Vacation in Paradise
Chapter Fifteen
The Restaurant
Kiba woke up late the next day. He realized that he had slept through the morning. Kiba turned to Akamaru to find him still sleeping soundly.
"Finally Hatami, jeez, I thought you died or something," Kizumi said. A cat meowed at the group and lashed her tail.
Kiba looked from Hatami to Kizumi, not believing what he was seeing.
He turned toward Hatami and asked, "You have a twin?"
Hatami laughed, "I guess I forgot to tell you."
Kiba snorted. "Obviously." Akamaru and Takiya both barked.
"Well, this is my twin sister Kaetatsu Kizumi, and that's her cat Tokira," Hatami explained. Kizumi looked almost exactly like her sister, except her brown sash was wrapped around her waist and her hair was tied into one ponytail.
"Nice to meet you," Kizumi said, holding out her hand.
"Same here," Kiba said, shaking her hand. Tokira meowed at the group, leapt into Kizumi's arms, curled up and went to sleep.
"Well, it's getting late," Kiba said yawning, "I'd better go."
"Okay, be careful," Hatami said. She paused and then hugged Kiba.
"Thanks for finding Takiya," Hatami said.
"You're welcome," Kiba said, glad that it was dark enough to hide his blush.
"Well, you should be getting back now. It's pretty dark out already," Kizumi said.
"Alright," Kiba said. "Come on Akamaru, we're leaving." Akamaru barked and followed.
Kiba yawned and stretched. He jumped out of bed, dressed quickly, and ran down the stairs. He dashed into the kitchen, only to run into Hatami. She yelped and both of them tumbled to the floor. Takiya yipped at the two. Neji and Tenten walked into the kitchen and found the two sprawled on the floor.
Seeing them, Neji raised an eyebrow and made an inquiring noise. Tenten laughed.
"Guys, get a room, please," Tenten said, mockingly. Kiba glared at her and picked himself up. He then helped Hatami up from the floor.
"You okay?" Kiba asked, pointedly ignoring Tenten and Neji.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Hatami said, dusting off her dress.
"Finally up, huh Kiba?" Tenten asked.
"Yeah, whatever," Kiba said. He went to the fridge and pulled out some food. He quickly made a sandwich and poured a glass of orange juice for himself. Sitting down to eat, he asked Hatami why she had come.
"Well, I wanted to thank everyone for finding Takiya and Kizumi suggested that I treat you to dinner," Hatami explained. "So, I came here to invite everyone to a restaurant for dinner."
"I see," Kiba said, finishing off his sandwich. "Well, I guess we'd better go ask everyone, huh?"
"Sure," Hatami answered. Takiya yapped at Kiba.
"Huh? Oh, Akamaru's upstairs in my room," Kiba answered, kneeling down to pet the small dog. Takiya licked his hand and dashed off.
"Hey Tenten? Neji?" Kiba asked. "You're coming right?" They nodded. Kiba paused for a second before asking, "Where's Shino?"
"Outside," Neji said.
"Alright," Kiba answered.
"Let's go tell everyone," Hatami suggested. Kiba nodded and the two of them walked out of the cabin.
The two of them headed toward Naruto's cabin. On the way, they found Shino playing with some of his bugs.
"Hey Shino?" Kiba asked.
"What?" Shino asked.
"Hatami invited us to dinner at the village."
"So...?"
"Are you coming?"
"Sure."
"Okay, next Naruto's team and Hinata," Kiba said, pointing. Hatami nodded.
"HEY NARUTO!" Kiba yelled, banging on the door. The door opened and an unfortunate Sasuke got punched again.
"Ow," Sasuke said, rubbing his nose and glaring at Kiba. Kiba started laughing and Hatami giggled.
"Hatami invited us to dinner at the village, you coming?" Kiba asked. Sasuke shrugged.
"Is that a yes of a no?" Kiba asked. Sakura poked her head out of the door.
"What's going on?" she asked. She turned to find Sasuke rubbing his nose. "Sasuke? Not again…you okay?" she asked. Sasuke nodded, glared at Kiba again, and walked back into the cabin, still rubbing his nose.
"Hatami invited us to dinner, you coming?" Kiba asked.
"Of course," Sakura replied.
"Tell Naruto and Hinata, okay?" Kiba asked.
"Sure," Sakura said.
Kiba walked off with Hatami. Arriving at Shikamaru's cabin, Kiba asked and received yes's from all of them, and an especially loud one from Chouji.
"That's everyone, except the sensei's," Kiba told Hatami.
"Shouldn't we invite them too?" Hatami asked.
"The sensei's? They probably forgot we even existed," Kiba said.
"Forgot who existed?" Kurenai asked, suddenly appearing
"Oh, uh, hi Kurenai," Kiba said.
"Hmm, and who is this?" Kurenai asked.
"Hatami," Kiba answered.
"Hatami, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Why is she here?"
"We found her dog."
"Her dog?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
"So…"
"We forgot you existed, huh?
"Uh…"
"Well?"
"Did you?"
"Yeah."
Kiba sweatdropped. Hatami giggled.
"I wanted to thank everyone for finding me dog, so I invited everyone to dinner at the village," Hatami explained. "I wanted to know if you guys wanted to come too."
"Sure, I'll go tell the others," Kurenai said, disappearing.
"So, that's everyone," Kiba said.
"Great," Hatami said.
A few hours later, all the shinobi gathered at the middle of the clearing.
"Well then, let's go," Hatami said. The group headed out. The journey to the village took twice the amount of time due to an overenthusiastic Lee and Gai.
Hatami lead them to the same restaurant where they went to last time.
"Hey Midorii!" Hatami called to the storeowner.
"Hatami! Back again? And with so many friends," the owner, Midorii, said, hugging the girl. The owner was a strong looking woman and medium length black hair in a braid.
"Yup, I invited them over for dinner," Hatami said, returning the hug.
"Well then, I'd better get cooking. Have a seat everybody," Midorii said, waving at the empty chairs. The shinobi filed into the restaurant. The seventeen people sat at a round table near the corner of the shop. The shinobi chatted and waited for the food. After several minutes, Midorii came back out pushing a cart full of plates of delicious looking food.
"Oh wow," Kiba said, looking at the food.
"You've outdone yourself, Midorii," Hatami said, smiling.
Midorii grinned and placed plates of food in front of each person. "Enjoy your food," she said to each person as she placed his or her food down. After serving half the shinobi, she went back to get the rest of the food.
"Enjoy your fo--" Midorii paused as she placed Gai's food down. "Well…hello handsome."
Suddenly all the chatter died down. Three seats to Gai's left, Neji choking on his food. Beside him, Tenten was doing the same. Asuma had dropped his cigarette. Kiba had fallen out of his seat. Shino and Sasuke were twitching violently. And everyone else was staring with his or her mouths open, like fish.
"Well, hello beautiful," Gai said, striking his cool guy pose. Lee looked at the two of them adoringly.
"Wow! You're so cool!" Lee said, his eyes shining. Everyone else, however, had a different idea.
This time Ino, Sakura, Sasuke, and Shino all fell out of their seats to join Kiba. Neji and Tenten had both passed out. Hatami and Naruto were both laughing like maniacs. Kakashi had even dropped his book.
"And what might your name be?" Midorii asked, batting her eyelashes.
"Gai, Maito Gai, the green beast of Konoha!" Gai responded. "What about you gorgeous?"
This time, everyone else, except Lee, joined the others on the floor.
"Midorii," she answered. "And who are you, cutie?" Midorii asked Lee.
"I'm Lee!" he answered, excitedly.
"Aren't you adorable!" she said, pinching his cheeks.
After several minutes, almost everyone had managed to regain their composure. Tenten and Neji were both still out cold, with Sakura and Ino trying to wake them up. Hatami and Naruto were still slightly blue from their laughing fit. Shino and Sasuke were trying to get back their dignity. Kiba was trying to calm Hinata down. Shikamaru was trying to stop Chouji from freaking out. And everyone had bruises from falling on the floor.
"They're out cold," Sakura told Ino. Hatami walked over to join them.
"You can take them to the other room," Hatami suggested.
"Well, might as well make the best of it," Ino said with a mischievous voice.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Sakura asked.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Hatami asked, "Come on."
"This is gonna be good," Ino said, as the three of them bent down and picked up Neji and Tenten and carried them to the other room.
As the night progressed, the remaining people ate their way through several delicious courses. Every time Midorii served Gai, the two would flirt, which included several bad pick up lines. And every time they did, the others would try desperately to maintain their self-control.
In the middle of dessert, the shinobi heard a scream.
"That s-sounded like Tenten," Hinata said.
"And she's mad," Shino said
"Ino, Sakura, Hatami, what did you three do?" Naruto asked.
The three looked at each other and laughed, stopping when they realized a disheveled Tenten was standing in front of them.
Tenten woke up first and tried to get up. Wondering where she was she realized that Neji was hugging her and she had been sleeping on his shoulder.
"Oh my god," Tenten said. She tried to get out of his hold, but failed. She sighed and rested her head on Neji's shoulder. After a few minutes, Neji woke up. He looked around, slightly dazed.
"Tenten?" Neji asked. Realizing the position they were in, he released her, blushing. But not before pausing for a few seconds. Though neither of them would admit it, they were enjoying it.
"What happened?" Tenten asked, slightly red.
"Last thing I remember was Midorii and Gai flirting," Neji replied.
"Please, don't remind me," Tenten said.
"Who did this?" Neji asked.
"I bet it was the others," Tenten said, eyes narrowing.
"Bastards," Neji said. He sat down and closed his eyes.
"They're dead," Tenten said. "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" she screamed and ran out the door, with several kunai in her hands.
"Tenten?" Neji asked. He looked around and sighed. He stood up and stumbled out of the room.
"Oh shit," Sakura said.
The three stood up, and ran for their lives, with Tenten on their tails. They chased each other around the room for quite a while. Tenten almost managed to catch them several times, but they escaped. Shino, Lee, and Naruto were able to catch Tenten while Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Kiba calmed the other three down. Tenten glared at them.
"What the hell was that for?" she asked.
"You know you liked it," Ino teased.
And at the moment, Neji chose to stumble out of the room. He glared at everyone. Tenten pointed to the three girls.
"Oh shit," Hatami said.
"Stay away from her," Kiba said.
"Oh, protective are we?" Neji said, glaring.
"Watch it, Hyuuga," Sasuke said.
"Shut up, Uchiha," Neji said, still glaring.
"Neji, calm down," Shikamaru said.
"Back off, Nara," Neji said, his glare intensifying.
"I'm severely disappointed," Tenten said, idly twirling a kunai.
"You both enjoyed it, though, didn't you?" Sakura asked. Neji and Tenten both turned pink, realizing that Sakura was right.
"Did it hurt, Midorii?" Gai asked.
"What do you mean?" Midorii asked.
"When you fell from heaven," Gai finished.
Tenten groaned and proceeded to bang her head against the wall. Neji twitched, before pulling Tenten away from the wall.
"I'm leaving," Tenten said, shuddering. All the ninja quickly agreed. Hatami paid Midorii and everyone except Midorii, Gai, and Lee raced out the door.
"Hey Hatami," Kiba said. "I'll walk you to your house."
"Sure, thanks," Hatami said. The two walked off toward Hatami's house.
"Awww," Sakura said, "They're so cute!"
"Let's follow them!" Ino suggested. Everyone agreed.
Kiba and Hatami arrived at her house a few minutes later.
"Uh, thanks Kiba," Hatami said, picking up Takiya.
"You're welcome," Kiba said. The two paused for a second. Kiba quickly kissed Hatami on the cheek and left, blushing.
"Awww," Ino and Sakura said.
"Shhh, he'll hear us," Naruto said.
"Yeah, be quiet," Kiba said.
"K-Kiba!" Sakura said, surprised.
"Hi, eavesdroppers," Kiba said, glaring.
All the ninja, hidden behind various trees, bushes, and other vegetation, laughed awkwardly. Kiba sighed.
"Come on, let's go home," Kiba said. Akamaru barked, happily.
