A/N: I'm so sorry for the late update. I had a lot of things to do so it takes a while to take a free time. With all the functions that I need to add on my web application and all the dead lines. I'm so sorry guys. This chapter is a little long too. I'm very lucky to have a little free time last week end so, here it is.
Autumn
Chapter 4
I woke up with a bang. For a moment, I thought Konoha was in a blast again. But then I heard a hammering. I was groggy and sleepy and don't want to deal with constructions. I pulled a pillow and put it on my head. Wait. As if something flashes to me, I remember, Neji's home. I take the pillow off my face lightning fast. Yes, Neji's here and we had sex yesterday. I turned on his side of the bed, no Neji. Am I dreaming? No! He's here. We went to Sakura and walked the path hand by hand, had dinner with Naruto and Hinata. Then, another hammering and I think it's inside my house. I looked around and saw Neji's anbu uniform. He's here, thank goodness. Wait. The hammering. I put on Neji's shirt and put on clean panties. I ran downstairs. The hammering continues. It's on the kitchen. I saw Neji fixing my kitchen door with that bad left arm. I grimaced. I was about to stop him but then I saw Toru on Neji's feet. (Toru is our fat assed cat we picked on the road. I beg him to take Toru but then Hyuuga clan had strict policy: No pets allowed. That's why he's living with me.)
"Toru!" I screamed like I was a lunatic. Neji looked at me and smiled.
"Good morning baby." he greeted me.
"Toru's here." ignoring his sweet greet. I was beyond shock because I thought we lost the cat. He's been missing, 3 days since Neji left for Suna.
"Why? Did he go somewhere?" he reached on his ankle where the orange-striped cat was sitting.
"Yeah. He's been gone since you went on your mission."
"And he's back now since I'm here again." I crossed my arms at his statement. I glared at Toru.
"What's the meaning of this fat-ass? You implying that this house is no good for you since Neji were out?" I asked the cat and he meowed like he's answering a yes. I gasped. "I was feeding you so much, your tummy would burst. You're like a king here. What the fuck?" I hissed at Toru. I was glaring at him ready to kick him out of my house but he just showed me his fat ass and circled Neji's ankle.
"I think he just searched for me, Ten-ten." I looked icily at Neji.
"And you, big man, you had a bad arm and you're hammering like you were profiting from your hard work." Neji sighed.
"I've fixed it honey, ok?" Now, it's my time to sigh.
"Would you like some coffee?"
"Yes please."
"Ok, what would you like for breakfast?" he was now picking up his tools and moving towards me.
"Anything you make baby." he was leaning for a good morning kiss. Toru was licking his toes. I was a little bit exasperated at him and at Toru. But then again, I won't let a cat steal my morning kiss and so I leaned in to get it.
After breakfast, which we had toast, eggs, bacons and hotdogs, after I cleaned the dishes, and after we finished our second coffee, Neji and I made out on the table. At first I was just teasing him on how he sipped his coffee.
"You're so cute when you're pointing your mouth like that." I giggled while he blew on his cup of coffee. He put down his cup and leaned on me. We're facing each other on my small dining table.
"You want me to blow you?" I giggled again on his words.
"I'm the one who's does the blowing." he smirked at me and while leaning on his elbow across from me, he sipped a drink from his cup and blew hot breath on my lips. He smelled good. Caramel, milk, sugar and coffee. I opened my eyes (which I didn't knew that I'd close) and saw him smirking.
"You like it hot?" he asked.
"Yeah." that's when I saw him kissed me across the table, holding my neck with his right hand. He pulled back.
"That's what a breakfast kiss means." he round the table with swift, fast stride and saw myself being howled at the top of the table. Neji reached for his coffee cup, sipped, then kissed me with those hot lips. I moaned at his mouth. It's a lot hotter because of the coffee. We made out like that, Neji on his feet, me on the table, with lips, tongues and teeth. Neji was nipping on my lower lip and his hands were on my breasts when we heard a knock. The Hyuuga was trying to ignore the fact that someone is knocking at my door. But I can't ignore the fact that someone was actually knocking at my door. I pushed him off, "Neji..." but he pulled me again and kissed me. His lips were now on my neck. The knocking insists. "Baby, the door..." I told him.
"Leave it be..."
"But..." The knock became stronger. Then,
"Ten-chan! I know you're there. Open the goddamn door or I'll break in and would force to see your fuckin' white ass." I looked Neji disturbingly. Then I saw him activating his byakugan. I put both my arms on either side of his shoulders and asked,
"Who's that?"
"It's fucking Ino. Sakura is giggling at her back." another knock.
"I'll count from 1 to 3. ONE!" Now I really pushed Neji off me.
"Wait a sec!" I shouted.
"Fucking shit." Neji hissed.
"TWO!"
"I'm there Ino-chan." I shouted a little louder this time. I didn't grab a robe or anything coz I don't want to have another door blown by another crazy blonde fucker.
As I neared the door, I heard the two girls giggling.
"They must be in the middle of hot-," that's when I opened the door for them to see me in Neji's t-shirt and my panties.
"Hey. Look at that little hottie." Ino spoke first. I run my hand in my messy hair. I forgot to tie them earlier because of the Hyuuga's hammering.
"Hi Ten-chan. Sorry to disturb you two at this hour. We're here to invite you at our girl's night out later at 8pm."
"Actually, it's not invite, its force." Ino said. I shooked my head.
"Then you don't need to ask me anymore." I answered. Ino grinned.
"We're here to inform you." she said. This blonde is crazy. How ironic. Naruto is blonde too. At least Tsunade-sama is a lot more comprehensive. But then again, she could go like a crazy fucker too. Close enough.
"Well then, see you at Ichiyaki bar, 8pm. Ja ne!" Sakura said.
"Ok. See you." I answered back at both of them. It's useless to refuse. They will literally drag me off my house if I don't join them.
"What's that?" That's when Neji emerged with a new laundered shirt to appear more decent.
"They're gone." I smiled seductively at him.
"That's fast." He said. I reached for him and curled my body unto him. He cupped my bottom and I put both of my legs on his waist and kissed him. "Guess I don't need the shirt." Neji said, grinning at me like he's going to eat me clean.
"Yeah."
I throw my fitting tank top on our bed as I was putting on my blue undies. Neji was relaxing in the bed with of course watching my little dressing show. "You want me to cook for you first before I head out?" I asked putting on my bra which matched my blue panties. Neji smiled.
"Nope. I'm good." That cute grin, I had the urge to press my mouth on that.
"Guess you're enjoying this." I bend to search my pants on the lower closet, which means Neji has the full view of my ass. I heard him growl and when I turned around, he's looking intently at me, or at my butt.
"You're all pink Ten-ten." he breathed.
"Yeah?" I smacked my ass, making him groan.
"Can you please just stay with me baby?" he said a little exasperated. I smiled at him and said,
"No." he growled at me like a lion ready to paw its lioness. He ran his left hand at his beautiful brown hair. I just want to stay here with him. Cuddling, tickling, bathing, eating, talking and those dirty things his tongue can do. I was considering the thought. But then I don't want Ino pestering me about ditching them. I sighed and walk towards him with my blue undies. I snapped the upper garter of my panties and smiled seductively at him. "I can kiss you though, before I head out." Neji starts to shift on his position. He's hard and I love it.
"Yes please. Wait. Can't we have a quickie?"
"No, quickie with you is not quick." I put my arms across his shoulders and kiss him hard.
Walking in Konoha on a peaceful afternoon is somewhat calming. The autumn air, the dry, cold, crisp, wind. It would be winter soon. I guess I should replace the old kotatsu. I want something like those of the Hyuuga house, so soft and warm. I can ask Neji where they ordered that. I was on thinking mode when someone touched me on my shoulder. I turned to look who it was.
"You going to buy something Ten-ten-chan?" I smiled at the beautiful woman whose hair is as black as a coal and whose eyes were fiery red.
"Kurenai-sense, you shoppin'?"
"Going to buy something for the kids. It's very cheap today. Winter is coming so every product on the market is selling like mad with their low prices."
"Guess I'll do the shopping tomorrow. We have some all-girls-night-out today. You wanna join sensei?" She lifted her chin for awhile thinking. She's still adorable, beautiful and sexy even when having a twin. I think it's hard to be beautiful with one kid. What would it be to have two?
"Nah. I guess I'll pass on that. Daichi has a cold and I need to tend on him. Konohamaru is a little unreliable so I guess I'll be heading home for now. Next time, I guess." She smiled her beautiful red lips to me. Azuma-sensei is a pretty lucky man.
"Let me walk with you outside the market then." I offered.
"You makin' me sound like an old hag bitch." I laughed.
"You're not looking old sensei. I just wanted to walk with a pretty brunette sometimes, not just some crazy blonde and pink-haired girls. I guess my reputation having seen with those kids we're degrading." Kurenai-sensei laughed with me this time. We walked in silence for awhile. I looked at the beautiful autumn leaves on the ground. They compliment the afternoon glow of the weakening sun. I really love this season. It makes me think of something so valuable that you want to hold on forever, because, like all these leaves, everything would somehow wither, would fade, and would somewhat be enveloped with the winter cold air.
"You and Neji get along together, you thinkin' of being stable with him." I was surprised by Kurenai-sensei's sudden question, so I tilt my head and take my time analyzing the question. After I think almost a minute of thinking, Kurenai-sensei spoke again, "I'm sorry, don't answer it if it bothers you that much." she smiled reassuringly at me. I blushed, realizing I haven't answered her question.
"No! I'm sorry. I was thinking for an answer." I cleared my throat and she keeps on smiling at me. "Well, we don't really talk about being stable with each other. He's not asking, we'll of course I won't too."
"You were seen at the Hyuuga household and Neji in yours, doesn't it says that everybody agrees of you being with him?" I laughed at her tone. It's like having me on a talk show.
"Well, it's not necessarily means that Neji and I wanted to be stable."
"So you're saying that you don't want to be stable with him?"
"No. It's not that. It's just that... the war and... his missions... and everything else. We're shinobis." Kurenai-sensei snorts on my answer. Probably doesn't agree. Well, she's a shinobi but has a twin and a man to take care.
"If that's the way you think, you can go nowhere. I mean, with your relationship with Neji." I kept silent for awhile. It's not I never had a thing for setting a family. It just never brought up with the two of us because, probably, we're contented with each other. "How 'bout babies?" She looked at me quizzically. Her red eyes literally glowing in the afternoon sun. I wish I had exquisite eyes too.
"Neji doesn't want to talk about it."
"He said that?" She looked shocked and I was shocked of her being shocked.
"No. He's just dropping the subject. He's lipped-tight on the topic and I just shut my trap when he dropped it like that."
"Ow. That's hard. It's either he doesn't want to be with you or he has issues."
"Issues?"
"Yeah. I mean with the baby thing. Coz if he really loves you, then he would seal you with either marriage or a baby. Like Azuma did to me." She laughed huskily. I just smile and looked at the ground thinkin' of what she said. Neji doesn't want to be with me. Well, that's just insane. If he doesn't want to be with me, then he won't be bothering having me as a fuck-friend coz he can get whoever he wants with his beauty. That stings a little.
"Guess I need to talk to him." Kurenai-sensei tapped me once again on the shoulder. I looked at her and realized that we were at the end of the market.
"Talk to him. I'll see you later. Please watch after Hinata-chan. She sucks on alcohol." She smiled at me and part our ways.
Ino was dancing with a hot blonde and was obscenely putting her hands under the poor boy's shirt. I was scowling at her because I never thought that the girls night out is in this new bar. I thought it would be Ichiyaki. It's more decent there. I looked at Sakura, she flinched at my look. "You two never told me earlier that we would be going here." She laughed at me. I sighed at her. Hinata was blushing furiously. I cocked my head at her and she just pointed on Ino. I looked at the blonde again. She's now kissing and licking (what the fuck?) the blonde boy's neck. I studied the boy. Well he's not actually a boy. I guess he's the same age as Neji. He's lean and tall, just baby face and I think I saw him somewhere. His eyes were intently eyeing Ino. He looks clean and totally lickable. But Neji's way too hotter. Well, he's my man after all. My man? Is he mine? That bugs me a little. I love him so much and I never think of him not wanting me because I know I'm all he wants. After two years of relationship with him I'm doubting? What the fuck? Or it's just what I think? That practically saddens me. Where this doubt did came from? From Kurenai-sensei's words? No. It's always floating above my head. I'm just too scared to acknowledge it. I'm just too scared of asking Neji.
"I'm sorry we dragged you here Ten-chan. We can go to Ichiyaki if you don't want to be here. It's just that Ino insisted to go in here, after hearing it from a friend." We don't actually need to shout with each other. Sakura put a sound barrier on our spot so that the music would be a little minimal.
"It's ok. We're here after all." I smiled reassuringly at her. That's easy.
"You looked a little down Ten-chan, what's wrong?" Hinata asked. I was surprised by her sensitivity. But I just smiled her and answered,
"No. Nothing. I'm just a bit tired."
"Hmm... Having sex all night long?" Hinata blushed at Sakura's words. The pink-haired laughed like crazy? Drunk already? This is bad. "Just spill it out Ten-chan. We want to talk to you. We're here coz we need to talk, not to dance or be drunk." I guess she's just a little bit drunk. I looked at Hinata and she smiled at me. I let out a sigh.
"Ok." I looked at Sakura and ask, "Did you ask Sasuke if he wants a baby?" Sakura looked a little taken aback by my question but then she answered.
"Well, yeah. But he said that if I get pregnant, it would be a lot of a trouble. My duties as the head medic and his duties on establishing grounds on Uchiha Clan, we're pretty busy. That is why we need to take these terms." She looked me like I had just created a lot of heads on my body.
"What about you Hinata-chan? What was Naruto's aim on having babies?" The Hyuuga girl blushed like crazy, I think she would explode. Sakura laughed and spoke for Hinata.
"When they were having sex, I heard Naruto said, 'Oh Hinata, I'll make you pregnant with my thick sperm.' with the yucky groan. It's not even sexy." Hinata turned tomato-red and I giggled at her embarrassment.
"H-how did you k-know that, Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked the now laughing-not-drunk-but-lunatic-pink-haired girl.
"The beach party one year ago. You two were having drunk sex on the sofa with everyone watching the scandal."
"Yeah. I remember that. Neji was so grossed-out we just went to talk on the beach."
"Damn, Ten-ten, you two weren't talking." I blushed at that. I don't even know that somebody walked on us that night. Sakura laughed even more. This night is her night really. I heard Hinata cleared her throat.
"Well, Ten-chan, what's with the baby question?" I think this should be solved with Neji. It's not right that I would be discussing this with them and not straight with my man.
"It's just that Neji... I think Neji doesn't want to talk about having babies." Sakura looked at me like I was crazy. Hinata was looking at Ino like she didn't heard what I've just said. Sakura took a lime from the bowl next to me and drunk her tequila in one shot.
"You think Neji loves you?" I was surprised at her sudden question.
"Yeah. I think so." It's my turn now to shot my tequila. Hinata eyed the salt for awhile then turned her violet shaded pupils to mine.
"Then I think you don't need to worry about it Ten-chan. Neji-nii-san loves you, that I'm sure of." She flashed her very charming smile to me. I smiled at her too.
"It's just that I love him and even though he doesn't want a baby, I want him to talk to me about it." I was a little teary. Kurenai-sensei's words were true. It's twirling in my head.
"If he wants me he'll mark me." I was eyeing the lime now. I tasted it. It's sour.
"I know you're marked Ten-ten. You're body is marked by Neji. He somehow marked you with his teeth, his mouth, whatever it is. I'm sure he somehow managed to mark you." Sakura said with litte melancholy in her voice. I remember those times when he's sucking under my left breast, marking his territory. But that was different. I just nodded. Sakura eyed me more. Maybe she thinks she didn't convince me which was partly true. "If it keeps bothering you, then just talk to him. It will ease your worry." She added. I smiled reassuringly at her. Then she clapped her hands together. "Alright, let's begin our little meeting. Looks like the bitch just finished her lewd dancing." Little meeting? She scowled at Ino which was waving her goodbye to the blonde boy, or maybe a see-you-later wave. The said bitch noticed the pink-haired girl's scowl.
"What? I'm not taken. Can you blame me if I'm free to shake my hips and bitch myself? Oh please mother." She rolled her eyes at Sakura then smiling at me. "That's a pretty hottie, nee Ten-chan? He'll wait for me and we'll have a little woo-woo." She laughed at her words. Hinata blushed.
"He looks familiar. I think I've seen him before." Ino grinned devilishly at me.
"Ah. Maybe a quickie?"
"No. Neji has an exclusive pass on my pussy." She pouted like a fifth grade.
"You guys were like married woman. What's with the 'I am taken' sign on your heads?"
"We just don't bitch around like you. You just had a break-up with Kiba three months ago and you just go around swayin' your hips like you didn't give a shit." Ino flinched at Sakura's words. This is bad. They're both a little drunk.
"Don't act like you're my fuckin' mother. Isn't it great that you had a hot Uchiha in your bed that doesn't smell like his fuckin' dog? You don't understand and you don't know what Kiba and I had, so better shut the fuckin' trap off or I'll seal it with my fist." Sakura leapt on her sit but Hinata grabbed her arm first before she swung it to Ino's face. I hurriedly stand between them and sat Ino at my chair. I put a glass of iced water in her hands and urged her to drink it. Sakura exhaled and scoot closer to Hinata letting me sit beside her.
"So, what's with this mini meeting? We should talk before we drunk our asses off." Hinata looked at me like I was some weird creature with two mouths. Am I that weird tonight? Everybody's giving me this weird looks. Sakura spoke and she didn't need to have two mouths for me to gape at her words.
"Shikamaru was missing since this morning."
A/N: Thank you for reading Long Lost Fate Chapter 4. I hoped you enjoyed it. It's been awhile since I've updated, but I promise to work on the next chapter soon. Please review. I need to know your insights. Thank you very much.
