There may be some OOC!

EDIT I combined chapters 1-4 to make one large chapter!

---------------------------

A serene wind blew across the sandy beach, over a forest and towards the slumbering village of Kohona. In the depths of the village, only two young women sat awake unable to sleep. Beneath the silver moon, two wishes were made. Unbeknownst to both of the teenagers, their wish was to be granted. For a silver moon represented, fulfilled hope, and eternal love.

-------------------

The next morning, all the teams had the day off meaning it was time for some fun.

Ino, Hinata, Sakura and Tenten were sitting in a park having a picnic on their girls' day outing. Ino was chatting with Hinata as Tenten and Sakura lie on the blanket staring in at the clouds.

"I know what we could do next!" said Ino.

"What?" asked Tenten snapping out of her trance.

"Well, on the way here today, I passed a new fortune telling place that tells fortunes by the two! Let's go get our fortunes told!" exclaimed Ino happily.

All the girls nodded and cleaned up their area before leaving for their next destination.

---------------

Silver Moon, the fortune telling place was fairly empty when the girls arrived. The waiting room was very pretty. Silver and Gold stars covered the dark purple walls as a chandelier hung from about giving the room a source of light. There was a veil over a door opposite the door the girls had entered from.

They had to wait about five minutes before their turns.

" Oh! We have to get into pairs of two! How about Hinata and I and Sakura and Tenten?" said Ino.

"Okay." agreed the other girls.

Ino and Hinata entered past the dark veil first.

After about ten minutes, the two girls came out slightly flustered. Tenten and Sakura entered next with slight nervousness obvious in their actions.

"Welcome to my domain. I am Madame Yume. Please be seated." said the mysterious figure sitting on the other side of the table.

The girls took a seat across from the fortuneteller.

"Please extend your right hand on the table." asked the Madame Yume.

The girls did as they were told.

Madame Yume closed her eyes with one of each of the girls hand within one of hers and said,

" Two women, beautiful as the flowers of the spring. You both want to melt the ice that resides within two different men's heart. They are both beautiful but broken. Try as you might you won't achieve anything alone. Join together and bring the joy of spring back into their hearts."

----------------------

The girls were silent as they walked toward the bustling mall. Tenten and Sakura separated with Ino and Hinata. The girls were going to buy something daring, very unlike themselves.

Ino immediately pulled Hinata into Forever 21. Poor Hinata couldn't say no to Ino.

Tenten and Sakura walked around until Sakura spotted something. She pulled Tenten into the store and grabbed a dress, a mini skirt , tank top and Tenten and stuffed them all into a fitting room before going out to look for more clothes for Tenten occasionally squealing at a particularly cute item.

After about an hour of picking and trying on, Sakura was happy with her choices for Tenten.

Tenten was dressed in a midnight blue one strapped knee length dress. Black 3 inch stilettos with rhinestones adorned her feet and a silver charm bracelet on her wrist.

"How Cute!" exclaimed Sakura.

Tenten just frowned.

After a bit of convincing on Sakura's part, Tenten bought and wore the attire out of the store.

"It's my turn…" muttered Tenten before dragging Sakura into yet another store.

Tenten, Ino and Hinata were the only ones who new about Sakura's promise to herself about wearing modest clothing. Tenten, however, was going to make Sakura forget this promise.

One Hour Later------------------

"NO WAY AM I GOING TO WEAR THIS IN PUBLIC!" shouted Sakura.

Tenten sighed from outside the dressing room door.

"Sakura, it's only fair now get out here!" replied Tenten.

Pouting to herself, Sakura unlocked the dressing room door and stepped out.

"Perfect." said Tenten admiring her work.

Sakura was wearing a crimson off shoulder ankle length dress that long slits up the sides and golden fans decorating the front. Tenten believing that Sakura should endure some pain had her wear the exact same stilettos as herself.

After some persuading, Sakura and Tenten walked out of the store with Sakura sporting the new outfit.

Finding Hinata wearing a violet spaghetti strapped dress with sliver butterflies on it and Ino wearing a white strapless dress decorated with roses on it, the girls left the mall eager to start dancing in the night clubs.

Club Mystic was famous for its music and masks. Every person that entered the club wore a mask given to them by the club.

Upon entering the girls each got a mask to match their outfits, Tenten with a blue mask, Sakura with a red mask, Hinata with a purple one and Ino wearing a white one.

Swiftly finding a table, the girls sat down before Ino went to buy drinks.

At a near by table sat five men dressed in white shirts and black slacks each sporting a white mask.

"Hey Naruto! I bet you can't get a girl to dance with you tonight." said an enthusiastic Lee.

"Haha! That's what you think! I bet I could get the prettiest girl here to dance with me." replied Naruto.

"How troublesome." said Shikamaru out of the blue.

"…" said Neji, and Sasuke.

'How did I get into this? Oh yea Lee. Fate must still hate me.' though Neji to himself.

"It's a bet then the man who gets the prettiest girl to hang out with them tonight wins!" said Lee.

"Hn…" replied Neji and Sasuke.

----------------

----------------

By now the girls had separated and were dancing and mingling with whomever asked to dance with them.

Naruto and Lee were running amuck looking for the prettiest girl within the club. Shikamaru, Sasuke and Neji were sitting at the table as a few slutty girls came to their table to try their luck with the handsome mystery men.

"Well Hello Handsome." purred one of the five sluts.

"May we join you tonight?" asked another bending over the table showing way too much cleavage.

The three men stayed silent.

The women took this as a yes and lazily sat down, but as there were only 5 chairs three were left standing. Before long, the three women that remained standing had found seats in the laps of the ninjas.

All three men grunted as weight was added upon them. Before they could shove the women off, a blood-curling scream was issued from the middle of the dance floor making them jump from their seats.

Everyone was at a standstill until they heard a tremendous 'Thwack' and a wave of chakra washed over them.

Knowing that it was a ninja that released that slap, Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru casually left the table and wove their way into the center of the dance floor.

By the time they reached the center, the dancing had resumed and the person who had released the chakra had left leaving an unconscious man in their wake. Unbeknownst to them however, the person that released the chakra was none other than Hinata.

Hinata herself was crying in the women's restroom and was being comforted by Tenten, Ino and Sakura.

"Hinata-chan! Are you alright?" asked Tenten worriedly.

"I'm fine." Choked Hinata through sobs.

"What happened?" asked Sakura.

Hinata started to sob louder, so Ino told Sakura the story.

" Well, apparently the guy Hinata was dancing with has a total pervert. He tried to get his hands down her dress, so Hinata backed away but then the guy grabbed her wrist and held her back. So Hinata did the smartest thing, she gave him a chakra filled slapped. Thanks for teaching us by the way, it does come in handy."

"Oh… Well your welcome and Hinata, feel better! The slap you gave that guy has to have him unconscious for a couple days." said Sakura trying her best to make Hinata feel better.

"You're right, Sakura-san." said Hinata as the tears stopped.

The girls freshened up before leaving the restroom and reentering the club.

The girls once again separated. Hinata found herself walking toward the roof of the building.

She let out a sigh as she was greeted by the starry sky. Sitting down, she stared at the stars before a stranger came to sit beside her.

"Hi!" said the man.

"…Um…Hello…" answered Hinata.

"What are you doing here?"Asked the man.

"I would ask you the same question sir."

"Ano…Sir? Who me?"

"Yes you." giggled Hinata.

The stranger's eyes shone as he looked at Hinata. Beneath the stars and silver moon, the man looked so trustworthy but Hinata knew better than that.

Suddenly the bouncy music that was echoing throughout the building became a slow song.

The man stood up and bowed to Hinata before asking, "May I have this dance?"

Giggling, Hinata accepted and was swept into a slow graceful dance.

The stars twinkled merrily as they watched the couple dance because they knew of the couple's future. After all the stars know all.

-----------------------------------

Ino sat and watched the crowd from her barstool. Tenten and Sakura had been asked to dance and having accepted the invitations, they left Ino.

Sighing to herself, she quoted her lazy teammate, "How troublesome…"

Then the bartender tapped her, pointed to a handsome young man and said, "The drink's from him."

Thanking the bartender, Ino picked up the drink and walked over to the guy.

Unknown to Ino however, she had walked over to the wrong guy.

-------------------------------

-----------------------------------

Ino sauntered over to the mystery man, and whispered into his ear, "Thanks for the drink."

The man looked up and seemingly saw an angel. He sharply inhaled before sighing. He knew he didn't buy her a drink but before he could tell the woman that, she had literally dragged him to the dance floor.

On the dance floor, Ino danced with the mysterious stranger until the man asked for a break. Ino complied and the new couple headed for the bar.

Ordering a drink, Ino turned to face her mystifying partner.

"How troublesome…" said the male.

Realization dawn upon Ino's face as she finally took note of the man's appearance.

Brown hair tied in a ponytail that made his head look like a pineapple, a slouched posture and a not so great body.

"Shikamaru?" asked Ino.

"Huh? How do you know my name?" inquired Shikamaru.

Ino was aware that the genius didn't recognize her.

A couple of months ago, Ino had gotten over Sasuke and realized that she had feelings for her lazy teammate.

A plan was quickly devised within Ino's mind and she smiled as she replied to Shikamaru, " Oh, I've heard of you as the genius from some of my ninja friends. By the way, my name is Hikari."

---------------------------

Sasuke sat at a table idly watching the dancers on the dance floor. His eyes landed on a familiar pink head girl dancing with a suspicious looking brown haired man to the upbeat music. Taking no further action, he just sat and watched them, until the man grabbed Sakura by her waist and pulled her a little too close for Sasuke's liking. Sakura paid no attention to this and kept on dancing.

When the song ended, Sakura and the man stayed on dance floor as a slow song started. The man took Sakura's hand and pulled her so close there was no space in-between them.

"Hiroshi, can you loosen your grip? I need some space…" said Sakura stepping back.

The man, Hiroshi, just grinned and pulled her even closer.

Nearby, Sasuke was fuming and began to make his way toward the dancing couple.

"May I cut in?" asked Sasuke testily.

"No way bro. She's mine." said Hiroshi releasing Sakura and pushing the masked Sasuke away.

"Who ever said I was yours?" asked Sakura angrily.

Before Hiroshi could answer, he received a chakra filled punch courtesy of Sakura.

She turned to Sasuke and said," Yes, you may cut in because my partner was a jerk."

Sasuke smirked as he took Sakura's hand and led her to another part of the dance floor.

Another slow song started and Sasuke danced with Sakura without a word.

When the song ended, Sakura murmured a "Thank you." and left towards one of the club's many balconies.

With nothing else to do, Sasuke followed his pink haired teammate.

Sakura sighed as she leaned off the edge of the empty balcony.

Sasuke remained in the shadows behind her until she said, "Hey, I know you're there. Show yourself."

"Oh you were the guy I was dancing with. What do you want?" asked Sakura turning to face Sasuke emerging from the shadows.

Receiving no reply, Sakura turned her back on him and looked up to the moon.

Sasuke moved so that he was beside Sakura.

Neither spoke a word until a shooting star passed above them in the night sky.

"Make a wish." said Sakura firmly before shutting her eyes to make her own wish.

'I wish for Sasuke's heart to melt of its iciness.' thought Sakura.

Sasuke didn't make a wish. He thought it was too childish.

"Why do you believe in that? Wishing upon a shooting star?" asked Sasuke.

Sakura giggled and said." Why wouldn't I?"

"…" was Sasuke's reply.

"You know you remind me of my teammate, Sasuke-kun. Not many words but many worries." said Sakura.

"Hn." Sasuke.

Sakura just sighed and resumed her stargazing.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked onto the balcony and grabbed Sakura.

"Hey honey, you're pretty. How about a night with me? I'll pay you good." said the man pulling Sakura into a hug.

Smelling the alcohol on his breath, Sakura tried to get away but his grip was too strong.
