-1This…SHOULD BE…the last chapter. I think. You never know when my brain might start working again…on this story that is…
Disclaimer: I hold no possession in Naruto.
Well, here's the story with both Nejiten, AND SasuSaku.
A Dazed Conversation
Chapter Er…Whatever chapter this is…
Tenten struck once. Then again. Then again.
She reached into her back pocket, searching for kunais to chuck at the target once again…only to find it empty.
She grumbled. She was not having a good day. So this was the worst time to have her kunais run out on her like this. Her throwing stars as well. Shuriken, and all.
She saw a small rock, in her eyes, just begging to be kicked. And that was exactly what she did. She kicked it. It was actually a rock, hidden under the ground. It moved alright. She hurt her toe for it. The rock flew somewhere into the bushes, and just so happened to land on someone else's toe.
"OW!" They screamed. Tenten looked up from retrieving her weapons.
"What the…"
"THAT'S IT. WHO THE HELL KICKED THAT ROCK AT ME! YOU BETTER GET OUT HERE IF YOU WANNA LIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY!" An utterly familiar pink haired kunoichi from Team 7 came out. Not that they weren't friendly with each other.
Haruno Sakura came out holding her bulging toe, hopping on one leg.
Tenten raised an eyebrow, then, she realized what she had done.
"TENTEN! DO YOU KNOW WHO KICKED THAT ROCK AT ME!" Sakura did not seem happy.
"Uh…um…"
Sakura's breaths were scaring her.
"I uh…I…" Finally, she took a deep breath. What a great day. "I'm sorry. I kicked it." Tenten took a deep breath, with a sad, exhausted face.
"You kicked it? Why?" Sakura set her toe down.
"I'm just…having a bad day. That's it. Having a bad day."
"Oh? What happened?" Sakura went over and sat down against a tree, then Tenten sat down beside her.
"Lee and Gai are on a mission together. And Neji is on a mission with Sasuke. I just got back from doing a dumb easy mission, leaving all the fun to them…"
Sakura winced.
"Oh. So that's where Sasuke-kun went?" Tenten winced.
"What?"
"I was looking for Sasuke. I couldn't find him though. I asked people, they didn't know."
"Yeah. Neji is with Sasuke on a mission. Naruto would have been included, but he was with you and Kiba on another mission." Sakura nodded.
"We just got back a couple minutes ago. I came looking for Sasuke."
"Why?"
"Why? I don't know…I just…always have this feeling that he's…gone. I don't know. Hurt or something." Sakura's face fell. Tenten smiled sympathetically, and put her hand on her shoulder.
"You must really care about him, don't you?"
"Doesn't everybody? I mean, even you thought he was cute right?"
Tenten frowned.
"When I said he was cute, it was like referring to the little infant baby toddler cute. Not in you know…that cute. I just thought it was cute the way he was standing up to Neji. You guys being the rookies and all."
"Weren't you the rookies the year before us?"
"Of course. Even if Lee had some trouble, he still passed with grades above average. Mine were pretty good, and Neji's were perfect. We beat down every single challenging team that year. Every single one. I was considered one of the best kunoichis during that year or two. Then you came along." Tenten crossed her arms and smirked. "Oh. And your friend, Yamanaka Ino right?"
Sakura raised an eyebrow. 'Man, you are hanging around Neji too much…'
"Yeah. Ino pig."
Tenten laughed. "I think it's ironic how Chouji's the pig, but his name means butterfly. And how Ino means pig, but she's not a pig." Tenten smirked. "I'm not saying she's a butterfly either." she giggled.
Sakura laughed.
"Yeah, good point."
Unknown to the two girls, they were being watched.
When Tenten was at the beginning of the story…
Sasuke and Neji leapt back from Tsunade's office from reporting a success on the mission. They went to the training grounds, for a bit of training before deciding what to do next.
"Your opening move, Uchiha." Neji said, getting in position.
"Hmpf." Sasuke smirked, and released his arms from their crossed position. He started to form seals.
'Oh. That again…'
"Katon! Gokakyuu no jutsu!"
"Hn." Neji had already changed his position once he saw Sasuke's signs. "Hakkeshou Kaiten!" Whirl.
Training goes on for a while, and they find out that they had tied. As always.
Sasuke and Neji sat side by side against a tree, panting.
"So," Sasuke said, exhausted. "We tie again."
"We always," Neji was exhausted. "tie."
"Well…" Sasuke took a drink of water. "Now what?" He calmed down.
Neji took in a quick breath and took a sip of water as well.
"It's about time for lunch." he said.
"Hm…I saw a cooking ninja."
"Hn. And I thought you didn't notice."
"Not with that smell." Sasuke grinned. Neji smiled. He stood up.
"Let's go, then train again."
"Yeah…" Neji helped Sasuke up, since Sasuke was a bit weaker since he took some damage from Neji's Sixty Four Palm, but thankfully to his three-wheel Sharingan, he managed to escape before Neji went to One Hundred Twenty Eight Palm. Then Neji took damage from being tied to a tree with his Sofuushasen no Tachi, and barely escaping his Housenka no Jutsu. Even taking hits from a couple.
So, they decided to stop at the nearby river to wash off their wounds first, then continue one.
They leapt tree to tree, taking the long way to see who could last longer in the training for stamina.
"Naruto would win on this one."
"Agreed."
Suddenly, when they were near the river, they heard someone talking.
"Hey…did you…?"
"Yeah…"
Sasuke and Neji exchanged looks and nodded. They took a break and took a sharp turn, totally changing course. They stopped silently at a tree branch.
Their eyes widened.
"Sakura…!"
"Tenten…!"
Sasuke had a o.O face on when he saw Tenten and Sakura together. He was especially O.o when he saw Tenten. She was sitting exactly like Neji. Sasuke looked at Tenten, then Neji. Neji had his arms crossed, and was smirking. Sasuke gave an exasperated sigh, shaking his head.
"Hm…so, what has been going on, Sakura?" Tenten asked sweetly. Neji could just melt.
"Mm…not much. Training…all that jazz." Sakura smiled back. Sasuke could melt too. He didn't show it, but Neji knew it. Neji was the only one who could tell what Sasuke was thinking. And that, he was proud of.
"Oh. Well, how is Naruto?" Tenten asked, releasing her pose and putting the bottoms of her feet together, hands on feet then swinging around. Neji thought it was cute.
Sakura smiled. "The dobe? He's getting pretty strong. He and Sasuke-kun are getting along better, like brothers. But for some reason, Sasuke is never seen around anymore. I'm worried a bit…" Sakura made this innocent face that made Sasuke sink. Literally. Aw…how cute…Sakura was picking up Sasuke's obsession of calling Naruto a dobe!
"Hey." Neji held him up, not looking at him at all.
"Oh. I think I know where he is…or been."
Sakura looked up. "Really? Where?"
"Uh..Um…I'll tell you later."
"Oh. Okay…" Sakura leaned back on the palms of her hands. "Well, what about you?"
"Me what?"
"You and Neji."
"Me and Neji?"
"Yeah. And Lee."
"Um…Kinda like how you are with your team…if you get my flow." Tenten winked. Sakura giggled. "Who would of known…"
"Well, something's got to happen eventually. You just got hooked up earlier then I did. Our teams are quite comparable."
"Yup!" Sakura said cheerfully.
"What about Sasuke?" Tenten asked.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura blushed. "Um…well…"
"Oh…don't you love him, Sakura…!" Tenten teased. Sakura blushed.
"S-So what if I do? It's the same with you and Neji anyway!" Sakura countered. It was Tenten's turn to blush only slightly. She did a small, happy pout with her finger under her lip. Neji winced.
"So…what if I do?" She made a face as if challenging Sakura. She made a sneaky type of face, one eye larger then the other. (A/N: You get the idea.) "It's not like you don't love Sasuke."
Sasuke and Neji flinched in surprise, then exchanged looks, wincing.
"I guess there's not much after that, huh?" Sakura laughed nervously.
Tenten sighed and shook her head. "No. I guess not."
"But YOU can't have Sasuke-kun, got it?" Sakura put her hands on her hips.
Sasuke shook his head in despair. Sakura was back into her fan girl super crush mode.
Tenten slapped her forehead.
"Exactly WHY would I want that Uchiha?"
"You said he was cute! I heard you! 'Kawaii!' " Sakura mocked Tenten.
"Shut up. I meant it was cute like kiddy cute, standing up to someone older then him. Besides, him saying Neji was rude was wrong. He was the one who asked Gaara what his name was before he introduced himself."
"Yeah well Gaara is a goody to shoes."
Tenten scratched the back of her head nervously. "I guess so…" She leaned back against the tree, and looked up to the sky. Sakura did the same.
"Boys…are so dense." Sakura shook her head pity.
"They think we're so weak." Tenten sighed, and paused for a moment. "You can come out now, Neji, Sasuke." Then, both her and Sakura sat up and looked above them, as Tenten took two pebbles and chucked them at Neji and Sasuke, taking a square hit.
"Augh…" Neji and Sasuke held their foreheads. Tenten smirked, then took two kunais on the ground and chucked them at Neji and Sasuke.
Neji and Sasuke, being Neji and Sasuke, easily dodged them by shifting to the side, making Neji and Sasuke go into a position where they were bending down, back to back.
(Full Description: Neji and Sasuke are back to back with one knee on the ground and one knee up, one hand on the ground and one hand to the side or in the air or whatever.)
Their eyes were wide, then, they looked back at where the girls were simultaneously, not moving their heads but their eyes.
They were gone.
"Sasuke-kun."
"Neji."
The prodigies shrieked.
"Why are you eavesdropping on us?" Tenten asked, hands on her hips, leaning forward slightly.
"Sasuke-kun. What are you doing here?" Sakura inched forward as well.
Neji and Sasuke searched desperately for an answer.
'Oh…shit…' They thought. Then, being the geniuses they were, then gave each other a look back to back (Eyes only head no move.) and quickly snapped around taking advantage of the kunoichis and kissing them, right at the same time.
Sakura and Tenten gasped. Or, had a surprised look on their face. Their eyes widened.
Sasuke and Neji decided to stay for a while, until a small amount of time after they had replied, they'd make a break for it and leave.
Sakura and Tenten were to shocked to reply, yet. But Sasuke and Neji were strong, forcing them open. They had to admit, it was sweeter then expected.
Sakura and Tenten finally pulled up the courage to reply, kissing back with equal force.
'Damn…' Sasuke and Neji thought. 'Now it's really sweet.' And they continued until when they finally just decided they just had to leave (And no, it wasn't because they ran out of breath.) and leapt away, disappearing quickly, just as prodigies do. In a blink of an eye. Not even in fact.
Sakura and Tenten opened their eyes, only to find that they were gone. They winced at each other, then blushed, giggling. 'Maybe this wasn't such a bad day after all...after all those days of being sick...'
Tenten pointed.
"You too huh?"
Sakura nodded.
"Yup! Oh…it was sweet…"
"H-Hey! Don't talk like that!"
"He was just playing in my mouth…" Sakura teased. She didn't mind, but Tenten did. Tenten blushed.
Sakura grinned evilly.
"And I'm sure Neji did that too…" she said.
"W-Well…uh…"
"Tenten! You sound like Hinata now!"
"Hehe…" Tenten laughed sheepishly, scratching the back of her head.
"I hope he does that again…" Sakura exclaimed, blushing.
"Yeah…I wonder what this means?" Tenten thought.
Sasuke and Neji had meanwhile stopped by the river, like they were supposed to.
"H-Hey…this is…" Sasuke stared as he was in the water, washing his wounds off. Neji was crouched over the water.
"Hn. This is hot spring water. Natural, hot spring water." Neji and Sasuke exchanged looks, smirking.
"Haven't been able to relax for a long time by now…"
"Where do you think they went?"
"I don't kno-" Tenten paused. "Hey, do you hear something?"
Sakura paused. "Yeah." She stopped a branch.
"Someone's in the water."
"Correction. Some people are in the water." Tenten quoted. Sakura nodded.
"Let's go."
Sakura and Tenten leapt from tree to tree to arrive at a natural spring. They arrived at a tree branch, and looked behind the leaves. They immediately turned red.
"O-Oh my god…"
Ohohen: I've decided a special! This will NOT be the last chapter! This chapter will be continued in the next! My, aren't I brilliant? XD
I think I'll add some other chapters too. But there won't be much. Can't think at the moment anyway. REVIEW.
