Goodbye's Not Forever
Chapter 8: Let's Get This Party Started!
"MINE!" Called Katsu as he spiked the blue and yellow volleyball to the other side of the net.
"KYAA!" Cried Tenten as the ball bounced on her clasped hands. The yellow and blue ball flew to the other side and Akane spiked it.
"I GOT IT!" Informed Akako as she was about to spike the ball but then 2 large hands spiked the ball instead,"REN-KUN! I was gonna spike it!"
The said boy shrugged his shoulders and replied,"Didn't seem like it. The ball was too high."
Akako's eyes started to twitch.
"Are you trying to imply that I'm short?"
"Maybe," He muttered," You should be thankful I was willing to help you."
"Whatever."
"Lunch is ready!"Yelled Kanon.
Soon after the volleyball players made a mad dash to Kanon.
"What are we having for lunch?" Asked Katashi while taking a seat next to Akako.
"We are having barbecue pork, sashimi, noodles and we also have bubble tea in the cooler." Kanon replied while taking a bite from her barbecue.
Tenten looked around and saw a person missing," Where is Hayato-kun?"
"Oh, Nii-san went for a walk round the beach," Answered Ken," I'll go and get him."
"No, it's okay," Said Tenten," I'll do it, you carry on eating Ken."
The toddler shrugged and carried on gobbling up his lunch.
The brunette slipped her sandals on and walked to the direction Ken was pointing too. She saw him near the base of a cliff, his dark hair swishing with the wind, his eyes closed, hands in his pocket and was knee-high in water.
"Hey,"Softly greeted Tenten as she took her sandals off and walked to Hayato,"The lunch is ready."
The Hakase opened his eyes and stared the woman in front of him. Her brown hair was down, it was dead straight, he mused. She was wearing an oversized tshirt with black shorts underneath.
"I'll be there in a minute." He replied calmly
"I'll wait for you then."
"You sure?" He lifted an eyebrow up," Aren't you hungry yet?"
"Nope not at all." She replied with a smile adorning her face.
Suddenly her tummy started to grumble.
"Sure, Tenten, sure." He said sarcastically while grabbing hold of Tenten's hand and dragging her out of the water.
"Hey, I wasn't hungry a while ago, okay?" She mumbled.
"SUre, anything you say Ten," Was Hayato's sarcastic answer.
Tenten 'hmph'ed and carried on walking.
As they got closer to where all their friends were, the two teenagers smelt the aroma of the barbecue.
"Okay, I'm hungry alright." Tenten said as she made a dash for the barbecue.
The Hakase chuckled at Tenten's antics before he himself dashed to where Tenten ran to.
"This barbecue is delicious,"Praised Tenten as she bit off a bit of her barbecue,"It's so barbecue-y."
Laughs erupted from the gang's throats.
Tenten just shrugged and continued devouring her lunch.
~ Later that day ~
The group of friends were all gathered together in a circle around a campfire. Relieving memories, jokes, and crazy moments that happened in the past.
"Remember that time in the academy," Began Miyako as she wrapped her oversized t-shirt closer," When Katsu accidentally spilt that green goo over Kuro-sensei?"
"OOH! I remember that!." Giggled Akane," And then Hayato-kun got in trouble for bringing a chicken to the academy."
Everybody laughed except the two boys mentioned of course.
"I remember that time Tenten-chan and Akane-chan burnt Aime-sama's hair!" Said Akako while laughing.
"I remember that," Mumbled Tenten while blushing slightly," I remember when Miyako-chan and Katsu-kun got lost in the cave behind the healing waters waterfall."
"It took them forever to realise it was only a genjutsu and they were never in the cave in the first place." Offered Hayato, the gang roared in laughter.
"Hey! We were only like 5 years old at that time!." Defended Miyako with a blush on her face obviously embarrassed.
"You guys sure are crazy." Said Ren.
"Trust me," Grumbled Katsu," It gets crazier."
"Remember when Ren-nii-san mistook Ruko-san as a girl and he got a 3-hour lecture about being discreet and all."
"KATASHI!" Yelled Ren.
"What?" Asked the boy innocently. In return he got glares courtesy of his fuming brother.
"My, have I missed all these memories." Said Tenten.
Everyone mumbled a yes before quieting down.
"It's gonna be so quiet without you and Miyako-chan." Akane commented quietly.
The others agreed and soon enough the once happy atmosphere settled down.
"I'm going to head off to sleep now," Informed Miyako to everyone as she yawned and stood up,"Night e'vryone."
Murmurs of good night followed afterwards. Gradually, the gang lessened as more teens headed of to sleep.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet Ten?" Asked Hayato.
"Not yet, maybe later," She replied," I'm just gonna take a quick stroll, care to join me?"
"Sure."
As the two continued to walk, a soft breeze flew by them thus causing Tenten to wrap her thin T-shirt tighter around her petite body. Seeing the goosebumps arising from his comrade's skin, Hayato took of his sweater and placed it on Tenten.
The young brunette murmured a quick thanks and wrapped the sweater closer.
Silence.
Hayato broke the silence, "You ever planning to return to Konoha?"
"I don't know," She said honestly" Maybe every once in a while to visit the people round there." She shrugged her shoulders carelessly.
"I see. Don't you want too see them again?" He asks.
"To be honest, no." She answered," I'm not needed there."
Brown eyes met with charcoal black.
"Why say such a thing?"
"I'm just stating the obvious." The brunette looked up to the stars and closed her eyes," They don't want me there. They pretend to like me and all but behind all of those lies, they're saying 'Such a weakling.'"
Breathing in, the Hakase asked," How do you know?"
"Because I can see it in their eyes." As she answered, the twos eyes met once again.
