Hello my friends! Welcome to the third chapter of 'Slam Dunk'! I just realized that basketball doesn't play the biggest part in this Story. Whoops, my bad, my bad. It's still going to be there though, don't worry, poppet.

Aoiro Kuma, thank you for the hilarious reviews! I nearly lost a mouthful of pop thanks to you! It was good pop too… (sob) Ohkay, I'm good now.

I'm kind of wondering if anyone aside from me goes and reads the fics written by their reviewers? Sometimes I feel weird about it for some reason. Maybe it's just me? I wonder if anyone actually reads this… on well, it's fun to write random notes anyways. XD

"Do you have a vat of disinfectant?"

"Uh, why Tenni?"

"Uhm, ew, your cousin touched me, I have to get rid of the germs."

Welcome to breakfast with the Hyuuga children, also known as hide with Hinata away from creepy white eyed brats flinging toast and food everywhere. I wish I was an adult right now, because they get to eat in a separate room and probably have some semblance of sanity. Sadly the many cousins of Hinata have none, not even an outward appearance. Basically they are all built on the image of Neji, looking perfectly like girls but have no brains and are actually boys. Is it Hyuuga custom for their children to cross-dress? Wait, no, I met Hinata's father this morning, and I though he was an incredibly ugly woman until I realized he was a man. It must just be the whole clan has to cross-dress, which is seriously disturbing.

Even more disturbing than the Stupid Five, and that's saying something.

I'm sitting at the head of the long wooden table that reminds me of something out of a Harry Potter movie beside Hinata and sadly Neji. Hanabi, Hinata's little sister and evil little daughter of the devil, is currently chucking burnt toast at Neji who is ignoring her and the pieces of toast bouncing off his incredibly thick skull.

Wait a second! He's starring at me?!

"What the hell are you looking at, girlie boy?" I asked sweetly. He jolted, as if not aware that I was sitting right in front of him.

"Your ugly face." He deadpanned, blocking a flying egg with his hand.

"Shut up, or I'll shove a Nevis up your ass." I threatened, waving my knife at him for dramatic effect.

"Tenten-chan, what is a Nevis?" asked Hanabi innocently, dropping the projectile, i.e., a piece of toast, she had been about to launch at Neji's head onto the floor.

"I have no clue, but it came up on spell check when I was writing death threats to Neji!" I chirped, picking up the piece of toast and finishing Hanabi's goal. Did you know that toast makes a sort of snap, crackle, pop sound when it hits something incredibly hollow? If you haven't realized, I'm referring to Neji's head at the moment. I found this incredibly hilarious until he chucked his sunny side up egg at me.

"This means war!" I screamed, jumping onto the table and pointing dramatically at Neji's still stoic face. "FOOD FIGHT!"

"Uh, if you haven't realized, there was already a food fight going on."

"Shut up, it has been unofficial, and now I have officalized it!"

"That's not a word."

"Your face!"

"Hn."

"Haha, that's not a word either, eat your own words, loser!" I laughed in my head, no, actually I laughed whist dumping a cup of milk over his beautiful hair. I really can't believe that my hair is shorter than his. I really should ask Hinata if it's like a Hyuuga law that they all must look like the opposite gender.

"You're annoying." I really don't know how Neji managed to say this through the swirling chaos of food and Hyuuga's covering him, but somehow he managed.

"I know, I could be described as blunt knife sticking painfully into your side." And then, deciding upon that that it was time for Hinata and I to take out leave, I grabbed her by the hand and dragged her out of the chaos, cackling madly all the way.

(Pandaopolis)

As we stood, panting, behind the recently slammed door in Hinata's bedroom, I noticed that there were three oddly shaped lumps on her bed. Upon closer inspection, they appeared to be three different pairs of knee socks, presumably to go with her uniform, and though one pair was black, the other two were stranger. One was coloured with neon rainbow stripes, while the other was a blinding lime green. For some reason I couldn't see Hinata ever wearing these… things.

"Hina-chan, could I borrow those for today?" I asked politely, pointing towards the brightly coloured articles of clothing lying on the bed. She shrugged and nodded and I grabbed one rainbow one and one green one with a word of thanks. We both slipped into our school uniforms, which I am glad we didn't wear to breakfast, by the way. Then I pulled on the borrowed socks. Hinata just looked at me and grinned, an old thing with Hinata, but oh well.

"Hey, we look like polar opposites, ne? You're uniform is nice and unwrinkled, while mine is rumpled and wrinkled from sleeping in it. And I love these socks, by the way. They remind me of Pippy Long Stockings." I gestured first to Hinata's dark blue socks, giving her the impression of being prim and proper, and then to my borrowed socks, mismatching and one slightly falling down. Hirata giggled, politely covering her mouth with her hand.

"Hinata-sama! It's time to depart!" Came the rough voice of the Hyuuga chaffer. Hinata hurried towards the door, but I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the window.

"This way's quicker!" I laughed and opened the window, "Besides, this is only the ground floor!" I lowered myself out the window and dropped to the ground, ignoring the fact that my skirt flared up. I landed gracefully and turned to help the uncertain Hinata out of the window.

When we were both on the ground I pulled her over to the white limo idling in the driveway. The chafferer bowed to Hirata as he opened the car door. As I climbed in I caught him eyeing my socks apprehensively. I grinned at him and jumped up into the car. With a plop I dropped my bag on the carpeted floor and sat on a plush seat. Damn the Hyuuga's are rich. I glanced around the space. Hinata sitting fiddling with her fingers, the chauffeur turning out into the road through a tinted window, and him.

"Seriously, are you a stalker?" I asked him blandly, ignoring Hinata's squeak of protest. Neji glared at me with what I now dub as the Hyuuga glare. I shook my head sadly, shaking a finger in his direction. He grunted and turned to look out of the window.

"Oh, hey, you have a bit of toast in your hair." I leaned over and pulled it out with my annoyingly long fingers. Sakura says they are 'elegant' but I just think they are stupid. Neji turned and glanced at me, eyes slightly widened in surprise. Then I realized how flipping close we were. Think fast Tenten, think fast.

I pulled away and grinned, holding out the piece of burnt bread between two fingers, trying desperately to suppress the blush rising to my cheeks. Wait, why am I blushing? I don't even like this kid, and I haven't had a crush on anyone since that kid I saw a few times when I first visited here to get the transfer papers in order. I leaned back into my seat, pressing my burning face against the cold window; ignoring Hinata's questions and the puzzled look that girly boy was sending me.

(Pandaopolis)

I was sitting on a swing set, waiting for my father to finish finalizing our transfer papers. My mother was standing across the playground, talking to a beautiful lady with long black hair and piecing eyes, I couldn't quite tell what colour. I had a red bucket in my left hand and a yellow spade in the other.

"What are you, a panda?" asked the boy sitting across from me. My younger and more foolish self looked at him and grinned.

"Yep! I'm a vicious panda!" I gave a small roar, which came out as more of a high pitched squeaked because of my small vocal chords. I dug my spade into the sand and dumped some in my bucket.

"Panda's aren't vicious, they only eat bamboo." He said, ruining my lovely statement in a few seconds. I stuck my tongue out at him. He replied by calling me childish.

"I am a child, and so are you." I explained in my high pitched toddler speak, pointing at him with my shovel. He glared at me then smiled, helping me dump more sand into his bucket with his hands.

"No, I'm a panda too." He laughed, packing the sand into the bucket.

"Then let's be panda's together!"

(Pandaopolis)

I jumped out of the car the minute it stopped, surprising the driver when the door almost hit him as he went to open it. Hinata and Neji exited more slowly, staring at me.

"Tenten-chan?! What, where, wha -?" Hinata called after me.

"I'll see you later in English, Hinata!" I called over my shoulder as I dashed away. I rounded a corner and dashed out of their sight.

"But…" Hinata trailed off, one arm extended in front of her. Neji shrugged. Then the light when on.

"Wait, did you just call her Tenten." Oh bravo Neji, you should win an award or something.

To be continued…

This isn't a very humorous chapter, I'm afraid. I promise to try more next time. By the way, the dicider this time around says Pandaopolis, as in PANDA and OPOLIS. Like a domian, city, area populated by many pandas, etc. My goal is to try and get at least up to chapter five done before school starts again. I need to lean determination! Uh, what is there to say…?

"Your face."

Yeah, Wicked Little Angel gave me that line. Thank you. My foot's asleep now because I sat on it… ouch…

Off to fix my foot,

Kugi – chan

PS: Love you all! Read and review!
