Me: Wow! Is this me updating?! Of course it is! Hi people!
Cat: Dude, where the hell have you been?
Me: Huh?
Cat: You haven't updated in like, two or three months, seriously, what the fuck?
Me: Oh. Well school has been getting in the way lately and of course exams. Then came the laziness. After that, my space bar got screwed up. Now that it's fixed, you'll be expecting some fresh new chapters!
Cat: Eh, whatever. Just glad that you're updating again.
Me: I know! Me too! Anyways….
Tenten: Enjoy this new chapter!

"She's the new babysitter?" A blonde asked raising an eyebrow. A redhead nodded.
"This means we'll have to keep a close eye on her." A brunette added. "And a close eye on Miyuki also."
Both of them nodded in response.

Tenten's POV.
"I'm still hungry! Feed me!" Miyuki cried. I huffed in annoyance. "Miyuki, you just finished eating two hotdogs, either you have a problem, or you're used to eating too much. How much does an eight year old eat?"
"I don't know. All I know is that I'm hungry and you're not feeding me!" Miyuki kicked my shin. "Oww! What the hell was that for?!" I growled in pain.
"Ooooh, you said a naughty word!" She pointed at me while covering her mouth with her hand.
"God…this kid is just so…" I whispered to myself. Miyuki just tilted her head in confusion.
Then an idea popped into my head. "How about we bake a cake?" Miyuki brightened up once she heard my request. "Yeah! But it has to be a chocolate one!" I just rolled my eyes and smiled before I nodded.
Miyuki skipped to the kitchen and pulled out her little apron. Then she took a bigger apron out of the drawer and handed it to me. I eyed the thing, debating if I should wear it or not. Last time I wore an apron, it was set on fire…with me wearing it. I put the apron back in the drawer.
"Why aren't you wearing mommy's apron?" Miyuki asked with big pleading eyes. "Uh, I just don't want to get it dirty." I said forcing a smile. Miyuki just brushed it off and ran to the refrigerator.
We started making the cake from the ingredients I found in some of the cupboards. I started to crack the eggs when I heard Miyuki speak.
"So, since you're showing me how to make a cake, that means you're my sensei!" She started cracking some eggs of her own, but not very well.
"Uuh, yeah. But how about you watch me make the cake and that way, the cake will be done, and you'll be learning!" Miyuki grinned. "Okay!"
After a while, I put the cake in the oven and set the time. Miyuki looked in amazement. Not that it was amazing… Stupid kid.
"Why are you putting the cake there Sensei?" Miyuki asked.
"So it can bake."
"Why does it have to be baked?"
"So we can eat it."
"Why do we need to eat it?"
"So we don't die."
"Why do we need to die?"
God damn it. I'm about to strangle this brat myself…
"I don't know! Cuz god wants us too?!"
"What's a god?"
I smacked my hand on my forehead in annoyance. This kid is just so…what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, IRRATATING.
"Miyuki, how about we wait quietly for the cake to be baked? How does that sound?" I tried my best to make that sentence sound nice. Miyuki frowned. "Boring."
"Well, to me it sounds very interesting, so since I am the babysitter, you'll have to listen to me, so you have to be interested too. Okay?" Miyuki huffed. "Fine."
"How about we take some pictures to pass the time away?" I suggested. Miyuki smiled. "Okay!"
I walked over to my bag and took out my camera. We started taking random pictures of ourselves. Hey, this kid might not be so bad after.
BEEP!
The cake was ready and I told Miyuki to go wash her hands. While she was gone, I started to cut the cake. Then this fly started to bug me…
I grabbed a rag and started to swat the thing, but everywhere I hit, it flies away. That's when it landed on my hand. I used my other hand and raised it up slowly…
BAM! I killed the little devil! Ha! That's when I took a look at my other hand.
"EWW! THERE'S FLY SHIT ALL OVER MY HAND! DAMN IT! THAT'S FUCKING GROSS!" I cursed. Well, who could blame me? There's fly guts all over my hand! Damn flies.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Miyuki staring at me. I laughed sheepishly. "Never repeat what I say."
After I washed my hands, I sat down with Miyuki and ate my piece of cake. That's when I told Miyuki that I'll be right back. I walked over to the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sakura."
"Oh! Hi Tenten! How's babysitting going?"
"It could be better."
"Ooh, doesn't sound like its going great. Well, cheer up! You only have 2 hours to go!"
"Whoopie. I swear, this kid is demented. She asks weird questions and is really annoying."
"What do you expect? She's only eight. I hear children around that age are very strange…"
"Strange? No, no. She's past strange. More like…retarded? Or…abnormal?"
"Don't worry Tenten, once you have enough money for a new cell phone, you'll be free again!"
"I guess. I better go, before this brat drowns herself in the toilet."
"What the hell?"
"I know, she's stupid enough to do that. I swear, she is soooo fucking annoying!"
"Okay…well, bye Tenten!"
"Peace. Bye!"
I hung up and found Miyuki on top of the refrigerator eating her cake. HOLY SHIT!
"Miyuki, get your ass down here! Are you trying to commit suicide?!" I yelled, trying to reach her, damn me and my shortness.
"Nooo! You silly billy! I'm going to fly!" She giggled. I choked on my spit. No way in hell was she going to fly!
"Miyuki, you come down here right now!" I said stomping my foot.
"No! I won't! And you can't make me!" She huffed. Damn, babysitting this monster is harder than I thought.
"Please Miyuki? For me?" I pleaded. She thought it over for one second. "No!"
I sighed exasperatedly. There's just no getting through this kid, huh?
"Miyuki, get down." A quiet low voice said. I gasped and turned around, only to see bright green eyes and red hair.
"Gaara nii san!" She yelled. Gaara? Um… Wait a second, Nii san?!
"W-what? What are you doing here? How did you get in here? Who the hell are you? U-uh.." I couldn't find the right words to say or ask. I all I could is just stand there.
"Hn. My name is Gaara. Miyuki is my younger sister. I came because it seemed you're to useless to take care of an eight year old and the window was open." He said, his face not showing any emotion.
"O-oh, well, could you get her down? Please?" I asked. He just sighed and reached up to get her down. Miyuki just giggled. Damn, I never noticed how tall he is, compared to me anyway.
Once she was down, she hurried to the bathroom yelling: "Have to go potty!" I and Gaara were left alone with an awkward silence.
"So, you live here?" I asked, breaking the silence. Gaara looked at me and shook his head.
I frowned. "Why not?" He just glanced at me and said nothing. "What is it?" Yes, I am a nosy person. I stepped closer to him only to find myself fall on top of him. Me and my clumsiness! But that's not all, oh no, I happen to find my lips on his! We were also in an awkward position…yeah, don't want to talk about it.
We both laid there, not moving. The both of us couldn't move. We were just…frozen. But my lips were still on his and I had my eyes closed. I couldn't look at his expression! Then I saw a flash. That's when I decided to move my head and see Miyuki taking a picture of us! With my camera! Yes, I carry a camera, just in case I need it. Oh no! If anyone sees that picture, I'll be dead!
I sat up and unconsciously put my hands on his chest. That's when I jumped off him. When I looked at him, he had an emotionless face, but I could totally see the the faint blush on his face.
"Hahahahaha! You two look really cute together!" Miyuki giggled. I growled in response. "Miyuki, give me that camera!"
Gaara brushed my arm and left, without saying a word. What should I say? I couldn't say anything…What was there to say?
"Sensei, why are you so red?" Miyuki asked. I glared at her. "Miyuki, you better give me my camera, or else…"
"Or else what?" She stuck out her tongue at me. I smirked. "You don't want to know." I was about to move when I heard the door open.
"I'm home! Miyuki! Did you have a good time?!" Karura asked her daughter, Miyuki dropped the camera and ran to hug her mom. I quickly caught it. "Damn kid…" I whispered to myself.
"I sure did Mommy! Gaara nii san came!" Miyuki yelled. Karura just froze. "What? Is this true Tenten?" I nodded but then I told her I had to go. I grabbed my bag and muttered a 'Bye' before I left.
I couldn't stay there. I wouldn't know what to say if she asked me more questions about Gaara. Dude, I kissed him! Oh god, that was embarrassing... Just then I heard a honk from a car. I turned my head to find Neji stick out his window from the car.
"Need a ride?" He asked. I smirked. "Sorry, I don't take rides from strangers."
Neji smirked also. "Well, that's just too bad. Hop in." I giggled and opened the door of the passenger's seat. I slammed the door shut and Neji drove off.
"So, how'd it go?" He asked. I just glared at the other cars that passed us. Neji noticed my change in character.
"That bad, huh?" I huffed. " I don't want to talk about it, I just want to get home, take a nice hot bath and sleep. I think I deserve it." Neji chuckled.
"Did anything good happen?" He asked. I thought for a second. "Yeah, we took some pictures. Wanna see?" He nodded. I reached for my bag, took out my camera and handed it to him. On a red light, he looked through them.
'You dumbshit.'
'Huh? What do you mean?'
'Did you already forget that special picture that brat took?'
I gulped. Oh crap. Oh no. Oh shit. Oh fuck. Oh damn it. I'll just pray he doesn't see that picture. Cause if he does, I'm screwed.
"Tenten?" I visibly jumped. "Y-yes?"
"Who's this?" He asked angrily, pointing at the red head in the picture. I started to feel sweat go down my neck. "That's G-gaara." I managed to say.
"And why are you kissing him?" He growled. "Neji, I can explain! Slow down!" I shouted. He was going over the speed limit…
Then he came to an abrupt stop. I almost hit the windshield if it weren't for my seatbelt. I noticed he unlocked the doors and got out. He opened the door and glared at me. But I saw something in his eyes. Hurt? Sad? Angry? Confusion? Loneliness? His eyes were mixed with emotions that I didn't even notice I was outside of the car.
"Neji…?" I reached for his arm but slapped my hand away. "Don't…touch me." I winced at his hurtful words. But what hurt most…was my heart.
He got inside his car and left. I slumped down to the ground and began to sob. "Oh…Neji. How could I hurt you so?" I whimpered before hiding my face with my hands.
Neji and I.
We're over.
