Heyy well yea I need new ideas…so dnt be surprised if this chapter is kinda short or if it sucks major ballz…..
Itachi
Well isn't this interesting…My little brother finally meets one of my academy friends. I guess it was about time he did instead of thinking that the only friends I had were the people on my ANBU team…for the record…Mao is not considered a friend. She's a damn fangirl that I'm doomed to spend time with on missions until I get promoted to captain…
"Yuzuki…Michiko…" he repeated as he bowed to her.
I glanced behind Yuzuki and smiled at the young brunette. Tenten waved back and started to apply some mascara. Heh. Sasuke would tell me all the time that Tenten wasn't one for dressing up. But just by looking at her now, she saves a lot of her make-up for formal gatherings...all of the make up is new. No wonder Sasuke likes her so much. She's a respectable teenager with a lot of common sense and independency. Also, she's a regular jonin. I've met a lot of female ninja who became medical ninja right after they were promoted to Chunnin. According to my records, Tenten is one of the very few female jonin who mastered medical ninjutsu, but never categorized herself as a medical ninja, unlike those pink and blonde haired girls that are chasing after Sasuke all the time. But then again they're just chunnin.
"So, what brings you two here so early?" Yuzuki asked.
I shrugged.
"We just wanted to be ready on time, but in the process, we seem to not have checked the time in a while…" I responded.
Yuzuki laughed. She walked back over to Tenten, who was trying to decide on the right color eye shadow. As she helped the young girl, Sasuke turned to me.
"Aniki, how do you know her?" he whispered.
"I told you, Sasuke. She's a childhood friend who went to the academy with me," I sighed.
"Well, you left out the academy part!" he huffed.
Young teens these days…they get so worked up and turn all angst-ish on you for no reason…well, I should be expecting this from my little brother….Yuzuki cleared her throat.
"Do you two mind waiting outside for a bit? We're gonna be a little while longer." She said.
Sasuke was about to object, but I was able to flick his ear before he could. I agreed and led a glaring Sasuke out the door of Tenten's room. Sasuke punched my arm.
"What the hell was that for?" he yelled.
I guess he doesn't understand the concept of a woman's privacy…I mean it's no surprise he doesn't…
"Sasuke, you do know Tenten's a female right?" I asked.
Sasuke gave me an 'are you serious' look before nodding his head.
"Well then, what do all females do whenever they go out?" I asked.
Sasuke sighed and crossed his arms over his chest.
"They put on make up and get all dressed up…" he said rolling his eyes.
"Exactly. And do you know how long that takes?"
He glared at me again.
"How is this relevant to Tenten being female and you flicking my ear?" he huffed.
Such ignorance! No wonder he hasn't had a girlfriend before!
"Answer me." I commanded.
"I don't know…" he mumbled.
"Well, neither do I. That's why we must wait and give them privacy until they feel comfortable enough to come out and show themselves off." I lectured him.
I could see a light bulb flash. But of course, being the foolish little brother he is, he 'Hn'ed like the Hyuga and looked away. Well sooner or later he'll get it…and when he does…I predict it will be a little late until he realized he actually does like the brunette instead of playing her for a fool to get to Hyuga…as for me…hell I know I got my chances with Yuzuki…
Sasuke
Geezz…what the hell does he think I am? I know about all that girly privacy crap! He doesn't need to lecture me about anything! We waited for about five minutes before Yuzuki emerged from the door. She smiled as she walked over to Itachi. They started to whisper to each other about-I don't really give a shit…moving on- Tenten slowly walked out of the room and closed the door right behind her. She smiled awkwardly at me.
"Well…? What do you think?" she asked turning around.
I must say, that is the sexiest thing standing in front of me I have EVER seen. I walk up to her and around her, looking her up and down just to make her blush cutely. I stood in front of her and took her hand.
"Very lovely," I said.
She smiled and her cheeks became a darker red. She wore a mint green dress and black flats. Her hair was up in one bun, decorated with black and green ribbons. She glanced at Yuzuki.
"We should probably get going…" Tenten said giving my hand a light squeeze.
The older ninja nodded. Itachi offered his arm to Yuzuki, who smiled at him and took it.; her black dress gracefully dancing at her ankles. I noticed that she too was wearing flats…and she's almost Itachi's height…Holy crap this girl is tall!
"You know what I told her?" I could hear Yuzuki talking about some meeting she had with Tsunade earlier today.
Aniki was listening very well actually. I mean- if someone (Sakura) was trying to tell me a whole freaking story, I wouldn't really listen because that person (Sakura) would exaggerate too much. I don't understand why Naruto liked her back in the academy-I mean, it's not like she actually cared about him anyway…
"Sasuke..?"
I blinked. Tenten looked at me with adorable concerned eyes. I smiled and shook my head. The weapons mistress smiled and looked back ahead of us at the older ninja. See, she gets the hint but someone else (Sakura) would rather stalk me until I would show any signs of wanting to talk to her. You all may think that I hate Sakura. Well, I do…more then Ino. Ino doesn't get jealous...sometimes... even though she may overreact… sometimes...
"Sasuke."
Aniki stopped walking. Yuzuki still had her back turned to me, her head bowed. Aniki put an arm around my neck, his lips close to my ear.
"Do me a favor. Go on ahead, You and I have some unexpected business to attend to." He whispered.
I nodded. Not wanting to say anything out loud:
What's going on, Aniki? I thought.
Itachi moved away. He whispered something to Yuzuki. The tall brunette nodded and smiled. She took Tenten's hand and led her down the hall. I could hear the other guests have arrived by the multible female voices echoing off the cream colored walls. Aniki waited. He looked at me again.
"I do not wish to tell you now," he announced.
I glared at him. He never really tells me anything does he...
"Why not? Is it that secret you can't tell me now?" I asked crossing my arms on my chest.
"Not even a hint?"
Itachi shook his head. He turned away and began walking toward the voiced down the hall. I stood there watching him.
"It has something to do with you, but I will tell you later,"
Again with this nonsense huh? Well then...I'm going to find out sooner or later anyway. So why doesn't he tell me now?
It will ruin your night with Tenten-chan.
I flinched at the sudden voice in my head. Itachi has always caught me off guard with that. If it's going to ruin my night why even bring up that he had business in the first place, right? I shook my head. Or...is it that if he told me now, I'll only regret it later on tonight-oh, I see how it is...
I sighed. My brother can be so annoying sometimes-it just makes me so annoyed, so forgive me. I walk down the hall to join the other guests. Right now, I'll make a goal! Starting now, I will give Tenten the best birthday she'll every have! And that Hyuga can see how much of a bastard he really is…
Tenten
Yuzuki had led me to the main hall where everyone was waiting for us. Even Temari was able to show up with Gaara! He looks great in his black and red tux! Hinata and Ino were the first ones who greeted me. Hinata had on a simple sky blue, long sleeved dress that brought out her lavender eyes. Ino wore a yellow summer dress with green flower prints. I was expecting for Sakura to say hello with them, but she seemed a little annoyed by something. Her sparkly pink ball gown is...interesting…and not very flattering...but Temari really out did herself with her chartuse colored cocktail dress and silver pumps. All the guys seemed to be wearing the same thing...black tux...except for Lee, of course! His green suit still fit all this time...
"Now, now guys! Settle down a bit," Yuzuki said.
I looked at her. There had to be some reason why we left the Uchia brothers alone. I can guess that they were talking about important matters. Yuzuki's face was serious when we were walking down the hall. It must be that bad then...
"Hey, Miss Tenten!" a young voice called.
I turned around. A young boy with purple locks and deep scarlet eyes, stood before me wearing a cute little suit holding a bouquet of flowers. He looked familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on his name...
"Oi! Ranmaru!" Naruto appeared from the back of the group.
Ranmaru smiled at him. Lee patted his head.
"Are you well, youthful, Ranmaru? I see your youthfulness in your legs have returned to you!"
Ranmaru nodded. He said thanks to the old lady at the curry shop we left him at a few years back, he was able to regain his strength. He still had his baby face, only he was a tad bit taller but you can tell the boy went through changes by his muscle tone. Ranmaru looked at me.
"Here you go, Miss Tenten!" he handed me the bouquet of flowers.
"Aw, thank you, Ranmaru!" I hugged him.
Obaa-san back at the Curry of Life shop really whipped him into shape. He seems to be quiet the gentlemen now. I smiled at him. Ranmaru smiled back. He looked around the group.
"Uhm...where's Neji?" he asked.
I looked at my friends. They shrugged. I wonder why he isn't here. He usually comes to group outings, but also he never accepts an invitation and not show up. He's too much of a gentlemen to do that. Hinata coughed. We all looked at her.
"Uhm...Neji-nii is undergoing a meeting...with father..." she said quietly.
Yuzuki gave a grunt. She knew very well about the Hyugas. I remember one of Hinata's cousins from the main branch talked about Yuzuki when I last visited. I just shrug. All well. It's not like I can do anything about it. Hiashi has more important things to worry about then his nephew's activities out side of the Hyuga council...
"Oh, hello, Sasuke!" Sakura waved passed me.
We all turned. Sasuke was walking down the hall with Itachi right next to him. He didn't look at her. I know he doesn't like Sakura very much...but Itachi said hello to them at least. He looked at Ranmaru. The young boy got wide-eyed and back up a few steps. It was obvious he knew that Itachi was part of the Akatsuki...key word: 'was'. But I still think that Ranmaru is afraid because of the Sharingan, even though I have no idea what his weaknesses are when it comes to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu...
I can hear mumbles coming from down the hall where Sasuke and Itachi are. They've been there for quiet a while...
"Wait Tenten, what happen to the navy blue dress we picked out?" Temari asked.
Oh...that was a disaster...
"Well, the zipper kind of broke when I was putting it on and Yuzuki had to help me pick out another dress. So we found this one," I explained.
Ino sighed. She shook her head knowing what it's like to have wardrobe malfunctions.
"It's alight. I mean at least that was the second dress you liked." she said.
I glanced at Sakura. She was standing very close to Sai, who was looking somewhere else. She's been trying to get attention from people lately, but that's nothing new. I glanced at the brothers. The older Uchia had a smile plastered on his face, while Sasuke looked intensively at the back of his head.; almost like he wanted to burn a whole into it. Naruto and Lee greeted them and began walking off to the grand hall. Once again, Sasuke offered me his arm that I took with a smile. I can sense Sakura's envy becoming thick as we speak...
"Hello, Tenten-sama!" Shizune greeted her with a bow.
I nodded. Shizune opened the doors to the grand hall. We all entered and gazed at the sight. A big disco ball lighted up the room, there were tables of food and drinks, and all of my presents were stacked onto a side table. This is the first time I have seen the grand hall decorated like this. Normally Tsunade held meetings here, but this is just amazing. All the tables were decorated with candle lit center pieces and had fine china placed on place mats.
"Wooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh..." Naruto and Ranmaru awed at the sight.
"Just don't destroy my hall, Uzumaki."
We turned. Tsunade stood at the doorway dressed her regular clothing. She glared at Naruto. When it came to Naruto, "mom" was very strict about how things were suppose to be. She would have to snap at him every time she gave his team a mission briefing. It is very entertaining, but we all know it's just Naruto trying to piss her off. And it always worked.
"Yes, Grandma..." Naruto mumbled.
Tsunade glared at him for a moment then walked up to me. She told me to have a good time and she'll see me after the party. As she walked out, Sasuke grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor. It's very surprising to see him very outgoing like this. Soon enough everyone else followed. A slow dance came on and I sighed. Dancing with Sasuke is nice, but I mean, Neji's still not here. I do hope he comes. I look into Sasuke's eyes. There was a faint twinkle, and not because of the disco ball. It's almost like it's been there the whole time. I felt his hand slide up to my neck, my hand falling onto his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Tenten. Hyuga's going to turn up. Just enjoy this time now." he whispered into my ear.
I felt his hand slide back to my waist, holding me close as we sway to the slow music. It's nice when he holds me like this, it just feels right. I side glance at Itachi. He was holding Yuzuki very close. As in "needs a condom" close. Their hips were basically touching each other.
"It's dinner time!" I hear Shizune exclaim as the music becomes fast again and we head to our tables. The food was served for us. Naruto and Lee started arguing over who can eat he most, which led to a contest. Of course Lee saw it as training, like always, and Naruto...is just Naruto... I pushed aside all my food, looking around for Neji. I haven't seen him in a while. The only thing I got from him was those beautiful blue roses. There was no way he could to miss this. He always shows up to gatherings, even when he doesn't want to. Sasuke sat beside me. I could feel him looking at me. It's very uncomfortable...
"Hey, Miss Tenten. Can you open my present first?" Ranmaru asked.
I nodded. The young boy gave a small 'yes' before draining his drink and retuning to the dance floor to dance with Ino, who found him to be very adorable. He has changed so much and yet he's still so cute. I look around for Yuzuki. She was talking seriously to Itachi in the corner. I side glance at Sasuke. He was looking at them too, with a pained expression on his face. Wait...is he twitching? Holy crap! Now I'm afraid to put a hand on his shoulder. He's staring so intensely, you can see the pain in his face how much he wants to know what they're talking about. It's like, how Ino would say, 'failing at having an orgasm'...I know, weird right?
"Hey, Tenten," Sasuke said.
I looked at him.
"Let's go out side." he stood holding out his hand.
I nod. Going out to get some air is a good idea. I take his hand and we go out to the hall way. We walk to a window and stand there for a bit.
"So, uh...Can I ask you something?" he asked awkwardly.
I nodded. Sasuke cleared his throat and leaned in closer. I blinked. His hand made it's way to my shoulder. He looked into my eyes.
"What...is so special about Hyuga?"
I looked down. I know exactly what he means. But why does it bother him so much that I'm always worried about Neji.
"Why do you care?" I asked.
Sasuke shrugged. He moved closer. Even though I felt like I should push him away and tell him to stop being so jealous, but I won't. I kind of like him like this. He's so calm, and the look in his eyes is so peaceful.
"I thought that-"
"What? That he likes me?"
Sasuke smirked. He glanced down the hall. His smirk formed into a frown. I felt his grip tighten on my shoulder.
"I have to tell you something, Tenten," he growled.
This is awkward...since when did he become so...
"Tenten, I have to admit. Hyuga likes you."
What?
"But, I like you too, more then he ever will in fact."
He...does? I looked at him disbelievingly...but he was telling the truth. Sasuke kept glancing behind me down the hall. I can hear foot steps.
"Sasuke maybe we should go-"
Sasuke grunted and pressed his lips against mine. His hands rapped around my waist. I can't help but squirm. My brain finally registered that he was kissing me, and I was kissing him back. It...felt good, just standing here with him. I rapped my arms around his neck. Sasuke feels so warm. I don't know how long we were standing here, but I heard the foot steps stop, but the music still playing in the grand hall.
"Ahem..."
We turned around. Uh-oh...
"Uchia..."
"Hyuga..."
I glanced between the two of them. Sasuke pulled me closer and glared at him. Neji glared back as always.
"You missed your chance, Hyuga. She's mine." he said.
I glanced at Neji. His ice block expression went sad.
"Neji-" he looked away from me. He turned his back to us and sighed.
"Just...don't hurt her, Uchia...I'll kill you if you do." he said and walked away.
Yeah…so it sucks. U can just admit that...uhm yea sorry it took so freaking long. High school is a pain with homework so yea…ill do chpt 6 as soon as I can well yea review! ~ RayRay-chan :3
