Hey guys! I don't have much to say here, other than a new story...
Okay. I'm planning this story to be about... 3-5 chapters about.
Mhmm. Yup
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto. Or Tenten, Neji, or Hinata.
But the OC is mine.
"Tenten-san!" Hinata Hyuga ran to her older friend. She was wearing her normal kunoichi get-up, all wrinkled and dirty from training. She ran to the left side of Tenten, huffing for breath
Tenten gasped in surprise. "Hello Hinata-chan! Umm… are you okay?"
She observed Hinata. Despite her hyperventilation, she was sweating from the sides of her head, and her eyes had a sense of fear.
"Hinata! What's the matter? You look like you saw a spirit," Tenten walked her to a nearby bench. They sat for a while, and she carefully thought of the reason why Hinata looked so scared.
"Aha!" she said aloud. "Neji was bullying you again, wasn't he? I can get him if you want!"
The weapons mistress beamed smugly. She loved to tease her partner, who happened to also be her boyfriend. For the long years she had known the Hyuga, she loved poking fun at his stoic nature. At times during their training while they were sparring partners, she kept a serious face with him, but whenever she was out of her kunoichi uniform, she insisted on having dates with him. Neji was practically her best friend. It was him who actually confessed his love for her.
"Uh, no Tenten-san! That's not it!" Hinata managed to say. "It's… a girl thing."
Tenten looked at her confused. It was a girl thing? Those were the kinds of things she wasn't comfortable talking about considering her personality wasn't like other girls. She sat down. "Why don't you go talk to Sakura or Ino about this?"
Hinata nibbled on her thumb. "If I told Sakura-san… she would probably over-do it if she helps me with my situation… and Ino…. I can't tell her."
Tenten thought more on what the problem was. "Is it your time of the month?"
The Hyuga girl blushed. "No! I mean, that's not it."
"Hinata-chaaaaaaaaaan~" Tenten whined. She grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "Please tell me! I'll try to help you!"
Hinata gulped. "I was… asked out on a date," she quickly stated. She pulled her hand away from Tenten and covered her face.
Tenten eyes widened. "…Awwwwwwww," she chimed. "That's so cute! You should accept it! Wait, scratch what I just said. What kind of guy is he? He's not the type that would hurt you, right?" she 'Aw-ed' again. "Hold on, why exactly do you need my assistance? You should say yes if he's the right guy for you. Is he handsome? Why Hinata? Did you give him an answer yet?"
Hinata shook her head no. "I can't accept him! I-" she stopped herself. She was about to confess, her unspoken love for Naruto to Tenten, which was something she didn't want to say. "Uh, he's an older guy. About eighteen. A Jonin. I saw him at the bakery while I was buying some sweets for my Kurenai-sensei."
Tenten didn't see any sweets anywhere near Hinata. All the drama had probably made her forget the sweets.
"I was admiring the cinnamon rolls display, and he started a conversation to me."
"Really? What did he say?"
She thought for a second. "We talked about the pastries that were displayed. I can only remember he said, 'You're a cute girl. Why not go on a date with me? I'm sure I'll treat you nicely.'"
"Awwwwwwwwwwww," Tenten exclaimed again.
Hinata covered her face again. "He gave me his name. It was Tsukimi Sho. I told him I'll give him an answer, but I was in a hurry. He told me he was going to the library afterwards. I don't know what to do! I shouldn't accept," she thought of Naruto. "I don't want to be alone with a boy I barely know!"
The older kunoichi patted her on the back. "That's sweet. That guy has guts to ask out a beautiful girl like you!"
Hinata moaned. "Tenten-san, please help me. You have Neji-nii-san as your boyfriend."
Tenten shook her head. "I don't see what's so hard about saying 'yes' Hinata-chan. Oh!" she blurted. "We'll have a double date!"
"…Huh?" Hinata cocked her head to the side.
"Me and Neji, you and your Sho, we'll go on a double date!" she smiled at her idea. "That way, you won't have to be alone. You must be glad you came to me. Sakura and Ino don't have boyfriends, do they? They wouldn't be able to help you like this!"
"That's a good idea Tenten-san!" the blue-headed girl beamed too. It turned to a frown. "Do you think Neji-nii-san will be okay with it? I don't think you should consult this without his approval."
The bunned kunoichi crossed her arms. "True, true. I'll make him say yes. It's a date anyway. You just go to the library, and find your future man, and tell him to have dinner with us at the dango shop!"
"I-if you insist Tenten-san."
Tenten quickly headed for the Hyuga compound. She couldn't help smiling to herself. This was the best idea she ever had She thought of the possibilities that would happen if the guy actually became Hinata's boyfriend. She even said he was a jonin. They would all be able to train together and go on more dates.
She waited at the door. "Hyuga Neji!" she called. "Nejjjiiiiiii~! Please come out!"
Immediately, the door slid open.
"Neji! I have something REALLY important to tell you! Involving Hinata-chan," she said.
"What?" Neji squinted at her. His vague expression gave her a warm feeling.
"I'll love you forever if you do this small favor for me!" she extended 'forever.'
"Hn."
"Don't 'hn' me. But seriously. I need a favor," she grabbed his arm and they began to walk towards the town.
Neji peered over his shoulder to see his girlfriend smiling for no reason. "Why are you see giddy?"
Tenten rolled her eyes. "Don't you listen boy?" she hooked arms with him. "Something happened to Hinata-chan!"
He raised an eyebrow. "What? Is Hinata-sama hurt?"
"Neji, don't be stupid!"
'What was stupid about that question? She could be hurt,' he thought. 'I guess not.'
His sparring partner started to skip. "It's something you will just 'aw' about! Hinata-chan…," she gave a dramatic pause. "was asked on a date!"
'Did Naruto finally realize her love for him?'
"By a cute boy!"
'Nope.'
"Well, I don't know what he looks like, but he sounds romantic and generous. He's also a jonin, I've heard! Not only that, he seems open about his feelings. Hinata-chan talked to me about it for a long time. She didn't know what to do, so she asked me what to do, considering you were my boyfriend and all, and Sakura and Ino don't have one obviously. But still!"
Neji stopped. "Why are you telling me this?"
The corners of Tenten's mouth grinned to her ears. "Even more exciting news…" another dramatic pause. "We're going on a double date with them!"
"Hn."
"Neji! Please. I know I'm not this type of girl ho obsesses over dates and looking nice, but this is for Hinata-chaaaaaaan!"
"I don't want to do it," he confirmed. He crossed his arms in an annoyed manner and turned the other way from her. Either way, he already knew Hinata would only fall in love with Naruto, and that's it.
"Tonight. Hinata-chan is choosing the restaurant. Please come Neji! I'll even wear my hair down."
He turned to her. He knew how much Tenten hated wearing her hair on her neck. That's why she always wore her signature bun style, and not a braids or ponytails. She had told him they were a bother to comb. Even though she wore her usual hairstyle, she still had long hair. He knew well that her mom always wanted a girl with beautiful hair before she died.
If Tenten was willing to risk it, then she probably really wanted to help Hinata.
"Fine. But It's a date for us, okay? Not a way for Hinata-sama to get a new boyfriend."
"Really Neji? Really? Oh my goodness! Thankfully Hinata-chan told the guy yes!"
"Wait. How old is the guy?"
Tenten put her right finger to her chin to gesture a way Neji thought was rather cute while she was thinking. "Ummm… eighteen?"
The boy was older than him. "Hn."
"Thank you so much Neji! I promise, I'll even help you create a new jutsu next week! Ahh! Hinata is going to be so happy when they get together!" Tenten hugged him tightly and ran straight into the crowd. "Oh, Neji. Please be on your best behavior. This is for Hinata, and us. Dress nice!" She was gone.
Mmmm...nothing to say. .
