Hey everybody. Since it's fanfiction, I feel obligated to write something cool, funny, or interesting. So here goes.
I am ashamed to say that although I have visited countless times, I have only made an account two years ago . Of that time, it has taken me another two years to get a solid and original fanfic idea. And that brings me to now. Needless to say, I am pleased that I finally wrote a complete fanfic chapter. Enjoy! :)
Disclaimer: All characters in this story or the world of Naruto does not belong to me (characters are way too awesome for me to create), but they belong to Masashi Kishimoto.
Summary: Tenten was a pretty successful matchmaker. She easily saw through people, sometimes with the help of her trusty sharp weapons. This earned her a famous reputation. So when Hyuuga Hinata of the rich Hyuuga family came for a love match, she was not surprised.
It was a bright, beautiful day. The sun was warm and inviting, with the gentlest breeze, created only to prevent uncomfortable stickiness.
Children were running about, playing with their friends. Old, experienced couples walked comfortably with their loved spouses. In short, many people were outside, and those inside were pitied.
So why was Tenten, self-proclaimed lover of the outdoors, was stuck inside doing...work of all things? Well, Tenten was changed. She no longer procrastinated (Tenten puffed up her chest a little bit at this), but she did her work consistently. It could also be that Lee promised her these fantastic pair of nunchucks that she had always wanted. The only reason she couldn't get it herself was due to its hefty price.
Anyways, back to the story. Tenten, was inside during this beautiful day, doing her job, of course. Tenten was a matchmaker, and a darn good one too. But she was little more than a locally known success. But this would all change. She looked over her client, Nara Shikamaru.
When she met with him, she thought he was a little...odd to say the least. He preferred watching clouds and playing shogi than meeting a woman! He was like a old man! The only reason he met Tenten was due to this overbearing mother. Nevertheless, Tenten could tell what women would go well with Shikamaru, and had thought of only one of her clients that would be perfect.
The next afternoon, she told Nara Shikamaru to wait at Konoha Park. Shikamaru lied comfortably on top of the grass, and looked at the clouds that always gave him peace. A few minutes passed, and Shikamaru was completely absorbed in the clouds.
That is, until a feisty blonde walked up to him. "Hey," she said,"Are you Nara Shikamaru?" Shikamaru, who was annoyed that someone interrupted him, grunted a confirmation. He then continued gazing at the clouds.
The blonde pursed her lips in annoyance. She was not one to stand for disrespect. He hadn't even spoken to her, and he still managed to piss her off.
"Look, you rude, lazy bastard,"started the blonde,"get up, I'm your date today. Obviously, this was some kind of mistake." Shikamaru looked at her with a bored expression and sighed heavily at her comments. Women are always so troublesome. "What's your name?" He lazily asked. She then introduced herself as Temari no Sabaku.
A year later, Tenten was standing in the tent of Nara Shikamaru and Temari no Sabaku, delivering a speech on how they met: through her. Everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves. They had a cozy and warm private wedding. It was one of Tenten's favorite weddings.
When those two married, Tenten earned a reputation. Nara Shikamaru was the heir to the Nara family, which was rich from selling medicinal ingredients. He also had the IQ of over 200, which meant he was an adviser for some very important people. Temari no Sabaku was the sister of the Kazekage, Gaara no Sabaku, and was a notorious strategist. The only person better was her new husband.
The match of these two people it's had benefits. Shikamaru introduced famous clients, and so did Temari. Pretty soon, she had set up another famous couple.
She set up Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. That wedding was memorable for how dramatic it was. Uchiha Sasuke was a famous commander, who was vital to Konoha. Haruno Sakura was the apprentice of the famous Tsunade, and was on her way to becoming one of the world's leading medics. Their wedding was not small, at all.
It ranged from Sakura's red princess dress to Sasuke's demand that guests wore colors except red and navy blue (so the bride and groom stood out). Their wedding was held at a mansion, and the table centerpieces were huge. Their wedding was screaming wealth and was awe inspiring.
Sakura then introduced Yamanaka Ino to Tenten, where Tenten set her up with Sai. The famous artist with the heir to Yamanaka Flowers. The creative couple, as Tenten liked to say. Ino was a master of ikebana (art of flower arranging) and had a wide variety of medical knowledge, as she was also a pupil of Tsunade. Sai was a famous and popular artist who specialized in painting, especially Japanese paintings. Their weddings had the most beautiful flower decorations Tenten had ever seen, and the most breathtaking colors and paintings on the tent.
These matches landed Tenten in magazines. When people found out that she set up these famous couples, she was launched into fame. There were articles describing Tenten as "a genius matchmaker...the best shot of finding love". Not that Tenten complained, of course. People started asking her for advice. Neighbors who ignored her were trying to bribe her for her matchmaking secrets, for Kami's sakes. Not that she had any.
So when Hyuuga Hinata, the heir to the rich and powerful Hyuuga family, she was not surprised. Tenten looked across at the fidgeting bluette, and sighed. Tenten knew how uncomfortable she was. Her father, Hyuuga Hiashi, practically shoved Hinata with her application into Tenten's office with a second glance. There were always pushy parents, but that had never happened before.
Tenten thought she should at least lift the awkward atmosphere. "So,"Tenten started smoothly,"what do you like to do as a hobby?"
