Chapter One: The Bet with Sakurino

It was an average day in an average teenage life. Life was great for Tenten…but the only problem was she needed a boyfriend.

"Tenten, why do you always wear baggy pants and being all…sporty?" Ino whispered to her ear after school.

"Yeah…like a tomboy," Sakura joined in and Ino nodded with agreement.

"What are you guys talking about? I'm still a girl and I'm not a lesbo or anything," Tenten defended herself while walking out of school.

"Well…everyone talks about it. Sakura and I heard people "talking"," Ino ran in front of her with Sakura.

"So? Let people say what they want to say. It's not the truth," Tenten walked around them with her hands in her pockets.

"But," Sakura ran in front of Tenten again stopping her. "Don't you want to prove them wrong?"

"MmmHmmm," Ino agreed with Sakura nodding.

"Yeah. But what can I do?" Tenten walked around them again annoyingly.

"WE CAN HELP YOU FIND A BOYFRIEND THEN!" Sakura and Ino shouted together.

"IT'S A PERFECT IDEA! Lets see...not Shikamaru. He's MINE. Not Sasuke…he's Sakura's...not Naruto he's Hinata's…there's only…" Ino pointed to her chin thinking.

"Kiba, Shino, Choji, and Neji," Sakura stated the names.

"Ok. First not Kiba. He's more obsessed with dogs then girls. Not Shino. He's just too….err…too…" Ino tried to find a word.

"Freaky? Strange? Mysterious? A bug-loving guy?" Sakura suggested looking at her.

"Yeah! Those and not Choji…he's just…well you know," Ino said and noticed Tenten leaving.

"THAT LEAVES AT NEJI!" Sakura yelled with excitement and jumped up and down.

Tenten froze at her spot. She turned slowly and yelled, "NO WAY! NO WAY IN THE WORLD I WOULD GO OUT WITH HIM!" Tenten blushed furiously.

"Why? You…" Sakura looked at Ino and smirked.

"YOU LIKE HIM?!" Ino and Sakura said together.

"SHHHH!!!" Tenten put her hands over their mouths quickly. "Let's deal with this somewhere else…"

"Ugh. I shouldn't agreed to this…Ino, Sakura. I'm going to get you someday," Tenten gritted her teeth and nervously about to pick up the phone. Tenten gulped and began to dial.

Tenten, Ino, and Sakura was at Shikamaru's Café shop. "Hey Shika-kun!" Ino ran to the counter and kissed him on the cheek. Shikamaru blushed and said, "Yeah Yeah woman. What do you guys want?" Shikamaru looked away and waved away at them.

"Hmph. Is this how you treat your girlfriend?" Ino pouted cutely to Shikamaru and he said, "Yes."

"Argh! Fine, umm…three cappuccinos milk and sugar." Ino decided for them.

Sakura, Ino, and Tenten found a table to sit on and discussed.

"Okay. About Nej-" Sakura started but was interrupted.

"No No NO! In the way! I know what you're thinking. I REFUSE! Nuh uh," Tenten looked away.

"What? It's a perfect match! He's a cool popular guy! Everyone loves HIM! He's just like Sasuke but more calm. And he's major good at sports like you and is the best except Sasuke of course. He's smart, social at times, and-" Sakura started but was interrupted again.

"AND HOT!" Ino shouted the last part out. Shikamaru heard Ino and glared at her. "Eheheh…of course not as hot as you Shika-kun…heheh…" Ino sweat dropped.

"I agree with all you said. BUT NO!" Tenten stopped and realized what she said.

"AHA! You admit it! You like NEJI!" Ino and Sakura exclaimed jumping out of there seats pointing at her.

"Stop scaring the customers Ino and Sakura," Shikamaru got their cappuccinos and handed out to them. "So...what about Neji?"

"We are trying to hook up Neji and Tenten together," Ino replied back sipping her cappuccino.

Shikamaru's eyebrows went up with interest, "Really? I could help. We're all friends; Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, and I."

"REALLY?!" Ino and Sakura's eyes glittered and put their hands together.

"Yeah yeah yeah. But this is only one time occasion. There's nothing to do around here anyways," Shikamaru stated and Ino bear hugged him.

"INO!" Shikamaru blushed and try to pry her off.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SHIKA-KUN!" Ino yelled then realized what she said.

Both Shikamaru and Ino blushed 100 shades red.

"Ok…if you guys are like this. I'm ditching this place," Tenten drank her cappuccino and was about to leave when,

"NO TENTEN! YOU CAN'T!" Sakura held on to Tenten's arm.

'Okay…ready…set…' Tenten gulped mentally. Her fingers trembled on the numbers on the phone.

"Okay. Here's the plan I mean here's the bet," Ino calmed down and went back to business.

"Bet?! What am I betting for?" Tenten crossed her arms.

"Well, if you can get Neji to be your girlfriend for just a week then we will do anything you say," Ino said with a straight face.

"What?! Me too?! But this was your plan/bet!" Sakura whiningly tugged on Ino.

"Shh. Sakura, if we do this we will be known as the CUPIDS DUO: SAKURINO!" Ino whispered loudly to her ear.

"What the heck?! Sakurino? What kind of name is-" Sakura looked weirdly at her friend.

"Come on! This will be once in a lifetime for Tenten and she totally needs it. I call this Project Cupid #1!" Ino went on and on.

"Okay guys? Why are you guys huddling back there?" Tenten looked at them very very weirdly.

"Uhh…NOTHING!" Ino and Sakura stood up nervously. "Okay. And if you don't, we are going to post your "picture" when you had your hair cut when you were 9." Ino smirked evilly.

"N-NO. NOT THAT PICTURE!" Tenten widened her eyes from fear. 'The picture when I accidently cut my hair and then I have to cut it all off looking like a boy! NOOO! Now the students at school will really think I'm a boy!'

"FINE! It's a deal. Actually if I win, you have to do anything I say for 2 weeks," Tenten smirked back.

"What?! NO, that isn't fair. Not two weeks," Ino retorted back.

"Then I guess I have to show the picture when both you guys had that little incident," Tenten smirked evilly back to them.

"T-The incident?" Ino and Sakura said together thinking of that time. 'Oh yeah. It's the time when Ten Ten's b-day party and we…w-we…got covered with cake and confetti and OMG! NOOOO!!!!'

"Okay Okay. D-Deal!" Both of them said quickly.

Tenten smirked and said, "That's right. Okay so all I have to do is… be boyfriend and girlfriend for a week?"

"YEP! AND NO HELPING FROM US! You can have help from Shika-kun, Sasuke, and Naruto and stuff," Ino smiled and nodded in improvement.

"Ugh. Fine," Tenten sat up to leave.

"Oh and," Sakura called out to TentTen.

Ten Ten called back, "What?"

"You have to call him today!" Ino answered back to Tenten.

"WHAT?!?!?!" Tenten bolted to them.

'Sigh. And here I am…' Tenten gulped one more time and took a deep breath.

"Okay," Tenten dialed Neji's number that Shikamaru gave her.

RING RING!

"OMGOSH! It's ringing," Tenten panicked and heard a monotone voice, "Hello?"

Tenten hanged up and panicked. 'I can't do this! I can't do this! No wait Tenten put your game face on.' She meant to slap mentally but she actually slapped herself. "Ow…"

She dialed Neji's number again and it ringed.

"Hello?" Neji sounded annoyed and Tenten cleared her throat. "Ah Hm. Hi Neji it's Tenten. You know from school."

"…yeah…What do you want?" Neji stayed in the same tone.

"Uh…I know this sounds weird right now. But it's all my friends stupid bet, so…" Tenten slowed down and Neji grunted.

"Wouldyougooutwithme!" Tenten slurred her sentence very quickly.

"? What? Say it again?" Neji sounded confused.

"What I meant to say was. Would you go out w-with me?" Tenten blushed but of course Neji can't see.

At first Neji didn't say anything and you could only hear him breathing deeply. "….."

Tenten sighed. "It's okay if you don't. I mean it's only for a week. And it doesn't have to be special or anything. The truth is my friends and I made a bet and I really want to prove them I COULD DO THIS!" Tenten sounded so desperately that Neji said,

"….Hnn. Fine only because I pity you like this. But only for a week," Neji said.

'YES! VICTORY!' Tenten cheered mentally. "O-Okay. See you tomorrow at school then Neji!"

"Hnn," And Neji hanged up.

"YES! HA BEAT THAT SAKURA AND INO!" Tenten cheered and did her night routines and went to bed thinking what will happen tomorrow.

While Neji layed down at bed and thought, 'Hmm. Tenten?' He saw her determined face and her smirk. Neji smirked at his thought and went to sleep. 'She sure is different all right.'

IN THE MORNING…

Tenten woke up and yawned and did her morning routines.

OKAY FAST FORWARDING TO SCHOOL…

"Hi Tenten! So how did it go?" Ino and Sakura shouted when they went to their first period class, math with Kakashi sensei.

"Well…he said yes," Tenten said quietly and sat down at her seat and looked back the seat behind her, Neji's.

"WHAT?!?! HE SAID YES?!?! OMG!" Ino and Sakura sprang out of their chairs and almost glomped on Tenten.

"Wait a minute guys! He just said he will go out with me cause of this bet and he ugh pity's me. What a jerk right?" Tenten looked at them crossing her arms.

Ino and Sakura stopped jumping and looked at each other, "HE SAID YES??! OMG! OMG OMG OMG!" And they started to jump again.

Tenten anime sweat dropped and closed her eyes.

A few mintues later, the Neji Hyuga stepped in the classroom oh-so-casually and sat behind Tenten.

Tenten opened her eyes and felt lavender eyes boring onto her head. Tenten shook from nervousness and Kakashi yelled out, "CLASS IN YOUR SEATS!"

Ino and Sakura sat down in their seats and smirked at Tenten looking at Neji.

Tenten glared at them and looked back, "Good morning Neji!"

Neji 'hnn'ed and crossed his arms from boredom.

Tenten frowned and said a bit louder, "I said Good morning!"

Neji said, "Whatever."

Tenten fumed and didn't realized she sprang out of her seat and said, "I SAID GOOD MORNING YOU JERK!"

The class looked at her and Kakashi said, "Good morning to you too, Miss Tenten. But since you said 'jerk' to a teacher I have to give you detention. And Mr. Hyuga you don't come to class late, so you will also have detention.

"Hnn. Whatever," Neji didn't seem phased at his remark.

The class laughed at Tenten's idiotic appearance and she blushed and sat down glaring at Neji.

Neji seemed to notice and he smirked.

Tenten glared twice as hard and looked in front of the classroom.

As Kakashi is writing on the chalkboard, Tenten saw a paper that was folded. She looked back at Neji who smirked and she read the paper. Guess you have detention with me, what a pity.

Tenten glared at Neji and wrote back. She threw it back at him and Neji read. Same to you. And how dare you say that to your ugh "girlfriend". – xP

Neji smirked and wrote back. Tenten read the note and it said, Even though you're my "girlfriend" doesn't mean I have to treat you like one. - ;P

'WHAT?!? WHAT DID HE SAY?!' Tenten crumpled the piece of paper and threw it in the garbage can and it went in. 'Oh yeah I have mad skills.'

Neji saw the shot Tenten made and was impressed. 'Hnn. Most girls can't even aim it correctly in this school. Very interesting.'

Kakashi's math class was finished and Kakashi yelled out, "Remember Tenten and Neji. You have detention after school right here. And don't you dare think you will ditch this."

"But sensei! I have the girl's basketball tryouts today after school!!!" Tenten whined.

"Well, I'm sorry Tenten, but you have to miss it," Kakashi went on reading his perverted book.

"Argh! It's all your fault Hyuga!" Tenten dashed out of the room to go to her next class.

"Hnn," Neji went to follow Tenten since both of their schedules are the same. 'Why does she make me feel…guilty?'
