Playing a bit more with the POV this chapter, try not to get too confused. ,
CHAPTER 10 (have I really written 10 chapters? WOW!)
TenTen was closing her eyes tightly and whishing Gaara would go away. She thought maybe if she pretended to be asleep he'd leave her alone. Or kill her. She wouldn't mind that right now. Hell would probably be much better than this place, anyway.
But she's been closing her eyes and counting seconds for two hours now, and she could still feel him stare at her. She didn't like it that he was staring. Especially since her eyes were closed.
She waited two more hours. One of the things you DIDN'T get to practice daily when learning with Gai was patience. Sure, they had one or two training sessions covering it, but they weren't as serious as the practical ones. Gai always seemed to focus on the practical things.
And she seriously regretted that now, because after only four hours of shutting her eyes and laying on the sand, she couldn't stand it anymore.
She opened her eyes. Gaara was kinda happy that she did, he was getting sick of watching her. He was just about to shake her awake anyway. But from his experience from Temari and Kankurou, that got people annoyed. And he didn't want TenTen annoyed. He didn't want her to be afraid of him, even though they were in the desert, surrounded by sand, and he had a sand monster inside him, so that was probably impossible.
So he was rather happy she woke up on her own.
"You're awake." He stated. 'Make up your damn mind Gaara!! Are you going to kidnap her? Are you going to take her back to Konoha? Are you gonna take her back to the sand?!!?'
"You're still here?" TenTen asked, trying her best to sound confused. 'Of course he's still here, duh! He was staring at me when I was sleeping! I just hope he hasn't got any perverted idea's, staring at me like that...'
"You don't want me here? I thought you wanted help." He told her, trying his best to sound like he didn't care, using his oh-so-safe monotone. 'She hates me ::sobsob::'
"Staring at me sleeping doesn't count as help in my book." She informed him. 'SHIT!! What am I doing?! Am I trying to get Gaara of the desert angry at me?!??'
"Would you rather I killed you?" Gaara threatened. A threat was the safest thing he could think to say. 'Smooth. So she knows I was staring at her. GAARA NO BAKA of course she knows! She's a ninja too! Ninja's know when people stare at them in their sleep! What were you trying to pull off?!?'
"No, that's ok." She assured him. No point in getting Gaara of the desert angry, it couldn't possibly end up good.
She stood up. "So where did you say Konoha was?" She asked him, hoping it would lead to a useful result.
Gaara, trying very hard to keep his poker face but really sobbing very deeply from the inside that she didn't want him to help her, pointed in a random direction.
TenTen took a few steps and collapsed. 'shit. Now I'm going to stay in this fucked up desert for eternity until I either A: die or B: get killed by Gaara. Shit shit shit. I NEED WATER!'
She felt the sand starting to wrap around her body. 'I'm probably too weak to be any use to him, so he decided to kill me...ah well. Better off that way.' She told herself, and started praying and trying to communicate with Neji telepathically. He always believed in this sort of nonsense, didn't he?
Thinking of Neji made her let out a giggle. He'd probably say that 'tis her destiny, to die in the middle of the desert by none other than THE Gaara.
Gaara (who was in the process of kidnapping TenTen, he finally made up his mind) was sure she was laughing at him and was deeply offended.
---meanwhile...KONOHA!---
Hopping around from roof to roof was fun. Especially when you've already dated all the guys in Konoha, weren't on a mission, you're favorite obsession was brutally taken away from you by someone you'd be lying if you said you didn't like, all of the scrolls you had have been read over a thousand times, and your mom was being extremely annoying saying you'll end up all alone and she won't have any grandchildren.
So Sakura was hopping around from roof to roof, glancing at the people walking around, doing their shopping. She had been hopping for over 2 hours now and she hoped that she'd see something that would stop the hopping, because she was really starting to get sick of it.
But nothing stopped her 'fun', so she decided to go on a visiting spree. First she went to visit Ino's flower shop. But Shikamaru, holding a crying baby that was Todai, took Ino's place at the shop for the day, which really surprised Sakura. She knew that Shikamaru despised working in the shop, and especially hated to do so while taking care of Todai. Todai was his and Kin's (from the sound) baby, or so the rumors said. Shikamaru took care of her as a single dad, while Ino helped him out most of the time. The whole story with Kin and Todai only deepened his dislike for women. Even though he loved Todai, who even as a little 1-year-old child could already (barely, but still) make objects stay still for a few seconds. She was a very smart baby.
But Shikamaru said that Ino was away on a mission, and he was stuck with her stupid flower shop.
So Sakura went to visit Naruto, but he was busy trying to learn a new technique with Jiraya-Sama.
So Sakura was still hopping from house to house, thinking of who to visit next.
Half an hour later she had already been through every single Jounin, Chounin and even Genin she knew, all of them were busy or on missions.
So finally, still being bored to hell and trying very very hard to avoid going to train, she went to the place she dreaded going... the Uchiha's. She'd have to visit them later anyway, right? Right.
Hinata and Sasuke were trying to ignore the knocks on the door. They were trying very very hard to ignore them, in fact. But neither of them could help but wince with every knock, and the knocks just got stronger, and didn't stop.
They both understood very well that the knocker wouldn't go away, and that they wouldn't be able to get on with their sex. They looked at each other, disappointed that they couldn't have more of each other right now.
"COMING!" Hinata yelled in a quiet sort of way (A/N: how can you yell in a quiet sort of way, you ask? Hinata can. :P). She put on a large t-shirt and shorts, and went to answer the door.
"Hi" said a grinning Sakura. 'I wonder why Hinata looks so annoyed...' (A/N: can Hinata even look annoyed?!? Is that possible??)
"Hi." Hinata said, trying very very hard to hide the fact that she was very annoyed over the fact the she was just stopped from having sex with her husband by her husbands x-crush. "Do come in.," she said quietly.
Sasuke came in to the living room as well, fully dressed (but... but why?? Lol HE had time to change clothes...) Hinata shot a glance towards him that clearly said 'get this over with quickly please' and went to change as well.
When Sasuke got back from the kitchen, where he went to so he can get some cookies and milk (Hinata finished all the ramen while he was away. God it was good to have her around.), Shikamaru (who already closed the shop, and wasn't going to get any sleep anyway because Todai was being a pain.), Todai, Naruto, Kiba, Shino, Neji and Lee were also there.
Sasuke almost dropped the tray in surprised but remained in his cool and collected state, put the tray down on the table, and went to call Hinata.
There had never been so many people in his house for a looooong time.
