Chapter 19

Okay, I love Hinata's restaurant.

It's absolutely stunning. She designed it by herself.

Neji and I are walking into it right now.

I think Neji has never been here before. He looks...amazed.

The restaurant is called "Touch with Nature"

I know, you probably think it's a really, really stupid name, but if you were here...you would just...gasp. It's beautiful.

Touch with Nature. Her restaurant is completely in touch with nature.

And when I say completely, I mean completely.

Instead of a normal wooden floor, it's grass.

Beautifully furnished tables are placed neatly everywhere and there's a lake running down the middle of the place. With a waterfall and bridges so you can walk accross the lake. There are flowers patches here and there as well.

Anything is possible with Hinata.

My favourite table is right next to the waterfall because they're always bunnies and butterflies there.

You're probably thinking: bunnies?! Well, yeah.

Touch with Nature remember? She has tamed animals too.

I love Hinata's restaurant...have I mentioned the trees yet?

Okay, I'll tell-

"I had no idea..." Neji exhales sharply as he looks around.

Damn that interrupter. Well, better be nice to my boyfriend right?!

"Yup." I smile. " Cool huh?"

Suddenly, a little, white bunny bounces up to Neji and stands up.

"Awww...Neji pet it." I say, pushing him.

"Hn." He doesn't budge.

"Neji, c'mon! It's asweet, little bunny!" Neji still doesn't move.

"Neji! Pet. The. Bunny." I say, glaring at him.

"Fine..." He mutters as he crouches down and pets in. The bunny lets him pet him for a few seconds before bouncing away.

"Happy now?" Neji looks at me.

"Yes." I smile.

Suddenly-

"Neji! Tenten!" Hinata comes out of the trees, waving at us.

Yup. The kitchen is somewhere in the trees...so we can't see it.

"You're the first ones here!" Hinata beams at us. " Well, except for Naruto of course. He's helping out in the kitchen."

Naruto...in the kitchen?

"So..." I say. " Where are we sitting?"

"Oh..." Hinata smiles devilishly at us. "Follow me."

She leads us to the waterfall. For a second, I think we're going to sit at my favourite table, but I see people sitting on it already, chatting happily.

Then, she actually walks in the waterfall.

"Hinata, are you crazy!" I say as I rush in after her. " You'll get wet!"

I jump through the watefall, closing my eyes, excepting cold water to fall on me.

"Tenten!" I can hear Neji jumping through the waterfall after me.

Suddenly, I land on land.

Wait a second...why am I not wet?

I open my eyes slowly and gasp. There's a table inside the waterfall?!

I look around and see a circle of water surrounding us. " Wow..." I say breathily.

Neji lands next to me. " Wow. This isn't something you see everyday." Neji says.

Hinata giggles and says, " Well, you guys can stay here. I have to go bac kto the kitchen."

She's about to leave, but I grab her arm.

"Hinata..." I hesitate. " Is Sakura coming tonight?"

"Yes." Hinata answers, looking confused.

Then, she gasps and says, " Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I forgot!"

Shit. If Sakura comes she'll blabber to Neji...

I told Hinata about it. And Ino...but they know about girly revenge and cats fights and so on...

But Sakura got in loads of trouble from Tsunade since she was in charge of me...I feel so bad...

"Anyways, I really have to go! I'm sorry for inviting Sakura and Sasuke, but they're our friends too!" Hinata jumps through the waterfall.

I can hear her calling, " See you at dinner!"

Then me and Neji are left alone.

"Sakura and Sasuke? What's the matter with them?" He raises an eyebrow.

I sigh. Do I really have to tell him?

Grumbles...

Fine.

"Well Neji, you see..." Then I launch into the story of "The Incident in the Hospital."


Ten mintues later

"And now, I'm scared Sakura hates me." I finish off, breathing in deeply.

There. I've done it. I told Neji!

I feel so proud of myself...yet I'm still nervous.

I'm expecting Neji to shout and me or get mad, but to my amazement, he laughs.

Neji is laughing.

"I can't believe you Tenten!" He doubles over, still laughing. " I wish I was there to see it!"

"Neji!" I say, frustratedly, "I feel bad about it! You can be nice to me about it!"

I think Neji was about to go all serious, but I never got a chance to really know because-

Ino, Shikamaru, Sasuke and Sakura walked through the waterfall.

Silence.

"Hi Sakura..." I say awkwardly, waving.

Surprisingly, she smiles at me. " Hey Tenten, Neji."

Wait a second...am I missing something here?

She doesn't hate me?

"Hey Tenten!" Ino hugs me tightly. " Wassup!?"

"...nothing much?" I say, confused at why she hugged me.

Mabe she ate chocolate, Ino gets hyper when she eats chocolate...

"Same here!"

"Troublesome women..." Shikamaru mutters under his breathe.

Ino turns all defensive. "What did you say!?"

"Uhhh...peace?"


One hour later...

Lol, I'm happy we came.

This is so fun. Like one big family hanging out together.

We're all drinking champagne and the food is just delicious!

"You know what?" Naruto says. " I watched this thing that said ugly kids grow up to be beautiful adults. Good thing I was ugly when I was a kid huh?" Naruto smiles at us.

"You're still ugly." Sasuke states dryly.

Everyone bursts out laughing while Hiata tries to stop Naruto from attacking Sasuke.

"Hey Tenten, remember that time in english class?" Sakura suddenly says. " The time that remote control wasn't working and we had to go the office to check ask the guy for the teacher?"

"Huh?" I say. Then I remember.

"Oh, yeah!" I start laughing again. " That was so funny!!"

"What?" Naruto asks, his anger at Sasuke forgotten.

"Well, you see..." Sakura says.


Flashback

"Sakura, Tenten. This remote control isn't working, can you please go to the office and see what's wrong with it?" Kurenai sensei asked me and Sakura, handnig me the remote control.

"Okay." We say in unison.

We walk out of the class room, Sakura first and go to the office.

"Hi." I say t othe guy behind the table in the office. " This remote control doesn't seem to be working..." I hand it over to him.

"Yup. Not working." Sakura echoes.

The guy flips the remote control over to it's side, then laughs. " You do know there is an on and off button on the side right?"

"Oh." I say.

"Oh." Sakura says.

"Well...thanks." I say sheepishly as the guy hands back the remote control back to me. " We'll be sure to remember that."

Sakura and I exit the office, laughing like crazy.

End Flashback


Everyone is laughing by the end of the story. Sakura retold it really well.

Even Sasuke managed a small smile and the edge of his mouth.

Then Hinata glances at her wrist and gasps.

"OH MY GOD! It's 11:30?!!??? I have to close!" She gets up and runs out of the waterfall.

Her long hair flying out behind her.

"Heh?" All remaining people look after her.

"Well..." Naruto breaks the silence. " We can go help her clean up the restaurant."

"Okay!" Sakura and I say eagerly at the same time.

"Yeah Girl Power!" Ino punches the air.

The other guys sigh, knowing if they don't help us clean, they're gonna get beaten up real bad later.

"Lets go then..." Sasuke say dejectedly, glaring at Naruto. (maybe because he was the one who came up with the idea...)

Aanyways, that's what we did the whole night. Help Hinata clean up the restaurant.

It was really fun!


This chapter was short, but I think it was one of my nice ones...

Oh, and I need your help.

Me and my big sister, Vampy285 ( I know some of you read her stories.) are going to do a collab fic. But, we can't come up with an idea, so if you have any ideas, please feel free to PM me or leave a review! It would be really helpful if you did.

Oh! I almost forgot.

Please read and review:)
