Chapter Seven
We Meet Again
Since I am writing this chapter, like immediately after the last one, no one has reviewed yet, so there are no requests for singing or questions. And I'm happy that I get to finally update during the week! :D! Yay! Oh, and sorry if this doesn't really seem SasuSaku but trust me, it will. I try to get the other couples as involved as I can because, I hate leaving them behind! I'd like to dedicate this chapter to all of my reviewers!-Gets really dramatic- –Cries tears of joy- YOU LIKE ME! YOU REALLY LIKE ME! –Cries-
Disclaimer: I own the plot. I do not own Naruto…GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
-Recap-
TenTen opened her eyes that had been clamped shut. She rubbed her head and tried to focus her vision. When TenTen finally looked up, she saw someone that kept on going in and out of focus. After a few seconds, TenTen's vision was back to normal and she saw a boy crouching down next to her, looking at her intently. TenTen blushed at the attention that she was getting from this boy. No wait; scratch that, from this really cute boy.
TenTen looked at this boy more intently. He seemed really familiar.
Chocolate-brown eyes met pearl-white ones.
-End Recap-
-With Neji-
Neji had just entered into the front yard with his friends trailing behind. Sasuke kept on glaring at Neji's back, and he kept on turning his sharingan on and off as if he was debating on whether or not he wanted to kill Neji. Shikamaru was walking, with his eyelids half closed. No not half open, half closed!
Naruto immediately ran to the food table, shouting "YAY RAMEN!" like an idiot.
"Hn." Sasuke said before stalking off with his hands stuffed in his pockets. Neji was all alone in this big family reun-
BAM!
Neji felt pressure on his back, and then he felt it release. He turned around quickly to see a girl with buns in her hair, rubbing her head and muttering 'ow, wth was that?'
Neji rolled his eyes. If this was another one of his fan girls, he was going to straight-up kill himself! He knew that fan girls followed him around to a lot of places. But NOT to a family reunion!
Neji crouched down next to the girl, who was now squinting her eyes to focus her vision. She looked at him with narrowed eyes, and then they slowly went back to normal.
"Um…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you. I wasn't paying any attention" The girl muttered.
Neji knew right then and there that this girl wasn't a fan girl. A regular fan girl would be glomping all over him yelling "NEJI-KUN COME OVER HERE WITH YOUR ULTRA HOTNESS!"
"Who are you?" Neji asked. Fan girl or not, he still needed to know who she was. She seemed very familiar, like he had met her already. But…where?!
TenTen was a little taken aback by the question. 'He likes to get right to the point, I see…no problem, I can get myself up." TenTen thought sarcastically. She stood up, and dusted her pants off. Neji also stood up, not letting his gaze falter.
"You didn't answer my question." Neji said more sternly.
TenTen looked suspiciously at Neji. Why did this guy want to know who she was anyway?! Was he a stalker?! O.O
'I wonder if this family reunion really is only for family members. I don't think I'm supposed to be here. Maybe, that's why this guy keeps questioning me. I don't want to tell him who I really am, because I don't want to get kicked out or anything. Ah, what do I do!!' TenTen thought, inwardly freaking out. She had to think of a plan fast.
Bing!
An imaginary glowing light bulb appeared above TenTen's head, as an idea popped into her head. She smiled,
Fake, fake, fake
And held out her hand for Neji to shake. "I'm Hyuuga TenTen." She said waiting for Neji to shake her hand. He just kept his hands in his pockets and gave TenTen a questioning look.
'So she is a Hyuuga, huh? There's no way. Her eyes are brown, and everyone in the Hyuuga clan, everyone leaves their hair down in some way. She's lying…but I might as well give her a run for her money.'
"You're a Hyuuga, huh?" Neji asked.
TenTen sort of looked from side to side before looking straight. Her facial expression looked like this, but really big:
O.O
"Uh-huh" TenTen said not looking at Neji directly in the eye.
Neji smirked. This girl was a bad liar. "Well, since you are a Hyuuga…you wouldn't mind showing me your Byakugan, would you?"
TenTen started hyperventilating. How was she going to get herself out of this one?!
"Uh…uh…I can't because…I Have contacts in!" If I perform the Byakugan, my contacts will roll to the back of my head, and then I will have to go to the emergency room!" TenTen said finally thinking of a lie.
"Take them out."
"H-huh?"
"Take your contacts out"
TenTen sweat-dropped. This guy never gives up!
"I can't my hands are dirty." TenTen said with her eyes narrowed.
"Uh...Wash them?" Neji said while looking at her like she was an idiot…and in a way she was.
(TenTen: Hey!)
(Me: Woops...Would you look at the time! I gotta' go dog my walk!"
(TenTen: Dog your walk?? Wth?)
(Me… Muahahaha you'll never know!!...Anyways, back to the story!)
TenTen was getting angrier and angrier at this guy. Like, was this freakin' 20 questions or something?
"Look, pal, you are really getting on my nerves with all this question, crap! If I say I am TenTen Hyuuga, I am TenTen Hyuuga. If I say I I'm wearing contacts, I'm wearing contacts. And guess what? If I say that you're a long-haired wanna-be Barbie with a habit of annoying me…what do you think that means?"
"That you're an annoying little brat, with an ugly hair style, and dresses like a boy?" Neji asked while raising an eyebrow.
Bad choice of words Neji…very, very bad!
"UGH…THAT'S IT!" TenTen yelled at the top of her lungs. People turned towards where she was standing and she could feel their gaze upon her. TenTen could tell that half of them had turned their Byakugan on, and were ready to use it if she tried anything.
TenTen had first learned about the Byakugan while in her school. She believed that special people such as the Hyuuga's had special powers…but other powers like the 'Shadow Clone'…you kind of lost her on that one. Only a few people were truly that talented, but the only one she knew of was the Hyuuga clan. They were very strong ninja. (A/N Nobody knows about ANBU except for the people who are in it just to let you know. So that means none of the girls know about those 'special people!) TenTen decided to back off…at least for now.
TenTen drew her hand away from her kunai holder that was hanging off of the belt loop of her pants. She narrowed her eyes evilly at the smirking Neji. All of a sudden, he took a step towards her, causing TenTen to move a step back.
'What game is he trying to pull, now?' TenTen asked herself. He smirked when he saw the nervous look on her face.
'She's looks funny when she's nervous…oh I'm going to have a lot of fun with this' Neji thought evilly. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost didn't react when TenTen began running in the opposite direction screaming like a lunatic.
"AHH, SOMEONE HELP ME! HE'S TRYING TO RAPE ME, AHH!" TenTen cried as she began weaving in and out of the crowd. Everywhere, she went people gave her funny looks.
TenTen just stepped on those peoples' feet…
She'll never change.
In the distance, TenTen could hear Neji running after her shouting out things like, "I'm not trying to rape you! I just asked you a question!"
'Eeep! I can still hear him! Man, if this guy wasn't Hinata's family member, I would have decked him a long time ago! –Sigh- I knew this was going to be bad for business! Me and family reunions…just don't mix!' TenTen thought.
Skidding to a halt, TenTen saw a pink blob a little ways ahead. She smirked happily, and began running to her friend. (Who by the way still hasn't ended her speech about independency.)
"And then if someone tries to balk-talk you…you punch 'em in their throats, CHA! And then you pulv-"Sakura continued to ramble on. She didn't even notice that Hinata was leaning on a pillar, fast asleep.
TenTen came running up to the duo, panting, and coughing up a storm.
"Whoa, Tennie…what happened to you?!" Sakura asked looking at the coughing TenTen.
"N-need….(pant)…Water!" Was all she said before collapsing onto the floor.
Sakura shook her head at her friend. Even out side of school, TenTen runs like there's no tomorrow! Pity.
Out of no where, a blonde girl with blue eyes came prancing up to where her best friends were.
"Hey guys, wha- whoa! What happened to TenTen?" Ino said looking at her friend cross-eyed. You probably would to if you saw TenTen, lying on her stomach with her butt all in the air. Like…who wants to see that?!
Sakura was just about to explain, when she was cut-off by an ear-splitting scream.
Both Ino and Sakura whipped their heads in all directions, trying to find out where the source of the scream had come from.
"What was that?! It sounds like someone's been in pain." Ino said worriedly.
Sakura was about to just shrug off the shriek, when something had caught her eye.
Actually something that was missing caught her eye.
Well, not something…more like someone.
"W-where's Hinata?" Sakura asked a little bit nervously, looking at the spot where she had last seen Hinata.
Ino had to turn around to follow Sakura's gaze. It was, indeed, where Hinata had last been.
"I-I don't know…m-maybe she just went to the bathroom or something, ne?" Ino said, though she was half-convinced by her own words. Sakura just stared and shook her head.
'Hina's not the type of person to just go somewhere without telling anyone.' Sakura thought to herself.
'And let's not forget about TenTen. Do you think it's ordinary, for TenTen to just come running out of know where, and collapse? Sakura's inner countered.
'Um…maybe it's just a coincidence?'
'A coincidence?' Sakura's inner began. ', TenTen was practically screaming bloody murder! Okay, let's just piece together the facts. 1) We were here, talking to Hinata, when all of a sudden, TenTen comes out of no where looking like she had just seen Bloody Mary in the living flesh! Then she collapses. 2) About five minutes after this, we hear a load scream and then all of a sudden, Hinata's gone M.I.A. Calling that a coincidence is as false as calling your hair naturally pink!'
'My hair is naturally pink!'
'LIAR! Don't think I didn't see that bottle of pink hair-dye in your bathroom sink! Speak the truth!'
'You can't handle the truth!'
'And you can't handle my foot down your thro-'
Sakura was snapped back into reality when she heard, yet again, another scream.
Only this time, the scream was louder than before.
This time it was crying out for help
And this one definitely came from Hinata.
