted to know how Shay knew Gaara, and Tenten and Neji would be perfect together.
Neji blinked at her. "No I don't have a date." He said.
"Gaara and Neji on blind dates." Naruto said. His grin was sadistic. "This sounds like fun."
"What if her friends say no?" Sasuke, always the voice of reason.
"I doubt they will." Hinata said, quietly. "They have nothing else to do."
"Gaara?" Naruto asked, giving the man in question a look. Gaara blinked, and closed his eyes.
"Fine." He muttered. Naruto grinned.
"I'll do it." Neji said, looking at his cousin. Hinata smiled.
"That's great!" Hinata said excitedly. "I'll ask my friends tonight."
"Do we get their names?" Neji questioned. Hinata shook her head.
"This will be fun" Naruto laughed. "Sasuke, who are you taking?"
"Sakura." Sasuke said with a shrug. Hinata blinked as the atmosphere in the room went tense.
"Why the hell are you taking her?" Naruto asked sharply. His eyes were narrowed.
"Because I asked her." Sasuke glared at his friend. "Why the hell do you not like her?"
"Not that our opinions matter, but she's just after the fame of dating the great Sasuke Uchiha." Neji pointed out. Sasuke turned his glare to him.
"I don't think so." Sasuke snapped.
"You're an idiot, Uchiha" Gaara stated.
Sasuke just glared at all of them. Hinata blinked. "Maybe," She started, and everyone's eyes turned to her. "Maybe, you should just be careful, Uchiha-sama. See if she is who you think she is, but keep our councils in your mind?" Hinata said slowly.
"That's a perfect idea. Thanks Hianta." Naruto said.
"Fine, I'll think about it." Sasuke snapped. He rose, and passed by Hianta to leave. Hinata watched him go.
"that was good advice." Gaara said, and he too passed by her. Hinata blinked after him. He usually never said anything to her, let alone any compliments.
"It was good advice, cousin." Neji said with a polite smile. He placed a hand on her shoulder, then exited.
"So, I guess we've got a date." Naruto said with a grin. His grin widened as Hinata blushed bright red.
Shayshaymura: BB is still playing Resident Evil, and cursing her infinate Rocket Launcher. DOn't ask.
Illiana: So dear and wonderful reader, review.
Shayshaymura: You know flattery won't help, right?
Illiana: It might!
