Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Four Girls and Four Boys Helping Them to Forget ❯ Moving In ( Chapter 1 )

A pink-haired girl sat on a window seat and watched as snowflakes drifted slowly to the ground. It was the first snow fall of the season and everything was now being covered in a blanket of white.

“Sakura?” came a soft voice behind her

The pink-haired girl turned and smiled at her friend. “Hello Hinata.” She then turned her attention back outside.

“Sakura! Stop day dreaming already!” The owner of this voice pierced through Sakura's ears causing her to flinch and once again turn away from the window.

“I wasn't day dreaming, Ino,” she said the loud girl with a long blond ponytail. “You know that I like the snow.”

“You know that Hinata's cousin and his friends are coming to help us move in! So get off your lazy ass and start unpacking!”

“She's right, Sakura,” came yet another voice. “At least get dressed out of your pajamas. It's a bad first impression.”
“You're against me too, Ten-Ten?” Sakura sighed. “And why do I need to get dressed up to unpack? I think sweatpants and a tee shirt is highly appropriate. Who cares how we look anyway? Some stupid boys?”

“We could careless really, but now I think we are offended for being called stupid after offering our help.”

“Neiji!” Hinata ran over to her cousin and gave him a hug.

“Hello, Hinata. Long time no see. How are you?”
“Fine. And you?”

“I'm doing well too.”

“That's good to hear,” she replied smiling. “Now why don't I introduce every one? This is Ino.”

“Hello,” she said greeting them.

“That is Ten-Ten.”

Ten-Ten nodded. “Hi.”

“And she is Sakura,” Hinata said pointing to her.

She didn't reply and just turned back to the window. The girls sighed.

“Nice to meet you all,” Neiji said. “Now I will introduce my friends. To my right is Shikamaru.”

“So troublesome…moving…”

“Next to him is Naruto.”

“Hey girls!” His voice was rather loud and boisterous.

“And to my left is Sasuke.”

He just nodded, staying silent.

“And it is nice to meet you too,” Hinata said bowing slightly.

“What do you want us to do?” Naruto asked mostly to Hinata.

“Well,” Ten-Ten began. “We should pair up so we each have an equal amount of strength.”

“That seems logical,” Neiji said.

“So troublesome…” Shikamaru said, sighing.

“If it's so damn troublesome, why did you even bother to come in the first place!?” Ino said rather loudly.

“…” Shikamaru had no reply.

“That's what I thought,” Ino retorted. “Now let's go!” She led him into a room with all of her boxes while he mumbled about the whole thing being troublesome.

Everyone was silent for a moment, but then Ten-Ten broke the silence. “Well that takes care of them.”

“Naruto?” Hinata said shyly. “Will you help me?”

Everyone stared at her (except Naruto) and even Sakura turned away from the window.

“Sure. No problem. Just show me the way.”

Hinata nodded and led him away.
“Well I certainly do NOT want to be stuck with Sakura, since it seems she's in a bad mood or something, so I will help you Ten-Ten.”

“Whatever,” Sakura said with a hint of anger in her voice.

“Alright. Follow me then.” Ten-Ten led him away as well.

Sakura sighed. “I guess I'm with you, Sasuke.”

“Let's just do this fast. I have other things I have to do.”

“Well so do I. So at least we are on the same page there.” Sakura led him to the room where her boxes currently were as well.

“Umm…you can just put that box over there, Naruto,” Hinata said in a low voice.

Naruto put a large, heavy box down on the floor and then sat on it. “God! That one was heavy!”

“Sorry.” Hinata blushed. “Being on the second floor probably doesn't make it any easier…”

Naruto shook his head. “Definitely not!”

“You can take a break now. I'll start unpacking.”

Naruto nodded in agreement and Hinata began unpacking some of her smaller boxes, pulling out clothes and other things. Naruto watched her becoming very interested in her. “She's quite cute. I guess I hadn't realized at first.” Naruto stood and Hinata turned to him.

“Is everything alright, Naruto?”

“Yes. Just ready to get started again.”

“Okay…well you don't have to bring up any more boxes so…you could help me unpack.”

Naruto nodded and started unpacking a box labeled FRAGILE.

“So how long have you four been friends?” Neiji asked Ten-Ten as he put a box down on her floor.

“Since we were really young,” she replied as she started pulling her sheets and blanket out of a box. “I'm surprised Hinata never mentioned us to you.”

“Well, we never lived close together. This is the first time I have seen her in seven years. We just recently started talking on the phone about two weeks ago.”

“I see.”

“So I guess you guys are really close?”

Ten-Ten nodded. “Yeah. We are inseparable and although we fight sometimes, we are like sisters. I can't imagine being without them.”

“That's good to hear. I'm glad Hinata has such good friends at her side.”

“What about you and the boys? Are you guys close as well?”

“Well, at first, it was just me and Sasuke, but Shikamaru and Naruto became good friends shortly after. Let's see, I think we've all been friends for at least six years. So yes is the answer to your question.”

Ten-Ten smiled at him and continued making her bed.

“This house is so big,” Shikamaru said as he and Ino headed down the hall towards her room. “How did you all afford this?”

“Our parents are paying for it. They are rather wealthy.”

“I see. What do they do?”

“They all are business execs. That's how we all met. Our parents worked together.”

They reached her room and walked in. “You can put that down anywhere you want,” Ino said.

Shikamaru nodded and placed it down gently. “So what made you guys want to move here?”

Ino shrugged and began unpacking. “Could you help me unpack?”

“Sure.” He walked over to her and started unpacking some of her mementos and pictures. All of them were of her and her friends. He placed them on her bed after looking at each one of them. Then he continued unpacking.

Sakura sighed as she placed the final box on her bedroom floor. Her room, unlike the others, was downstairs, but Sakura requested this room so she didn't mind. Sasuke entered as well and placed the box he was carrying next to hers.

“So why did you guys decide to move?”

Sakura didn't answer and began unpacking. “You can leave now.”
Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed. “That's it? Not even a thank you?”

“Sorry. That was rude of me. Thank you. I appreciated your help.” She started unpacking.

Sasuke nodded. “It didn't take as long as I thought it would so it was no problem.”

“Well? I thought you had other things to do earlier?”

“I do and I'm leaving now.” Sasuke did just that and closed her door behind him. “What the hell is her problem? She's not like the other girls at all.” He shrugged. “What do I care? She's a pain in the ass, but she is cute.” He shook himself and left.
