Chapter Nine
After pulling away from the curb, Neji asked TenTen what she wanted to do. "It doesn't really matter to me" she said. "We have all day together, so whatever you decide, Neji.". Neji thought for a bit, before asking. "How about you show me the place you work at?" "That way if I ever need to see you for something, I know where I can find you". TenTen was a little surprised by this, but she hide it from him, and replied with. "It's in the next town over, and I don't really won't to go that far today". "So can we just spend the day here in the city? I'll do anything you want". Neji could tell that she was avoiding the issue of her job, for some reason that he didn't understand. Not wanting to push her, he let the issue drop for now. "Hmm, you'll do anything I want, right?" he asked. "Hai" said TenTen. "No matter what it is, and as long as it is with you Neji, I will do it". "Ok then" said Neji, heading towards the city.
After a hour of driving, Neji pulled into the parking lot of a rather large building. As he found a place to park, TenTen looked at the sign above the entrance. "Konoha Ice Skating Rink" she read aloud. "Why are we here, Neji?". Parking the car, Neji killed the engine, and turned to look at her. "You said you would do anything I wanted" he said. "Well we are going to go skating", turns away from her, and opens his door, climbing out. TenTen doing the same, soon joined him at the back of the car. "Neji, I don't know how to skate" she said. "It's easy, TenTen" he said, taking her hand, and heading towards the entrance.
Entering the building, they saw that there was quite a few people already here. Still holding TenTen's hand, Neji headed over to the counter, where a man with brown hair, was looking rather bored. "Excuse me" said Neji. "We would like to rent some skates". "What is your shoe size?" asked the man. "I wear a size ten" said Neji. "What size do you wear, TenTen?". "Size seven" she said. The man then looked behind himself for a moment. "Will that be single or double blade?" he asked, turning back to face Neji. "Single blade for me" said Neji. "And a double blade for her". Turning back around, the man grabbed two pairs of skates, and set them on the counter. "The skate rental is five dollars, and the price to skate as long as you want, is ten dollars each" said the man. Neji took out his wallet, and opening it, took out a twenty and a five. Giving it to the man, he returned his wallet to his pocket, and taking the skates in his free hand, lead TenTen over to a nearby bench, where he sat down.
Setting the skates down on the floor, Neji released TenTen's hand, and began to remove his shoes. Removing his shoes, he started on the skates, but noticed that TenTen was still standing. "Come on, TenTen" he said, patting the spot beside him. "I promise I will help you, and not let you fall". With his reassurance, TenTen took a seat beside him, and started to remove her shoes. Neji having gotten his skates on by the time she had removed her shoes, stood up on the ice, and began to skate around, while he waited. TenTen was in the process of putting her first skate on, when she caught sight of Neji, skating around, with no problem at all. As she watched him, he made a rotating movement, and spun in place for a few minutes, before stopping and looking in her direction, and cracking a smile at her.
Skating over to her, he said. "Told you it was easy" "Now come on, let's have some fun". Going back to her skates, TenTen soon had them on. As she stood up, Neji held out his hand to her. "I'll go slow" he said. Taking his hand, TenTen stepped out onto the ice. Soon as she did so, her legs started to split, and she grabbed onto Neji by wrapping her arms around his neck. "I can't do this" she said, looking down at the ice. "Yes you can, TenTen" he said. "It is almost like dancing. And I know, you can do that". Stepping back from her, he took both of her hands in his, and began to pull her along, as he skated backwards, around the rink. As Neji showed TenTen how to skate, the time dwindled away.
Katashi's Party
Having gone back into the house after TenTen had left, Katashi sat on the couch on watched the clock. At twenty minutes to nine, there was a knock on the door. Getting to his feet, Katashi made his way out into the hallway. Reaching the door, he pulled it open to find Genma standing there. "Hello Katashi" said Genma. Katashi mearly nodded his head, and stepped aside, so Genma could enter. Coming inside Genma removed his boots, and looked around. "Looks like i'm the first one here" he said. "The others should be arriving soon" said Katashi, closing the door. "After all I told them the same time, I told you". "Who else is coming?" asked Genma. Before Katashi could answer him, there was another knock on the door. Opening it again, Katashi found two people standing there. "Hey Katashi" said one of the men. "When does the party start?". "We have one more person to wait for, Mizuki" said Katashi. "Well he better hurry up" said Mizuki. "I want to get drunk, and the sooner I start, the sooner I can". Katashi then looked at the second person. "I don't know you" he said. "Oh" said Mizuki. "I hope you don't mind Katashi, but I invited him. This is Gato". "Nice to meet you sir" said Gato, holding out his hand. Katashi took Gato's hand, and gave it a firm shake.
He then turned to Mizuki, and gave a look that clearly said he wasn't happy about this. "Relax man" said Mizuki. "He's cool". "We need to talk in private, Mizuki" said Katashi. "Genma answer the door, if anyone knocks". "Sure thing" said Genma, as Katashi and Mizuki headed off into another room. Once they had entered the room, and Katashi had closed the door, Mizuki asked. "So what's up?". I did tell you we was watching a private video, didn't I?" asked Katashi. "Yeah you did" said Mizuki. "However, you didn't go into details, on what it was about". Leaning forward Katashi whispered into Mizuki's ear, then lent back. Mizuki gave him a very creepy smile, before saying. "You don't have to worry about Gato telling anyone" "He is a bigger pedo then myself, and that is saying something. I have heard that he recently acquired a cute little maiden named Haku, and plans to put her up for auction, as soon as he is done with her". "Alright" said Katashi. "But if anything happens because of him being here, I will hold you personally responsible, understand?". Mizuki just nodded. At that time, someone knocked in the door. Opening it, Katashi found Genma there. "Katashi, your last guest has arrived" said Genma.
Walking past Genma, Katashi left the room, and headed back towards the front of the house. Mizuki and Genma soon headed that way as well. As they entered the living room, they found Katashi shaking hands with a man with black hair, and pale skin. "I hope this movie of yours is worth my time, old friend" said the man. "I assure you Orochimaru-sama, this movie will be to your liking" said Katashi. "Before we get to the movie however, how about we go into the kitchen for snacks and drinks?". No one disagreed with him, and Katashi lead them all into the kitchen, where he had various snacks and bottles of beer set out on the table. "Help yourselves to whatever you like" said Katashi. As his guest moved around the kitchen getting what they wanted, Katashi grabbed one of the bottles of beer, opened it, and began to drink.
Neji and TenTen
TenTen having finally convinced Neji that she couldn't ice skate, sat down on the bench from before, and watched him as he made a few laps around the rink. After sometime spent doing that, Neji came over to her. He started to say something, but TenTen spoke first. "I'm really sorry, that this isn't what you had in mind, Neji" she said. "Don't worry about it, TenTen" he said. "I am still spending time with you, even though it isn't much fun out here alone". TenTen looked down at her feet, and again said she was sorry. Neji sat down beside her, and placing a hand under her chin, raised her head so she was looking at him. "You don't have to apologize to me, TenTen" he said. "I know, but I feel so ba..."she started, but was stopped. Reason she was stopped, was because Neji had leaned forwards and captured her lips in a kiss.
Leaning back a few moments later, Neji saw that her eyes were wide, and a blush was on her checks. "I'm sorry TenTen" he said. "I got caught up in the moment. I never shou...". TenTen catches his head in her hands, and places a kiss of her own on his lips, silencing him mid sentence. Leaning back a few moments later, she said. "Now we're even". After a few minutes of getting his barrens, Neji asked if she wanted to go somewhere else. "How about if we have a early lunch?" she asked. "Ok" said Neji, starting to remove his skates. Ten minutes later, Neji had returned the skates to the man at the counter, and he and TenTen made their way out of the skating rink and to his car. Neji coming around to her side of the car, opened the door for her. "Thanks Neji" she said, as she climbed in. Once she was inside, Neji closed her door, and came around to his side, opened the door, and got in.
Taking out his key, he put it in the ignition, and started the car. As he pulled out of the parking spot, he asked. "Any certain place you want to go, TenTen?". "I don't know really" she said. "I'll let you decide again". "Ok" said Neji. "There's a place a little further out of the city. If you don't mind going that far, we can go there". "I don't know of any restaurant outside of the city" she said. "My uncle told me about it yesterday, when he got home" he said. "What is it called?" she asked. "He didn't tell me the name, or much about it" said Neji. "All he said was that the food, service and entertainment was very good". I guess we can check it out" she said. "Ok" he said, pulling onto the highway, and heading east, and further out of the city.
Katashi's Party
After some hours had passed, some of his guests were getting irritable. "When are you going to show us this movie, old friend?" asked Orochimaru. "If everyone is done with the snacks, I can show you now" said Katashi. As Orochimaru, Mizuki and Gato headed into the living room, Katashi looked over at Genma, who was seated in a chair at the table, his arms were crossed on the table, and he had his head down on top of them. Katashi went over to him, and placing a hand on Genma's shoulder, shook him. "Genma, it's time for the movie" said Katashi. Genma just mumbled something, but stayed in the position he was in. Katashi just shrugged, and left Genma where he was, shaking his head as he did so.
Entering the living room, he found the others sitting around in front of the tv. Mizuki looked over at him. "Where's Genma?" he asked. "Sitting at the table asleep" said Katashi, turning the tv on. "His loss" said Mizuki. The others looked at him, in way that said you know something. "I know what this movie is about" said Mizuki. "Then how about you enlighten us" said Orochimaru. "Nah" said Mizuki. "That would ruin the surprise". The others just grumbled, as Katashi picked up a remote, and then came over to sit in a chair. "Gentleman, I hope you enjoy the show" said Katashi, pointing the remote at the vcr, and pushing play.
Soon as the movie started, all three men immediately let out a whistle at the scene they saw. "Is that who I think it is?" asked Orochimaru, turning to look at Katashi. "Sure is" said Katashi. "That is my little girl TenTen, in the shower". "You're a dirty old man, Katashi" said Orochimaru, going back to watching the movie.
Neji and TenTen
As Neji drove along, TenTen had gone to looking out her window, and thinking to herself. [This area seems very familiar] she thought. As she continued to think about how she knew the area, Neji made a left turn into a parking lot. "We're here TenTen" he said. Turning to look out the windshield, TenTen immediately knew why the area looked so familiar. Neji had pulled into the parking lot of Za Ko Parasu.
End of Chapter Nine
(A/N: Yes I made Haku a girl. And before anyone says anything about Haku being a boy, I don't want to hear it. As for Genma, I was asked to not let him watch the video. The only way I could come up with that stopped him from doing so, was to get so drunk, that he passed out at the table. Plus the fact that compared to all the other guys, Genma is a good guy, so I couldn't bring myself to have him be a pedo, like the others.)
