I Miss The Me You Loved
Chapter 10: Just Starting
"Excuse me… is Tenten here?" a guy asked from the classroom door frame interrupting Kakashi's lesson.
"I-I'm here…" Tenten said raising her hand up in the air.
"Sir Hyuuga Hiashi is waiting for you outside in his car… he asked if he could have a short word with you?"
Tenten looked at him with a brow raised. What did she do? She never did anything that night of the party except to accidentally kiss his nephew. Plus she hadn't destroyed the reputation of the Hyuuga's cause of that. What was gonna happen now? Just then Neji stood up along as she did and got out of the classroom first after excusing himself from class as well.
"What's your uncle gonna do with me?" the usual wearing guy's stuff Tenten asked the bothered Neji who was already walking towards the school's outskirts.
"That's why I'm coming with you… I wanna know what he's planning" Neji sighed.
Tenten tripped a little cause of what Neji said but caught up with him after making sure no one saw that.
As they reached out of the gates a huge black shiny limo was parked in its entire splendor making some students peer out of the window to see who this celebrity stylist was.
Tenten stood out of one of the many windows that were there.
"He's usually behind the 4th window…" Neji muttered moving towards the said window. Tenten, again, followed and stood there until the window slowly crept down from its place.
"Neji… why are you here… I asked for Tenten… where is she by the way?" Hiashi asked peering out of the window.
"She's the girl beside me…" Neji crossed.
Hiashi looked at the unfamiliar Tenten fro top to bottom.
"You seem like you just had a sex change…"
Tenten gawked and had a dull expression of falling but regained once Hiashi cleared his voice.
"Anyways, I already asked your parents and they say it's okay… we need you to stay in the Hyuuga estate for about 1 month and take care of my wife's new born baby cause' we couldn't find a nanny to control it and you seemed like the type that night of the dance but… you need to do something with your real sex and be there every after school, you'll now be riding with Neji and every after school and sleep in the bedroom next to his after you got the baby to sleep okay?"
"Hinata never told us she-"
"Well now you know… it's a girl and the name is Kamari… don't make her cry when you start today…"
"But my clothes and-"
"We already transferred them to your room… thanks by the way and have a good day" Hiashi closed the window and the limo slowly went off leaving Neji dumbstruck and Tenten with her mouth open.
"I can't take care of a freaking baby! I can't even take care of myself properly!" Tenten shouted into the air.
"Obviously…" Neji sighed knowing that having another girl in the house would really be an annoying matter.
"Plus my parents selling me like I'm some old nanny… as long as the baby doesn't puke on me…" Tenten sighed and walked back into the school.
Uncle… what are you planning… Neji thought looking at the shiny black limo go around a corner and disappear.

"You're gonna do what?!" the girls shouted pounding their hands on the table and leaning close to Tenten who backed away scared of how they were craving for every detail.
"Sorry I forgot to tell you guys…" Hinata apologized remembering that she I fact hadn't told her about her new baby sister, Hyuuga Kamari.
"Well… I'm staying there for one whole month and I'm just gonna be taking care of the baby… although staying in a room next to Neji's makes me feel uneasy" Tenten shivered, her puffed up two balls of hair shaking along on her head. She sighed and looked out of the cafeteria window.
"But why-" Ino was cut off by the Sasuke-looking hottie from yesterday.
"Can I borrow Sakura for a while?" Sai asked smiling with a hand on his hip and the other on his 3 books.
"Sure why not" Ino smirked and pulled Sakura to her feet and pushed her to Sai. Sakura tripped and landed on his chest.
"S-sorry" Sakura muttered, bright pink in the face and looking back at Ino mouthing the words 'you're dead'. Ino simply giggled and the other girls teased and cooed on how cute they looked together.

"Anyways… I think my uncle is planning on something" Neji said walking with the usual 3 guys carrying his 4 books on his side looking straight forward.
"Man that's weird… having a girl in the house" Naruto shivered.
"Go on Sak… don't make us disturb you… and Sai! Get on with it! You look so cute together!" the girls squealed.
Sai chuckled and Sakura was still on his chest looking at the girls with an uneasy smile.
"Hey… isn't that Sakura?" Shikamaru asked pointing to the direction of the girl that was being teased by Ino, Tenten and Hinata.
"The question is who is that guy…" Naruto said with his hands on his hips.
"Looks like they have something goin on there…" Neji said looking from the staring Sasuke to the Sakura who was now getting of Sai's chest.
"Let's go…" Sasuke shook his head and tore his gaze off from the two cuddled up people a few meters in front of him. He turned around leaving the others looking at him with knowing looks on their faces. Naruto followed Sasuke but Shikamaru stayed with Neji who was still looking at the group of girls and apparently a little bit too much on Tenten.
"So… it really was serious… I mean, what happened between those two…" Shikamaru asked looking at Sakura who was walking away fro the other girls with Sai, laughing as she hugged her books tighter on her chest.
"Yuhp… even we don't know why they broke up… I guess some things are meant to be kept in…" Neji shrugged and was about to turn around until he froze from Shikamaru's following words.
"And it seems like something serious is gonna' happen between you two… Tenten I mean" Shikamaru said smirking as he moved on leaving Neji a few steps behind. Neji shook his head and walked on, snorting on Shikamaru's nonsense words.
"With her? Never in a million decades… anyways how about you? Seems like you and Ino like each other" Neji shot back.
Shikamaru simply shook his head lightly and walked on putting a hand in his pockets and his other on his side carrying the books that were with him. "I got my eyes on Temari…" he said pulling his hand from his pocket and putting it on Neji's shoulders while he pointed at the direction of a girl with four spiked pigtails wearing a purple long-sleeved top with a pink mini skirt. Neji shrugged and moved on as soon as Shikamaru made his point and put his hand back in his pocket.
Sakura leaned on a wall with Sai in front of him. She smiled and made a thinking look on her flawless face. Finally she opened her mouth and breathed "Okay… later at the library?"
"Sure…" Sai smiled and walked away. Sakura leaned back up and walked to her classroom since the bell had already rung like 30 seconds ago. Sai had asked her to help him in some school stuff since he needed to catch up on some things after enrolling late in the school and he couldn't think of anyone better than Sakura. Library, seems like a good place to study right? Or should she have invited him to her house? Nawww… to early for that.

"You sleep in you're uncle's house with Hinata?" Tenten asked feeling a little uncomfortable inside the noiseless limo she was in with Neji. He had wanted to go home early today since Anko had just given them a project and he wanted it to be done right away so that he wouldn't hassle on it when the deadline comes near. Tenten couldn't do anything about staying at school longer to be with the girls since her order was to go home with Neji every after dismissal when he already wanted to go home.
"Hn" Neji really didn't want a conversation whenever he went home from school. The day just tired him so much, walking around and listening to those lessons… who wouldn't be poofed out? He stared out of th window but noticed how Tenten squirmed uncomfortably in her seat.
"What do you want?" Neji asked with a high annoyed tone apparently bugged by Tenten's constant moving.
"N-Nothing…" Tenten answered, frozen tight in hearing Neji's booming question. She sighed as soon as Neji looked back out of the window and looked out of the window herself too. What did she get herself into? If only she wasn't his prom date that night and Hiashi hadn't come there and asked Neji's prom date to be his partner in a very huge party and if only her name wasn't announced into wide public being Mrs. Hyuuga Tenten… and if only they hadn't KISSED… then maybe none of what's happening now is actually happening at all. Thinking about all this stuff made her head hurt. She sighed once more.
A few minutes later and the car stopped in front of Hinata's house. A maid opened their door and Neji got out and threw his stuff into the maid's hands. Tenten took her sling bag and got out too.
"Your bag Ms…" the maid asked giving her an uncertain smile, probably thinking that she'd be as cold as Neji and literally throw her bag into her chest too. But Tenten smiled and shook her head. "It's okay… I can carry it. if you want you can give me Neji's bag too and I'll just put it in his room for him… guess little Mr. spoiled over there can't take his own bag in his room since he got so used to living the simple life"
The maid smiled and exhaled with gratitude when Tenten took the bag off her hands. "Thanks Ms…"
"What's your name?" Tenten asked walking with the maid towards the front lawn… which in its entire splendor looked like a rich man's park.
"Yuno" the maid answered opening the door for Tenten.
"Well then Yuno… it was nice meeting you" Tenten smiled at her for the last time and moved in to be greeted by another maid.
"I'll take you to your room Ms." The maid smiled after seeing the "she's a really good person" thumbs up from Yuno.
"What is it with this entire miss thing? Just call me Tenten" Tenten said following the maid into a 5 person elevator. The maid pushed a button and the door closed.
"Sorry Tenten-san" the maid said bowing to her.
"And no bowing… I am just a baby sitter and a normal person after all"
A proper conversation of two people meeting took place and the elevator stopped with ding as soon as it reached its destined floor.
"Bye Mica, thanks for all those tips" Tenten said waving at the maid who was inside the elevator ready to go back down. The maid had directly told her the directions of her room, which was really next to Neji's.
She moved along the well lit corridor and looked at all the obviously expensive painting that hung on its walls. She looked on the mahogany well polished doors. She looked at the candle lamps on the wall, shining bright with it's colorful glass set up. She looked below her… to the white carpeted floor with very unique patterns that made someone who looked at it, feel at peace. Boy she was in a second heaven. She found the door to her room and she took the antique looking key Mica had given her in the elevator from her pocket and she pushed it in it's keyhole. She turned it and the lock clicked. Turning the knob and pushing the door, she got inside that little pice of the real heaven she had in her mind. Her room was MAJESTIC!!

"I'm sorry I'm late… some girls were stalking me… and I had to get rid of them…" Sai said scratching her head.
"You'll get that a lot from now on since you look exactly like Sas…" Sakura stopped, saying Sasuke name brought a waterfall of happy memories she had with him at the place she had said his name. No… avoid that! "Never mind… c'mon let's get started…" she smiled and pulled Sai's hand leading him to a corner of the library where they could make louder noises then in the other corners of the library.
"History, history… this is such an easy subject" Sakura said pulling out her book.
"For you maybe…" Sai shot back pulling out his own book.
"Well if you really get your head into it then it would be easy" Sakura battled on, flipping her pages.
"If some people are distracted by beautiful girls who look for fights about a topic then how could the guy concentrate?" Sai said ending the fight… smiling on his victory. Sakura blushed. So Sai thought she was beautiful? Oh my God.
"So where do you wanna start?" Sakura asked. Looking at him made her feel like she was looking at Sasuke's face. God Dammit girl! Forget him and look at Sai for Sai! Not for Sasuke and what he's always torture reminding you of.
"Well Anko said that-"
"Isn't that Sasuke?" Naruto asked the Shikamaru who was concentrating on his book. Shikamaru sighed before getting his nose off the pages of the darned book and looked at the direction Naruto had his brows furrowed at.
"It is… what's Sasuke doing with Sakura?" he asked knowing that the two were practically avoiding each other. Seeing Sakura giggle at the table she was in made him confused.
"I'm not doing anything to her…" Sasuke said appearing behind Naruto carrying his books.
"Sasuke?... I thought that was you" Shikamaru said pointing at the table where Sai and Sakura were staying. Sasuke sat down before looking at the direction of the pointed finger. He stared at the two. Sakura giggling and Sai smiling. Something inside him felt like it was being crunched off by a hand. He didn't know where. He took a pencil from his bag and shook his head. "Let's get on with this study thing."
Naruto shrugged at Shikamaru who was looking back at him with a brow raised.
"You don't get this at all do you?" Sakura asked giggling.
"If you explain that fast how could I?" Sai smiled shaking his head.
"Okay okay… I'll take it slow… but listen will you? It seems like your dazed off on something" she shook her head and read something from her book ready to explain what she was reading to the really dazed off Sai.
Sai was looking at Sakura. He observed how she tucked her hair behind her ear… he observed how she bit her pencil when she couldn't understand a few words in her book and it made him chuckle which made Sakura look at him with a questioning look.

Tenten was breathing with a little bit of difficulty after childishly jumping up and down on her 100 percent pure feathered bed. She loved this room. Too bad it would only be hers for one month. But at least one month is long. She sat back up and looked at her room. From top to bottom. From left to rig- wait a second… there was another door a few inches away from her bathroom door. She moved for it and opened the door.
"Sorry!!" Tenten squealed. She locked the door and turned around leaning on it. Breathing fast once more. What the heck was Neji doing in there, standing with only a towel on. Man! He's probably think of her as perv now. How could she be so stupid? She knew that Neji's room was just next door to hers so there was a 99 percent possibility that this door lead to his room. Why'd she have to open it? God…
She jumped after hearing a knock on the door she was leaning on. She gulped and then turned to open the door.
"You could've knocked before entering…" Neji said with pale pink cheeks, now all dressed up in his usual home clothes, which were the first time for Tenten's eyes to see him in this.
Tenten smiled sheepishly and scratched her head. "Ehehehe, I never thought that our rooms would be intersected so it thought this door lead to a huge wardrobe or something…" she splurged. Neji was leaning on the door frame as Tenten was still dressed in her school attire, watching her feet move from underneath her petite body. "If you don't need anything else… I'd like to close this for now… I'm gonna hit the showers…" Tenten excused backing a few steps away. Neji shrugged and closed the door himself.
He walked in his room and looked out of the window. Of all the years he's lived here… he was POSITIVE that THAT door wasn't there before.
Hiashi… what you're planning's not gonna work… he thought as he sighed looking at the setting sun out of his window.
Tenten took off her clothes and turned the knob that poured out hot water. She put her clothes into the basket where the dirty clothes were supposed to go and she stepped inside huge shower compartment. Before the water hit her hair, she took off the pins that kept her buns held up high and as soon as she was done, she let the water flow down her head and she sighed in the delight of the freshness it brought.
As soon as she was done she tucked a towel that was short and white that if she bent or leaned in front, her bottom would already show. She took out the clothes she found in her closet earlier and laid them on her bed as she prepared her lotion and all other stuff after taking a bath.
"Tenten…" Neji knocked from the door that connected their rooms.
She knew that Neji was impatient so it was either she'd dress up rashly and risk her clothes getting torn or just open the door and hide her body behind it while she was still in this showy towel…
Think, think, think…
She moved for the door and hid behind it looking at the Neji who had his hair free from the usual non-tight ponytail he always wore. He looked so gorgeous.
Neji looked at Tenten who didn't look like the usual Tenten at all. He felt like he always wanted to see her like this. Wet and hair messy and dripping water. Her eyes bringing the watery effect it had when she was fresh from the shower and the smell of her watermelon scented soap made him feel drowsy but in a good way.
"Why are you hiding?" Neji asked shaking the desires out of his head.
"Well… it's along story… anyways what do you want?" she asked holding her towel in place incase it would drop from the force her fast beating heart was producing right now.
"I need to start on the project and I can't without my bag…"
"Oh yeah… wait a sec." Tenten totally forgot about the bag and was more into it right now that when she moved back the door opened wider for Neji to look at her walk towards her bed with that small towel that covered her body. Her long flawless legs making him stiff and just stare at them. Shit, this wasn't right. he tapped his forehead and looked into his room as he crossed his arms trying not to look. Tenten returned with his bag and once again hid herself behind the door.
"Anything else?"
He shook his head and muttered a thank you before closing it.

"Okay… now you get it? Finally!" Sakura exhaled after seeing Sai nod.
"Although… this one is a little bit tweaked in my mind." Sai teased.
"Oh c'mon! we've gone over that like a million times!" Sakura said as she joke punched him.
"Joking…" Sai chuckled closing his book. For a while they looked at each other until Sai leaned closer to her face. Sakura turned bright pink.
"Oi Sasuke!" Shikamaru said looking at Sasuke's pencil which was perfectly just snapped in two.
"Huh?" he asked as he took his look off from Sai and Sakura.
"Are you okay?" Shikamaru asked looking at him and then to Naruto.
"Oh yeah, yeah… I was just a little bit confused and got angry with something I didn't understand here." He lied with a small agreeing smile as he looked back at his book. The two beside him shrugged and put their noses back into their books again. As soon as Sasuke saw the \two concentrating on their books, he glanced once more to Sakura and Sai.
"You wanna catch coffee this Saturday?" Sai asked stopping a few inches in front of Sakura's face.
Sakura exhaled. She thought he was going to kiss her. But nonetheless she was happy of this coffee ask-out. Payback for Sasuke or does she really feel something for Sai? Cause she was going to say yes.
"Sure…" Sakura said smiling wider than she usually did these past few days.
"I'll pick you up at 11?" Sai asked putting his books in his bag.
"Do you even know where I live?" Sakura asked doing the same, packing her books in her bag as well.
"I'd love to find out if I walk you home today…" Sai smirked looking back at Sakura.
"Good pick up line…" Sakura giggled as she put her bag on top of her lap. "Are you sure it won't be a bother?"
"Nope…"
"You know what guys… I gotta go… I got to… got to go and… I gotta pick up some stuff in the bathroom so… I'll see you tomorrow." Sasuke stood up without making the two guys reply. Naruto looked at Shikamaru who only shrugged and looked at Sasuke walk away, fast.
"Bathroom?" Naruto asked with a brow raised completely and dumbly concentrated on the thing that could be picked up in a BATHROOM.
