Lucky Star

Chapter 3- Banana Nut Bread

It was another day in the Lucky Star; with happiness and peacefulness of the shop able to relax anyone SLAM…Well there went the happiness and peacefulness. Wave it goodbye, it won't be coming back any time soon.

"I HATE HIM!!"

"…Tenten, calm down, you're scaring everyone again." Used to it, Sakura continued on with her task, how exactly do you fit all those napkins through that tiny hole?

"Well, why isn't it working on him!?!" Tenten yanked at her hair and started pacing the shop, that was quickly emptying out, due to the fear of losing their sanity and cake.

"Him as in Neji, right?"

"Who else would I call him?"

"…hmm…let's see, every other guy in the world?" Sakura sighed at glanced at her; frazzled…check, angry…check, about to kill a bunny rabbit…more like a tiger, but check, "Let me guess, Neji had his "Let's irritate Tenten to losing her sanity day?"

"No, it's more like, "let's torture Tenten into handing over her delectable cake day."" Eyebrow raised, Sakura just stared at Tenten. Just before Sakura could respond, the door opened with less of a bang than last time, "Hey everyone!" Tenten paused in the middle of her pacing to see who it was, "Hey, Ino. I would talk, but I'm too busy pacing right now."

"…It's "let's irritate Tenten into punching a brick wall day" isn't it?" Ino asked.

"No, apparently it's more like "let's torture Tenten into handing over her delectable cake day" but I could have sworn it was "let's irritate Tenten to losing her sanity day."" Both Ino and Sakura looked toward's Tenten, Tenten looked back.

"…"

"…AAAAHHHH!!!!!" Tenten got fed up and left towards the kitchen. Sakura and Ino looked at each other.

"I think it's "let's torture Tenten into losing her sanity day.""

"I agree, he hasn't done that day in a while."

"You know Hyuga, he likes to mix things up once in a while."

---In the kitchen---

"Hinata!!!" Tenten ran into the kitchen looking for Hinata. She found Hinata decorating a cake.

"There's your cake, leave me alone." Hinata was glaring at the cake and writing mean letters in red.

"…wow…you never do that. What's wrong?" Tenten looked over Hinata shoulder, she could read, "I hate Kin to fu-"

"I'm going to guess but this has to do with Kin." Tenten warily glanced at the cake, "Are you hoping to poison her with the cake you made?"

"Darn! How did you guess? Was it obvious?" Hinata glared at the cake, the cake started to whimper underneath her wrath.

"…Just a little. Well there goes my complaining hour. I guess it's your ranting hour." Tenten looked at the clock, "Starting…now." Hinata glanced at her with a look that said, "how do I even know you, again?"

"I suppose that coming from you is god's gift, but that's alright I don't need an hour. Let me guess, Neji had is "Let's torture Tenten into losing her sanity day?""
Tenten stared in amazement, "How did you guess?"

Hinata shrugged, "Neji looked entirely too happy for himself this morning." She gave her an narrowed look, "he was cackling." Tenten's eyes turned into saucers, "No, the last time that happened, he came to the shop and tortured me!" Hinata just sighed.

"He wasn't torturing you. He was just eating cake in front of your face." Tenten gave her the "duh" face, "and that's torture."

"You know, Neji wouldn't be doing all this to you if you hadn't dropped cake and your coffee on him the first day you met him. He's really a seminice guy on his nice days."

"That are few and rare in between, but it totally wasn't my fault!" Tenten waving her arms, "I totally blame my genetics."
"…you do realize your cousin is an Olympic gymnast, right?"

"You do realize that your cousin has mental issues and enjoys torturing little girls, right?"

"You do realize that you're not a little girl right?"

"You do realize that I'm not exactly humongous, right?"

"You do realize that you're trying to insult yourself, right?"

"You do realize that both of you are irritating us, right?" Ino asked when she poked her head in the kitchen, "We can hear you from the counter and if I hear one more "You do…" I will shoot you." Ino gave them one more glare and then told Tenten, "I'm expecting you on the register in 5 minutes."

Tenten pleaded with her, "That's not enough time to finish this wonderful cake Hinata baked me!"

"Don't make me get the boss down here." Ino warned, Tenten winced, "Fine I'm coming." She grabbed her slice of cake.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, Neji's here with his whole crew." Tenten sighed and turned around and grabbed something else, "Well then I'll also be needing this."

"You do know that's the poison cake right?" Hinata asked.
"Exactly." Tenten marched out of the kitchen and left Ino and Hinata staring after her, Ino glanced at Hinata expecting an answer. Hinata just looked at her with well trained innocent eyes. Ino shook her head and sighed, "I'm not going to ask why there's a poison cake and why there's Kin's name on it." Hinata sighed. Ino continued, "That's is, until after we close the shop." Hinata mentally cursed.

---O.o o.O---

The two dark shadows were at it again, with dark shadow number one reading his book and dark shadow number two watching the screen rubbing his hands together, "This is going along perfect."

Dark shadow number one looked up, "But you didn't do anything."

"Exactly! I must let the story reveal itself…then I attack!"

While Dark shadow number two cackled and plotted, Dark shadow number one, mumbled to himself, "This must be illegal to do somewhere."

-author note-

I want to thank everyone who has read and or reviewed. That being- gare de lyon -ROAR, kayla, Gabbyrella, and insanetenten. Everyone else, you know what you do. Or else poor Tenten will really lose her mind and give Neji the poison cake and I don't think any of you want to see Neji dead. Or atleast I hope not, that would ruin the balance of things in the Naruto world. Saskue's big ego would takeover the world!! It's now imperative that you review! Before the Naruto world is destroyed!

...Of course I'm joking...or am I? dun dun dun Cackling
