Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
"Okay children! Thank you all for coming… even though a good fourth of you didn't show up."
Tsunade, bustiest woman of all natural women, and principal of Konoha High School, stood in front of her senior student body. She had called a senior class assembly during their schedule pick up to discuss with them all the events of the year that are especially for them. And to also, happily, install a little early discipline if need be. And to the woman with the long blonde pigtails and daily drinking habit, it was always needed. She narrowed her amber eyes at the auditorium of almost adults that just were not listening to her. "Shut your traps you ungrateful heathens!" Her booming voice got everyone's attention then. She smiled, "Good. Now, as most of you know I have called this assembly of the senior class to discuss the activities that shall being going on especially for you all. The first thing is senior pictures; I hope you all got that done this summer. If not then there will be photo sessions available in two weeks for those that missed it and if any new students arrive. Next items are the cookout and bonfire, then spirit week and homecoming. Now, let me clarify Homecoming to you all. I know you girls feel obligated, for some reason, to make or buy these humongous mums; I've been there before-"
She was interrupted by someone screaming out, "Did it fit in your Model T?!"
The teens laughed for a full two minutes until they noticed the smile on their principal's face that foretold unimaginable horrors. Once they were all done laughing she gave a sarcastic laugh herself than glared at the young man. "Mr. Ryota… let's see how well you can kiss my ass to get all of your senior privileges back. Oh, and maybe I won't switch you into all freshman classes. Hopefully my dementia doesn't kick in when I retype your schedule." There was a loud chorus of 'ooo-ing' at this and the young man cursing loudly. "As I was saying, no overly large mums, no overly large garters either, and we'll be good. The finally two events are prom and powderpuff football." The girls got excited and cheered for the prom part of the statement and the guys for the powderpuff part. "I know you all are excited for them but it's still too-" She was interrupted again by loud yelling from the hallway outside.
"This is all your fault Pig! If we didn't have to wait for you to finish putting on your damn makeup we wouldn't be late!"
"Shut up Meatbuns! You were the one that wanted to stop for happy hour at Sonic!" Everyone that had been within earshot last night recognized two of the four voices that had been plaguing their minds and social network timelines for over twenty-four hours. The auditorium doors were burst open then and four faces everyone was getting to know stared back in surprise that quickly turned to guilt. The blonde blanched a little and waved, "Uh… hey! …There's still an hour left for half priced drinks?"
Tsunade shook her head until she became slightly dizzy, but mostly that was from the small bottle of sake she had earlier. She gave the girls a gesture to come forward as she brought microphone back up to speak. "It's so nice of you ladies to join us. And just on time too." The four fast walked down the aisle and up the stairs onto the stage. Everyone was whispering now and wondering what was going on. Four teenage boys were now either glaring or concentrating on the four girls that were now front and center. They had a hunch what was going to happen but they more so wanted to know what they exactly were going to say. Now on stage and standing in a line next to the amber eyed woman she waved her arm in front of them and spoke to the crowd. "These four girls will be attending our school for their final year of high school; which, if you didn't use your common sense, means that they are in your age group and will be in your graduating class. Since they have been out of the public eye for a while you all may not know who they are and are questioning why they are getting a special introduction. I feel it would be better if they introduced themselves than me doing it for them. Girls, if you would please." She stepped aside and handed the nearest one the microphone.
The girl smiled at the woman then gave a full smile to the audience. "Well I would like to start by telling Tsunade-sama thank you not getting mad at us for being late. Next I would like to say that yes, there is still an hour left to get half priced drinks. I recommend a cherry limeade with vanilla." She noticed the glare she was getting out the corner of her eye by a certain busty blonde. "Okay! Hey, I'm Sakura Haruno. I'm sure all of you have heard of my parents company, Haruno Medical. Our first facility was actually here in Konoha. We provide medical services to over a hundred countries worldwide and provide any procedure and surgery you can think of. Um… what else can I say? I was named the heir to the company almost a year ago if I remember correctly. Uh… I don't know what else to say." She laughed at her own confusion and just pasted the mic to the next person. She pulled the strap of her green tank back up and pulled the bottom of the white and gray striped off the shoulder she had over it back down. Her jean shorts with cut and frayed, the legs stopping above what wouldn't be school appropriate if it was an actual school day. Her pastel pink, same color as her hair, Supras were unlaced and looked like they had never seen a day out of the box. She pursed her red lips and chewed on them as she redid her fishtail braid.
Wanting to get it over with, the blonde girl grabbed the mic and waved at the auditorium of teens again. "Hi, I'm Ino Yamanaka. My parents collectively own Yamanaka Pharmaceuticals while Mama, or as some of you girls may know her as Ayaka Yamanaka-sama, also runs her own magazine that is doing quite well. If you're on some form of medicine or have ever redecorated from an idea you saw then you've been in contact with something my family has made. Also, I was also named heir to my families company almost a year ago. ...I really have nothing else to say so I guess I'll pass." She stepped to the side after handing it over, her blonde and still purple hair swaying lightly behind her in its high ponytail. She had on a tie-dye purple halter maxi dress that was high in the front and low in the back and white wedges that crisscrossed halfway up her calf. For spending so much time on her makeup it wasn't that much; just foundation, concealer, a light amount of black eyeliner, a little white eyeshadow on the edges, flesh colored lipstick and a little blush. Not that much to cause them to be over twenty minutes late.
The petite girl with the lavender eyes stepped forward and smiled. "Yo, my names Hinata Hyūga. My family runs Hyūga Corp, the chain of worldwide Lasik eye surgery centers and we also sell popular eyewear for, actually, anything you can think of. I can point out about ten of our products among you guys from a quick glance of people I can see. I'm the co-heir; which means that I will operate the company alongside my brother, Neji. If you hadn't figured out that he was my brother by now then wow, how did you get to be a senior in high school? Um… you guys still have thirty minutes until happy hour's over." She sipped her Ocean water slush and smiled at glaring amber eyes. She had on a teal tank top and a black sleeveless jean jacket, black sweats that were pulled up to her knees and white sneakers. She had put her hair up in a messy bun atop her head, her bangs were out long with stray strands of indigo hair.
Twirling a lanyard with keys and a few other knickknacks on it brunette eyes scanned the audience as she spoke. "Hiya, names Tenten Tsurugi. My family's in the metal and weapons business, Tsurugi Metals. We make stuff from machinery to pens; but we pretty much mostly supply to people like Uzumaki Inc. and Shi-Tech. I am the only heir to my family's corporation; have been for a good five or six years now." She stopped twirling her keys and turned to the awaiting principal. "In all respect Tsunade-sama, are we done now? We kinda got somewhere to be." The brunette was wearing a faded sleeveless green shirt with was ripped horizontally multiple times across the back and said 'Bite me' in bronze letters on the front. Her acid-washed jeans had rips on the knees, horribly frayed at the bottom, and black stains on the thighs. Her gladiator sandals were white and just a little worn. Brown eyes looked at both of her braided ponytails, inspecting to see if the hair tie at the ends had loosened or worst fallen off.
The secretly fifty-four year old woman refrained from snatching the microphone from the girl thirty-six years her junior. But she did smack her upside her head. "Thank you girls, so much for that wonderful introduction. I want you students to treat these girls with the upmost respect and like they're ordinary young adults like you all. They're a lot more sensible and level-headed than certain wealthy teens that are in your class. I wouldn't mind naming them but I wanna leave as much as you all do. In last remarks: details about prom and powderpuff will be delivered to you all once we finalize things. With that said I don't wanna see any of your faces again if possible so get the hell outta my school!" She then promptly turned off the microphone, placed it on the podium on the side and left out the back. Nobody wasted anymore time; the auditorium was cleared in a matter of minutes.
The girls left out the back instead of following everyone else. Going out this door led them to waiting area for people that would come to see a play or something else that the school was hosting. Automatically to the right were a set of glass double doors that led outside. "Should we go out those doors or go around to the ones we came in?" Sakura pointed to the other direction where voices could be heard. "We have the option to walk around in the heat or go through a sea of people. Pick your poison."
Tenten looked both directions, thinking it over. "Well… we didn't park necessarily in the front. It's probably only a minute walk to get there. But it's like 102 degrees out there. But then again, we'd still be walking by people outside too."
"Fine. I'll pick. Eeny-meeny-miny-let's go." Ino walked away, going towards the doors and away from the crowd of noisy teens. The girls followed her and shielded their eyes when they were out the door. Once they had walked around the corner of the building they saw their car and also the very people they had been trying to avoid. As soon as they were in sight they heard someone say 'there they are!' and chaos almost happened. "Oh shit! Run!" Shoes slapping the pavement they darted to the car and just barely got in before they were surrounded.
Tenten started her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, that she had modified to a five-seater as per request, and blew the horn so they would move. "Get the fuck away from my car! If you leave fingerprints you better hope I don't track you down!" She then put her pedal to the metal and barely missed hitting someone.
"Shikamaru! Stop daydreaming or you're gonna get left behind!" The boy looked off in the distance one last time then turned to the girl on his arm. Smirking up at him she tugged on the arm she had looped hers around and led him after the others. "I just got back in town this morning and you're already ignoring me. Bored you already?"
He returned her smirk and walked just a little faster to catch up with his friends. "Been troublesome? Yes. Boring? No. I'm just thinking about later." She didn't respond but laughed and made him move faster. They walked through the doors to find the others waiting for them.
"Geez! Can you be any slower?"
"What were you doing? Whistling Dixie?!"
"Or were you too busy sucking face to walk?"
The three laughed at their friend as she turned red from anger. "Shut up! We're here now so what does it matter?!" She stormed off, Shikamaru following her slowly. Sasuke seemed to be too focused on not caring, Naruto laughed at the scene, and Neji just shook his head; all three strolled leisurely after the girl, their own girls latched onto their arm or hand.
Karin Hebi, Kin Tsuchi, Tayuya Hebi, and Ami Watanabe. Nothing was really special about them, in comparison to the boys they gave their utter devotion to. Their families each had a good amount of money themselves but mostly from medium sized business chains within the country. But this didn't stop them from acting high and mighty and just like they were more important than the rest of their peers. In a way, they were though. Tayuya was the only girl Shikamaru had ever spent a long amount of time with before he outright called her troublesome and a bother and meant it. Her twin, Karin, was the only girl that could keep up with Sasuke and his always changing attitude. Ami was the only girl that could withstand Neji's cavalier attitude without blushing immediately. Kin was the only girl that kept Naruto entertained and practically sedated. The guys' personal and collective fan clubs both respected them and hated them. No one had ever stayed by their sides longer than they had. The four girls had been friends since childhood, met the boys in middle school, and started their open relationship with them once they entered high school. To them, it didn't matter if their guy spent time with another girl, he belonged to her and only her at the end of the day.
"Had any fun last night Sasuke-kun?" Karin flicked a lock of her red hair behind her head as she looked in the windows of the shops they passed. She smiled when she heard and felt the dark haired boy chuckle at her question. He didn't give her answer, but opted to pull her closer to him, because he knew that she knew that he did have some fun for the most part.
Ami scoured her brown eyes at the people that walked past them. "I don't understand why people have to stare so hard! Like, we've come here for years now! They act they've never seen celebrities before." She was tore away from scrutinizing people by Neji squeezing her hand. Her expression quickly changed to one of a sweetheart when she looked up at him. He sighed and smiled at her as he shook his head.
"Don't worry about them. We're together right now, so why not just focus on me?" His smirk made her expression change again, now smiling seductively at him.
"So which store you wanna go in Kin-chan?" Naruto looked down at the girl he had around the waist. She was chewing her gum and blowing bubbles absentmindedly, a bored look on her face.
"I don't particularly care; none of my favorite stores have restocked any new items that I know of. But the twins were saying that there was a new store that opened up recently so they wanted to check it out."
"New store…? Oh yeah, that's right! It's probably gramps new store! He was saying he was opening a new location here."
Kin popped a large bubble then looked up at him in confusion. "Gramps? Your grandfather opened a store in the mall?" She scoffed as she looked ahead again, watching her salmon haired friend looking around. "Why would Karin and Tayuya wanna go to an old people's store?"
The blond laughed loudly, unintentionally gaining the attention of everyone around him. "No, no. He's not my grandpa. I just call him that 'cause it feels like he is. He's my really godfather." He chuckled lowly and nervously at his next statement, causing black eyes to look at him even more confused. "And he doesn't sell old people stuff… per se. He sells nice stuff; just… it's an interesting situation."
Tayuya smiled as she found what she had been looking for. "Found it. It actually looks up to par; what do think Ka-" She turned and saw that the person she was about to question and others were three shop lengths away and still walking rather slowly. Brown eyes narrowed into a glare, "Seriously?! And you guys were talking about me being slow?! I'd expect this from Shikamaru but really? Really? Move your asses!"
The mall they had gone to was the biggest one in the city. Over two hundred and fifty stores, three floors, a food court with twenty-five eateries, movie theater, ice skating rink, and a large carousel. The particular store that the girls had been looking for, and found, was titled Paradise. The window mannequins wore both male and female clothing, in the latest styles and fashion. From the outside you could see that shoes and shirts and pants and accessories and gender and other things were sectioned off from each other. The store spanned two store lengths and still had the 'Grand Opening' sign spread largely across it.
Sasuke scoffed and glared back at the yelling girl. "So why hasn't she gone to anger management yet?" Karin laughed at him and started telling him some story that all he caught was something about failed attempts. He didn't care enough to continue listening to her; he had other things on his mind. Mostly another person. His head had been somewhat plagued by the pink haired girl since last night, he couldn't get her face from coming to the front of his thoughts at random times. And she only seemed to come up at times when he thought of something irritating, and being friends with the dobe, that happened a lot. Her sarcastic remarks and nature really ticked him off and made him himself become irritated when remembering it. He hated when someone patronized him, talking down to him like he was a child. Like his brother did. A connection was made in his head at the thought. That's what it is. She acts just like Itachi! Always acting like everything's a game, or that everything is a joke. Like earlier. Sakura Haruno. Once he heard her name, and her annoying speech following, his brain instantly registered the last name. He knew of Haruno Medical, of course he did. His mother was best friends with Mrs. Haruno, which also meant that his father was good friends with Mr. Haruno. It was a friendship that went beyond just the business world; they had been friends even before Itachi was born. It was also the only hospital he trusted and subsequently the only one he went to. He knew they had children, a son he found insufferable and had heard Kizashi-san mention his 'beautiful, charming little angel' daughter once or twice but hadn't had much of an interest to look into her. Having seen her now he would say she could get some private time with him but that was all, some. She was still annoying. "Hello! Can I help you with anything?" There it goes again! Now her voice is gonna be on repeat and making up sentences!
"No, I'm good. Ah! But can you tell me, how long have you all been open?" Hearing Karin's voice, and wondering why she was answering his delusions, brought him back to what was happening around him. They had walked into the store and had been in there for a minute or two now judging by how deep in they were. There were some pretty nice clothes in his opinion but what caught his attention was the side view of a fair-skinned, green-eyed, pink haired girl's face. She was unloading a box of clothes and putting them on a rack. She had her back turned now and was bent over picking up another article of clothing. She was in the position long enough for him to give her a point for a nice rear end before she got up and turned to his red headed companion while doing her work.
"We actually opened just this week. We opened up shop four days ago on Monday." Sakura hung the shirt up on its hanger and went back for another one.
Karin gave an indifferent response and face to the information and went back to looking at the shirts in front of her. She picked out a shirt that was a white crop top that was a little see-through and had xoxo written largely across it in black. She held it up to herself then turned to the dark haired boy. "What do you think Sasuke-kun?" He looked at her face then at the shirt and she could tell what he was thinking about when he suddenly smirked and nodded his approval. With a knowing smile on her face she put the hanger in her hand then turned when she heard the same employee from earlier speak up.
"Sasuke? Sasuke Uchiha?" Her red hair whipped as she turned to look at the girl she hadn't even looked at earlier. She was staring at the boy next to her, staring at her man. Her face looked like she hadn't expected him to be there. "What are you doing here Uchiha?"
The boy scoffed in disgust at her tone. " I can be wherever I want, Haruno."
A thin eyebrow raised. "Haruno? I have a first name, you know it now… even though you should've know it."
"I don't keep track of annoying little girls. And I'll stick with Haruno."
Karin watched the exchange, not knowing what was going on. She had already recognized the girl as one of the girls that had been introduced at the assembly earlier; not that she had been paying attention. She had heard of the rumor of her and her friends being at the hangout last night and didn't bother reading into it. But seeing as what was happening right now between her and her boyfriend maybe she needed to. She interrupted their back and forth banter that was getting a little too personal to her. "Excuse me, who are you?"
Sakura's green eyes widened at the question. "Um, Sakura Haruno, as you just heard. I work here."
"No. I mean, who are you to my boyfriend?"
Green eyes stared long and hard at the girl. Then she started laughing and went back to placing clothes on the rack. "Oh gosh, I have no time for this. Hahaha! Jiraiya would punish me if I didn't finish this soon." She stopped talking when she felt an arm on her shoulder. Turning she saw the red haired girl with one side shorter and choppier than the other glaring at her. She looked from hand to face twice. "Um excuse me. Get your hand off me before I make you."
Karin stood eye to eye with the girl, only a foot apart. "I said, who are you to my boyfriend? Are you going to answer me or are you going to answer me?"
Sasuke watched from the side, not seeing a reason to bud in. He wanted to see how the girl would handle Karin's aggressiveness. He saw as Sakura looked at him and then looked back at the girl seeing as he wasn't doing anything to stop her. Sakura grinned mockingly at the girl. "Sweetheart, I am nothing to your little boyfriend as you call him. But tell me, why do you refer to him as your boyfriend? From what I can tell with how far he had his tongue down some other girls mouth last night he doesn't particularly see you as his girlfriend. Oh, or did you not know about that?"
Karin smirked viciously at her question and took her hand off the other, to which the pink haired girl wiped off where her hand had been as if it would leave a stain. She walked back over to the watching boy and wrapped herself around his arm. "Oh, I know. I knew about it before it even happened, because I know how Sasuke-kun is. He gets to play while I'm away… and then gets the best when I come back. I see nothing wrong with this relationship." She pressed her chest into his side, getting a disgusted look from the girl. A look she mistook for jealousy. "And I know there are… others who wish they could be this close to him but oh well. They can just get lost." She smiled at the now glaring female.
"Ugh, I really don't have time for these children." Sakura picked up the almost empty box and walked away towards the back of the store. "Jiraiya can get mad all he wants! I'll finish tomorrow!" They watched as the girl stormed off. Karin just shrugged and went back to shopping, asking Sasuke's opinion every now and then. Fifteen minutes later she went to the register with a sizeable amount of clothes on her arm. Once there she saw that her friends were waiting there too, Ami and Tayuya already checked out. "So what did you guys think of the new store? Besides some rude employees, I like it."
Ami nodded as she inspected her nails, her bags in Neji's hands. "Yeah, I agree. I could do without that crude brunette but they have nice clothes here."
Kin shrugged and looked around as the blonde behind the register scanned her items. She noticed a fuchsia colored curtain on the far side of the store that covered a doorway with a sign in front of it that she couldn't read. Pointing towards it she turned back to the girl. "Say, what's that curtain for?"
Ino didn't even look up from her work, already knowing what she was talking about. Bored, she responded and stuffed all the clothes in a bag. "That's to the adult section of the store. You have to be eighteen to go in there if you don't work there."
Black eyebrows raised. "There's seriously something like that in this store? What kind of person runs this store?"
Naruto answered her as Ino didn't seem to be going to and only told her total and asked her debit or credit. "Well I told you it was an interesting situation. He writes those books that Kakashi-sensei reads…" he trailed off in another nervous laugh.
All four girls' faces scrunched up in digust. "Those Icha Icha books?! Oh my god, he runs this store?! What the fuck?!" Naruto only nodded sheepishly at them, somewhat ashamed of his godfather. They said nothing else about what was behind the closed curtain. Once Kin was done Karin laid her stuff on the counter for Ino to scan. Halfway through Sakura popped her head out the back and Tenten walked out from the curtained off section at the same time.
"Hurry up Pig! We gotta close up soon!" Sakura went back in the back and stuff being moved around could be heard. Tenten came to stand next to her blonde friend, putting stuff that had been misplaced back where it was meant to go.
Tayuya looked at her phone, finding what she said odd. "What do you mean close? It's only three thirty."
Tenten sighed loudly and frustratedly, already feeling done with dealing with these girls. "Well as you can see, our boss and this stores owner isn't here. We obviously can't run a shop if he isn't here."
Asymmetrical dark purple fell over her shoulder as Ami turned to look at the brunette. "Look, I'm sick and tired of you already, so don't get snippy with us if we ask a simple question. Plus, the customer's always right, right?" The smile she put on her face made the pigtailed girl's blood boil, she could tell. "Now, I'm sure one of you is barely competent enough to be the manager; you can run the store with just that."
Ino glared icy blue eyes toward the girl as she handed Karin her card back. "The old perv isn't here. We're closing. Now, if you would please, we have somewhere else to be in an hour. Thank you and come again, Paradise will be waiting. But that last part is something we are required to say, you don't have to come again." She closed the cash register and was about to efficiently shove them out when the two others came from out the back, all their stuff on their arms.
"Ino, I told you we gotta close up!"
"I'm trying! These bitches are a handful!" She threw up her hands and went to grab her stuff from Hinata.
"Who the fuck are you calling bitches?! Do you want to fired?!" Kin growled out at the girl that was ignoring her now.
Hinata pressed her hand to her head, wondering why this was happening now. "Look, just leave and go shop somewhere else, we're closed. There's no way you can get us fired; how many times do we have to tell you our boss isn't here and he wouldn't do it anyway." She followed as her friends started to the door, keys in hand. The four girls and guys had no choice but to follow them.
"Where do you have to be in such a hurry? And where's gramps?"
She looked back at the blonde and promptly rolled her eyes. "He's been at some sort of convention giving weird pervert speeches since Tuesday. He's supposed to be back by tomorrow. We were told to close early today and get everything out for the weekend rush." When he continued to stare at her she reluctantly answered his other question. "Well we gotta meet with some people by a certain time or we're gonna be in trouble."
"People? Who?"
She was getting tired of the ramen fanatic's constant questioning and endless curiosity. "If you must know… our mothers. Specifically Sasuke's, your's, my and Neji's, and Tenten's."
There was a long silence, one that mirrored the same silence from last night. The only sound was the metal chain gate coming down and the sound of keys jingling as Sakura locked up the store.
"Our mothers are here?! Like, in town?! Now?!"
Sakura shook her head. "Yes, Captain Obvious. How do you think we were gonna report to them like we said yesterday? They may be billionaires but that doesn't mean that they necessarily know how to work Skype."
"Where are they now?" Shikamaru asked, looking actually worried even though his mother wasn't one of the ones in town. Those four could still go back and tell his whatever was told to them.
"The family mansion. They've been there for a few days now, since Wednesday."
All four guys turned to each other, knowing what had to be done in this situation. They each turned to the girl near them, all with the same expression.
"Ami, I'm so sorry that it has to be this way but… could you possibly continue on without me here? Something urgent has come up."
"I'm so sorry Kin-chan! But I gotta go!"
"Hn, gotta go. See you later though?"
"Even though this is troublesome to have just gotten here and then have to leave it'd be even more troublesome if I didn't."
Yellow, indigo, brown and pink bobbed away, not wanting to hear the piercing screams that were sure to follow in less than half a minute. Not a heartbeat later, black, yellow, brown, and black were hot behind them. They pushed past crowds of shoppers, getting aggravated shouts and bewildered stares. All eight turned the corner, heading towards the parking lot at a reasonably fast pace that didn't look like they were running. As soon as the automatic sliding doors opened four screams that resembled the shouts of drowning piglets. They didn't turn back once.
Ino let her hair out and slid the hair tie around her wrist. Shaking her hair, running her hand through it and combing it to one side she looked at the boy with the pineapple shaped hair. "Isn't it kinda rude to leave them here without a ride? I mean, they are your girlfriends."
He just snorted, hands in his pockets. "They came in their own car. We just decided to come with them because it makes it easier for later."
"Oh ew; I do not need to even hear about whatever you man whores do at night. Last night was enough thank you very much!"
Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders indifferently, not concerned with how she saw or thought of his choices. He was about to say something else when he noticed something: she was keeping up with him. Now, he knew he had long legs and even though he didn't walk all the fast most of the time he still got to places fast. He was always reminded by Tayuya to slow down or at least take smaller steps. He didn't have this problem with his best friends, though he didn't call them this outright, of course because they were all around the same six foot height more or less. But here was this blonde, keeping up with him; and in heels. He lowered his brown eyes to look at her legs. Yup, ballerina looking with three inches of wood as the heel. His eyes traveled upwards, was blocked by the fabric of her dress, then stopped at her hips that he could see moving slightly back and forth as she walked. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at this. Comparing her torso to her legs she was evenly proportioned between them but, looking from ankle to hip, he could tell that her legs were a few inches longer. Eyeballing, he could guess that she was just shy of 5'7". She just has really good balance, skill in wearing those damn things, and has long legs. But how is she able to keep up when Tayuya's only two inches shorter than her? Shikamaru made an unsurprised 'hmph' noise as it clicked. Tayuya's just lazy and hates overworking as much as I do.
He felt a knocking on his head. He turned to glare at the person that hit him but saw it was the girl that had been walking next to him. "Uh, yeah hey. We're here. Maybe if you stopped looking at my legs long enough you would have known that already." Sure enough, they were at Neji's Corvette, still clean and nice looking from the night before.
"Maybe if you didn't hit me and cause brain damage I would have been able to stop." He moved past her, going around to the passenger side to slide into the back seat next to Sasuke. "How about you go hop in your friend's McLaren and keep your troublesome self out of my hair, Boar?"
Ino bristled at his comment, blushing from anger and embarrassment at the meaning of her name. She had resigned herself a very long time ago that only Sakura, Hinata, and Tenten could make fun of her name. She spun around and stomped towards the silver car. "Tenten! Get in the fucking car! We're fucking teaching these little boys a lesson!"
Pigtails bouncing, Tenten grinned brightly. Once they were all in she happily started her car, pulled up in front of the guys car and revved the engine. With a wink and challenging smirk she pulled off, leaving skid marks on the pavement. "This girl must be insane if you she thinks she can beat me." Neji pulled out after her not a second later. He caught up with her at the stop sign that made them yield to the oncoming traffic. Brown eyes widened in astonishment as she watched him go around her in the wrong lane and turn into traffic without stopping. Growling, she sped after him. Luckily for pasting pedestrians and other drivers there wasn't much traffic that day and the lights they were passing through were turning green quickly. Konoha PD weren't concerned with their quotas today, as it was still the middle of the month, and they later learned that there was a robbery on the other side of town at the same time. They knew it was wrong, but they thanked the robber anyway.
Tenten turned the wheel one handedly, using the other hand to flip the long haired boy the bird as she pasted him. They were driving on a stretch of road that leads to the more expensive and larger houses in the city. Both cars were now driving side by side on the two way road, trying to get to the gate that would only fit one at a time. With the finish line in sight each tried to get ahead; Neji trying to pull ahead so the girl next to him wouldn't be able to pull in front of him. But he didn't know how crazy she was. Smiling and laughing maniacally brown eyes glanced over at the black car then jerked the wheel towards it. Lavender tinged pearl eyes widened as he dropped his foot on the brake hard, surprised by the screaming coming from the convertible and scared of his car getting damaged. As she expected, the sudden stop made enough room for her to get over and in front of him. She took the opportunity and by the time the boy could assess what happened the insane girl was pulled up at the gate. The guard in the booth stared at her, looking between the two cars wide-eyed. Brown eyes danced with ecstasy as she handed him her gate key. "I'm here to visit someone, and I'm a resident as well."
The guy took the card from her hesitantly and slid it through a machine. Her picture as well as basic residency information and also the other girls' pictures appeared on the screen. The gates metal chains rubbed against each other as it moved back. He handed the card back to her and gestured to the car behind them. "And what about them? Guests?"
She blinked her eyes then started laughing. "Oh! Oh my gosh! That's too funny!" Wiping her eyes of tears that wanted to come out she took her card back. "Yes, yes they are. They may try to convince you that they live here but don't listen to them. Also, make sure they keep the guest pass." She pulled off then and through the gate. Her laugher increased as she heard a loud yell of 'I LIVE HERE GOD DAMNIT!' and enraged yelling after.
The community, Fire Spirit, was large and went a fair amount of distance into the woods. In the beginning of the subdivision houses were close to each other like the other residences in the other neighborhoods but the further back they went the more acreage and more space between you got. Houses made with brick, stone, pillars, arches, and a few with all of it. Yards with perfectly tailored grass, large trees that went uncut grew tall, imported plants circled and covered with gravel and stone and wood chips. Large, towering windows, two, three, four car garages, big, ornate or grand, wooden doors. Finally, they pulled up to a grand wrought iron gate, stone walls on either side. She punched in the code and a second later they opened. Driving down the curved driveway and past a posh lawn they pulled up in front of a white stone and gray brick mansion. Its dark oak doors stood tall and fitted with frosted glass in and around it. A bay window sat to the side of it, the curtains closed. They parked both cars off to the side, not bothering to drive around back to the five car garage. Once out the car Neji stormed up to the brunette.
"What the fuck were you doing back there? You could have killed all of us at the speed we were going! Not to mention damage my car! I swear, if you weren't a girl I would punch you square in the face!" They stared surprised at him, not expecting him to blow up like that. Neji? Yelling and acting aggressive towards a girl?
Tenten only waved him off and walked away. "Whatever. I would roundhouse you to the face if you even tried." She was abruptly spun around, a heated glare aimed at the center of her face. She glared back and grabbed his shirt's collar. "Oh, so you want me to kick you?!"
He growled low at her threat. "I'd like to see you try."
"Egging me on?! Let's see where that gets you, you pansy! And the girls think you're a gentleman?! Puh-lease!"
A window swinging open was heard. Every one of them jerked their heads over to bay window. Now seeing that the curtains were pushed back.
"Oh, don't stop 'cause we're here, yeah."
"I put my money on the girly boy. He looks like he can mother fucking fight!"
Notes: I tried to use 100% canon characters (even though they might be OOC a little) when rewriting this story so all of them are actual characters expect for the funny guy in the beginning and I had to make up last names for Karin, Tayuya, and Ami. Also, I got the name Fire Spirit from the term Will of Fire.
So whether you guys like it, love it, hate it, or whatever; tell me your thoughts in a review!
