A/N: Yes, my dear reviewers… the poor Neji…
Averaye! How's it going? And no, it's not really a neji/tenten, yet sort of is. I'm not too good at romance, and I don't think I should ever be allowed to try.
Anyway. I don't quite like this chapter either. And I doubt you readerswould too. Bear with it till the next one. Hopefully you'd finally think it's actually funny.
Wedding Crashers
Chapter 2: Raucous Confrontations
"Oh that BITCH!"
"S-Sakura… cool down…" Naruto slowly inched behind Sasuke.
"Don't you DARE tell me to COOL DOWN." Sakura screamed into his face. Her eyes had dark rings around them, her hair was messed up, and she had… fangs? No, not really. But Naruto's imagination took him places.
"Eep!" Naruto ducked, missing a violent swipe from Sakura's monstrous claws. She stomped off toward their training area, where they were doomed to wait for several hours before their sensei decided to show up.
"Man…" Naruto stammered, "She's scarier than old hag Tsunade…"
Sasuke couldn't help agreeing.
The other teams were around, also walking toward their training grounds. "Sakura!" Lee called lovingly, "It's a beautiful morning and…AH!" Lee took one look at Sakura's haggard face and almost fainted. "Umn… and you woke up on the wrong side of the bed?"
"…There was no sleep to even wake up from…" She seethed through her teeth.
Lee took a cautious step back and jumped behind TenTen, who asked, "Hey Lee, have you seen Neji?"
"Nope," He said from behind her, "haven't seen him all morning."
"Must be that Rika girl yesterday." Kiba said, with Hinata and Shino following behind.
"RIKA! W-what? WHERE?" Sakura scanned the area with her pupil-less eyes, claws protruding.
Kiba stared, "Mmm… Anyway, I think the chick must have scared the crap outta Neji."
"Scared?" Ino entered the scene, "Puh-leeze. More like pissed the shit outta him." She waved at Sasuke. Shikamaru and Chouji were not far away behind her.
"Man… Chomp…Did you see his face yesterday? Chomp I swear he would have killed her if there weren't four trainers standing around." Chouji munched away on another snack.
"Hey, hey, isn't that him?" Naruto said with his eyes squinted into the distance.
Yep, it was Neji, and he was walking at a rather hasty pace.
"Neji! Where were you-" TenTen was saying when Neji rushed pass her and Lee, "Let's get going." He said. "We're late." His pace was comically fast.
"You mean you're late…" Shikamaru decided to point out.
"Whatever. Sensei's probably waiting." Neji hurried off, but not before…
"NEJI-KUN! I FOUND YOU!" Rika's high-pitched voice thundered in the twelve genins' ears.
Riku jumped in from no where and landed right on Neji. "Argh! Get off me!" He fought her off.
"Where were you this entire morning? I went all the way to your house cuz you were meant to show me around like you promised yesterday, but you weren't there, and I searched the entire village so I thought you were probably going for training, and I thought I saw you but you were walking so fast! And-"
Naruto pointed out, "Didn't you just say you went around the entire village? So I guess you really don't need anyone to show you around…" This earned a few sniggers from the others, a slightly relieved look from Neji, and a glare from Rika.
"Get your hands off him!" TenTen stormed toward her but was beaten by a frenetic Sakura, who appeared right in front of Rika – who was still on top of the struggling Neji.
Sakura reached out to pull Rika off him, with eyes flashing dangerously, and said, "Hey… your attitude yesterday was…"
Before Sakura's hand could touch Rika's shoulder, Rika's two bodyguards jumped up into the air and landed right between the two girls. The fat one was about to give Sakura a swift forward kick that may have broken a few ribs, if Naruto had not ran forward and taken the blow. He made sure the foot made contact with his arms, which were in a defensive position so as not to get them broken. But the blow was still hard, and Naruto was thrown to the side where he rolled till a stop.
"Naruto!" Sakura screamed.
The blonde bodyguard appeared in front of Naruto's crouched form, and said with a smile, "No one hurts the mistress."
"Whatever, wise guy." Naruto coughed from the ground, "Wait, are you even a guy? You sound so.."
"Shut up." The bodyguard pulled out a kunai, causing the other ninjas to gasp.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata cried softly.
The bodyguard was about to bring it down upon Naruto when a swift kick sent the weapon flying.
The bodyguard watched the kunai fall and lodge itself into the sandy ground, and turned back to see Sasuke looking passively at him. He smiled and gave a hard kick at Sasuke's head, which the latter easily blocked with one hand and countered with a sharp jab to the other's chest using his other hand. The jab was dodged by the bodyguard, who spun around and brought his hand down upon Sasuke's shoulder in a karate-shop manner. Sasuke went down along with the momentum and extended his leg out at the same time, swinging it so it went right across under the bodyguard, sending the blonde one crashing to the ground.
The Uchiha prodigy stood over him, face still emotionless, and made no move when the bodyguard got up and jumped back to Rika's side along with the other fat one.
"Yea!" Naruto jumped up and yelled, waving his fist, "Take that!"
"He can still stand after taking that kick I have him?" The fat bodyguard mumbled to his partner, "Do you know how much force there was in that blow? The whisker-boy just, jumped up like nothing had happened…"
The comment, however, didn't go unheard by those not meant to hear it. Naruto made a victory sign with his two fingers, "Hell yea. Don't think I can't take whatever you throw at me, fat-ass!"
The fat bodyguard turned red, "I'M NOT FAT!"
"Hmm… that sounds oddly familiar…" Shikamaru glanced at his round teammate, who was still munching away at his snack.
The blonde bodyguard, on the other hand, was staring at Sasuke with a sly smile on his face, "He took me down. Well, this is a first." He licked his lips, "I love a guy who can do that…"
The group of genins shrieked. Sasuke raised a brow.
"I knew it… you're not a guy!" Naruto yelled.
"I AM!" The bodyguard screamed back, then suddenly sounded rather happy, "But did you really think I wasn't?"
"Be quiet you two." Rika said, who was successfully pushed off by Neji with some help from TenTen. She stood between her two guards and announced, "These are my two bodyguards…"
"Queen of the understatements…" Kiba murmured from the back.
"SHUDDUP!" She screamed, then continued, "This one, "she pointed at the fat one, "Is Bouka. This one, is Mitsuka. They protect me wherever I go. (A/N: Really, who cares?)So none of you jealous witches can touch me. And they make sure no horrible perverted men can ever get their hands on me."
"Just who would wanna do that?" Naruto whispered to Sasuke, who shrugged and answered, "It's appalling enough in a ten meter radius from her…"
"He speaks!" Mitsuka purred from Rika's side. "His voice is sooooo sexy…"
The genins shrieked again. Sasuke raised a brow.
"Like I was saying, so I am always safe and no one can ever hurt me. So you jealous bitches just try coming to get me. You can never break me and Neji-kun apart. Marriage is inevitable!"
The genins shrieked once more. Neji slapped his forehead.
"WHAT?" TenTen screamed.
"I bet she doesn't even know what 'inevitable' means…" Shika murmured.
"What's 'inevitable'?" Naruto asked, eyes characteristically squinted.
Rika continued, "Yep, that's right. He's mine! No one else can have him, but me! I am, after all, richer, and prettier, and sexier than any of…" She glared at the bunch of genins… who were busy in their own individual conversations and chatter and not listening to her.
"Are you serious?" Ino reprimanded, "Hinata, how come you didn't say so when you thought you suspected something like this?"
"I-I didn't want to start any r-rumors… so I k-kept it to myself f-first…" The shy girl stuttered.
In his own group conversation, Kiba was laughing, "Oh man, poor Neji. He's in for some pure torture."
Lee had tears in his eyes, "I-I-I feel so sorry for my rival! This is the most horrific way he can go down! It is me who should beat him, not some annoying girl! This is unfair play!"
Rika, in the meantime, was starting to go very red, "SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! HOW CAN I MAKE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT MYSELF WITH YOU SELFISH IDIOTS TALKING?" she inhaled deeply and smoothened her hair back, the yelled again, "I'M LEAVING, JUST TO GET AWAY FROM YOU RAUCOUS LOT OF UNCOOL GANGSTERS TRYING TO RIP ME AND MY NEJI APART! Oh, and catch yah later, Neji-kun. Remember, you're showing me around." She gave a playful wave to the scowling Neji and walked off. The bodyguards followed behind, with Mitsuka giving an impassive Sasuke a flirty wink, causing the genins to shriek again.
As the Rika and her bodyguards were off in the distance, the ninjas stared at them, then at Neji, back at them, and then at Neji again.
"…so guys…" Naruto piped up, "What's 'raucous'?"
A/N: Ok. I hated it. The next chapter is a whole lot better.
