~New Faces and New Rivals ~
Note: New Faces doesn't mean that they have never seen each other...the two words just fit right with new rivals...hehe, sorry to confuse you. ^^
Naruto scratched his head and looked at the visitors...if they are visitors. Before Naruto invited them in, the newcomers barged in and dropped their bags and looked at everyone. All the people in the room collected their jaws from the floor and they stared at each other.
One of them put his hand on her waist and then opened her mouth, "Is this what we get for a greeting? Bah, why did I even bother to live here?" Shikamaru said. His hair was in the same hairstyle, in a ponytail.
Then this black haired girl with two buns on her head cheerfully greeted everyone and when she reached Neji, she held his hands longer than the others. "Hello," she said. And just then, Rock Lee and Ino came in arm and arm and the current roommates fell down again; they couldn't take anymore surprises.
"Ten-Ten!!" Rock Lee welcomed her while she was still greeting Neji. His black eyes looked at the new guests. There was the ungrateful Shikamaru, nice and weird Ten-Ten, the beautiful sibling of Gaara, Temari.
At that moment, the rest embraced their new roommates and then Naruto treated them a bowl of ramen...at the beach house. ^^
After everyone ate their lunch, there was one thing on everyone's mind.
The bedrooms.
Naruto and everyone else sighed, except for the newcomers because they've had trouble with the bedrooms also. Later, the gang went up the stairs and started to split them into their bedrooms.
It was all decided...easily(thank goodness^^) Shikamaru was to room in with Rock Lee, and Temari was to room with her brother Gaara, and Ten-Ten was to room with Sakura and Ino, but she suggested to room with Neji and Hinata. "But why?" Naruto asked and Ten-Ten winked at Neji who then looked away with disgust, and among the crowd...Sakura lowered her head down with disappointment.
Naruto didn't understand why Ten-Ten would even think about rooming with Neji when he saw that Hinata was in that room, also. He then went up and whispered to Ten-Ten, "Don't worry, I understand...but you see, Hinata and I are going out, so I think that you should room with Sakura-Chan and Ino," He sympathetically laid a hand on her shoulder which Ten-Ten knocked him down.
"I'm not gay," she simply said and then went to her room.
While they were settling into their rooms, Temari unloaded her belongings and her brother Gaara was sitting with his knees crossed suspiciously looking at his sibling. "Why?" his dark and malicious eyes locked with Temari's cheerful and mysterious eyes.
"Well, Kankuro and I knew that you didn't want us to 'tag along', but when you were gone...I decided to stir up some fun, so Kankuro decided that I should go...since you two have a lot to deal with," Temari smiled mischievously, and Gaara ignored her.
In Neji's room, Ten-Ten was emptying out her luggage when Neji entered the room. She paused for a second and then went over to him, "Hello, Neji," she winked and then sat down with him, and Neji ignored her, "why with the sad face? Do the people here not like you? I can fix that." Ten-Ten flashed an eye at him and then continued with her belongings.
"As a matter of fact, one person in this whole household happened to accept me," his piercing white eyes looked at out of the door and landed on Sakura who was busy in her bedroom.
Ten-Ten gave a smirk and then sarcastically answered, "I wonder who, Neji." She laughed.
"Sakura," Neji answered and when he said that Ten-Ten dropped her stuff by accident and picked it up. She couldn't believe her own ears, the pink- haired girl who's had a lifelong crush on Sasuke, she thought. Ten-Ten then made a comeback at Neji trying to convince him that Sakura isn't right for him.
"What about that Sasuke guy who Sakura dearly loved?" Ten-Ten waited for his answer.
"She doesn't seem to like him anymore ever since he and Ino went out,"
Ten-Ten then had a surprised look on her face and felt that time had stopped. "Ino? Yamanaka Ino? Blonde Ino? Conceited and popular Ino? The Ino that is rooming with Sakura, that Ino?" Ten-Ten tried to make sure that Neji and she were talking about Ino.
"The one and only," Neji replied and Ten-Ten had an amused look in her eyes and then their conversation ended for the night.
In Rock Lee's room, Shikamaru was busy unloading his stuff when Rock Lee entered the room with hearts in his eyes. "So, who is that lucky girl of yours?" Shikamaru happened to have his back on Rock Lee who was still dreaming about it.
"Oh, um Ino," Rock Lee sighed as if the sound of her name made him drool with pleasure. Shikamaru stopped for a moment and then resumed to his belongings.
"I see but what do you see in her anyway? She's nothing but a lying- manipulating-conceited girl," Shikamaru insulted.
"Don't talk about her like that, she's not what she seems," Rock Lee got up and defended his girlfriend, "if you've got the time to get to know her and even have a conversation with her, you'll see that she has a kind and warm heart who has never been able to give it away for a worthy guy," his black eyes shone with bravery and love.
"Bah, keep on saying that. Wait until you two are actually in love, that's when you'll see fangs showing," Rock Lee didn't understand what Shikamaru meant but instead, he went downstairs to Ino.
~*~
There was a loud conversation coming from downstairs and the smell of delicious and warm ramen could be smelt from anywhere in the house. ^^ There was a warm aura surrounding the dinner table with the roommates and their bubbly and cheery conversation.
Naruto was busy slurping up his noodles and Hinata kindly offered him a second helping of the noodles.
"Thank you, Hinata," Naruto kissed her and his girlfriend blushed slightly.
"No problem, Naruto-kun," Hinata replied as she resumed back to her meal. While she was busy witnessing the warm conversation her eyes could feel an icy feeling of darkness and it landed on Gaara who was looking at his sibling, Temari who was trying to attempt some flirting with the silent Sasuke.
"So, Sasuke...I haven't seen you for a long time, now have we?" Temari gracefully twirled her fork with some noodles, hoping to catch Sasuke's attention. When she looked at him, Sasuke didn't answer nor gave an effort to their conversation. Temari then swallowed her pride and disappointedly shoved the noodles into her mouth and ate in silence with her cold eyes laid on Sakura.
While they were busy eating, Rock Lee and Ino were sitting next to each other hand in hand as they both ate their meal with a nice conversation.
"So, how is everything, Ino?" Rock Lee took a bite out of his Ramen, and looked at his girlfriend. She gave him a warm smile which answered his question, "um, Ino..."
"Uh huh?" Ino asked.
"Well...um.....uh, well I was wondering...about this whole thing..." Rock Lee could feel a sweat drop coming from him and then scratched his head nervously, "well I was wondering if we could take it slow, I mean...I want to get to know you better,"
Ino squeezed his hand and smiled, "We can do whatever you want, Lee, as long as it will make both of us happy," The two of them held each other and later dismissed themselves to take a short stroll on the beach.
When the couple left, Sakura gave a hopeful smile at them and then Neji whispered something in her ear. "Sakura...um, I want to ask you a question," Sakura listened with attentiveness as Neji finished his sentence, "do you mind at all that Ten-Ten is going to be sleeping in my bedroom with Hinata for the rest of the time we will be here?"
Sakura then answered, "No, I don't mind. I bet that you two have a lot to catch up since you two were in the same team," she said without knowledge that the words that came out of her mouth could haunt her back someday.
Right then, Sasuke didn't feel at all hungry and he excused himself and then started back to his bedroom, with Sakura looking confused and Temari feeling a dark satisfaction inside as she took a last bite out of her noodles.
A/N: So who was it?? Sorry if I didn't put in your favorite character, but I'll try to add in some more...as you can see, these new people serve GOOD and IMPORTANT purposes ^^ *sigh* More chapters and more to come...if that's a good thing...
