Alright! Thanks to the following people who reviewed my first Naruto story:
Simon Cowell of Ffnet- Thank you for you opinion. I'll try my best to make it more original and who knows… I might NOT put in any pairings… just sick dying people.
Mewt- Thanks for reviewing and saying that it's funny. Gai kind of reminds me of my ROTC teacher… except for the eyebrows… I thought that were Team 10… Thanks for telling me )
Harukakanata- WRONG! Danke is Italian for Hello! I'm just playing… it's German for Thank You. That's the only thing I've remembered from my German classes anyways…
Aki-child- I know… snot sux… I had the pleasure of getting sneezed on by my friend on time… curse you Mahanay… (shakes fist angrily)
Clear-glass- Thank you for review. I hope you like the next chapter
Aries Stephastone- Oh… oh well… I suck at spelling anyways… DISCLAIMER!
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto… and I never will… unless the real owner somehow comes to my doorstep and says "Congratulations, you officially own Naruto"!
Chapter 2- And so it spreads…
Tenten sat on her overstuffed couch the next morning completely wrapped up in a fuzzy teal blanket. Her mother announced to her that she has caught the Flusious from Lee yesterday, whom she's going to kill when she gets better.
"You soup will be ready in a few minutes, hon," Tenten's mother called from the kitchen.
Tenten sighed. As she was waiting for her soup to be ready, he decided to throw kunais at a worn out pillow to try to keep her skills up. Unfortunately, the drowsiness of her virus destroyed her concentration and she only hit her target twice out of twelve.
"Lee, I'm going to kill you…" Tenten murmured to herself as she sneezed three times. She reached for a few tissues and blew her nose as the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" As she attempted to stand on her feet, her mother forced her down back on the couch.
"No you won't! Just lay there and rest!" she scolded as she went to answer the door. Tenten huffed and crossed her arms on her chest as her mother opened the door. She looked over and saw that it was Neji… still in his pajamas.
"Is this Tenten's home?" A look alike but taller Neji asks. "We would like for you to hold Neji-san for these days he are sick. The Hyuuga's leader cannot afford for the whole family to get caught with the disease."
"Of course," she replied happily. She has known Tenten's teammates, Neji and Lee, when they were just genin. They usually came over to visit or Tenten would visit them. She picked up Neji's bag and carried it towards the closet. "You can sit right next to Tenten on the couch. The soup will be ready in a few minutes." She smiled at them two sick children and went back into the kitchen.
"Why are you here?" Tenten asks as she sniffed in some boogers up her nose.
"Hioshi-suma doesn't wunt me to geve the diseuse to unyone else en the fumily," Neji answered with a stuffed nose (And I know that's not how to spell Hiashi-sama. M'Kay). He had black spots all over his family and his pale eyes were red from sneezing. "Stupid Lee…."
"We'll get him when we can actually stand," Tenten offered him an extra blanket from the closet. She grabbed a light gray one and toss it onto the Hyuuga prodigy. "Mom won't even let us stand up…"
"You mother can't boss me around," Neji rose from the couch and began to walk to the kitchen.
"Go back and rest on the couch, Hyuuga Neji! You'll never get well if you get up and get even sicker!" Being the strong woman she was, Tenten's mother lifted Neji and brought him back on the couch. "Now stay until soup's ready!" She waved the spoon threatingly at them.
" 'She can't boss me around'," Tenten mimicked her comrade. Neji only glared at her and took the box of tissues. "Target practice?" Tenten offered some of her kunais to him, who accepted and started throwing them at the pillow. Minutes later, Tenten's mother came to them and served beef and chicken noodle soup.
"This is actually good," Neji complimented taking another swallow of it.
"It's the best soup. No one can compare!" Tenten's mother said as she went to the back room. Minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Knowing that her mother never can hear the door from the back, Tenten stood up and answered the door instead. On the other side was a certain pink-hair girl from Team 7.
"Hey, I heard you and Lee got sick," Haruno Sakura said in concern. "I brought you some soup. I hope it helps" She handed Tenten a warm pot. Sakura looked past her and noticed Hyuuga Neji sitting on the couch half asleep. "Neji's sick, too?"
"Yeah," Tenten began to cough. "He caught it by Lee yesterday. "The Hyuuga clan didn't wait the rest of them to catch it and they decided to send him here."
"Isn't that sweet! You can be sick together," Sakura nudged the weapons master. Tenten just glared at her and accepted the soup. "I'll see you later. I got to meet with the rest of the team." (A/N: Oh how later mean next chapter…) Sakura waved and closed the door behind her.
"Bye," Tenten cough. She turned around and ran right into her mother, who had an angry expression on her face. "I was just answering the door…"
"But you're sick. You're sick a very contagious virus that can spread even by breathing another person's air. That's why I must answer the door, not you or Neji. I already had the Flusious. So whomever you talked to now has Flusious!"
Tenten sweatdropped at the realization of the matter. Lee's mother did tell us about that yesterday…Di-achoo! Tenten's thoughts were interrupted by her sneeze. "Uh oh…"
Meanwhile at Team 7's training grounds, Sasuke and Naruto waiting for their sensei and Sakura to show up.
"Sakura's never is late…" Sasuke said as he waited patiently. "You're the one usually late, Naruto."
"What's that suppose to mean!" Naruto yelled at the Uchiha child.
"It means… you… are… usually… late…" Sasuke slurred for the blonde. Before Naruto could attempt to kick him, Sakura finally appeared.
"Sorry I'm late. Tenten and Neji were sick so I brought them over some soup," Sakura apologized to the boys.
"No problem. Let's get started since Kakashi-sensei is going to be late as usual," Sasuke said as they began their training. Hours later, when their sensei finally decided to show up, they were sitting at the Ramen shop, which Kakashi's paying for. Naruto inhaled six bowls, Sasuke on his third bowl, and Sakura stopping halfway through her second bowl. She then sneezed and Naruto said, "Bless you."
"I really don't fell well. I'll head home," Sakura rose from her seat.
"I'll walk you home," Sasuke offered. "I'm starting to get dizzy anyways. And since your house is on the way…"
"Okay. Thank you," Sakura blushed a little. Naruto and Kakashi stayed behind as the blonde started on this eighth bowl.
Whatcha think? It's starting to get a bit longer. Review… if you like.
