What Life Gives You

Chapter 4: Karaoke

"Please Tennie! Please! Please! Please! Pretty please!" keeps to say Xia.

"No. No. No. No and NO! I will not go."

"But Tennie! How can I go to a karaoke without the best singer I know?"

"Well, you go and you have fun with the losers and I stay here. Isn't easy?"

"But Tennie! I heard Sakura and Ino sing. They are NOTHING compare to you. And they said my singing was good! I mean, if they hear you, they'll be totally crush by your talent."

"Xia, I don't sing in front of people."

"You used to." I sigh.

"I USED to. Now I don't."

"Ok. Come with me and I promise you I will not force you to sing. Just come! I will really not be able to enjoy singing without you!"

I look at Xia pleading eyes. Just imagine the cat in Shrek eyes but on her. It's the same! And she knows that I can't refuse her when she does that.

"Ok…"

"YES!"

"But, they will not be happy to see me."

"I know but I'll be!"

So, the two of us go in direction of downtown to one of the biggest karaoke place.

"XIA! WE ARE HERE!" I hear Ino (I'll force myself to call them by their names) scream.

"Hi!" says happily Xia.

"You brought Tenten?" asks Sakura, disgust. No, idiot, she brought a doll of me with her.

"Yes! Does it matters?" Xia responds with big innocent eyes. That girl is worst then I.

"No…" Sakura says but add in murmur "since she's already there…"

"By the way we invite Naruto, Kiba and Hinata too." Says Ino.

Joy! Kiba will come! I hate that guy. He's like a big (wannabe) playboy. Every time I'm with him, he tries some move on me. Last time I had a project with him (the teacher had chose the team) and he tried to kiss me. I kicked him hard where the sun doesn't shine.

Naruto is Sasuke's best friend, which I never understood because Naruto is really sweet and funny compare to Sasuke who is… duck ass asshole. Naruto have an enormous crush on Sakura (don't ask me why) but Sakura always make him clear (AKA meanly) that she isn't interest.

That comes to Hinata who is Neji's cousin. She's really sweet but totally shy. Sometimes, I wonder if they are REALLY cousin but they look physically alike so yes… And Hinata has an enormous crush on Naruto but she's too shy to say anything and Naruto is too dense to see it.

I feel like tonight will be with full of drama.

"There they are!" screams Ino.

"Sorry we are late, dobe took all his sweet time." Says Sasuke.

"Shut up teme." Responds Naruto.

"Dobe."

"Teme."

"You two shut up." Says Neji. Thanks god he said it before me.

"Xia! Tenten! You two look lovely tonight!" says Kiba as he puts his arms around our waist. Xia giggles but I glare at him. He immediately gets off his arm.

"Well, we should get going." Says Neji.

Since he came to the café, three weeks ago, we never really talked. He still comes regularly to the shop but we never talk. I only ask him once why he didn't tell his friends what happen and he responds that it's not their business. I'm kind of glad he didn't said to the others.

We all enter in a private room a lot bigger then the karaoke room I went. Freaking rich people who like to show they're rich.

"So, who's starting?" asks Ino happily. She looks really excited about that.

"Xia! Why don't you start?" asks Sakura.

"Well… Tenten doesn't want to sing so I will not sing to be with her."

"Oh hell no." I look at her. "You will not make me feel guilty."

"But Tennie! You sing too well to not sing! So if you don't sing, I will not sing." She crosses her arms.

"Fine."

"Fine!"

"Well…" says Ino after the silence Xia and I made, "I'll start!"

She chooses the song "Don't Cha".

Oh hell no. One: She doesn't know how to sing. Two: I already have a low tolerance for that song. Three: This evening will be long.

Ino finish and everyone clap their hands… minus me. This was worst then… no nothing is worst. Sakura goes next. She's singing "Bleeding Love". Like she have the heart to get hurt like in the song. And every single high-pitch note, she distorts the note. It's ugly but soooooo ugly.

And it's continue, Ino, Sakura, Ino, Sakura, Ino, Sakura, a duet (who could had thought that "Gimme More" could be even MORE sluty and WORST then Britney Spears herself). I'm seriously twitching.

Now Naruto is on stage to sing "Go!!". Finally a voice that I can support!

"If you put your hand there I can guarantee you that you'll to the hospital tonight." I say to Kiba as I feel he was putting his arm around my waist after Naruto's song.

"How could you see?" he asks, surprised.

"Tenten have special powers!" exclaim Xia. We all look at her weirdly. "I mean she has super instinct! She did, in order, gymanatics at 5 years old, karate and kickboxing at 6, she started to do singing course at 7 plus guitar, she tried piano but stop fast, then she did taekwondo plus kendo that she found boring so she went in a thing with weapons at 8."

"Wait, she abandon all that?" asks Naruto.

"No. She continued karate, kickboxing, singing, guitar, taekwondo and her thing with weapons. Well she stopped karate at 11 since she was already in black belt and she said that when you beat everyone it's boring."

"But what's the weapons thing?" asks shyly Hinata. Wow, it's the first thing she looks interest.

"It's like a dance but with weapons. She was so pretty when she did it! You know the videogame "Soul Calibur"? When you go in demonstration, you can see the characters do all their moves with their weapons. Well, she did like that. Tenten have thousands of weapons at home. She has so many in her room that I'm scared to enter. But it's sad she stopped everything when…"

"XIA!" I shout and she stops. She looks at me with sorry eyes.

"Sorry." I don't respond.

I see Neji looking at me intensely. He keeps doing that! I don't understand that guy.

"Well… let's continue…" says awkwardly Ino after a silence.

"Ok! I want to do a song but I need a guy to sing with me…" says Sakura.

"ME! Sakura-chan, me!" screams Naruto.

"But Kiba didn't sing yet!" Sakura responds. "Kiba, would you mind?"

"No. What's the song?" says Kiba.

"My humps!"

The song starts and I have to say that Kiba's voice isn't that bad but Sakura… Let's say least I hear her, more I'm happy.

When I see Sakura try to do a booty shake, I start to laugh.

"I'm sure you could do better…" murmurs Xia in my ear. "You remember our super dances?"

"How can I forget?" I respond as we laugh softly.

The song (and the torment of hearing Sakura sing AGAIN) finish and everyone clap their hands.

"Sakura, while you were doing your thing, Xia said that Tenten could do it better." Says Ino, glancing at me.

"Don't make me laugh Xia, Tenten may be good with weapons and in martial arts but I don't believe she can do that." Responds Sakura. Uh-oh.

"Yes she can! And better then you! Sorry Sakura, but Tenten have a real talent in that!" responds Xia.

"I will believe when I'll see it." Sakura responds, looking at me. I just realize that all the eyes were on me.

"Sorry. I don't sing in public." I respond in a sigh.

"Please Tennie! Do it for me!" I look at Xia who have her "Shrek's cat" eyes.

"Xia… Don't force me…"

"She doesn't even like her cousin enough to do that. She must really be scared." Says Sakura "subtly" to Ino.

What? Say that I'm scared pass but say that I don't like Xia enough AND that I'm scared? This girl needs a lesson.

"You know what? I changed idea." I get up from my seat.

I know exactly what song to take to shut those two wannabes. I get off my sweater to show my "Hello Kitty" t-shirt and get off my buns on my head. Only from that, they're surprise. I go on the stage and put the song.

The song "Ain't No Other Man" starts and I sing. It took me time to get Christina Aguilera's high-pitch notes but now, I have them perfectly. And with this song, I can help but move my hips and dance.

The song finishes and I sit back to my seat. Xia is clapping her hands happily while everyone is too shock to do anything.

"Happy?" I say to Sakura and Ino, a smile on my face.

"Tennie! That was… wow! And you didn't want to sing! I mean, OH MY GOD!" Xia is totally excited.

"It was AMAZING!" screams Naruto.

"Thanks."

"Well, I have to approve that it wasn't that bad." Says Sakura after the shock.

"Not bad? You mean she completely wiped you guys!" replies Kiba to receive a glare. "Sorry but that's true."

"It's getting late, we should get going." Ino says, losing all the happiness.

"Who goes with who?" asked Sasuke once we get out of the building. I think it's the first time he open his mouth till the start of the evening.

"If we goes by logic, I should take Hinata-sama, of course, Kiba, Xia and Tenten."

"I can walk." I exclaim.

"No you can't." replies Xia.

"Let's do like Neji says." Responds Sasuke.

"Bye everyone!" says Naruto while the rest just go.

"Sakura and Ino are really piss off." Says Kiba when we are all in the car.

"I know! It's the first time I see Sakura-san that frustrated." Adds Hinata.

"They merited this. They think they're good at everything, so seeing someone beat them is good." Says calmly Neji.

"You are in my side?" I ask, surprised.

"No. But they'll calm themselves for a moment which will be better for me."

"I thought so." I mumble.

"We are here!" screams happily Xia. "Thanks for the lift!"

We get out of the car but when I'm about to walk away Neji give me a piece of paper.

When I turn to look at him, the car is already going away.

I enter my apartment (I still can't say that it's Xia's apartment too) and go directly in my room. I open the piece of paper to see Neji neat writing.

I want to know you but do you want to know me?
I want to see you but do you want to see me?
You said curiosity killed the cat but wouldn't I be happier to know?
If you're curious to know what all that means, come at this address tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Neji
