Move and Return Chapter 9: Mingling Around, and Meeting THEM, a naruto fanfic

Okay, now I finally update…

The noise started again as people began to mingle with each other. With nothing to do, Tenten sat down and began telling Temari about her village. She had hoped that, in this way, the others in the room would not come to talk to her. Especially not THEM...

However, her luck had perhaps ran out today, for soon enough a spiky-haired teen walked over. She knew who he was, the genius tactician. But what had he come for? He pecked her blonde friend on the cheek, or tried to anyway. Temari pushed him away, blushing furiously, and cried: "Don't! It's embarrassing, there are people here!" Shikamaru muttered a "Fine, mendoukuse." and sat down beside her.

Temari then introduced "Shika, this is Tenten from the Hid" At this, a gasp was heard. "T-Tenten? B-But she's dea-mph!" The blonde quickly muffled her boyfriend's voice with her hands. She laughed sheepishly, "Erm, We're sorry we keep doing that, it's just that there was once a girl we knew that died."

The weapon mistress tried not to look surprised. She had no idea she was thought to be dead. However a little voice in her head wondered for a wild moment whether there was another Tenten in Konoha whom she didn't know about. There was a possibility, but it was small. Still, she decided to try. "Really? What did she specialize in? Who were her teammates?" Grim lines appeared on Temari's face as she answered : "Weapons, like you." A shocked exclamation later, Tenten had cleaned off all traces of her earlier suspicion after hearing Temari's "Her teammates were Hyuuga Neji and Rock Lee. A bit freaky at first, but you get used to them." Shikamaru piped up (A/N: OOC, Shikamaru piping up, but there is no other word.): "Yeah, he is always going on about some troublesome youth thing, and it annoys everyone out."

Just then, THEY walked by. Temari beckoned them over. "Neji! Lee! Togi! Come here!" Tenten was talking to Shikamaru about battle tactics, while keeping her cover, when the last name caught her attention. That's my target, I'll have to be killing her, that traitor! flashed through her mind, the tiny voice speaking again.

The Hyuuga prodigy, the taijutsu master and the "traitor" walked towards them. Tenten panicked. She knew that inevitably she would have to encounter them, but she hadn't expected it to be so early in the proceedings.

"Neji, Lee, Togi, this is Tenten." Several shouts of surprise rose in the air, Lee's obviously the loudest. "WHAT? Tenten? No, it's impossible! Temari, you must be lying! Yet, what is this person doing here? I must be hallucinating, this cannot, be Tenten, no!" Everyone cracked up at this. Even Neji managed a smile.

Temari explained: "No, Lee, you are wrong. This is not the Tenten who is, or was, your teammate. This is another Tenten, and she is from the Mist, if you look carefully at her hitai-ate. Don't mistake her and her name for the Tenten of the past. And anyways..Forgive me, Tenten in Heaven, do not badmouth me to God for what I am about to say..She was not as beautiful as this Tenten is, nor was she as skilled or fun-going".

Okay, this is a bad place to end the story, but whatever. I've been wondering, do you guys like short chapters and frequent updates or long chapters and occasional updates (like, every 2/3 weeks)?

Now, I have a few jokes for you.

What brand of computer programs did Sasuke recommend Naruto use?

Which electric appliance company did Sasuke refuse to work for?

Answers: 1. Adobe (A dobe)

2. Hitachi (Hi Itachi)

On with it…

The white-eyed teen nodded to her and said: "Greetings." He looked different the last time she saw him, though it was about 6 years ago she had seen him, or actually anyone for that matter. And everyone had changed. (----) including her. Definitely, if not, why was it so that everyone failed to recognize her?
