Still not even halfway through. Jsut editing and editing...ugh. I hate both Sasuke and Sakura anyway, but this plotline fit them so well :(
I wanna watch my shows but I can't cuz I'm busy fixing stupid errors I made and the mess FF made!
"NARUTO?"
"It is you!" he laughed and glomped me. "I'd know that hair anywhere!"
"Duh, you idiot! I'm the only person in the world with natural pink hair!" I returned the hug.
"Er...Haruno-" Sasuke tried butting in but we ignored him.
"I never thought we'd meet again after so long, Sakura-chan! Isn't this great?" he said while hugging me.
"Yeah!" I was ecstatic at meeting the crazed blonde. "OMG! You won't guess who's here!" we said in unison and laughed.
"Come with me, you have to meet these guys!" I told him excitedly. He nodded happily and followed.
We walked to the table where Ino was nursing her sore feet and Hinata was sipping a cocktail with TenTen, who had ordered a beer, lost in conversation.
"Look who's here, guys!" I shouted as I presented Naruto to the group. Ino looked up tiredly and face lit up.
"Oh shite!" Ino jumped up and tugged Naruto's hands. "Ramen-boy?"
"Psycho-girl?" Naruto replied, as excited as her. She smacked him.
"It's psychic, dumbass!" she shook him. "Mind-reader?"
"Oh, right. Sorry, Ino-chan!" he laughed and his attention was diverted by Hinata's excessive shivering and blushing. "Nooo waayy...Hinata too? How've you been?"
She fainted and TenTen grabbed her before she fell off her stool. Naruto looked worried and surprised but he was too happy to be too scared.
"She still does that, huh?" he asked Ino who smirked. TenTen looked angry.
"Who the hell is this knucklehead?" she demanded.
"Oh, sorry Ten-chan," I apologized. "He was in our grade at school, back when we were kids!"
"Yeah! I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" the blonde idiot shouted, thumbs up. Receiving no response from Tenten, he quickly maneuvered the convo to me, "...SO Sakura-chan! What are you doing now?"
"I'm working at the Uchiha Corp!" I squealed. "I'm the secretary of the main head of the business, but-" I looked around and leaned forward to whisper conspiratorily in his ear, "-he's a jerk." The blond snickered.
"Is this boss dude named Uchiha Sasuke?" he asked. "Coz he's an asshole."
"Dude!" I gestured for him to zip it. "He's right there." A fact I myself had just noticed.
"I know, big deal." he grinned and flipped off the unsuspecting brunette who rolled his eyes and muttered a dirty word.
"Me and him go way back!" he now had his arm around my struggling boss. "We've hated each other since we met coz he was the topper of the class, remember bitch?"
"Of course I remember," he smirked and spoke for the first time since intruding on our reunion. "How do you know him, Haruno?"
"Eh? Oh...didn't you hear me tell TenTen?" I asked. He'd been there THE WHOLE TIME, how could he NOT hear!
"Why would you befriend this moron?" he asked, apparently rephrasing his previous query.
"He's Naruto, that's why! Why did you?" I countered. He didn't reply. "Anyway, this is Ino, TenTen and Hinata. Guys, this is my boss."
Ino raised her eyebrow, Hinata hid behind Ino and TenTen folded her arms across her chest. "Hey," the said in unison.
"Nice to meet you." he said politely, but I could see it wasn't "nice" to meet my friends.
"Naruto, you here alone?" Ino asked, standing up and dragging the now-concious Hinata with her.
"No, I almost forgot! I think we're gonna have a reunion." he smirked and motioned for us to follow.
We walked across the club and entered the lounge area reserved for VIPs. Naruto led us to a secluded room and stopped.
"TA-DA!" he yelled before pulling aside a curtain a shoving us inside.
"What the heck, Naruto?" a man who appeared to be sleeping groaned as the whisker-faced man slapped his butt.
"Shikamaru, Shino, Neji...guess who's here!" he shouted happily.
Slowly, the said men looked at us. I wasn't sure about one, who had dark glasses covering his eyes...
"Oh my goodness, SHIKA!" Ino screamed and dove at the pineapple haired sleeping man who groaned in pain. "It's been so long!"
"Hello Shino-kun, Nii-san..." Hinata greeted softly and there was a sudden, unsettling silence in the room.
"Who's your brother?" TenTen asked. "The googly-goggle one? Or the one with the pony? The one with eyes like yours who's glaring at me?"
"..." we sweatdropped as she answered her own question.
"So!" I looked around, hoping a topic change would cover up for the loudmouthed brunette. "It really is like a reunion here, huh!"
"Yeah, except we don't know him." Bun-head pointed at the Hyuuga, who blinked.
"That's just Neji!" Naruto shouted. He introduced us all in turn and within minutes everyone was chatting amiably.
Ino was sitting between Shikamaru, her childhood friend and Shino, Hinata's childhood bud. Everyone had grown up and done pretty well for themselves.
Shikamaru was a private investigator, a fairly succesful one at that. He worked with Ino's father and was known for being the laziest, but smartest person in the entire village! He steered clear of women, something we always made fun of because we knew what his mother was like.
Naruto, whose ambition was to be Hokage (the name we called the Sheriff or Mayor of Konoha, our village) as a child, was in the running for the title. He had done something big and enormously successful, which resulted in him becoming a millionaire (like Uchiha and Hyuuga Corp.'s owners) and he re-opened the school we went to as children and was currently working on the building and infrastructure of the whole place. "Still need teachers and janitors and lunch-ladies...I think I need an entire staff! I'm in way over my head!" I remembered him moaning.
Shino was a bug-scientist. I forgot the techinical term, so I call him that. What was "cool" about his job, however, was that he was internationally renown for his work.
I found Shino a bore, but I knew Ino would love talking to him. She loved the intellectual types. Hinata went for the nice-guys, which I have never really seen proven, except that she's always had the hugest crush on Naruto. That was a recent revelation for me, because when we were younger I didn't know Hina-chan all that well, so I didn't really know about her "secret" crush.
TenTen's kind of guy...now THAT was a real brainer. She seemed to dislike all guys, except Lee and Gai-sensei, both of whom were bushy-browed freaks.
Hmm?
Ah...
EW!
Hehe! Okay, I know that was a bit mean to Gai and Lee, but come on...just imagine TenTen's taste in guys being THAT...ahem, Manly. ;) Don't get me wrong, I think Gai's plenty hot and Lee is adorable...it's just that Neji is sooo much hotter, ne?
I hope this chapter wasn't too big a disappointment for ya'll? I really wanted to make it a bit less filler-ish, but it turned out similar to the 3rd chappie, huh? Gomen! R&R please!
PS; I have, like, the MOST awesome idea for this series...like, WOOT. Like, OMG. Yeah, THAT awesome!
PPS: Sorry for the lack of length! And corny-goodness! PLEASE review, critique is welcome! :)
