Boys

At the BBQ restaurant

Ino, Sakura, Tenten, and Hinata are sitting at their table in the BBQ restaurant. The girls are chatting about many random things. That's when Hinata, of all people, asks the other girls why they don't have boyfriends yet.

"Well, I'm waiting for Sasuke," stated Sakura.

"Sasuke came back a year ago and is already cleared of all the charges, but nice try at an excuse anyway," said Ino.

"What about you, Ino. I thought boys would've been lined up around the corner," said Tenten.

"She's the head interrogator in ANBU," said Hinata in Ino's defense.

"So, Sakura is the head medical nin of Konaha," stated Tenten.

As Hinata and Tenten were arguing, Sakura and Ino looked at each other.

"You know, Forehead, I guess that I really have no excuse, except that I want him to ask me," Ino said.

"You're right, Pig girl, me too," agreed Sakura.

Sakura and Ino grinned evilly at what they both were thinking of next. They spoke together, "What about you two?"

"You're arguing over us, what about the fact that you guys don't have boyfriends either?" asked Sakura.

"Don't blame it on work either because Forehead and I have more work than either of you two," stated Ino.

"Plus, we plan on asking our guys tomorrow."

"Hai. Hai," Tenten and Hinata agreed.

The next day

"Hey, how did it go?" asked Sakura.

Ino hung her head. This made Sakura fear for the worse. She ran over by Ino.

"Hey, it's okay," Sakura said reassuringly.

"I'm so lame," said Ino," So, I walked up to Shika. I'm about to tell him my feelings, when one of my ANBU guys says that I need to go report on the mission I just got back from. Then when I returned, the lazy bastard was still there, just staring up at the sky."

"Then what?"

"Then, I was so nervous that I started to stutter. Anyway, it ended up with me throwing him across the training field when he said, and I quote, "Tr-tr-troublesome."

Sakura bursts out laughing. Ino glares at her. Then Hinata shows up on the verge of tears.

"I-I-I r-ran away," she sobbed.

"What!?"

"I went t-to the ramen stand. Then Kiba showed up with Shino. Kiba s-started to fire questions at me (sob) about why I was there," after a deep breath she continues, "I was so scared that I ran away."

"Don't worry, Hina-chan, I failed, too," Ino said in a comforting tone.

They all went to the BBQ restaurant, when Tenten came running up.

"That, that, that BASTARD!" Tenten screamed.

"What happened?" They all asked, a little worried.

"Alright, so we started to train as usual. I got ride of Lee and Gai fairly quick. It was just Neji and me. So during our break, I walked up to tell him when he asks, 'I saw you sighing a lot, is there something wrong?' I told him no and I just wanted to tell him something. For this last statement he is a bastard, he said, 'What is it, are you on your period.' The genius didn't even notice the tree branch until it hit him when I left." Finally a sigh came from Tenten as if she was relieved.

"God we're lame."

"Wait. What about you and Sasuke?" asked Ino with a wicked grin.

"He's in the hospital. Heh heh," said Sakura trying to act innocent.

"What happened?" None of the girls really seemed surprised.

"He came to the hospital while I was on duty. He walked straight up to me. I swear that my heart stopped. He grabbed my hands in his strong, firm grip. I couldn't breath. At least I got enough air to tell him I had to talk to him. I told him to go first. He squatted down to be my height (she's in a chair). As he looked into my eyes, he said, 'Will you talk Tsunade into letting me go on higher ranked missions again.' Let's just say that my happy moment went away fast. So I snatched my hands away and…"

"And… what?" said Ino.

"And I punched him. He went through about 9 or 10 walls. That is when I stomped out of there until I ran into Ino."

All the girls sighed, hung their heads, and said, "We're so lame."
