The Daily Happenings of Konoha

Chpt 2 – Hokage Towers & KonohaCruises

By :: SleepyDreamGirl

"Troublesome,"

"Shikamaru!"

"What? It's really troublesome,"

"Geez!" Ino sighed in defeat.

If just walking me to the Hokage Towers is deemed as troublesome…he's such a lazy ass! she frowned.

"Shika-chan…"

Shikamaru shuddered instantaneously upon hearing his pet name from long ago.

"Please! Please please please please PLEASE!!" Ino shot Shikamaru her puppy eyes.

The over 200 IQ genius groaned. "Alright, fine, just stop giving me your puppy look!"

Ino grinned and posed a secret victory sign. Yosha! she laughed evilly on the inside.

That was where the Neji Tenten pair found Ino and Shikamaru; all four of them on their way to the Hokage Towers. Each pair posed the other with a quizzical look, before Ino told them that they were on their way to the Hokage Towers, and remembered to ask Tenten a question.

"TENTEN! My dear girl! You finally got Neji?"

Tenten turned scarlet, while Neji got reminded to kill Naruto when he saw him. Ino smiled happily as if not sensing anything, and took Tenten's red face as a yes.

"Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me, huh?"

"…"

"Tenten?"

"…"

"TENTEN!"

"WHAT!"

Ino winced at the sudden loudness erupted from the Weapon Mistress and decided that it wouldn't be safe for her to continue pestering Tenten for answers. She, after all, had no wish to end up like a slaughtered pig.

"Ehehe. It's nothing, actually," Ino beamed.

Tenten sweatdropped.

And so, they continued their silent trek towards the Hokage Towers…

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

"NO! BAA-CHAN, I'M SERIOUS! REALLY! NEJI AND TENTEN WERE REALLY KIS-"

Neji, Tenten, Ino and Shikamaru entered the Godaime's room.

"sing…" Naruto winced.

Neji and Tenten growled simultaneously. Naruto began to step back, hiding behind the Godaime.

"Uhh…sing! Yeah! I was telling Baa-chan about how much I loved singing! Lalala…" he whimpered and tried to sing meekly, while Neji and Tenten continued to death-glare at Naruto's retreating figure.

Tsunade sighed and told Shizune to bring her some aspirins. She could feel a headache coming her way.

"Ts-"

"It's alright, have your way with him. I don't mind," Tsunade turned away.

"BAA-CHAN! AHH!!" Naruto tried scramble for safety behind Ino and Shikamaru, who both muttered, "Sorry, we would really love to help, but we don't want to end up in the hospital with injuries all over us."

Naruto squeaked.

And once again, he got brutally tortured by the Weapon Mistress, and the Hyuuga Genius too, this time round.

"Pretty…pretty pretty little stars…how I wonder what you are…" Naruto, with a black eye on his left and a broken tooth hanging from his mouth, half-muttered, half-sang, raising his right arm to grab the imaginary little stars before he finally fainted on the ground.

Tsunade blinked and noted that she'll count on the combined wraths of Neji and Tenten the next time Naruto does anything to anger her, smiling all the while.

At this moment, Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura entered the room, only to see a pissed-looking Neji and Tenten, with a fainted Naruto on the ground, and Ino and Shikamaru standing by the side.

The three of them blinked, then sighed, thinking of the same sentence, baka Naruto…

While Ino and Sakura settled on the couch to talk, along with Shikamaru, Sasuke remained leaning on the wall, while Hinata walked over to Naruto, trying to shake him awake.

"Naru-kun! Naru-kun!"

Naruto groggily opened his eyes, and saw Hinata smiling at him.

"Hina-chan!" He shot up and hugged Hinata as if she would run away.

"When did you get here?" Naruto asked once he released Hinata from his body-crushing hug.

"Just a moment ago, with Sasuke-san and Sakura-chan. Naru-kun, what did you do this time? Tenten-chan doesn't go all out even when angered, to this extent…" Hinata trailed off as she examined Naruto's injuries.

"Well…ahaha," Naruto peeked a glance towards the culprits, who in turn, glared back at him. He leaned forward to Hinata instead, whispering in her ears, afraid that Neji and Tenten might bash him up again if he was just to say, "Well, your cousin and good friend overheard me telling Baa-chan that I saw the two of them kissing, and they took the chance to torture me to this extent."

Hinata widened her eyes and giggled when Naruto finished. She found it just so lovable whenever Naruto accidentally angers people, especially Tenten.

Tsunade eyed the couple from her desk. She was still finding it incredible that Naruto and Hinata managed to get together, and even more so that Hinata no longer stutters nor is shy anymore. Oh well, she thought as Naruto and Hinata went to sit on the couch too, 'Love does incredible things', or so they say.

And then, in came Kiba, Shino, Chouji and Lee, along with Anko, Asuma and Kurenai. Tsunade grinned and yelled, "Alright! Everyone's here, first, let me clarify that Anko is temporarily taking over Team Gai as the sensei, as Gai is currently out on a Rank S mission,"

A groan from Lee, "NO! GAI-SENSEI!" with streams of tears rolling down his face, interrupted the Godaime in the middle of her speech, and a vein popped out on her forehead.

"As I was sayin-"

"NOOOOOOOOOO! GAI-SENSEI! OUR YOUTHFUL SPIRIT!"

Another vein.

"Lee-"

"GAI-SENSEEEEEEEEEEI!"

Everyone stood back as they sensed the increasing amount of angry aura erupting from Tsunade, whose eyebrows were twitching non-stop, with a number of veins already popping out from her forehead. Her desk, where her hands were clutching on so tightly, snapped under her strong metal-like grip as she stood up, and everyone else except Lee, who was still wailing, gulped and stood another step back.

"LEE!!" it seemed like an angry roar from a demoness from hell.

Lee, who finally, finally noticed, stopped his wailing, and stared at the towering Godaime. He gulped.

"Y-yes, Godaime-s-sama?" (inserts puppy look from Puss In Boots from Shrek on Lee's face)

And suddenly, a man holding up a book of "IchaIchaParadise" walked in absentmindedly, while everyone turned to face him. He blinked and kept away his book.

"Did I just miss something?"

Tsunade's last line of patience and saneness snapped.

"URRRRRRRRRGH!!"

Everyone ran out of the room just in time, including Lee and Kakashi, and they sweatdropped at the mess the Godaime made. She had blasted the whole room, bits and pieces flying everywhere, including the door which everyone had used to escape, falling with a THUMP! on the floor. Everyone sweatdropped.

They can see the Godaime, with the door destroyed and all, still trying to destroy more stuff, and Shizune was around her, restraining her from moving at all.

When Shizune had finally managed to calm Tsunade down, they had to move to another room to discuss what the Godaime had been trying to say earlier, before being interrupted by Lee and Kakashi. Still with some little veins popping, Tsunade continued.

"As I was saying, before I got interrupted by some people," she stopped and glared at the two guilty culprits, "Anko is going to take over Team Gai temporarily. And now, I'm going to issue the mission everyone is here for." Tsunade stopped and 'arhem'-ed.

"This special mission has no ranks, but needs sixteen people exactly; Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma and Anko. And this misson is issued by me, the Godaime," Tsunade closed her eyes and breathed in.

"I order the sixteen of you to go on the 3-day KonohaCruises trip that is heading towards the abandoned Islands of Paradise, and stay there for a week in the 5-star NinjaHotels. Is this clear?"

Naruto, Hinata, Kiba, Chouji, Tenten, Lee and Kurenai blinked, Sasuke, Shino, Neji, Kakashi and Asuma made no movement, Sakura and Ino squealed, Shikamaru sighed and Anko smirked.

The next moment, was chaos.

Naruto started running around the room tearing at his hair screaming "Holy!", Sakura was still squealing with Ino, Sasuke muttered "Dobe.", Hinata and Kurenai sighed, Kiba and Tenten started to blink rapidly, Shino told his bugs to be careful of mad people around him during the 'mission', Shikamaru muttered "Troublesome…", Chouji was drooling all over the place, thinking of the food on the cruise, Neji made no movement, Lee was in DreamLand, Kakashi took out his perverted book to read, Asuma took out his cigarette to smoke and Anko remained smirking.

Tsunade and Shizune sighed.

"QUIET!" the Godaime's voice boomed. Everyone fell silent. Tsunade rubbed her temples tiredly, and continued.

"You'll all be leaving at 5pm this evening. Meet at the Konoha Port at 4pm, where I'll be giving out the tickets, clear?"

"Tsunade-sama," Neji started.

"Yes?"

"…what, exactly, is the purpose of this special mission?"

Tsunade sighed again. She didn't really get how Neji can be so dense at times.

"If I didn't make this a mission, probably only half of you would be going. Or so to say, at least I know you and the Uchiha won't be going,"

Everyone blinked. And all was chaos again.

"YAYS! WE'RE HAVING A VACATION!"

"THANK YOU, TSUNADE-SHISHOU!"

"This is madness…"

"…"

"OH. MY. GOD."

Instead of shouting over the chaotic nonsense, this time, the Godaime let them quieten down by themselves, which took around 20 minutes. And when it was finally peaceful again, Tsunade spoke once more.

"So, is everything clear? And oh, yes, as I had said, this is a special mission issued by me, so be prepared to suffer dire consequences if you don't turn up. Treat this like a mission if you want,"

"…" came Sasuke's, Neji's and Shino's response.

"Tsunade-shishou,"

"Yes, Sakura?"

"Why are you suddenly treating us to a vacation and all?"

This piqued everyone's interests, and they looked at Tsunade.

"Well…it's a long story. Recently, Konoha's bond with Suna has grown stronger than ever before, and just as a gratitude for saving them during the previous Rank S mission Kakashi, Gai, Asuma, Kurenai and Anko had undergone, they gave me a great, big amount of money to spend," she recounted.

Everyone sweatdropped. Tsunade should had meant, '…gave Konoha a great, big amount of money to spend," not her. But, oh well.

"So…Shizune reckoned that I would have probably spent all the money on my precious sake, so she suggested that I give some of it to the recent ninjas that had been on tough missions. Thus, you sixteen. But again I reckoned that people like Sasuke and Neji wouldn't give themselves a break, and so, this special mission," Tsunade finished. Everyone nodded. Sasuke and Neji glared.

"It's all clear? Now go and pack your bags, and meet at the Konoha Port at 4pm."

"Hai," and with some grumbles, some squeals, and poofs, everyone disappeared.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

Tsunade tapped her foot irritably. It was almost reaching 4.20pm, and one person wasn't there at the port yet.

And, when he finally strolled into view leisurely, as if he was an hour early, reading the perverted book of his yet again, Tsunade almost launched on him, wanting to strangle him. Good thing for Shizune and her restraints, thought the rest, as they saw how Kakashi had been saved by Shizune for the second time that day.

Kakashi sweatdropped.

When Tsunade had simmered down, she gave everyone their tickets; 1 for the KonohaCruises, 1 for the NinjaHotels at the Islands of Paradise.

And following that, they boarded the grand KonohaCruises, waving bye at the Godaime and her apprentice.

The job of looking after the kids had been thrusted at rather hastily to Kakashi, Anko, Asuma and Kurenai by Tsunade, who didn't really trust the twelve kids could actually take care of themselves and make a mess of the whole entire ship.

So now, the four adults were leading the twelve to their respective cabins, but they stopped at the lobby due to a problem. A real complex problem.

"The Godaime didn't sort out who were going into which cabins…"

Some winced while some squealed, the drum of pending doom rolled.

Kakashi grinned as he thought of a brilliant idea. "We would have let you guys chose who you want to bunk with, but sadly, it would only result in girls with girls and boys with boys. What's the fun in that? I suggest we draw lots for this. Since there are eight cabins, two people would share one cabin, alright?"

His sentence resulted in gasps and giggles and grunts. And finally, it was agreed that they would draw lots. They took a random piece of paper, tore it into sixteen identical pieces and wrote the different cabin numbers on it.

And comes the drum roll…

Naruto went first, and he picked a piece of paper from Kakashi's outstretched hand. He closed his eyes and slowly peeked at the paper. "08139!" he announced happily.

Next, Naruto ushered his girlfriend to pick the paper, wanting her to pick 08139 too. Hinata chuckled, and picked a piece of paper. She had actually taken the one that was 09052, but Kakashi moved his hand slightly when he saw that.

"08139," Hinata smiled.

"YAYS! I'm in the same cabin as Hina-chan! Yay!" Naruto cheered on like a little child, while Hinata was smiling all the way.

"Next?" Kakashi grinned under his mask.

Sakura went up. "09050," she stated. Then, Sasuke. "09052," he said. Sakura "aww"-ed but Sasuke remained impassive, his hands in his pocket. Slowly, the people went up one by one.

Kiba had 09050, and he noticed that the Uchiha clenched his fist at this. He started praying for his own safety, mumbling, "Kami, save me!"

Shino went next, and he got 08137. Then, Chouji had 09051. Shikamaru had 09052, while Ino had 08140. Lee had 08137, Neji had 09051 and Tenten had 08140. And then, the senseis' turn.

Both Asuma and Kurenai had 09153, which left Kakashi and Anko to 08138.

"So, I've noticed you have an interesting way of twisting your hand when they took the paper, eh?" Anko smirked, "Something wrong with your hand?"

"Aha, no, fortunately," Kakashi chuckled.

"Uhm-hmm…" Anko licked the kunai she had just taken out from her pouch, "I'd better be careful then,"

"Sure," Kakashi waved her off with a grin.

When the noise over the choosing of the cabins finally ended, Kakashi 'arhem'-ed and raised his hand up for attention.

"Eh…so, it'll be Shino and Lee in 08137, me and Anko in 08138, Naruto and Hinata in 08139, Tenten and Ino in 08140, Sakura and Kiba in 09050, Neji and Chouji in 09051, Shikamaru and Sasuke in 09052, and Asuma and Kurenai in 09153,"

And, again, some groaned while some squealed, mainly Naruto still overjoyed that he was in the same cabin as Hinata. And, when it died down again, Kakashi passed each of them their own cabin keys, cards, actually, and sent them off to their own cabins to put down their luggages and pack a bit, and meet back in the lobby in around an hour's time.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

08137

"Uhrms, Shino-san?"

"…"

"Shino-san?" Lee spoke a bit more loudly.

Shino was bent over his finger, talking to one of the bug resting on it. "…remember, be very careful…eyebrows…especially bowl cuts…" he muttered incoherently.

"Shino…san?"

Shino was still ignoring the bushy eyebrows beside him, seemingly preferring his bugs over Lee anytime. Lee eyed him suspiciously, but stopped trying to call him afterwards, seeing that it was all futile.

Ah well, Lee thought, Maybe he is just shy!

"Err…what do you want to do in this free hour? Anything? Suggestions?"

"…"

Lee shifted uncomfortably on his bed.

"Err…never mind, then. I'll be going out for some air, okay?"

"…"

Lee quickly shuffled out of the room and shuddered.

"This Shino is scary…" he thought aloud, "I'll go find Tenten and chat! She'll definitely be bored with Ino-san anyways," he beamed, and left for Tenten's room.

"See, now you know why the people around me are mad…" Shino continued muttering to that one bug sitting on his finger.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

08138

Silence filled the atmosphere as Kakashi laid on his bed, reading his IchaIchaParadise once again, and Anko sitting on her bed, swinging her kunai around with a finger absentmindedly.

"Kaakaashii…" Anko dawdled.

"Hn?" the silver-haired ninja raised an eyebrow in apprehension, eyes still on his book.

Anko licked her kunai once more before she went over to sit on Kakashi's bed, only around a metre apart, and whispered, "I'm bored."

"Well," Kakashi started as he flipped a page, "I can't help it if you're bored."

"Geez, you're no fun. And to think you purposely made me end up with you in the same cabin…" Anko started whining. And Kakashi raised a quizzical eyebrow at her.

"I didn't know you were the type to whine,"

"When I'm bored, yes,"

Kakashi sighed and closed his book, putting it aside on the table next to his bed. "And, what exactly am I supposed to do to humour you, miss?"

Anko clapped her hands in glee, like a little child being offered a lollipop.

"Well…seriously? I have no idea," and she grinned.

Kakashi sighed again and scratched at his hair.

"Oooh wait! I have an idea," she smiled yet again.

Kakashi shot her a quizzical look.

"If I may have the honours?" Anko did a pretend bow.

"For?"

"One of the few people who can see the entire of your face?"

Kakashi widened his eyes in surprise at first, before relaxing again.

"What for?"

"Well…I don't know. To see if you're handsome? To see how your nose and mouth looks like? To-"

"Okay, okay I get your point," Kakashi interrupted.

"Sooooo…" Anko stared at Kakashi.

Kakashi sighed for the third time in front of Anko, and nodded slightly when Anko made movements to pull down his mask.

And he wasn't all that surprised to hear a small gasp emitted from Anko. He smirked.

"Surprise?"

Anko merely nodded, temporarily losing her ability to speak.

"Yo-wha-urrgh-why the hell do you hide that…that hell of a face behind your mask?" said Anko, when she regained her ability to speak.

Kakashi shrugged.

"Who knows?" and he grinned.

Anko sighed irritably and she stared into Kakashi's face again. Before she knew it…she was lying on top of the silver-haired ninja, his tongue licking her lips, pleading her for entrance into her mouth, and she complied obediently, placing her hands around him, their tongues playing with each other.

When they finally got up from their kiss, both were acting as if everything was normal.

"You pulled me down, didn't you?"

Kakashi smirked.

"Who was the one who kept staring at me? Especially at my mouth? Don't deny it, you were thinking about how kissable my lips were. I was merely making your thoughts come true."

Anko seemed to glare at him for a while, before muttering, "Fine,"

And the victorious Kakashi smirked once more.

"You know, you tasted pretty good,"

"Thanks," Anko replied.

"Now would you comply with my request, since I've complied yours?"

And Anko smirked.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

08139

Hinata smiled at the sleeping figure of Naruto on her lap, stroking his wild, blonde hair gently. Naruto stirred, and muttered a 'Hina-chan! Hina-chan! …mmm…Aishiteru…'

Hinata chuckled at this, and bent over her boyfriend's sleeping form, pecking him on the lips. It seemed to have reached Naruto in his dreams too, for he muttered a 'Hina-chan…' before going into a completely deep sleep with no more stirrings or mutterings, but soft snorings.

Giggling softly, Hinata resumed her stroking of Naruto's hair, smiling at the serene atmosphere around them. She had the intuition deep in her heart that days like this would come more often, and she hoped that her intuition would never, ever break, as she herself, started to fall asleep too, leaning on Naruto's shoulder as she slumped down from her upright position.

The couple slept on peacefully.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

08140

Squeals. And more squeals.

"Ino, dammit, stop your high squealing would you? People are trying to get some sleep here, if you can't see," Tenten rolled her eyes and commented sarcastically.

"Oops, sorry," Ino giggled. And giggled some more.

Tenten groaned and stuffed herself under the pillow, trying to block some of the noise.

"Ino!!"

"Oh, ahahaha, sorry, sorry!" Ino laughed again, tears forming in her eyes.

Tenten grumbled.

"Is me and Neji getting together really funny?"

"Oh…oh, nono, oh…hahaha!" Ino grabbed onto the nearest object near her, her legs, wobbly from laughter, unable to support herself.

Tenten rolled her eyes again.

"Fine, fine! You want the whole story right? Fine! Just stop laughi-INO! STOP LAUGHING!"

For Ino had actually fallen on the floor, unable to use her hands anymore either it seemed, and was banging the floor with her left hand, rolling around the floor, laughing like a maniac, and using her right hand to clutch her aching stomach.

"O-oh m-my god! This i-is s-so…H-HAHAHA!"

And she banged the floor some more.

"Oh my god I c-can't b-breath! O-oww! M-my stomach h-hurts!"

More tears formed in her eyes. She laughed some more, clutching her stomach tighter.

Tenten folded her arms and returned to her former position; stuffing herself under the pillow to block out the noise. Her eyes turned to slits upon hearing more laughter erupting from her friend who was rolling around on the floor, laughing so hard that she couldn't breath.

When the laughing finally ended, which was around half an hour later, Ino was sprawled across her bed, stomach completely sore from laughing, eyes completely red from the tears that had gushed out while she laughed so hard.

"Hahaha," Tenten mimicked her laugh sarcastically.

And Ino had no strength to retaliate back even the weakest comeback. She just lay there, sore from laughing so hard, air all squeezed out from her lungs.

"Okay, okay, fine, I'm sorry…would you please tell me the whole story?" Ino asked meekly.

Tenten glared at her one last time before complying.

"Fine. We were training as usual on our grounds, and there was this one moment where he was suddenly so close to me while he was attacking me, both of us just lost it. Okay?"

"Oh…okay, okay. That's it?"

"Yeahs,"

"Oh…"

Nothing more was said after a while.

"I'll just go and take a nap,"

"Yeah, sure, I need one too, to rest my sore stomach,"

"Hah. Serves you right," Tenten stuck out her tongue at Ino as she laid on her bed.

Ino rolled her eyes, and soon, both fell asleep.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

09050

Kiba gulped. Being alone in a cabin room with the Uchiha's girlfriend wasn't a really good idea. Especially not when the Uchiha himself had glared at Kiba so many times during the draw lots session at the lobby.

And yet, Sakura was there, yapping away, as if there's not a care in the world, while Kiba was fretting for his life.

Kami, Kami, PLEASE SAVE ME! He thought, with an immediate sense of urgency. Kiba could already feel himself being slowly ripped into shreds, courtesy of Uchiha Sasuke, for just being in the same cabin as his girlfriend.

Kiba winced as Sakura continued yapping away to the air…

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

09051

Neji was there, sitting on his bed, closing his eyes, mediating.

While Chouji was on his bed, munching away at his potato chips that he had brought.

Ah, boys.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

09052

Shikamaru sighed yet again as he laid on his bed, arms behind his head.

"Look, Uchiha, it's no use fretting away like this,"

It earned a growl from Sasuke, who had been walking up and down the space they had in their cabin.

"I. Am. Not. Fretting."

Shikamaru raised his hands up in defence.

"Woah, relax."

And back went Sasuke to his routine, and Shikamaru to daydreaming.

And soon, Shikamaru piped up again, unable to just watch the frantic Sasuke pace up and down anymore, feeling his head getting giddy from observing him.

"Uchiha,"

Sasuke grunted.

"Just go and check on your girlfriend, dammit,"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the Nara genius, but said nothing. He stopped his pacing and sat on his bed instead, as though he didn't hear Shikamaru at all.

"My glares at Inuzuka would had frightened him enough. Plus, Sakura wouldn't just do anything with him. She's the discipline of the Godaime, remember?" Sasuke scowled slightly.

Shikamaru shrugged in response and leaned back on his arms once again.

"What about you?"

The lazy Nara, who had just closed his eyes a moment ago, opened his left eye to look at Sasuke as though he had gone insane.

"You…asked me a question?"

Sasuke did nothing but grunt.

"Err…what? What thing about me?" Shikamaru pretended, and acted confused, while Sasuke scowled once more and glared at him.

"You know very well what I'm talking about, Nara,"

And he did nothing but lean back on his arms and closed his eyes again, seeming to prefer ignoring Sasuke's question, but after a while, he answered back.

"It's the usual; me as her best friend, she, confiding her secrets in me,"

"Sure that's all? No progress?"

The Nara shook his head no, and sighed.

"This is all just so troublesome…and I thought it was all fine as she was, at first, madly in love with you. Urgh, troublesome women,"

And Sasuke nodded with him.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

09050

Kiba was still wincing while Sakura yapped, and all of a sudden she stopped. Kiba seemed to get out of his trance of muttering, 'Kami, Kami, save me!' and stared at Sakura, who was staring into space.

"AH-CHOO!"

The Inuzuka sweatdropped as Sakura rubbed at her red nose, and was muttering, "Oh god...someone said something bad about me behind my back! I must be more precautious…" and continued her blabbering, while Kiba returned to muttering, "Kami, Kami, save me!"

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

08140

"AH-CHOO!"

Tenten rubbed at her eyes, just awoken by her companion's loud sneeze.

"Ino?" Tenten stifled her yawn, "What the heck? You having a cold?"

Ino shook her head vigorously, dabbing a piece of tissue at her nose, and Tenten could only catch a few phrases from what she was saying.

"Damn…talking bad behind…oh god…"

And Tenten sweatdropped.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD

09053

Asuma was smoking on his cigarette, reading the newspaper, lounging on the couch instead of his bed, and Kurenai was just sitting on her bed.

Silence filled the atmosphere around them and neither spoke a single word.

Ah, the most peaceful and serene cabin of all.

:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD:DxD
