Overall season 2 theme: Stand Up by J-Min

Chapter theme: Machine by Exo-K

You can bend the rules plenty once you get to the top, but not while you're trying to get there. And if you're someone like me, you can't get there without bending the rules. –Working Girl

"Right there….yes…y-yeah…deeper…please…Sasuke-kun…"

She moaned as her finger nails dug into his shoulder blades, clutching him as he thrusted and grinded in a slow yet fiery pace, breathing heavily, his face deep in her right shoulder as his right hand clutched the pillow and his left toyed with her breast.

She cried out when he hit a sensationally soft spot, tossing her head back as he slightly lifted himself up, leaving delicate kisses along her neck.

She raised her arms; wrapping them around his neck and trailing her hands down his back as he quickened his pace, sending them both on the edge as he mercilessly licked her breasts.

After doing so he lifted his head up and captured her lips in a sensual heated kiss. Their tongue's danced hungrily as she moaned in it.

She released in the moment, throwing her head back and tightening her eyes as she shivered in her climax.

No more than a second later he followed suit, forcing everything he had left inside of her as he growled her name feverously.

He fell next to her, pulling out as their heavy breathing began to settle. She smiled as she opened her eyes, turning to face him as he stared at her blankly, mesmerizing.

She used the sheets to cover the both of them as she dug her head into his chest comfortably early in the morning.

She giggled as she moved herself over, letting her be on top to his surprise, missionary style, while the blanket still hid her from the bottom half.

He sighed, putting his hands behind his head as she playfully trailed her fingers down his rippled chest as her newly returned necklace sparkled over her visible, perky breasts.

"Someone's feeling confident this morning." He smirked, giving her a once over.

She giggled again, "I don't know! I felt like being top dog today!" she beamed as she leaned down.

He used his right hand to trail over the tattoo on her breast, making her twitch.

"Hey! Don't do that! I'm in control now!" she whined.

He raised a brow, "is that right?"

Before she could blink she found herself locked under him once again while he cockily smirked down to her.

"Aw! You're such a jerk!" she frowned as she hit his chest.

He chuckled as he leaned down and kissed her neck.

"Mmm…Sasuke-kun…" she lightly moaned as she began to close her eyes.

Only then did they widen in shock as she looked at his left shoulder.

"What's this?!" she gasped.

"Hmm?" he sighed as he lifted himself up.

She pointed towards the shoulder at a black marking.

He turned his head to it nonchalantly, "oh yeah. That."

"You got a tattoo?!" she yelled, shocked as she poked the three black tomoe.

He nodded, "after they took you. I stopped by Paints before going to Furyoka."

"Why?"

He shrugged, "I felt like it. I meant to do it a long time ago but it just crossed my mind now. Orochimaru thought it would be good for my image. "

She rolled her eyes.

"It's apparently called the 'cursed seal of heaven'. There's a larger version of it but it would have covered half of my body."

She giggled as she poked it.

"Wait until the fangirls see this today!"

"Whatever…they can wait…I have more important business to do right now…" he whispered as he stole her lips in the midst of her giggling. They released for a moment, just to stare at each other.

"I love you…" she whispered lovingly, clutching his hair in her hands.

He closed his eyes, "I love you too…" he whispered back as he kissed her once again.

She happily returned the favor, until…

SLAM!

The both of them sat up. Megami at a quicker pace, Sasuke in an annoyed manner.

"Hey!—although I can't believe I'm actually saying this—would the two of you get the hell out of bed already?!" Ino yelled as she stood in her pajamas, beaming.

"Today is our first day back to school!"

"Ruff Ruff! Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff!"

"Aw come on Neko! You'll wake the neighbors!" Tenten said sternly as she lifted the puppy into her hands as he wagged his tail, his tongue sticking out.

"Aaaw! Who could ever be mad at you!" she cooed, hugging him.

"Good morning my himes!" Ino sang as she twirled into the kitchen.

"Good morning Ino" Hinata beamed as she stood at the stove, letting various flavored pancakes sizzle on the pan.

"Oh my gosh, I think I got like, five hours of sleep last night?" Sakura yawned as she walked in, seating herself at the table.

Megami hummed as she skipped into the kitchen from the entry room, having just let her boyfriend out.

"And surprisingly it wasn't because of this one" she sighed, pointing towards Megami who stopped and blushed.

Ino laughed as she sat up on the counter.

"You're so quiet in bed it's almost cute!" she teased.

"Hey Ten, why didn't you want Neji to spend the night? I mean we just got back, I'd think you guys had some business to take care of, but you sent him home like we did with the rest of them." Sakura frowned.

Tenten sat on the floor, smiling sheepishly as she looked at Neko in her lap.

Well at least she made it seem as if she was looking at Neko.

"I just wasn't in the mood for…you know."

Ino frowned as she stared at her.

"Sex? That's weird, you're usually so open with saying it, don't tell us you're pulling a Hinata!" Sakura questioned.

"Hey!" Hinata frowned as the girls giggled, she followed suit.

"Isn't this exciting guys?! We're back just in time for the final half of the semester! Which means we're almost done with high school! Forever !" Ino squealed.

"Now all that's left is finals" Sakura groaned.

"There's still the play" Megami beamed.

"And graduation preparation begins today" Hinata smiled sadly.

"Hey! Don't forget about prom!" Ino chanted.

"And even the Battle of the Bands. Ugh, this is too much, SLOW DOWN!" Tenten demanded, issuing a laugh from the girls.

Suddenly the phone rang, Ino hopped off the counter as she walked to pick it up.

"We even get new uniforms today! They're supposed to arrive this morning!" she squealed.

"That reminds me! Hey Mega, can you go check if the package is here?" Sakura asked.

The redhead saluted, "on it!"

Ino picked up the phone and smiled as she set it to her ear while the girls continued to discuss what was left in their senior year.

"Alpha residence!...oh hi daddy! How've you been?...Good me to! You'll never guess what—!...oh you did?...that's good I guess but what does—"

Silence.

"WHAT!" she shrieked, making the girls jump and forcing Megami to drop the large box just as she walked in.

"THAT IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR DAD! HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT US TO COVER EVERYTHING NOW?" she screamed.

"What?! No way never! Come on daddy you can't do this! I don't want to! This is beyond unfair! I hate it! NO! There is no way! I—"

They listened as the phone clicked to an end.

Ino gasped, then slammed the phone back and screamed in frustration.

"Ino! What the hell's the matter with you?" Tenten yelled.

"You'll never believe what my dad just told me!"

"Whatever it is I don't think you needed to throw a temper tantrum because of it." Sakura glared.

"Whatever! You guys know that meeting our parents have every month to discuss our issues right?"

"Yeah" the girls said in unison.

"Well they just had another one yesterday night and it turns out that just yesterday they finished paying off the house, our cars, and bikes."

"That's good" Hinata lightly shrugged. "Yeah, some of the payment was coming out of our trust funds anyways" Tenten growled.

"Yeah, but now they're done paying for everything! They said from now on we have to cover the bills and pay for everything ourselves!" she whined.

Tenten and Megami gasped sarcastically.

"I'm serious!" she frowned.

"Ino I don't see the problem here." Sakura sighed.

"Are you kidding me? Come on guys with gas bills, electricity, air conditioning, checkups, water, shopping! And all that other crap, we'll be paying at least two thousand a month!"

"Again, it's not such a big deal" Sakura said, "It's simple, we'll just get part time jobs like regular kids so we'll be able to pay for more than enough every month."

Ino leaned on the counter, her eyes bulging and her mouth hanging as she stared at Sakura.

"JOBS?! That's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard! We don't have time for that! Especially with everything coming up!"

"Oh relax it's only until the end of the school year! Then we'll be out of the house for the summer and on campus in the fall." Sakura shrugged.

"Ew, college" Megami grimaced.

Ino groaned as she slid down and onto the floor.

"Getting jobs could be nice, it would be fun to have something to do after school too like the guys do." Hinata smiled.

"This sucks…daddy even said he won't be paying for my baby anymore…I can't afford to keep my fucking car!" she cried.

"Get a new one," Tenten shrugged.

Ino crossed her arms in a huff.

"I hate this! I don't want to get a new car!"

Sakura rolled her eyes, "Look you can bitch and moan about this after school because that's when we're going for job applications. Right now we have to hurry up and get ready, it is the last semester" she sighed, glancing at the wall clock.

The girls—aside from a still wining Ino—nodded.

(^A.H^)

The roaring of the familiar motorcycle hit the ears of the Konoha high students once again. Some were shocked as it had been quiet for a full week and a few because they'd never heard it before.

But only one white and red motorcycle sped up the student driveway, spinning and twirling around continuously until a green Mercedes, a purple Lamborghini, and a light blue Porsche made its way in.

The driver of the motorcycle hopped off as they parked, and instead of pulling off their suit they jumped onto said motorcycle to the students shock.

"GUESS WHOSE BACK BITCHES?!" Megami yelled aloud through her helmet, pumping her fist in the air, quoting the words her boyfriend spoke the moment he saved her life.

She jumped off her bike as the girls stepped out, all wearing their new uniforms which consisted of a light red collar shirt with a required tan sleeveless sweater over it with a gold KH insignia on the upper left breast. Along with that came a pleated tan mini skirt and blood red Mary-Jane's. The dark red blazer and dark red panty hose that came with it were optional. Sakura wore the blazer, Hinata wore the panty hose.

"These are so much hotter than the last ones." Ino sighed happily as she strutted away from her car with her large black handbag on her left shoulder, Tenten slowly walking next to her as Megami zipped down.

She tossed her hair back, Tenten rolled her eyes in turn as Hinata and Sakura walked up.

"So no more racing?" Megami frowned as she stepped up next to Tenten.

She smiled sadly, "not right now…I'm just not feeling it. I think Neji'd like it better if I drove the car anyways."

Megami raised a brow, but nodded.

"Feels good to be back!" Sakura stretched as the girls began walking together as other students dressed in the same attire rushed into the building.

Hinata lifted her head from her bag and turned her head to the side towards the road when she heard the familiar music. She smiled softly when she saw a familiar but slightly different ride.

A now white stretch limousine slowly pulled up to the curve, forcing most of the kids still outside to stop and gawk.

They watched in silence as a man in a dark blue suit and driver's hat stepped out from the front seat and walked around to the side, opening one of the doors.

They awed at the five boys that stepped out of the sparkling white limo, all in a light red collar shirt with a required short sleeved tan sweater above it with a KH insignia in gold on the left upper chest, with tan khaki pants and dark red shining military shoes.

Naruto stepped out first, beaming with his hands in his pockets and a bright orange shoulder bag over his shoulders. Neji came out next, smirking with dark thin sunglasses covering his eyes with the blazer swung over his shoulder. Gaara followed suit, a clear expression across his face as he actually wore the blazer. Sasuke stepped out after with dark sunglasses as well with his hands in his pockets, a blank expression plastered on his pale face. Finally Shikamaru shrugged out, yawned and scratching the back of his head.

Dreamy sighs and squeals elated the outside from fangirls who were now finally able to stand in their presence again or for the first time.

As usual though, they paid no head.

Naruto's smile grew wider when he noticed dark midnight blue colored hair smiling at him.

"HINATA-CHAAAN!" he called, waving as he rushed over.

He picked her up, hardly to her surprise, and twirled her around a few times, kissing her as the boys made their way over, "Naruto-kun!"

"Heard you girls got a dog!" he beamed. she nodded simply.

"Hi boys" Sakura smiled, waving a bit, cheerily.

Gaara leaned down and kissed her softly, she giggled in turn as she pulled him back to steal another.

"You must really like that car if you're not racing today." Neji smirked as Tenten jumped as she'd been staring off into space.

She turned to her side and pulled a smile. "What can I say? I'm a Mercedes girl."

"Yeah I know it's only been an hour but—" Megami hopped up and wrapped her legs around Sasuke's waist, he calmly smirked at her.

They kissed heartily, pulling back after a few seconds.

"I really missed doing that." She smiled.

"Shika!" Ino yelled, forcing him to take a couple steps back in shock.

"You'll never believe what happened to me this morning!"

He sighed, "Do I really have to ask—?" "We have to get JOBS!" she cried.

Neji gasped dramatically, holding his heart. Tenten and Sakura rolled their eyes.

"What do you mean you guys have to get jobs?" Naruto asked in confusion.

"Did you burn down the house again?!" Sasuke yelled angrily, punching Megami upside the head.

"What?! No! And I didn't burn it down last time! So I set a few rooms on fire so I can play firefighter! Sue me!" she yelled back, holding the top of her head.

"Come on, we'll explain everything inside." Sakura sighed, shaking her head.

(^A.H^)

"That's awful! So your parents cut you guys off?" Naruto grimaced as they all walked into their familiar homeroom.

Sakura nodded, but before she could open her mouth Ino beat her too it. "Isn't it awful?! I can't even afford to keep my poor baby anymore!"

"You have to give up your car?" Shikamaru asked, Ino slowly nodded as she flopped on his lap, "The gas prices for her are insane, my daddy's been covering them all this time, there's no way I'm digging into my savings and inheritance to pay for her." she grumbled.

"Wow, so some things are more important than that car" Sakura smirked as she sat on Gaara's lap and leaned her head on his chest.

"Well of course they are!" Ino scoffed, "It's just, I don't want to see her go away." she said sadly.

"Maybe you guys don't have too! We could cover all the bills and everything if you want," Naruto offered hopefully.

Tenten waved her hand nonchalantly, "that's crazy, we can't ask you guys to do something like that, no matter how loaded you are..."

"It's cool! Really!" he beamed, jumping up. "Yeah, the record company pays for all our mansions anyways; it'll be like paying for a piece of candy." Sasuke said coolly while Megami sat in a separate seat, discussing the origin of cheese with Mr. Bear.

Sasuke shot her a glare.

"What do you mean all your mansions?" Tenten asked in confusion.

Neji smirked, "Well, we have a mansion similar to the one here in New York, Paris, London, L.A, Milan, Barcelona, Sydney, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Cairo—" "ALRIGHT alright we get it! You have a mansion in every major city in the world! Are we supposed to be impressed?" Tenten snapped.

He tsked, turning away, "Why do I even bother anymore…"

"Anyways, that's a great offer you guys but I think we're just gonna stick to getting jobs." Sakura smiled.

"We're going to take the afternoon to pick up and fill out applications."

"What a waste…" Ino mumbled coldly, crossing her arms and legs as Shikamaru toyed with her hair to calm her down.

"Alright, but we'd love to help you guys deal with this but we're booked as hell this week." Neji sighed.

"We didn't ask for your help." Tenten shrugged.

He ticked, trying to force a smile as he glared at her, "why you—"

"Cool it Neji" Naruto smiled.

"The only one…she's the only one who can talk to me like that…" he said through grinding teeth.

"What's got you guys so busy this week?" Sakura asked.

"Oh my gosh! On the way to school I passed by a mama turtle and a bunch of baby turtles! Hey if turtles lay eggs does it live in a shell in their turtle-lady-place?! Does it come out like that?! Where to the eggs come from?!" Megami yelled.

They silenced.

Sakura sighed.

Sasuke leaned down to his bag and pulled out a pack of crayons.

"Draw." He ordered. She nodded dumbly, pouring them out and proceeded to decorate her desk.

"Like I was SAYING." Sakura breathed.

"We're getting ready for a new album." Shikamaru proceeded to explain. "We've got twelve songs to record and five of those we're going to start shooting music videos for. We've also got a CD signing tomorrow and the announcement of the new album, then a charity ball on Wednesday. On Thursday we have an interview with some talk show host, from there we're going to the fourth HEBI studios in Osaka to talk to the director about this show we have to guest star and perform on then head back here to continue filming the music video, then on Friday we have a meeting with the studio."

The girls gawked at him.

"What?" he tsked.

"Must be nice to be you guys." Tenten smiled.

The boys smirked.

"T'was sarcasm you sexy bastards, learn it." She sang as she and the girls began to stand up as the bell rang to get to class.

"Least she called us sexy." Neji shrugged, mumbling to Gaara.

(^A.H^)

The students of class 429 were a bit shocked to receive no teacher twenty minutes into class, but it only helped them realize the reason why.

Exactly twenty minutes in, a spiky-white/gray haired man stepped into his classroom once again.

"Well, that was the longest honeymoon turned vacation I've ever gotten." Kakashi said calmly through his hospital mask as he stepped in front of his familiar desk.

"Kakashi-sensei!" "You're back!" "Hey it's Kakashi!" "No wonder we haven't done anything since the bell rang…"

"You'd think on his first day back he'd be on time." Sakura grumbled, Tenten nodded in agreement.

He sighed, looking around to his students.

They all seemed a bit antsy, to his surprise.

"So….did I miss much?"

(^A.H^)

As the rest of the day progressed on the school members faced new changes in that of Konoha high school.

Such as the lunchroom. The long tables had been replaced with tan oval ones. And though it was still in the process of being repainted, the entire school was going tan and red.

The gym uniforms colors had also been changed, while the mascot choice was apparently still under discussion. All sports uniform colors had been changed as well. Along with that came a couple new teachers, such as Mr. Obito Uchiha who would be a new history teacher and was also Sasuke's distant cousin, and Miss. Rin Nohara, a new heath occupations teacher.

And to add another little fact. The class discovered Kurenai was pregnant.

This little factor did not sit well with a certain brunette.

Even so, at the end of the day the girls like many other students let themselves out of Konoha high to go about their day. The boys having already left near the end of sixth hour.

"Did you guys hear?! They're thinking of bringing football back!" Megami beamed as she bounced happily.

"I wonder why Tsunade all of a sudden decided to change everything." Sakura said.

"She said that in light of recent events, she felt like Konoha high deserved a little makeover." Hinata smiled.

"All I know is that graduation meeting was beyond boring!" Tenten declared, her hands behind her head as they walked.

Ino shook, "This is all too much."

"Well anyway, right now all we need to worry about is how we're going to be paying off everything. So let's split up—" "Holy shit are we going on a mystery?!" Megami gasped.

The girls shot her a look.

"Hey Megami? I think that pink thing in your head is there for a reason. Try resorting to it from time to time okay?" Ino smiled sickingly to Megami's confusion.

"Let's split up and head to different places. We can meet back at the house in a couple hours, okay?" Sakura continued.

The girls nodded in agreement, waving to each other as they headed to their rides and went their separate ways.

"Are you guys sure you wanna do this? I mean the record company's only using this for promotion for the album, you don't have to do this." Kabuto sighed.

The boys looked at each other as they sat in the second writing part of the studio dressed in after school clothing, while workers were busy running around HEBI studios getting ready for recording.

"It's fine, we've all agreed that we're going to go through with this." Neji explained.

Kabuto chuckled, shaking his head as he picked up the papers laid out on one of the desks.

"You do realize if the girls find out about this you'll never see the light of day again, right?"

"We won't tell them" Naruto shrugged, "I'm not worried. If they find out I'm sure they'll understand why we're doing it but it's better they don't. And besides, the girls are so busy this week they won't notice us until they really need too." He smiled.

Kabuto chuckled softly, then sighed and lifted his head as he leaned on the desk.

"Alright…then let's get to it."

Sakura stalked through the busy streets of Konoha confidently with a folded newspaper in hand as she looked from store to store. She'd dropped Hinata off at the mall where she would search there and parked her car behind a salon so she could search the city.

She smiled when she noticed that there were a good amount of people hiring, so she and the girls had a pretty good chance of getting a job soon.

She sighed in relief when a HELP WANTED sign glistened in a small grocery store window.

She stepped in, letting the glass door chime as she let go.

"Can I help you?" an elderly woman smiled from the counter right next to the door facing the rest of the store where a few people were stalking around with baskets picking items.

"Hi" she smiled, holding her hand out. "My name's Sakura, I saw the help wanted sign in your window, I'm looking for a job." She explained as the woman shook her head.

"What a beautiful name. Of course sweetheart but you have to fill out an application, you aren't the first one to come into this store, a lovely blond girl about your age just came in her a few moments ago."

"That's fine, thank you" she still smiled as she picked up an application from the stands on the counter and holding it to her chest.

"I'll deliver it tomorrow" she announced as she turned to leave.

"Best of luck!" the woman called as the door chimed again as Sakura left to search again.

"Blond girl huh…" she thought out loud.

"I wonder if it's…"

"Woooow!" Megami's voice trailed as she stuck her face against the large glass case containing the large white spotted yellow snake. It stared back at her blankly, and whenever it hissed, she did.

"That's Nala, don't be frightened she's a real softie" the dark blond young man next to her explained as he watched in confusion at the red-head who hissed at his largest snake.

"You've got a lot of animals!" she chanted as she stood up straight, pointing around to the various cages and tanks with dogs, birds, lizards, cats, fish, snakes, and other animals that noisily filled the store.

He chuckled, "well I've got to, it is a pet store."

"Do you have any turtles?" she asked hopefully. He slightly frowned, "no sorry, I just sold my last one yesterday."

"Aw poo…" she frowned, hunching over.

"Have you got any pets?" he asked as he leaned on Nala's case.

"I have a puppy I share with my sisters, his name's Neko."

"Cat?" he asked in confusion, she nodded cheerily.

"That's an odd name for a dog…" he mumbled.

"So what can I help you with?" he continued, changing the subject.

"Oh!" she gasped, "I almost forgot!"

She bowed, to his slight surprise.

"My name's Megami! I was wondering if you had any job offers! I'm really in need of one!" she explained, lifting her head after.

He smirked, looking her over a few times, "actually I do, how old are you?"

"Seventeen, I'll be eighteen in a few weeks" she said plainly.

"Do you like working with animals?" "Boy do I!"

"That's good, come with me, I'll get you an application."

"Thank you!" she smiled as she skipped, following him to the back.

"You lost doll?"

Tenten glared furiously with her hands on her hips and her school bag on her shoulder as she stood in one of Konoha's car shops. The mid-twenties man before he gave her a heavily confused expression as he wiped his blackened hands on a rag.

"NO, I don't think I am. The sign outside says you're hiring, I was wondering if I could get a job." She snarked confidently.

He laughed a bit, she clenched her fists on her hips.

"Sorry babe but I don't think there's a job here you're really qualified to do. Why don't you try the salon down the street? I think they're hiring."

"Excuse me?" she snapped.

"This job's not for little girls" he shrugged plainly. She scoffed, "I'm pretty sure I know my way around a car."

"Is that so?" he raised a brow.

"I've fixed my own motorcycle countless times." She said proudly.

"You ride?" he said in slight surprise. She nodded confidently.

"Where's your bike?" he scoffed, looking past her to the glass windows showing the waiting cars outside.

"I'm using my car right now." She said dejectedly.

He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck with his left arm. "Look sweetheart I can't hire you until I'm sure you can tell the difference between a car nail and yours, I don't want you getting hurt—"

"Then I'll prove it!" she announced, grabbing the rag out of his hand.

She looked forward to the cars being worked on by other employees in the shop, then to an old beat up untouched one in a corner.

"That a 1985 Ford Focus?" she asked, pointing over to it.

He nodded, "how did you—?" "Looks pretty messed up." she continued.

"Yeah, none of the guys can find what's wrong with the engine, it won't start up for the life of me." he explained, shrugging.

She smirked, tossing the rag over her left shoulder then cracking her knuckles.

"Until now…"

Hinata sighed as she left the mall, having not had enough time to look for the hiring stores as there had been too many people, it made her to uncomfortable without the girls there especially when she's been hit on a ferry of times.

She held her bag close to her as she walked down the main streets of Konoha city. She gulped; she hated going places without the girls, especially one in the open when boys pried.

She sighed, wishing she at least had Naruto with her.

She clutched her school bag as she looked from store to restaurant as people walked in and out of various places.

Yet she seized at the sight in front of her. Stopping abruptly, Hinata watched as a young woman in a waitresses' uniform happily stepped out of the restaurant with a medium neon sign.

Help Wanted in read in bright blue colors as she set it on the window sill. Satisfied, she walked back in the restaurant marked named Ku Belle.

Hinata smiled softly, "A restaurant! This is perfect!"

Willing to put her cooking skills to work, she quickly walked towards the restaurant.

The place was bustling with people. The entire restaurant was painted red with golden swirling designs aligning the middle. Long tables sat in one section and smaller tables took up the rest.

The place smelled of honey-lavender. Hinata beamed when she sniffed in the air.

"Welcome to Ku Belle, how many?" a short blond waitress asked as she stepped in front of Hinata.

"Oh n-no! I-I was just wondering if you had any applications, the sign says your hiring." She said quickly.

"Oh that!" she smiled, "let me go see with the owner, we should have some applications, or maybe he'll just want to talk with you."

"Thank you" Hinata sighed in relief as the waitress began to turn away, "no problem!" she called as she walked off.

Hinata waited patiently by the door, looking around the restaurant once more and the people talking and enjoying themselves. She'd prefer working in the kitchen with food then rushing around delivering and washing dishes.

"Sir, this is—"

Hinata turned back when the waitress stopped in front of her with a middle-aged man next to her with a content expression his face. "Umm…" she mumbled, racking her brain to think of her name.

"Hinata!" she said hastily, "Hinata Hyuga sir" she bowed.

"Hyuga is it?" his deep voice said gruffly as Hinata lifted herself up to his smiling face through his blond beard.

"You must be some cook then."

Hinata smiled shyly, looking down and waving her feet. "Well, I-I just know my way around a kitchen that's all…"

"Don't be so modest! I'm sure you'll do just fine; we've been desperate for a new chef. It's fifteen dollars an hour, after school Monday through Saturday from three to ten, are you up for it?"

"That sounds perfect sir" Hinata beamed happily.

"Great, go ahead and fill out an application for a formality and bring it in tomorrow, I'm sure you can start then too."

"Thank you very much!"

"Ruma here will be your supervisor for the time being." He smiled as he pointed to the smiling waitress that had introduced her.

"I'm sure you'll do great! Welcome to Ku Belle!" she announced just as the swung open behind Hinata.

She watched as the owners face lit up to the person behind her.

"Sweetheart you're here!" "Hi dad." A familiar voice said boredly.

Hinata froze, it was all too familiar, she recognized the voice too well.

"Hinata, this is my daughter Suki, she'll be helping you along here as well."

The dark-haired girl slowly turned around to meet the smirking expression of the familiar blond who'd been so cold to her since she started at Konoha high, and hung out with the infamous Kitty.

And of course, her boyfriends vengeful ex-girlfriend.

Suki's eyes blandly spelled evil as she stared a fearful Hinata down as she still stood in her uniform, a dark red hand-bag dangling on her shoulder.

"Oh…this should be good."

(^A.H^)

Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata were the first to arrive home. As soon as they stepped out of their cars they began to talking.

The girls wondered why Tenten was covered in blotches of oil and reeked of gasoline and sweat, she laughed, saying she would explain it when Ino and Megami came back.

The girls let themselves in and waited until a few minutes later, the girls finally came home.

"Finally! We were waiting for you guys!" Tenten called as the girls walked in, Megami smiling, Ino annoyed.

Megami grimaced when she caught sight of her, "what are you covered in?"

"Oil, I applied for a job at a car shop. Can you believe they didn't think I would do any good because I'm a girl?" she snapped, "so I spent the afternoon fixing up an old car to prove it to them." She beamed confidently.

"So how did it turn out?" Sakura asked as they walked to the living room. "Pretty good, the owner told me to come by tomorrow with a filled application, and I just might get the job, how about you guys?" she smiled, looking around as the girls sat in a circle.

"I applied for a job at this pet shop! The guy says I'm perfect for the job! He wants me to come by with a filled application and start tomorrow" the red-head beamed.

"That's great Megami, Tenten" Hinata smiled. "What about you Hina?" Megami asked.

"I-I found a job at a restaurant called Ku Belle, the owners looking for a new cook, since they're really in need of one and he's familiar with me, he says I can start tomorrow."

"Wow! Nice Hina!" Sakura said, Hinata nodded, deciding to leave out the Suki issue for the time being.

"What about you guys?" Tenten asked, turning to Sakura and Ino.

"I found this grocery store called Mini-Mart." They said at the same time.

The girls turned to each other in confusion.

Ino scoffed, "Well the one I went to is run by this little old lady, it's in between Namo insurance and—" "and Danna's bakery!" Sakura gasped.

"Oh boy…" Tenten sighed.

"You can't work there! It took me all afternoon to find a place that would be decent to work at!" Ino protested. "Hey she hasn't hired anyone yet! I wanna work there just as bad!" Sakura yelled back defensively.

"Oh please why would she hire you over me forehead!" Ino spat

"Are you kidding?! At least I'd actually do the work PIG!" Sakura growled

"Watch who you're talking to!" "I know what I'm talking to! A pig! Ino-pig!"

"Wanna fight billboard brow?!" "Bring it on!"

"G-girls! Please calm down!" Hinata pleaded as Tenten held Ino back and Megami held Sakura.

"I'm sure if you talk to the woman she can work something out. You both could even work there." Hinata reassured.

Ino forcefully pulled out of Tenten's grip and huffed, "fine, whatever. It's been a crap filled afternoon; I'm going to go call Shika. I still have to go and find a new car tomorrow…" she grumbled.

"I'm heading upstairs too" Tenten shrugged and she turned and followed Ino out towards the stairs.

"Hey…Ten…" Ino whispered as they slowly walked up the steps.

"Do you really think it's a good idea to be working at a place like that? I mean with all those fumes and everything, you could even get hurt—" "It's okay Ino" Tenten smiled sadly.

"Doctor Hana says it's okay, since I'm only two months in it won't be doing any damage, I'll be safe I promise."

Ino sighed in relief, "and another thing, when are you going to tell the rest of the girls? We already lied to Hinata and Sakura when you told them it had been a false alarm and Megami was in too much shock to remember you said it, you can't hide this forever, especially from Neji."

"Please give me a little more time Ino" she sighed as they stopped at the top.

"I've got a pretty good idea how I'm going to do this…"

Sakura crossed her arms and huffed, flopping onto the couch as Megami and Hinata sat down across from her, Megami picked up the remote from the floor and turned on the TV.

"There's no way we'll survive working with just her and I if this is going to go on," she grumbled.

"Let's hope we get the jobs in the first place before we start worrying about stuff like that dattebane" Megami smiled as she flipped to SpongeBob.

Sakura sighed as she sunk lower into the couch.

"I wonder if the guys are doing any better than we are…"

The fleet of paparazzi engulfed the restaurant from the outside as the flashes focused on ten easily recognizable young, popular, attractive, famous teenagers.

Omega sat coolly, smiling and joking on one side while across sat the well known female pop group Stara who would be doing a collab in one of their upcoming music videos. All girls were sisters, quintets.

Restaurant goers watched in awe, gossiping and squealing, talking and whispering among themselves but none of them dared to walk up to them.

As if they could.

A newly suited Jim and Lin protected the ten at all costs, standing in front of their table in white suits and white rimmed sunglasses.

One member of STARA couldn't help but laugh out loud at the recent comment Naruto made; she tossed her bright purple hair back, all girls well known for their signature hair colors to help tell them apart since they were all identical.

"You guys are amazing! I can't wait to work with you!" Murasaki smiled.

"We think it's gonna be a lot of fun" another with bright blue hair, Ao said.

"Hopefully we could get to know you a little better before and after" another with pure gold hair named Kiiniro cooed.

"Sounds great, we really look forward to working with you girls, you seem like quite a lot of fun" Neji smirked, eying Kiiniro, who blushed in turn, not taking her eyes off him.

"When do you want us at the studio?" another with dark red hair named Aka asked.

"How about tomorrow after school?" Sasuke asked coolly. The girls were the same age as each member but attended a private high school in western Suna.

"Perfect, we'll have our manager call you and work out the details" the fifth with pure white hair, Shiro added.

"As for now why don't we order some dinner and talk a bit?" Kiiniro smiled.

"Fine with us" Naruto beamed.

As the guards moved aside to let the waiter come and take their orders Shikamaru felt a sudden buzz in his pant pocket.

He pulled out his phone to find Ino's smiling face from the convention and number and caller I.D blinking and begging to be unlocked and answered.

His expression remained platonic as he slipped the still vibrating phone back into his pant pocket.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Murasaki asked in a confused expression.

He shook his head as the boys ordered.

"It's nobody important."

(^A.H^)

Megami sat on her bike, her legs up on the seat as she sat with Mr. Bear on her head, sunglasses, and the new basketball uniform on, which was now red mid-thigh gym shorts with white lining and a tank top red jersey with KH on the chest in white.

The girls parked right next to her, stepping out in their own uniforms Tuesday morning. Ino, Sakura, and Hinata in the new cheerleading uniforms which consisted of a tight but slightly loose white rimmed red mini skirt and a long sleeved turtle neck white sweater that stopped at their breasts, revealing their stomachs, with KH in red on the chest. Tenten stood in the basketball uniform as well.

"Way to make them sluttier than they already were…" Sakura grumbled as she flung her shoulder back onto her left shoulder.

"Should we tell them we have a game after school?" Hinata asked as she wiggled uncomfortably.

"Who?" Tenten asked as she turned and locked her car.

"The owners, the man who owned the restaurant told me to come after school, I hope he doesn't mind if I'm a little late," she said fearfully.

"I'm sure they won't mind Hina" Sakura reassured, "It's only a couple hours."

"What kind of car do you think I should get?" Ino wondered randomly as they began walking together.

"Speaking of that, Ino I've been thinking" Megami boasted. "Ha! There's a first" Tenten mumbled, Sakura giggled in turn.

"Won't it cost more to replace your car then it will to take care of the one you already have?"

Ino glared at nothing, "Daddy's making me take out money from MY inheritance to pay for a new cheaper one that will be a lot easier to take of."

"I hope we get these jobs, I can't stand the thought of moving back in with my parents if we can afford to take care of the house" Tenten shivered. "Here here!" the girls chanted, laughing after as they walked into the building, oblivious of the whispering going around and the glances towards them.

Seconds later, a white stretch limo pulled into the side of the road as the black one normally did prior.

"Mooorrrnnniiinngg!" out popped a spiky blond haired boy from the opening in the roof.

He frowned when he found the lot only containing other students and fangirls. The girls cars and motorcycle were parked but they were nowhere in sight.

"Aw! The girls already went in!" he whined as the driver opened the door for the rest of the boys as he got out through opening.

"Wonder why they didn't wait…" Gaara questioned as Naruto fell on his feet in front of them.

"Come on! HINATA-CHAAN!" he called as he ran inside past students on the courtyard while the boys trailed behind.

(^A.H^)

"Wait until we whip Tora (tiger) ass today! Fuyu (winter) high won't know what hit'em!" Megami laughed as she ran the basketball she grabbed from the gym along the back of her arms onto her right index finger.

"Looks like for this game we're still going to be Dragons, Tsunade's taking the weekend to discuss a possible new mascot with the school board." Sakura smiled as Ino giggled, shuffling her pompoms with the few other senior cheerleaders in their class as they talked in their new uniforms.

"Let's make this a quick game and get the hell out of here!" Tenten chanted.

"Yeah! Sekushi-san's supposed to get a new shipping of hamsters today and I can't wait to see them!" Megami squealed as she tossed the ball up to the ceiling.

She waited for it to fall back down, only to here a PAT noise come from behind her. She looked up, to see the ceiling vacant of a basketball.

"And who is Sekushi princess?" a crude voice spat.

She twisted around and to no surprise faced the boys and her boyfriend, twirling her basketball on his left index finger.

"None of your business! Give that back!" she whined as she jumped for it, only for him to toss the ball around him, forcing her to circle him.

"Wow" Neji smirked as he took his seat next to Tenten who instantly took her hand off her stomach to smile up at him.

"Hi baby—" "love the new uniforms" he wolf whistled at Sakura, Ino, and the few other cheerleaders. The fangirls blushed and giggled, Sakura rolled her eyes and Ino glared at him, glancing to Tenten who'd turned away.

"Bastard…" Ino growled under her breath.

Sakura gasped when Gaara picked her up, bridal style to the fangirls distain.

"What are you doing?!" she yelled, blushing into her pompoms.

"Isn't this uniform a little too revealing?" he smirked, "hey I didn't design it!" she defended.

"Hands off the skirt!" she demanded, slapping his hand away from the rim of her mini skirt with her right pompom.

Hinata blushed, holding hers over her head as Naruto sat on top of her desk.

"Don't be shy Hinata-chan!" he beamed, "I think you look hot!"

She burned red, sinking deeper into her seat to his confusion.

"N-Naruto-kun…" she whimpered.

"Idiot" Neji growled, shaking his head.

"So, how's the job hunt coming?" Shikamaru sighed as Ino took her favorite seat on his lap.

She shrugged, shuffling her pompoms, "We've found some stuff, we're going to turn in our applications today, I tried calling you last night to talk about it but you didn't pick up." she pouted as she leaned into his lips.

"Sorry, I wasn't by my phone…" he mumbled as he captured her lips.

"You want the ball princess come and get it!" Sasuke taunted casually as he twisted the ball around to the chagrin of Megami.

She huffed; stopping in front of him, instead of trailing around for the ball she instead kneed him in his very own.

He grunted, dropping the basketball. She beamed and caught it mid-air. He choked as he held his male privates, falling to the floor.

Naruto laughed out loud as Megami stuck her tongue out victoriously.

(^A.H^)

"Are you guys coming to the game?" Tenten asked as the group sat around the new lunch tables along with the other soon to be graduates of Konoha high at lunch table.

Neji scratched the back of his head and sighed, "Aw you know we would but we have to get to the studio right after school, remember we still have a lot of recording, filming, and photo sessions to do."

"Then how is it you guys have time to go to school if you've got so much to do in such a short amount of time," Tenten scoffed.

"School comes first, Tsunade, Itachi, and our parent's rules." Sasuke shrugged.

Tenten huffed, "fine, I guess we don't have all that free time either, but at least we're close to getting jobs!" she said proudly.

"Good luck you guys! If today's your first day" Naruto beamed. "What are you boys up to today?" Hinata asked sweetly.

"Well we're seeing this-!" Neji slapped his hand over Naruto's mouth "We're going to Ame for an interview as a part of our schedule today, we'll probably be back late so you shouldn't call, it will be an interruption." He explained.

"Oh…kay" the girls said slowly together. Ino sighed, "I'm going up for a snack, coming?" she motioned to the girls.

"We'll be right back" Sakura nodded to then as they followed Ino to the school gantry.

"What was that all about?!" Naruto frowned.

"Dobe" Sasuke sighed, "we don't want them finding out…not yet anyways."

"How're you feeling Kurenai?" Megami beamed as the girls sat in front of her waiting for the final bell for fifth period.

Kurenai chuckled and held her stomach with her left hand. "I'm only two months in and I'm already nervous" she laughed.

"You wouldn't be the only one…" Tenten mumbled to herself.

"I should be due in December, I'm already excited!" she blushed.

"Aw! I wish I was pregnant!" Megami whined.

"Me too! I can't wait to have a baby!" Sakura squealed.

"It's exciting, to care for our own child" Hinata blushed.

The girls shot their heads around, staring daggers at the boys who stood behind them.

Sasuke, Gaara, and Naruto looked up at them from the boys.

"So not happening" Sasuke said dully.

"In order to get pregnant you need to actually have sex first" Gaara said stonily.

"I-I….u-um…I-I don't know H-Hina-chan…we haven't even…" Naruto said, scratching the back of his head nervously.

Ino glanced at Shikamaru who stared at her questionably. She scoffed, "are you kidding? Do you have any idea what stretch marks would do to me?!"

He sighed, turning back in relief.

Tenten didn't bother to open her mouth; she already knew how Neji felt about having a baby. Besides, he wasn't paying attention in the slightest bit, his focus remained on his watch.

"Come on, we've got to go" he announced as he stood up.

"Oh, right" Naruto started as he and the boys began to stand up.

"You're leaving early again?" Hinata frowned as the girls watched them just as the bell rang. "Yeah, like we said we're really busy in the studio this week. We'll see you girls tomorrow!" Naruto called happily as he and the boys began to take their leave.

"Those boys I swear, it's always something." Kurenai sighed. "When's the last time anyone of them took you girls on a date? Sheesh." She growled.

The girls blinked. She always tried to avoid their relationships as much as possible.

Must be the mood swings, they thought.

Although, those shouldn't be starting until later…

(^A.H^)

"KICK! ASS!" Megami yelled later as the final buzzer rang. Signaling Konoha high's win over Fuyu high school. The students of Konoha high sang the names of Queens that ruled their kingdom.

"It's official ladies and gentlemen! Konoha high has advanced to the finals! Next week Friday they face Suna high school for the championship!" the sophomore announcer girl called through the speakers.

"Great job girls!" Ino squealed as she shuffled her pompoms in accordance with the rest of the cheer squad.

"You're the best Miss. Ino! Miss. Sakura! Miss. Hinata!" one girl squealed.

"We wouldn't be anything without the senior leaders!" another freshman girl beamed.

"I want to be just like Miss. Ino when I become a senior!"

"You're a bad influence" Sakura rolled her eyes as the three of them began walking to the rest of the members of Alpha.

Ino tossed her hair back and scoffed, "oh please! Without my fashion sense those girls would look like...like...like Kitty!"

Hinata and Sakura laughed as they met up with a high-fiving Tenten and Megami.

"Nice game girls, but we've got no time to party. We should probably get to those places before we lose the opportunities to get the jobs." Sakura explained as they began walking.

Ino groaned, "I was hoping you forgot about that."

"Like it or not Ino-pig, we've got to get these jobs if we want to keep the house."

"We could just move in with the guys!" she offered.

The girls turned and shot her a look. "What?" she whined.

"You've had a lot of bad ideas but that has got to be the worst. I can't imagine moving in with them, especially if we break up..." Tenten explained.

Ino giggled, "What reason would be have for breaking up with them so soon?"

(^A.H^)

"We're so glad you boys could make it."

The boys looked up as they stepped out of the white limo to a woman dressed in a dark brown business suit with black heels, thin black rimmed glasses and glossy brown hair in a bun. A clipboard sat in her left arm with a waiting pen in the other, while Stara stood patiently waiting a few feet behind her.

"Hi boys!" Ao called cheerily waving.

"Good afternoon ladies." Itachi said dully as he stepped out of the front seat lastly, he crossed his arms and leaned in the limousine as he annoyingly watched his idiot 'clients' oh so obviously flirt with the opposite group.

"So we're under agreement? All the papers have been signed so the girls are very much willing to participate in the boys photo shoot and that video you wanted. Come to think of it Itachi, I still don't understand why you want to do the music video this way, it's a bit confusing." their manager frowned.

"Blame the boys Inabe, it was their idea. I don't get it either." he sighed.

"Right now, I'm just waiting for them to louse it up."

"Gracious! I hadn't realized the two of you knew each other." the old woman laughed as both Sakura and Ino stood in the grocery store in their cheerleading uniforms as they had been unable to return home to change.

"so which one of us gets the job if you don't mind me asking ma'am." Sakura said quickly.

"Me right?" Ino said, shooting her a look. Both girls glared each other down.

The woman cleared her throat, capturing their attention again. She raised both papers to her face, "well by the looks of your applications you both look equally qualified for this job."

"Seriously? You looked at the grades right?" Sakura frowned.

Ino glared at her.

The old woman chuckled, "I don't care for things like that. If you'd like I'm willing to hire the both of you girls you seem like you'd work great together. I'm really in need of the help." she smiled sadly.

Both girls sighed as glanced at each other.

"So what do you say ladies? Would you like the job? It's Monday through Saturday from three-thirty to nine-thirty for ten dollars an hour." she smiled.

"We'd love the job" Sakura smiled, answering for the both of them.

Ino crossed her arms and slightly sighed, "yeah."

"Perfect! You start now!"

"I was afraid you didn't want to come back." Sekushi chuckled as Megami poked at Nala's case again. The snake annoyingly stared back at her.

"Sekushi!" Megami beamed as she still stood in her basketball uniform as well.

"Sorry I know I said after school but I had a basketball game." she smiled as she turned to her backpack, digging through it.

"You play basketball?" he asked as she whipped out her application.

"Yep! Here you go!" she smiled as she thrusted it forward.

"Thanks" he said, taking it from her hand. "You're pretty interesting, are those tattoo's?" he said, shocked a bit.

She glanced to her right arm and down to her cleavage then back up to him again, "Yeah, I got them in the eighth grade."

"Really?" he asked as he skimmed her application. She nodded brightly, "so how do I look?"

He trailed his eyes to her as she waited patiently, bouncing on her heels.

"Front this point of view..." "what's that?"

He cleared his throat. "Looks pretty good to me. Welcome aboard Miss...Uzumaki?" he asked.

"Don't ask" she sighed, "but thank you!"

"How about a head start? It's Monday through Saturday from three-thirty to ten for twelve dollars an hour, how's that?"

"Perfect! Come on! I'm ready to work!"

"Funny, I thought you'd chickened out dollface." he smirked as Tenten walked back into the car shop. She scoffed, "I had a basketball game, you can't blow be off that easily, I did fix that car if you remember correctly." she smirked.

He eyed her and her uniform then glanced to her arm.

"Nice tat." "Same to you" she said back, pointing to the various tattoo's up and down his arms.

"Thanks" he lightly shrugged, then held his hand out, "name's Kao, I'm twenty-one. My uncle owns this shop; I'm just working here until I finish under grad school."

She smiled, "Tenten, I just turned eighteen, I'm about to graduate from Konoha high."

"I went there myself" he said as she handed him her application.

"Did you know that they've been building a Konoha University?"

"No, I didn't" she said a bit surprised. "Yeah," he said, looking down to the application.

"It's supposed to be ready this summer. I might change so I can go there."

"Sounds cool, I'm a little surprised you're actually making conversation with me. I got the impression that you didn't like me yesterday." she smiled.

He smirked as he clutched the application. "Just never had a chick around here babe, don't take it personal. Most of the honeys that come in here are either on the back of a motorcycle or lost."

She laughed sweetly, "well maybe it's time you had a girls touch."

He raised a brow, "Is that right? Well come on then sweetheart; show me how to do my job."

"Oh my gosh! Your uniform is super cute! I didn't know you went to Konoha high!" Ruma beamed as she and Hinata stood outside the kitchen. "Y-yes, t-thank you."

"Have you got the application?" she smiled cutely. "Oh! Yes!" Hinata said quickly as she turned to her bag and pulled out the application from the pocket it stuck out of.

"Awesome! Hold on a sec! Let me go check this out with the boss!"

with that she turned around and headed into the kitchen.

Hinata sighed to herself, still unsure if she even wanted this job with Suki lurking around like she did. Though luckily she had yet to see her.

She spoke to soon.

"Afternoon Hyuga."

She twisted around, there to face of course Suki with her hands on her hips in after school clothing. The smirk on her face indicated a seething evil as she stared Hinata down.

"h-hi Suki..." she whimpered. Sure she could fight for herself, but she wished the girls were her for moral support, they would have thrown her out the window by now.

"Isn't it so nice that you're going to be working at my daddy's restaurant from now on. You know I'm here almost always after school, I think we're going to have a lot of fun together."

"I-I don't have the job yet." she retorted with minimal confidence.

"Oh but daddy already likes you, he can't wait to hire you!" she beamed fakly.

But no second later did the smile on her face burn down to a glare.

She leaned into Hinata's ear and whispered words that shook her on the inside.

"Watch your back Hyuga, because I'm going to make your job here a living hell..."

"Congratulations Miss. Hyuga! You've got the job." Ruma chanted as she rushed out.

Suki quickly leaned back up and clapped a few times.

"Congratulations Hinata! You're going to have a lot of fun working here!"

(^A.H^)

At ten o'clock the five members of Alpha returned home after starting their respectable jobs.

Ino stood up straight and popped her back as she stepped out of her car. "Damn it! That old lady can work!" she growled.

"What were in all those boxes anyways?" Sakura yawned, scratching the back of her head as she stepped out of the front seat of hers. But then a groan left her lips as she came to realization. "Crap! I still have trig homework!"

Hinata stepped out of the other seat, rubbing her left hand with the other as she followed both girls to the door.

"I still have to finish that art project, damn. Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow." Ino yawned.

"Ino, isn't it due tomorrow?" Hinata frowned. Ino shrugged in return.

Tenten yawned as she stepped out of her car, "not much of a bad day. A lot of gasoline and work but not anything I can't handle."

Megami hopped off her bike, continuously scratching her forearm as she tried to take off her suit.

"What happened to you?" Sakura called. Megami laughed nervously, "Heh, Nala bit me."

"Who's Nala?" Tenten questioned as the girls walked up. "A snake, I'm just glad she's not poisonous, I probably shouldn't have been teasing her."

Sakura flung open the door and took her keys out. "Forget it, I'm pooped. I'm heading to bed. Maybe I can cram and do my homework tomorrow morning or in first period...I'm pretty sure I can get it done in first period..."

"Night!" the girls called as Sakura dragged herself upstairs.

"Hinata? Are you okay?" Ino frowned. Hinata jumped up and released her hand from the other. "O-of course! Why?"

"Well you keep rubbing your hand, did something happen at the restaurant?"

"Just a little burn, that's all, accidents happen." she laughed nervously.

A little burn Suki decided she deserved that is.

"Well, I'm turning in, how about you guys?"

"Yep!" Tenten and Megami called as the girls began their trail up the steps.

"Night all!" Ino called.

"Night!" both girls called, heading to their rooms.

Hinata frowned, her day had been hard especially with Suki there but she had spent an hour putting up a face just so she could come home and make dinner.

"Girls?! What about dinner?!"

(^A.H^)

"Oh my gosh, they are so hot!" "I know! Did you know they've gone out with almost every girl band or model in Japan? More than twice outside!"

"I know! They've had hundreds of girlfriends! What I would kill to be around their arms!"

"I took this survey last week around the school since the school years coming to an end. About every grades girls opinion to the boys. It's a simple fact. All freshmen want is their respect. All sophomores want is to hang out with them. All juniors want is to date them. And all seniors want is to fuck them. If they can get anything more out of that well they would have died and gone to heaven!"

Neji smirked at the freshman girls who whispered, they knew so much, yet so little.

"Today the eighth graders are supposed to be coming to check out the school and hang around with volunteers." Naruto explained as he looked around the campus as the boys walked to the building in their own clothing on Wednesday morning.

He frowned, "the girls didn't wait again."

Gaara lightly shrugged, "their cars are right there. They already went inside."

"But we always walk together!" Naruto whined.

"I wonder if they got the jobs. I didn't hear from them yesterday." Shikamaru questioned.

"We told them not to bother us remember?" Neji smirked.

"When are we supposed to do this thing anyways?" Naruto groaned.

"Saturday." Sasuke answered confidently.

"It all happens on Saturday."

Part of the class sat in a confused state as their queens sat on their desks, sleeping silently. Most days the mornings called for screaming and laughing each other, and hugging and kissing you-know-who.

But they were like babies, each in their respectable desks sleeping soundly.

Naruto flew the room door open and beamed, "Good morning g-!"

he stopped when he saw them, the seniors of the class went about their business, figuring the boys would take care of them.

"Why are they sleeping?" Naruto asked as the rest of the boys walked past him to get inside. Neji shrugged as he walked over and poked a Tenten who sat in a light green striped crop top with a black under shirt and green skinny jeans.

"Ten...hey Ten...Tenten...Tennie?" he whispered.

Nothing.

"TEN!" he yelled.

"IT'S A BOY!" she yelled as she jolted up. He raised a brow as he eyed her, rubbing her forehead, breathing heavily.

She turned and glared at him. "What the fuck did I say about waking me up like that you prick-!" "What's a boy?"

"Huh?" she said, confused. "You yelled 'it's a boy' what's a boy?"

She burned red as the rest of the girls began groaning their awakening.

"Nothing, just a weird dream."

Great. She thought. Usually she dreamt about sleeping with him, now she's dreaming about having his baby.

Things are getting worse and worse.

"What the hell?" Megami whined as she rubbed her eyes, Mr. bear following along. Sitting in a white tank top and red jean shorts with white leggings and red and white Adidas gym shoes. Sasuke leaned on her desk and ruffled her hair like a child, "Morning princess."

"Thanks for the wakeup call." Ino growled sarcastically as Shikamaru sat next to her. She sat in a black leather mini skirt with a neon yellow halter top and yellow high heels .

"What time is it?" Sakura yawned as she sat up in a soft pink tube top and hot pink capri pants. Gaara smiled slightly as he sat next to her. "Crap! My trig homework!" she gasped as she turned to her backpack. His smile diminished, "you didn't do your homework?"

"Oops, I didn't realize I'd fallen asleep." Hinata mumbled as she rose up to meet a smiling Naruto. She sat in a long floor touching flowery silk skirt with a light purple off the shoulder top.

"You look cute today Hinata-chan!" he smiled, kissing her cheek. Before she could answer she glanced to the door as it swung open, and there Kitty stood.

While the rest of the girls scoffed at their open relationship Suki stood and glared down at Hinata to an oblivious Naruto.

Hinata turned away and looked down to Naruto's confusion. "T-thank you...Naruto-kun..."

"What's got you guys so tired? You don't usually sleep in class." Neji questioned.

"Well for one thing there's no class to begin with and another is I didn't fall asleep to well last night." Tenten sighed.

"Yeah!" Ino chanted, "my back was killing me! Sakura and I started working at the grocery store and that old lady drove us like slaves! I slept like a pile of bricks were crushing my back...damn lady..." she grumbled.

"I got bit by a snake!" Megami smiled. Sasuke raised a brow, "and that's good because...?"

"Hey I never said she was venomous!" she yelled.

"So I take it you got the jobs?" Gaara asked coolly as he took the seat next to Sakura. She nodded in return, "first day was yesterday, it was tiring but it's nothing we can't handle. How was your trip?"

"Fine." The boys said dully, glancing at each other as they all tried to fight back smiles.

"How was the basketball game?" Naruto smiled. "We made it to the championships!" Megami yelled. "Awesome!" her sibling yelled back, high-fiving his elder sister.

"We face Suna next week, be there?" Tenten asked hopefully. Neji smiled and kissed her forehead, "of course."

"Need any help?" Gaara offered as for the first time Sakura crammed to do her homework. She quickly shook her head, "no thanks, it's my fault I couldn't finish it."

"I didn't get to go car searching yesterday either!" Ino sighed to Shikamaru as she examined her nails.

"What are you guys up to today?" Megami asked on Sasuke's lap. "Charity ball and CD signing." "I thought the CD signing was supposed to be yesterday." She frowned.

"Change of plans…" he said slowly, glancing at the rest of the band members.

She giggled a bit, "You know I'm surprised no one's noticed your tattoo yet."

"WHAT? SASUKE-KUN GOT A TATTOO?!" a random fangirl yelled.

"Oops" Megami said sheepishly as Sasuke casted a deathly glare on her.

Less than two minutes later Kakashi's senior English class was piling with fangirls who demanded to see the new found tattoo.

"I didn't even know he got a tattoo…" Naruto mumbled as the rest of the boys hid on the side. The others shrugged the same response.

The rest of the morning remained as such…

"-And here is the cafeteria. Right now we will be having lunch with the seniors since it's their time." A junior student explained as she led the eighth graders along.

"Huh?! Eating with seniors?" one eight grade girl gasped. "Why couldn't we have eaten with the freshman?" another male student called.

The junior girl laughed a bit, "we had to get into the tour first, sorry. Don't be intimidated, the seniors here are nice." She said.

The group of eighth graders watched as a couple senior girls walked past to get into the cafeteria.

"Pff, look Hanna, junior freshman." One whispered, the other giggled in return.

A few of the kids shuffled nervously as the girls pushed the doors open to walk in, revealing the blasting music and the loud and hyped seniors.

"That doesn't seem very friendly to me, it looks like they just walked into a club!" one girl whined.

"It will be fine, I—" they watched as the junior girl seized in place, looking down the hall.

Quickly she bowed to the children's confusion.

"So she was telling me that it didn't come in pink and I was like 'are you serious?' they have like twenty all in blue and gold but no pink?! I'm never shopping there again!" Ino whined as the girls walked down to the cafeteria.

"Ino, I literally have no idea what you're talking about, I don't even know what product you're talking about." Tenten sighed as they began to pass the gawking students.

"Morning Ino-sempai, Tenten-sempai, Hinata-sempai, Megami-sempai, Sakura-sempai." She greeted.

"Hey Oma!" the girls called happily waving as they walked into the cafeteria.

"Who…are they?" a boy sighed happily.

"Upperclassmen, with whom you will treat with respect!" Oma yelled strictly, alerting the kids. "I thought you said there was nothing to worry about!" another girl yelled.

"Not with them…" she grumbled.

She gasped, quickly bowing again.

A girl groaned, "oh what now!-" she twisted around, stopping almost instantly.

"Oh…my…god…"

"Did it hurt?" "Not really..." "I keep asking Hinata-chan if it hurt and she said it did! The tattoo artist almost gave her a tramp stamp because she kept moving!" Naruto yelled.

Sasuke sighed in annoyance as Neji followed behind, smirking as he walked forward. Shikamaru kept his hands behind his head and Gaara walked and read.

"For the last time it didn't!"

"Holy crap…so the rumors were true…" a girl whispered. "They really do go here…O…O…Ome…OMEGA!" she squealed along with many other girls.

The boys instantly turned to the ferry of young students who called their name. The young boys stood straight and tried to look toughed up, the girls fixated their hair and gawked and squealed.

"Oh…kids…" Neji sighed as the boys began to walk by.

"Morning Neji-sama, Naruto-sama, Sasuke-sama, Shikamaru-sama, Gaara-sama…" Oma said quickly.

"Hey." The boys called back as they walked into the busy lunchroom.

"Oh my gosh! No one told us that OMEGA goes here!" a girl squealed. "Yeah! This is amazing! I should have worn something cuter!"

"NONE of you are going anywhere near them understand?" Oma said dangerously as she turned to them.

The children quieted.

"The other group leaders should have warned their groups by now. It is Tsunade's strict orders that I keep you all away from them! Understand?"

"Yes Oma-sempai…" the children responded dejectedly.

"Good, come on, let's eat."

(^A.H^)

"I CANNOT believe we are eating in the SAME room as OMEGA!" one girl with auburn hair and pale skin squealed as she stood in line.

"It doesn't matter Nako!" her friend Gina with dark blond hair groaned, "we can't even go near them!"

"Still! Isn't this exciting?! I have never been to a concert or anything but I have all their CD's and posters and everything! Just being this close is so amazing it gives me goosebumps!" she squealed as they got out of line.

The girls turned around and sighed dreamily at where they saw the boys eating and talking with five other girls.

"I'd give anything just for an autograph Gina…" Nako sighed.

Gina glanced to the single long table reserved for visiting eight graders and to the mentors who sat with them. Most to all of the girls sat boredly and just kept glancing around looking for Omega's table.

"No one's paying attention right now, let's do it really quick!" Gina whispered.

"What?! Right now?" Nako gasped. "Didn't you just say you wanted any autograph?" "Y-yeah but! Look at them!"

Both girls turned back to the large oval table that filled ten.

"Oh my gosh! they're so hot!" Nako sighed. "Then let's get an autograph!" Gina smiled as she quickly pushed her forward.

"Wait Gina!"

"Ugh, how can you eat that junk? If you keep stuffing your face with ramen all the time you're going to get bloated Gami" Ino warned.

Megami lifted her face up from the cup of ramen and stared at her. She swallowed.

"Sasuke-kun says it all goes to my boobs." She said matter-factly.

The group glanced at Sasuke who turned and raised a brow, "what? Have you seen them?"

"Yes, we live together, we're all girls, there's no shame in walking around naked. But there is shame in hinting your sex life." Sakura answered without taking her eyes off her book, Gaara smiled and ruffled her hair a bit to her chagrin.

Neji perked up, "remind me to come over when you're having those kinds of parties. Matter of fact, I'll just drop by and see what I get." He smirked.

"Fucking pervert!" Tenten growled as she punched him upside the head. "Don't tell me you're just not noticing BABE!" he yelled back smirking and holding it.

"U-um…excuse me…"

The table quieted and turned their attention to the weak sounding voice that stood a few feet from Gaara and Naruto who sat across each other.

"Hey! You're one of those eight graders!" Naruto smiled, pointing to her.

Nako blushed and looked down, clutching the pink little notebook in her hand. Gina stood behind her, peeking over her shoulder.

"Two of those eight graders" he laughed, scratching the back of his head, then smiled. "What can we do you for?"

Her blush deepened.

"Oh boy…I get the feeling…" Tenten sighed.

"H-h-hi m-m-my n-name is Neka-I mean Nako!...and this is Gina..c-could we p-please have your a-autographs…?" she said, barely above a whisper as she held up the notebook shakily.

Naruto beamed, "of course! Anything for a fan!" he said sweetly. Nako raised her head up and gawked at them, then looked away.

Naruto opened the notebook and signed it with a few choice notes as well, then passed it along to Gaara.

"You excited about coming to Konoha high?" Gaara asked as he passed it to Neji.

"O-oh yes! Very! B-but a little nervous…" she said.

"No one's been that welcoming…" Gina said as she raised her own little green notebook up. Naruto gently took it from her hand and smiled at her, she looked back down.

"Don't be nervous. The people here are actually pretty nice, they just like to make the new kids feel inferior but when you start going here they'll lay off." Sasuke explained as he signed Nako's.

"R-really?" she asked hopefully. Neji nodded as Gaara handed him Gina's.

"If you're worried about friend base. Stick with the one's you've got but don't be afraid to meet new people, join a club or a sport, it's easier that way." He explained.

"Just promise you won't come here and try to act all cool and be something you haven't been in the last ten years you've been in school, then you won't do so well. A lot of people here are bad influences, we've had our share of them, don't be afraid to be you." Shikamaru continued as Sasuke handed him Nako's.

Both girls nodded firmly. "Yes sirs!"

"You can call us by our names" Sasuke said, "no suffix's needed either."

Naruto took both of the finished notebook's and handed them back to each girl, ruffling Nako's hair in turn. She blushed deeply.

"Here," Neji said, turning to his backpack. He bent forward and unzipped a pocket, ruffled a bit them pulled a few things out and stood up straight.

"Here's a couple passes to HEBI studio's, stop by and visit if you'd like but bring your parents."

"Oh wow!" Gina beamed, stepping out from behind Nako and taking the visitors passes.

"Thank you so SO much!"

"No problem," he smiled.

"Anything else you girls would like? Merchandise? Concert tickets? CD's? Pictures?" Naruto shrugged.

"A-actually…um…there is…um…I-I was wondering…" Nako said, twiddling her fingers, "If N-Naruto-kun…if you could…um…because I see you do it to other girls during concerts…a k..a kis-"

Naruto bent down and kissed her on the cheek. Nako burned red as he backed up, smiling wildly.

She fainted, falling into Gina's arms.

"Thank you so much!" she said happily as she began to scoot away with her.

"By the way! Your girlfriends are really pretty!" she called as she dragged her to their table who had been gawking the whole time. Instantly the girls began crowding them and trying to wake Nako up.

When all was done the boys turned back straight to face their shocked girlfriends.

"What?" they said together.

"Oh…my…gosh" Ino said, her smile widening. "You were actually nice!"

"Yeah! I thought you hated fangirls!" Tenten tested, smacking Neji on the arm.

"We love are fans, we wouldn't be here without them. There isn't a damn thing we wouldn't do to make them happy." He answered.

"Besides, they haven't turned into crazy obsessed teenage bitches…yet."

"Aaaw!" the girls beamed, hugging them to their confusion.

"That was very sweet Naruto-kun…" Hinata smiled.

"Doing this is so much better though…" he mumbled, then kissed her.

But as soon as he did he quickly released and looked at his watch. "Oops! Got to go! Come on guys! Later sweetie!"

"What? You guys are leaving again?" Megami frowned as Sasuke stood up.

"Yeah…" he said, kissing her forehead.

"Why?" Tenten huffed, crossing her arms as Neji stood.

"Business baby…" he mumbled, taking her chin in two fingers and kissing her.

"Oh yeah, work week," Sakura frowned.

Gaara smiled sadly and leaned down and kissed her, "sorry..."

"Have fun at work!" Naruto chanted as they began to take their leave.

The girls sullenly waved back as they quickly left.

"Geez I thought they were actually going to leave with us today." Tenten growled.

"They're busy, girls, let's not bother them…" Hinata smiled.

The girls nodded and or sighed, continuing about their lunch.

"Afternoon girls!" Kurenai beamed.

"Hi Kurenai-sensei," they said together as the five of them walked into class.

"How was the check up?" Sakura asked as they took their usual seats in front.

Kurenai smiled, "good good, still some morning sickness but good all the same." She sighed and held her stomach. "I just wish it would finish growing already so I can have him or her in my arms!"

Ino glanced at Tenten who paid no attention as she got out her notebook. She sighed in relief as she turned back to Kurenai.

"So, where are the boys? Off on another adventure?"

The girls nodded, "I thought Tsunade strictly ordered that school days were first," she frowned as more students came in.

"Yes but if they come for half there's no problem," Sakura explained. "Well that's no good, I would be coming all day for good measure, you're all graduating in a month or so, don't you think it's a good idea to spend every day you've got left of school like your last?"

"Well they've got 'superstar' stuff to do, we don't want to intrude." Ino sighed.

"Well they'd better be here tomorrow, we're having a free day, I'd love it if you and the boys performed something," Kurenai smiled.

"We'll talk to them, don't worry Kurenai-sensei." Tenten said as she looked up.

The bell rang, signaling everyone to their seats.

"I trust you girls, I wouldn't have partnered you up with those fools if I didn't think you'd keep them in place," she laughed, stepping away.

"Afternoon everyone! Now for today we're going to be working on—"

A sudden knock stopped Kurenai in place.

"Come in!" she called.

Instantly the door turned and flew open, there stood Oda and the students she had been caretaking.

"Hi Kurenai-sensei" Oda smiled as she stood in front of the gawking children.

"Oh! That's right, class today the eight graders from Konoha middle school will be spending the period with us, please make them feel comfortable."

"Yes Kurenai-sensei" the class answered simultaneously.

"You lot can come on in!" she called, "don't be shy!"

One by one the students walked in, taking out and sitting in the many extra chairs aligned against the wall.

"Hey! You're those girls that were sitting next to Omega!"

The five members of Alpha turned their attention to the front, there to face the same eight grade girl who'd asked for an autograph, Nako.

"Y-yes" Hinata said. "Why?"

"We're dating them," Tenten answered.

"Really? What's that like?! Do you get to hang out with them? play with them? kiss them?!" she beamed.

Tenten smirked, "oh honey, we do more than kiss the-"

Sakura elbowed her in the back of the head, "Ignore her."

"Nako! Leave those girls be!" Kurenai called over. Nako frowned and turned to her, "yes Kurenai-sensei…"

"Huh?" Megami said, raising a brow, "you know her?"

Kurenai smiled and sat on the stage, "why of course, Nako, Gina and a few other girls in this group are in the dance class I run every week day evening. It's for girls fourteen years and younger."

"Yeah! We just started but Kurenai said that we're going to learn lots of stuff like tango, ballet, hip-hop, salsa, belly, and expression!" Nako beamed.

"What's expression?" a random female student called out.

"It's another way for saying free for all" Sakura answered, "you teach the person how to express themselves through the means of any dance they please no matter what song is playing, even if one isn't."

"Precisely! Now take your seats everyone I'd like to get started!" Kurenai called.

The students settled, focusing their attention on the pregnant teacher as the period progressed on.

(^A.H^)

"Hurry up Ino-pig or we're gonna be late for work!" Sakura growled as the girls stood lastly in the locker room. "Hold your freaking horses forehead this uniform isn't doing me justice!" Ino snapped from the other side of the locker room.

"This is awesome! I've never had a uniform before!" Megami yelled as she pulled the yellow polo down her head, which followed along with the white mini skirt and flats.

"What do you wear four days a week Gami?" Tenten asked, rolling her eyes as she pulled up the loose black jeans along with the white tank top and black and white gym shoes.

"I think it's still fun, I feel responsible with a job" Hinata smiled, buttoning the white chef's jacket along with pure white pants and shoes.

"Would like it a lot better if I didn't have to match with the pig…" Sakura growled, a light brown short polo dress with her name tag on the left below her shoulder.

"Trust me forehead, this is no picnic for me either." Ino snapped, stepping out as the girls readied themselves to leave.

"By the way" she continued as they walked out of the emptying school, "I'm leaving work a little early today to go look at cars, cover for me?" she said hopefully to Sakura.

"What! It's barely the second day!" Sakura protested. "I know I know but if I don't pick a new one under 25,000 soon I won't have a car at all! Daddy's coming for her this weekend," Ino sighed.

"Fine" Sakura growled, "but you owe me!"

"See you chicks later" Tenten laughed as she waved, meeting her Mercedes.

"Bye!" Megami waved, sliding onto her motorcycle.

"Hinata, do you mind taking my car? I know you don't like driving on your own but I think it would be better if Ino and I carpooled from now on" Sakura smiled sadly.

Hinata frowned a bit, but nodded, "I-It's okay, I don't mind. I'll see you girls later then" she said as Sakura tossed her the keys.

"TURLTEEEEELS!" Megami cried as she sped out of the school parking lot, the girls following behind but each going separate directions, onward to work.

"I like it I like it…" Orochimaru hissed as the music continued on. As the words picked up again he crossed his arms and stared at the recording equipment as Kabuto stood right next to him, a clipboard and paper and pencil ready in hand.

The boys sat back, Naruto twirling around in a chair as they listened for his response to the third song on the new album.

His blank expression turned into a sneaky and creepy smile, to the boys annoyance.

"I love it, what do you call it? Who wrote it?"

"Shikamaru wrote this one," Naruto answered, stopping next to the boys.

"Hitchhiking," Shikamaru sighed.

"Excellent, you boys are making good progress. Go ahead and get yourselves ready for the CD signing, we have a lot to get too, today's recording session is done." With that, he exited, Kabuto following closely behind.

When the door closed shut the boys stood up to gather their things so they could head for the CD signing.

"So we're not meeting the girls today?" Naruto asked a he picked up his bag.

Neji shook his head, "tomorrow, when we're going to work on the music video. We have to get it working with them."

"So does that mean—" "yeah, we need to get the girls mind off work so we can use them." Gaara answered, cutting Shikamaru off.

The boys smirked at each other, with everything said; they took their leave from HEBI studios.

"Hinata! How are those orders coming?!"

"I-I'm working on it! Just another second!"

Hinata took a deep breath as she ran back and forth from pot and pan. Seeing as the other workers took her family history into consideration, they found it necessary that she take care of most of the work.

Or better yet, a certain blond let most of them know that it was alright.

But the Hyuga heir had it handled. She exhaustingly whipped out plate from plate then got to working on other, seeing as it was afternoon rush hour, breaks were a thing of the past.

Mid-way, with a minute to spare as orders were still being written she sat down on a kitchen chair and wiped her forehead, breathing heavily.

She pulled out her phone and checked for miscalled.

Nothing.

She sighed, she'd been hoping Naruto had called to check on her as he always did randomly a couple hours after school. But there's been nothing of the sort since they got back.

"Aaaw, nothing? Must not want to deal with a kitchen help. Maybe I should let you know that Naruto-kun isn't into working girls, it takes away from the relationship."

Hinata cringed and slipped her phone back into her chef jacket pocket.

Suki stood behind her, tapping her hot pink stiletto with her hands on her hips.

"Can I please help you Suki?" Hinata spoke without turning around to face her.

"Actually you can. Your pace is getting slow and I don't tolerate breaks. Either get moving now or I'll have my father fire you."

Hinata stood up abruptly and twisted around, her dark hair flying up as she glared at Suki.

"He'd have no reason to do that. I'm ten times the worker you are, maybe if those shoes you squeeze yourself in didn't cut off blood circulation you would understand that." She snapped then instantly gasped.

Oh god, she thought. The girls were finally rubbing off on her.

Suki raised a brow, but remained calm.

Hinata looked down.

"Is that so? Hm." She said smoothly as she turned to her side and picked up a fresh clean dish.

"Well daddy's got one reason to fire you that's for sure."

"W-what's that?" Hinata asked in a confused manner.

"You've broken way too many dishes. Clumsy clumsy Hinata." She sighed.

"What?! But I haven't—"

Suki let go and the dish crashed to the floor.

Hinata watched in horror as she picked up some more and threw them on the ground, letting them crash continuously until all the clean plates were in pieces on the floor.

"DADDY! OH DADDY YOU'VE GOT TO COME QUICK!" she practically screamed.

"Y-you wouldn't!" Hinata gasped. Suki turned and smirked at her as the owner burst through the door.

Before he could even respond to Suki whose expression turned to a hurt and innocent one.

"What the hell happened here?!" he demanded as a few workers came up behind him.

"Daddy I just walked in here and saw Hinata smashing all the plates like she was insane! I got so scared I tried to stop her but I couldn't! Look what she did to all the dishes!" she whined.

Hinata looked fearfully from her to the owner who stared Hinata down.

"Sir I swear I didn't do it! She's lying!" she said quickly. "I didn't—"

"Miss. Hyuga. I don't' understand yours reasons for doing something as unprofessional as this seeing as you've been doing so well all day. So….I'm…I'm going to let you off on a warning because of those reasons. Next time something like this occurs again I'll have to fire you. Do you understand." He said sternly.

"Y-yes sir…" Hinata whimpered, looking down, knowing he wouldn't take her word over his own daughters.

"Good…now clean this mess up and get back to work."

She slowly nodded as she walked towards the supply closet while he began to leave.

Suki followed behind. When she was at the door Hinata looked up at her.

Suki smirked devilishly back, winking as she left, slamming the door behind her.

"Which one of you is good at inventory?" the old woman asked.

Sakura proudly lifted her hand as Ino scoffed and turned.

"Alright Sakura, go set up the boxes that just arrived. Ino, you're on cashier duty."

Ino smirked and turned to Sakura who huffed and crossed her arms.

"Ms. Kotobuki, I think I could use some help with inventory. I'll show Ino the roots." She smiled.

"Nonsense Sakura I'm sure you can handle it. Besides, I need to head out and someone has to man the register." She smiled as she picked her bag off the counter while costumers lulled around.

"I'll see you girls in a bit!" she called as she headed out.

Sakura glared at Ino laughed out loud. "Nice try forehead! Nyaaa!" she mocked with her tongue stuck out.

Sakura watched at the blond took her place behind the counter and casually sat down to relax. Sakura turned her attention to the window where she found Ms. Kotobuki hanging up a sign then taking her leave, humming as she walked down the street.

From inside Sakura noticed the words, backwards from her head.

TODAY'S SALE:40% OFF ALL ITEMS ABOVE 100 YEN

It didn't take long for a ferry of people to come into the small shop, mostly woman and children.

Ino quickly sat up abruptly and looked at the people.

"Hey! What's going on!" she demanded.

"Customers," Sakura said proudly as she headed towards the back.

"Handle them."

"Huh?! Wait! Sakura! You know I suck at math! You still have to cover me! Sakura! Sakura!" she called desperately.

Sakura chuckled as she began to make her way to the back room, until her phone suddenly began buzzing.

She pulled it out as she continued walking.

"Hello?...Oh! Doctor Hana! Hi!"

"Still nothing?" "I'm afraid not Megami." "I guess I'm not as good with animals as I thought I was." She laughed sheepishly as she sat with her leg up.

Upon trying to feed the lizards in the glass cases her clumsiness took effect again. Tripping after the lizard refused the food she crashed with the floor along with the case. Managed to get the lizard to escape and caught glass in her feet and cuts on her face.

"Are you sure your okay?" Sekushi asked, looking up at her with puppy eyes.

"I'm fine really" she smiled. "Animals are a lot harder to take care of then I excepted. And don't worry! I'll pay for the case right away…and find the lizard."

"Aw don't worry about it accidents happen. I just—" "Ow!" she cried.

He chuckled, "heh, found it."

She whimpered as he tugged out the last piece of glass with the nail clippers. When she removed, she sighed in relief and rubbed her foot.

"Can you stand?" he asked as he himself stood. She nodded as she quickly stood up.

"It doesn't hurt much, I feel find. Thanks Sekushi!" she beamed.

"It's no problem, really. I just don't want you to get hurt Mega…"

"Thanks" she smiled.

"You're a very pretty girl…"

Megami raised a brow.

"Um…thank you…?"

"I mean very pretty…"

"I got you…"

He leaned on the counter, then picked up a slice of her blood red hair. She glared up at him without moving.

"Have you got a boyfriend Mega?" "For your information I do."

"Is that right?"

She nodded, slapping his hand away.

"Whoa what's the problem? It's just a question," he chuckled.

"It was making me uncomfortable," she grumbled, looking down and clutching her fists.

"Really…?"

She nodded.

He trailed his left hand down her right arm. She remained still.

"How about this…?"

"Yes…"

"And this…?" he whispered, running the same hand back down her back.

"Please stop…" she whispered.

"You're not answering my question…" he chuckled.

He trailed both hands down to her bottom. She turned away when he nuzzled into her neck.

Glaring furiously she forcibly pushed him. "GET OFF!" she yelled as he stumbled back.

"You're insane! Is this why you hired me?!" she yelled as she rushed to the back and grabbed her bag.

"I'm out of here!"

"Hold it! I thought you needed a job Mega…it's going to be a hell of a lot harder to get one once I'm done writing up your report…besides…I thought you needed to help your friends?"

She froze, standing with her hand on the door knob of the glass door.

"That's what I thought…now…come here…" he said, waving his index finger.

Without a word she turned around, her head down as she walked back to him.

"You and I…" he mumbled, his right hand on her neck as his left hand trailed down her thigh, she whimpered.

"Are going to have so much fun together…"

She was relieved when the door chimed. He let go as a few people walked in.

Luckily the day became busy. Or else things would have gotten worse…

"Kick-ass."

Tenten sighed and smiled as she wiped the grease off her forehead. "Right?"

"Did I teach you something new?" she smirked as she came out from under the car. "Don't get so cocky baby-doll; I've been doing this since I could count." Kao smirked.

"Oh please!" Tenten scoffed as she stood up, "I held a wrench before I knew how to suck from the bottle." She shot back.

Kao held his hands up in defense, "alright sweetheart you got me there."

Tenten laughed heartfully and took a deep breath. She looked around, so far today she'd worked on eight cars, two with Kao. Often during these times her stomach would make odd noises and feelings but she refused to touch it, otherwise she'd feel the small hardness in the middle that was beginning to grow.

"Are you alright?"

She shot her head up to find Kao looking down to her as he wiped his hands with a rag.

She shook her head and dropped it again.

"It's nothing…just tired that's all…"

"Is there something wrong with your stomach? It's seemed to be your fascination since you started here."

She laughed nervously, "it's fine, that's all!" she reassured.

His expression turned blank as he tossed her the rag and began walking.

"You know…pregnant girls really shouldn't be working in a place like this. It's dangerous…why don't you take the rest of the night off?" he whispered.

Her eyes widened as she twisted around to face him, while he smirked.

"H-how—"

"I have a friend who's in the same position you are. I could tell the moment you walked in here, babe."

She turned her head back around, "I'll let you know right now! I'm not some charity case! I only need this job so I can help pay off the house I live in with my best friends!" she said firmly.

"One night stand?"

"No."

"Guy run off?"

"No…"

"Does he take care of you?"

"Yes…?"

"Parents know?"

"No…"

"Friends?"

"Only one…"

He sighed, then ran his hand through his dark hair.

"So let me see if I got this right. Your boyfriend got you pregnant by accident but you know that he doesn't want a child in any sort of way. You're afraid to tell him or turn to anyone else besides the friend who accidently found out. Your parents will have your head if they find out and he might leave you if he does. And oh, he hasn't done the 'I love you' bomb has he? And if you tell him now he'll stay with you for all the wrong reasons?"

Tenten blinked as a few of the others workers began to clear out for breaks or finished shifts.

Kao smirked.

"Wow…" "That's what I thought…come on, let's talk."

Tenten smiled sadly.

"I'd really like that…"

(^A.H^)

The next day Alpha trudged to school once again. After returning home not one of them spoke a word to each other, as they found themselves on themselves collapsed on the floor before they could even make it to the steps.

Ino yawned, "Well, at least I finally found the kind of car I want."

"Good for fucking you." Sakura growled, "but do you have any idea how hard it was to cover for you in the second day? You owe me way to much."

"Aw come on! You're getting my part of the paycheck for that day anyways! Isn't that owing enough?!" Ino groaned. "Absolutely not."

"What kind of car did you decide on Ino?" Hinata asked, lightly scratching the red burn marks on her hands on account of an accidental gas leak from yours truly.

"That! Is a surprise!" she smiled, "it's coming in tomorrow night, then daddy's coming my for princess Saturday morning." She sighed then shook her head, "but! Oh well!"

"I wish we had an alternative to working at these places," Megami growled.

"What's wrong Mega?" Sakura asked.

"Y-yes, I thought you liked your job" Hinata frowned.

Megami secretively clenched her fists and turned her head. "There's no…there's no turtles…so I'm not really digging it."

Tenten rolled her eyes, "that all? I actually pretty much like my job. Not too bad, nice people and the pay is good."

"I still wish you would change it. Who knows what could happen to your-!"

"shush!" Tenten snapped, covering Ino's mouth.

The girls stood at the front steps of Konoha high. While other students moved passed them, bowing and waving to the upperclassmen, the girls raised their brow as Tenten let go of Ino.

"Her what?" Sakura asked.

"Um…ur…HAIR! Her hair! Who knows what could happen to her hair! What with all that gasoline and everything!" Ino laughed.

Sakura and Hinata remained stone, Megami smiled and nodded in understanding.

"Right…speaking of you, Tenten that is—" Sakura continued as they started up the building again. "I was wondering if we could talk for a second."

"About what?" Tenten asked nervously.

Sakura rubbed her arm and looked away, "I-It's…a little personal."

"I thought we agreed that whatever one girl has to say she says it to the whole group. That's our pact remember?" Megami frowned.

"Of course I'm going to. But right now I have to carefully explain it to Tenten."

"We understand. Come on girls." Hinata smiled as she led Ino and Megami on into the building.

Sakura turned back to Tenten who stared at her.

"Got a minute?"

(^A.H^)

Both girls leaned against the bricked left side of the building; Sakura stared up at the sky while Tenten kept her head down.

"So…what's this personal—"

"by personal you know for a fact I didn't mean me." Sakura said simply.

"The doctors at one of my father's hospitals here have been telling me about your recent visits over there and asking me how you and the growth are doing."

Tenten groaned, lifting her head up, "I knew I should have gone to a different hospital."

"You know damn well my family's is the only one for miles."

The girls remained silent for a moment.

"Ten…" Sakura sighed, taking a shaky breath. "Why…why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

"I…I don't know…" she whispered.

"Did you tell anyone?"

"Yes…Ino…and my boss."

"Really…your boss?...not your best friends…not Neji?"

"He can't find out!" she yelled, "at least…not yet…" she murmured.

"Sakura, promise me you'll leave this between you and Ino." She pleaded.

"What about Hinata and Megami? They'll be heartbroken if they find out you hid something, especially something this BIG, from them! And your parents! Even the school board has to know for mandatory reasons! You could get hurt! you could—!"

She seized and leaned back when Tenten burst into tears. She balled her right hand into a fist and bit down on it.

"I was the one stupid enough to get pregnant!" She cried. "I should have known the consequences...Sakura! Please, I can't do this alone. There's so much on my mind that I can't take it! I don't want this responsibility right now! I just want a few more good years of freedom but now…" she cried harder, and instantly Sakura stood by her side and lightly shushed her, hugging her.

She leaned Tenten's head onto her chest as she slid the both of them onto the grass.

"Shuush…don't cry Ten…I'm here for you…no matter what we'll all help you through this…"

(^A.H^)

By lunch the girls realized that the guys were not coming to school today. Though not one of the five had called to say anything, they assumed their busy week had caught up with them and things had to be taken care of.

So the girls treated themselves to a peaceful day at school.

As they strolled into fifth period they found Kurenai with her arms and legs spread out on the stage.

"Kurenai-sensei?" Hinata called as they walked over to her.

She slightly turned her head and stared at them.

"Oh…hi girls…" she mumbled.

"Are you okay sensei?" Sakura asked.

She slightly nodded as more students began walking in.

"It's just this whole baby thing. It's really starting to wear down my entire schedule. With all these appointments and 'you can't eat or drink this' and 'be careful of this' stuff I'm exhausted beyond comprehension. I'm afraid for someone in my young age with a pregnancy like this I want be able to teach the dance lessons anymore."

"Oh, we're sorry Kurenai-sensei." Megami sighed. "Yeah, I'm sure pregnancy's can be difficult." Ino grumbled.

"Actually I'm really glad I caught up with you girls," she grunted as she slowly sat up.

"I was wondering if you would be willing to teach the dance lessons to the Konoha dance studio girls from now, you seemed to make quite a good impression on them yesterday and you're the best dancers in the class."

The girls frowned and or groaned, "Sorry Kurenai we would love to much we've already got jobs." Sakura explained.

Kurenai smiled sadly, "I understand. But if you change your minds just come and find me." She said just as the bell rang.

Later on, the girls stepped out of Konoha high again, together as they walked to their rides to get to work.

"Do you think we should go and see the guys later?" Ino asked. Tenten shook her head, "no, they have to be hella crazy busy. We'll see them tomorrow, or if all hell doesn't blow over we can call them tonight."

The girls nodded in agreement, then with content headed to their respective rides to get to work.

(^Meanwhile….^)

"WHOOOO! YEEEEEAAAAHH!" Murasaki yelled as she stuck out from the open space in the middle of the OMEGA limousine, a champagne glass in her hand.

"Is this even legal?" Aka asked as the other nine of them sat in the limo.

"Who cares?! Lighten up sis!" Kiiniro beamed. "These are one of the perks to being people like us!"

"I heard that!" Neji smirked as they clanked glasses. She giggled in turn.

All sat while music played, discussing upcoming events as they drove, while later the boys would be heading to the talk show.

Naruto on the other hand boredly leaned on the window sill.

He, for one was getting exhausted of game planning and now only wanted to be with Hinata.

As the limo came to a stoplight his eyes did not reseed. Especially though, when they widened.

He watched as Hinata walked down the sidewalk next to the line of stores after turning a corner from a familiar parking lot. Her eyes looked dreamy as she clutched her schoolbag.

Moments later she stepped into the restaurant he recognized to be Suki's fathers.

No.

She couldn't be working there.

The expression on her face as she walked in screamed 'save me.'

"Hey? Did you want to stop and grab a bite to eat Naruto?"

He stopped and turned his attention back to the nine of them (including the returned Murasaki.) as Shiro had spoken to him.

"You've been staring at that restaurant for some time."

He took a deep breath as the limo began to drive again.

"No, not at all. It's fine."

(^A.H^)

"How's it coming Sento?" Kao called as he walked up and down the store while his men worked on customer cars.

Tenten wiped her forehead, leaving a smeared grease mark on it as she worked under the car.

"Good boss, I don't know how they managed to break off the rear but it looks like I'll have her done by the end of the day."

"Nice" he smiled, chuckling a bit as he began to pass her.

Tenten happily hummed to the radio next to her as she began to move herself out of the car to get closer to the rear.

"Hey! Ten!" one of the workers called.

"Yeah?" she called back without taking her eyes away from the damaged car.

"Are there any jumpers in the car your working on?"

"Oh yeah in the back, it's open."

"Thanks!" they called as he went ahead and opened it.

"Mind?" he asked as he waved the wire in her face.

"No problem." She smiled.

He connected the wire to her car, then to the car he worked on sitting next to her, then rushed to get it started.

"Wait! Let me get out first!" she called, laughing.

Suddenly she noticed something to the car next to hers.

"H-hey! Wait!" she yelled as she tried to wriggle out.

"The reds aren't supposed to be touching each o—"

The sounds of electricity blazed the shot. And after a power surge, Tenten blacked out.

"Thank you, come again!" Sakura smiled to the man. He waved the bread in the bag on his arm as he exited the store.

Sakura groaned as the store remained empty for a moment.

Ino stood by the window with a broom next to her and a style magazine in her hands as her Ipod played BoA.

Sakura glared, "you could at least look like you're working."

"What do you think the brooms for forehead?" she said monotoneously.

Sakura quieted for a second, knowing why, Ino spoke up again.

"So she told you?"

"Yeah."

Good, then I have a question for you." The blond said as she closed the magazine back.

"She's two months pregnant. But she and Neji have always used protection; the only time they missed was when they went to spend the weekend at their parents a couple weeks ago. So how it is that she's two months?"

"I'm a doctors daughter Ino, not a detective. Chances are a condom broke or something along those lines. Maybe when they first started out they—"

The girls quieted when the door chimed again and a few people walked in.

"Welcome," Sakura smiled through grinding teeth. The lot smiled back and her as they continued on.

Sakura turned her head and gave Ino one of her 'kill me' stares.

Ino giggled and reopened her magazine.

"Thank you!" the little girl squealed happily, bouncing up and down with the two hamsters in the cage. The hamsters wriggled around a bit but remained calm.

They looked at each other then towards the little girl who stood with her father as he paid.

"No problem, now promise me you'll take good care of them alright? Those two are nothing without each other so you have to make sure you give them lots of love and attention." Megami smiled.

"Oh I will! Thank you Miss. Lady! Come on daddy! I can't wait to take you two home!"

Her father smiled softly through his rugged beard.

"Come on princess." His throaty voice rang as he walked and she bounced out of the store.

Megami cringed at the sound of the chime, signaling the doors closing.

The sounds of the animals kept her at bay, but she clutched her fists when a voice called to her.

"Megami! Come here!"

With her fists still tight she turned around and made her way to the backroom.

A monochrome expression stilled her face as she stepped in to face her boss, sitting in a chair with one leg over the other.

He smirked. While she remained dull.

"I've got a new job for you…but I'm afraid this one takes…skill…"

She glared, "look, I've let you kiss me, and touch me. This is sexual harassment, I'm not it doing anymore."

"You will if you want to keep this job."

"What the hell is it you want anyway?"

He hummed a bit as his left hand trailed down to his pant zipper.

She raised a brow in her glare as she watched him unzip the very pants.

"I'm sure you can already guess where this is going."

She grimaced and frantically shook her head, "NO! There is absolutely no way in HELL I'm doing something like that! I have never in my life done that! Not even to my own boyfriend so I sure as FUCK am not doing it to you."

"Want this job or not?!" he yelled.

She glared and smirked at the same time, to his confusion.

The animals went wild at the screams of pain from the backroom.

"Hey! Hinata! Is that plate ready?!" one of the waitresses called.

"Right here!" the hime called back as she focused her attention on another dish.

The waitress came up and look up the plate as other waited for the almost ready dish she stood finishing up.

Hinata hated rush hour in this restaurant. There was no possible time for a break, she was starving and the few waitresses who waited on Suki hand and foot treated her like trash.

She just wanted to go home.

"Aw, not having a good time?"

"Suki…" Hinata sighed as she flipped the pastry. "I'm very busy."

"Oh I know, I let a couple of the waiters know to deliver their orders to you personally."

Hinata remained silent.

"Are those burn marks still there?"

She said nothing.

"Hey!" Suki snapped. "Answer your boss when she's talking to you, you don't want to lose this job do you? Actually, if I were you I would have quit in a flash. I've seen Naruto-kun around town and he seems to be getting pretty familiar with some girl if you catch my dri-"

Suki jumped back as Hinata slammed the pot of hot oil onto the stove.

She twisted to Suki and held the kitchen knife up to her next. Her hair remained stringy and her eyes were blood-shot red.

"Listen to me Suki. I am tired beyond comprehension and I'm not one to get upset so easily, but you are really testing my nerves. You are not my boss. You can't fire me and I know you do not sign my paychecks. Making up stories about Naruto-kun are not going to get me to quit. I know better, so please just leave me to my work."

With that Hinata confidently turned back around and continued to work.

Suki glared heavily at her.

"I may not be able to fire you personally…but I know how to get you there." She mumbled.

Tenten groaned.

Slowly she shuffled and began to blink her eyes open.

She heard voices as her eyes fluttered open.

As they widened she found an unfamiliar face standing up and shaking Kao's hand.

"Thanks doc." He said as he leaned back down to her.

"Ngh…" she whimpered.

"M-my…my baby…"

"It's perfectly fine. You're okay."

She sighed in relief as she sat up.

She sighed as she looked around, only to find herself in the lounge room of the shop. She looked to the windows to be met with darkness.

"What happened?"

"Airo made a mistake in the jumpers. You blacked out from a static shock. Doctor says your okay now."

"What time is it?"

"A little past ten."

"Oh…I should probably be heading home, sorry for being such a bother."

He smiled, pushing strands of her hair back with one hand, "hey it's problem at all. It was nice…taking care of you, I was so scared your baby was…"

"I know" she smiled sadly as she up. "Thank you so much Kao."

They remained silent for a moment, just staring at each other.

They read each other through their eyes, and before they knew it Kao was leaning in, his eyes closing.

She did not back up, her eyes lazily dropped as he stole her lips.

She willingly took him in, letting their lips just innocent sway.

She opened her own mouth, giving his tongue a reseeding advantage over her. They mouths danced together chastely as he moved and sat on top of her.

In her mind, a bell rang continuously.

Neji.

Neji almost never was like this with her. His kisses were forceful and sometimes harsh. No matter how deep his feelings were for her, what she felt right now; the fire at the pit of her abdomen was, as they kissed, nearly orgasmic.

Sadly though, Kao was the one to let go. He grunted as he pulled back to her dismay, she touched his cheek as she whimpered while he breathed heavily.

"What are you…why did you kiss me back?"

"It felt…right…" she whispered.

"But you have a boyfriend!" he yelled.

"Your baby—"

"shush…none of that matters right now…just…"

"Ten—"

She kissed him herself. That alone brought him back down to her. Not in a forced motion, not in a hungry tone, just patient…

"Just take me now."

Groggily, Sakura and Ino made their way back inside house later that night. Ino yawned and already proceeded to trot upstairs until they noticed a light in the living room.

Tired, the girls walked to it to examine.

There they found, sitting on the white leather couch, Megami, watching late night crime shows with Neko sleeping on her lap.

"Hey—" Sakura yawned, "what are you doing home so early?"

"Oh. I got fired." She shrugged.

"You what?!" both girls yelled as the front door chimed open.

"It's barely been four days!" Ino yelled.

"Well what did you want me to do? The sick bastard I worked for was coming on to me, he asked me to do…things, so I kneed him in his junk mail and quit. Simple as that."

"Coming on to you?" Ino questioned as Hinata stepped in. "Hello," she greeted exhaustively.

"Hey! I thought you said you got fired," Sakura said, her hands on her hips.

"Fired, quit, same diff. Either way I didn't want to work there anymore. I think I might take up Kurenai's offer on the dance lessons. I called her earlier, it's great pay and better hours. I think it would be a better idea if we all did it. I know for a fact the three of you can't stand your jobs." The redhead said matter-factly.

The girls looked at each other knowingly, but said nothing.

"Oh! I just remembered!" Hinata said, changing the subject.

"the boys were on the talk show earlier, they are showing it tonight."

"Then let's watch and head to bed. I'm sure they're going to want to know whether or not we did tomorrow."

The girls nodded to each other as they sat on the couch together and turned the channel to E!-Japan.

They found themselves in the middle of the said talk show where the boys sat on a fanciful shining red leather couch while a woman by the name of Momo sat next to them, her legs crossed in a sultry dress with a paper in her hand.

Cheers elated the studio audience as the camera zoomed back on her and the boys.

"Welcome back to mOmO, ladies and gentlemen before we left we asked the boys that question. Guys here it is."

She turned to the boys.

"So the sex question. What have you got to say?"

Shikamaru, at the end shook his head.

"Naw, none of that right now." "Word is that you're going out with the daughter of Imoi Yamanaka, a very pretty doll she is."

They watched as a picture of Ino's Victoria's Secret solo shoot came up. The audience wooted.

Shikamaru smirked, "yeah she is. But we're kind of in the low right now." "Really?"

He nodded, "our relationship is just skipping stones. We're not ready for something like that."

The audience clapped and awed, Momo beamed through her literally rainbow colored hair.

Ino smiled proudly, she for one enjoyed where their relationship stood.

"Gaara?"

"I have to say the same thing. I mean, we have tried, but the timing was always wrong sad to say." He chuckled.

The audience laughed.

"A Miss. Sakura Haruno correct? Ladies and gentlemen you can surely see her or at least her name around Japan. Daughter of our major hospital industry right."

Gaara nodded.

Sakura's Victoria's Secret photo came up proudly and the audience cheered again.

Sakura blushed and looked down. They would find the right time, she hoped.

They would.

"Naruto-kun! Your up!" Momo smiled.

Naruto openly blushed and looked down, resulting in an 'awe' from the audience.

"U-uh…my Hinata-chan…we never really…I mean…w-we don't think about things like that…" he said, scratching his left cheek with his index finger.

The audience 'awed' again.

"Hinata-chan is it?"

He nodded without raising his head.

"One of Japan's royal families. Caused quite a commotion when you openly came out with your relationship at what was supposed to me the wedding of the century. We all hope you both are doing great, what you did there was very, very brave."

"Thanks" he smiled, raising his head as a photo of Hinata's Victoria's Secret shoot popped out, giving more cheers.

Hinata turned away and blushed a deep scarlet. Never, she and Naruto have never thought about something such as that.

She wanted to wait until marriage. And hopefully…it would be him that would lead her there…

"I should say the same for you Mr. Uchiha. You have quite a history with Konoha's princess." she smiled as a picture of Megami's Victoria's Secret shoot came up.

Sasuke smirked, "Right. If it hasn't already hit the media I was happy to take her….well…flower."

The audience cheered and whistled.

But then he sighed, "she's still so innocent though. It's hard to do that kind of stuff when someone's constantly asking 'am I doing it right?' 'am I doing it right?' 'baby, wait, stop, I don't think I'm doing it right.'"

The audience burst out in laughter.

Megami's smile fell, she froze in place.

Momo laughed heartily.

"Well that's…interesting news. Neji?"

"I'M GONNA KILL THAT FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!"

Tenten raised a brow as she stepped in with her bag in her left hand and her school sweater in her right.

She looked towards the living room as she began to pass, watching Hinata, Sakura, and Ino hold Megami back from using the chair against the window.

She sighed as she noticed the boy's talk show blaring on TV. Neji spoke, smirking, at the bottom of the screen read the worlds. Question #12: Sex.

She rolled her eyes, instantly realizing what he could be saying at the moment.

No matter, she thought, it didn't mean anything anymore.

Not anymore.

(^A.H^)

"YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKING BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON NATIONAL TV! I ASKED YOU THOSE THINGS IN CONFIDENCE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" Megami screamed as she repeatedly punched Sasuke who sat at his desk, annoyed.

"It just slipped out." "YEAH! WELL SO DID YOU! CAN'T HANDLE, HUH BITCH?!" she yelled.

Sakura rolled her eyes as the eight of them sat together in homeroom with a minimal amount of other students.

"Is she going to stop?" Neji growled.

"Eventually, even she doesn't have the energy to hold all that screaming after a week like this." She answered.

The boys looked to the small bags under each of their eyes.

"You guys have really been putting all you can in this haven't you dattebayo?" Naruto frowned.

"It doesn't matter. I think we've all agreed that we're going to take up Kurenai-sensei's offer on teaching the dance lessons, it sounds much more our style anyways." Sakura explained.

"And my car is coming later on!" Ino sighed happily.

"I believe we can finally call today freedom." Hinata smiled slightly as she watched the door slide open.

As always, Kitty sauntered in as if they owned the entire building.

Hinata and Suki met eyes, but it was left at that.

"Well how about this. After you guys quit why don't you come over so we can celebrate?" Gaara offered.

"But I thought you guys said you were working all week?" Sakura said, confused.

"We made room" he mumbled and kissed her cheek.

"Aw! You guys are the best!" Ino beamed as she hugged Shikamaru tightly.

"But we have to leave early to finish something." He explained, grunting.

The girls shrugged and nodded.

"Tenten, you've been a bit quiet" Hinata mumbled as the rest continued to talk about their plans.

Tenten turned away from the window towards her. She smiled softly, an expression Hinata had actually yet to see.

"I'm fine Hinata. Actually, more than that. I'm great! I feel great…"

"I'm SORRY, okay?" Sasuke snapped after another swift beating with her English book.

Megami pouted.

He sighed, holding his arms out.

"Princess?"

She smiled and opened her arms, only to close them back and knee him in his manhood once again.

"HA! Payback BITCH!"

(^A.H^)

"Oh I'm so glad you girls are able to do it! You'll have plenty of fun I guarantee. The girls are great and the pay should be more than enough to cover your monthly bills." Kurenai beamed later that day in fifth period, after the boys left.

"Wait, how did you find out about our cut off?" Sakura asked.

Kurenai smiled sheepishly, "Well, Tsunade, Kakashi, and I kind of have our own meetings, your parents keep us updated."

The girls stared at each other in annoyed tones.

Their parents…

"Anyway the girls will love you! Can you start next week?"

"Absolutely." The girls said cheerily.

"Perfect, now how about we move onto class?"

Once again, for the fifth consecutive time in the week the girls headed their separate ways. Sakura towards the grocery store. Ino towards the car dealership to pick up her new ride. Hinata towards the restaurant. And Tenten towards the car shop.

Megami went ahead and went to the pet store for what she stated as…unfinished business.

(^A.H^)

"Are you sure? You've only been at work here for aboutfive days, why the sudden resignation?" the old woman asked sadly.

Sakura smiled sadly as she handed her her and Ino's resignation forms.

"This is a really good job and we're sorry we have to go but we still have school and such, it's really cutting into time." She explained.

"Oh I understand, you girls are seniors of course. I can see how you would be busy." The old woman smiled.

"Oh well, don't let me keep you lounging around, I'll find some new helpers. But please do stop by and visit me sometime if you can!" she called.

"We will" Sakura smiled as she walked to the door. She held it for a girl in the Konoha High uniform who was walking in.

"Oh! Thank you Sakura-sama!" she bowed as she walked in.

Sakura watched from outside as the girl stood talking to the old woman. She pulled out a piece of paper and the old woman beamed.

Sakura sighed in relief, thankful she wasn't leaving her all alone.

"There! There she is!"

Hinata stood up straight as she saw Suki's hot pink and light pink fingers pointing towards her as the rest of the workers and the owners stood behind her.

"Hinata." The owner spoke roughly.

"Y-yes?" she asked.

"Did you, or did you not take the some of the restaurants recipe's and give them to Tsubata's?"

Hinata lightly gasped, she knew just as much as the next person that Tsubata's is the rival restaurant, just down the street from Suki's.

"Of course not!" she said instantly.

"That's not what Suki said." He said sternly.

Hinata shot her a look. Suki stood with her hands on her hips.

"Hinata, you haven't been what I expected you to be in just one week of working here. I'm afraid that…because of these actions…I'm going to have too—"

"I quit!" Hinata said quickly to everyone's surprise.

"It is what I came here for. I haven't enjoyed working here at all. All you all do is throw the work my way just because of my background and because Suki told you too—"

The owner looked at his sheepish looking cooks, then to his distancing daughter.

"I have had enough" she stated. "I quit, and before you accuse me of actions I did not commit, you should check the camera's and take a look at your own daughter."

With that, Hinata took a deep breath, slammed her registration form on the counter, and left.

As the kitchen door closed the owner gave a fearful Suki a long and serious look.

"Suki. We need to speak."

Sekushi whistled as took out his keys for the shop after taking a long lunch break. He walked down the street.

He marveled at the people waiting outside the shop and smirked.

Suddenly, though, as he grew closer he found that they didn't seem to be waiting for him, but were staring at something.

He walked up and stood behind the crowd to look at his own store.

SUPER-PERV

DON'T GET A JOB HERE!

SEXUAL HARRASSMENT!

OWNER IS A PERVERT!

LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

BUT SOMEONE SHOULD COME AND SAVE THE ANIMALS!

Various words and phrases were written in multi colors all around the glass windows of his store. Or, what was left of his window anyways.

A huge gape was in the middle of the store with pieces of broken glass at the bottom.

Women shrieked and people moved out of the way as the small animals like frogs, lizards, and hamsters ran out.

Some people picked them up while inside the dogs, cats, and other various things ran wildly.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY STORE?!" he yelled.

The people looked at him, then back to the signs, then back to him.

He ignored them as he ran inside the hole where his animals ran rapidly.

"Stop! All of you! Who let you out of your cages!" he demanded.

He froze as he noticed Nala, slithering towards him.

He smiled nervously, backing up.

"H-hey, Nala, s-stop that. Y-you know me! Come on! Papa remember?!" he laughed nervously as his back met the brick wall.

He yelled at the top of his lungs.

Megami chuckled as she lay across her bike across the street. Her suit and helmet fully on.

"Now THAT is a resignation."

She sighed happily as she rang the engine and sat straight on her bike, pulling off the sidewalk and driving off.

"Hey…" Tenten smiled as she peeked in.

"Hey." Kao smiled as he lifted himself up from the car he was working on.

Tenten clutched her school bag with both hands.

"Um…could we talk?...in private?"

Kao nodded and motioned for her to follow him.

He led them to the lounge, where they both sat on the familiar couch.

"Hard to believe we actually…"

He coughed.

"Here."

She nodded, turning away.

"So, what made you want to sleep with a guy you barely know anyway? both while you're pregnant, and have another guy." He said darkly.

"That's actually what I came here to talk to you about…but first of all, I came here to quit."

He twisted to her in confusion.

"What? Why? Is it because of what happened—"

"No, not at all. My girlfriends and I are getting a job together, it's easier that way." She explained.

He nodded in understanding.

She took his hand.

"But Kao…I know things are weird right now…and we barely know each other…but there are some things in my life I'd really like to change right now…will you help me?"

He turned to her, his dark green eyes clashing with her chocolate brown.

He smirked, touching her cheek.

"Of course doll…"

(^A.H^)

Happily, the girls knocked on the OMEGA mansion for the first time in the week.

The four of them waited patiently for Geevs to open the door.

They looked around, as if the mansion were alien to them.

"I like the new car Ino." Hinata smiled. Ino turned back and gazed at her new baby in confidence.

Now, she was the proud owner of a bright yellow topless 2014 Volkswagen Bug.

"I know right? Safe to say, I think I like her more than my other, rest her soul," she sighed dramatically.

"Whose car do you think those are?" Megami asked as she turned her attention to the lot with five multi-colored cars.

Sakura shrugged, "who knows? Maybe they've got company."

Without another thought Geevs opened the door, and seemed shocked to see them.

"Y-young mistresses?! What are you doing here?"

Sakura raised a brow, "What are you talking about Geevs?" the girls laughed as they began to walk in.

"You should not be her right now. The masters said—"

"They're the ones who told us to come," Ino scoffed, looking around.

"You alright Geevs? You're acting kinda weird!" Megami asked.

"Young mistresses, I highly advice you not too—"

"Let's go check their rooms; those idiots won't know what hit'em!" Megami suggested.

The girls nodded in agreement as they went ahead and ran up the stairs happily.

Geevs sighed and shook his head as he closed and backed away from the door.

"I warned them…"

The girls ran their separate ways to the boys rooms.

Megami skipped over to Sasuke's and without haste burst open the door.

"SASU-CHAN! MEGAMI IS—"

She stopped and stared.

Two pairs of eyes fell on her.

Sasuke stood with a toothbrush in hand, only in dark blue jeans, while another girl with dark red lingerie with matching hair in his bed staring forward.

"I…I…" she murmured.

Suddenly her eyes began to tear up.

"Mega..." Sasuke sighed.

"Wrong room!" she cried, slamming the door back as she ran.

Sakura gleefully knocked on Gaara's door and waited patiently.

When she received no answer she knocked again but to her chagrin no one answered.

"Gaara?" she called, "are you in?"

Still nothing. She sighed and shrugged to herself as she opened the door.

She stood straight and lightly gasped, her hand clenching the door handle.

Gaara sat with a girl with purple hair, he sat shirtless with dark red pants, she sat with matching purple lingerie.

"Crap" he grumbled, "Sak—"

She furiously slammed the door back, making Murasaki jump.

"Sakura! Wait! It's not!—"

Hinata daintily knocked on Naruto's door, "Naruto-kun!" she called.

"I-I'm here" she slightly mumbled.

She listened to the murmuring coming from his room. She listened as she heard another voice which she her confusion sounded slightly feminine.

"N-Naruto-kun?" she whimpered as she turned the door knob.

Hinata backed up at the sight before her. Instantly tears welled up in her eyes.

Naruto sat on his bed, shirtless in dark orange jeans with a girl with pure white hair and matching lingerie on his lap, giggling until they noticed her.

"H-how could…" she mumbled.

"Hinata?" Naruto said in a shocked and confused tone.

She twisted around and ran, rubbing her eyes as she did.

"Hinata! Wait! Please!"

Ino merrily twirled to Shikamaru's door, humming as she held onto the handle.

"Coming in!" she beamed as she instantly turned the door and twisted it open.

Her said smile dropped slowly as she faced the image before her.

A random girl, in (in her opinion) cheap blue lingerie with matching hair. While her said boyfriend lay under her in nothing but dark green jeans.

"Shika…?"

They both looked up and turned to her. His eyes slightly widened.

That alone gave her a signal that she wasn't supposed to be there.

She smiled as tears welled up in her eyes, she screamed loudly then turned and ran.

"Ino—!" he groaned, pushing Ao off him as he went after her.

Boredly, Tenten walked to Neji's room. She rolled her eyes as she almost to easily heard the female giggling from the other side of the door.

She took a deep breath then sighed and let it out in a sigh.

She twisted the golden door knob and let the door fly open.

She stood menacingly at the door where she found just across from her, her very boyfriend kissing another girl while she sat in loose golden lingerie with matching hair and him in only dark purple jeans.

They let go at the sound of the door, there to face Tenten's plain expression.

Simply she pulled the door back and shook her head as she backed up and gently closed the door.

"I've had enough." She said from outside the door.

"We're through."

"Megami, please wait." Sasuke sighed as he casually followed her while she ran crying down the steps.

Sadly she tripped and fell flat on her face.

She shook her head as she tried to stand up, "ugh! Why am I such a damn klutz!" she screamed.

"You tell me" Sasuke smirked as he tried to help her up.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" she yelled.

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU! I TRUSTED YOU YOU BASTARD—!"

Her yelling fell into a ferry of others as Sakura ran down the steps with Gaara close behind.

"Leave me alone! It's over do you hear me?!" she yelled, off the steps.

"Saki—!"

Their voices fell into a puddle of others as Hinata ran crying down the steps, Naruto furiously ran behind, trying to catch up.

"Hinata-chan! I—"

"don't call me that!" she cried, rubbing her eyes.

"I-I don't ever want to see your face again!"

As such she fell with another voice as Ino stormed down the steps with Shikamaru trailing behind.

"So this is why you said our relationship is minimal?! So you could go and screw some fucking slut?! Well I'm done! You got that! I don't fucking need you!" she yelled.

"Ino…" he sighed.

Tenten casually walked down the stairs while Neji ran behind her.

"Hey! Ten!" he called. She whistled as she walked down.

"What's your deal?" he snapped as he grabbed her arm.

She did not turn around.

She slipped her hand out from his grasp and sighed, continuing down.

The girls stood next to each other and stared at the boys they'd put their hearts and souls into.

They stood silent for a few moments.

Until…

"OKAY! CUT!"

The girls shot up straight, looking around for the source of the voice.

They watched the boys loosen and stretch in relief.

"Damn it sucks being trapped in that room for that long dattebayo!" Naruto stretched.

"That was great guys. The record company's going to love it when we put this together."

The girls directed their attention to the left, where they found, coming from under the stairs and a couple rooms, large film camera's and men and woman. Then one particular man who stood in the middle with a paper in his hand.

"Alright everyone! That's a wrap!" he called.

The girls watched agape as the five girls from their rooms walked down the steps casually.

"That was awesome you guys!" Murasaki smiled. "Yeah! Can't wait for the next one!" Ao beamed.

"We'll be in the dressing room" the announced as they walked past and waved to the girls as people coming from all around came up and gave them multi-colored towels.

"Hey…aren't they Stara…?" Ino mumbled.

"SOMEONE BETTER EXPLAIN WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!" Megami yelled.

The man in front raised a brow.

"No one gave you the memo? A special edition music video for the new album." He explained as he walked on.

"Music video?!" the girls gasped together, turning their full attention back to the boys.

"So…that's what you've been up to all week? Trying to find a way to trick us into doing this?"

"Actually we have actually been doing what we said we would be doing." Sasuke explained. "And we would have had you girls act but getting your actual reactions of the 'cheating boyfriends' is more raw and looks better on camera." Shikamaru added.

"So…you didn't cheat on us for the umpteenth time?" Megami asked as the film crew began their packing. The boys proudly shook their heads.

"Wait" Naruto frowned, "umpteenth—?"

"You bastards!" Megami, Sakura, and Ino yelled exhaustingly, flinging themselves into their arms.

Hinata blushed and looked down, "oh…I acted so inappropriately…"

"Naw, you were perfect Hina," Naruto smiled wildly, she returned it with a kiss.

Tenten blankly turned to Neji who stood and smirked at her.

When her expression didn't change his smirk dropped and a raised brow replaced it.

"What's your deal? You haven't talked to me since yesterday. We haven't kissed all week, hell, we haven't even slept together, sheesh."

"So that really is all I am to you?" she whispered.

"What?" he questioned in an annoyed tone.

The rest of the gang turned their attention to the two of them as the last camera man left.

Tenten looked up and looked him straight in the eye.

"I meant what I said on the steps. It's the only reason I came here."

"What are you talking about Tenten?" Sakura questioned.

"Ten…" Neji growled, "what are you saying?"

She took a deep breath and smiled genuinely.

"I had sex with another guy. As of right now, our relationship is over."

The decision has finally been made.
