Lost In Translation
When Gai-sensei told her they were going on a class trip, Tenten was excited. After all, Gai-sensei promised that it would be very fun. Plus, they got to take a plane, which was always interesting, considering that Neji was secretly afraid of planes. She wouldn't have expected it, but it was so. He had almost puked on her last time they flew on one. Lee was naturally ecstatic about the things. But when Tenten realized where they were going she became a little wary.
"What are you thinking? Russia?" Gai-sensei grinned his shiny grin, undeterred by his student's concern.
"Of course, Tenten! We shall study the intricacies of the Cloud ninjas in Russia! Do not be alarmed, they are perfectly harmless!" Tenten felt the corner of her eye twitch. Neji had a bored and disinterested look on his face, but Lee was still ecstatic about the whole thing, of course.
When they boarded the plane at one of Hokkaido's airports, Tenten passed Neji some Dramamine when no one else was around. He refused of course, he was too prideful. But she slipped it in his soda when he wasn't looking and smiled. The in-flight movie was horrid and the pretzels were stale, but they finally arrived.
"And now, to enjoy Russia's finest tourist attractions!" Gai-sensei declared dramatically, gesturing behind him to a shabby looking building. Tenten was tired, but her eyes still managed to widen.
"Gai-sensei… isn't that a bar?" She asked. Her teacher grinned.
"Not just a bar, Tenten. It's also a quaint little inn!" Neji huffed to himself.
"We shall refresh our youthfulness here before beginning out studies tomorrow, right, Gai-sensei?" Lee declared loudly. Gai-sensei flashed another blinding grin before the both of them began posing in the middle of the street.
"Te liudi iavliaiutsia idiotami" Some woman was speaking disdainfully nearby to another woman, who replied with a "Dа". Not knowing if someone was talking about you was very annoying. So Neji and Tenten carried in the bags.
"Vam nuzhno komnata?" The man at the door asked them. Tenten shot Neji a look, but he shrugged. Lee had the Japanese-to-Russian dictionary in his pocket, and no one was about to interrupt him and Gai-sensei during their posing session.
"Uh… we need two rooms for the night." Tenten said, miming along with her speech, feeling quite stupid.
"Glupye inostrantsy." The man muttered as he smiled, leading them in and up a flight of stairs. It wasn't until after Tenten and Neji had dumped the bags that they found Lee had discovered the bar.
"Vodka is strong stuff." Lee hiccupped, surrounded by three Russian girls.
"Krasivyi inostrannyi malchik, Vy poliubite li imet seks so mnoi?"?" One of the girls asked seductively, leaning close to Lee and showing cleavage. Neji blanched visibly and Tenten turned to him, puzzled.
"Why is Lee… I'm better looking than him, aren't I?" Neji was positively aghast. Tenten smiled a little, patting her teammate on the shoulder.
"Of course, Neji."
