Hey guys!

I've got a week off school so I'm probably going to update a few more times within the week. I'm still trying to figure out where this story is going. I've got a few ideas. Hmm...what am I forgetting?

Oh! I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.

Review, review, review.

Peace out

"At least we've got a starting point. All of the girls are partnered with one of us, so we can work on them one on one." Shikamaru planned.

"Yeah, get them to open up and trust us. If what Kurenai said was true, then all of these girls have amazing personalities locked away somewhere. We just have to find them." Neji summerised.

Just then, the bell went. They walked to Maths together and were surprised to see Sakura, Ino, Tenten and Hinata in there.

Hmm...we're in a lot of their lessons. Sasuke thought as they made their way to the teacher.

"I'm Asuma, welcome to my class. Everyone has already picked their seats for the year, so you four will have to sit in front of those four." Asuma reluctantly said.

Unlike Kurenai, he didn't know the girl's full situation and so he honestly believed their facade. He felt sorry for the boys because he himself had witnessed the ice queens in action.

All of the boys to their seats. They were dying to start the plan, but they knew in a classroom soon to be filled with people, they would never get anywhere with these girls. They were going to be a challenge, but the boys were determined. Even Neji and Sasuke, who disliked nearly everyone they met. Something about these girls just intriged them, made them want to find out more.

As predicted, it took less than five minutes for the whole class to arrive. Asuma began teaching as soon as everyone was seated.

Naruto sneaked a glance behind him and saw that all four girls were daydreaming. Asuma seemed to notice this aswell and he decided to call one of the girls out on it.

"Hinata! What is the square root of 152881?" Asuma questioned.

He didn't expect her to get it. In fact, the question was completely off topic. Asuma was ashamed to admit this, but he purposely asked her the question just so that he could see her flustered.

Off course, this didn't happen.

Hinata didn't miss a beat and answered the question the second it had left Asuma's mouth. "391"

Everyone turned to look at her, their jaws on the floor. She just went back to daydreaming and ignoring everything and everyone around her.

Whoa! Naruto thought. Even Neji couldn't have answered that question that fast! These girls are something else.

Impossible! How on earth did she answer that fast? That girl Karin said they were smart, not fucking geniuses. Neji ranted inside his head.

Asuma left the girls alone for the rest of the hour.

"Alright class, I want these ten questions completed for homework. Dismissed." The bell rang as he spoke the last word. Everyone pilled out, eager to get to lunch.

Naruto was the first to finish his food. There was still half an hour left until their next class.

"Why don't we find the girls now? They've got to be around here somewhere." Naruto suggested.

Sasuke swallowed his mouth full of food before replying. "That's actually not a bad idea. Ok, once we've all finished, we'll have a look for them. They can't avoid us forever, we have to work on the project."

"Maybe they don't care if they get bad grades?" Shikamaru said. "I mean, if they're going with the ice queen act, they wont really care about anything."

"They seemed close to Kurenai. Something tells me that they'll do this project just to satisfy her." Neji told them.

"I suppose you could be right." Shikamaru agreed with slightly more enthusiasm than before.

"So it's settled. Come on." Naruto yelled jumping to his feet. People around him gave him confused looks but he just ignored them and made his way outside.

The other boys quickly caught up and began looking around for the four beautiful mysteries of Konoha High.

"Over there!" Naruto said and pointed in the direction he was looking in. They all turned and saw the girls leaning against a huge tree. Tenten had her headphones on and was listening to the radio, Ino and Sakura were laying on the ground with their hands behind their heads and Hinata was listening to the ocean with her earphones in. They all had their eyes closed so they didn't see the boys approach them.

Something was blocking their light, so the girls opened their eyes to see what it was. They were suprised to see the four new boys standing in front of them. This was the first time that the girls had a proper look.

Each boy was tall with toned muscles and an effortlessly handsome face. They all appereared to want to ask the girls something. All of them were curious, I mean, noone ever approached the girls, but none of them refused to break the silence. They didn't do that, they were ice queens after all.

"Umm...Hi" Naruto started.

The girls just looked at him. Was there any point to these boys interupting the only peace they got at this school?

"We were just wondering when you wanted to start our projects. I know you're not thrilled to be working with us, but we still want a good grade on it." Naruto lied. He couldn't care less about what grade he got, but he didn't want the girls to know that.

Sakura and Tenten exchanged glances while Hinata and Ino stared the boys down.

"We're sorry that you got stuck with us, but can we at least try to create a project?" Neji asked.

His patience was wearing thin. Would it kill these girls to say something?!

"Alright" Hinata finally agreed.

They boys' heads turned towards her. When she didn't say anything else, they looked at the other three, apart from Naruto who stared at her for a while longer.

Sakura sighed before taking over. "We'll work on them tomorrow after school." She asked for the boys' timetables and studied them for about ten seconds. "You're in all of our last lesson tomorrow so we wont have to meet anywhere. Drive behind us and we'll work on the projects at our house." She said before all four girls stood up.

Tenten scribbled something on a piece of paper before handing it to the boys. "Here's our phone numbers. Show these to anyone else, and I will personally be the one who orchastrates each and every one of your deaths." She threatened and then caught up with the other girls as they walked towards the school building.

"Well that was easy." Naruto stated.

"They are definately the scariest people that I have ever encountered in my entire life." Neji admitted.

"They invited us to their house! Noone has ever gone there! What have we gotten ourselves into? Aww man, what a drag." Shikamaru exclaimed.

"This could be good." Sasuke began. The others waited for him to explain. "We'll be in their comfort zone. They might be more willing to show the true them. We might even catch them off guard, throw something at them that they're not prepared for."

"I get it." Naruto said.

"Yeah, but we need to make sure that we don't scare them away. We've got three weeks before we don't have an excuse to see them. This plan requires time and patience, something that you, Naruto, don't have." Shikamaru reminded them.

"Hey! I can be patient when I want to be." Naruto defended.

"Just remember that tomorrow. This isn't a game, these girls' happiness is at stake." Neji warned him.

"Okay, okay I got it."

"Good because class is about to start. Come on." Sasuke said before heading back towards the building.

Their next class was PE so they all changed into their PE kits in the boys' changing room before making their way towards the sports hall. They arrived earlier than anyone else and were greeted by the teacher.

"I'm Anko" Anko told them. "We don't have a topic. I just decide what I want you runts to play for the day." She said before walking away.

The boys didn't have time to even reply so they walked over to the benches and waited for class to begin. Everyone started piling in and Naruto noticed the girls on a bench in the far corner of the room.

They were all wearing the required kit, shorts and a polo shirt, but they had made alterations to them.

All of the midthigh shorts had been shortened slightly and all four girls had left their colars open. Hinata and Ino had their shirts tucked in while Tenten and Sakura had theirs out. All four of them had bandages wrapped around their right arms, in the exact same place that the bracelets used to be.

"Do you notice that?" Neji asked the others.

"Notice what?" Naruto asked Neji.

"Of course the dope wouldn't notice it." Sasuke said.

"Notice WHAT?!" Naruto asked now really annoyed.

"They all have bandages on the same arm that they wear thoses cuff bracelets on. It couldn't just a coincidence." Neji replied.

"Meaning?" Naruto still didn't understand.

"You dope! It means that there's something on their right wrists that they don't want anyone to see." Sasuke clarified.

"Oh"

"We might be over thinking things. It could just be a big misunderstanding." Shikamaru suggested.

"Maybe" Neji agreed. "But I highly doubt it." He added.

"Ok you runts, due to it being on the school curriculum, for the next few weeks, we are going to be learning the waltz." Anko announced.

Loads of the students groaned.

"Hey!" Anko shouted to get their attention. "Do you really think that I want to teach you people how to dance?"

She waited for a reply but got none. "Well I don't. It's on the curriculum, meaning that we've got no choice. I thought that I'd get it over and done with so that we never have to do it again."

"Do you even know how to dance, Anko?" One student asked.

Anko sighed. "Yeah, when I was younger, my mam made me take dance lessons. I'm not proud of it, but there you go."

Is there any point to these dance lessons? Neji wondered. It's valentines day in a few weeks. Are they planning something?.

"Anyway" Anko started, breaking the silence that had filled the sports hall. "There is an equal amount of boys and girls in this class, so that makes things easier. I wont make you runts dance today, just make sure to have a partner by the end of the lesson."

"But you're a girl." One of the boys protested.

"And?" Anko asked.

"Well...how are you going to teach us how to dance?" The same boy replied.

"Simple, I asked my old dance partner to come in." With that, she walked towards the office.

Girls started to ask Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji and Sasuke to be their partners. The boys didn't want to be stuck with some obnoxious fangirl. In fact, for some reason there was only four girls that they were interested in partnering. They ignored the cries of the other girls as they walked toward the four who were still sat on a bench at the far side of the room.

"What are we doing?" Shikamaru muttered.

"Do you want to be partners with some lovesick puppy?" Sasuke asked.

"No" He replied. "What a drag."

They were almost at the girls and now they were all suddenly nervous.

"Umm...hi" Naruto began. Woah, de ja vu. He thought.

The girls looked up and were suprised to see the same boys as before in front of them. They would all admitt, the situation was highly amusing. Not to mention the fact that these boys looked adorable when they were nervous.

The girls simultaneously tilted their heads to the side and looked at the boys questionningly.

"Well...we wanted to know if you girls would be our partners?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, cause we thought, you're already stuck with us for something else and you wouldn't have to dance with a bunch of weirdos and it could be fun and we really, really, really don't want to dance with some obsessed fangirl who wont leave us alone and and and-." Naruto babbled on.

"Okay, I think they get it." Neji said in a warning tone that instantly shut Naruto up.

All four boys waited for the girls reactions. The only thing to have visibly changed, was the smirk these girls were now wearing.

"Let me get this straight, you four want to dance with us?" Sakura asked, just to clarify.

"Yeah"

The girls looked at each other.

"Fine"

"Seriously?" Naruto asked, making sure that this wasn't some kind of cruel joke.

"Yeah" Ino said. They all sighed.

"We have to partner with someone. Being with you four would attract the least amount of attention possible, considering that we're already partnered to you for another project." Tenten explained.

Wow, I think that's the most I've ever heard these ice queens say .Well...apart from that conversation that we overheard. Sasuke thought.

Just then, Anko called the class to attention.

"Alright, I want you all to stand with your partners." She aimed that mostly at Ino, Sakura, Hinata and Tenten.

She expected them to refuse to cooperate, like they always did when something required a partner or team that wasn't just the four of them. She was immensly suprised when all four girls walked over to the new kids and split up into four pairs.

Ino was with the boy with the pineapple ponytail, Hinata was with the blondie, Tenten was with the boy with the long hair in a lose ponytail and Sakura was with the boys who had medium spiky black hair.

Hmm...interesting. She thought as she studied them. They don't seem to mind being partnered with them as much as I thought they would.

"Alright, that's it for today. See you runts next lesson."

Everyone went to the changing rooms to get out of their kits. Their last lesson was Design and Technology with Kakashi. They were focusing on resistant materials this term and, suprise suprise, the girls were also in this class.

Kakashi introduced himself to them. He told the class to make something out of any resistant materials they could find in this workshop/classroom and then he pulled out a small book and began to read it, paying no attention whatsoever to any of the students.

Shikamaru began calving a chess piece out of some wood while Naruto started hitting a piece of metal with a hammer.

Sasuke and Neji were too focused on what the girls were making. They were all carving something out of wood. Ino had made an air symbol, Hinata had made a water symbol, Tenten had made an earth symbol and Sakura had made a fire symbol.

They were all staring at what they had made with a lot of intensity.

"Why do you think that they made those symbols?" Sasuke asked Neji.

"Dunno" Neji replied. "Maybe they just like that particular element?" He suggested.

"I don't know. It looks more of a longing then a like to me." Sasuke observed.

Neji took a closer look at the girls' faces. Sure enough, they were all looking at the symbols in their hands with a look that screamed longing and...pain?

"You're right" Neji agreed. "But they also look like they're in pain. Why?" He asked more to himself than Sasuke.

Shikamaru and Naruto had stopped what they were doing at this point and they were both listening to the other boys' conversation.

"Those girls are diiferent, maybe they just have an unheathly obsession with those certain elements?" Shikamaru suggested, trying to be the logical one.

"Somehow I doubt that." Sasuke replied.

Across the room, the girls all sighed wistfully.

"It's ridiculous how much I miss my water." Hinata said.

"Yeah" Sakura agreed. "Ino and Tenten are so lucky. They are constantly surrounded by their elements."

"We're not that lucky. Imagine this, you're in a room surrounded by all of your favourite foods but you can't eat any of it. It drives me crazy to constantly be with my element but not allowed to wield it." Tenten sighed as she looked at the ground and then back at her symbol.

"Yeah" Ino agreed. "And if you miss them that much, just make the sprinklers turn on or start a fire."

"You're right!" They both shouted excited. Everyone in the room looked at them in surprise.

"Did the ice queens actually show some emotion?" One girl asked.

"I can't believe it." Another said in disbelief.

The four boys just continued to watch the girls as they began to whisper eagerly.

"I've got so much energy that I want to let loose!" Sakura whisper shouted.

"Me too!" Hinata agreed. "Forget about the sprinklers, I'm going for a full on flood."

"Wow, I didn't know they were that deprived." Ino said to Tenten.

Tenten nodded her head but she wasn't really listening.

"That's not fair! I want to start an earthquake or something." Tenten complained.

"We can't all wield our elements or someone will get suspicious. Especially considering the fact that we all made a symbol of them." Ino tried to talk sense to the three over excited girls.

"Thanks for voluteering Ino." Hinata said. "Since you feel that way, you'll sit this one out." She told her.

It was silent for about five seconds while Ino processed this. Then...she exploded.

"WHAT?! No way!" She argued. "That's so not fair."

"I think that it's my turn." Tenten told them.

"No it's my turn." Sakura diagreed.

"You're all wrong, it's my turn." Hinata said.

As they were all arguing, they didn't notice that the ground began to shake, the sprinklers had turned on, things were flying all over the place and a fire was beginning to spread in the workshop.

"W-What's happening?" One girl screamed as pandemonium broke out.

"Shit!" Tenten whispered.

"See! I told you if we all used our elements, it would cause chaos." Ino whispered back.

All of them tried to calm down so that they could get their elements to listen. After about ten seconds, the earth and wind were under control again.

Sakura couldn't stop the fire due to the fact that it would be strange if a blazing fire suddenly disappeared, and Hinata couldn't stop the spriklers because it was mandatory for them to be on in the case of a fire.

Kakashi began evacuating everyone in the room. The four girls just calmly walked out of the workshop and towards the exit of the school. Everyone had gathered at the gates and Tsunade seemed to be talking to the fire brigade.

None of them knew that the four boys were watching them from a about twenty metres away.

"Alright, everyone is allowed to finish school early today. However, this is only for today. I expect all of you here tomorrow. That is all." Tsunade announced before turning back to the fire brigade and gesturing in the direction of the fire.

As the girls walked towards their car, they made eye contact with Kurenai.

Sorry. Ino mouthed to her.

She just pursed her lips in reply. They all knew she wasn't really mad. Kurenai knew how hard it was for them at times.

After they were all in the car, Tenten decided to break the silence.

"Man, tell me again why we decided to skip training this morning?"

"Because we were running late." Hinata reminded her.

"I don't get it." Ino said. "I mean, we've gone a week without using our elements before, yet we can't even last one day in school?"

"It 'cause of all of the stress. At home, we're relaxed and calm. At school it's a whole different story." Sakura told them.

"I guess you're right. Either way, we need to have way more control in the future. Frankly, I'm surprised that no one saw us." Hinata said.

"And we will, that wont happen again." Ino promised.

They were all silent as they pulled off of the road and onto a trail that lead deep into the woods. After driving for about ten minutes, a huge mansion with a giant outdoor swimming pool came into view.

I think I'll start making these chapters a bit longer. Whatcha think? Remember to review!

Peace out
