A/N: It is Rini with her insane chatroom fanfic! I just loved your reactions on my reviews for Chapter 1! It's just what I was hoping you guys would do! Bwahaha! No, I did not attempt a SasukeTenten pairing but I sure made it seem that way, huh? You'll see what they were doing later on…But for now, Chapter 2! Thankies to my friend from school Megan for the main idea in this chapter! Even if it is completely weird! But hey, it goes with the rest of the story!
Oh, and much thanks to Psycho rabbit kunoichi! I really liked your review! No, I'm not a Sakura basher; she just doesn't have a big role yet. She will, though. I'm a little fond of her myself…
Oh, Gaara's rehab. I don't know how long it will last. But I do need it for Chapter 3. So at the end of Chapter 4 Gaara should go back to normal. Heh heh…
Sorry, one more thing. The stars that surround motions on the chatroom and the lines separating chatroom and real life disappeared in Chapter 1. I checked it after I got my reviews and I didn't want to delete it and repost it because I would lose all my wonderful reviews so bear with me. I'm gonna figure out how to get those up for my other chapters so it's not so confusing. Here's Chapter 2!

Tenten spun out of her computer chair, grabbed her weapons, and headed for the front door. Today was her make-up session with Neji since she had missed yesterday because of the session with Sasuke.
"Oi, Tenten! Where're you going?" Sakura waved to Tenten as she stepped out the door.
"Over to Neji's," Tenten replied.
"Why?"
"I have a session with him today."
"Okay, see you later then." Sakura walked off, wondering about the session her friend had mentioned. She shrugged; it was none of her business. Tenten slung her weapons bag over her shoulder and started on her way.

Windmaster: Thank goodness. Hello Lee.
Sanddemon: Nice to see you again, Lee.
Beautifulblonde: Dang it…
CloudedShadows: Hi Lee.
GreenLotus: Where's Tenten? She's usually on by now…
Sasuke4evr: She's going over to Neji's.
Beautifulblonde: How do you know, forehead-girl?
CloudedShadows: Why?
Sasuke4evr: First off, she told me Ino-pig! Second, something about a session with him…
GreenLotus: I didn't know about a session! I wonder why?
Windmaster: That's hard to figure out, Lee!
Sanddemon: I love you all.

Tenten knocked twice on the wooden door of the Hyuga home. She heard silence, then some soft footsteps. Hinata smiled as she opened the door, wearing a pale purple yukata with a dark purple floral design and a red sash.
"Hi Tenten-san. Come on in," greeted Hinata as she stepped back. Tenten slipped out of her shoes as Hinata shut the door behind her.
"Hi Hinata-san. How are you?" Tenten followed Hinata to the couch and sat down, laying her weapons by her feet on the floor.
"I'm fine, thank you. Neji-san isn't back yet, I'm afraid," Hinata said apologetically as she slipped into the kitchen.
"Oh? Where is he?" Tenten asked as Hinata came out with a tray and china tea set. She set it down on the coffee table and sat down.
"I've no clue. He left as I was waking up in the morning. Tea?"
"Um, sure, thanks," Tenten nodded. Hinata poured some steaming tea into one of the two small white cups with a blue painted bamboo design and handed it to Tenten. Then she took the other cup and poured some for herself.
"So what's with the yukata?" Tenten took a sip and winced unnoticeably as the scalding tea burned her tongue.
"Rehearsal today," Hinata said quietly, taking a sip of her own tea.
"What?" Tenten looked at her confused, holding her cup delicately in her hands.
"The Cherry Blossom Festival is next week and I'm a performer in it," the Hyuga explained quietly, as if the walls had ears.
"That's right, it is! You're going to be in it? That's great! I'll come watch you!" Tenten smiled and said eagerly. Hinata blushed.
"Thank you, Tenten-san. I'm inviting the Rookie 9 and Neji-san's team as special guests. Oh, and the Sand Siblings too. I hope everyone can make it," Hinata said wistfully.
The door opened and Neji stepped in as Tenten opened her mouth to say something. She quickly shut it as he looked in their direction.
"Oh, sorry, Hinata-san. Time for our session. I'll be sure to come watch you, alright?" Tenten set down her half empty cup and stood up, grabbing her weapons.
"It's alright; I'll be late for practice if I leave any later," Hinata slipped into a pair of wooden sandals, bowed to Hinata and Neji and hurried out the door. Neji closed it behind her and started upstairs, Tenten following happily.
CloudedShadows: This is getting really boring…
Beautifulblonde: Can I come over and keep you company then, Shikamaru-kun?
CloudedShadows: Not in a million years…
Sasuke4evr: I want Sasuke-kun to log on!
GreenLotus: Never fear, Sakura-san! I am here!
Windmaster: Is Tenten always the life of the party here?
Sanddemon: I would think so, Temari-chan. She is so full of life and energy and I think that she is a wonderful role model.

Hinata opened the door and stepped into a dark house. She slipped out of her shoes and flipped on the switch. She walked over to the coffee table and picked up the tray. Tenten's cup was now empty and there was a third cup on the tray, signaling that the two had taken a drink when she was out. The Hyuga smiled and brought the tray into the kitchen, where she set it on the counter. Taking her cup, she poured herself the rest of the still warm tea and rummaged around for a new box of biscuits. Hinata ate her snack quietly as she listened to the thuds, yells and other various noises upstairs. It went silent for a moment; Hinata stared at the ceiling as if she could see through it.
"Oh wait. I can." Hinata chuckled and activated her Byakugan. Neji and Tenten were headed to the door, obviously having heard Hinata come back. Hinata deactivated her Byakugan and smiled, returning to her snack. She heard footsteps down the stairs and Tenten and Neji appeared, panting with scars, scratches and bruises. You get the picture.
"Hello, you two. I hope I didn't interrupt anything," Hinata finished off her snack.
"It's alright. We were just finishing up anyways," Tenten smiled. Neji nodded slightly. "How was rehearsal?"
"Just fine. And how was your training?"
"She's getting much better," Neji said without emotion. Tenten grinned.
"You know, we're both done early. Let's invite everyone over for a movie party!" Tenten suggested randomly. Hinata's eyes lit up.
"Yeah! I could handle the food!"
"I could invite everyone!" The two girls looked at Neji, waiting for him to contribute.
"I'll pick out the movie," Neji said reluctantly and trudged to the living room. The girls exchanged secret smiles before they went about their tasks.

KunaiKunoichi: Is everyone on?
Sanddemon: Hello Tenten-chan.
Sasuke4evr: Tenten-chan! You're on!
CloudedShadows: Oh hey Tenten! Finally! It was boring without you.
Beautifulblonde: Tenten.
GreenLotus: Good afternoon Tenten!
Windmaster: Hey Tenten!
Ramenpwnsu: What's up Tenten!
KunaiKunoichi: Hey, how would everyone like to come over to the Hyugas' house and have a movie party? Hinata's making snacks and Neji's picking out a movie.
GreenLotus: Neji? Is giving into this?
KunaiKunoichi: Yeah. I know it's weird, but do you guys want to or not?
Sasuke4evr: Sure! It sounds fun! I'll be over in a bit!
Ramenpwnsu: If Sakura-chan is going, then I am too!
Sasuke4evr: …
GreenLotus: I will most definitely come Tenten! YOUTH!
CloudedShadows: …Sure why not? I'll be there in a few.
Beautifulblonde: If Shikamaru-kun's going, then so am I!
CloudedShadows: …
CloudedShadows: I'll get Chouji to come too.
Windmaster: It might take me and Gaara awhile…
Sanddemon: Oh, I would love to go! May we please, Temari-chan?
Windmaster: …Fine. We'll leave now and we'll get there in a couple of minutes, I guess.
Sanddemon: Kankuro-kun should come too!
Windmaster: Yeah okay. All three of us will be over soon.
KunaiKunoichi: Alright then! See you all in a bit!

"Tenten-san, how many people are coming? I need to know how much food to make," Hinata, still in her yukata, knocked on the door of the computer room.
"Lee-san, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Temari, Kankuro and Gaara. That's about it, I think."
"What about Sasuke?"
"You want him to come?"
"Sure. Let's get all of the Rookie 9 together." Tenten shrugged and turned back to the screen, logging off the current chatroom and onto the one she usually talked to Sasuke with.

"Sasuke's coming too," Tenten announced. Hinata nodded and logged in on another chatroom, inviting Kiba and Shino over. She logged out and headed back downstairs. Tenten followed her happily, eager to help.
When they reached the kitchen, they saw Neji slouched on the couch, scowling.
"You pick out a movie yet?" Tenten called out as she spread peanut butter on the crisp, warm toast.
"Kung Fu Hustle. Deal with it." Neji said nonchalantly. Hinata and Tenten exchanged glances, shrugged and continued with their work. A knock sounded on the wooden door. Neji, without a word, stood up and answered it. Everyone, including the Sand Siblings, was standing on the porch. With an arched brow, the Hyuga stepped aside and they filed in.
"Wow, you guys made great time. How'd you guys get here so fast?" Tenten asked Temari while the others were buzzing with excitement in the living room.
"My screen name isn't 'Windmaster' for nothing," Temari said with a wink and helped the two finish up refreshments.
"Alright everyone! Peanut butter toast and tea! And there are other things if you want them!" Tenten called out. The mob of hungry Genins attacked the tray and left crumbs on the plates as they settled around the TV, gorging themselves and waiting for the movie. Tenten and Hinata each took their own slice of toast and cup of tea and settled down. On the couch sat Shikamaru, Ino, Lee, Sakura and Sasuke. Sitting on the armrests were Temari on the right by Shikamaru and Kankuro on the left by Sasuke. Gaara sat on the floor in front of Temari's feet, behind Neji. Kiba, with Akamaru on his head, sat on the wooden floor in front of Kankuro. In front of Kiba sat Shino, cross-legged. In front of the couch on the floor were Neji, Tenten, Hinata and Naruto, in that order. Tenten, holding the remote, looked around. Ino was pressing herself against Shikamaru; Lee was flirting with Sakura who was flirting with Sasuke, who was shooting death glares at both of them and Tenten; Hinata was fidgeting by Naruto, who was hissing at Lee; Kankuro was just sitting there impatiently, Gaara pressing against Temari's legs, who was fondling Shikamaru's hair. Neji just sat by her, waiting for this nightmare to be over. Tenten turned around and hit Play. Everyone quieted down instantly, except for the noises made by eating and drinking. If you've never seen Kung Fu Hustle, it's a comedy about several kung fu masters and a prophecy. Anyways, as far as Tenten could tell, the party was going well and everyone was enjoying themselves.
As the credits played, everyone had finished off their snacks and stretched their muscles. They milled around as Tenten and Hinata cleaned up crumbs and cups. Tenten was just warming up some more tea when she heard a commotion from the living room.
"Who dropped it?" Hinata was demanding, hands on her hips. The others stared at her silently.
"What's going on?" Tenten asked as she stepped out of the kitchen.
"Somebody dropped a slice of peanut butter toast on the floor and no one will admit to it," Hinata said, a hint of anger in her voice.
"Well, we can just pick it up and throw it away," Tenten suggested.
"No! I want to find out who did it!" Hinata's voice rose. Tenten pulled her hand away from the lone slice of toast. Everyone started talking among themselves, accusing one another.
"Hey! Stop it!" Tenten yelled, but to no avail. Arguments and voices rose until everyone was at each other's necks.
"Can't we all just get along and love each other?" Gaara wailed from where he was sitting. Tenten stared at him, dumbstruck, until her anger erupted.
"You've been cold to us ever since we met you and you choose now of all times to be a pacifist!" Tenten yelled.
"Don't yell at him!" Temari screeched. Tenten threw her hands up in frustration and stomped away, trying to stop the fights.
A loud, piercing whistle instantly silenced the arguing kids. Everyone's turned to the doorway separating the kitchen and the living room. Hyuga Hizashi stood underneath the wooden frame, a fierce annoyance in his eyes and a scowl on his face. Hinata and Neji winced; they knew what was coming.
"Um, g-good afternoon, Father," Hinata stammered, trying to make peace. His fierce glare turned to her and she shrunk behind Naruto.
"I want everyone out. Now." Hizashi said stiffly and firmly. Nobody moved.
"I SAID NOW!" he roared again. This time, everyone except the Hyugas scrambled for the door. Neji and Hinata shuddered; they were in a lot of trouble. The door shut and the two turned to face the angry man.

"You've got mail."
Sasuke looked at his computer screen. A new email from Tenten. With curiosity, he opened it and read what she typed.
Sasuke-
I thought you were gonna be on the chatroom with all the others tonight! Whatever. Get on tomorrow or I'll track you down and gut you like a fish with my weapons. Anyways, Hinata is participating in the Cherry Blossom Festival tomorrow at noon in the village square. I mentioned it to you once, remember? Hinata wants all of us to come and since you weren't on, she couldn't ask you. Are you coming? We're all being invited as special guests. Even the Sand Siblings are coming! Reply ASAP!
Tenten
Sasuke smirked. He had a feeling that something interesting would happen there like it did today. He shrugged; what the heck? He'd go, just to see if his feeling was right.
"You've got mail."
Tenten blinked. That was fast. She moved the mouse and opened the message.
Tenten-
Fine, I'll be there. Don't ask why, but I'll go. And I missed it on purpose. I may miss tomorrow as well. It depends. But I'd like to see you try and gut me.
Sasuke
Tenten rolled her eyes and closed her email. She shut her computer off and climbed into bed, yawning. It had been a hectic day, to say the least, and she was dead tired. As she settled down in bed and turned off the lights, she thought about what tomorrow was going to be like. Her heavy eyelids shut before she thought too much.
