Thank you to my two reviewers
Thank you to my two reviewers. I really appreciate it. I still have faith that people still read my story and that they liked it. That's why I'm still writing. Well, typing, but you get the picture.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
I have nothing more to say. A miracle huh? Well, on with the chappy…
"Yeah. I'm living here with my cousin now. My parents didn't want me back home anymore. They said I was too much of a nuisance with my brother and sisters. It's good to see you Tenten."
Tenten pulled back from Katura. She smiled at her then said, "It's good to see you too. Well, come in you guys. Naruto and Hinata called and they said not to go anywhere because they were coming to do who knows what."
The girls walked into Tenten's living room, while she closed the door, and sat down on the couch. Tenten was on the left side, near the stairs; Ino was on the right side, near the door and window; and that left Katura sitting in between them.
"So, Tenten, how've you been? I haven't seen you in like forever." Said Katura.
"I'm doing great. Just the same old stuff. Training, fighting, kicking guy's asses. The usual." She replied with a grin.
"Same old Tenten. Picking fights with the guys…"
"Yup. So, when did you get here?"
"Oh… Um, I got here…two days ago. I've just been setting up, unpacking, resting, finding a place to stay. Sorry I didn't stop by before…"
"No no no. It's okay. You needed to do your things. We're still friends right? No need to apologize. Oops! Did you guys want something to drink? What about some tea?"
"Some tea sounds nice. Thank you Tenten." Said Ino.
"Okay! I'll be right back."
"Do you need any help?"
"No thanks. I got it Katura." shouted Tenten from the kitchen
Katura stood up from the couch and walked over to the window. The village amazed her because it was so small, but so friendly. Strangers just stopped to say hi to her when ever she came… Now that she thought about it, no one bothered to stop her except for, what was that guys name? Shikamaru was it? Well, no one talked to her except for him.
She thought about it some more. Tenten walked back into that room then. She put down the small little tray, which she had the tea and cups on, on the coffee table. She poured their tea and gave Ino a cup.
"Thanks." She murmured
Tenten poured Katura a cup. She was about to hand it to her, but saw that she was looking out a window.
Tenten walked up to where Katura was and stopped a few inches away…
"Katura?" she whispered
"What? I'm sorry Tenten. Did you say something?"
"Um, here's your tea."
"Oh. Thanks." She got the cup from Tenten
"Are you oka-"
"Tenten? May I use your restroom?"
"Yeah Ino. Go ahead."
"Thank you."
After Ino left, Tenten asked,
"My cousin likes some guy named Shikamaru huh?"
"What?"
"Yeah. A guy on her squad. He has brown hair and it's in a pony-tail. His name was Shikamaru right?"
"How did you know of Shikamaru? Ino never wanted you guys to meet because if you found out, you wou- wait! How do you know that she likes him?"
"Well, I met him coming here… He dropped by to say hi to her when he saw me… let's just say that he saw me being me. Anyway, when they were talking, I saw something in his eyes. It looked like affection or attraction… I don't know! It was something around those lines. So, does she like him or what?"
"Yeah. She does; BIG time. She's kind of giving up on him though. She says that she's starting to like this other guy on her squad. His name is Choji, but I don't know. She never really says much about it and, if she does, she would tell Sakura. She doesn't really talk to me much…"
"Oh… Okay then. Thanks! That's all I needed to find out." She smiled
"What are you planning to do…?" She asked nervously
"Oh nothing nothing. Don't worry about it." She replied with a huge grin.
'That pig better thank me for this later…'
The two sat back down on the couch and started talking. Ino joined them a few minutes later and got in the conversation with them as well. They talked for about ten minutes when there was a knock on the door.
"Coming!" Yelled Tenten
Tenten got up and opened the door.
Katura's POV:
I heard some voices and then the door close. Tenten came back into the room then with two people following her. A male and female. The male had Blonde hair that was spiked, and had an orange jump suit. His eyes were a baby blue color. He had three cat-like whiskers on each of his cheeks. The female had a dark blue-ish hair color. Her eyes were velvet and she was wearing a… Sunday dress? It was white and it had blue flowers on it. Her skin was really pale.
"Katura, this is Uzumaki, Naruto and Hyuga, Hinata. Naruto, Hinata, this is Ino's cousin, Katura."
"Hi Katura!" Naruto shouted
"Hi, Naruto…"
"H-Hi…Ka…tura…" said Hinata
"Hi, Hinata…"
'Why is she stuttering…?' she sweat dropped when she thought of it.
Ino's POV:
I turned to look at Katura when I saw Hinata and Naruto. I thought she would be happy to meet other people. She was so happy when she met Lee and Tenten when we were kids…
When I looked at her, I saw that she made a certain face… I guess I should've seen that coming what with Shikamaru and all. I wonder what got into her…
"Hi Katura!" Naruto shouted
'Annoying pest!'
"Hi, Naruto…"
'She sounded off…'
"H-Hi…Ka…tura…" said Hinata
'Same old Hinata huh?'
"Hi, Hinata…"
'Must not like her very much…'
'I have to hurry up and get her out of here. I know she hates this as much as I do. She still needs to get her place…'
"Um, Tenten? I have to go…"
Normal POV:
"Um, Tenten? I have to go…"
"Aww. You have to go Ino? Can't you at least stay? Katura and I haven't finished talking yet…" asked Tenten
"Sorry Tenten, but my cousin asked me to take her somewhere to see an apartment and we have to go. Like now. Look at the time Katura! We're going to be late!"
"Huh? Oh! I almost forgot! Thanks Ino. I really really really have to go Ten. I'll see you some other time. Nice meeting you Naruto, Hinata."
With that said, Ino and Katura stood, bowed, and ran out the door.
Tenten's POV:
"That was weird…" mumbled Naruto.
I turned and gave him a look. I didn't care that they were like that, I just didn't like it when people pointed it out. Katura's my only best friend that I ever had and people always try to take her away from me… I can't stand seeing that again. I grew up with her getting all the attention and she always tried to get me in the center with her. I loved that she did that for me, but when she wasn't here, I was just the laughing stalk of all of Konoha…
"So what did you guys want?"
"Why are you made Tenten? We didn't do anything."
"JUST SHUT UP NARUTO!!"
I ran to my bedroom and locked the door. I didn't feel like dealing with them. I fell, face flat, on my bed. I closed my eyes soon and fell asleep.
Hinata's POV:
"What now… Naruto-chan…?"
"I don't know… Does Tenten have a phone? We should probably let Neji know…"
"H-Hai… h-her ph-phone is b-by the counter…"
"Ok. Thanks."
'Why am I always like this?'
I went up to Tenten's room to check on her. Her door was locked so I knocked I didn't hear anything on the other side. I used my Byakugan and I saw Tenten asleep.
'I need to tell Naruto before he tells Neji that we're having trouble with her! Neji will get mad and won't calm down for me to tell him… I hope he didn't receive a call from Naruto yet…' she thought.
"Na…Naruto…"
She ran into Tenten's kitchen to find Naruto in her fridge stuffing his mouth.
'Oh Naruto. I was all worried about you getting through to Neji. You're such a…'
"BAKA!"
Naruto's POV
I saw the phone on Tenten's counter, but then my stomach growled. I don't blame it either. I haven't eaten anything in like, what? 1 hour?
(A/N: I don't know if Tenten's house is really that far from the Hyuga residence, but I'm leaving it like that whether you like it or not. ;P)
I walked over to the fridge and opened it.
'Oh Em Gee' I thought.
I had my mouth on the floor with my eyes popping out of my head while drooling. I didn't even notice it until I heard my stomach again… It was kind of embarrassing though. Thank god no one was here. This growl was louder than the last…
Anyway, I quickly re-covered and stuffed my mouth with the nearest dish I think it was egg with noodles or something like that. I didn't even see what it was. (A/N: I hope this isn't out of his character…) I grabbed a jello like substance (A/N: The jello like substance is flan. I'll explain what it is after the chapter…) and stuffed that into my mouth when I swallowed some of the other stuff.
I chewed when I suddenly heard,
"BAKA!"
I turn away from the fridge and look at the doorway. There was Hinata staring at me… Why was she staring at me…? Oh SHIT! NO WAY! I was suppose to call the other Hyuga wasn't I? I'm in trouble…
Meanwhile, with Katura and Ino (Normal POV):
"Thanks so very much Ino! I love you!"
Katura and Ino were walking to Ino's apartment. Katura glomped her cousin after saying that she loved her. Ino was embarrassed because they where in midde of Konoha and everyone was staring at them.
"G-Get away from me Katura!"
"But IIIIIInnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooo."
"UGH! Your impossible!"
"Ino? Katura? What is she doing to you Ino?" a deep, but familiar voice asked.
"Huh?" they said in union.
They both looked behind them, to where the voice was coming from…
"What are you doing here? What was your name again?" asked Katura.
"My name is Shikamaru! Get it straight!"
"Well excuse me! I'm-" she let go of Ino and walked up one step so that she was in front of Ino and closer to Shikamaru, "a person who decides to forget the little people and remember the bigger people like my friends. You're just some guy! Why are you even talking to us anyway? Want to hook up with Ino? You could just ask her when you're on a mission you know."
Both Shikamaru and Ino's face turned bright red. Ino turned to look at the ground just incase Shikamaru wanted to get eye contact with her. Katura smirked feeling the tension between the two.
"Well? You could ask her right now. It'll be romantic to do it in front of every-"
"S-Stop it Katura! It's not like that. I don't like him. I like Choji." Ino interrupted…
Shikamaru looked at Ino, Ino looked at Katura, while Katura looked at Shikamaru.
"I'm sorry Ino… We should go…." Said Katura with an apologetic voice…
"Yeah. Your room director (A/N: I didn't know how to call the person that sales or rents places to people.) should've called by now…"
Ino grabbed her cousin by the wrist and walked off without turning back to look at the sadden boy behind them. Katura, on the other hand, looked at him with a worried expression. When he finally looked at her, his eyes were hurt and sad… She mouthed a 'sorry' to him and he only nodded in response.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
When they got home, Ino went to her bedroom and locked her door…
Katura's POV:
I felt horrible for what I did… Ino hasn't said a thing to me on the way home. When I looked at Shikamaru, when Ino confessed, his eyes showed jealousy… I thought she still liked him though. I wouldn't have opened my mouth if I knew this was going to happen.
"Oh kami-sama, help me…" I whispered…
I went to the phone and checked the voice messages. I found one that was meant for me. The man, who left the message, said…
"I'm Mitzuki, Yuki. I'm calling to inform Hojite, Katura (A/N: I hope you like the last name. I didn't know what else to put…If you don't, I'll change it right away. Just let me know…) that her new house will be ready tomorrow at around noon. The mistress may come then. I will gladly wait to see her to her house…"
Then it got quiet and then came a bbbbeeeeeeppppp.
Katura sighed a deep sigh, and walked into the kitchen to pour herself a glass of milk.
Katura's POV:
I sighed a deep sigh, and walked into the kitchen to pour myself a glass of milk.
'So tomorrow's the day huh? Can't believe it came so soon. And I'm getting my house plus my house warming party. What a mess this is going to be… Tenten probably told the whole town by now…'
Sorry I took long people. My computer is kinda slow and I'm typing this thing on my mom's laptop… Well, her work's laptop anyway. (She keeps it at home)
Ok peoples, I hope you likey my story. I'm not sure when I'm going to update because my mom is going to take a couple weeks off from work to spend it with me and then I'm going back to school on the 9th of September. I'll probably update that Friday which is…the 12th.
I'm excited! My first week of high school shouldn't be so bad… especially at an IB school right? Right? –laughs nervously- So I should have new ideas for that… So, my ideas for that week should either be based on horror, fear, happiness, or sadness. (I'll miss you Rose…-cries-…don't forget me!! (Whoa. I'm going to need a new notebook to write down my thoughts…))
Oh! Guess what! You remember my cousin that died on the 22nd of July this year? (Did I ever tell you guys?) Well, his dad just called my mom, it's 8:47 p.m. and the 19th of August, and now she's planning to go back to Texas because she feels bad because he sounded really sad… I know I should feel worried or sad or something, but I'm happy that I get to see my 14 year old (girl) and 16 year old (boy) cousins (My cousin's siblings) and then I could do things with them. I haven't seen them in over 5 years. This is a one in a life time chance because I hate planes, but if it gets me to Texas faster, then the hell will I take them! XD Sorry, I'm in a good mood right now…
Flan - Flan is a jello like substance that is always sweet. It's made out of sugar milk and eggs. It originated in Mexico (I think…)
Anyway, please review people I only got two reviews. (Believe me; I'm really grateful for you guys. I love you very much!!) I'm still writing because of them. If you guys want me to keep updating, then review! I can do it people. I made you guys wait a long time to update chapter 3 and 4. Remember? (And my finger got healed quickly so that wasn't it) So, review review review review review review review!!
