Chapter Six:
Sunday…
The rest of the week had gone by with being ignored by everyone, and various pranks. The worst was when honey had been poured in the girl's hair; it had taken them a day to get it completely out.
The boy's still seemed to hate them, and the girl's still bounced back from every prank they had to endure. The pranks weren't that tough yet, but they knew it was going to get worse.
Now it was 'going to hell' day as they had dubbed it, or in other words 'moving in day'. All four of them had been assigned to the same house, and now they were driving towards their new residence.
"IT'S NOT A HOUSE! IT'S A MANSION!" Ino yelled looking at the huge house in front of her. She was right; it was an incredibly big house.
"Yeah, yeah," Sakura said, her nose was currently engrossed in a book.
"Sakura, get your nose out of your book and look at this place," Tenten said pulling the book from Sakura's hands. Sometimes it was annoying seeing Sakura reading so much.
"Oh…" Sakura said staring up at the house, her mouth was wide open.
"Well, we might as well go in," Hinata said laughing at her friends actions. She had forgotten for a second that they weren't really used to living in such big houses.
"Right…" Tenten said snapping out of gaping at the house they were going to live in for the rest of the school year.
They approached the front door, and Ino took her key out of her pocket. She unlocked the door and opened it and they all took a few steps inside. Once again the girls found themselves staring, this time inside of the mansion.
In front of them what looked to be about twenty people bustled around, carrying beds, paintings, couches, boxes, and other house necessities.
"Weren't we supposed to bring things, and unpack?" Sakura asked confused. Tenten had yet to give her book back.
"Um…I-I think s-so," Hinata said as confused as the rest of the girls were.
"I didn't see any cars parked outside besides ours," Ino said puzzled.
"What about the guys?" Tenten asked just then remembering that they were going to live with them.
"Finally figured it out," said a deep monotone voice from behind them. They heard the click of the door from behind them as it shut. Hinata, Sakura, and Ino spun around to face him, as Tenten gripped the kunai that had found itself in her hand harder. She knew that voice.
"I know what you mean. It took them long enough," said another voice from their left, or in Tenten's case right. Sakura spun to the sound of the voice.
"I thought that they were smarter," came a voice from the right, Hinata spun towards that one, as Ino kept an eye on the first voice.
"Come one what do you guys expect from losers," said a final voice from in front of Tenten. Tenten didn't even look at them, she knew who they were. Several shuriken had found their way into her other hand.
Hinata looked worriedly at Tenten, she could feel the deadly intent rolling off her friend. She activated her Byakugan silently, she knew Tenten was deadly but she might need some help if she chose to attack.
Sakura and Ino had seen Hinata's actions from the corners of their eyes, and they had also felt Tenten's blood lust. Tenten didn't have a bad temper, but when you set it off you were going to get it. They also got ready for a fight, they didn't know if they could take the guys on but they would sure as hell try.
"Are you angry?" said the voice in front of Tenten, it was Neji's voice.
Tenten was having a hard time controlling her emotions; she usually tried not to let her emotions control her as much as they were right now. It was proving to be a challenge right now, her anger and frustration towards the men surrounding her and her friends had been growing all week. Neji and his friends were supposedly the strongest in the school, like she was going to let that stop her.
"Yes," Tenten replied and sprung at him. He dodged her kunai, and moved forward to punch her. His fist made contact, but Tenten attacked again. Neji was surprised that she didn't throw the shuriken at him but stuck with the kunai in her right hand.
As soon as Naruto, Shikamaru, and Sasuke saw Tenten spring at Neji they had attacked the girls in front of them too. They were pissed as well; the girls hadn't given up yet even with the pranks at school. If the girls still kept coming to school next week, they were going to have to kick it up a notch.
They were surprised when the girls dodged all of their attacks. 'They weren't using all of their strength in the battles against the fan girls,' Shikamaru thought as Ino dodged a swift kick. The girls didn't attack but instead dodged every attack.
Neji was also having difficulty with Tenten. He could hit her and did it frequently but she kept on coming back. It was like she didn't even feel the pain he was causing her. She still wasn't using the shuriken which puzzled him even more.
Neji saw an opening as Tenten averted her eyes to her friend's battles. He moved and punched her hard in the stomach, but not before she unleashed the shuriken in her left hand. They didn't head for him as he had expected, but instead at his three friends.
Tenten fell to the ground, a smirk on her face even as blood dripped down the corners of her mouth. 'Damn, Hyuga hits hard,' Tenten thought as she looked at her friends. 'Perfect,'
Neji followed her eyes to she what she was so amused about. His eyes widen slightly. Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Naruto all had their hands raised as if they were going to strike the three girls in front of them. But there in each of their palms, was a slightly imbedded shuriken. Blood dripped down, but it didn't look like they had gone in that far.
Sasuke, Shikamaru, Naruto stared in shook for a few seconds, until they realized what had happened to them. Naruto cried out in pain, as Sasuke and Shikamaru pulled out their own shuriken before trying to pull out his.
"Tenten are you ok?" Sakura cried running over to her. She pushed Tenten down gently so she was lying on the ground. "Where did he hit you?"
"Stomach," Tenten croaked.
"Tenten," Hinata said running over, Ino at her heels.
"You did it again Tenten," Ino said sternly the same sad smile on her face.
"Sorry," Tenten croaked again.
"Stop talking," Sakura commanded as she pulled up Tenten's shirt. Hinata and her looked at the huge bruise that was forming in the middle of Tenten's stomach. She bit her top lip as she removed her big glasses. "Hinata, Ino could you hold her down for a second. Not that she is going to move or anything, but this could hurt. I think there are some fractured ribs,"
"Right," "Ok,"
Hinata pinned Tenten's arms while Ino pinned her legs. Tenten didn't move during Sakura's healings, normally that was, but sometimes she struggled a little when they hurt a lot. Out of the four, she could take Sakura's not quite mastered healings the best.
"Ok Ten, this is going to hurt a little bit. Bear with me a little bit so then we can kick these jerk's butts," Sakura said giving her friend a bright smile. She looked to her other two friends who nodded in understanding. Tenten got hurt the most out of all of them so this was a practiced procedure.
Sakura preformed some hand seals and her hands started to glow a soft pink as she applied them to the bruise on Tenten's stomach. Sweat started to form on her brow as she concentrated on healing everything.
Tenten closed her eyes and tried to breathe evenly. There was a searing pain going through her mid section, and she tried not to struggle against her friends suppressing hands.
Seconds passed and they seemed like hours to Tenten. Then when she thought she was going to die from the pain it stopped. She opened her eyes to see her three friend's happy faces.
"You ok?" Ino asked smiling. By the change in Tenten's face from pain to relief she guessed that Sakura's healing had worked.
"Yeah fine, although I think I am a little bit sore," Tenten said standing up with some help from Hinata. She twisted experimenting and winced as a small amount of pain rippled through her side.
"You should be, you had some ripped muscle and three fractured bones," Sakura said breathing heavily, and standing up leaning on Ino for support.
"Y-you shouldn't h-have done t-that," Hinata said looking at Tenten.
"Yeah but I didn't want you guys getting hurt," Tenten said smiling.
"We know, we know," Ino said laughing slightly. Sakura and Tenten started laughing as well, and Hinata giggled.
"I should probably heal those guy's hands," Sakura said as her smile turned into a frown.
"Probably," Ino said.
"S-should we? Th-th-they hurt Tenten though," Hinata said her face also turning grim.
"Sakura go and heal them. We have to live with them remember, and besides we don't want to be the mean ones here," Tenten said the smile still alit on her face.
"Right, Hinata will you help me?" Sakura said.
"S-sure," Hinata said quietly.
"Girls, where are the guys?" Ino said looking around. "Oh they are over there," she said pointing.
Sure enough the guys were all standing by a grand stair case, talking quietly and looking in their direction once and awhile.
As soon as the other three girls had rushed over to Tenten, Neji had left to stand a good distance away from them. Sasuke, Naruto, and Shikamaru followed him and they stood there talking and watching the girl's actions.
"You really hit her hard, didn't you Hyuga?" Sasuke said smirking at the white eyed boy as he tried to stop the blood flowing down his hand.
"Hn, she attacked first," Neji said and looked away. 'She did deserve it, she attacked me first,' he thought.
"Yeah, right," Naruto said smirking. He had his fist closed trying to stop the blood, but some drops still dripped off his hand.
"Did you see their reactions? It's like this has happened before," Shikamaru said watching as Sakura started to perform the hand seals. He ignored his hand completely.
"Probably. Dang that girl has good aim," Sasuke said looking at his injury closer. It was exactly in the middle of his hand. The shuriken had only gone in far enough to stop his actions but not to permanently injure anything.
"Yeah she does," Naruto said opening his fist and comparing his wound to that of his friends. They were almost exactly the same.
"Not to mention she threw them at the exact time that it would take to stop us from hitting her friends while battling Neji. And she completely left herself open," Shikamaru said.
"Hn," Neji said glaring at the four girls lying on the floor a little ways from him. He had seen the huge bruise that had been forming and the blood that had run down the girl's face. He had heard the description of her injuries from Sakura. And now he watched as she got up and winced as she tested out her injuries.
It surprised them all when the girls started to walk towards them. They had thought that the girls would probably never talk to them again after Neji hurt Tenten but here they came.
"Let me see your hand," Sakura demanded of Sasuke when she got there. Her hand was outstretched waiting to see his.
"Why?" Sasuke asked not fully trusting what she was going to do.
"I want to heal it jerk," Sakura said and grabbed his hand. She got a slight frown on her face as she examined his wound. Sasuke noticed that she wasn't wearing her glasses and again saw the amazing emerald eyes they hid. He looked and saw her glasses in Neji's cousin's hand.
With one hand she did a few hand seals and placed them over the wound, it healed without a scar. She moved onto Shikamaru and Naruto and did the same.
"Why did you do that?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah, like don't you hate us," Naruto asked scratching his chin in thought.
"Yes but I am going to be a medic and medic's heal wounds, therefore requiring me to heal yours. Besides, Tenten convinced me to," Sakura said walking back to stand with her friends.
"Tenten?" Neji said turning his full attention to the four girls standing in front of him.
"Yes Tenten. That is the name of the girl you injured, and that is the name of the girl that forgave you so fast," Sakura snapped at him.
Neji remained quiet and averted his gaze to Tenten. She looked so emotionless that it scared him. She always seemed to have some emotion on her face, and now that she didn't it scared him.
"Now that that is all settled can you show us our rooms? We kind of need to put our stuff away," Ino said glaring at the boys. She still hadn't forgiven them for hurting Tenten.
"Right. Upstairs to the right are four rooms all next to each other. Those are yours. Our four rooms are the ones to the left," Shikamaru said and Ino turned her glare onto him.
"T-thanks," Hinata said and pulled Sakura and Ino towards the door. They were still glaring at the guys and Tenten had already started to walk towards the door.
As soon as the girls were out the front door Sasuke turned to the other three. "Should we go help them?" he asked.
"Well I am," Naruto said as he started towards the front door. The friendship that the girls had showed made him look at the girls in a little different light.
"Might as well," Sasuke said following but at a much slower rate.
"Troublesome but one of them is injured," Shikamaru said and caught up with Sasuke.
"Hn," Neji said but followed as well.
Ino lifted a box out of the back of their truck that they had driven there and almost sagged under the weight. She was surprised when the weight was lifted out of her arms. She looked up to see Shikamaru standing there with the box in his arms.
"Hey what are you doing?" Ino said hotly.
"Helping you," he said and started walking towards the mansion.
"Wait, you don't even now which room is mine!" Ino shouted.
"Well hurry up so you can show me," Shikamaru shouted back.
"Coming!" Ino shouted as she grabbed a lighter box and jogged to catch up with him.
"Troublesome…" Shikamaru mumbled as he waited for Ino to catch up. He didn't know why he was exactly doing this but here he was doing it anyway.
"Thanks," Ino said as they walked up the stairs inside the house.
"Well pick a room already. This box isn't light you know," Shikamaru said.
Ino opened the door to the first room to find pink. Pink everywhere. Definitely Sakura's room. The next room was light blue, and it reminded her of Hinata so she passed it by. The third was different shades of purple. Ino squealed with joy as she ran in.
"Wow…" Ino said dropping the box to the ground.
The room was big and it had a king sized bed. Ino spun as she looked at all of the different things in her room, a desk with computer, a big screen tv, three couches, a vanity, and two doors that she supposed led to the bathroom and closet.
"Where do you want it?" Shikamaru's voice brought Ino back to the present.
"Anywhere," Ino said.
"Do you need any help?" Naruto asked as he picked up a box labeled 'Hinata'.
"S-sure," Hinata said and blushed. She also picked up a box and began to walk towards the house. Naruto caught up and flashed her a smile. She just blushed more and watched the ground.
"That was amazing," Naruto commented.
"W-what?" Hinata asked confused at what he was talking about.
"The way you guys work together, care for each other. I haven't seen that kind of bond before," Naruto said. "I just thought it was cool,"
"T-thanks," Hinata said.
Naruto started talking about all sorts of subjects and didn't seem to care if Hinata was listening or not.
Hinata chose the light blue room and placed her box on the bed. It was an exact replica of Ino's except slightly duller. Naruto placed the box he had been carrying next to hers.
"Hey, do you like ramen?" Naruto asked completely out of the blue.
Sakura groaned under the weight of two of her boxes. They were heavy and although she was the strongest out of the four she was tired from the healing she had done earlier.
"Here," Sasuke said appearing next to her and taking both of them from her arms.
"Thanks," Sakura said leaning against the truck and panting slightly. After a few seconds she got up picked up another box with her name on it and started walking towards the house.
A smile of happiness showed on her worn face as she entered the pink room. It was just her style. She placed her box on the floor and Sasuke did the same.
"What the heck do you have in those things?" Sasuke asked.
"Books," Sakura said.
"Books?"
"Yep, books. I like to read although there aren't any book shelves in here," Sakura said frowning when she didn't see any.
"I tell one of the workers, they will bring a few up," Sasuke said starting to walk towards the door. Sakura nodded and followed him out.
Tenten winced at the weight of the single box in her arms. She hadn't expected her injury to bother her this much.
"Dang," she muttered as she balanced the box in one arm and attempted to lift another box on top. Her face twisted in pain as she had to twist to reach it. A bandaged hand swiftly appeared and grabbed the box. Light foot steps could be heard as Neji walked away with the box in his hands.
"Hey wait," Tenten said walking as quickly as she could without causing further pain to catch up with him.
"Thanks," she said.
"Hn,"
Tenten sighed. She really couldn't get this guy to talk. They reached the last room available, an olive green.
Soon all of the girls had all of their boxes in their rooms thanks to the boys, and had finished unpacking. After the girls had looked around the mansion they found their way to the living room where the boys were sitting playing video games.
It was dinner time and the girl's stomach's started to rumble.
"Hey guys, what are we going to do for dinner," Ino asked.
"Hn," "Don't care," "Anything," "Ramen,"
"Ok well that was real informative. Girls, why don't we go make something?" Sakura asked looking at her three friends.
"Sure why not," Tenten said.
"I'll g-go start," Hinata said and started for the kitchen.
"Ok," Sakura said and followed Hinata to the kitchen.
"Coming," Ino said following Sakura to the kitchen.
The food was finished and Hinata sent Tenten to tell the guys it was ready.
"Do you guys want something to eat?" Tenten asked the boys who didn't even appear to hear her.
"Maybe later," Naruto said.
"Ok," Tenten said and left. The girls ate and the boys didn't appear. They didn't even stop playing when the girls went to bed.
"Man, I'm hungry," Naruto complained. He had just got his butt whopped.
"Me too," Shikamaru said and they all headed towards the kitchen.
There in the fridge was the food with a note on top.
You guys can heat this up whenever you are ready to eat. Don't forget that we have school in the morning.
Hinata, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten
"Wow, those girls are nice. I think they made this," Naruto said.
"Troublesome," Shikamaru said.
"Very," Sasuke replied.
"Hn," Neji said.
A/N: Ok I don't know about the kitchen scene. I think I might remove it. Anyway, what do you guys think? Please read and review!
