What Happened to Us?

Chapter 21-That's how he proposed

"WOW! I never knew you had it in you Shikamaru!" Screamed Naruto as he looked at Shikamaru with awe.

Sasuke merely grunted but he was in awe too. 'He made it sound so easy. Will it really be that easy?' he thought to himself as he turned to Neji.

"Your turn." He smirked. The Hyuuga was blushing…slightly.

"Hn. Me and Tenten were sparring. I asked, She agreed. End of story." came his short and blunt reply.


With the girls…

The girl were walking past the stores quietly when Sakura noticed a small alleyway she had never noticed before.

"Hey girls, where does that lead to?" she asked the others.

"I don't know. I never noticed it before." came Hinata's quiet reply.

"Same here." came the simultaneous replies of Ino and Tenten.

"Do you want to check where it leads to?" Sakura asked as she looked at the deserted alleyway curiously.

"Sure."

"Ok."

Agreed Ino and Tenten but Hinata was a little more hesitant.

"But…what if it leads to somewhere dangerous?"

"Don't worry Hinata" Sakura said to her in a comforting voice.

"Yeah! We're kunoichis! We can defend ourselves!" Ino said in a excited voice.

Hinata agreed hesitantly and they headed towards the lane.


(5 minutes later)

They stepped out of the alleyway and saw a clearing. It was peaceful and had lots of cherry blossom trees.

They sat down against a tree and Ino immediately started telling them about Shikamaru's proposal.

Sakura's mind started wondering, because she had already heard Ino tell the story hundreds of times, when her eyes caught something flashing on Tenten's finger. By now, Ino was talking about the latest trends in fashion. She moved closer to get a better look and realized what the flashing light was.

It was the sunlight bouncing off of Tenten's new diamond ring.

"Hey Tenten…" Tenten turned around to face Sakura.

"Yes?"

"So…when were you going to tell us about Neji's proposal?" Sakura asked in a teasing voice.

"WHAT?! NEJI PROPOSED?" screamed the loud blonde.

"Yeah."

"How did he propose? Tell me everything!" whined Ino.

"Well…you know the day our children all had to go to the academy to get tested so that Iruka-sensei could know their skill level? He proposed after we left Negi at the academy."


Flashback

"Do your best!" encouraged Tenten as Negi walked away.

Both she and Neji watched Negi walk into the door with an emotionless expression.

When he disappeared behind the door, she turned to Neji with a smile on her face and said, "So, what do you want to do now?"

"Hn. Lets go spar." he stated and started walking away.

Tenten hurried to catch up to him.

(10 minutes later)

They arrived at their old training ground and Neji got into a stance.

Tenten threw all kinds of weapons in his direction but he deflected them all. He slowly advanced towards her, but just when he was about to reach her, he found that his feet were stuck.

"What the?" he looked around and realized that he was bound to a tree with vines.

He turned to face a smirking Tenten.

"I control the power of earth. I can command trees, vines, grass, flowers and all kinds of nature."

Neji mentally swore. He was too absorbed in making the spar a close combat spar that he didn't notice the tree until he was caught.

Tenten freed him from the vines and they sat down against the tree. In the distance, the sun was setting.

"It's so beautiful." she exclaimed while watching the sun set.

"Tenten…"

Tenten turned around to face Neji, but instead she met a small box with a gorgeous diamond ring in it.

"…Will you marry me?"

She gasped. "Of course!"

And together they sat there, watching the sunset.


"Oh."

"My."

"God."

"He actually proposed like that?" asked Ino.

Tenten nodded.

"That's so romantic!" exclaimed Hinata in a quiet voice.

"I wish Sasuke-kun would propose to me and then we can watch the sunset together as well!" said Sakura in a dreamy voice.

After they got over the shock of Neji's proposal, the talk turned to their children.


With the guys…

Naruto wasn't very pleased with Neji's reply and thus he tried to get a…proper reply from the Hyuuga prodigy.

"Come on Neji, give us details!"

"No"

"Please!"

"No"

"Just a bit more detail!"

"No"

Pissed that he wasn't going to get any information from Neji, he finally gave up.

"So…how are you 2 going to propose?" Shikamaru asked Naruto and Sasuke.

"I don't know." came Sasuke's emotionless reply.

"I HAVE NO IDEA!" screamed Naruto.

"Then lets think about some possibilities." said Shikamaru as he lied down and closed his eyes.

"Why not just ask?" Sasuke asked the others.

"That's not romantic! It's more likely the girls would agree if the atmosphere was more romantic!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Fine then, lets try to think of some ideas."


(15 minutes later)

"I GOT IT!" screamed Naruto as he stood up from his sitting position.

"What is it?" asked Shikamaru.

"I'm not going to tell you, but can you take care of Haru and Nina tomorrow night?"

"It's troublesome, but the troublesome woman would kill me if I didn't agree. Sure, I'll take care of them."

"Thanks." and with that Naruto started to walk out the door.

"Where are you going, dobe?" asked Sasuke.

"I'm going to make preparations!"

'BAM!'

They heard the front door slam shut.

Sasuke stood up.

"Hyuuga. Take care of my children tomorrow night."

"...fine."

Then Sasuke walked off to make preparations as well.

Shikamaru and Neji sat there in silence for a while until…

"Hey, what about their children right now? They are in the room next door right?" asked Neji.

Shikamaru sighed. "Troublesome…but we have to take care of them for now."
