A/N: Sorry For The Late And Double Update.. Accidentally Forgot About The Replace Chapter Thing I Could Do.... Here's A Long Chapter To Make Up For The Update-less Period :]
Chapter 4: A Secret Night Life
Tenten paced back ad forth, ignoring her friends who were sitting on her bed, calm.
"Tenten-chan! You're making me dizzy!" Miyo groaned, darting her eyes up, then back to her phone screen, texting someone.
"Yeah Tenten.. They're supposed to call us any minute. Why so nervous?" Satsuki rolled her eyes at Tenten's nervousness. Haku sat nearby, pouring some tea into a ceramic cup.
"Patience Tenten..." Haku blew on the surface of the liquid, and took a sip, grinning brightly. Miyo snatched up another cup, and drank it slowly.
"Always the best tea..." Miyo sighed, staring dreamily at the ceiling, holding onto her cup. Tenten glared at her friends, and continued to pace, biting her thumb nail. Miyo glared at the offending habit, and muttered something about a poor nail..
At that moment, a loud hard rock tune came on, and Tenten dived towards her cell phone, pressing the pick-up button.
"Hello?" She asked smiling. She already knew who it was.
"Is it Zabuza?" Satsuki whispered, smirking at Haku, who almost dropped the teapot, and smacked her on the arm.
"Yeah Zabuza! We're all ready! What's up there?"
"Hey boss. These two guys from a new gang in town came. They won't leave, so we thought you could handle it. Come down where you always do, and we'll lead them in." Zabuza spoke on the other line, quickly hanging up after that. He was never a talker.
"Looks like we got some people trying to negotiate today!" Tenten grinned, looking at her friends, who were now grinning back.
"Let's go! It's show time!" Haku leaped off the bed, and grabbed her jacket off a nearby chair. Tenten walked out, turning the lights off after Miyo. They all climbed into her car, and she started the engine.
"Remember! We have school tomorrow!" Satsuki pointed out, buckling up. Tenten just revved her engine, and smirked.
Different Point Of View:
Ren tapped his foot on the hard stone floor, glaring at all the people in the room. He didn't get how THIS was a gang's "headquarters". The floor was sleek, and made of marble. From the ceiling hung a crystal chandelier, and chairs stood throughout the whole room, except for behind the black, neat desk that stood in front of the door. Even the members of the "gang" were clean, dressed in suits, or just normal, and clean clothes. This was the waiting room... The people stared at him warily, making him nervous. His partner that he had been sent to "visit" with was currently out, taking a smoke.
Suddenly, a group of about six people walked in, and all the people in the room straightened up, giving them their respect. In the front was a harsh looking guy, with a long black, leather trenchcoat that was unbuttoned, a snug white turtle neck underneath, chains wrapped around it. He wore crimson red bondage pants, with a whole bunch of zippers, and a black headband that head his spiky black hair back. His eyes were fierce and he had no eyebrows, his mouth pulled down in a frown. He wore torn, leather boots and knuckle gloves adorned his hands. Behind him were more ragged looking people. A few guys, some girls. They were the ones that looked more like people that belonged in a gang. The eyebrow less man stopped in front of him, and spoke.
"The bosses will see you now. Please follow me." His voice was loud, and emotionless. His eyes were like stone too. No emotions flickered across his face. He betrayed nothing.
"I though you said that they weren't here yet." Ren replied, staying where he was.
"I did. Now they're here."
"But they haven't even walked through this hall. I only saw one entrance."
"Tsukigomi-san. It's best not to ask questions." with that, the man walked off towards the door, and waited for Ren to catch up. Turning the handle, he opened the door and walked in, quickly walking over to a chair in the corner, sitting down, and closing his eyes. Nonetheless, Ren knew he was alert. The other five people took stations outside the door, each shouting a "Hey!" into the room, and greeted with a waving hand.
Ren surveyed the room. The walls were pitch black, and a bigger chandelier than the one outside hung from the middle of the room. The floors were made out of the same black marble as the rest of the building, and gold and black furniture stood throughout the room. In the middle, though, was one big couch where four figures were sitting. The lights were dimmed so Ren couldn't see very well who they were. There was a table in front of them, a tea kettle sitting on it, and several cups were placed on the table. Otherwise, the room was bare.
Ren walked over to the couch, and sat across from the four, not even thinking about his partner. He could stay out in the "waiting room" for all her cared. Her looked up, and saw the faces of four teens staring back at him.
"Is this a joke?" he blurted out, looking skeptically at the four. They were probably only around sixteen or eighteen years old. One of them, when he asked that, got up, and smirked. Her hair was dark brown, pulled up in a genie ponytail. She was dressed more like someone he would see around the cities, not like some rich snob. She stepped forward, and whipped out a long, sleek katana, holding it up to his throat, that he didn't realize what she was doing until she was standing in front of him, grinning widely, eyes angry.
"It might be, but you'd better hope it wasn't," she answered, pressing the katana harder, then sliding it back into the scabbard. Ren swallowed hard, and felt his neck.
"Tea?" One of them asked politely, hand gestured towards the cup. Ren nodded, and she poured some steaming green tea into one cup, and slid it over to his side of the table.
"Well! What'd you come here for?" This one was more perky. She was wearing bright colors, her hair bright blond, and she was sitting there, blowing on her nails, and painting them neon pink.
"I-I came here to ask if your gang would like to buy." Ren hefted his suitcase onto the table, making it bang, and earning him a glare from the one who had offered him tea.
"Buy what?" This one was a visual kei. That much he knew already.
"Some drugs." He popped the top open, and revealed the whole thing to be packed with different drugs. The one who had pressed the knife to his throat snorted.
"So..... Mr.....?" the bright one asked.
"Ren is fine. If I may, what are your names?" He was one of the only polite ones in his gang. That was why he was always sent to do the negotiating.
"I'm Satsuki. She's Miyo, that's Tenten, and our little lady, Haku." Satsuki gestured to each in turn, Miyo giving a energetic wave before going back to her nails.
"Mr. Ren. Your gang must be new in town!" Miyo replied, focused on the mini paintbrush and the rhinestones that she was gluing on now.
"Yes. How did you know?" Ren was curious. Was it that obvious?
"You don't seem to know who we are." Tenten curtly added, finger resting on the hilt of her weapon.
"No."
"Well. I'll tell you. We're a gang that isn't like the others. Sure, we fight and stuff, but only if provoked to the fullest intent. We don't deal with drugs, since those are for the low-life losers who think that that's the only way to feel good. And we don't go around dressed like hobos and cussing in every sentence. Got it?" Tenten hissed, glaring over at him. He gulped, and closed his suitcase. Well obviously, they weren't interested.
"Then I'll get going." Ren stood up stiffly. The girls frightened him. Sure, they were just sitting there, acting as if they didn't have a care in the world, but they emitted the most darkest feeling when he had mentioned drugs. Like he had insulted them immensely. He walked to the door swiftly, and walked out as Zabuza opened it, and dragged his partner with him.
"Zabuza-san! Sit down. You've had some long nights." Haku gestured over for him to sit down as he closed the door. He nodded, and walked over to sit where Ren had sat a minute ago. Haku poured him some strong tea, and handed him the cup, smiling. Zabuza took a sip, and smiled as he tasted the sweet and bitter tea.
"Excellent tea as always Haku." Zabuza smiled, and Haku blushed, while Tenten and the girls giggled at her.
"My my. That guy just made my blood boil. What does he take us as? Idiots?" Satsuki sighed, and leaned back, closing her eyes.
"Unlike those idiots, our senses are better than theirs since WE don't do drugs..." Tenten muttered.
"Awww... Calm down! You scared the poor fella. A delicious looking fella too.." Miyo licked her lips, and smirked, her eyes going dark for a second.
"You're going psycho again..." Haku pointed out. Miyo snapped out of it and smiled.
"No biggy!" She went back to painting her nails to the perfection, taking sips of tea in between. Tenten sighed, and ran her hand through her hair. They had done their best to make their "gang" look not-so-bad-ass. They were the most known on the streets, and their groups consisted of only those who did not cuss in every sentence, those who were strong enough, or just simple eye-candy. The four girls were the leaders, and they surprised people with their young age. Of course, that just pissed them off. Whenever drug dealers from other gangs came, they simply chased them off.
Their gang was perfect. Not even the police suspected some of the biggest accidents to be the fault of their gang. When a police did storm the building, all they would find were nicely dressed rich people, talking amongst themselves, and a few suspicious looking people around. Then, when they saw the girls, they would stop thinking suspiciously at all. I mean, how could anyone suspect those four, sweet looking, tea-drinking girls? Suckers.... That's all Tenten had to say.
"By the way... Whose group was that person from?" Haku asked, putting her tea down. Zabuza mimicked the action, and got serious.
"By what I have found out in the short amount of time, her was from the Hebi group. Currently the most notorious group there is in Konoha. They stand at the top with drug and weapon deals, and their group has some of the most best fighters there are." Zabuza quickly looked at this file to see if her had left out anything important. "I believe that is all there is that is important.. Actually... The group is run by a person named Orochimaru."
"Thank you...." Satsuki smiled. That had done no good... There was nothing special about that group.
"We'll beat them soon..." Miyo giggled, blowing on her work. Tenten rolled her eyes and stood up.
"I'm going on a walk..." She walked out the door, and nodded to everyone who nodded their heads in respect towards her. They felt no embarrassment at bowing to a high schooler. Especially since she could take them all on at once, and kick their asses big time.
As she got outside, Tenten breathed the night air silently, looking around. Looked like the area was empty. Satisfied, she walked down the street, starting at a steady jog. The night was quiet, and allowed her to think. She would have to go to school tomorrow. That was a big downer... The good thing was that she had the ability to wake up at the needed time with no troubles, so sleeping late was no trouble. It was already past midnight anyways. And for some reason, she was never tired. She never found that weird though.
Hmmmm... Wonder what's for breakfast.... Tenten sniffed, spacing off. She continues running through the streets, lost in her thoughts.
"Ooof!" Tenten blinked and shook her head. She had just run into a perfectly chiseled chest. A sexy perfectly chiseled chest... Shaking her head again, she stood there, frozen.
"You okay? Sorry I wasn't watching where I was going..." Tenten had heard that voice before... That somehow soothing voice...
"You!" Tenten jumped back, and pointed an accusing finger at the man.
"My my... Well if it isn't you... What a wonderful way to be greeted..." Neji rolled his eyes and pulled his hand through his hair.
"What are you doing here?!?" Tenten yelped, still pointing.
"I would appreciate it if you lowered that offending finger... If you must know, I live here..." With that, he pointed to a HUGE mansion that was behind them.
"Oh..." Tenten's mouth was shaped in a perfect "O" shape, that almost made Neji chuckle. Almost. Instead, he just smirked.
"Your name was Tenten right? I'm Neji. May I be the one asking what you're doing here?" he continued smirking, his eyes barely visible from the shadow of his hood, but it was obvious that he found her amusing.
"I----I-----I was just going home!" Tenten said quickly, wincing when Neji raised an eyebrow.
"Alright... I won't ask why you're lying." Neji frowned slightly, then sighed. "Sorry. Got to go.." Just as Neji turned around, Hinata saw four people stick their heads out of the window.
"NEJI!! COME HERE!!!" Sakura, Ino, Temari, and Hinata yelled through the window.
"Actually..... If it has something to do with those four, I'd rather not go..." Neji grimaced at seeing the make up brushes in their hands. Tenten was giggling.
"NEJI!! YOU LOOK PRETTY AS A GIRL!! COME ON!!! WE HAVE TO TAKE A PICTURE THIS TIME!!!! THE LAST TIME WAS WHEN YOU WERE 6!!! WE GOTTA UPGRADE!" They yelled, gesturing for Neji to come.
"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Neji hollered back, walking away, taking Tenten with him.
"DON'T MA—---- Oh! I SEE!! YOU'RE WITH A GIRL! ALRIGHT! WHEN YOU RETURN THEN!!!" Sakura grinned, evilly. Neji wondered how Sasuke, Naruto, and Sai were faring... Actually... He'd rather not learn about how it had turned out for them.
"You have funny friends!" Tenten was still giggling into her hand, trying to be quiet.
"That's what you say... You don't wake up to find them trying to sabotage your face every morning.." Neji shuddered.
"Hey! Want to come with me? Back to the base? I think it's alright for you to know." Tenten winked at him before he could ask, and pulled him back in the direction from where she had come.
"Where are we going?" Neji glanced around the empty street before seeing the single black building that stood there. It looked like a mini mansion. Tenten walked up, and pushed the door open.
"Tenten-san. Welcome back!" People greeted, bowing, and giving Neji weird looks.
"What the hell?" Neji muttered, glancing around. The whole place was furnished well. First-class like to be exact. And everyone in the rooms that they passed through were well-dressed and well mannered. Until they got to The Door (As Neji had seen fit to name). In front were a rowdy bunch of people, dressed in street clothes, and conversing with the others, guarding the door?
"Tenten! Hey! What's up? Back from your jog already? Who's the hunk?" A girl asked, grinning to Tenten, and giving her a high-five.
"Hey! Yeah I'm back! And this is Neji. Well I'm going in!" Tenten pushed The Doors open, and jumped out of the way, just in time to dodge Zabuza, running towards them, a HUGE sword in his hands.
"Shit!" Neji knew he could move fast, but he had to pretend he was human right? So he jumped back fast, leaning out of Zabuza's reach.
"GO ZABUZA! WOO! YEAH!" Satsuki yelled through the open doorway. Neji saw Tenten, smiling on the couch, watching the fight. Inwardly sighing, Neji slid the hidden dagger in his sleeves into his hand, and swung upward, catching Zabuza's blade in a block.
Hn... Pretty strong for a human... But not strong enough.. Neji smirked at Zabuza's calm face, and pushed the dagger upward, sending both blades up, and both opponents jumped back, avoiding the attack that followed the moment of weakness. Neji leaned forward, arms behind him, and ran up to Zabuza fast, and in seconds, he was right in behind him, causing the man to widen his eyes. Neji calmly placed his dagger on Zabuza's neck, and smiled.
"Game over."
"BRAVO! I haven't seen a decent fight in forever... How'd you bump into him? And how did you know he was a fighter?" Miyo asked, taking a cookie off of the plate on the table.
"Oh, he lives around here, and he was on the run from his friends who wanted to give him a makeover. Apparently, he looks good as a girl.... And he just had the build of a fighter! How could anyone miss that?" Tenten nodded, satisfied with her explanation. Zabuza had put his sword back into the hidden part of the corner where he had sat a while ago, and nodded at Neji, making it known that he could come in.
"What was that? Are you girls incapable of giving a decent "Hello"?
"Nope. Gotta have some action when away from school!" Satsuki chirped. Haku just shook her head, and poured an extra cup of tea and handed it to Neji. He gave it an experimental sip, and finding it not that bad, continued drinking it. He sat on a chair across from the girls, where Zabuza was, and watched the girls as they talked.
"So! Neji!When did you move into the neighborhood?" Miyo asked, grinning.
"Today. I find this place quite agreeable to live in." Neji answered.
"Neh! Who were those people with you earlier in the city?" Satsuki asked, curious.
"Those were my friends that are staying with me. The girl with the eyes like mine is my cousin." Neji took another sip from the cup and set it down again.
"How do all of you fit in the house?" Haku raised her eyebrow, curious.
"You should have seen his house..... IT WAS HUUUUGGEEE!!!!" Tenten gestured with her arms, eyes wide.
"That is my uncle's house. He let us borrow it while he stays at his bigger house."
"Woah.... So it gets BIGGER?" Tenten was trying to imagine something like that. She lived in a normal sized house, so she had never been in a big house before.
"Well if you'll excuse me, I have to go." Zabuza got up, and nodded to the girls.
"Alright! By Zabu-chii!!" Miyo waved happily, not noticing the narrowing of Zabuza's eyes. Satsuki laughed.
"Bye bye 'Zabu-chii'!" Tenten waved too, trying to keep her laughter in. Zabuza walked out briskly, ignoring the laughter behind him.
"I have to go too..." Neji also got up, walking towards the door.
"Alright Neji! Bye bye! See you sometime... Have no idea when!" Miyo waved to him too.
"We should all get going..." Haku sighed, and started gathering her tea supplies.
"Oh right! I have to go to sleep! I'll be too tired in the morning!" Satsuki jumped up, and ran out. "Bye guys! See you tomorrow!"
Neji then walked out, remembering clearly which ways to go to get to the door. He didn't look back once. But there was something.... Something about that girl that just drew him to her. Neji was determined to find out.
Next Day:
"Tenten! Get out! You'll be late!" Tenten finished pulling her socks on, and jumped off of her bed.
"Coming mom! Keep your wig on!" She called out, cheerily.
"What did you say?!? You ungrateful little----"
"Honey..... She's messing with you..." Tenten giggled as she ran down the stairs, and saw her parents in the kitchen, her mom gripping a spatula like it was her life, and her dad calmly reading the newspaper at the table.
"I know.. Hurry up! Go go go!" Tenten's mom ushered her out, hurrying her along.
"Jeez! I'm going! I'm going!" Tenten smiled at her mom, and ran out the house. "Bye!" Once she reached the road, she slowed down a bit, joining the students already walking down the hill, towards either Konoha High, or Suna High, their neighbor school. Tenten ran towards Konoha High, wanting to get a little early at least. When she reached the school. She slipped her bag off of her shoulder and walked over to her locker to get her shoes. Gathering her books and slipping her shoes on, she walked o her classroom where two people would be waiting for her.
"Tenten! Come here! Haku already went to her class!" Satsuki gestured for her to come join the little circle.
"Haku and her stupid advanced brain..." Miyo muttered, before brightening again.
"So! Yesterday was fun! Think out gang should go on a raid tonight?" Tenten put her bag next to her seat, ignoring the glances that people gave her.
"Nah.. To much of a hassle! It's so funny... People still respect us...." Miyo giggled, glancing around at everyone that was staring at her.
"Of course! We're pretty, athletic, and pretty smart...." Satsuki counted off of her fingers.
"Conceited much?" Tenten snorted, receiving a smack on her shoulder.
"Alright class! Settle down and get to your seats! I have an announcement to make!" Kakashi entered the classroom, smacking the surface of his desk with a folder. Everyone scurried to their desks, and leaned forward, interested by what their teacher had to say.
"We have some new students!" Right then, everyone started whispering amongst themselves.
"Is it a girl?"
"It HAS to be a guy!"
"A hot one..."
"You know... He said studentssss. Plural." Someone remarked from the back. During this time, Tenten had been doodling in her notebook, not really paying attention.
So what if they had a new student? Nothing special....
"You can come in now." Kakashi called over to the door. The classroom was silent as the door opened, and someone stepped in. Five people. At that moment, the girls all squealed as the guys groaned.
"Another guy... And they'll steal all the girls!"
"Introduce yourselves please..." Then, as he said that, three girls and another guy walked in, smiling.
"Hello.... My name is Sasuke Uchiha." Everyone (Except Tenten) was staring at the new people. They all looked so...... perfect. Sasuke had black hair, mouth pulled down in a slight frown, and obsidian black eyes.
"I'm Sakura Haruno! Nice ta meet 'ya!" Sakura beamed, waving. The guys were already drooling. This one had pink hair and deep, green eyes. Her skin was perfect, and her lips were slightly puckered, giving her an overall cute look.
"I'm Naruto! What's shaking?" He grinned, teeth white, and contrasting against his slightly tanned skin. His blue eyes were bright, and looked like a friendly person.
"I---I'm Hinata Hyuuga." Hinata blushed, twiddling with her fingers. Hinata had long black hair, bangs sometimes covering her eyes, and her eyes were white.
"And I'm Neji Hyuuga. Pleasure." Neji sighed, uninterested.... Until a certain someone fell off of their chair..
"Tenten... Do you have something to say?" Kakashi raised his eyebrows, looking at Tenten, sitting on the floor, mouth open, eyes wide, and a finger pointing at Neji.
"Y-Y-Y-You!" Tenten gasped, staring at Neji.
"Oh. Tenten. Nice to see you here." Neji smirked, looking at Tenten as she blushed, realizing all the eyes on her.
"So you know each other?" Sakura asked, looking back and forth.
"Oh! That was the girl from last night! Good pick Neji!" Ino flashed a thumbs up at Neji, smiling.
"Ino....." Neji growled, glaring over at Ino. She just giggled.
"Alright.... You guys can pick a seat anywhere." Kakashi waved a hand absently towards the empty seats, and Ino immediately ran over to a seat in the back with Sai, Sakura, and Sasuke. Hinata sat in front of Naruto in one row, and Neji walked over to an empty seat next to Tenten.
"Tenten! Will you please sit in your seat now? Or do you plan to sit on the ground like that for the whole time?" Tenten bolted up, and sat in her seat, glaring a bit over at Neji. He just chuckled, and opened his notebook.
Lunch Time:
"That bitch......"
"Bitch means female dog... And that guy is obviously male.." Haku grinned.
"Shut up...." Tenten growled. Throughout the whole day, Neji had somehow ended up in all her classes, and sat next to her. And infuriatingly, he just smirked through the whole thing.
"Damn him and that sexy smirk of his..."
"Of who's?" Tenten and her friends turned around to see Sakura and a blond girl walking over.
"Who you talking about? Could it be.....? Mr. Icebox?" Sakura stared at Tenten, her perfectness unnerving.
"Cut it out you two... They have been taught to not talk to strangers." Sasuke smacked Sakura on the head, earning a killer glare.
"Fuck off Uchiha!" Sakura flipped him off, sticking her tongue out.
"Now now. That's not any way to talk to your beloved boyfriend is it?" Sasuke smirked, Sakura immediately quieting. "That's what I thought."
"Sakura-chan! Ino-chan!" Hinata came skipping down the hall, smiling, and dragging Naruto by the wrist.
"Woah! Slow down Hinata!" Naruto stopped as they reached the two girls. "Hey teme!"
"Hn...."
"LEARN SOME ADVANCED VOCABULARY!!"
"Calm down forehead..."
"What did you call me Ino-pig?" The two girls started snarling at each other, as Tenten and her friends watched, kind of freaked out.
"Oh! You must be Tenten! Nice to meet you!" Hinata smiled, and stretched her hand out. Tenten warily reached out, and shook hands. Hinata's hand was warm, completely different from her pale look. It looked like she had lived in the Arctic her whole life until now.
"N-Nice to meet you too." Tenten replied, noticing all the people stopping to look at the "perfect people".
"Guys! Come on!" The guy they had seen with the dog that night came running around the corner, towards them.
"Well! Gotta go!" Ino waved, and ran, dragging Sakura and Sasuke. Hinata giggled, and giving a wave of her own, walked away, chatting with Naruto.
"She seemed more shy in class." Satsuki pointed out.
"Probably isn't comfortable walking in front of a lot of people." Miyo chirped. The girls just nodded and continued onto the cafeteria. Tenten walked over to the lunch line, and sighed. There was absolutely no point in going to school. She picked up an apple and put it on her plate. Then, grabbed a slice of pizza, a bottle of water, and walked off towards 'their' table. She waved to Zabuza and the few other gang members sitting there.
"If it isn't Zabuza-sempai! You're lucky to be a senior..." Satsuki groaned, and set her lunch tray onto the table.
"Not really..." Zabuza snorted, picking at his food. Tenten laughed, and sat down, opening her bottle of water. She waved to the people who waved to her, acknowledging them.
"Tenten-san! When are we going on a raid?" One of them, Zaku, asked eagerly. Other people nodded eagerly.
"Girls?" Tenten smiled to her friends, watching as they all giggled.
"Tonight!" Miyo laughed, throwing her hands up, and earning aloud cheer from everyone sitting at that table.
"And what are you guys talking about?" Tenten turned around. She knew that voice. That husky, yet comforting voice...
"N-Neji! You s-shouldn't butt into other people's businesses!" Hinata scolded, taking hold of Neji's sleeve. "Off we go!" And Hinata skipped off towards an open table, the rest of the group following. It was really freaky how they were all so perfect. Like Greek statues come to life.
"So where are we raiding?" Kin, another member asked, leaning in.
"Hmmmmm.... How bout Hyuuga mansion? We can give the new people a welcome!" Satsuki giggled, earning approving cheers from their buddies. Unnoticed to them, the "new people" were giggling and laughing behind them, a mischievous shine in their eyes.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!~~~~~ What Will Happen? I Have No Idea :P Lol... Don't Expect Anything Good! Cause I Doubt It Will Turn Out Good :]
See Ya Next Time!
