Okay, third chapter here we come!
Your turn, Tenten!
Tenten: Gemina does not own me or any other Naruto or Sky High characters. In fact, she doesn't own any character mentioned ever in this story, now that I stop and think about it.
Thank you Tenten! I don't think we'll be needing your help again...
The psychic blocking class had ended early. The teacher had gotten a headache from Lee's loud thoughts. Apparently, Lee was no good at blocking any psychic. Great, what a liability.
Neji was still in a bad mood as they headed home. He hadn't even had to put up a psychic shield, the seal had done that for him.
The team was staying in an old house, right near where Warren and his mother lived. That's who they were here to protect, after all.
Neji set to cooking dinner. Neji was the one in charge of the cooking, because Lee burned anything and everything, and Tenten couldn't cook anything edible.
"Yosh! Wasn't school just Youthful, Tenten?!" Lee yelled. Tenten winced. "Stop yelling, Lee." She said. She threw herself onto the couch. " But, yeah, it was fun." Neji snorted in the kitchen.
"Hey! Just because you can't enjoy it doesn't mean we shouldn't!" Called Tenten.
Meanwhile, at Warren's house...
" How was school, Warren?" Joy Peace called from the kitchen as Warren entered the house. " Great. There are exchange students from Japan, and one of them set Layla off"
"Oh? What did they do"
" Snorted when she said anyone could be a superhero, whether or not they had powers"
" And the what happened"
" She gave a speech about equality and such, what are we having for dinner"
" Well, I was thinking about the Japanese buffet. How'd they react"
" Disagreed and stormed off. If we're eating out, why are you in the kitchen"
" Cleaning burned pot roast from the walls of the oven. I hope she didn't make any enemies"
" I don't think she did. Need help"
She walked into the living room. "No, just finished, let's get going."
She and Warren quickly made their way out the door and to the car.
Back to team Gai...
"Yosh! They are leaving Neji!" Yelled Lee.
Neji sighed. "Then I suppose we have to follow them. Tenten! Stop showering, we have to follow Warren!"
Tenten came out fully clothed with wet, sudsy hair a few seconds later. "Stop showering, he says..." She muttered darkly, as she toweled her hair dry.
They all quickly ran out the door to follow Warren, though Neji stopped to turn off the stove.
And back to Warren...
He and his mother grabbed a booth, claiming it with their coats. Hopefully no one would move them.
Then, he looked up and saw team Gai coming in the door. He quickly pretended not to notice them.
"Is something wrong, dear?" His mother asked in a casual tone.
There was no lying to his mother in any way, shape or form. She was, after all, a telepath, and could easily tell if he was lying.
" Just saw the exchange students I told you about." He said with a shrug.
" Well, why don't we invite them to sit with us, they're probably feeling lost in this country." She said.
"Fine." Said Warren, knowing that "we" meant him. He headed across the room.
---------------------------------------------
Tenten looked up and saw Warren was headed in their direction. Neji, who was wearing sunglasses to hide his unusual eyes, also noticed, and hissed to Lee " Warren is coming over." "He is? Yosh!" Lee yelled, causing everyone in the buffet to stop and stare at him.
Warren stopped in front of their table. " Do you want to share a table with us?" He asked, gesturing to where his mother was sitting.
The team looked at each other as if in a silent conference about what to do. Finally, Tenten spoke. " We'd love to, thank you."
-----------------------------------------
Dinner was, to say the least, exciting. First, Lee felt it necessary to yell his thanks and compliment Joy on her Youthfulness.
Next, he was delighted by her name and had to yell about it's youthfulness as well.
" Lee! Stop yelling!" Yelled Tenten in exasperation.
"So, Warren tells me you're from Japan, are you enjoying your stay in America?" Joy asked.
Neji snorted, at which Tenten elbowed him. Lee started "It is most Y--ow!" He was interupted by a hit to the head from both his teamates.
"You speak english very well." Said Joy with a smile. She found this group funny.
Tenten smiled back, and Lee, who was already smiling, smiled wider, nearly blinding Warren and Joy. "Thank you, we spent years practicing." Tenten replied. That was why they were the team chosen for this mission, after all.
Joy looked at her watch. " Oh well, we'd better get going. It was nice meeting you." She said, and she and Warren both headed out the door.
" Come on." Said Neji, once they were out of sight, and they quickly zipped home, beating the Peace family car easily.
The rest of the night was spent on homework. Tenten was absolutely sure Lee was going to flunk, because he marked almost everything with the answer 'Youthful'.
Neji just shook his head and steered clear of the pair as they fought over the answers on their papers, the bathroom, and then when to go to bed.
Their problem, not his.
Like it? I'm hoping this one was a bit longer than the last. Updates will be soon! Please leave reviews!
