Chapter 4—I Like Pie
Torture.
This was what this is.
Pure, torture.
"Let's go to the party, Sasuke!!" Naruto yelled, barging into the un-locked room of Sasuke's.
Speak of the devil.
As much as Sasuke would like to get away from him, he couldn't. He knew that coming to this cruise was a mistake, even since he saw the pink hair girl on the ship. He couldn't make himself utter her name, for it brought back painful memories to him. Another sad fact that this cruise was a mistake, was that there was no where to go when Naruto started annoying him. Sure, he used to just knock him out, to have some peace and quiet, but when he started receiving medical bills he had to pay… he got rid of that idea as fast as he could.
His alternative for getting rid of Naruto was distracting him with someone else; since Sasuke knew that he had a short attention span. It worked for a while too, until Sasuke was short on things to distract him with.
He knew that running away from his problem would never solve the fact that Naruto kept bothering him, but it did for a while. Usually, Naruto never came to look for him, but left him alone to go bother the others. But now, stuck in a ship with no where to go along with squealing girls every where he turned… it was torture.
Pure, horrid, torture.
"Let's go!!" Naruto whined, bouncing around his room.
No, he really wasn't bouncing.
But Sasuke bet that if you prick him with a pin, he'll go flying around the room like a deflated balloon. He sighed as he continued to watch Naruto bounce from place to place. "Go by yourself," he said finally, when he was tired of watching Naruto.
He frowned. "It's not fun going by myself," he stated as he sat on the edge of Sasuke's bed.
"Then go with the others," he said, thankful that Naruto was seated, and not up and about, bouncing around the room.
"But I don't know where they are!" Naruto whined once again.
"So go find them," Sasuke said, getting annoyed by each second Naruto was in his room.
Naruto got up, and Sasuke feared the fact that he was going to start bouncing in the room once again. "No need to get angry," he muttered, walking out of his room.
Sasuke raised a brow at Naruto's actions.
Now that was a first.

"Hinata-sama."
The motive for going to her room was clear to him, but he didn't know if it was clear to her. He didn't know why, but he was itching to go to that party, to see if she was there. Absurd, he knew it was. But he knew that he couldn't be seen in there alone. Because, of course, why would Hyuuga Neji be at a party by himself?
"Y-Yes, Neji-niisan?" Her timid voice answered back, as she looked up at him.
That was a first for him, to come into Hinata's room. She was surprised by the fact that he had come willingly, without being reluctant and without any glares at her. She didn't know why, but she knew that he always had some kind of grudge against her. As much as she tried to find out why he was always angry at her, the angrier he got.
So instead of spending every summer with him at his house that he lived alone in, she went to this cruise instead, when she picked up the pamphlet at the mall. But she didn't know that her father would send Neji and his friends… to be a babysitter for her. Even she at first thought that it was ludicrous when she heard it from her father, the day that she boarded on the cruise.
Why Neji wasn't with him, she didn't know. But she knew for a fact that Neji never did favor her father, nevertheless get in the same car as him and drive for an hour down to the ship.
"Are you going to be attending the party?" He asked, breaking into Hinata's thoughts.
She blinked at him, wondering what he had just asked. A minute later, the question dawned to her, and she shook her head quickly, in fear that her hesitancy might piss him off.
"Ah, no, Neji-niisan," she replied quickly. "A-Are you thinking of attending it…?"
Neji didn't say anything but walk out the door swiftly, ignoring her question. He wasn't going to admit that he was actually going to go to a party… because of a girl, was he? And one that he doesn't even know, too. "Good-bye, Hinata-sama," was his last words before he disappeared from Hinata's sight.
Hinata looked after him, confused. 'When did Neji-niisan become interested in parties?'
-
Hectic.
It was even more wild than the party was yesterday, if that was even possible. Tenten sighed as she scratched her head. Her hair was in a ponytail, while Sakura was taking a different approach and wore it down like she usually does. Sakura looked over at why Tenten seemed so tense. She seemed fine before, but when they came closer to the ball room, she kept tensing up.
"Tenten, are you alright?" Sakura asked, her voice laced with concern.
She nodded, not hearing a word Sakura said. The music drowned out her voice as she opened the door, the lights blinding her. Beside her, Tenten swore Sakura said things about, 'this is the reason why the world is dying,' or something like that.
Tenten grinned to herself as she heard that. Now that she thought about it, Sakura seemed to be the tree hugger type.
"Why are you smiling to yourself?" Sakura asked, looking at Tenten weirdly.
Tenten stopped grinning, and looked at Sakura. "Oh nothing, nothing at all," she said with a small smile.
"Now," Sakura said, as she walked through the people who were near the entrance, "why are you so tense?"
Tenten looked at the back of Sakura's head, raising a brow, "What are you talking about?"
"You're tense," she repeated. "Are you nervous about seeing the guy you were talking to yesterday here? Are you even sure if he's going to be here?" She asked, turning back to look at Tenten.
Tenten rolled her eyes. "Oh please, Sakura. Why would I come here for a guy?" She lied, looking at Sakura.
Sakura looked skeptically at Tenten, before sighing and continue walking towards an empty table. 'Either she's in denial, or she just plain doesn't want to see him,' Sakura thought, as she looked at Tenten from the corner of her eye, 'Whatever. I won't beat her up for an answer.'
She pulled a chair out, and sat down. She watched Tenten imitate her actions, gulping down a cup of punch. "So, what now?" Sakura asked, looking around at the people dancing.
Tenten shrugged. "You're the one who wanted to come," she said, as she also looked around.
Sakura bit her lip as she watched the other girls laugh and dance with each other. She sighed, looking back at Tenten. "I'm going to go to the bathroom, alright?"
Tenten raised a brow at her. "But we just got here," Tenten complained, drumming her fingers on the purple clothed table. "You didn't even drink anything yet."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "I just need to get out of here. Wanna come with me? There's nothing else to do here, anyways."
Tenten sighed as she got up, taking one last look at the people at the party. "I'll walk you to the door. It's not like I have anything else to do for the rest of the night, anyways."
They both walked over to the door, both too into their thoughts to talk about something. Tenten stopped as soon as they were in front of the door. Tenten turned to Sakura, and said, "Have fun with your paint sets," Tenten said, grinning at Sakura.
Sakura smiled back at her. "Don't do anything I wouldn't at this party, Tenten!"
With that, she disappeared from Tenten's view. She walked back to the table she was previously sitting at, but found out that another group of girls had already taken it.
'How come this feels like déjà vu?' Tenten thought, as she turned on her heel and started walking to a wall.
'If he doesn't come, this will be a wasted night,' she thought, sighing.

"Neji!" Naruto shouted, as he got a glimpse of his head as he turned the corner.
Neji abruptly stopped in his tracks, as he heard the blonde's voice. He looked around to see if anyone was near, and started walking a bit faster in his pace. He could hear Naruto calling his name again, running faster to him.
'I don't have time for this nonsense,' Neji thought, walking faster, ignoring his calls.
Too bad that didn't work out.
Naruto grabbed Neji's shirt, which prevented him from walking any faster. "Neji! Didn't you hear me? Why are you walking so fast? Is there someone you don't wanna see? You know, I felt the same way once, when I saw this kid that I hated so much! So, you wanna—?"
"Naruto," Neji said, cutting off Naruto as he pushed his hand off of his shirt, "please do shut up."
Naruto blinked at Neji as he scratched the back of his head. He broke into a sheepish grin. "Oh, right! You don't like being touched! I'm sorry Neji, but you were walking so fast, it was as if you were trying to get away from me!"
Neji sighed as he leaned on the wall. Oh, how he would love the fact that he could just knock out Naruto right now, but he didn't want to be billed from the hospital again.
"What do you want?" Neji asked disinterestedly, as he wanted to get away from Naruto as fast as possible. The party's loud music was giving him a headache, and as much as he wanted to go to the party, he couldn't, since he would soon be found out that he was going to a party… because of a girl.
Naruto blinked at Neji once again, wondering what in the world he was talking about. Neji narrowed his eyes at Naruto, annoyed at the fact that he forgot what he was going to ask him. He pushed himself off of the wall, and started walking away.
But before he could take the first step, Naruto stopped him once again. "Oh! Right! Neji, you wanna go to the party with me?"
Neji turned around, raising a brow at Naruto. Even though he wanted to say yes, he didn't want to, because his friends would ask him over and over on why he would go to the party with Naruto of all people. Deciding to decline, he replied, "Sorry, Naruto. I'm straight, not gay."
Naruto stared at Neji, not getting the not-so-funny joke that Neji just said. Neji sighed. "No, I don't want to go. Ask Shikamaru," he said, as he walked away quickly, in fear of Naruto stopping him once again.
Naruto sighed as he got what Neji was talking about. "No one wants to go…" Naruto muttered to himself. "And I wanted to prank that girl at the party for being mean to me…" He sighed as he turned around.
"Oh well," he said cheerfully. "There's always tomorrow!"

Sasuke stared at the white ceiling of his room. He sighed in boredom as he continued staring. He started counting the spots on his ceiling, for there was nothing else to do. He was up to fifty, when he heard sudden laughter. It was hard to concentrate with all the noise from the party, even if it was just the laughter.
As soon as he reached a hundred, he closed his eyes. 'This has got to be the most boring summer,' Sasuke thought tiredly. He opened his eyes, and got up from the bed. Knowing that most of the girls were at the party, he thought that it was safe to walk outside without being harassed by teenage girls.
Opening his door quietly, he stuck his head outside. Once he saw no one, he stepped out into the humid summer night. He walked around aimlessly, not even bothering the fact that he could get lost on the cruise ship.
He stopped at certain place, an open area with benches for teenagers to lounge around. There seemed to be no one there, but Sasuke couldn't be sure. As he walked closer to a bench, he made out a figure of a girl, sitting there and watching the moon high up in the sky. He kept staring at the girl's head, wondering why she was sitting there when she could have been at the party.
Suddenly, he heard a noise. It was a scratching noise, like pencil on paper. It was then he realized that the girl must've been sketching something, most likely the moon in the sky. He stood still, afraid that he made a single noise, the peacefulness would be gone. He closed his eyes as he breathed out silently. It had been a while since he had felt this way. He wondered who the girl was, and why he felt peaceful around her.
And just then, the peacefulness was broken. He had taken a step forward, which made a small noise. But even with a noise that small, the girl stopped sketching. She turned her head a bit, to see who it was, but Sasuke couldn't see the girls face. He could feel her tense up for some reason, and got up suddenly.
He was about to call out to her, but she walked away quickly before he could say anything. She walked right past him, with her head down. Sasuke was determined to see who it was, but missed it. As soon as she disappeared from his view, he cursed at himself silently, for disrupting the peace that had once been there.

'He's not coming.'
'He's coming.'
'He's not coming.'
'He's coming.'
'He's not—WHO THE HELL TOUCHED ME?!'
Tenten looked around, alarmed by the fact that someone touched her private spot. No one was near her, though. Tenten sighed, calming down.
'That's it. I'm out of here,' Tenten thought, walking towards the door. 'Should've known that he wasn't going to come,' she thought, sighing in defeat.
'Why do I even want to see him? He seems like an arrogant bastard,' she thought, pushing the door open, letting it slam behind her.
She felt the humid summer air hit her face, and she sighed once again. Tenten guessed it had to be around nine or ten, since the sun had set already, and blackness was started to fill the place. She walked slowly to her room, her mid deep in her thoughts.
Just when she was about to turn, she bumped into a hard, masculine chest. She fell down on her butt, wincing in pain. She heard the other grunt, as he fell down too, Tenten guessed. She looked at the person she bumped into, and realized that he was the same person that she had met at the party.
"Are you going to get up, or continue to stare?" His deep voice reached her ears, and she blushed.
She was thankful for the fact that it was dark, and he couldn't see her blush. She got up quickly, not even offended the lack of mannerism the teenage boy seemed to have. As he started to walk away, not even apologizing for bumping into her, she panicked.
The guy she was waiting for all night was in front of her, and she was willing to let him walk away.
"Wait!" She shouted, not even thinking about what would happen afterwards.
He stopped, and turned towards her. He raised a brow (though she wasn't sure if that was what he was doing, but it seemed like the time to do it) at her sudden exclamation. "What?" He asked.
She closed her eyes as soon as she heard his voice. It was like a melody to her—she wondered why she hadn't realized it yesterday. Snapping out of her thoughts, she opened her eyes quickly. "U-uh," she stammered, wondering what to say.
She heard him sigh at her, and turned around.
Oh no.
She wasn't letting this chance slip by.
"I like pie!"
'Nice one, Tenten.'
The title isn't a song, just so you guys know(: It would be cool if that was a song title, wouldn't it? x) Hahahh.
So, so, this was a faster update, wasn't it? xD I'm so bored at home… There's nothing to do, and yet, I feel too lazy to type anything, but I made myself type this chapter out(: I just felt like updating(x It's short, sorry): And it might be… boring-ish, lols. I can't stand this. I can't stay home, doing nothing. I want to go out, but no one's available):
So because of that, there might be an update for my stories—I have no idea which one—sometime this week, or the next(: Hold your horses! I'm working on 6 Months, but I have ADD. T.T I tend to zone out when I'm writing a chapter for 6 Months, lols.
