UNDEFINED TRIANGLE
A/N: Ha! I came back after my disappearance! All of you must've thought I'm dead! Hehe. Well... I haven't come online in one and a half month now! Well... at night though. xD I only use the internet now for facebook games, checking mails, and downloading stuff. I was too busy with school stuff and watching TV.
Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto and its character! And ChibiNinjaPanda owns Kazuki! His true identity will be revealed later!
Chapter 20: Familiarity
TenTen quickly stuffed the remaining pieces of her breakfast in her mouth, wanting to drop the conversation. Then suddenly her sidekick buzzed. A new message was in her inbox from an email address she didn't recognize.
Big surprise for you in... 10 minutes... starting... NOW! ;P _K
The sender must have typed a wrong email address so she quickly shrugged it off and ran off to class. Even though the same people are going to show up in her homeroom.
She treaded her way to homeroom and on her way she bumped into a really dark guy – she quickly scanned. Something about him is feels awkwardly familiar to her. "Sorry," she said and saw the guy smirk and left saying, "no prob." And the voice was very familiar as well.
She was sure it was the first time seeing that dark dude around school. 'Maybe a new transfer student.' She thought and shrugged the thoughts off too.
But that guy came back. "Do you by any chance know how to get to Room 201? I'm new." He spoke. His voice doesn't fit his appearance at all. TenTen had to ponder if he was talking or if someone else did.
"Uh sure, I'm going there myself." She replied politely and led the way.
"The name's Kazuki,"
"Ten-" She shook her head again. That always happen when she had to introduce herself. "I mean Ken."
"Cool, we have the same initials!" He gushed.
Then Sasuke appeared in front of the door. 'How did he get there so fast?'
When he saw her his face lightens... but when he saw him stalking behind her, he frowned. Sign of jealousy!
"Hey," he said to TenTen.
"Heyy," She froze in between, caught in Sasuke's glare at Kazuki. "Um, this is Kazuki, a new student?" She asked for backup in case she was wrong. "Kazuki, Sasuke."
"Hi!" He took out his hand.
TenTen widened her eyes at Sasuke, sending him a be-polite message. He groaned inwardly and took the hand but instead the new guy improvised it into a handshake. He sighed.
"Ten-" The guy sounded feminine a second ago. "Ken, where 'cha sitting?"
Sasuke went in the room first and took out a chair beside him. "Here." He said bitterly.
"Oh cool! Then I'll take the seat beside it!" He almost sounded sing-songy, despite his appearance.
Then the morning bell rang, indicating attendace is going to be checked. Their homeroom teacher came up and did attendance then announced to the class that a new student has joined.
Kazuki was summoned to the front of the class to give a brief introduction. "Hi! I'm Kazuki Minami!"
"Minami?!" TenTen blurted automatically.
"What? You know him?" Kiba whisper-asked her from behind.
"No... Well, yeah, but... sorta, you can say that... Argh!"
"You okay?" Sasuke asked, his hand on hers for a warming touch.
She nodded with smile and quickly shifted her hand away from his. What would the others think?!
Kazuki was randomly listing a bunch of things he enjoyed to do and like and dislike never endingly. The teacher was tapping his foot, impatient. He kept staring at his watch and back at Kazuki with a glare. He is so not going into the teacher's good list.
"Mr. Minami, you did a great job, thank you... Welcome to Konoha Boys Boarding school!" He said, feigning enthusiasm. "Now go back to your seat." He whisper-threatened him.
Without a word Kazuki retreated to his seat.
When homeroom was over, Sasuke was GLAD! Now that guy would be in another class. But nooooo, his entire schedule was an exact replica of TenTen's! And Sasuke sat grumpily all day hating the dude. That new student is not going into Sasuke's good list either!
After school, as TenTen and Sasuke was going to the soccer field for their training, Sasuke thought he caught a glimpse of his brother. But then he shrugged the thought off. Why would Itachi be here? There's no one he'd care about seeing here at all.
He left the house right after graduating high school because their parents won't let Itachi go to an art school. They wanted him to take over their family business. But he left them to pursue his dreams. To be an artist!
He looked down at TenTen. His arm was around her but it didn't make it look like they're gay or anything. It just looked like a buddy hug and she seemed content with it. Even he didn't care what other might think about them, why did she care?
Ever since Sasuke found out TenTen's a girl, he's been panicking covering up for her at soccer practices. When the teams are split up into the shirt and shirtless groups, he would count ahead to see if she's going to be in the shirtless and if she is, he'd go in beside her so she'd stay with her shirt on. He also made her goal keeper if she's in his team so it'd save her from all the running. And when they return to their dorm, he'd let her shower first. He does all these small little things for her that makes TenTen love Sasuke more!
Then suddenly TenTen's sidekick buzzed again. "Sorry, I gotta take this." She said after taking a quick glance at the caller ID.
"Okay, meet ya at practice then!" With that Sasuke ran off after giving a wave at his girlfriend.
"Hey, Sakura..." She trailed off, thinking back at what has happened to their friendship.
"TenTen, when are you coming back?" She heard Hinata sobbed.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me! I thought we were girlfriends till the end!" Temari bellowed. "You told her instead! Can't believe it! We met before you met her!"
This is the part she hates the most. Both Sakura and Temari always think the longer they've known each other, they should come before any other friends that were made after them. And Ino was next to last to enter their clique. Hinata being last.
"Girls, I'm sorry... blame the butler," she said trying to hide her frustration. "I promise we will have a great October break in 2 days."
"Is that all you have to make it up for us?" Sakura said in a somewhat sinister voice. It might sound like a joking voice to the other 2 girls but to her, it's dead real.
"I'm still thinking,"
"How about you owe each of us a request each?" Sakura dared.
She gulped inaudibly.
"Nice going Sakura," Temari said and high fived each other.
"We gotta go TenTen, see ya some other time! Like at October break! Ta ta! Mwah!" She heard them make a kissy voice over the phone and hung up. 2 more days and October break's going to come. And she'll have to give all her time to them...
The day ended quickly. It was midnight and her sidekick buzzed again. She has a new mail in her inbox, again from that same unknown sender.
Hope you didn't mind the intrusion, Cousin _K
Cousin? Intrusion? K? What is going on?
She traced back her family tree to both of her father and mother sides. She found 2 with Ks! Katana and Katsuri. One from her mother side and the other from her father side. But which one could it be? Can't be Katsuri, she's already married and far, far, far away from where is now. But can it be Katana too? She was attending Konoha academy which locates on the other end of Konoha.
The next day was a lovely Saturday morning. And after Sunday is the official day that marks the beginning of October break. In the cafeteria, TenTen invited Kazuki to sit with her and the others. "So you're with Juugo?" Suigetsu asked.
Kazuki nodded with a fork poked in his mouth. "What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, just amazed that he decided to share a room with someone... finally!" Zaku said in a finally-free way.
Kazuki giggled. And the entire table gawked at him.
"Sorry." He said and sunk in his chair. He is actually kinda cute for a guy... no too cute in personality to look like that. He has an emo hair cut which covers up his left crimson eyes straight down as the rest of his hair.
"So where are you guys going for October break?" Naruto started.
"Scuba diving and hitting Jamaica!" Suigetsu said anxiously.
"Never would've guessed." Kiba said sarcastically.
"I'm going back to China," TenTen said, then looked at Sasuke expecting him to tell the group what he'd do. Because he kept it a secret from her too. Then she remembered she promised her gal pals she'd be with them for October break... she totally forgot about her flight to China!
The rest of the table had already bragged their glamorous plans for the break except Sasuke and Kazuki. "What about you two?"
"Not sure yet..." Kazuki smiled... the kind of smile that makes you wonder what they're thinking.
"You guys can find out after the break ends!" Sasuke said and stood up, preparing to leave the school for the short break.
Later that day TenTen went to the Haruno estate.
"TenTen!!!" Temari squealed in joy as Hinata threw herself toTenTen for a big teddy bear hug.
"Need to breath!" TenTen yelled just in case she did get choked by the tight embraces the 2 girls are now giving her.
"What's all the loud noises?" Sakura ask, walking down royalty style down her marble stair case. "Oh, Tennie!" She gave TenTen a petite hug and 2 fake kisses on both cheeks.
TenTen didn't see Ino around and didn't dare ask as they were mad at her for telling Ino and not them.
"How can you stand around boys that long? In the same room! How'd you bath so insecurely? Does Sasuke sleep naked? Is the room messy?" Temari inquired.
"They're not that bad." TenTen tried defending.
"Puh-lease." Sakura held up her palm in a talk-to-the-hand style.
"Let's punish you with a makeover! Muahahaha!" Hinata feigned devilish.
She couldn't whine now. So she just pouted.
Then at midnight, just as they were watching Gossip Girl...
"Guys, I can't stay all October break with you guys." She blurted.
Hinata stared at her with sad eyes. "Is it because of the makeover? We won't ever do it again! I promise!"
"Why? Do you hate us now?" Temari also asked, concerned and shocked.
Sakura's face didn't reveal any emotions at all, she just sat there smirking at the plasma screen TV.
"No, nothing like that, I forgot to mention about my non-refundable ticket back to China. My mom wanted to see me after the storm... you know?"
"Oh, okay, we totally understand." Hinata assured and glanced at Temari and she gave the same assuring smile. "Right Sakura?"
"Yeah, whatever." She sounded bored.
5 days later she was sitting numbly in her room in Shanghai after her 3 days trip around Macau. She's been stuffing herself with Chinese food all day long and now she felt sick. Then a knock came over the door.
"Miss, there's a visitor for you downstairs." The maid told her in Mandarin. Then left after seeing TenTen walk to the door.
"Who could be visiting me now?" She groaned and dragged herself to the living room and saw... a guy in a black hoodie shading his face. TenTen wondered who it could me. Her mother was laughing hysterically as the visitor talked. He sounds familiar... and she suddenly got that awkward familiarity as she close up near him.
