"Bye, Hinata! Bye, Naruto! You two better behave!!!" Kiba yelled as he waved enthusiastically at the duo who were waving back with matching smiles whilst Akamaru howled in the same energy.

"-And don't forget to-!" Sakura cut herself off and sighed in defeat "Nevermind... I should've told Hinata instead of Naruto"

"Correct. Why?" Shino said "Because Naruto would not remember all the procedures and information"

"Call me crazy, but..." Sai started "Based on all of the magazines I have borrowed from beautiful... I'm pretty sure that Hinata and dickless are dating"

Both Sakura and Kiba raised a finger and opened their mouths to tell him off, only to stop as they did think about it.

"Come to think of it..." Sakura said as she rubbed her chin "I don't think I can prove you wrong, Sai..."

"Yeah" Kiba nodded "Now that you said it, I noticed Hinata never told me anything about their status... That's technically not lying, right? But it technically is, too... But Hinata wouldn't keep anything from us, right Shino?"

"Knowing Hinata, she won't tell until she's forced" Shino said "Why? Because Hinata does not like attention from mass people, if everyone knows about their status, she would get swarmed and maybe even harassed, that is, she thinks she would be"

"Yeah, and knowing Naruto," Sakura said as she placed a hand on her hip "When Hinata says that, he'd get paranoid and agree almost immediately. But he's also an unstoppable guy, so that may explain their unintentional... PDA, even if they agreed to keep it a secret..."

Sai gave his usual forced smile and said "Would not it only be fair that we, their beloved and most treasured best friends, know if they indeed are dating?"

"What are you saying?" Kiba asked as he gave Sai a judgemental stare "If Hinata doesn't want to tell us, I'm cool with that, I respect! She doesn't want to talk, don't talk"

"Well..." Sakura turned slowly with a mischievous look "We don't need to ask them..."

"Hm..." Kiba then had the same look on his face "Are you suggesting we-"

"Invade their privacy?" Shino asked, Sakura gave him a quirky smile as she clapped her hands together "Y... Yeah?"

Sai then said "Alright, I'm in"

"Now that they're gone..." Shikamaru smirked as he laid down on the couch and put Mirai on his stomach, he bounced her lightly as he said in a cooing tone "We can actually sleep, right, Mirai? Naruto and Hinata are so troublesome, very troublesome..!"

"Don't say that, Shikamaru" Kurenai laughed as she folded tiny clothes, making him yawn and say "Well, I'm right. If Naruto's not here, there's no one screaming around the village, and if Hinata's not here, he won't even have a reason to scream here"

"Well-" "KURENAI-SENSEI!!!!"

"Baba! Tino!" Mirai squealed excitedly as she started slapping Shikamaru's face, making him groan and say "I forgot about Kiba..."

"Oh, Sakura, Sai, you guys are here, too" Kurenai said with a welcoming smile, as if Kiba's entrance was normal. Poor door. "If you four are looking for Hinata and Naruto, they're actually on a mission"

"We know. Actually, sensei, we came here to ask you something..." Sakura said as she scratched her cheek "You see, we wanted to know something about Naruto and Hinata..."
