Chapter one: Ryuu
Tenten pulled her pack from under the bed jerking it up she dropped it open on the bed. Walking to the closet she formed a pile tops and bottoms. Pulling the cleanest looking ones she threw them in the bag with undies and a bra or two. " that should do it."
She zipped up the bag and slung it over her shoulder.walking out the house door she called to her roomates, " bye , mission be back sometime."
Heading down the street toward neji's she thought about their mission.
It was to be a normal get a scroll come back that was sposed to be it. Some stupid scroll. She sighed, she had a lot better things she could be doing than this. Sleeping is one.
It took barely no time at all before she reached the house. Opening the big door she went into the compound. She was greeted.
"is neji in his room?" she asked to the lady in the front.
"yes. He should be leaving quick here."
"thanks." She troted down the walkway to his room. " hi hinata." She smiled to the young shinobi walking opposite her.
"hye, tenten." Hinata also smiled but kept walking. They werent really friends nor did they talk much but they still where nice to each other.
She raised a hand to knock on the door. " come in." a voice said from inside.
She pushed the door open closing it behind her when she entered. "ready?" she questioned.
"not yet.", he put a few more items in his bag. " ok." He stood up to face her.
past him she could see an open drawer. hmm... a boxers guy…she shook the thought away, com'on tenten she coached herself keep your headstraight, this is neji your teammate, you cant think that about him! (mentally slaps herself.)
" let's go." She turned toward the door opening it they made their way out of the compound to the edge of town.
"got everything."
"yep." Tenten said with a smile.
Heading out they began a short mission. Silence. She suddenly found herself wishing rock lee wasn't away on mission with gai.
He was normally the one talking so now it just felt empty without a voice there.
"so…"
neji didn't answer. She made a small coughing noise hopeing to get a response that way. Still nothing.
"neji ." said quietly under her breath.
He stopped on the next branch turning to look at her. " hn." Tenten was startled a little.
"a… what you do make of this assignment?"
"should be easy."
They started up again. Silence again fell to them. Reaching the city that contained the scroll the proceeded to walk the streets.
It smelled like dumplings on everystreet.so good. She thought to herself.
"we should get food, before we go anymore."
"where too?" she smiled happily at the thought of food.
"I don't care."
"you pick I always do." She giggled.
"there." He pointed to a random shop.
"ok let's go." She grabbed his arm and pulled him to a stool.sitting down she looked up at the menu. " mmm…. Minso soup."
"what?"
"sorry thinking out loud, I do it a lot." She giggled, getting the waiter's attention they ordered.
" what do you think lee and gai are doing right now?"
"being hyper." He was molotone, the lack of emotion didn't seem to depress her though, she found it a breath of fresh air to her rather random words and crazy deminer.
"most likely." She giggled.
He looked at her with a sort of tilty head glance and a bit of a smirk.
"what is it did I say something wrong?" she asked a bit worried.
" no."
"then whats with the face?" she pointed to him.
"what face."
"that face." She giggled again still pointing to him.
"I don't have a weird look."
"yes you do." She tapped his nose with her finger causeing him to be slightly taken back. She giggled at this reaction. He smirked again.
"now your just doing it on purpose." She crossed her arms to her chest.
"no." he looked away.
"yes you are." She giggled again. ( she giggled a lot. She thought being serious was a waste of time, engery was better spent enjoying life.)
"here you go, two soups for the lovely couple." The man set the food in front of them.
Tenten felt her cheeks heating up. " we are…" she blushed more unable to finish her sentence.
"we arent dating." Neji said cooly but the normall molotone wasn't there emotion showed in his voice.
"could have fooled me." The man smiled whipin ghis hands on a towel attached to his waist. "anyway you two enjoy." He walked back toward the kitchen.
"well im glad your not taken kitten." They turned around to see a boy leaning against the wall there.
"who are you talking too?" tenten asked him.
"you of course kitten."
"keep walking." Neji said coldly, tenten felt a chill from the words, but still managed a glare to him of equal value to a how rude remark.
"my name isnt kitten." She stirred her soup with a spoon. Then blew on it before swallowing a big gulp, the warm liquid felt nice to her throat.
"what is it then?" sh eturned back surprised at the boy's intrest.
"tenten." She smiled. Before putting more soup in her mouth.
" nice name kitten."
"its tenten." Neji said. He defensiveness surprised tenten.
"my bad," raising his hands in defense to neji , then laughing him off.
"who are you?" she asked.
"Ryuu." He said calmly, before sitting next to her in a stool on opposite side of neji.
He had brown hair that layed over his headband and she thought his eyes where also brown but didn't feel like taking time to look more and be sure. He wore black pants and a white sleeveless t-shirt. On one arm you could see a red tatoo it looked like a dragon coming out of smoke she had to admitt it was fairly cool.
"nice name." She turned back to her soup.
" so you busy tomarrow?" he smiled watching her face intently.
She blushed unsure why. " im on mission from my country" sorry she tilted her band to him.
"and?"
"that means she's busy."
"neji." She turned to him quickly surprised at her own tone with him.
" don't mean to cause any fights."
"your fine." Neji gritted his teeth waiting for tenten to turn away from him her stare made him feel hottershe had an evil glare.
"so what about they day after that." He stood up behind her leaning over her.
"busy sorry, I should be leaving here soon."
" yes we should get going." Neji stood up to leave.
" your right." she got up to leave pasisng by Ryuu.
"stay for a while longer come on." He pulled her back by her arm.
"I need to go."
He whispered to her ear, " leave the stiff behind." His finger moved up to her collar trailing down it, " we can go do something." It trailed to the top button pulling it lose.
She reacted quickly throwing him into the wall and pinning him their with a kunai. He dangled.
"you pig!" she shouted. Stomping off toward neji. They walked off leaving him hanging attached to the wall.
A few blocks later.
"do you think I was to hard on him?" she asked stopping in the street.
"no,"
"are you sure?"
"why are you doubting your actions now?" he looked at her.
" its just." She was watching the ground. " he was the first guy who ever, made any passes at me…and."
She looked up he was right in front on her. she caught her breath. He expertly buttoned the top button that the other had undone.
She was caught in his eyes, the moon colored pools always facinated her but she had never seen tehm this close to her before. He broke contact walking do the street again.
When she came back to reality she was sweating slightly and blushing she felt form head to toe.
"here it is." They walked into a small shop.
"hi sir do you have this scroll." She handed him a paper on which tusande had scribbled the title.
"not anymore.im sorry ." the keeper shock his head.
"what happened to the one you had?" tenten asked somewhat confused.
" well I gave it to my brother's son." He paused. " for a birthday gift. but he might trade it to you guys-." He was cut off.
"for a price." Ryuu was twirling a kunai in the air and catching it again, the scroll was hooked to his belt.
"o- there you are I wondered where you went this morning." He turned to tenten and neji. " let me intruduce you to Ryuu."
" o shit." Neji breathed under his breath.
