I'd Like Two Buns To Go Please- Neji's Crush

As I walked to the saloon I thought of that girl. I wasn't really hungry, but I thought they would be like tourists- staying for one day and leaving the next. I know it's just a minor infatuation, so I'll take my mind off things. What to have for lunch… Buns. Damn. What color is that horse… Brunette. Shit. I really hate this… But somehow I like it. I-"NEJI LETS GO TO LUNCH TOGETHER AT THE SALOON!!!" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! "Oh, its just you, Naruto." "So come on. Lets get going. Move out", said my hyperactive friend.

That's how fast you can get someone to come to lunch with you in Konoha. Naruto, as I said before, is my friend… I just don't know how our friendship came to be. I guess it was back when- "HURRY UP NEJI!",my friend who I was just about to tell a story about yelled. Oh, he's already there.

So Naruto and I went to the saloon for lunch. Typical. At least I was going to get to see and possibly meet Bun Girl, as I decided to call her. She seems so pure and sweet and ge- is that Bun Girl playing darts!?! AND IS THAT KANKURO-BAKA HITTING ON HER!?!?!

Sure enough Kankuro was standing next to Bun Girl, playing darts with her with that perverted smile of his and staring at her butt!?! $#! I need a drink.

Almost as soon as Naruto and I went in, he ran off to the seat next to where the navy haired girl was sitting. Gaara came to his table quickly and Naruto ordered a beef ramen. Pretty soon, before I even got to sit down, he was slurping away. The navy haired girl sitting next to him was stealing glances at him and blushing. Even though she didn't notice, I saw that Naruto was glancing at her too.

I sat down and watched Bun Girl play darts. She was getting all bulls eyes and Kankuro was nearly missing the board. I watched hopelessly and then, it struck me--- I should ask if I could play! Genius!

I jumped up and walked over, coolly of course. Fast, but not to fast. I also pretended to not be interested in Bun Girl. Charm, breath mint (which I discreetly took from the mint jar in the front as I came in), perfect.

Just as Kankuro was getting ready to throw his dart, I came in and said, "you two seem pretty good, mind if I play"? Ah yes, perfect.

Even though I was really just interested in what Bun Girl had to say, Kankuro spoke first, "sure Neji, we were just getting started." That was how it began, I threw an almost perfect bulls eye and gave Bun Girl the question to begin all conversations "I'm Neji, what's your name?" Brilliant. Say it, I'm a genius. Bun girl answered, "what a nice name, the names Tenten. Tenten the weapons master!" Tenten said. What a beautiful name. That might just be the hormones talking.

She woke me from my thoughts by flicking her wrist and landing a perfect bulls eye… Right next to mine.

She reached for another dart but there was no more. Kankuro was the same. I had taken mine from Kankuro's pile so we were finished with the game.

Tenten looked up and said "I'm going to eat" and just as she was about to go sit with the navy haired girl Kankuro said "I've got no work to do, how about I-"KANKURO STOP FLIRTING AND CLEAN THE DISHES!!!" Baki yelled then he came up to us and pulled Kankuro away by the ear.

Finally, Tenten and I are alone at last. She muttered "weird" under her breath and went back to her table.

I stood there for a while and then walked to where Naruto was sitting. Oh yeah, Naruto was sitting with Tenten's friend so I could sit with Tenten again, only this time without Kankuro. Thank you, Naruto.

I sat down and once again I was greeted. "Hi Neji" said Tenten. "HI NEJI!!! THIS IS HINATA!!! SHE BOUGHT ME ALL THIS RAMEN AND-

"Did you just say Hinata?" I asked curiously.

"N-neji-kun, i-is t-that y-you?"

I can't believe this, first I meet the love of my life, then I get reunited with my cousin who went with my uncle so long ago.This must be a dream it doesn't seem real. It is to heavenly to be true I can hardly-"dope, Hyuuga I thought you two were going to help me make maps to track down Itachi you-who is that?"

Oh it's Sasuke, I'm definitely not dreaming.

Luckily, Sasuke wasn't looking at Tenten, but at one of Hinata's other friends, the pink haired one. Weird.

Is he drooling? Weirder.

Hinata saw who he was looking at and shyly whispered "O-oh, t-that's S-sakura."

This was strange, Naruto was glancing at Hinata, I am hopelessly in love with Tenten, and Sasuke appears to be attracted to Sakura (that or he somehow fell asleep very suddenly with his eyes open and drools during slumber). What's next, Shikamaru?

At that moment Shikamaru walked in. Ironic.

Hinata's blonde friend with a ponytail looks up and I swear, there are hearts in her eyes. She walks over and before I can get a word into him, she says "Hello! I'm Ino Yamanaka. What's your name?"

…Wow… Shikamaru didn't walk away muttering… The long silence is broken when he says "Shikamaru Nara… Troublesome…"

… As soon as he said "troublesome", Ino was steaming. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TROUBLESOME? ARE YOU SAYING I'M ANNOYING?"

Her angry face made her look like the spawn of Satin. Evil. Shikamaru is smarter then that though, his brain isn't in his pineapple hair. He knows trouble when he sees it. "No. I'm not calling you troublesome, I just said troublesome because… Um… That's what say all the time?"

" Oh. Okay then. Good… Why don't you all sit down so we can eat", once again Ino seems to be chipper and happy.

"YA!!! IT'S ON SHIKAMARU!!! DATTEBAYO!!!"

"Troublesome"… Sasuke knocked over Ino so he could get the seat next to Sakura.

She was pissed, anyone could see that, but this moved her next to Shikamaru so she seemed okay with it. The girl with four short ponytails looked lonely. She was sitting at the end of the table watching everyone.

I had a seat next to Hinata and Tenten though, so I wasn't about to move to keep her company.

While we were eating, a white dog came and started watching us. Especially the girl with four pig tails who I had learned was named Temari.

I thought the big white dog that had barely fit through the door looked familiar, but Naruto recognized the dog as "AKAMARU!!!" Just as he said that, Kiba (the police's head investigator), walked in.

Akamaru ran over and started licked him.

Kiba and Akamaru are so close, I swear they would have started licking each other if they weren't in public.

Kiba invited himself to our table and sat in the empty space next to Temari. He started a conversation, a Temari looked as though she could have kissed him right then and there.

Akamaru was sitting and letting Temari pet him. He must have been thinking something likethis is Kiba's new friend! I have to help him impress her! Pretty soon we all finished eating. Before we left though, Hinata said she had an announcement.

In a surprisingly strong voice she said "seeing how happy everyone is here, we will stay for a few more weeks, I, as the head priestess on this journey, do state it. We will stay in the upstairs of the boarding part of this house. I must catch up with Neji after dinner."

Tenten seemed very happy about this.

Her friends were just as ecstatic but I only have eyes for Tenten.

As desert was ending, Sakura made a suggestion (I assume this is because she thinks Sasuke is hot), "I think that we should each go on a date with someone at this table".

Ino nodded vigorously, Temari shot a sly look at Kiba, Kiba shot the look back at Temari, I nodded, Tenten blushed, Hinata's pupiless eyes lit up and she blushed and nodded while staring at Naruto, Naruto was the only one who screamed though. "YES! I WANNA GO A DATE WITH HINATA-CHAN!!!"

So it was settled. Ino was to go with Shikamaru, Kiba was to go with Temari, Sakura was to go with Sasuke, and Naruto was to go with Hinata. She fainted.

I was worried about her but the girls said it was normal and that she always did it, she woke up in five minutes anyway.

Of course, the most important fact was that I was going on a date with Tenten.
