Ok, already uploading chapter 3 and its only been a few hours. Oh well! Hope you like it and I'll probably update again later. Lol. Thanks Reinao Tanaka. I spose this ones for you since you actually showed interest. You too Bitto! Hope I don't let ya down!
Tenten looked at the clock, wishing time would hurry up. It was only eight and she was already ready to go. She had packed her drawstring mesh camo bag with the basic necessities for a night away from home and had showered and changed into something more comfortable than her training clothes.
She paced back and forth across her kitchen floor, anxious to get going. Getting aggravated with the never changing scene of kitchen counters, a sink, microwave, fridge ect, she decided to step outside to wait. She shivered as the cold air hit her skin. The temperature had dropped slightly since sundown. It felt great and she was glad she wasn't wearing any more than her jean shorts and camo tube top.
Finally, nine rolled around and Tenten took off towards Ino's house. She jumped from roof to roof, savoring the feeling of the cold air against her skin. She reached Ino's house and knocked on the door, bag in hand. It was Sakura who opened it, and she let Tenten in, smiling.
Tenten could see that Hinata was there also. Definitely a good crowd when you needed a distraction.
"Hey guys!" Tenten called, waving at everyone.
"Hey Tenten" Hinata and Ino said in unison.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, its time for the fun to begin!" Ino called out.
--
"Whoa! Tenten looks totally different!" Chouji exclaimed. He had never seen her aside from practice and missions, so seeing her now was a new one.
"Well, no one walks around in their training clothes." Neji muttered. He tried to act like he didn't care, but he had also never seen Tenten in normal attire. He had to admit, she looked great. He couldn't believe that such a great body was hidden under that baggy stuff she normally wore.
"Alright! Here they go!" Chouji said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Neji nodded in acknowledgement and listened as the girls gathered in a circle on Ino's living room floor.
--
"Here's what were gonna do." Ino said to the group. "I've got my mp3 player on shuffle and hooked up to speakers. When I hit play, were gonna say the first person that comes to our mind when we hear the song."
"Cool." Was Sakura's reply
Hinata just smiled and nodded.
Tenten just looked at Ino. She looked…..mischievous…and that scared her.
"ok…" Tenten finally replied.
"Awesome! Ok! First song..." Ino cheered, pressing play on her offensively bright pink mp3 player.
We'll do it all. Everything. On Our own.
We Don't need anything. Or anyone.
If I Lay Here. If I Just Lay here.
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
"Shikamaru!" shouted all three girls at the same time. They looked at each other, giggling furiously.
"It just wouldn't be right to think anything else." Ino stated. She reached for the mp3 player and hit the "next" button.
Hello little boys, little toys. We're the dreams you're believing. Crawling up the walls, running down your face. Razor sharp, razor clean, feel the weapon's sensation. On your back, with loaded guns!
"That's Ino for you" Tenten said, grinning wickedly at the blonde kunoichi.
"I have to agree with Tenten" Sakura stated, her grin matching Tenten's.
"I dunno….the whole weapons thing reminds me of you, Tenten" Ino said. Hinata nodded in agreement.
"Whatever you guys say." Was Tenten's only response.
Next
I
want you to want me. I need you to need me.
Id love you to love
me. I'm beggin you to beg me.
I want you to want me. I need you
to need me.
Id love you to love me. Ill shine up the old brown
shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
Ill get home early from work if
you say that you love me.
Hinata was the first to speak. "The song reminds me of Naruto-kun.." she said quietly.
"Well, of course it does!" Ino said laughing.
"Who does it remind YOU of then?" Sakura asked.
"You first!" Ino said loudly, trying to suppress giggles.
"Fine." Sakura said. "It reminds me of…"
"WAIT!" Ino said, putting her hand up to stop Sakura. "Before you try to buillshit me, remember I can get in your mind and tell if you're lying."
Sakura started blushing slightly. "Ok, so this song..well…it kinda reminds me of Gaara…" she finished and saw the girl's jaws drop.
Tenten just smiled. She personally thought Sakura was just what Gaara needed.
Ino would not be beaten. "Well…to make this interesting…try to guess who mine was."
"Sai?" Sakura guessed.
Ino shook her head no.
"Shikamaru?" Hinata asked.
She shook her head again.
Tenten just smiled. "It was Chouji, wasn't it."
Ino let a small blush creep onto her cheeks.
"YOU?? CHOUJI?! Huh?" was all Sakura could say.
"Why so surprised?" Ino asked.
Since Sakura was currently rendered speechless, Hinata spoke for her.
"It..its just that…your s-so into physical a-at-attraction and what not….constantl-ly on diets and s-s-stuff
"You guys haven't seen Chouji in serious battle. That fat is just a cover. He actually needs it to kickass. And he is just so sweet!" the last part had Ino grinning like an idiot.
"How'd you guess?" Sakura asked Tenten, finally finding her voice.
"Easy" Tenten said nonchalantly. "You can't hang around someone as much as Ino does with Chouji and not like them."
"True." Hinata said.
--
"DUDE! She digs me!" Chouji was ecstatic.
Slap
Neji slapped him upside the back of his head.
"What the hell was that for!?" he cried out.
"If you don't shut the hell up we're gonna get caught! Neji growled.
"OH! Oops, my bad." Chouji whispered.
"Whatever. Now shut up, Tenten is up next. Neji couldn't stand the suspense. He wanted to know…he HAD to know!
--
"Alright Tenten, your turn." Ino said.
Tenten sighed. Ino already knew who was on her mind, she just wanted to make her say it out loud.
"Thesongremindedmeofneji" she mumbled under her breath.
They just stared at her.
Ino rolled her eyes. "If you don't use spaces when speaking no one will understand you."
"Ugh! I said the song reminded me of Neji! There, I said it! Happy?" she yelled.
Sakura and Hinata gasped.
Ino just smiled. "Yes, yes I am" she said to the bright read girl sitting across from her.
--
"There you have it!" Chouji said, smiling.
"That's…..thats…I didn't…wow." Neji couldn't get his words out right.
Then, guilt flooded over him like a tsunami. She really did care about what he said…what he thought…and he just turned his nose up at her every time.
"Now I feel like shit." Neji said, mostly to himself.
"Toldya!" Chouji said to him.
Just then….a hand came down one each of their shoulders.
"Oh shit..." was all Neji could manage.
