The Sushi restaurant!

Konnichiwa Minna-san!

The very first thing I want to do in the Author's note is… Thank all those lovely and wonderful people out there who gave awesome reviews!

Here's to WeaponsMistress, kirei hana35, Lady Tatum, Merciless Ruby, SnowCharms, Mysterious Smiles and Purplewolfstar35 Who gave the awesome reviews! Banzai for you all!

Second, I want to say that I will try to finish this before the New Year, because I want to continue on my story: Tenten, Neji and co. in high school! I love that story! And the upcoming chapters! Hehe!

And oh my god! The underscore I put for Weapons (underscore inserted here) Mistress, is gone! Ah! Komedesai to WeaponsMistress!

I am so screwed. Please enjoy this fan fiction of mine while I sob in an emo corner.

Oh god. I am so late. Gah! It's already 30 minutes past twelve! Damned it! Ino is so going to kill me…

Tenten rushed from her house all the way to the busiest street in town and to the mall there, which, by the way, was so crowded, you might get suffocation, the best way to deal with it? Push through everybody. Either that or hold a gun up and shoot, after that say, 'Ok people! Let me through and nobody gets hurt'.

Tenten went with the less violent way, but heard some shooting in the distance.

"Excuse me… Sorry. Ouch! What was that for jerk! Argh! Hey! Don't put that gum on me! Excuse me!!!" She suffered through the entire journey.

She finally got out at a Sushi restaurant where they were supposed to meet.

"Tennie! You're late!" Ino put her perfectly manicured hands on her hips.

"Komedesai Ino… There was a freaking crowd there…" Tenten dusted her skirt.

"Well… wait. Wow. You are actually wearing a skirt without us forcing you to?!" Ino's blue eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hey! I'm not only wearing a skirt! See? I have a pair of jeans underneath." Tenten pointed out to Ino.

"Yeah… But you're still wearing a skirt!" Ino laughed.

"Ino… Stop laughing! Eh! Ano… Where are the others?" Tenten glanced around.

"Oh! They are inside already! Though Sakura's not here yet." Ino said.

"I see…" Tenten adjusted her sling bag that she hung around herself, and the green shirt with the words, 'Ready for anything' printed across it.

"Well. Come on i…" Ino got cut off by a cheery voice yelling from somewhere nearby.

"Ino! Tenten!" They saw a hand with bright pink fingernails sticking out of the crowd.

"Sakura!" They said in unison as they saw a girl with bubble-gum pink hair squeeze out of the crowd.

"Hey there! Sorry I was late! The stupid crowd slowed me down." She apologized.

"Same as Tenten here huh?" Ino glanced at Tenten.

"Really?" Sakura's face lit up.

"Yeah!" Tenten and Sakura high-fived as Ino's handphone rang to the tune of Bumble bee, a dance dance revolution song.

"Hello? Ino speaking! Hey Shika! Huh? They want to order now? Yeah. Sakura and Tenten are already here! Yup! Ok. I'll bring them in now. Tell the guys to hold on." Ino ended the call.

"Let's go in. Shika says that they are starting to grumble…" Ino sweat dropped.

"Oh! Ok! Let's go! I'm starting to get hungry myself…" Tenten said, walking in.

-In the restaurant-

I don't get it. I simply don't get it! They always manage to get the window seats!

"Hey Guys!" Sakura cheerfully greeted them.

"Hi Sakura, hey Tenten. You guys are so late! Dattebayo!" Naruto pouted.

"Hey! Komedesai! They was a huge crowd and well… You know…" Tenten said.

"Hn."

"Hey Neji."

"…"

Well that was very nice. Hmph. He's weird. One moment he's virtually acting nice over the internet chatroom, the next he's back to his cold, stoic ways!

Tenten rolled her eyes as she sat next to him. Sakura, of course sat next to Sasuke. (A/n: here's the seating arrangement! By the way. It is in a circular sofa. So… Tenten (window seat), Neji, Hinata, Naruto, Ino, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Sakura)

"Well, can we finally order? I just want to go home soon. This is just too troublesome…" Shikamaru closed his eyes and tilted his head up to face the ceiling.

"Yeah. We can order now since everybody is here…" Hinata said.

"Finally!" Naruto happily said.

"Hn. Dope." Sasuke said.

"Teme!" Naruto replied.

"Chill guys…" Sakura said.

"Ok. So what do you guys want?" Tenten asked, looking at the over-sized menu, as a waitress came over.

"I want Ramen!" Naruto said, going all hyper.

'"Naruto… This is a sushi restaurant. I seriously don't think there will be any r…" Ino sighed.

"What sort do you want?" Tenten asked, showing the ramen portion of the menu to him.

"Hmmm. I want pork ramen!" Naruto pointed to a picture of a bowl of noodles with pork, vegetable, fishcake and other ingredients as well as seasonings spread out all over. Ino kept quiet.

"Anybody else up for ramen?" Tenten asked.

"Me… I want pork ramen too…" Hinata glanced in Naruto's direction and blushed slightly.

The waitress took their orders.

"I'll have a Teppanyaki! And maybe take some sushi off the conveyer belt! What about you, Shika-kun?" Ino said.

"Sushi…" He lazily replied and stared at the soft fluffy clouds out of the window.

"I'll take sushi too!" Sakura smiled.

"Then I'll have sushi too…" Sasuke said.

"I'll take sushi and katsu ju too I guess… I don't like the rest." Tenten put the menu down. "What about you Neji?"

"Sushi." He replied.

"Alright. So 2 pork ramen, one Katsu Ju, one Teppanyaki, and as for the sushi, the cost is calculated by the colour of the plate." The waitress said. (A/n: Katsu ju is rice with chicken cutlet.)

"Ok." Sakura said as the waitress walked towards the kitchen to give the order.

While waiting, Sakura and Sasuke were chatting, and so were Hinata and Naruto. Ino was doing her make up while Shikamaru stared out of the window. Tenten listened to her ipod and Neji just waited, doing nothing. Tenten started to sing to herself softly, hoping none of the others would hear, but unfortunately, Neji did.

'Hn.' Neji ignored it.

Miageta yozora no hoshitachi no hikari
inishie no omoi negai ga jidai wo koe
iroaseru koto naku todoku
kirari hitomi ni utsuru dareka no sakebi
kaze ni omoi wo tsuki ni negai wo
chikara aru kagiri ikiteikunda kyou mo
bokura no omoi mo itsuka dareka no mune ni
hikari tsuzukeyou ano hoshi no you ni

'She's quite good… but she's singing an anime's song?' He thought after that. (A/n: How does he know it's an anime song?!)

hitotsu futatsu kane no ne wa hibiku kokoro no naka e to hiroku fukaku
monogatari no youna hoshi no shizuku sono naka ni hosoi senro wo kizuku
jikan to tomo ni jidai wa ugoku nagareru hoshi wa shizuka ni ugoku
me wo tojite mimi wo sumaseba good bye

'Good bye?' his eyebrows furrowed together.

"…ji…Neji! Snap out of you daze! We can eat now!" Naruto said.

"Aw right! Time to eat!" Tenten grinned as she took down her earphones.

The food was placed in front of them, and boy did it smell good. Sakura started to eye the conveyer belt eagerly. Neji, Sasuke and Shikamaru took their time to get the sushi of their choice. Ino, Tenten, Hinata and Naruto broke the chopsticks apart and said, "Itadakimasu!" before they poked their chopsticks into their food and took the first bite.

-Pause-

"OISHI!" Ino and Tenten practically melted.

"The Teppanyaki is delicious!" Ino chewed.

"It's like a little piece of heaven…" Tenten sighed. (A/n: Over reacting. Kekeke.)

Tenten took another piece of the Katsu and bit one end of it.

Neji raised an eyebrow. He leaned towards Tenten and bit the other side.

"Hyuuga Neji! Get your own!" Tenten said angrily as Neji ate her katsu.

"Nice…" He said, not noticing that the group was staring at the both of them.

"Damned you, Hyuuga Neji."

"Hn." He poked his chopsticks into her rice and ate some of it.

"Stop taking my food!" She blew her top.

"Greedy Pig."

"Grrr. Screw you Hyuuga Neji!"

The rest of the group stared at the arguing duo.

"Hn."

"You owe me for this!"

"Hn."

"Hmph!"

It turned out to be a really silent meal/ outing after that. Nobody uttered a word.

"Guys? Why did you all stop talking?" Tenten asked.

"…" Was their reply.

"Guys?"

"…"

"Hello! Earth to you guys?!"

"… God I can't stand this anymore! How can the both of you be so…so…? DENSE?!" Ino went berserk.

"Nani?" Tenten asked and looked at Ino blankly.

"Look at her Sakura! She doesn't even know her own feelings! It must be mechanic's fault! Causing her to be a tomboy and forgetting her own feelings! Yes!" Ino pointed at Tenten with her perfectly manicured fingers.

"I know Ino pig! Now would you shut up?! You are going to make us all deaf!" Sakura covered her ears.

"I don't get girls…" Shikamaru sighed.

"What the hell are you talking about, Ino?" Tenten asked.

Hinata whispered something into Tenten's ear as Ino continued to say something about tomboys, mechanics getting to her brain and girly stuff. Tenten nodded, nodded then asked.

"Do I really feel that way?"

Ino slapped her forehead with her palm. "That. Is. It. MANI-PEDI! NOW! GIRL TRAINING AND STUFF! Sorry Neji! I'm going to have to drag her away from you for today. Bye Shika-kun! Come now Tenten!" Ino waved good bye and dragged Tenten away by a rope she tied her up with.

"Nooooo! Save me!" Tenten cried as Ino shoved her way out of the mall and back to her house for 'girl training' and 'girl brain washed'.

"I pity Tenten-chan…" Hinata sighed.

-Later on in the night-

"God. That was a living nightmare… There's no way I ever wasn't to go through that again…" A tired Tenten sighed and shuffled her way home.

Once I get home I… Neji?!

There he was. On her doorstep, looking straight at her with gorgeous pale-lavender eyes.

-After word!-

Konnichiwa Minna-san!

Lately I have taken a liking to French, and music, so I am planning a new fan fiction! It involves Tenten, Neji, Sakura, Sasuke, Chouji, Ino, Shikamaru, and a whole lot of chaos! It's Alternate Universe of course, and I'm still planning, so it won't be put on yet! And I'll probably hold off some fan fictions too…

Anyway, Please Review! And I want to say a very big Merci and Arigato to all you nice people! Merci and Arigato once again!

Happy Early New Year, People!

-Rendez-vous! (See you!)

-Ja ne!
