Chapter 7:

"We have some new students!" Iruka-sensei said smiling.

Tenten wondered how he could be so happy after all that had happened. Tenten had been let out yesterday. After 3 days of being in a bed, Tenten felt restless.

"Come in." He said and three people came in.

First was a guy with silver-ish blue-ish hair that was cut at about shoulder-length. His eyes were aqua and they seemed to pierce through everything. He smiled, showing off his razor-sharp teeth as he said,

"My name is Hozuki Suigetsu." He said.

The other guy had orange hair that was spiked up and was unusually tall. He slowly said,

"My name is Jugo."

The last was a girl who wore small black glasses and had her red hair cut short on one side and long on the other side. She looked over the class and spotted Sasuke. She winked at him before saying,

"My name is Karin." She said smiling.

"Thank you, now take your seat." Iruka-sensei said. The three took their seat in the back.. Tenten looked at them to see Karin was sitting behind Sasuke. She was flirting with Sasuke. Tenten noticed Sakura was glaring at Karin with her deathly glare.

'Poor Sakura...' Tenten thought.

"Sasuke-kun, I don't get this." Karin said flirting.

Sasuke didn't seem to be listening and Suigetsu laughed. Karin glared at him. "I'll show you if you don't understand." He said, mocking her.

"I don't want you to tell me." Karin said. "I mean, only Sasuke-kun here could know." Karin said smiling at the back of Sasuke's head.

"Class dismissed!" Iruke-sensei said as the students filed out of the classroom. When they were out, Sakura walked straight toward Karin.

'This can't be good...' Tenten thought.

"Excuse me Karin-san." Sakura said and Karin turned around.

"What?" She asked.

"Stop messing with my boyfriend." Sakura said glaring at her.

"Oh, is he yours? That's a shocker." Karin said smirking.

"What!? You little--!" Sakura was stopped by Sasuke.

"That's enough Sakura." Sasuke said grabbing her head and pulling her back.

"Sa-Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said suprised.

"Sasuke-kun! She was being mean to me!" Karin said trying to get him to defend her.

Sasuke ignored her and told Sakura, "You need to lighten up a bit more. Don't you trust me?" He asked.

"Yes I do." Sakura said feeling guilty for getting jealous. On the other hand, Karin was fuming with anger while Suigetsu was laughing at Karin.

"Dude, you totally lost." He snickered.

"Shut up! She's the enemy anyway, this'll just get me fired up to fight her." Karin said smirking at Sakura.

"I'm finally back!" Tenten exclaimed as she entered her building. She had missed not being there so much.

"Hello Tenten-san! I see you're energetic, which is a very good thing indeed!" Lee smiled his trademark smile.

"Hi Lee!" Tenten said smiling.

"Guess what?" Lee asked.

"What?" Tenten asked getting curious.

"I have a girlfriend!" Lee shouted happily.

"Oh my gosh!? Who!?" Tenten could harldy believe it.

"Her name is Namine." Lee said looking as happy as ever. (My second OC of all time XD)

"I'm happy for you!" Tenten said. "What is she like?"

"Well...she's pretty,smart, nice, and perfect!" Lee said.

'...He's lovestruck...' Tenten thought sweat-dropping.

"...is there something wrong?" Lee asked.

"Oh, nothing! Just seems like you really like her that's all." Tenten said.

"Yes! I love her!" Lee said. "I promised her I would be the best boy-friend ever!" Lee said.

"Um...good luck with that."

"...I'm back." Neji entered. He looked up and his eyes met Tenten.

"...I need to go see Namine so bye!" Lee said. Before he left, he winked at Tenten. Neji noticed as well and sighed.

"...Lee..." He murmered as soon as he left.

"...Neji..." Tenten began.

"It's alright, I know." Neji said.

"Oh..." Tenten paused not sure what to say.

'I think I should say something...' She thought.

'I should probably say something...' He thought. 'I should tell her that she doesn't have to keep 'that' promise...' He took a deep breath knowing this could be the end and said,

"It's..."

"I...I promised you something important...so...I'll promise you this time, that I'll fufill the promise I forgot..." Tenten interrupted Neji. Neji was suprised at Tenten's outburst. "...unless of course...you don't want me to..." Tenten said.

"No." Neji interrupted her this time. "I would love it if you fufilled the promise." He said. He paused a little before adding, "I'll do my part too." Tenten's eyes filled with tears of happiness.

"Neji!" Tenten said as she was encircled by Neji's arms. She grabbed onto him, not wanting to let go. "I...promise..."

"I promise too." He whispered into her ear and he hugged her tighter.

"Too bad that Sakura girl wasn't the one we're after." Karin said as she sat down on a chair in their building.

"Killing her wouldn't make Sasuke like you Karin." Suigetsu said. Karin glared at him.

"The only reason he won't choose me is because he feels that he needs to portect that Sakura girl. If she's dead, he'll come to me." Karin said.

"You seem confident." Jugo said.

"Of course I am! No one can resist my drop-dead looks." Karin said flipping her hair. Suigetsu laughed. Karin glared at him and started a fight that could last for centuries if Jugo wasn't there.

Most of the fights consisted of Karin screaming at Suigetsu while he calmly replied with a smart comeback.

"...You two, do you even know who we're after?" Jugo asked.

"I do!" Suigetsu and Karin said.

"Then who is she?" Jugo asked.

"She's the cutie with the brown buns." Suigetsu said.

"You like her?" Karin asked.

"No, but she's a lot hotter than you'll ever be." Suigetsu said grinning.

"You son of a bitch!" Karin tried to hit Suigetsu but Jugo stopped her.

"Oh yeah, you know the Kisame guy? The former Akatsuki?" Suigetsu asked.

"You mean the guy who was in the 'Shinobi Katana Shichininshu'?" Karin asked.

"Yup, well actually, from that group, Zabuza is working here as a teacher, Raiga is somewhere else. But Kisame was a former Akatsuki and I talked to him recently." Suigetsu said. "He asked me to join the Akatsuki." Suigetsu said.

"If Sasuke is joining I want to!" Karin said.

"They're taking 12 instead of 10 this year because the school was getting bigger or something, and group 2, where the others are has all the top-ranking students." Suigetsu paused to think. "Sakura will probably make it in. She's the smartest girl afterall." Karin growled at this.

"Whatever, I've got free time, after we catch that girl, I want to get Sasuke so nobody stop me. Got it?" Karin asked the two guys.

Suigetsu was about to say something but Jugo shut him up. "Whatever, as long as it doesn't interfere with the mission." Jugo said.

"Oh don't worry, it won't." Karin said and smriked.

Sorry it took so long but I was having major writers block with the Neji and Tenten scene.

Guess what? When I searched anti-nejiten nothing came up on photobucket!!!

Tobi has 49 stars peoplez! Keep going!
