Alright guys this is my third story. And this is only part one of two or maybe three. So read and review!
Oh the holidays. The time of family, and joy. Where you try to get everyone together without any complications. For a typical family/friend relationship in Konoha that was simple, but were not just talking about any typical group of Konohians(1). Where talking about the Konoha 12 here. As we all know it's hard as hell to get everyone together, without Lady Tsunade yelling at you for accidentally ALMOST setting the Hokage tower on fire. Oh yes, just like any typical Christmas.
"Must we be the one's in charge of this every year TenTen?"
"Neji, all we have to do is set up the tables, plates, and stuff you know. Sakura actually has the real hard part."
"Hn, and what would that be?" Not believing for a second they could have a harder job then them.
"She has to bring most of the food, and provide decorations for Hinata, Kiba, and Shino to decorate this place. BUT the most hard part is watching over Naruto." Neji gave an angry frown, not a pout, but a frown. Tenten giggled. "Come on it wont be that bad will it. It'll be fun just you watch, you get to find out who your Santa was this year." The gang had a little tradition during the Christmas. They would play a game of secret Santa, they would also buy everyone else 1 gift too but the person they picked for secret Santa would get two gifts instead of one like everyone else.
"HOW YOUTHFUL! This game of we play every year is so..so..-" Lee interrupted
"Youthful?" Tenten offered.
"YES! Youthful! Oh Tenten this year I have bought the most amazing presents for everyone. How about you Neji, have you bought your secret santie anything? Hmm.." Neji sighed. Naruto wasn't a problem, Lee on the other hand is too spirited for Neji's liking. Don't get him wrong it's almost like lee is the brother Neji ever had, but sometimes it just got to much for the young prodigy to take.
"First, I believe santIE is not a word, and second I have. I am hoping they will like it. Naruto was not hard too shop for, neither was Sakura or Ino."
"Yes, Sakura is very jolly she will sure to love what ever it is you give her, But she will love mine even better! If not I will run 500 laps on my knees around Konoha, and if I can not do that I will do 1,000 pushups, and if-"
"Lee that won't be necessary I'm sure Sakura will love everyone's equally." Tenten put in before Lee could have a chance to say things, that he'll remember, and end up in the hospital for overworking himself again. "Let's hurry with setting up Hinata, and them will be here soon."
Twenty minutes later Hinata, Kiba, and Shino walked in.
"H-Hello Tenten-Chan, Lee-Kun, Neji-Kun."
"Hello Lady Hinata." Neji replied to her hello respectably. Hinata blushed at the formal way she was greeted with, other then that she got her friendly hello from Lee, and her hug from Tenten.
Kiba gave a toothy grin before saying "Alright! Let's get this over with so we can partaay and have some grub, 'cause Akamaru over here is hun-gray."
"Yes, we'll leave it to you. You guys got one hour 'till six! No pressure." Tenten ran out with Neji, and Lee in tow. They had one hour to kill. They didn't know what to do. They had bought all of their Christmas gifts already, so their wasn't much. In the end they cam to a decision (Lee's whining) they decided to walk around the market.
Tenten could not stop a blush from appearing on her face when Neji's hand gently, and quickly brushed against hers. 'Have I really fallen that hard for him that I blush whenever our hands just briefly touch…but his hands were so warm, and smooth." she thought. Little did she know that Neji the usually cold hearted man, was thinking the almost exact thing as her. When their was forty five minutes until the party , the team decided to go to their own homes to get ready for the party at Sakura's place.
Tenten again heard a knock on the door. She hurried and slipped on her red silky dress that came down to midthigh. Usually she wouldn't wear anything like this, but Ino had suggested it so she can impress a certain someone. As she quickly ran to the door, she remembered that Neji had said he would come to pick her up. So they were going to be alone. No Lee. Wait. What was she thinking. Her and Neji have been alone plenty of times before, but why did this time feel so different? Her cheeks turned so rosy when she thought about it. She answered the door, and there he was. Hair pulled neatly back, in black dress pants, and a button up shirt.
"Wow.. You look handsome." she swallowed the drool that was threatening to come out of her mouth just by looking at the, dare she think it, the.. The hot look Neji had. Fancier clothes suited him, made him look more appealing then usual.
"And you Tenten look beautiful yourself." he true smiled at her. "Are you ready to go." he asked her
"Yup I am let me just get my bag, and the bigger bag of presents." As Tenten went to go grave her things Neji waited patiently for her return feeling a little nervous about the alone time they are going to have. It's at least a 5 minute walk. It only seems like a short time, but it wasn't. It couldn't be that bad could it? Neji thought.
"Kay! I got it. Lets go." Tenten came back, and with that she, and Neji were on their way to the party.
Should I call them Konohians? Is that wrong, or is there another word for them? If there is please tell me. And thank you to all who reviewed. I appreciate it. So this is only part one of maybe two or three. I'm not sure yet. So again press the review button and do what you reviewers do.
