Chapter 3: second part of chapter 2


It was a bright sunny day and the weather was perfect for going out.

Tenten and Neji started off in the Shopping district, and, after almost 4 hours of non-stop looking into bookstore after bookstore, found nothing. "Don't you find it weird that for a well-known manga there are absolutely no remaining copies of the latest volume which has been out since last month?" Tenten said stretching her arms up as the walked.

He shrugged. "If it really is well-known it should be sold out until now."

Tenten reached for his arm, stopping both of them. Neji looked at her questioningly,but his look was ignored: she was looking the other way. Neji turned to what she was looking at and found her grinning sheepishly at him.

"Do you mind if we take a break? I haven't eaten since breakfast...Besides, I love this place!" she added seeing that he seem to agree with the break part.

She let go off him, but not in a rude way or intention, and led them to her favorite seat.

She took no hesitation in dictating to the waitress her order: cheesecake and Oolong tea. When it was Neji's turn to order, though, Tenten cut him off knowing that he won't order because she was paying. "Odango fo him and Oolong tea, too."

The waitress flashed them a smile and turned to prepare their orders.

Neji held back the glare he wanted to let loose, and instead stared at her.

Tenten knowing that he wanted to let loose his glare said, "I won't have it. I won't let someone just sit there watching me wolfe down my cheesecake, let alone some one who hasn't tasted the great food here."

Neji continued to stare at her for a while as if wanting to tell her something, but then later averted his gaze outside after letting out a weird mixture of a grunt and a "Hmph"

Tenten beamed in her victory.

The waitress arrived once again and served their food, then left to do her job.

Tenten looked like she wanted to squeal in delight at the sight of the cheesecake, and judging from the look in Neji's face she looked really weird, if not funny.

She noticed his look, and calmed herself down to remove the look from her own face, but the grin stayed. "The cheese cake here is heavenly! and it's been more than a month since I last ate here!"

Neji couldn't help but find her cute in all her giddiness. Did I just think cute? But she does when she's excited...Just gloss over that, Neji and eat your dango.

Neji took a bite, and found it just as Tenten said: heavenly.Well, it was pretty close. Who knows what "heavenly" is to the Hyuuga Neji, anyway? He swallowed, and took a sip at his tea.

Tenten, meanwhile, was already down to the half of her cake, but her tea remained untouched. She felt his gaze at her, and looked up to face him. He must think I'm really gluttonous now! She slowed down her pace a notch.

"Neji, wanna taste?" she asked innocently. He looked at her as if she was some kind of new species of mammal. Did she just ask if I want to taste her cake? Using her spoon? "I'm fine , thank you." He gently declined.

"Aw, but you're missing out on a lot! C'mon Aaaaaah-" she said, almost forcing the spoon down his throat. He almost looked flustered after taking the spoonful of cheesecake, and was that a tint of red above his cheeks?

"It's good isn't it?" she asked.

"Hn."

--

"Tadaima!!!!" Tenten announced as she tossed the keys to the table beside the door, Neji trailing behind her.

She headed to the sofa/Neji's "bed", and sat, her head leaning up the upper part of the sofa. Neji leaned on the opposite wall.

She sighed as she closed her hazel eyes. "We didn't find anything. Nope. Natta. Zip."

Amiable silence...This seem to be happening to us often...

Tenten let out another sigh and stood up. "It's about time I get to my part-time. I'll be home late."
