Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Coz If I had, I would not make Byakugan with so many veins popping around the eyes. Instead, I'd make it change from white to violet or vice versa much like the Sharingan(darn, the longest disclaimer I ever written)

"Darn Neji! How could he! How could he! My first kiss and it's not even that romantic! Why, oh, why!" Tenten rants as she walks towards Lee's house.

"And he used me to demonstrate kissing to Hinata-chan! How could he! How could he! And he didn't even face me after that! And he didn't even say sorry!" she continued ranting until her foot set on his team mate's door. She was about to knock when she heard something inside that sounds like a growl of a monster or something like that. (of course she's just exaggerating.)

Thinking about Lee, she sneaked into the house as lightly as possible. She noticed a slightly opened door.

She was shocked…

No…

She was more than shocked… Her foot seemed to stay in place, her body starting to become so rigid.

'yuck…' she thought as her lips twitched into a disgusted curl.

Seeing his team mate with a girl in such a horrible manner… is… really… Nauseating!

'Jeez… it seems so slimy! And his saliva… God…At least Neji isn't like this…' a part of her mind said as she stood there dumbstruck.

She sneaked out, a glad smile on her face. At least… she was lucky enough that she doesn't get kissed by Rock Lee…

He's searching for Tenten. He guessed it was really rude of him to just kiss her without her approval, he must apologize. Luckily, he ran into her while she's walking away from Lee's house. He called.

"Tenten"

When she faced him, he was actually readying himself to fly again or to dodge on her coming attacks, or run away if she attempts to kill him. She gave him an incredulous look.

"I'm sorry that I took you for granted. I'm really sorry. Hinata-sama said it's a matter of life and death… so… "

The girl turned her back on him, saying "Never mind that. Just don't do it again without my consent."

"So I can kiss you as long as I gain your approval? Thank You Tenten." he asked with hidden excitement and a small mischievous smirk.

"DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO ASK ME THAT?" she asked, her face as red as beet before punching the lights out of him.

Before he knew it…

He was flying again.

"Belle, you're the most beautiful, the kindest, and the most elegant of all. You deserved to be with me, see? I'm rich, handsome not to mention a genius. Don't you think so?" Neji asked stoically, spotting two black eyes as he spoke. Sakura just have to sweatdropped. The guy certainly doesn't know how to act.

"Ah… I see then but no thanks… Bye!" Hinata said portraying the part of a kind but annoyed girl well as she decided to just escape and run away.

"CUT! Neji, come over here." The pink-haired director demanded.

"I dislike telling this to you but can you at least improve your acting? You are certainly no genius at this." Sakura frowned while Neji glared daggers at her.

Duh, no one ever tell Hyuuga Neji that he is not a genius!

"Fine. Suggestions then?" he asked impassively. Sakura smirked. She knows too well that the so-called-unemotional Neji have a crush on his weapon-engaged teammate.

"Well, why don't you go and ask Tenten to practice with you? I'm quite sure you'll improve a lot"

The stuck-up genius didn't know if he was to cringe or to blush or both. Despite her beauty, Tenten sure throw punches as hard as Sakura does.

"B-but… Tenten is busy with the costumes right?"

"Tell her to leave it up to Shino. Or is the genius Neji too afraid to do so?" she asked mischievously, challenging the young man to agree with her.

"Fine!" he retorted angrily as he stormed out.

Neji is not afraid of anything.

Not of Gai, nor Lee…

And surely…

Not afraid of Tenten's jam packed blows when she's mad.

Though inwardly, the prodigy squirmed.

Sakura sighed. Kiba was way too over acting, Naruto too taut, and Neji seemed like a talking rock. Busy with thinking of how to straightened things up, she fell out of he chair when a loud boom exploded.

"Kakashi, you are really worthy to be my long-life rival. I commend you for the astonishing exertion of dodging that first-rate attack. However, I shall win this match or I will go all over Konoha 2,000 times with just one hand. If I couldn't do that, I'll do 10,000 push-ups with you on my back. If I couldn't do that—"

"SHANNARO!"a loud growl from a very aggravated Sakura shut up the bickering jounins.

"YOU! YOU BLOWN UP THE WHOLE ARRANGEMENT JUST BECAUSE OF THAT?" she continued, cracking her knuckles as the two hugged in dread.

The last thing they knew is how Gai pee-d on his green spandex before being thrown out of Konoha, black and blue.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Commented a watching Shino unemotionally before going back to work on the props all over again.

After watching a sudden outrageous display of violence, the actors and actresses simply put on their mind to not annoy the brutal and sadistic director again.

"NARUTO! KIBA!" Sakura called somehow impatiently.

The two was suddenly in front of her so stiff they resembled well-trained soldiers.

"Ma'm, yes, ma'm!" they chorused in a stomach in, chest out fashion.

Sakura heaved a sigh. "Go act your part immediately. I don't want any exaggerated nor too rigid actions. Is that clear?"

"Ma'm, yes, ma'm!" they said in the similar fashion.

"And would you stop that! You're annoying me!"

"Hai…" they refrained a little too meekly before starting to act as fast as they can without frustrating Sakura.

Inwardly, the director was very pleased to notice that the problem on Kiba and Naruto's actions was already solved.

'hmmmm… Perhaps, Kakashi-sensei and Gai-sensei also had been a little bit useful…' she thought as she snickered privately.

"Next! Hinata and Naruto, come over here please." She said lightly, calling them over.

"Hinata-chan, I trust that Naruto here already told you about the important scene you must engage into?" she asked the petite girl dearly with a formal tone that can rival the 5th Hokage.

"Hai, Sakura-chan. I thoroughly understand the need for that part. Rest assured that I would do my best to accomplish the part flawlessly." The girl responded with a shy smile.

"That's good then. However, I wouldn't be asking you to kiss Naruto here every time we rehearsed. I'd be asking this of you to do it once and on the day of the presentation. I feel that it would be too much of me to ask you a very big favor of kissing Naruto here every time we run through this part. Truth be told, I feel for you." She looked at Naruto to emphasize her remark, grinning to show that she's just kidding.

"EH! Sakura-chan! Why did you say that?" voiced out Naruto with a puppy look in his cerulean eyes.

"Urusai." The pink-haired girl retorted coldly with just one word but it was enough to silenced our dear Naruto who doesn't want to go through the punishment she gave Kakashi and Gai.

Hinata giggled before saying,"I-it's okay N-naruto-kun… Sakura-chan, it's okay for me to rehearsed the part every now and then. I really wouldn't like the play to be messed up b-because of me..."

"Is that so? Then, that's good. The more familiar you get with Naruto here, the better. Anyway, that would be all. Thank you for your time Hinata-chan" Sakura smiled.

'Mou, why is Sakura-chan so nice to Hinata but not to me. She's not even talking to me directly and when she speaks with me, she's usually angry. And why does Hinata only blush and stutter around me? Doesn't she like me? Mou, so unfair… ' Naruto thought feeling out of place.

-00000-

"-cough-,-cough-,-feigned cough-. Uhm, Hinata would you like to practice our scenes on our own? I think it would be great if we could have an extra practice after our rehearsals every day? Wouldn't that be a great idea? Mou, I just don't like Sakura-chan whacking my head every time I messed up,you know?"

"H-hai… N-naruto-kun…" the Hyuuga girl stammered. Naruto frowned at her, wondering why she's blushing and stuttering. Ain't that a tad bit weird?

"Hinata, why do you always stammer around me? Did I do something wrong?"

The brunette waved her hands frantically and if possible, turn a much greater shade of red, "N-no, no! It's not like that N-naruto-kun!"

"Eh? So why is that so?"

"I-I'm really just like t-this when I'm embarrassed, nervous or in front of t-the one I r-r-really l-like…" there she said it. She heaved a sigh hoping that her Naruto-kun would somehow understand her hidden confession.

"Uhuh, so does that mean that I embarrassed you?"

She whispered a little no.

"No? Oh, then you're nervous around me?"

The girl let out a small meep and shook her head no. She's definitely not nervous when she's with Naruto but she's beginning to get nervous now. She took a step a back and spun around.

"You must like me then! Now, I get it! I'm very flattered Hinata! I like you too!" he said, grinning a very happy grin.

A small squeak was heard before the poor Hinata fainted into a thud.

"And I think you must have like too many because you are very kind. But it was really a surprise to me that you like me too." The dense boy turned to see Hinata lying on the ground.

"Eh, Oi, Hinata! Did I say something wrong?"

No reply.

"Mou… I just thought we're very much alike. I like many people too. I like Sasuke-teme, Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei, Neji, Lee, Iruka-sensei, Kiba, Shino, Ino blah blah blah blah"

NEJI: MOU! WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?

Me: What do you mean by mean? I let you kiss Tenten, didn't I?

GAI: BUT YOU LET ME PEE ON MY GREEN SUIT! How could you deny me the joys of being so youthful! Ah, I'm so ashamed… The spring flower of youth has become so dried upon you…

LEE:

Me: I can't understand you. Aren't the youthful ones such as babies pee on their diapers?

NEJI: AND YOU SENT ME FLYING WITH BLACK EYES! You're mean, mean, mean!

Me: shrugged it off Okay, if you say so. Tenten, beat Neji down into a pulp.

TENTEN: Ma'm, yes, ma'm!

NEJI: NOOOO!

A/N: This is the second chapter. Sorry if I took long to update and I don't do beta that's why there would probably have a lot of grammatical errors on this one. But please, please, just bear with me. Thank you to all who reviewed on the first chapter.
