Geez. Will my GaaIno Matchmaking EVER satisfy me?
That and I'm having the HUGEST writer's block.
So, I apologize for lack of updates. I must continue writing like heck if I wish to meet my quota. Got my hair cut and this was what inspired this one. TOLD FROM A POINT OF VIEW THIS TIME! And this is the first time i wrote on fanfiction from a POV I believe...
I groaned as my cousin dragged me along to my friend's salon.
I can't believe my stupid cousin wanted all my long, silky, perfect hair cut off for her inauguration.
And sure, I'm happy for her. She worked so hard to get strong for the clan.
"Come on Neji-nii-san!" Hinata cried, thrusting me into a shop.
I glance around. The place is decorated Chinese-style and has various weapons lying around. Suddenly I hear a voice cry, "Hinata-chan!"
A pretty woman with cocoa eyes and hair up in two buns runs over to us.
Hinata shouts, "Tenten-chan!"
Geez, my cousin is loud after years of training. I cover my poor Hyuuga ears that are used to quiet. Hinata and Tenten embrace. Then Hinata gestures over to me.
Tenten steps forward, circling around me and glancing up and down until she looked up, right up into my eyes.
She raises an eyebrow and smirks before turning back to Hinata.
"Shockingly, the long-hair look works on him…" Tenten tells my cousin, whose jaw drops.
"Tenten-chan!" she shouts, anger obvious in her voice, "If you don't cut his hair than I'll tell that guy you saw at the Hyuuga ball 4 years ago you thought he was hot!"
Ouch. Why did I ever suggest Uzumaki Naruto to be the one to give Hinata-sama loud-voice lessons for years. If I would have known in the future it would mean I would need hearing aids…
Tenten pales, "You wouldn't".
Hinata nods slightly and hands Tenten scissors, which she pushes away.
I widen my eyes as the hairdresser takes out a kunai knife from the pouch holding various hair items and holds it to my silky hair. I snap my eyes shut.
Then I hear a, "Oh, Tenten-chan…"
When I open my eyes, Tenten is standing right in front of me, dangling about an inch or two of the bottom of my hair in my face.
Hinata takes my hand and walks out of the door.
"Wait… Hinata-sama? What hot guy?"
Hinata smirks, "Do you remember a girl with long, brown hair and a Chinese-styled dress?"
I grimace. I remember, all right. Hinata's guest. She was nice. We talked awhile. But...
She was the girl who danced with every single one of my male relatives, EXCEPT ME.
"What about her?" I ask, hiding my slight disapproval.
"She liked the only guy she didn't dance with." Hinata says.
My eyes widen at the realization as I let my cousin drop my hand and I run back to Tenten's hair place.
Hinata giggles, "Neji-nii-san. You sure are dense with women. And you are lucky to have such wonderful female relatives to help you out with that."
Tenten looks up at the sound of the bell of a customer to see me.
I think of Shikamaru's words when he started dating that blonde monster that is terrifying when mad. 'Stay casual.'
"Hey, am I 'hot guy'?" I ask, casually.
She blushes slightly as I raise an eyebrow.
"Your blush tells me you are hiding something. I am 'hot guy'" I say, casually.
Tenten sighs, "Yeah."
I smirk, thinking of something witty to say, like Shikamaru, as he is the only one of my friends with a girlfriend.
"You know, I never got that dance. Every male there except me."
She looks up and our eyes lock as Tenten smirks back, "We should fix that shouldn't we?"
I take her hand in the lobby of her hair salon, "We should."
Fluffy. So very fluffy. So much angst nowadays. Not that I hate angst, because I don't. It just makes me cry. And when I cry, I can't stop and breathe funny. So it's not that I hate angst, because I don't, I can just barely ever read it.
Hinted either ShikaIno or ShikaTema, the two blondes of Naruto. I left it as it could be either.
I need to pick up the pace. And do something satisfying with GaaIno Matchmaking.
