26. Field trip
Tenten sat between the two boys on the boat, a solid fortress of propriety. It was a fine day, and the carefree chatter of the other students washed over them as they sailed to Koi Island.
For once, Neji was glad about Tintin's 'chaperoning duties.' She had saved him from kissing his sensei's eternal rival. He'd been prepared for many dangers on this mission, but nothing as awful as what nearly happened during the fair.
He looked out towards the sea, pensive.
"I feel as if there's some unresolved sexual tension between you two now." Tenten joked.
A splash off the portside precluded Neji's scathing reply as an outcry of 'student overboard!' arose.
Kakashi sighed, loathe to wet his mask. Still, he had a reputation to establish as swashbuckling rounin kid. He stood.
Tenten socked him in the gut.
"Your wishes, Nadia-sama?" she asked, ignoring Kakashi's plaintive,"No need to go that far…" as he sank down with a grunt.
"Go," Neji murmured benevolently.
Tenten leapt off the stern, diving cleanly into the water. She surfaced with the blubbering student slung over her shoulder. Molding chakra, she lightly trotted across the water's surface, then ran up the side of the boat.
