There for You
Tenten clicked the pause icon on the remote of her Ipod dock as she reached across her blue comforter to retrieve her vibrating cell phone. She raised an eyebrow at to who the text was from. Tenten chose the compose icon, smiling.
To: Sasuke
its 11pm, dude. watcha want?
She sent the short message, glancing at her digital clock. It was exactly eleven o'clock. Her blue phone beeped once again as his reply came.
So? Just meet me at you-know-where.:P Or I throw rocks at ur window.
Tenten grabbed her green Aeropostale hoodie, her cell phone, and her Ipod nano, waving to her brother as a sign she was going out. He rolled his eyes and waved back.
"Dad and Mom's coming home tomorrow morning, at nine." She grinned.

"Hey." Sasuke motioned for Tenten to climb up the tree, patting the large branch next to him. She swung on easily, and grabbed her Ipod.
"So…why'd you want to meet?" She asked. Tenten glanced up at his pale face, shadows from the large willow trees casting dark areas on it. Her eyes bore into the side of his face, and he sighed.
"It happened again." He leaned back into the hollowed tree with an imperative sigh. Tenten scooted closer to him in concern.
"How bad was it?" She asked. Her mocha irises connected with his onyx ones for a few moments, the feeling lingering.
"Really bad. Itachi could barely stop him from ruining everything.." Sasuke paused to look up at the darkened sky, squinting to locate any visible stars. "He was just really really wasted and, you know-violent." After a few moments of awkward silences, she answered.
"…I can't really say it's going to be alright, can I?" He chuckled at that. Sasuke felt the warmth of her soft hand upon his, squeezing it in consolation. Her head gently met his shoulder. Both pair of eyes shut tight, one spoke.
"I wish this summer wouldn't end."
"Me too."

Neji banged his fists angrily on the marble table, wincing when it smacked on his wrist. He glared at the busy phone line, teeth clenched in disdain.
"Why isn't she answering?!" He was furious. Tenten, after he called her more than six times, wouldn't answer her phone. He reached for the communication device again, this time dialing a different number. Waiting for it to ring a few moments, a sleepy voice answered.
"What?" Shikamaru drawled into the receiver, yawning. Neji smirked.
"Where is she?" Neji demanded. Shikamaru rolled his dark eyes in return.
"It's twelve, Neji. She's sleeping." Neji hissed unsatisfactorily. He hung up quickly.

Shikamaru dived back under the covers, throwing his cell phone somewhere around his room. He smirked as it clattered to the floor with a few ticks and thuds. Yawning, he looked pleased with himself.
A little white lie wouldn't hurt.

Author's Ramblings: Woah. That was some kind of loving! :P Shikamaru's pretty clever. Oh yeah, a question!! Should I put Sakura in the next chapter? And her little bodyguards too. Then maybe some NaruHina action?
