I believe this chapter will have been most certainly worth the wait Lol.. ;) So sit back and Gaze at your computer screen Dudes and Dudettes****
Tenten couldn't help but process all that has happened this morning. First what happened in the weapons shop, The music store and until now. Only yesterday Tsunade said it wouldn't be for two weeks until she would have chosen a caretaker for sasuke. What could have happened in just one day that would make her change her mind so fast?
Well Tenten was about to find out, While she was on her way to The Hokage. She couldn't help but think about what she had told derick. About The soulmate experienced. Tenten left a great deal of Information out of her story. and it just wasnt her and Karayan that went it was also Gail and Gothel. While she did indeed tell about her and karayan's experience. but not the other two. At the time Gothel was carrying zvan. Akula was already a year old. I know this seems silly, But gothel wasn't so sure about Goliath in the beginning but when the finder took her hand he gave her a kind smile and told her that she has already found him and that they will be happy for a long time. Now when gail came along to the finder it seemed like ages Till the man spoke and he said that when she grows to a certain age there will be several men fighting for her attention.
When Gail heard this she didn't believe it at first, She still doesn't. But the finder warned her that it is her choice to choose, apparently her soulmate won't be easy to find. Tenten laughed to herself about the crazy things they have done. But her mood darkned a little bit because Of last night. At Monster's Night The two akatsuki members kept staring at her and the twins, Great she just remembered that they were after her and The other two as well. Darn.
Time seemed to fly as she was standing outside the Hokage Tower she saw shizune standing there as if she was waiting for her. She was. Shizune waved and smiled at Tenten. "Hello Tenten! Glad you came. Come come." She rushed the confused kunoichi inside. And pushed her inside the office wishing her goodluck.
Tenten Breathed a little fast because of the rush, She saw Tsunade grin at her.
"Good Afternoon Tenten," She spoke
"Yes Good day to you to Tsunade-sama." Tenten replied
"I suppose that your wondering why I have called you here right?"
"Hai I have."
"Well this is very important, I know that I said it would have been in two weeks, But It can't wait."
"What is the emergency?" Tenten asked
"Well it has come to my attention that Kakashi is busy and doesn't have time to babysit Sasuke. So he came to me last night requesting that it's about time someone took official watch." Tsunade explained
"Uh-huh go on." Tenten said
"And three possiblie people that could keep an eye on him were you, Sakura, And Naruto."
"Why?"
"Well the others were a major no. The others couldn't and I'm not so sure about my apprentice taking care of him, She may still hold affection towards him and Last time I looked He wasn't so fond of her either."
"Tsunade-sama." Tenten pressed "I have alot to do to. Not just Kakashi sensei. What about Naruto?"
Tsunade sighed "Well after a brief conversation with Both Jiriya and Kakashi We all agreed that Naruto might lose his temper when dealing with Sasuke and something unwanted will most likely happen. So the most reasonable person to choose was you."
"Well I see your point." Tenten stated
"Plus." Tsunade added as she smirked "You have The girls with you im positive you will be able to keep sasuke on his toes."
"Uh, Thanks? I guess," Tenten replied
Tsunade waved a hand "Don't worry Tenten you will do fine, And Every month I will expect a report on his progress."
"Oh alright Tsunade-sama." Tenten paused for a moment before asking "Uh Tsunade-sama?"
"Yes Tenten?" The hokage asked
"Do I have to take him everywhere I go?"
Tsunade choked a bit. "W-well yeah, ahem Places such as missions, To stores, and training, But not 'personal things'."
Tenten's cheeks flared "I wasn't talking about that!"
Tsunade grinned "Just watch what you say then. Now getting back on subject, History from your file shows that you have spent alot of time with neji hyuga. This is good why? because you know better than anyone when it comes to dealing with IceCubes."
"Well thank you." Tenten said unsure.
"Im marking this mission as S-rank." Tsunade broke the silence
"You are?"
"Hai I am, Sasuke Uchiha can be dangerous, But you have Gail and Karayan to help if needed, and you must fill him in on the whole jutsu thing like you have done with naruto, And Im also asking you to train sasuke."
"Okay I think I can handle this." Tenten said
"And therefore you must drop the time you spend with your team. for you will be to busy with uchiha and The twins, along with the nightclub, akatsuki, etc."
"Eh that is true Tsunade-sama. Oh I meaning to ask you I require time off in a few weeks for a wedding in lighting."
"Oh You mean Goliath and Gothel's right?"
"Yeah. that's the one."
(AN: Tsunade knows all about Tenten's connections.)
"Then its okay with me."
"Great!"
Tenten headed for the door but she suddenly stopped and she turned to tsunade again. "Do I need a mission file?"
"No. But Kakashi Sensei has a scroll that will come in handy at times. Go to him and he will give it to you. The mission starts now,"
"Okay thanks Tsunade-sama." and tenten left the room.
"Your welcome Tenten." and with that the hokage began to drink her tea to calm her approving headache.
:::With Naruto and the sisters.:::
Naruto sat on the couch just staring at his new Gutair and his only one. he couldn't wait to learn how to play it! Currently Karayan was in the kitchen laughing and Gail sat by the bar mixing herself a drink. In a coffee mug.
He took interest in what she was stirring over there, so he went closer to her and asked,
"hey gail what is that?" he pointed to her drink
"Oh its just some irish coffee."
"I see. well uh how about you start showing me to play?"
"Sure." Gail said
She walked over to his gutair and realized there were no strings on it. she sighed "Okay first we have to put the strings on it." So for about 10 minutes later They had four strings on and only two to go.
"Almost done." But just as gail said that karayan walked in with a bright grin on her face. "Hey Silly gilly and nari-chan."
Gail and Naruto looked up from the gutair and stared at her, apparently Karayan is in a good mood with evident laughter in her eyes,
"yeah Sis?" Gail asked
"Let's bake Tennie-chan a cake!"
At the sound of food naruto's stomach rumbled Gail laughed.
"But what about the gutair?" gail said
"yeah!" Naruto agreed. Karayan leaned against the doorway. "Well after we're done I can show you."
"Sounds great! learning from a pro!"
Karayan laughed "So What kind of home made cake should we have for tenten when she comes back?"
"Ice Cream cake?" Gail suggested
"Nah its long to make." karayan said
"Carrot cake?" She tried again
"Maybe, Got any ideas naruto?"
"chocolate fudge?" Naruto said
'I Don't Know." Gail said
Then naruto jumped out of his seat "Aha! I got it a chocolate strawberry cake!"
"That... Isn't a bad idea." Karayan agreed.
"hey! Instead of one cake how bout we make her two!" Gail said
"Sure that way there will be plenty of leftovers." Karayan said
Then a minute later Karayan had a brilliant idea. "I got it! we will make Chocolate Strawberry cake and red velvet cake from scratch!" Tehn both naruto and gail smiled they said together "Sounds great!" then they looked at each other and with qucik thinking gail blurted "Jinx!"
Naruto got mad, and huffed while crossing his arms, Gail snorted while getting up to pull naruto off the couch and said "don't pout Naruto now come and help me and my sister make the batter,"
He instinately smiled "Yeah I'll Help Believe it!" So they all laughed and headed toward the kitchen with raven keeping a wathful eye on them from the couch in the living room.
:::Back with Tenten.:::
So far, Tenten had taken deep breaths until she arrived at her Training grounds, She knew that both team's were here having a joint training session for an entire month. She laughed a little with the idea of kakashi-sensei putting up with Gai for an entire month, She almost felt bad for him... Almost.
So she arrived, with a poker face on, and cleared her throat to get Kakashi's attention. But The first person to notice her was Neji.
"Tenten." Neji said
"Hey Neji." She replied without looking at him. and walked straight towards kakashi.
Kakashi stopped reading his book to notice Tenten walking towards him. "Why hello tenten what brings you here?" In fake innocence
"Kakashi-sensei I came here to relieve you of your duties for watching Sasuke Uchiha." Tenten stated with a fairly plain voice
"Finally." Kakashi said
Sakura stopped talking with lee and walked over to Tenten, but Lee followed her.
"hey Tenten-chan." Sakura greeted.
"Hello."
"Hello Tenten-san!" Lee greeted with a smile
She stopped talking with kakashi to smile briefly at Lee. "Hi lee." then turned her attention back to the the sensei.
"So Why are you here?" Sakura asked.
This time Kakashi broke eye contact with Tenten and Turned to Sakura, "Sakura." He spoke making his voice loud and clear to everyone so that they wouldn't miss it. "Tenten is going to babysit Sasuke."
"Huh!?" She asked in shocked surprise
"Babysit?" Lee asked confused
Sasuke Turned his attention on Tenten and His eyes narrowed
Neji didn't say a word.
"but I thought that it wasn't going to be until another 2 weeks?" Sakura stated
"That was the original plan but, something came up and since he can't be trusted just yet tsunade-sama made her choice earlier than expected." Tenten explained
"Oh." Sakura sounded a little sad,
"So This means you wont be able to train with us for a while?" Lee asked
"Afraid so Lee. But good news I'll still be bale to talk with you. And Im suppose to train Uchiha-san to so If I can't meet with you that's why."
"Oh Okay Tenten-san." Lee said
Suddenly Gai-sensei spoke up with a proud smile on his face. "Tenten I'm proud of you. I know that you will succeed! train everyday with him to perfect your skills, you could teach the youngster a few things that I'm sure of."
Tenten smiled at her old sensei. "Thanks Gai-sensei." Then she looked uncomfortable with Sasuke staring at her. she cleared her throat and she reached her hand out towards kakashi.
"Hm? Oh right I believe you will need this." he reached and took the scroll out of his pouch and Handed it to Tenten, She smiled in thanks, and was going to walk near Sasuke but Suddenly She heared a cheerful shout heading straight. For. Her.
"Whoa!" Tenten had managed to turn around with her arms wide she suddenly gained 30 pounds, All she managed to see was a black head nuzzling into her neck. and little arms wrapped around her neck and legs around her waist. she then heard him pull away from her neck with a huge smile on his little face.
"Zvan?" tenten stated
"Auntie Tenten!" he shouted
The little boy had pale skin and big silver eyes, with greenish black hair that was slicked back and bangs framing his forehead, the child was smiling so wide that it stretched from ear to ear,
"What, But How?" She asked confused
"Uncle Kolya, Kirill, and Sebastian are here too along with Akula!"
'Wait wait, There here?"
"Yes." the little boy smiled seemingly unaware of the other people present.
"I'm just glad to see you again." he murmered in her neck with a very content and happy sigh.
"I'm Happy to see you to." as she retured his embrace
Everyone stared in wonder at the little boy who just appeared and tenten seems to know him well. Very well
Then Zvan stopped staring at Tenten to stare at everyone else. "who are they?"
"Oh. Well This is team kakashi and Gai. But we're just missing naruto.."
"Who's that?"
"A Good Friend Zvan. This Is Kakashi-sensei and Sakura, Sasuke, Neji, Lee And Gai-sensei."
The little boy finally let go of tenten and stared at all the other people, Finally he whispered to in Tenten's ear "there all Tall auntie Tenten." She laughed at that.
"Tenten who is this?" Lee asked
"Zvan."
"Oh."
Sakura spotted a red dot on tenten and she shouted "Tenten Look out!"
Tenten looked down and saw a red marking dot right on her chest she sprang into action so fast that it was hard to see her. She grabbed Zvan and Jumped away while holding the child in one arm she grabbed and threw three shuriken at her opposer, neji got worried and as soon as she landed he asked if she was alright she merily smiled and shouted in the distance,
"You Have to do better than that Kirill!"
"Damn." An accent was heard as a man with short curly light brown hair appeared holding a sniper rifle. "It would have worked to."
"Score! Tenten 157 and Kirill 0." She taunted
"I will get you one of these days Tenten mark my words." He smirked
"Yeah yeah yeah,"
"So Where are the others?" tenten asked.
Kirill laughed "Akula's got 'em running wild by now, Probably all over this village trying to catch her I'd imagine. She ran off in seach of a what was it? I believe The candy store. you know how she gets around sweets."
"yeah I know." tenten laughed
But Tenten grew Serious "Kirill This is sasuke uchiha my mission for as long as it will be." she pointed to a man with black hair and black eyes. with a white kimono shirt open at the front. he nodded towards him then turned back to Tenten
Kirill's appearence was that he had Light curly brown hair, With green eyes. he wore a black head protecter and a chain around his neck. Zvan's appearence was the geenish black hair and silver eyes.
"Right I suppose we should leave now. Uchiha-san follow me and Farewell everyone." And with that tenten walked away with zvan holding her hand and Kirill on one side and Sasuke on her other.
This whole thing was getting weirder and weirder to Neji.
The small group walked on Kirill dragged behind checking out all there was to see in the leaf village. Zvan was tired from the journey so he rested in Tenten's arms Tenten sighed she might as well get started with sasuke now.
"Uchiha-san."
"Hn."
"There is alot I need you to know so listen when we get home I'll show you to your room. after you have settled in I will come by Later and explain the situation,"
"Whatever."
Tenten glared at him in annoyance "Look here things will go alot smoother if you work with me here."
"Hn."
"Is that all you can say?"
"No." He said
"Good at least we're getting somewhere. And I'll be trainning you as well. Maybe we could teach each other some new things." A spark in her eyes.
"I Know enough." he said shortly
"No harm in trying to learn new things,"
He remained quiet.
"Come uchiha-san we're close to home."
"The Name's Sasuke."
"I don't remember asking you. and I know your name."
He just stared at her, then turned his head away looking forward.
Tenten sighed again "Sorry have a bad headache today,"
"It's Fine." He said shortly after her.
After few minutes of walking They made it to Tenten's house she walked up to the door putting her key into it unlocking the door, but her eyes widened and she quickly ducked down, Sasuke didn't see her move fast enough so when he looked up and ... Splat!
He stood there hands in his pockets, With his face.. Covered.. In.. Red.. Cake.. Batter..
Tenten looked up from the floor with wide eyes, she tried so hard to no bust out laughing. She she soon saw cake stains all over her walls, 'Looks like a war zone in here'
Laughter was heard and it was naruto who ducked under for cover behind the couch. he popped his head up and started laughing like there was no tomorrow. He couldn't help himself Sasuke was covered in cake batter! How Priceless!
But the worst of it all There stood a clone of karayan's holding a camera on record. This caused Tenten, Karayan, Gail and Naruto to howl with laughter, Which woke Zvan up and caused Kirill to come running in the house.
"What happened?" Zvan asked but soon found his answer for one person had cake batter covering his face. Tenten couldn't help it she grabbed hold of zvan so hard while her face was pink with laughter. Kirill traced the attacker and just happened to be Karayan holding a medium mixing bowl with red batter inside and a wooden spoon with dripping batter in her other hand and her knees bent in laughter. Her face wide open and laughter flowing through, But sasuke remained oddly quiet. still standing there with the batter dripping off his face, but his aura darken consideredably, He seemed quiet pissed off.
"S-Sorry Uchiha-san didn't see you there." Karayan managed to say through her laughter
Tenten had to act fast, she quickly put zvan down on the couch while smothering her laughter she stood in front of sasuke and she grabbed his hand and started to pull him towards the stairs when he pulled back.
"What? do you want that off or not?" Tenten asked smiling
He nodded and she grabbed his hand and pulled him up the stairs disapearing from sight.
The clone stopped recording, And with that she put the camera on the bar on poofed away.
After minutes of chuckles and laughs They all managed to calm down somewhat. Gail noticed the mess,
"Hey Karayan let's clean up this mess."
"Okay," So The girls started to make flowing movements with their arms, And fingers curling and low and behold The batter just came off the floor, and floated in the air until Gail started swinging her arms in a circles and the batter followed spinning in a circle. Naruto watched in amazement while Zvan did the same, Kirill only smirked. Soon the girls all had it back in the bowl and the room looked spotless.
"Great work." Karayan said and Gail smiled.
:::With Sasuke & Tenten:::
Tenten dragged sasuke upstairs tugging at his wrist. Rushing him into the bathroom, She quickly turned the light on. it was an apple red color with several pictures on the wall and was a pretty spacey bathroom So she pushed him into the sink and put his head in the sink and turned it on and left him to wash it off on his own, She reached over on the shelf over the toilet and grabbed a red towel with soap. she handed the soap to sasuke since he couldn't see anything at the moment,
So after a few minutes of him washing his face clean from the cake batter. He reached his hand out. A sign for the towel which she gave him. So he rubbed his face clean and stared at the mirror with Tenten at his side. She nodded at him and then answered his unasked question. "You get used to that."
He raised a single eyebrow "Getting used to flying cake batter?"
Tenten laughed at that. "No normally it's worse than that. You don't want to know trust me."
He nodded "Thank you."
Tenten stared at him for a moment "Right your welcome, well Come I show you to your room."
She brushed past his body and pulled her poker face on acting as if it was nothing they walked for a few seconds before She reached a wooden door and pushed it open and flicked on the lights the room was in a navy blue with the trim in black and had a canopy bed with matching black and blue sheets. queen-sized bed and plenty of pillows, several selfs adored the walls with nothing on them but one self had books on it. and in the corner was a built in closet big enough to fit 5 bodies in and also had wooden doors. The room also had a big windows in fact they led out to a balconey with long black curtains touching the floors and had a blue shine to them. Plus the was a soft rug that covered most of the wooden floor.
Sasuke walked around seeing all that he could see in his new room. Tenten spoke up. "I take it that it satisfies you Uchiha-san?"
He stopped staring to land his midnight gaze on the Honey-eyed kunoichi. "Very, Call me Sasuke. 'uchiha-san' is to formal."
Tenten nodded a small smile graced her face. "Alright Sasuke-san."
"Your Room is across from mine, Anything you need." She said
He nodded.
"Do we have to go to Kakashi's to get your things?"
"Yes."
"Okay well I suggest we go now so you have the rest of the day getting settled in."
"Hn."
So with that they left sasuke's new room and down the stairs were told them they would be right back. and everyone just stared at them leave. Gail with a smile on her face and Karayan in the kitch babysitting the baking cakes. Naruto next to raven and Zvan nodding on and off while Kirill sat at the bar staring at all the drinks.
:::3o Minutes Later:::
They ran quickly to Kakashi's place where sasuke swung inside the window. tenten's brow rose while she leaned against the wall outside waiting for him after a few minutes sasuke reappeared with a black backpack. She nodded and commented "smooth." and they were off.
:::20 Minutes Later:::
Tenten had decided to make a little pitstop in a kimono store Sasuke followed not really caring. Tenten walked to a female clerk. They chatted for a few minutes then Tenten pointed at Sasuke to which the clerk blushed, but the strange thing was Tenten wasn't blushing or smiling. There conversation was in whispers so he couldn't hear anything.
"O-oh for him?" The clerk whispered.
"Yes for that lad standing over there." Tenten confirmed
Then the clerk asked Tenten a question "Is he your Boyfriend?" very curious.
She did not blush but discomfort was clearly shown in her eyes. which caught sasuke's attention.
"No he isn't. Just helping a-ahem a friend with getting some new threads."
But the clerk didn't believe her, "Your so Lucky!" She nearly shouted then she noticed him staring in the two girls direction. "Oh my god he's looking over here!" her face turned darker as she tried to look at the cash register.
"Look we're not together," judging by the seriousness shown in the kunoichi's eyes she was telling the truth. "Well that's too bad you look great together!"
"Uhhh, Look can you make them or not?"
She suddenly had a gleeful smile on her face. "Of course I can! now in what color?"
"Well 10 White kimonos Tops and 10 Black ones, oh and 10 Dark blue ones if you can."
"30? It's No problem!"
Tenten sighed as she smiled "Thank you Oh and." Tenten went and grabbed a Uchiha fan from her pocket. From the Hokage.
"Could you by any chance sew This symbol on the upper back?"
The clerk studied the symbol then eyes going wide "This? but this is the Uchiha Symbol and that's-" pointing to the prodigy,
"Yes Sasuke Uchiha. It's my mission to look after him."
"Why of course dear these will be ready after midday tomorrow. Please until then." She smiled in a flirty way at her but a knowing flirty way towards sasuke. Tenten caught the look and this time her cheeks tinged light pink of extreme embarrasment.
(AN: To those didn't get way The clerk was trying to do, She Intends to pair the two up together and hinting to Tenten to get with uchiha and Tenten felt totally uncomfortable. the knowing look. Lol.)
"Uh Thank you."
"Your welcome Tenten. Name's Shakary."
"How did you know my name.?"
"What can I say? News travels fast around here. When you told me that your watching over him I figured that you had to be Tenten."
"Oh alright. Well I will return tomorrow. Good bye." She whispered
"Yes, bye for now." Sharkary grinned which made Tenten's hairs stand on the back of her neck.
She rushed over to where sasuke was who watched their entire conversation pulled him out of the shop, Eager to get out of there after the conversation with the Clerk. As the two ninja left Sharkary yelled.
"George! Come quick!"
Soon a tanned man with brown hair tumbled out of the back panic on his face, "What is it?"
She smirked "Oh Nothing important but... We have a new order."
He visibly relaxed while walking over to her and wrapped his arms around around her waist and buried his face in her neck, "Dont get me started when you do that."
'It's funny, but darling two ninja's came into the shop one girl and one guy." She explained
George groaned already aware where Sharkary was going with this. "Baby I know what your gonna try and do." He warned
"And I'm All up for it!" He grinned
"Really?" She asked hope shinning in her eyes
"If it makes you happy it makes me happy. You always try to play matchmaker baby."
She smiled so huge that it went ear to ear. He smiled and leaned down to catch her lips in a passionate kiss which lasted for about a minute, when she pulled away eyes sparkling.
"Gotta admit the guy she was with was hot."
His eyes flashed dangerously when she laughed "Jealous much? Don't worry I still got the hot's for you my hubby." he smiled and whispered "good." into her hair. Then she pulled away from him teasing laughter still shinning bright as ever.
"Come on." She said "Let's get started on her order." She giggled and george chuckled
"Right."
:::With Akula and The other uncles:::
The little six-year-old was running pretty fast considering her age. but that was thanks to her auntie Tenten! She loved her so much! just as much as Zvan did. Speaking of which its about time to head to her aunt's. she could hear her two uncles shouting her name and she suddenly grinned she just bought a load of candy that she was planning to share with her little brother when she get's back To Auntie tenten's.
This little Girl has the same Black-green hair but except its a short choppy hairstyle that whips around her face. and the same big silver eyes, But she was to wrapped up in her thoughts when he bumped into someone's leg. She plops to the ground holding her head. but she meets up with a pair of dark eyes that stare her down.
She gets up and bows to the stranger. "Sorry sir."
Tenten stoped walking when she heard that little voice. She reconizes that voice anywhere! "Akula?"
She sees the little girl bowing to appoligize to sasuke, probably for bumping into him, But then Akula grins and launches herself into tenten's arms. while happily shouting "Auntie Tenten!"
The two guys who chased her suddenly stopped at seeing an old friend. Sebastian and Kolya both walked to Tenten and gave her a warm greeting which she gave back just as warm, This is were Tenten filled them in On her two missions. Sasuke and the one that is starting in four days. counting down to three. And Kolya had news for her and the girls but he wants to dicuss it at her house she nodded and so the happy group walked back to tenten's.
:::25 Minutes Later:::
Tenten Opened the door holding Akula's hand and apparently Sasuke Learned his lesson he ducked, But Tenten laughed and Told him that there is no reason to duck this time. So he straightened and walked in the house with a cooled expression on his face.
But suddenly tenten had her nose in the air smelling the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen, For both Kolya's and Akula's heads snapped at the smell from the kitchen. Where kolya bolted to. Tenten laughed Where Akula jumped away from tenten and ran to Zvan who was on the couch and she pulled out the candy satch and plopped down and opened it which Zvan raced over and they started to pick out their favorite pieces. Tenten smiled And she went up the stairs where Sasuke was. He started to unpack when he felt someone's presence in the door way. He turned round to see Tenten there this time with a friendly smile on her face,
"Welcome to the Family Sasuke-san." She gave a wave to him and went back downstairs prepared to follow the declictable aroma to the source and attack.
