Hi, here's chapter three! *Sigh* I don't want to say it but I don't own Naruto and his friends. Happy? Hope you enjoy!
Chapter Three: To the amusement park we go PART ONE!
It's been three days since Tenten started going to Konoha High. She made a lot of friends and was happy, almost forgetting about what happened to her at the past. And that's good news! Although at night she still keeps on crying silently. Nightmares still hunted her in her sleep; Sasuke would wake up in the middle of the night and found her screaming, kicking and punching the air. He would hug her until she calm down. She was very thankful to have a brother like Sasuke. She didn't want to involve the past to the present right now. She is happy and she should leave that ugly past behind her.
Tenten is at the rooftop playing her guitar when she heard the door opened. She stopped strumming and turned around to see Neji walking with a book in his hand.
"Oh hey, Neji, what brings you here?" she asked staring at him as he sat down next to Tenten.
"I always come here when I have free time to read my book," Neji said and Tenten stares at him oddly; he scowled at her and said, "What?"
"Oh, sorry, that's the longest sentence that I have ever heard you spoke," Tenten said and giggled. "You have a very masculine voice, that's nice."
"You sounded like my annoying fangirls," Neji pointed out.
"No, I'm not!" Tenten said defensively. Neji just rolled his eyes.
"So, you play guitar, huh." Neji said and Tenten just nodded even though she knows that what he said is a statement not a question. "Do you sing?" again Tenten nodded. "Come sing me a song," he ordered; Tenten stared at him for a while before turning her attention back to her guitar and started strumming.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh 4x
I've been roaming around
Always looking down
At all I see
Painted faces
Filled the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
Well, you know that I could use somebody
Tenten started to sing gracefully, so graceful that the Hyuga prodigy sat there staring at her in awestruck. He instantly liked hearing her voice. He smiled inwardly and glanced at Tenten who was busy singing. He doesn't really come here often. He just saw Tenten walking with her guitar and decided to follow her.
Someone like you
And all you know
And how you speak
And count these lovers
Under cover of the street
Well you know that I could use somebody Ohh.
You know that I could use somebody
Tenten looked at him and smiled. Someone like you Neji's heart started to beat fast at the look that she was giving him. Shestops strumming her guitar.
"So, that's it." She said and chuckled.
"You have a beautiful voice." Neji complemented simply. Tenten frowned a bit because of his lack of emotions.
"Thank you, hey, are you going to join us tomorrow?" she asked and found herself silently praying that he would say 'yes'. Tenten! What do you think you're doing? So what if he didn't come? Tenten silently cursed herself.
"Yes, you?" he asked and stared at her. Tenten found herself drowning in his milky orbs; before she make a total fool of herself, she looked away and answered "Yes" Oh, heart, why do you always beat fast whenever Neji is near?
Before she could say anything else, the bell rang. They stood up and almost bump at each other in surprise. Tenten frantically put her guitar back to its case while Neji dusted off his uniform. He walks to the door and opened it wide; he waits for her to get in first before going in. He smiled softly when he smelled Tenten's hair. Glam Berry suits her.
"Get up! Get up! Get up! Sasuke-nii-san, get up!" Tenten wake her brother up. Sasuke grunted and opened an eye.
"What? It's only 8:45!" he grumpily said and put a pillow on his face. Tenten smack his shoulder and Sasuke yelp. "Tenten, what do you want?! Seriously, it's Saturday!" he said angrily.
Tenten pouted and said, "We're supposed to meet the others at the amusement park in about two hours!"
"Fine! But let me sleep for ten minutes!" Sasuke said and went back to sleep.
"Okay!" Tenten beamed and kiss her brother on the cheek before going out. Sasuke smiled and doze off.
Tenten went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After that she went to her bathroom and started cleaning herself. She got out and put a pair of blue, ripped-off jeans, gray tank-top, a black leather cardigan and a pair of brown boots. After putting her hair in her usual buns, she went out of the room and saw her brother just getting up.
"You said ten minutes only!" Tenten said and put her hands in her hips. Sasuke raised his eyebrow at her. "You still have thirty minutes to prepare and eat breakfast."
Sasuke cursed and scurried inside his bathroom. Tenten chuckled and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast before brushing her teeth. She went back to her room to retrieve her ray ban glass and sling bag.
"Yo! Brother, what's taking you so long?" Tenten yelled and barged in. She saw him combing his hair and messing it at the same time. He was wearing black T-shirt, black jeans and black converse.
"Come on! We're late! Just grab a toast." Tenten ordered and went outside to start her Silver Aston Martin Vanquish v12. This baby is a gift from her dad and she loves it.
"Hey, I want to use my Convertible!" Sasuke protested.
"Then use it," Tenten grinned. "I miss driving my baby."
Sasuke grinned too and said, "Want a race?"
"You bet!" Tenten beamed and Sasuke went to his Black BMW Convertible m6 and started its engine.
When they're ready, they counted 1 to 3 and both cars started to drive fast. It's a good thing that they we're not driving on a highway. Both cars are reaching 120km/h. Tenten has the lead but when they saw the entrance to the amusement park, Sasuke speed up and almost bumped her car, she slowed down a bit so that her baby won't get a scratch; Tenten cursed at Sasuke who alreadyparked his car in front of their friends. Tenten stopped behind his car; she saw admiration from her friends and other people passing by staring at her and Sasuke's car before going out to confront her brother.
"You cheated!" Tenten accused at the 'innocent' Sasuke.
"No, I didn't. Accept it, I won." Sasuke grinned and Tenten growled; she went back to her Aston Martin toget her bag.
"Did you two race your way here?" Ino asked; she is wearing violet Tank-top, short leather shorts and a pair of black heels. Tenten nodded and smiled sheepishly.
"I love your car, Tenten!" Sakura said and grinned; she is wearing pink blouse, gray skinny jeans and a white doll shoes. "It's the latest Aston Martin Vanquish v12! Can I drive it sometimes?"
"Sure, as long as you let me drive your Mercedes s55 amg!" Tenten stated happily, she really wanted to drive Sakura's car when she first saw it.
"Deal!" Sakura said and both of them beamed. The others rolled their eyes and grinned.
"I-I want to drive y-your car too, Tenten-chan." Hinata said; she was wearing sky blue shirt, white skinny jeans and blue doll shoes.
"Me too! I'll let you drive my BMW 3 series m sport if you let me drive your Aston Martin!" Temari said; she was wearing red shirt, black shorts and a pair of black boots.
"Cool, I'll let you all drive my car in exchange you let me drive yours." Tenten said and they all cheered. The boys rolled their eyes.
"Say, where are your cars, guys? I want to see it!" She asked; Temari pointed her bright red BMW 3 series m sport; Ino pointed at her purpleChevrolet Cruze; Sakura pointed her pink Mercedes s55 amg; Kiba pointed his white Ducati 848, Sasuke and Tenten whistled in admiration; Neji pointed his black Volvo s60; Hinata pointed her blue Jaguar xf; Shikamaru pointed his gray Ford Mustang gt; Naruto pointed hiswhite Wrangler Jeep. (A/N: The cars are courtesy of my brother. He said it would be cool. *grin*)
"You all have a nice car and a bike!" Tenten said in admiration. "Kiba, your Ducati 848 is so cool!" Kiba chuckled; he was wearing gray shirt, khaki black pants and gray vans shoes. "Itachi has one, right Sasuke?" Tenten asked and Sasuke nodded.
"So, where do we go first?" Sasuke asked and looked at Sakura.
"I want to ride the roller coaster!" Sakura stated and grinned when she saw all the kids walking out of the roller coaster cart muttering, "I will never ride roller coaster again" or "I think I peed in my pants".
"Cool, let's go!" Ino said; she grabs Kiba's hand and dragged him towards the roller coaster.
"Let's go, Shikamaru!" Temari said and cling to his arm.
"What a drag." Said Shikamaru before walking to where Ino and Kiba are; he was wearing green shirt with a print that says: LAZY ASS, gray pants and black converse.
"I-I don't r-really w-want to ride the r-roller c-coaster." Hinata said and look away.
"Its okay, Hinata, let's go ride the Ferris wheel instead." Naruto said; he was wearing red shirt, black jeans and a pair of gray vans. He grabs Hinata's hand and they went to where the Ferris wheel is located.
"Come on, Sasuke!" Sakura wave at him, Sasuke smiled softly at the sight of Sakura waving at him then started grinning and looks at her and Neji.
"You coming, sis?" he asked.
"I-I don't know. Maybe I'll just look around; I really don't want to ride the roller coaster right now." Tenten said and smiled. Sasuke shrugged his shoulder and walk towards where Sakura was.
"Suit yourself." He said.
"Hey, aren't you coming with them?" Tenten asked Neji when she noticed that he wasn't moving and just staring at her. Neji was wearing white shirt, black jeans and black converse.
"No, where do you want to go?" Neji asked her.
"Wait! You're coming with me?" she asked and Neji just nodded at her. Tenten thought for a while.
"Let's go buy cotton candy!" Tenten beamed and Neji sigh but smiled. So they entered a candy shop and saw an old lady on the counter.
"Hello, young ones, how may I help you?" the old lady said and gave Tenten and Neji a warm smile.
"I want a cotton candy please!" Tenten said happily like a child, Neji couldn't help but smile at the girl who was acting like a child in front of him.
"Okay," the old lady said and went to get the cotton candy.
"Do you want one too, Neji?" Tenten asked; Neji shakes his head. Tenten was about to say something when the old lady came back holding the cotton candy and gave it to Tenten. She was about to pay for it when Neji stopped her and pay for it instead.
"It's my treat." He said when he saw Tenten raised an eyebrow.
"Thank you, Neji!" Tenten thanked him and before she realize what she was about to do, she hugged Neji to his side. They both stiffen before she release him.
Tenten and Neji were staring at each other, both still in shock of what Tenten did. Tenten was blushing furiously and cursing herself silently. The old lady laugh.
"Oh, young love, I and my husband were like that when we were just your age." She said; both of them snap back to reality when the old lady spoke; both stares at her like she was an alien. "What? Go now, you two. Run a long, enjoy your date! And boy, don't forget to kiss her when your date is over!" the old lady chuckled; Tenten just smiled and scurried out the shop with Neji following her. She didn't stop walking until she found a bench and sat down. Neji didn't sit beside her and just keep on staring at her. Tenten was blushing furiously and trying not to look at Neji.
"E-eh, Neji, s-sorry." Tenten said while head bowed down. She heard him sigh and sat down next to her.
"It's okay. Forget about." He said coolly. He sighs again when he saw that she was not eating the cotton candy and was just staring down. "Look, its okay." He grabs her chin and moves her face so that she was staring at his amazing white orbs. "Really, its okay, I'm not mad. It's just a hug, no big deal. So stop sulking and eat your candy, we still have a lot of rides to ride."
"O-okay." She said and started eating her candy. "You sure you don't want one?" she asked again.
"I'll have a bite." Neji said and took a bite on the candy. "Sweet."
"I agree, where do you want to go?" Tenten asked while eating her candy.
"How about we just walk around all the stores and booth before going to meet everyone else." Neji suggested and she nodded. They both stood up and headed to where a dart game was located. The prize if you hit the bull's eye is a big panda. Tenten was staring at it with admiration. Neji paid the guy and started playing. He hit the bull's eye and Tenten cheered.
"Way to go, Neji!" Tenten cheered and clapped her hands. Neji smiled at her; the guy gave Neji the panda.
"Here." Neji gave it to Tenten who stared at it with wide eyes.
"W-what?" she stuttered. He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Don't you like it?" he asked.
"No, I like it! It's just that you're giving it to me."
"What's wrong with that?"
"N-nothing." Tenten accepted the Panda and smiled softly. "T-thank you, Neji." She tip-toed and kissed him on the cheek.
"Y-you're welcome." Wow, Neji Hyuga stuttered? Tenten thought and grinned inwardly. She intertwined their fingers and started walking. Neji didn't pull back and keep walking with Tenten holding his hand. He smiled softly. She's the first girl who had the courage to hold his hand.
"Hey, that's HHWW!" someone shouted. Naruto both Tenten and Neji thought before turning around to see Naruto and Hinata walking towards them while holding hands too. Hinata was blushing furiously while smiling. She was also carrying a cute teddy bear.
"Hey, guys. Wow, Hinata, did Naruto won you that cute teddy bear?" Tenten asked; Hinata nodded and smiled widely.
"What's HHWW, anyway?" Neji asked Naruto; the idiot grinned like a... well, like an idiot.
"Holding Hands While Walking. Are you two a couple now?" Naruto smiled mischievously at them. Both Neji and Tenten pulled back their hands like it was on fire.
"N-no!" Tenten said defensively; Naruto just nodded but still grinning like an idiot.
"Tenten-chan, did Neji-nii-san won you the panda that you are holding?" Hinata asked; Tenten noticed that she is not stuttering, she bet that Naruto did something about it.
"Yes, he did." Tenten smiled at Neji before turning back to Hinata.
"Men, I'm hungry!" Naruto stated loudly.
"Naruto-kun, you're always hungry." Hinata teased and laugh softly; Naruto grinned and put his arm around Hinata. Tenten saw Neji glared at Naruto and gave Hinata a look. Hinata stares down, avoiding Neji's gaze.
"You're right, Hinata-chan. Let's go find the others so we can eat our lunch." Naruto said; clueless of the look that both cousins gave each other.
"Y-yeah." Hinata sadly said and pulled Naruto who obviously confused of why she was stuttering again. He looked back at Neji and Tenten.
"We'll catch up later, Naruto. Call me if you find the others, okay?" Tenten said and smiled; Naruto returned the smile and nodded. When they were gone, Tenten raised an eyebrow at Neji.
"What?" Neji asked and raised his eyebrow too.
"I saw that."
"Saw what?" Neji asked confusedly.
"I saw you glared at Naruto when he wasn't looking and you gave Hinata a look."
"What kind of look?"
"Oh, I don't know. Are you against their relationship or something, Neji?"
"What gives you an idea that I am against their relationship?"
"Are you?"
"…"
"Neji."
"Uncle Hiashi, Hinata's father, doesn't approve of Naruto and ask me to keep an eye on them." Neji admitted, Tenten stare at him with wide eyes.
"Why not? They're perfect for each other!" she said and clutch Neji's arm.
"No, I agree with Hiashi. Naruto is too wild and loud while Hinata is quite, sweet and innocent. She is the pampered child of the Hyuga Clan. She is the heiress. And Hiashi doesn't want to get Hinata involved with Naruto who ran away from his family. Yes, Naruto's family is rich but that doesn't mean he can be with Hinata. Hiashi wanted Hinata to marry a discipline man, who can protect his family and is ready to take full responsibility of the company that Hinata will inherit." Neji explained.
"But, Neji, can't you see, Naruto loves Hinata. He can protect her and I know that Naruto is willing to take that responsibility for Hinata." Tenten protested. Neji scowled then glared at her. Tenten took a slight step back.
"Let's drop this subject, Tenten. You don't know what you are talking about. It is none of your business. Let's go find the other." Neji snapped at her; Tenten shut her mouth, stares at him for a while then started walking away. She heard Neji sigh in frustration. She was furious at Neji. And how dare he snap at her like that! Can't he see that they were perfect for each other? Poor Hinata. Poor Naruto. She thought sadly; she pulled her phone and dialed Sasuke's number.
"Hey." Sasuke answered.
"Where are you?" she asked. Not knowing that Neji is just behind her a few meters away.
"Here at a Ramen House, near the carousel. Do you know how to get here?"
"Yeah, I think."
"Do you have the map of the amusement park?" Sasuke asked.
"No, I don't."
"Is Neji with you? He knows the way around."
"I-I don't know where he is. Oh, wait! There's a shop over here, I'll call you later. I'll just ask if they sell a map."
"Okay."
Tenten bit her lower lip and said, "I'll hang up now."
"Hn." Then she hung up and went inside the store.
"Hello, Ma'am. How may I help you?" A woman asked when she entered. Tenten smiled.
"Do you sell a map of the amusement park?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. Here." The woman gave it to her and paid it before walking out of the store. She opened and started following the direction to the Ramen House. When she finally found it, she sighs in relief and walks in.
Tune in for part two! See you next time!
