Lucky Star

Chapter 10- Fruit roll
Downhill did that rock go, or in this case Neji.
"I can't believe you're doing this," Hinata stared in amazement.
Neji turned from the mirror to glare at Hinata, "What are you implying?" Neji pointed to what he was wearing, "I'm still cool."
Hinata coughed.
Neji raised an eyebrow, "Did I sense a 'not' somewhere in that conspicuous cough?"
Hinata tilted her head innocently, "I honestly have no idea what you mean. What could you be insinuating, my dear loving cousin who normally doesn't dress like a freak with a banana high?"
"…do I really look like that?"
"I don't know," Hinata sarcastically said, "Let's ask that crazily laughing bird that died choking on a worm."
Silence passed through out the room, which for once was not at the Lucky Star but at the headquarters of all things evil and bastard…Neji's apartment. Neji looked down at what he was wearing, looked up at Hinata's 'If you go out in public like that I will swear to god that I don't know you' look, and the bird that lay dead outside his window. Neji turned to the bathroom, "I'm changing."
Hinata politely didn't mention an, "I told you so," while he left.
While he was in the bathroom, Hinata picked up the phone and waited for the person to pick up, "Hi, Ino? Yeah, it's gotten worse. Neji's cracked," she paused to hear Ino's response and then frowned at the phone, "What do you mean again? He's gone mentally insane one time, but that does not mean he has cracked before." Silence as she listened again she sighed, "I may be a disowned Hyuga, but I have to say that it's a little biased to say that all Hyugas are cracked."

Back to at the Lucky Star, home to the mentally twisted or depressed, things weren't any better. Before opening, Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, and Shikamaru gathered around a table and cookies.
"…so…" Hinata started filling in the large gap that the odd silence was creating, "To day's the Big Day, anyone actually create a plan?"
The silence afterwards gave her a clue, "Right, no one actually comes with anything around here." She gave them a scolding look. Each one of them hung their heads.
Naruto was having one of his good days, "Why don't you follow them?"
Staring at him, Sasuke smacked his forehead, "It's a sad day when Naruto actually comes up with a better idea than us," "or when a real idea is suggested," Hinata muttered, which Sasuke ignored.
Ino patted Naruto on the shoulder, "Great idea, but there's a flaw."
"What is it?"
Naruto, unfortunate to be siting between Sakura and Ino, faced a double lash, "WE'RE AT WORK!!" Naruto rubbed his ears in pain.
Hinata waved that aside, "We'll just close up for the day."
"Won't boss get mad?" Sakura asked.
"He's not in town," Hinata pointed out.
"Right, like he'll care at the end," Ino said, "He's more concerned about getting his daily dose of Ichi Ichi."
Shikamaru had to ask, "So, it's decided right?"
"Yup," Sakura decided, "We're going to follow them and make sure he doesn't confess before Neji does!"
Hinata looked skeptical, "That'll take a while."
"We'll make it happen!" Ino jumped up, determined, "We still have time to get there. Sasuke," Sasuke jolted from his innergleeness, "You're going to get us inside. Get to work."
Sasuke's brow raised and Ino rolled her eyes, "Please?"
He nodded and pulled out a cell phone.
"We'll take my car," Shikamaru said getting up. Everyone but Naruto and Hinata left in a flurry.
-
"So…" Naruto started, stealing a line from Hinata's book, "What do we do now?"
Hinata leaned back in her chair, "We wait for the desperate call to come in."
"…so we do absolutely nothing."
"Yup."
"Want to make a ramen cake and pretend it's a real one for the others to eat when they get back?"
"Sounds like a plan."
--author's note--
I'm adding a special feature to this story...
Character Corner!!
Today's Character of interview is Neji!
-clap clap clap--
Say hi Neji!
...hn...
Come on, don't be mad because I made a fool out of you this chapter...
Why wasn't I included in the plan to follow Tenten and that stupid Gaara!? I'm her one true love! Me! Not that stupid poser emo!
...Oh do I have plans for you, but first you have to answer some questions!
Here's from Wolfie559933
is there any day that you do not end up annoying Tenten and getting her to scream at you, and if so, what's the title?
There's never a day that I don't annoy Tenten, so there's no such title for an impossible day.
But what about last-
I always annoy Tenten. Last chapter was special. I think she was drunk.
On love?
No! On some stupid drug that Gaara sold her.
Wait, he sells drugs?
You're the author. Aren't you suppose to know these things?
Well, yes, technically, but there are somethings about you guys I really do not want to know.
True, I am that great. You probably couldn't comprehend me if you tried.
Right...not the brightest idea to insult the one who has control over you. Your losing your prodigy status by the chapter. Any last words.
...hn...
Such famous last words. Too bad they won't save you from my torture! -kicks Neji out the door-
So see you guys next week in Chapter 11 of 'Lucky Star' - Doughnuts!
Bye!
