Piano
"She was working in the bridal shop in flashing Queens. Till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those, crushing scenes.
Where was she to do? Where was she to go? She was out on her fannnnnnyyyyy!
So over the bridge from Queens to the Sheffield's door. She was there to sell make-up, the father saw more.
She had star! She had flair! She was there!
So that's how she became, the nannyyyy!
Who could have guessed that-" (A/N: Anyone who has watched "The Nanny" would recognise this.)
"Right there! See that piano?" Sakura asked, pressing the pause button on the remote.
"Mhm... what of it?" Ino and I replied.
"It's similar to the one I have in my house!"
"Ok... so why did you call us over?"
"IT'S A BRAND NEW PIANO!"
Her shriek killed my ears. What's so fascinating about a piano?
I heard Ino squealing in the other room.
"It's so gorgeous!" she said.
"I know, right?" Sakura admired.
"Can you play it?" I asked, walking in.
"No... but I bet Sasuke-kun can!"
Ino and Sakura giggled, like the fangirls they are.
-At Sasuke's home-
Sakura was holding a bag of tomatoes.
Ino was almost crying in delight.
I was bored. Get this over with.
Ding. Dong.
The door swung open without any hesitation.
Sasuke was standing there in all his glory.
The girls beside me swooned, and almost fainted at such close proximity to their beloved "SASUKE-KUN!"
I gathered the tomatoes that Sakura almost dropped and offered them to Sasuke.
"What are these for?" he asked.
"Don't ask me. Ask them," I replied, pointing to the floor.
"Hn."
"I think it was something about a piano...?"
"I'm listening."
"Well, we were watching 'The Nanny' on TV, and Sakura pointed out a brown piano in the theme music part."
"So why come here?"
"Can you play the piano?"
"No."
"Ok then. Sorry to bother you. Keep the tomatoes! Ja ne!"
The door swung shut.
I grabbed Sakura and Ino by the ankles and dragged them back to Sakura's home.
A moment later, they woke up.
"SASUKE-KU-... eh? Where's Sasuke-kun, Tennie-chan?" Sakura asked."
"We left half an hour ago, Sakura."
"Did he know how to play the piano? Did you ASK? Or where you thinking of his. Muscular. Ripped. Fantas-tic," Ino trailed off with a dreamy expression on her face.
"... OK! Yes, I asked. He couldn't."
"Couldn't what?"
"Play piano."
"Oh that's right."
"So, who to ask next?" Sakura exclaimed.
"Let's ask Lee!" I snickered.
Sakura groaned, "Alright."
"He's not that bad you know. Just... Gai-like?"
"Che"
- At the training grounds-
"Hey Lee!"
"TENTEN-CHAN! INO-CHAN! SAKURA-CHAN! HAVE YOU COME TO LEARN THE WAYS OF BEING YOUTHFUL?!" (Guess who?)
"Um, no... we were just passing through... Ok, back to what we were doing!" Sakura said, flustered.
"YOSH! GOODBYE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!"
We ran away. Far far away.
"Now who would know someone who can play piano, won't complain, is good at everything, and who isn't Lee?" Ino asked.
They looked at me. "What?"
-At the Hyuuga Manor-
"We came to see Neji!" Sakura said.
"Sorry, no fangirls."
"WHAT?"
"No fangirls."
I blew up, "DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK I'M A FANGIRL? I'VE BEEN HERE SO MANY TIMES AND YOU STILL CAN'T RECOGNISE ME, YOSHINO-SAN?"
The guard said nothing.
"Tenten-san, you can come. The other two must stay out."
"Go on, Tennie-chan. We'll wait outside. You bring him here," the other two whispered.
"Fine."
I stalked in.
Knock knock knock.
The door opened, revealing a dark haired, pale-eyed girl.
"Hiya Hinata-chan!"
"Hello Tenten-chan."
"Is Neji here?"
"Hai. I will take you to his room."
"Ok."
Knock knock knock
"Neji-san. Tenten chan is here to see you."
The door opened a crack.
"Hi, Neji!"
"Tenten."
"I will leave you now," Hinata said.
"Can I go in?" I asked.
"O...k?"
"Yay!" I barged into his room.
It was the first time I had actually ever been in his room. White walls, a white table, black carpet. A black bed with white bed sheets was near the window, which was obscured by black curtains. A grey lamp was on top of the table, and many pieces of paper were strewn along it's length.
Boring much?
The thing that actually caught my eye, was a large black piano (again?) which was situated on one wall of his room.
"You play?" I enquired.
"Not much. Just for fun."
"But you can still play right?"
"I guess."
"Play something!"
"No."
"Aw, is Neji-chan embarrassed?
"Fine."
"Yay!"
He gracefully made his way to the piano and sat on the white chair.
After playing a fast scale, he began to play. And sing.
o.o.o
You. You caught me. Then left me, without a word.
Then, I saw you and you walked away.
A few years. Later. I came across your picture.
A star. The opposite of me.
I saw you, many times, after that.
Though, it was always from a long distance.
I loved you. But you didn't even know me.
When I fell, you never came back to catch me.
o.o.o
I was left stunned, "what song was that?"
"I made it."
"Who was it to?"
"The girl I love."
"You love a girl?"
"Why is it so hard to believe?"
"Who is it?"
"That's my business."
I must say that I felt a teeny bit jealous. Ok, stuff that. I've loved him for ages now. So, as much as I hate to say it, I was really jealous.
"Do I know her?"
"Very well."
"Is she pretty?"
"To me."
"Sakura or INO?"
"No."
"HINATA?!"
"No."
That left me baffled. Those three were the only ones who I knew well.
"What does her name start with?"
"T."
"Last name?"
"No last name."
"WHAT?! THERE CAN'T BE ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A LAST NAME!"
Neji raised his eyebrows.
"Tenten. May I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"What's your full name?"
"Tenten..."
"Continue."
"... Damn, you got me."
Neji stepped closer. "What does your name start with?"
"T."
"Do you know yourself?"
"Probably better than any one else."
He was uncomfortably close now.
"Figured it out yet?"
It can't be...
"TSUNADE?!"
"... oh for godness sake."
He leaned in and planted a kiss on my lips. And leaned back again. Too short. Damn.
"Now do you know?"
"Temari."
"..." Neji glared.
"Fine, fine. I'm just joking around."
"Good."
He leaned in again, for a second kiss. I was happy happy happy happy happy happy ha-
"TENTEN! STOP MAKING OUT! WE CAN SEE YOU! HURRY UP AND GET YOUR ASS AND NEJI'S OUTTA THERE!"
Aw crap.
