Ok, Ino was getting really suspicious. THREE people from school had come in the shop. THREE! One of them still slept in the back. *Shikamaru shure is lazy today* Ino thought. He had been back there for HOURS!
The door chimed for the fourth time. "Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower Shop. I'm Yamanaka Ino. Just tell me if you need any help." Ino recited for the FOURTH time today. Thankfully, she got some money for all this. She went back to reading her magazine because she was CERTAIN that she didn't know whoever THIS TIME. She smiled to herself and thought *Wow, allot of boys today. Usually girls come in. Where are the girls, I wonder.*

Tenten walked in to the Yamanaka Flower shop. When the heck had she ever been in here? Who knows. She wasn't exactly the kind of girl to go into a flower shop in the first place. But, she needed some new flowers to replace the ones that had ended up dying in her living room.
She looked up and over to the counter where she saw Ino, the Sophmore from her school at the counter. Tenten walked by her and over to a display case of flowers. As she bent down to look at a patch, she greeted her. "Hey Ino." Was all she simply said.

Ino looked down. "Hi Tenten! Can I help you with anything?" she said. She was kind of happy that a girl finally came into the shop. She was starting to think that it was a special day for the boys or she had missed Valentine's day or something. She knew that Tenten was kind of a tomboy and knew that she wasn't the kind of girl who would be buying roses for a boy. If she was, Ino assumed it was Neji.

Tenten stood and shrugged. She continued to look around. "Mm, not really. Just looking I guess." Even though Tenten wasn't the most girly person ever-thank god-she did always like the smell of flowers. She found herself walking over to a group of lillies. She looked over to Ino. "How much for a few of these?" She asked. As she turned around to look at her, she saw some roses too. The flower of love. Always so romantic She thought. She often saw guys giving girls flowers at school. She let herself gaze at the petales before turning back to Ino.

Ino couldn't help but notice Tenten gazing at the roses. *I was soooo right!!! It's for Neji! I know it!* She didn't want to be so foreword with Tenten so she just said, "Ah, roses! I bet a certain member or the Hyuuga clan would like that." she winked to Tenten and said "Yellow with red means more than friends". She felt so weird! Ino had never played matchmaker before.

Tenten looked to Ino strangely. She felt her face start to get red. "W-Wait a second now. What the heck are you talking about?" She turned and pointed to the lillies. "I wanted those. For my house..." She shook her head ressisting an on coming glare towards Ino. How in the world Hyuuga Neji ended up in the conversation, she had no idea.

Ino winked. "Riiiiight" she said in an unconvinced way. She then looked at the lilies. She said "Might I suggest Tiger Lilies?" Ino had always preferred tiger lilies over lilies of the valley. She smiled and said quietly to herself "I bet she CAME for roses but is too nervous to admit it." Ino then stood up and grabbed one yellow rose with red on the tips of the pedals. She then attached a note to it. The note's envelope said "Tenten" and then there was a second note attached to it that she didn't put a name on. She thought that She would just give it to Tenten when she purchased the flowers and wouldn't charge her for it.

Still slightly flushed and a tad bit frustrated with the blonde girl, Tenten shook her head and stood up as well. She sighed as she walked over to the counter. She watched as Ino did something with the yellow and red flower. Oh man, what did she say that was for? She asked herself. Friends...? Uh no, She couldn't remember. What was she writing on that card? Tenten was tempted to take it and read it. Instead, she took out her wallet and sighed again. "How much for the lillies?" She asked with her head down to the money in her hand.

Ino smiled and said "That will be 50 ryou, Tenten!" She smiled as Tenten handed her the Ryou and then showed her which lilies. She Took the lilies out of the Yamanaka Flower Shop vase and put them in a small, crystal vase. It looked lovely. As she put the lilies in the vase, she slipped the rose with the notes into the vase in the back. She knew that Tenten would find it Eventually. She also said "Thanks for choosing the Yamanaka Flower Shop!" As Tenten went to leave the shop, Ino said "Oh! Hyuuga-kun was here earlier. He bought a rose." She winked once more and smiled as she watched Tenten carefully.

Tenten quietly handed Ino the money. And she watched quietly as Ino took out the lillies she had bought and put them into a small vase. It looked very nice actually. It made her smile just a little bit. She took the vase not really looking at it-she didn't think she needed too. "Yep. No problem." She said turning around and heading towards the door. She stopped though when she heard Ino again. Her face turned red again as she slowly turned around. Neji? Neji bought a rose? That was one of the biggest things of the year right there. Tenten didn't believe her. "He did?" She said not moving from her spot.

Ino smiled, "Yes! He was in earlier! First, Shikamaru came in. He's still asleep in the back. Then, Neji came in. He bought a rose! Then Sasuke came in! He bought a dozen red roses but I know they weren't meant for any girl our age because he was all solemn about it. Well anyway, Neji came in. He said He was going to give it to someone too!" She smiled at Tenten. She saw how interested Tenten was and knew instantly that she liked him. This was shear prof of her theory! This is the kind of thing Ino LIVED for- gossip on other people's relation ships. Especially when it came to people in her school.

Tenten still kept her place. She was listening but she didn't look at Ino. Shikamaru Right. He was that lazy kid from Ino's grade. And everyone knew Sasuke. Strange that he of all people was in a flower shop. And Neji. That's right up there with Sasuke. She told herself to relax. What are you thinking Tenten. You could care less. She turned and smiled to Ino. "Well that's good for him I guess. I don't really care about Neji's personal life."

Ino gave an unconvinced glare to Tenten. "If you don't care then why did you act so Interested when I said so?" This would be a surefire way to stump her. She knew that Tenten had the hots for Neji. *Why Won't she admit it? Maybe she's afraid of losing her tomboy rep? Maybe she's afraid of rejection, Maybe she's afraid of me! I guess I'll never know*Ino thought to herself. She eyed Tenten who was becoming tense. Ino had made her sweat! EW! Well Ino didn't care! It's good to investigate if she wanted all the good fresh-from-the-source gossip!

Uuuuh, Good question. Tenten mentally smacked herself. She didn't care. No she didn't. She should had just said 'Ok, whatever. See you in the halls' and left. What was she thinking? She looked to Ino and shrugged. "Cause I've known him for such a long time. Hyuuga Neji? He isn't the one to be in a flower shop let a lone buy a flower. It just surprised me is all." She explained. Inside, she smirked. Ha, take that for an answer Miss. Gossip.

Ino liked a challenge. "Oh. Well then you wouldn't care to know the person he said he might give it to." Ino shrugged and looked down at her magazine quickly. She smiled to herself. *Just come quietly, Tenten! There is no need to fight the source! I need to know! Just come on out and tell me! I'll keep it a secret! I just want to be in the know! Not spread the know! I like the feeling of knowing more than Sakura at SOMETHING and that thing has to be stuff like who likes who, who started dating, who dumped who and all other forms of gossip! JUST COME OUT AND TELL ME ALREADY!!! Please?*
As she thought all of this, her expression didn't change. It stayed solid and blank.
