Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Author's Note: Wondering why I haven't updated lately? You're probably not wondering... Anyways, I was hoping for more than two reviews but I guess that's better than none.I'm putting this story on hiatus for a while. The first reason is that I've lost my muse and it'll take a while to get it back. The second reason is that I'm moving and need to get things organized so expect an update in early July. I would like to get about five or more reviews for this chapter. Okay so here's the deal: Five or more reviews and I'll update. Enjoy the chapter for now.
Important Notice: I have made a mistake in the chapter arrangement. This is chapter 15 not 14. The update (otherwise known as correction) is chapter 14: Meet Your Sensei. Sorry for the inconvenience. Feel free to berate me on the behalf on my stupidity in a review.
Warning: Slightly perverse situations.
The dinner hall was fairly empty by the time Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji got there. Their sensei thought keeping them late was a great idea. It didn't turn out so great when Chouji and Naruto got so hungry that they started to attack their sensei. Kurenai was lucky to remain unharmed. The shinobi were finally dispatched to dinner.
"Yeah," Naruto cheered, "Time to eat!"
The young ninjas grumbled and settled themselves at a large table. The girls were at one end, gossiping while the boys ate in silence at the other end. Kiba and Akamaru were straining to hear the girls talk.
"So," Ino asked, "How was your team?"
"Oh," Sakura groaned, "I screwed up so badly on our first exercise. Sasuke was the only one who didn't mess up."
"Oh, that stinks," Ino winced slightly.
Unfortunately for them, Kiba had only heard the words 'I screwed' and 'Sasuke' from Sakura's monologue. He gasped dramatically and pointed a finger at Naruto and Sasuke.
"Oh my god," Kiba yelled, "Sakura and Sasuke did it!"
"Did what?" asked a very confused Chouji.
"Sasuke and Sakura had S-E-X with each other," yelled Kiba.
A gasp could be heard from the doorway. The occupants of the table turned to see Lee, Tenten and Neji standing at the door. Tenten had a mixed look of disgust, disbelief and 'I-am-definitely-blackmailing-Uchiha'. Lee was looking happy and shocked at the same time. Neji was smirking at the Uchiha heir.
"Tell me I didn't hear what I thought I heard," Tenten gasped.
"You didn't," Sasuke deadpanned, still blushing a little from Kiba's 'announcement'.
"Yeah, Tenten-chan," Sakura, who had finally gathered her wits, pleaded, "Listen to him. Kiba was eavesdropping," she shot Kiba a dirty look, "On my conversation with Ino. He only got parts of our conversation. What I actually said was 'I screwed up so badly on our first exercise. Sasuke was the only one who didn't mess up'."
"Oh," Tenten looked slightly crestfallen to learn that her blackmail material was gone, "Well it's good to know that you're all still virgins."
"Eh," Sasuke blushed (queue fan girls), "Yeah, let's go with that…"
"Ah," Naruto gasped, "You haven't already done it, have you?"
"No, no," Sasuke was now pretty flustered, "I just don't know what that word means, okay?"
Everyone looked at him for a full moment then burst out laughing. Naruto and Kiba were howling with laughter. Ino and Sakura were giggling loudly. Hinata giggled slightly as well. Shikamaru and Chouji both were chuckling. Neji and Shino snickered, somewhat. Tenten was laughing so hard that she was almost in tears. Lee flashed Sasuke a big grin. Sasuke looked a bit miffed.
"You're what," Tenten said after she had calmed down somewhat, "Fourteen already? Don't tell me you haven't been given the talk."
"Hmph," Sasuke glared at her angrily.
"Anyways," Ino continued after Tenten, "Being a virgin means that you haven't had sex yet. You should already know this."
"Let's d-drop the subject," Hinata timidly suggested, "I t-think w-we s-should l-leave Sasuke-san alone. He d-doesn't look p-pleased."
"Okay," Naruto said, turning to Sasuke, "I'll do this as a favour for Hinata. You should thank her Sasuke."
"Hn," Sasuke replied.
"So what did your sensei do, Tenten-chan?" Ino asked.
"Make us run around campus a few hundred times," Tenten replied nonchalantly, "He's going to be gone for the next two weeks though."
"Cool," Ino and Sakura chirped, "It's like a two week vacation. You're so lucky. What are you going to do? Shopping? Tanning? Relaxing?"
"Training," Tenten smiled brightly.
"What?" Ino and Sakura looked at the older girl in surprise.
"I'm going to practice my taijutsu," Tenten continued, "And Lee's going to help me. I was wondering if Kurenai-sensei will help me brush up my genjutsu and if Kakashi-sensei will help me with my ninjutsu."
"Well," Ino said, once she recovered from her initial shock, "Seems that you've had everything all planned out."
"You'll be, like, touring with our squads," said Sakura, 'That's so cool."
"Yeah," Tenten agreed.
Unbeknownst, to the girls, the boys were having their own discussion about what Tenten had said. The Uchiha boy was oddly smirking broadly. Neji raised an eyebrow at Sasuke causing Sasuke's smirk to broaden.
"What the hell, Uchiha," Neji asked, irritated.
"Your girlfriend's one of a kind," Sasuke noted.
"She not my girlfriend," Neji replied calmly.
"Then how do you explain the time when you were on top of her," Kiba insisted.
"You pushed me on top of her, you idiot," Neji retorted.
"Oh, right," Kiba remembered, blushing from embarrassment.
"Maybe we should talk about why you were f-Akamaru barks-ing that pink haired girl," Neji pointed out.
"We already denied it," Sasuke said, "Kiba was the one who misheard the statement."
"Hey," Kiba defended, "Why is everything blamed on me?"
"You're in denial," Neji smirked, "You said so yourself."
Damn, he's right. I did say that we denied it, thought Sasuke.
"Hmph," Sasuke grunted.
"Back to the topic," Naruto pointed out, "Tenten's obsession with training."
"It's not weird," Shikamaru told them, "She just wants to get stronger…so troublesome. She doesn't like being over-powered by the male population…hmm."
"But look at the other girls," Kiba countered, "They are all so happy with shopping, makeup and all that crap."
"I don't see anything wrong with training," Sasuke noted.
"Neither do I," Neji agreed.
"I want to get stronger," Naruto said, "I'm going to be a legendary ninja, believe it!"
"The point is," Shikamaru continued his analysis, "You three are male and she's female. We have to look at this differently."
"Eh?" asked Naruto and Kiba, clearly confused.
"Never mind," Shikamaru sighed, "So troublesome…"
"Maybe she's a tomboy," Chouji suggested.
"That'll be the most probable case," Shikamaru nodded, "Next would be that she was a very strong feminist…this is so troublesome."
"Why are we talking about Tenten?" asked Lee.
"I don't know," said Chouji and the rest of the boys shrugged, "Asked whoever brought it up."
"That'd be Uchiha," Neji pointed helpfully.
The young boy shrugged, "I just wanted to see Neji's reaction when I said Tenten was his girlfriend. Indifference was not the reaction I thought I'd get, though."
"What'd you expect?" Neji asked arrogantly.
Before Sasuke had a chance to retort, the cook at the dinner hall called to them, "It's time to get back to the dorms. We're closing soon."
The teenagers cleared their trays and shuffled out the door. It had been a long day and they were all eager to see their beds again. Tomorrow was going a tiring day for most of the trudging students.
Author's Note: So much for superior dog-hearing, Kiba proved it otherwise. Okay, did you guys like the attempt at hinting SasuSaku and NejiTen? I know I did a bad job on the hints and what-nots. I'm just too tired to edit right now... maybe later. Hm, this was kinda a plotless chapter. I used this to explore the relationship between Sakura and Sasuke. It was also used to see the guys point of view on the girls (I think I'll do another chapter centering another kunoichi since this was sort of Tenten-centric). I would also like to know what you guys thought about how I made Sasuke a bit naïve. So yeah... Uh, reviews please!
