I only wrote this cause I was bored. In this first chapter Sakura is a little OC
The forest was deadly quiet. Neji stood in the center of a clearing. Tenten smirked hidden atop the trees, as she pulled a thin wire.
"Byakugan!" muttered Neji as he activated his blood trait. Kunai were shot at him from every possible angle "Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin!" Neji spun blasting away all the weapons. "Alright Tenten lets take a break"
A voice could be heard from the distance getting louder, Neji and Tenten looked over to see a pink blur coming at them with a dust cloud behind it.
"Tenten!" Sakura shouted as she raced at them and tackled Tenten into a hug. "Why didn't you tell me it's your birthday?" As Tenten tried to wrestle Sakura off, Neji couldn't help but feel like a bad friend, for he too had forgotten her birthday.
"I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want to make a big deal about it"
"Well tough cause I'm throwing you a party. We can invite your team, my team, Hinata and her team, Ino and her team, and we can get Temari and her brothers too."
"You see this is what I'm talking about!" shouted Tenten. Neji put his hand on Tenten's shoulder and pointed out to Tenten that it was too late. Sakura had gotten lost in her own world.
"Is that you Sakura?" peeped a voice. Lee had been working on his practice dummy when he heard a voice. He left his post and rustled through the bushes.
"Lee look out!" But it was too late; Lee had stepped on a wire for Tenten's traps for Neji. Kunai shot out at Lee from all angles. Neji jumped in front of Lee and used his heavenly spin to save Lee. Once the commotion was over, Lee opened his eyes
"Thank you Neji, I'm surprised I wasn't-" However in mid sentence the upper half of Lee's jumpsuit disintegrated into many small strands. "Harmed...Damnit Neji that was my favorite jumpsuit!"
"Hnn, just be glad your pants are in tact." Retorted Neji with an evil smirk. Sakura could only stare in awe for underneath that horrid spandex Lee's body was perfectly chizzled. Lee quickly caught her staring, unaware at what.
"Are you OK Sakura?" Sakura turned away, hiding her blush.
"Yes Lee I'm fine"
"Ok, well anyway, Neji! We are off to see Gai sensei there you can pay him for the new jumpsuit I'm going to need" Neji only nodded and they both jumped into the trees with ninja speed.
"OK I think they're gone, now Sakura you can fool Lee and Neji but you can't fool me" smirked Tenten "I saw that look in your eyes. And the fact you were just drooling over him" Sakura only covered her cheeks as her blush grew. Tenten smiled, she hadn't seen Sakura this happy since Sasuke was still around.
⌠Maybe you could pursue this crush of yours at my party?■ offered Tenten. Sakura lit up like a bulb "The party! I'd almost forgotten!" Sakura grabbed Tenten by the wrist and dashed into town
"OK I can do this" thought Hinata. She stood in front of the ramen bar, watching Naruto engulf his 5th bowl. She just stood in front of the entrance, knees buckled, fidgeting with her pointer fingers. Temari sat across the street, with her eyes glued on her watch.
"Hinata we've been here for almost 5 minuets!" Temari only sighed, having Hinata this close to Naruto was sadly the most progress made since Temari offered to help the poor girl. Dragging her feet, Hinata slid closer and closer toward Naruto "I know I can do this..."
Sakura and Tenten came racing through town, spotting Hinata and Temari they separated. Sakura ran by, grabbing Hinata by the wrist and kept running. Temari saw this, and ran along side Tenten. Sakura's speed caused a gust to follow her, blowing through the ramen bar. Naruto turned toward the entrance, but no one was there. He only shrugged and kept eating.
The last place they went was Ino's flower shop. Once Sakura told her that they were throwing Tenten a birthday party, she closed early so they could start planning.
"OK so who's going to come to this?" asked Ino.
"Well, obviously the five of us are going, along with Neji...and Lee" said Tenten nudging Sakura's shoulders. The image of Lee's chest flashed back into Sakura's mind, causing her to become flustered but tried to chance the subject before anyone noticed, especially Ino
"Uh, hey Hinata we could definitely invite Naruto" Hinata smiled "Yes, and p-perhaps Kiba and Sh-Shino" "Don't forget Choji and Shikamaru" cheered Ino. Tenten nodded to all of the suggestions.
"Well if Shikamaru's coming, I'll have to wear something nice and sexy" said Temari striking a pose, and then giggling. "Back off Shikamaru's mine!" screamed Ino "I don't see your name on him! LITTLE girl, he needs a girl with a little bit more-" Striking another pose "-Sex appeal" "What ever GRANDMA! I know him better than anyone, he'll be putty in my hands while you try and hide your wrinkles!"
While Tenten and Hinata tried to pull the two girls off each other, Sakura was lost in though "Maybe I should get something nice to wear for Lee too." Even though what ever she would end up wearing, Lee would think if beautiful and youthful. When she first met him, she found his optimism and quirky habits annoying and weird. But over time she learned to tolerate them and soon admire them. Lee was always so passionate about what he did and never gave up. He was always polite and cheerful, something Sasuke wasn't. "Still though, I should get something sexy"
"Ok people, the party's going to be at eight, so that give us plenty of time to tell the guys, and get something for ourselves" The girls all nodded and went their separate ways.
Lee strutted down the street happily, with Neji beside him, eyes closed with a small smile. "Ahh this is much better! A brand new jumpsuit, so very flexible and breathable. I supose every cloud has a silver lining"
"Or a green lining" Neji said still walking forward but Lee stood in shock "Neji? You...made a joke. You must be in a good mood"
"Yes, I suppose I am Lee." Lee smiled and kept walking.
Tenten and Sakura appeared in front of them "Neji, I too am in a good mood now, for I have been blessed with getting to see the beautiful ms Sakura Haruno twice in one day." Sakura became flustered again but Tenten spoke up.
"Hey you guys we're having my birthday party at my house tonight at eight, can you guys make it?" Neji nodded. Lee however picked Tenten up by her hips and lifted her up "I had almost forgotten my dear friend Tenten is becoming a woman now. I would never miss a monumental event" As he spun her around "She's only turning 20 Lee, put her down" muttered Neji (the rookies, Gaara and Kankuro are 19, Team Gai and Temari are 20)
"Well none the less I am looking forward to it, once Neji and I are done with our training I shall prepare myself" Neji only nodded showing those were his plans too.
Hinata once again found herself in front of the Ramen bar trying to force herself in.
"Hey Hinata" Kiba said as he put his arm around her shoulder. "What're you doing out here? Let's go in and get some lunch." Shino snuck up on the other side of Hinata and nodded.
The three entered and sat next to Naruto. Hinata told them of the party and time. They all agreed they come. Through it all, as usual, Hinata blushed around Naruto, who thought she was sick, put his hand on her head and she fainted.
Ino climbed up the latter to the roof of Choji and Shikamaru's favorite building. "Shikamaru!...Choji!..." She called as she reached the top. Ino stopped in furry at what she saw. Choji, Shikamaru and Temari were all sitting in the bench looking up at the clouds munching on chips. "What are you guys doing?" Ino shouted "Well Temari munch told us about this munch party and invited us." Choji said still stuffing his face. "Then she asked if she could join us. We started talking and I gotta say Temari had some really interesting things to say." Shikamaru faced her "You're pretty cool...for a girl I mean." Temari kissed Shikamaru on the cheek "Well thank you Shikamaru, you're really sweet" Shikamaru blushed as Temari reached behind her and passed Choji a bag of chips
"This is a flavor from Suna, dig in" And Choji did happily while Shikamaru looked at the clouds, with a giant smile, slight blush, and lipstick lips imprinted on his cheek. Temari layed back and snuggled up to Shikamaru, and he let her. Ino only stood in shock and furry.
This means war!
