She gently pushed her bangs from her face. Eyes narrowed as she glared darkly at kakashi. She had went to visit lee at the hospital. Only to come across kakashi trying to stick Naruto with some guy named ebisu.
She was slightly thankful Minato and Jiraiya were off taking away away assumes curse seal at the moment. If they weren't then she was positive Minato would be having a field day right now. Perching her lips she studied the three of them. "Hey naruto, what's up?" naruto intently brightened considerably giving her the normal tackle hug. It took a great bit of Tenten strength to stay standing. Something she took not of immediately. "He's getting stronger." she filed this away. Fairly positive Minato would want to know.
It must have been the opening kakashi was looking for, because he immediately sunshined away. Naruto went into an uproar over this fact. "I don't care about training my fundamentals." Tenten narrowed her eyes at the ebisu character. She didn't like the way he was eyeing Naruto. She didn't like it at all.
She listened silently as they came to an agreement. Ebisu would hunt Naruto down. "Bye Tenten-chan i'll see you after a win." Naruto took off a huge grin on his face. Tenten staid back. Gazing silently at the man Ebisu. "Treat him well, id hate to have to report you to lord third." Ebisu"s eyes went huge. He didn't respond as he disappeared from view no doubt to follow Naruto.
Tenten swiftly made a shadow clone. After doing so her shadow clone and her locked eyes. Both eyes fairly dark. "You know what to do, follow them." Tenten's clone gaze a quick solute. Before taking off in their direction.
"That was very thoughtful of you. Looking out for Naruto like that." kakashi stated leaning against the wall. Tenten glanced at him, although his primary focus seemed to be on the novel in his hand. Tenten knew he was also looking at her.
"He's my friend." it was reason enough to look after Naruto. Kakashi hummed thoughtfully. "The father in this book is very protective." kakashi stated blandly. Tenten understood his meaning immediately. She cocked her head to the side slightly. Trying to find a way to phrase what she was about to say the right way. "I've actually read that perverse hogwash. The father is protective but so is the heroines best friend." kakashi eyes were understanding at that moment.
"I suppose she is." they sat in silence for several seconds. "So how was your day."
"Why are you keeping me." she cocked her head to the side eyes narrowed. He was making small talk in an attempt to keep her in the waiting room. Tenten had used this tactic several times. Kakashi gave an almost careless shrug. "No reason." Tenten rolled her eyes stepping quite bluntly around kakashi who followed behind her.
She stopped right outside of Lee's hospital room. Cocking her head to the side she glanced at kakashi. Stopping right before pulling open the door. "Is there a specific reason your following me?" kakashi shrugged lightly. "Just waiting." Tenten narrowed her yes at him and opened the door to Lee's room. He and guy sat in the room talking to each other.
"Hey lee." his head snapped up and a huge grin fell over his face. "Tenten-chan you visited." Tenten smiled huge. "Of course I did lee. How are you." they spoke for a bit kakashi hanging back of to the side of the room.
"Um Tenten why is kakashi following you?" lee finally addressed the kakashi in the room as Tenten stood to leave. "Not the slightest clue."
She really didn't know why the silver haired male was following her around. She wasn't entirely sure she wanted to know either. It would probably just make her mad in the end. So she chose to ignore him. He wouldn't give her a reason anyway it was obvious to her. He had already refused to tell her once, why waist the breath?
So walking down the road, a certain kakashi hatake following her. Tenten suddenly felt the weight on Minato in her mind. It was a heavy weight not his normal pre range. She paused in her trek down the road towards were her clone had dispelled itself moment before. "Minato?" she didn't get an answer and this made her more weary.
"kaze said he'd be using to much chakra so he might not check in for a bit." kakashi started from behind her. Tenten stiffened just a bit glancing at kakashi silently. "Is that why you've been following me?" kakashi shrugged but when he disappeared from view. He confirmed this for her.
Now Tenten was indecisive did she find, and check on Naruto? Or should she meditate and check on Minato. She huffed making yet another shadow clone and sending it out to keep tabs on Naruto. Heading to the training grounds her team normally stayed at.
When she made it she instantly sat down. Getting into position and meditating. As her body relaxed she felt herself being pulled into her mind. Tenten opened her eyes looking around her mind scape. Stopping when her eyes landed on a certain blonde sleeping against a tree. "Damn it Minato." she was half tempted to go over there and shake the holy hell out of him. But the closer she got the more her anger left her. She had underestimated the sheer amount of chakra it must have taken to do the seal transfer technique.
She squatted just a bit in front of him studying him silently. Cocking her head to the side she stared at him. He looked peaceful. But exhausted. Tenten just sighed sitting down on the ground in front of him. She closed her eyes and let herself drift off into deeper meditation. She had never really meditated while in her mind. It surprised her that she could. Before to long her peaceful meditation was broken by Minato.
"Why are you in meditation" his voice had a certain amused quality to it. Tenten scolded a bit letting her eyes pop open as she took in the blondes face. He was smiling at her but he still seemed fairly exhausted, this was something she noted immediately. "You were sleeping, it's not like a had anything better to do." Minato blinked twice before a huge smile pulled across his face. "You were worried about me." Tenten scoffled though she didn't deny what he had said. She saw no reason to. Minato smile only grew larger. Before she knew it she was sitting in the blonde mans lap, his arms wrapped around her. His head resting on her shoulder. " I find it upsetting that Kurama gets to constantly hold you like this. Yet I don't ever seem to get the opportunity." Tenten who at that point had been trying to get free froze. Then relaxed in the blondes hold.
"You shouldn't push yourself as far as you did. You were completely drained." Minato released a breath as he spoke. "That would normally be nothing for me. But I find that my chakra drains itself when using the jutsu Kurama and I use to walk around. I'm still unsure how he has managed to stay that way so long."
"I don't do complex seals whilst using that jutsu." Kurama voice filtered thru. He had appeared from nowhere literally. Resting his head in Tenten's lap. Minato sighed. "Must you always ruin our moments with your presence?" Kurama snorted barring his head into tenten's stomachs while she played almost absetly with his hair. Minato was still holding her in his lap. His arms wrapping around her middle a bit tighter. "I ask myself that same question every time you ruin our moments."
"Ladies, ladies calm yourselves there's enough Tenten to go around." her voice held great amusement and Kurama snorted. Minato releasing his own chuckle as they relaxed into a comfortable silence. Soon enough Tenten and Kurama had both fallen asleep. Minato completely amused by this. "She's already in her mind how can she just sleep." Minato knew Tenten had passed out at the training ground and he was proud of Kurama who had found her and bring her home before entering the mind scape himself. "I wonder sometimes what I'm going to do with you two." Minato wasn't far off himself and soon slipped into his own sleep. They were all exhausted mentally and physically. In moment like this it truly showed.
Damn. This chapter kinda room a different turn then I was going for. But seriously I couldn't help myself. They haven't had a fluffy moment in forever. What do you guys think? Constructive criticism is always welcome. Till next time.
