Spring = Season Of Love
"Tenten-chan! Tenten-chan!"
"Let me have a go Hinata."
"Okay Sakura-chan."
"Tenten GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THAT BED NOW!!!"
"Sakura-chan you don't have to be too loud."
"We're running out of time Hinata and I think she's awake now."
Tenten popped her head out of the window and glared down at the pink-haired kunoichi, "what do you think you're doing shouting like that?"
"Waiting for you," Sakura replied. "We're supposed to be at Hinata's house to help her pack. So hurry up."
"You know you can act like a real bitch sometimes," Tenten said with her hand on the frame.
"We all act like one occasionally, even the ever so sweet Hinata has her moments," Sakura smiled.
"True, true," Tenten admitted, "I was happy to see her tell of that idiot Karin for bumping into me and blaming it on me."
Sakura nudged Hinata who lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I'll be out in twenty minutes," Tenten told them disappearing back into her room.
Sakura sighed, "Let's go into that store and wait."
Hinata nodded and they walked across the street to a clothes shop.
Sakura was busy looking through the swimsuit department while Hinata had wandered off to the jewellery side; she stared at the countless necklaces unaware of someone next to her. She walked straight into that person and stumbled back, he caught both her wrists and stopped her from falling in midair; Hinata stared into the blue eyes and stood upright again.
"Are you okay?" the blue-eyed boy asked.
"Y-yeah, thank you," Hinata replied.
"No problem," he smiled, "by the way, my name's Naruto."
"H-Hinata," said Hinata.
"Well it's nice to meet you," Naruto beamed, then for some reason he leaned closer and looked straight in her eyes. Hinata had turned a deep red.
"Are you a Hyuuga by any chance?" Naruto asked.
Hinata didn't say anything at first but then soon understood the question and said yes.
"I thought so!" Naruto exclaimed, "Your eyes made me wonder."
"Are you new to Konoha?" Hinata questioned him, "I haven't seen you around."
"Actually, I came here to visit a childhood friend, she hasn't told me where we're going to meet but she said I should pack my swimsuit and that she'll call me telling me the location," Naruto explained. "Well I'd better start packing, I hope we meet again."
He walked away and left Hinata watching him leave; Sakura (who was carrying a few big shopping bags) found Hinata and saw that she was in a daze.
"Hinata? Hinata-chan? Hinata?" Sakura called, she dropped her bags and gave the heiress a hard shake. It seemed to knock her out of her trance because she lost her balance and Sakura caught her arm.
"Are you alright?" Sakura asked.
Hinata nodded and looked at her watch, "we'd better get back to Tenten."
_________________1 Hour Later______________
"You're all packed," Tenten declared.
"So everyone is ready?" Sakura asked. Both girls nodded.
"I can't wait," Tenten squealed, "this will be so much fun, and maybe I'll meet someone interesting in my seventeenth year."
Sakura laughed, "You've turned down every offer you got, what makes you think you'll find 'the one' where we're going?"
"I just have a feeling," Tenten blushed.
"Um Sakura-chan, my cousin is coming to Konoha for vacation and he's staying at the Hyuuga summer home," said Hinata.
"But I thought we were going to stay there," Tenten folded her arms.
"We are, the mansion is big and he doesn't talk much so you might not even notice him there," Hinata explained.
"That's fine," Sakura began, "I don't mind as long as we have a good time."
"Does everyone have their pendants?" Tenten asked.
Hinata's hand shot to her neck and she nodded when she felt a white, teardrop-shaped crystal on her golden chain with a sapphire 'H' on it.
Sakura's hand made its way to her long hair that ended a little bit after her hips (it was held in a high ponytail) and she smiled when she got hold of her white
teardrop-shaped crystal with an 'S' made out of amethyst on it. The pendant was embedded in a gold ribbon that she wound around her hair.
Tenten's hand was already on her wrist that had a gold chain and hanging on it was a crystal like the other two's with a purple tourmaline 'T' on it.
"I have to call someone," said Sakura stretching, "I'll see you guys tomorrow."
Sakura walked out as Tenten stood up and yawned, "I have to go too Hinata, remember, we're meeting right outside the Hokage's office where my mom will be waiting."
Hinata nodded and waved her friend off, once they were gone she slumped on her bed and sighed, "Neji-san probably kept his vacation a secret so that he didn't have everybody waiting on him hand and foot, I wonder how long that will last," Hinata thought.
_____________Next Morning (Sakura)_______________
Sakura's emerald green eyes snapped open; she got out of bed and stripped herself of all her clothes. She grabbed her magenta coloured bathrobe and slipped it on as she walked to her bathroom. She left her bathrobe on one of the many counters that were built in and stepped into the shower, the lukewarm water splashed on her skin; relieving the headache that she acquired from her constant shouting at her blond friend the day before. She turned the knob slightly to the hotter side and felt the heat increase on her bare skin. After twenty minutes of scrubbing and rinsing, Sakura stepped out of the shower, dried herself and put on her bathrobe, then turned her attention to the mirror in front of her. She reached to the right and picked up her toothbrush and another eight minutes were used to brush her teeth. When she finally came out of her bathroom, her towel was wrapped around her wet hair and she connected her hair dryer to the socket next to her bed.
Sakura took off her bathrobe, put on her bra and slipped into her pink and black lace briefs. Sakura stared at the countless clothes in her wardrobe and sighed, she picked out cream-colored shorts that ended just before her knees and a reddish-pink halter neck blouse. She removed her pendant/ribbon (that she hadn't taken off at night or in the shower) and placed it on her dresser, Sakura then used the hair dryer for a good ten minutes then tied her hair up again. She put on white sneakers and ran downstairs to a waiting breakfast, lagging her four suitcases behind her.
"Good-morning sweetheart," Sakura's mother (Hatanae) called.
Sakura had already sat down and repeated her mother's words without the 'sweetheart' bit.
Hatanae stared at her daughters luggage and looked at her quizzically, "do you really need all those things?"
Sakura who had a mouthful of okayu just nodded and continued eating.
___________________________(Tenten)___________________________
Tenten's alarm went off and she reluctantly got out of bed, waking up was such a hassle. Tenten walked straight into the bathroom and straight out after 30 minutes, her hair was already in buns and her bracelet was still on her arm. She put on brown capris and a black shirt; the shoes she wore were black, flat and closed. Tenten made her way downstairs with her two suitcases and greeted both parents as she walked into the dining room. Her eyes glittered when she saw a small box on the table and her mother gestured for her to open it, Tenten carefully opened the package and threw her arms around both parents when she saw the new phone that they had bought her.
"I know your birthday present is two weeks late but I hope you'll accept it," said Tenten's mother (Saika.)
Tenten eyed her mother, "are you trying to mess with me? You know I'll accept it." Tenten gave both her parents a hug again, "thank you."
"Are you sure you don't want us to stay with you and your friends?" Tenten's dad (Fumio) asked her.
"Of course I'm sure," Tenten replied sitting down.
_______________________(Hinata)________________________
Hinata woke up to a bright day and quickly took a shower, when she came out; she blow-dried her wet hair and put on a short white dress and black leggings.
Her shoes were black ankle boots and her pendant dangled from her neck in the sunlight. She picked up her two suitcases and sighed, her father was sure to give her a lecture when she got down the stairs but...the sooner it started the sooner it finished. Hinata walked down the stairs and bumped into her mother (Tatsumi) that steadied her before she fell.
"Be careful," said Tatsumi then she smiled, "good-morning Hinata."
"Good-morning mother," said Hinata and Tatsumi took the cases out of her daughter's hands.
"They'll be at the door," Tatsumi told her and proceeded into another room.
Hinata had hoped that her mother would be in the same room as her when her father (Hiashi Hyuuga) started talking but that seemed unlikely since her parents hadn't been getting along recently, her mother always made her feel safe and more relaxed but when she looked in her father's eyes, all she could see was sternness and degrading. Hinata just wanted a balance in the room but the look that Tatsumi gave her when she went to keep the suitcases made her know that her mother wasn't entering the dining room again. The heiress took a deep breath and entered the same room as her father, she walked to the table and sat down opposite his chair.
Hiashi's penetrating eyes made Hinata feel inferior then he finally spoke, "Hinata, you know that you are the oldest of all your friends that are going even if just by a few months. You're the one who is to set an example for them so you have no excuse to do anything stupid. I would accompany you to make sure but I have work to do here, try not to disappoint me...if you can help it."
Hinata lowered her head at the last part.
"And tell your cousin Neji," Hiashi started, "that he can't keep secrets from me."
Hinata's eyes widened as he said the final sentence and Hiashi walked away, "poor Neji-san, he's going to be bombarded with thousands of servants and probably security too."
The seventeen year old heiress sighed.
__________________Hours Later__________________
All three girls stepped out of the car to look at a humongous house, the walls were smooth though bricks were used in making them and the clean-cut wooden window sills showed off their undamaged edges. A big arch door was knocked on by Tenten and was soon answered by a maid.
"Welcome Hinata-sama," said the maid, "and these must be the friends that are accompanying you?"
Hinata simply nodded and the trio walked, looked at their surroundings and groaned, servants, escorts and even security guards were frantically running around shouting a certain person's name: Neji-sama.
The three girls were able to dodge speeding workers and make their way up to a big room. Hinata opened the shoji and dropped her cases then fell onto a dark blue bed. She pointed to another shoji and this time Tenten opened it; it was another bedroom and Tenten smiled, the bed was lilac in colour and it was queen size. Sakura opened the next shoji and found a comfortable, bright pink, fluffy bed waiting. The wooden floors were lightly varnished and glistened in the peeping sunlight, Sakura opened the blinds of the white curtain and light flooded her room. She wasted no time in unpacking her things, all the clothes she brought fit into the roomy wardrobe and a marble dresser opposite the bed had enough space for her jewellery box and make-up.
There were bathrooms in the connected rooms and once they were done unpacking, the kunoichi's decided to go to the beach that was a ten minute walk away.
Tenten told the others to leave while she changed, once she was done putting on her swimsuit then covering it with her clothes, she bumped into someone who was running along the path.
He stood up quickly and helped her up.
"NEJI-SAMA!" a voice called out. The brown haired boy's gaze quickly turned from Tenten to the stairs.
Tenten grinned and ran to the railings, "Neji Hyuuga is hiding somewhere in the kitchen!"
She heard gasps of "of course" and "he must be there" and more of "why didn't we think of that before?" Tenten spun around to see the chestnut haired boy lightly panting with his hands on his knees then spun back over the rail to giggle at hundreds of maids and guards crowding around the full kitchen. She clamped a hand over her mouth to keep in the laughter that threatened to erupt then she felt movement behind her and turned to see Neji standing straight, he looked like he was about to head out it since he had a black-and-white sling-bag on his pale arm.
"Thank you."
"No problem, it was kinda fun," Tenten rubbed the back of her neck and a smile crossed her beautiful face. "You'd better leave, if they're smart, they'll figure out that you aren't there in a matter of time."
Neji shot her a grateful glance and exited the mansion.
Sakura walked across the beach with Hinata next to her, as they were walking, people (especially males) were stealing glances at the beauties strolling past them. A blond boy with blue eyes that Hinata recognized ran up to them and gave Sakura a big hug.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto cried, he was in blue swim trunks then turned his attention to the shy snow-eyed girl, "hey, I remember you."
Sakura turned her head from Naruto to Hinata then back again, "you two know each other?"
"Sort of," Hinata replied, "we met while you and I were waiting for Tenten."
Tenten had by now caught up to them and introduced herself to Sakura's childhood friend.
"Well, I'll be in the water," Sakura called as she left and Tenten headed straight for the ice-cream stand.
The pink-haired kunoichi took off her halter neck and shorts leaving only her pink striped bikini top and striped bikini skirt. There were a few whistles as she walked by but she just ignored them and continued to move, her gaze drifted to random people until it landed on an Uchiha. His well tanned skin had girls drooling all over him and his black eyes were simply irresistible. He had a firm six pack and raven hair fell at the sides of his face then was spiky at the back.
At first Sakura felt sorry for him because it was just plain annoying to have people following you everywhere but she saw a smug grin on his face, as if tempting a girl to hit on him and all her pity vanished.
"So arrogant," she said to herself but he heard it. The grinning Uchiha strolled over to the kunoichi who wasn't facing him and poked the back of her neck, now, if you remember correctly Sakura is a kunoichi, kunoichi's have instincts, raven-haired, arrogant shinobi's think girls are weak and underestimate them so they are bound to have their asses kicked. Sakura instantly flipped the stranger over and shot her index finger out so that it was just half a millimetre from his collarbone, many of Sasuke's fan girls gasped when they saw their idol flip over and land on his perfect back.
"Quite the violent one are we?" Sasuke smirked. "But what can a finger do against a shinobi?"
Sakura's finger lowered so that it was barely touching his skin, "you know I can kill you now."
"Really?" Sasuke asked.
"Do you really want to find out?" Sakura replied. She withdrew her hand and stepped back so that he could get up, then she started walking away but he grabbed her hand.
"What's your name?" the Uchiha asked.
"Haruno Sakura...why?" the kunoichi questioned him.
"Just because," Sasuke said standing up and walking towards her.
"Not a good enough reason," said Sakura.
"And what is?" Sasuke whispered, his body a few centimetres away.
"I'm not interested," Sakura scowled.
Sasuke walked closer, "that's a first, but I'm sure I can change your mind."
Sakura flashed a cute little smile, lifted her leg, and slammed it back down on his precious toes.
"I. Don't. Like you," Sakura stated while the pride driven Uchiha's face turned red in an effort not to scream.
Sakura pranced away, heading for a huge boulder that was 15 feet off the ground and stretched 30 feet away from the shore.
She could feel him glaring at her and she turned around to meet his pitch black stare. She just grinned cheekily and turned back knowing that she had won.
"That one's different," Sasuke thought.
Tenten had been lying in the sun for quite a while so she got bored and get up, stretched and searched for her two best friends.
"Where the heck are they?"
She spotted Hinata listening to Naruto babble about his 'dangerous' missions and saw Sakura climbing the long boulder, Tenten thought Hinata was having fun so she left her and she knew that Sakura liked it when she was on the giant rock. Her stomach made a gurgling noise that she hoped no one would notice and decided that it was lunch time.
Tenten left the beach and was heading towards the Hyuuga home until she spotted a certain brown-haired shinobi, training in a field. His byakugan was in full motion and Tenten was sure that the friend he was training with didn't have a chance. She entered the big field and sat down on the short grass; Tenten found the other man's appearance quite strange but didn't comment. He was wearing a green spandex suit and a utility belt was attached to it, his hair was bowl shaped and glossy while he had some pretty bushy eyebrows. They didn't seem to notice her presence since they continued to train and Tenten was quite surprised at the spandex wearing boy's skills, his taijutsu was very impressive and he used no ninjutsu or genjutsu against his opponent.
"Is he being cocky?" Tenten thought, her desire for food quickly disappeared as she watched the two spar.
Each were delivering strategic blows and both dodged most of the attacks aimed towards them, Lee always moved just out of Neji's range when he used the gentle fist and Neji would block all of Lee's attacks. The fight seemed like it was never going to end until Lee moved backwards in order to dodge a jab to the face then Neji used the "Hakke Kuusho" on him and sent Lee flying into a tree. The white-eyed shinobi took a deep breath and turned off his byakugan walked up to his comrade.
"I will win next time Neji-san for youth conquers all!" the black-haired boy shouted then he looked at Tenten who was behind Neji.
"Don't start all that power of weirdness with me, Lee," Neji noticed that his sparring friend was distracted by something and followed the direction of his gaze to find the girl he had met at his cousin's home, sitting on the grass.
Tenten found all eyes on her and stood up, she felt awkward with them staring at her but she wasn't a girl to show any insecure-ness.
Rock Lee smiled and waved as Neji walked up to her, "what are you doing here?"
"I was just about to get lunch then I noticed you two and decided to watch," Tenten replied. By now Rock Lee was next to them and beamed at her.
"My name is Rock Lee, it is nice to meet you Miss..." Lee trailed off since he didn't know what to call her.
"I'm-" Tenten paused, her throat was dry and suddenly she felt faint, on her last mission, Tenten had been injected by a rare poison while fending off attacks aimed for an injured team-mate. Once she got back to the village, Sakura (who hadn't been on the mission) started treating it and declared that the poison was supposed to get treated immediately and that Tenten might randomly get a high fever, Sakura told her to drink a lot of water and call her whenever the fever hit back because it might get too serious.
Tenten reached for her phone but it was too late, she got dizzy and could barely stand straight, it felt like her chakra was diminishing and her vision became blurred, a migraine edged its way to her brain and got worse every second. Her feet buckled under her and Tenten passed out completely. Neji caught her quickly and glanced at Lee who shook his head, not knowing what had happened to the pretty, brown-haired girl.
