Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Author's Note: This is going to be a slightly confusing chapter with some random, out-of-the-blue, unjustified actions. Pay that no heed. I just wanted this chapter to explain how the dorms looked like. Ooh, there's also some NaruHina action at the end of this chapter! Enjoy.
Warning: Slight OOCness might become apparent in this chapter and the following chapters.
"Well," drawled the less than enthusiastic teacher, "Here are your dorm rooms. Will the Chuunin please follow me, please."
Tenten, Lee and Neji followed the teacher up the staircase. It was a very nice staircase with polished oak railings and a plush red carpet on the steps, but that is beside the point. At the top of the staircase there were three, chestnut coloured, double doors- each with a room number on it. It was very much like a hotel.
"Okay," the teacher waved his hand lazily, "Pick a room and unpack. I have to go supervise the Genin."
He left the three students in the upstairs hallway. The three of them looked into each room to see which one they would like. Unfortunately, they all had their eyes set on the same room.
"Okay," Tenten told the others, "I'm getting the room on the far left, got it? It has a very nice view of the campus and that'll help me concentrate. Plus, it's really good feng shui."
She was about to walk into the room when Lee yelled, "NO! I'M GETTING THAT ROOM! IT IS FULL OF SPRINGTIME BEAUTY THAT WILL LIGHT MY FLAME OF YOUTH! YOSH!"
"Neither of you are getting that room," Neji stated plainly, "It's the perfect spot for me to meditate, so I will stay in that room."
"NEJI," accused Lee, "You are fighting for a room with a LADY. Be a GENTLEMAN and let Tenten-chan," Tenten twitched at Lee's familiarity (in terms of name), "Have that wonderful room of SPRINGTIME YOUTH!"
"In case you haven't noticed," Neji pointed out, "You were also fighting with Tenten-san over that room. You are being hypocritical."
"Exactly," Tenten called, sticking her head out of the said room, "So please be a gentleman and let a lady get this room. I'll see you guys later."
She slammed the door in their faces. This caused a crying Lee and a seething Neji. They swore to get revenge on Tenten as soon as school starts. OH, the fun they'll have…
"We, girls, are going to have the north end of the facility and you guys can have the south end," Ino declared, "And Hinata-chan is going to have a room all to herself because she was so nice to us."
Hinata blushed, "I-it's o-okay, s-s-someone e-else can have the p-p-private room."
"All in favour of giving Hinata the private room say "aye"," polled Sakura.
Ino, Sakura, Kiba, Naruto and Chouji called out simultaneously, "Aye."
Shikamaru, who thought this was too troublesome, just slouched against the wall and examined the ceiling. Shino barely ever talks and Sasuke is not really what you would call a gentleman. Anyways, the loud blond girl and the pink haired girl were giving him a headache.
"It's settled then," Ino cried cheerfully, "We'll see you guys later."
"All done," Tenten said to no one in particular.
She looked around the room. The walls were a jade colour so pale that it was almost white. It reminded Tenten of the purest spring water. There was a simple modern chandelier on the ceiling. There was an elegant desk on against the wall, equipped with a desk lamp and several drawers. There was a rather large and oversized bed with cherry red duvets in the room as well. It was surrounded by velvet drapes. This whole room had a Western charm to it. Except for the closet, that is. The closet had shoji doors and there was a small dresser inside the closet. The whole room was carpeted in a cream coloured rug. The bedside table had a very expensive looking lamp on it.
Tenten wandered into the bathroom. There were shell shaped lights along the walls. There was a golden framed mirror above the translucent green sink. The marble floor of the bathroom glinted in the dim light. Marble bathroom floor, what a weird concept. The bathtub was a pearly white colour. Everything looked untouched and extremely clean.
Tenten hurried out of her room to meet the Genin downstairs for their briefing by that obnoxiously impassive teacher.
"This is a HORRIBLE room," complained Ino.
The room she shared with Sakura only had two simple futons with white duvets. The wall was a plain scholar blue colour. There was a simple light bulb hanging from the ceiling. The wooden floor boards were a little creaky. There was a very small closet at the corner of the room. It was very inadequate for the amount of clothes Sakura and Ino brought with them. And they have to SHARE the small closet. This will not end up well.
Sakura nodded in silent agreement. She started unpacking her bags immediately and filling the closet with her personal supplies. Ino saw that Sakura got most of the closet and was very upset.
"HEY," screamed Ino, "You got more space than me."
"First come first serve, Ino-pig," Sakura replied tartly, "If you're unhappy about the inadequate closet space, complain to the school."
"Actually," Ino said, "I think I'll yank everything that belongs to you that's on the top self on to the ground so I can have that shelf, forehead-girl. Then I suggest we share the hangers for our dresses and etcetera."
"Why do you get the top shelf," Sakura asked indignantly.
"I'm taller," Ino replied.
They spent the next fifteen minutes sorting out their stuff. Sakura stowed their suitcases under their bed and went out to find Ino.
Hinata was trying to carry her empty suitcases up to Tenten's room because Tenten had offered her some space to store her luggage bags. On her way, she accidentally bumped into a blond haired boy. Hinata dropped her suitcases.
"I'm s-s-so s-sorry," Hinata stuttered an apology, "It's a-a-all m-my fault."
"Nah," the boy said sheepishly, "I wasn't looking where I was going. Sorry. You look like you could use some help. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, by the way."
"My n-name is Hyuuga Hinata," Hinata told him.
"That's a nice name," Naruto grinned, "Want some help carrying your suitcases?"
"Yes," Hinata accepted quietly, "Thank you."
Naruto grabbed two of the suitcases and proceeded to follow Hinata up the stairs. Hinata turned back to check on the grinning blond boy.
He's really cute. I think I like him.
Author's Note: What do you think? A bit awkward, ne? Yeah. I probably should brush up on my Japanese. If anyone know a good English>Japanese online translator, let me know! Leave a review, constructive flame or cookie (I prefer a cookie). I promise the following chapters will be better.
