Chapter 10- Hey Tenten! Nice to See You Again!
Hello minna-san! According to the reviews I've received so far, most people would like Sango to appear, so I now present to you...CHAPTER 10 WITH TENTEN IN IT! Woot. Enjoy. Also, I'm very honoured that you guys like this story, and especially to those who actually care enough to leave a review. (Bows to reviewers)
Kunai Tenten: Tenten in this fic will be playing Sango the demon slayer. She too is a demon slayer, except she has a wider range of weapons to use. Instead of Hiraikotsu, Tenten will be carrying a big windmill shuriken that's made of violet metal. As well, she carries mini scrolls that can be used to summon other weapons, such as bow+arrows, kunais, iron maces, axes and other sharp pointy objects.
Tenten is 18 and she's about 5"8. Her hair is still tied into those cute buns. When she's not fighting, her outfit is the same as the one she wore when she was a genin. Her battle outfit is the same as the one Sango wears.
Kokoro: She is my OC, and is replacing Kirara. She's a demon cat that's invulnerable to fire and explosions. Her fur is pure red, and her eyes are a sapphire blue. Her weakness is water, and resistant to ice. In demon years, she's about 185. She can transform just like Kirara. In her small form, she's the size of your average tabby, and when she's in her big form, she's the size of a full grown tiger. (Bunny: Which is QUITE big btw.)

Flashback
Inner Self
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH
Recap: "ENOUGH! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! Hmph! I'm not going ANYWHERE! I'm incharge now, and none of you can do anything about it!" Sakura threatened menacingly while her chakra is clearly visible, enaminating off of her holy being.
Naruto's legs trembled and cowered behind Neji. He was kinda afraid Sakura's brute strength. It's quite painful if you're on the receiving end of her attacks.
Sasuke just nodded himself silly, not wanting his lifespan to be cut short a couple hundred years.
Neji nodded his head vigorously. He still has to create some children ya know!
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH
"Now all of you listen clearly! I think we should all work together!" Sakura stated cheerfully as she happily pranced around the dumbstruck monk and half-demon.
"Me work with him!?!? NO WAY!" both Sasuke and Neji yelled at the same time. Sakura gave them a glare that could even freeze the sun.
"Of course we'll work together!" they both quickly said and quickly shook their hands, but let go just as quickly. Sakura grinned.
"That's great to hear boys!" she exclaimed happily.
'Shannaro! As if they can say no!!' Inner Sakura exclaimed as well while punching the air in front of her.
"Well guys, we better hurry up and find the next jewel shard, cause I gotta go home and study for some major exam!" Sakura said cheerily before turning around and walked down the path.
(sigh) "Uchiha. Let's go." Neji said before trudging after Sakura. Oh ya, Naruto had already caught up with Sakura and the two are currently walking side-by-side.
Sasuke glared at Naruto, wishing he would just set fire.
FWWOOOOOOOOM
"ITTAAAII!!! My pants caught fire!!!!" Naruto screamed as he ran around in circles trying to blow the fire out all the while Sasuke just smirked.
'Serves him right to be walking beside our Sakura-chan!' Inner Sasuke raged while glaring harder at the already suffering Naruto. Sakura sighed and splashed Naruto with the water in her water bottle.
PPSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTT
"Ahhh. That's better. Arigato Sakura-chan!" Naruto cried gleefully and latched onto Sakura. Sakura was a bit shocked at first from the sudden contact, but soon pushed him off.
"Sakura, why do we have to travel with that pervert anyway?" Sasuke asked as he walked beside Sakura. Sakura blinked a couple times before finally coming up with an answer.
"I didn't know who to choose to travel with, so I decided we all travel together." Sakura said casually, avoiding Sasuke's glare.
"I'll get you for this." he muttered under his breath. Thankfully, Sakura didn't catch it. So, Sasuke decided to walk ahead of the group, since the rest of the group was walking at a slower pace than he liked.
WOOOOO WOOOOO WOOOO WOOOO
THOCK
"UGH!!" Sasuke screamed as a rather large shuriken pinned Sasuke to the ground. Though, no damage was caused.
"HHIIIYYAAA!!!" a voice screamed before a girl came into view and landed on top of Sasuke's back, so she was standing on his back.
"AAHHH!! My back! My back!! Get off you bitch!!!" Sasuke yelled as he tried to free himself from being pinned to the ground by a LARGE shuriken...that appears to be purple in colour.
--
Back with Sakura and group, they all heard Sasuke's scream of agony. At least...that's what they thought they heard.
"Oh my god! Sasuke's probably in trouble!" Sakura said worriedly and was about to run to Sasuke's aid when...Neji grabbed her arm and held her back.
"He's probably alright. Maybe he just stepped on some dog crap or something." he said as he pulled Sakura closer to his side.
"Plus...we could spend some more quality time together." Neji said seductively, raising a suggestive brow. Sakura blushed, while Naruto frowned. No I mean, BIG frown.
"AHEM! I'm still here you know! AND! (grabs Sakura back) She's not doing ANYTHING with you, you creep!" Naruto shouted in Neji's face as he held Sakura far AWAY from Neji. Neji just huffed.
"You know squirt, for a demon you're quite small." Neji taunted. A vein appeared on Naruto's head.
"SAY THAT AGAIN YOU STUPID PERVERT!!" Naruto yelled in fury. Sakura sighed...this was gonna be one loooonnnng journey. She just knew it.
--
"SSAAKKKUURRAAA!!! GET YOUR ASS HERE AND REASON WITH THIS INSANE BITTTTCHHHH!!!!" Sasuke screamed in anger as he avoided another stab, which was aimed at his stomach.
"I.am.not.A BITCH! I'M A DEMON HUNTER!" the brown haired girl raged as she swung her katana again at Sasuke's head, missing by an inch.
'Damn she's fast.' Sasuke cursed as he jumped back another couple meters. A while ago, he managed to push the giant shuriken off of him. Soon enough, his 'friends' leisurely arrived to where they were.
"FINALLY YOU DECIDED TO SHOW UP!" Sasuke yelled in anger.
"Gomeennn Sasuke-kun!!" Sakura apologized as she quickly gathered up some chakra and punched the ground. The ground shook, which forced the demon hunter to jump away.
Neji stared at the girl. Why does she look so...familiar? He knows that girl, plus her chakra pattern was really familiar too.
LIGHT BULB!
"TENTEN!" he called out to her. The said girl immediately looked over at the person who said her name.
"Hyuuga? Neji?!" she said shocked, she almost dropped her giant shuriken.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?" they both asked each other at the same time. They quickly regained they compositions and slowly walked towards each other. Sasuke was too tired to even walk over, so he just plopped down onto the ground and rested. Sakura and Naruto also walked towards Tenten, seeing as she means no harm anymore.
"Hey Ten. Long time no see." Neji said while giving Tenten a friendly smile, and Tenten returned it.
"Yeah, and the same to you Neji." she replied while. Neji lunged at her for a hug, but Tenten dodged the lunge gracefully, which made Neji land on the ground.
Thump.
(sigh) "Still the same old Neji I see." she said while smirking at Neji, who got up from the ground and brushed off the dirt.
"Hn." he replied with his eyes closed, feeling a bit ticked off.
During the whole thing, Sasuke had managed to fall into a little daze, while Sakura and Naruto watched in total confusion. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!? Well, here's the whole deal.
"Neji, how do you guys know each other?" Naruto asked finally, after a period of total silence.
(chuckle) "This is a rather long story. You see..." Neji began.
Flashback
Now, you see a 15 year old Neji wandering around a village, admiring the many 'views' he was getting, thought no one seemed to notice. This was a village made of warriors that hunt demons for the good of this village, and others. With the demon bones, they make very fine weaponry out of them.
Neji was interested, they were also known for their ever-so-rare violet metal mine, which makes exceptionally strong weapons, and beautiful chains for necklaces, bracelets and other stuff.
As he was walking around the village, he noticed that not many men were in the village, mostly women.
'So most of the men are warriors.' Neji concluded as he continued to wander and looked at the unique weaponry, and other things. That was when something or rather someONE caught his attention.
He had now reached the edge of the village, and a training field came into view. There, was a girl and most likely her pet demon cat training. The girl had incredible accuracy, and is very agile. All the targets were hit bulls-eye.The cat was very err...agressive, and speedy as well, seeing as it demolished 4 log posts already.
He approached the two and when the girl and the cat noticed, the cat immediately pounced on Neji.
'Man, this thing has bad breath.' was the first thing Neji thought when he hit the ground with the medium sized cat demon on him.
"Kokoro! Get off him!" he heard the female call to the demon. When it got off, the girl immediately apologized.
"I'm so sorry about that. Kokoro, is rather protecttive of me." the girl said before bowing.
"Don't worry about it. What is your name pretty maiden?" Neji asked smoothly, his pearly gaze on the brunette. The girl blushed a bit under Neji's 'intense' gaze.
"Kunai Tenten. And yourself?" Tenten replied back politely.
"That's a lovely name. And it's Hyuuga Neji." Neji replied back as he took Tenten's hand and kissed it. (Bunny: Smooth Neji, smoothe.Lol.) Tenten blushed furiously, but then quickly took her hand back.
"By the way Hyuuga-san, what brought you here?" Tenten asked, wondering why this charming guy was here in the first place.
"Aa. Your entrancing beauty has brought me to you." Neji started off, while Tenten just gave him a disbelieving look, but all the while blushing even more. Apparently, Kokoro thought Neji was boring and decided to run off somewhere.
"And, please call me Neji-kun, Tenten-chan." he said said somewhat romantically as he grabbed both of Tenten's hands.
"H-Hai." Tenten managed to reply, while blushing deeper by the second.
'Okay...I don't even know the guy, and he's already hitting on me!' Tenten thought a little bewildered at how bold Neji was...kinda.
"Would you do the honour of bearing my child?" he asked now, this time more seductively. At this, all the adoration for Neji that Tenten was developing shattered. That was a COMPLETE turn off.
"WHAT?!!? Are you out of your MIND!?!" she shouted at the monk as she broke away from him in anger and summoned some kunai from one of her scrolls.
"You stupid monk! I'm only 15!!" Tenten shouted angrily and flung the kunai all at Neji, who quickly blocked them all with his kaiten.
"I won't give up on you!" was Neji's last remark before he disappeared in a poof.
Tenten growled in irritation. "Stupid monk." she muttered before collecting her kunai, and reusing them for training.
That, was how they met. From then on, Neji would meet Tenten everyday at her training spot and ask her the same question. Slowly, the two became good friends, and even trained together sometimes.
Until, that is, when Tenten was officially dubbed a demon hunter.
"Neji-kun. I'm officially a demon hunter now, so I won't be in the village often." Tenten explained to Neji as the two sat in under a nice willow.
"Aa. I heard the official annoucement too." he said, not looking at her, but at the space in front of him. Tenten turned and gave him a small smile.
"You know, I'm gonna miss you." she said after a while. Neji looked at her and gave her a small smile too.
"I will miss you too. But, I too, should get on my way. I've spent too much time here and I must get on with my quest." he said as moved closer to Tenten.
"I guess this is farewell." Tenten said sadly.
"Aa." Neji said quietly and leaned forward for a hug, which Tenten surpisingly returned. They stayed like that...for 10 seconds.
"YOU PERVERT! UGH!" Tenten screamed in fury as a huge slap noise could be heard. Apparently, Neji's hands has been wandering again. (sigh) Must he screw up their lovely bonding time?
"Hmph! I take it back! I WON'T miss you!" Tenten huffed as she stalked away, with her ever so loyal cat demon trotting behind her, all the while leaving poor Neji on the ground.
"I feel your love Tenten!" Neji called from the ground, and only receiced a shuriken in reply, which was an inch away from his head.
'Heh. I guess she decided to leave me a little gift.' Neji thought as he got up and pocketed the violet shuriken.
End Flashback
"You have a suprisingly good memory." Tenten said unamused, as she raised an eyebrow at Neji. Neji looked proud.
"Of course! How could I forget how I met my future children's mother?" Neji joked, and he only received a punch upside the head. Tenten had an anime vein pop.
"CHILDREN?!!?" she screamed at him as she turned away in a huff, and Kokoro only shook her head disapprovingly.
"Well...that surely was interesting." Sakura said, trying to create some conversation between the lightly sleeping Sasuke, silent Neji, fuming Tenten, and sniggering Naruto.
(cough) "Ne, Neji. How many women have you asked that question to?" Naruto asked out of curiosity. Neji lifted his hand and put it under his chin and looked to be deep in thought. After a couple seconds, he finally replied.
"I lost count."
Both Sakura and Tenten had veins pop on their heads, while Naruto burst out laughing.
"You player!" Sakura shouted at him and got ready to punch every bit of him.
"You good for nothing piece of cow shit!!" Tenten shouted angrily before she grabbed her big shuriken and charged towards the monk as well. Neji's eyes widened in fear before he dashed for his life. No, Neji does not fight women. It always end up to be a losing battle. On his end anyway.
"KKYYYYAAAA!" both Tenten and Sakura shouted as they attacked poor Neji.
"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Neji screamed. He screamed so loud, even Tsunade heard it back in Konoha. So now, Neji sported two big whack-a-bumps on his head, one black eye, a bruised cheek, some cracked ribs maybe, and a temporarily out of commission hand. Well, I guess no more wandering 'hand' for the ladies, hehe. (Bunny: That's what you get for having wandering hands Neji-kun!)
--
So after that big commotion, the gang finally started moving, since Sasuke was complaining about too many bug bites, and how sleeping on the grass was uncomfy. He prefered a tree. (Bunny: Personally, I prefer the ground. I would more than likely fall off the tree and die.)
As a bonus, Tenten decided to travel with the group too. Partly because she had a jewel shard of her own during her travels, and for a personal reason as well. Well like they all say, the more the merrier! Well, especially for Neji.
"Uchiha, if you keep glaring like that, your eyes are gonna stay that way." Neji told Sasuke as he gave Sasuke a blank look, while Sasuke stopped glaring. For now. Sasuke really hasn't forgiven Neji yet for touching Sakura. You know, a hanyou can really hold a grudge if he wants to.
And somewhere in the trees, a flying monkey threw a banana at Neji's head.
"Itai!"
Sasuke just smirked. Apparently FLYING monkey's were on his side today. What else would it chuck at Neji? A pepper? No wait...rotting fish. (Evil smirk)
"Sasuke-teme...stop looking like that. You're creeping me out." Naruto said with a slightly frightened look on his face. Sasuke turned to Naruto and snarled at him, who just picked up his pace. Away, from the creepy half-wolf demon.
T I M E J U S T F L I E S B Y C A U S E T H E A U T H O R E S S S A Y S S O...
"CAN WE PPPLLLEEEAAASEEE stop now?!? I'm so tireeedddd." Naruto complained as he dropped dead onto the ground.
(sigh) "Fine." Sasuke grumbled as he let Sakura down. Sakura had started tiring out ages ago, so Sasuke offered to carry her, since Neji had a broken hand. Kokoro went hunting so Tenten had to walk as well and then there was Naruto who just dropped dead.
"YYAAAYYYYY!!!!!!" Naruto exclaimed relieved ans right after that, he fell asleep. Sakura just giggled, Sasuke just mumbled something about dobes, and Tenten smiled lightly at the sight, while Neji just looked bored.
"Ah. Sakura-chan, would you be so kind as to give me a massage? My shoulders are really aching." Neji asked with a somewhat perverted smirk on his face. Sasuke was about to refuse for Sakura before Sakura replied.
"Ok!" she chirped and skipped to Neji's side. Sasuke looks like he was about to explode, while Tenten just watched, wondering if Sakura was going to fall for that stupid perverted prank.
Sakura cracked her knuckles quietly and got behind Neji.
"Ready Neji-kun?" she asked sweetly. Neji just nodded in a daze, noticing that she called him Neji-kun. But, opposite of Sakura's sweet voice, her massage was NOT gentle at ALL. It was rather...painful, instead of soothing.
CRACCCKKK THUMP EEEAAAARRRRRKKKK
"Ahhhhhh!!! S-Sakura-chan!!! I-I-I'm all g-g-ood now!! Y-You can stop!!" Neji cried out as he quickly shifted away from Sakura and massaged his shoulders himself with his single hand. They ached even worse than before he had asked her for a massage.
"Ok! Anytime!" Sakura replied before grinning evilly. Neji got the chills just by looking at that grin.
'Ok. She's definitely off limits.' he thought to himself as he massaged his shoulder. Sakura walked back over to where Tenten and Sasuke are, chatting about different weapons and Tenten's village.
"Wow, that was fast. What did you do?" Tenten asked in surprise as Sakura took a seat beside her. Sakura made a peace sign with her right hand.
"I needed someone to be my guinea pig." she said mischieviously as she cracked her knuckles again, just to emphasize her point. Tenten laughed, while Sasuke inched a bit back in fear. Sakura's brute strength wasn't something he would like to experience first hand. Thank god he's been on her good side so far.
Sasuke's left ear twitched a bit. He looked up into the sky on the left to find Kokoro flying back with a dead fawn in it's mouth. Tenten got up to help Kokoro, while Sakura just stared at Sasuke. He's been awful obedient for the day. She's starting to wonder if this WAS the Sasuke she knew.
"It's rude to stare." Sasuke said, interupting her thoughts. Sakura blushed and looked away.
(nervous laughter) "Hehehe, gomen." Sakura apologized and gave Sasuke a sheepish look.
"You're wondering why I've been behaving myself lately aren't you?" he asked without even sparing her a glance, and just kept staring at the fire he just started. Sakura's eyes widened and wondered if he had been reading her mind.
"And no, I can't read minds. You're just really easy to predict. That's all." Sasuke explained as he sharped a kunai and got to help Tenten make dinner. Sakura got up as well, since she needed to set up camp, and take a well needed bath. She feels filthy, and she'll need to do some laundry.
"I'm going to take a bath by that lake ok?!" she told her friends, and they all responded some how.
"Hn." (Bunny: You know who that is!)
"Ok! Be back for supper!" Tenten called.
"Alright Sakura-chan! Would you like me to guard you?" Neji asked suggestively while smiling.
"NO SHE WON'T NEED A GUARD!!!" Tenten and Sasuke shouted in anger.
THOCK
"ITAI!" Neji cried in pain and held his forehead. Tenten had thrown an onion at his forehead. HARD. It's gonna leave one hell of a pretty bruise.
"z...zz...zzzz..." was Naruto's answer. Sakura just laughed a bit at her friend's antics, before she headed to the lake. Though, unknown to her there's somebody ELSE that's been watching her go. (sigh) A lot of people are doing that aren't they?
"Ka ka ka ka ka. They look awfully alike..." an old cackly voice spoke before they disappeared back into the shadows.
To be continued...
Bunny: Oh me oh my! I wonder what else is gonna happen next! Hehehe, well you're gonna have to stay tuned for it I guess! I'm actually not that fast of a typer, and I usually just let my imagination take me places. So basically I'm open to any suggestions. They help a lot, since sometimes my brain fails to focus.
Also, I have any vote-y thingy for you guys.
A) Would you like Sakuya to appear in a comedic fashion
or
B) In a very Inuyasha-ish fashion
OR
C) In some other funky way that you think would work out nicely. Though you would have to explain a bit so I would know how you'd like it done.
