Unexpected Love

Chapter 3 – Dancing Closer

By JuPMod (aka JPMod)
Taking in the image in the full-length mirror, brown eyes scanned the form from head-to-toe and scrutinized the appearance. Every bit of clothing on the body was checked and rechecked, before a small satisfying grin graced the owner’s face.
“I certainly look, as Ino would put it, hot,” mentally proclaimed Tenten at the outfit she was currently wearing. A short-sleeved, button-up, white blouse with lace along all the edges adorned her torso, and it also provided a low neck to display a bit of cleavage. Demin shorts showed off her tight behind and shapely legs, and high-heel, ankle-strapped sandals encased her feet, the high-heels giving more exhibit power to her legs. Overall, the bun-haired woman felt quite sexy in all her femininity, knowing quite well she would be turning many male heads if she walked around Konoha in this outfit.
An appreciative whistle sounded behind her, making Tenten turned to gaze at the platinum blond girl, who was checking her out with light-blue eyes. “You certainly look hot,” she said with a teasing leer of a grin.
Tenten smirked back, right hand on her chocked hip. “That’s what I thought you would have said.” Both laughed together in good humor. Afterward, the Weapons Mistress turned back to the changing room’s mirror to once again examine herself in the clothes she had pulled from the store’s rack.
Currently, she and the rest of her kunoichi friends were in a woman’s clothing store trying on outfits during a rare break from missions or any work for them to be all together this way. Over the years, since the first Chuunin Exam when the Rookie 9 and Team Gai, sans Sasuke, formed the Konoha 11, Tenten, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata, the girls of the group, would occasionally went out, doing many things girls their age would do – dining, talking, and of course, shopping. Temari had joined the four soon after she became the Suna ambassador to Konoha, and it wasn’t long afterward that the five young kunoichi would be known in the Leaf Village as The Kunoichi Five.
Ino, wearing a sleeveless, halter-strapped, one-piece purple dress with high-heel boots, continued to look at her brown-haired friend. “Tenten, if I didn’t know you better, I say you would make one Hell of a hooker.”
“Ignore Blondie there,” Temari’s voice came from behind the curtain of a changing cubical, which was one of six in the overall women’s changing room, three on either side of an aisle. “She’s just jealous you look better than her.”
A snicker escaped Tenten’s lips as Ino mock huffed at the Suna kunoichi’s joking jab. “Ha! You’re one to talk, Blondie,” she fired back, before her teasing smirk reappeared. “Afraid I will steal Shikarmaru away from you?”
“As if,” Temari declared. A moment later, a cocky-smiling Suna/Konoha liaison emerged through the curtains, wearing a strapless, form-hugging, mini-skirted, one-piece, teal dress and high-heel shoes with straps wrapping up to mid-calf. “With what I have, I do not need to worry about the competition.”
“She has a point,” Tenten snickered again.
Ino pretended to pout before sticking out her tongue playfully at the Sand blonde, and only then did she drop the mock pout to grin good-naturally at Temari, who done the same back. She had, two years ago, thought of going after Shikamaru as a boyfriend, but after the Yamanaka realized her shadow-controlling teammate was spending more time with Suna’s Wind Mistress, she’d decided to pursue other boys, taking in lessons learned from the rivalry she had with Sakura over Sasuke. It just did not pay to ruin a friendship over the pursuit of a boy. The platinum blonde was grateful she had patched up her friendship with Sakura sometime after Sasuke had left the village six years ago.
“Speaking of Sakura,” Ino mentally mused before calling out the pinkette. “Hey, Forehead, how long is it taking you to change?”
“Don’t rush me, Ino-pig!” the reply came prior to Sakura’s emergence from another changing cubical. Like Temari, Tsuande’s apprentice wore a tight-fitting, one-piece, mini-skirted dress that shows off her legs and shapely ass. Yet this dress was black and full-sleeved, showing no cleavage. To finish off the outfit, she wore high-heel boots, similar to her kunoichi boots but with higher heels.
The beautiful, only daughter of Yamanaka Inoichi mock pouted once more. “Oh, poo! You’re always so good in finding clothes that suits you!”
With a witty smirk, Sakura shrugged. “As you always say, Ino, if you got it, you flaunt it.”
Ino giggled at that. “I know.”
Tenten shook her head amusedly at the pair. It was hard to believe that these two fought each other in the preliminary rounds during the first Chuunin Exam years ago. Looking at them now, anyone, who did not know these two, would thought the two young women were always the best of friends.
Temari, however, softly chuckled. “You two know quite well, as Tenten and I, who has a body to flaunt, if she ever does flaunt it, that is.”
“Temari-kun,” a soft female voice gently chided, almost wailing, behind a fifth cubical. “You know I will not ever wear revealing clothes, no matter what. It’s just not me.” With that said, Hyuuga Hinata, Heir of the Hyuuga Clan, came out of her cubical wearing a simple, light-purple dress with short sleeves and calve-length skirt.
The other four women grinned at their timid friend, their expressions showing they were just teasing. Out of the five of them, Hinata has been the most shy when it came to showing any femininity in public, and it came to no surprise she was like that, given her conservative and traditional upbringing as well as her personality. Of course, with a body like a goddess, the blue-shade-haired woman has good reasons to not parade herself around Konoha, for she did not want all the ‘wolves’ of the village to come at her, like they were all in heat.
With a hand on her hip, the brunette of The Kunoichi Five grinned reassuringly at her silver-eyed friend. “It’s not like you need to dress-up revealingly at the dance club tonight, Hinata. Knowing Kiba, he will not mind you not showing off your body, being territorial as an Inuzuka can get.”
Ino snickered on that. “Yeah, Dog Boy does not want any other males sniffing out his territory.” Temari, Sakura, and Tenten laughed, while Hinata blushed while giggling a bit at the simple fact regarding her boyfriend. Of course, Kiba was also just as hormonal as any other man, thus there was no doubt he wouldn’t have mind seeing his girlfriend in such revealing clothes just for his viewing pleasure.
“Speaking of boyfriends,” Ino began before aiming crafty eyes at the weapons expert of their group, “are you bringing Naruto to the club tonight?”
Tenten rolled her eyes and frowned. “I already told you last month at my birthday party, as well as several times in the last few days. Naruto and I are not dating, and you know already he’ll be there with us tonight. He always had attended our large group’s social gatherings, unless he can’t help it.”
The wily Ino was not perturbed. “Sure you two are not dating. He’d took you out to dinner and gave you a beautiful necklace, which you’ve worn ever since,” she finished with a finger pointing to the jewelry around Tenten’s neck.
Sakura elbowed her blonde friend. “Will you stop that, Ino?” she frowned. “Tenten stated she and Naruto are just friends. Why are you pushing? He’s friends with all five of us without being anything more.”
“Who says I’m pushing?” Ino countered back with a mock innocent face prior to her expression becoming sly again. “I was just pointing out that Tenten has been spending more time with Naruto than with other people. A few days ago after her team came back, she immediately sought Naruto out, and the two has spent almost every day together since until today.”
Once again turning back to the mirror as she rolled her brown eyes, Tenten shook her head at Ino’s consent badgering. “I’m helping Naruto learn kenjutsu, so he can better use those chakra kodachis, and only when I came back did he start helping me learn ninjutsu using my nature chakra. I really can’t see why you keep persisting there’s something more between us.”
“Yet you enjoy spending time with him, do you?” Ino immediately asked.
With her eyesight locked on her necklace’s mirror image, the bun-haired young woman grinned with a warm expression, her hand coming up to touching the tiny silver and gold kunai and shuriken. “Of course, I do. He’s a great friend to be around with. He’s strong, determine, loyal, a hard worker, quite funny with a great sense of humor—”
“And he’s handsome,” Ino added slyly.
“And he’s handsome,” Tenten copied before realizing what she just said. With cheeks blushing, the Weapons Mistress narrowed her eyes at the mirror image of a smirking, triumphant Ino.
Sakura rolled her eyes. “He’s handsome overall. Why do you suppose he is on the top ten of the Most Handsome Single Shinobi list according to the Konoha Kunoichi magazine? Ino, you’re proving nothing so far, regarding anything happening between Naruto and Tenten.”
The bleached blonde huffed and waved her best friend’s points away. “Like why should you care?” she inquired before locking her eyes with green ones, her lips forming into a gentle grin. “You had a chance with him, and you chose Sasuke.”
The pink-haired medic sighed with a somewhat sad grin as her eyes cast downward a bit. “Yeah, I did, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with the new Sasuke that came back home. I would have chosen Naruto eventually, if Sasuke didn’t come back.” Bright, moist green eyes came up to lock on her friend’s blue ones. “I’m glad that Naruto was understanding and still kept to being my best male friend. Despite I know he was heartbroken, he still wanted to be my friend.” A tear rolled down her cheek just before she turned her head away, closed her eyes, and titled her head down with a wide grin. “With a heart that big and forgiving, any woman should be honor to earn his love.”
An understanding Ino placed a supportive arm around her friend’s shoulders, and the next thing they knew, they were hugging each other as Sakura happily cried, making Ino produced a few tears with a grin, knowing her long-time best friend was so right regarding how big a heart Uzumaki Naruto has.
Her hands clasped over her heart, Hinata too closed her eyes and grinned with warm thoughts on the blond shinobi. She cared for Kiba deeply, but part of her would always be Naruto’s. Like Sakura, she would always be his friend for the rest of his life. “Naruto-kun,” she mentally spoke the name fondly, a single tear escaping her eye.
Brushing off the tears that threaten to fall, Suna’s Wind Mistress chuckled at the notion that Naruto somehow, without being there, filled her heart. “That blond idiot,” she fondly thought. Temari would always be thankful to the Hokage-wannabe for changing her baby brother from a psychological killer to the kind and caring man he was today as Suan’s Godiame Kazekage. Being Gaara’s best friend in the whole world, it was like Naruto has become a member of her family in a sense, and for Temari, she didn’t mind Naruto being that way in her heart as her family’s greatest friend.
Tenten felt her heart clenched upon hearing what Sakura had said. It was extremely rare in this world to meet people, who were forgiving with a big heart as Naruto. Most guys would feel somewhat betrayed that the woman he loved would fall for another guy, but since they had not ever been boyfriend/girlfriend per se, it was somewhat easier for Naruto to let Sakura go. It was hard to say whether he would have been forgiving, if they had been boyfriend/girlfriend, but knowing the big blond, Tenten thought he would have forgiven his kunoichi teammate.
Feeling a few tears trailed down her cheeks, the brown-haired kunoichi grinned warmly as she fingered her necklace with thoughts on the blond, blue-eyed shinobi with whisker birthmarks on his cheeks. “I wonder what you’re doing right now…Naruto.”

“AACHOOO!” a loud masculine sneeze reverberated in the forest.
“AH, HA! I FOUND YOU AGAIN, NARUTO!” cried out another guy, which followed by a few eager barks from a large dog. “Let’s go, Akamaru! Gatsuuga (Piercing Fang)!”
“Aw, crap!” Naruto said while perching on a tree branch, before he immediately launched into the air to avoid two large spiraling twisters, which destroyed the branch. He landed on the forest floor in time to see his friend Kiba landed a moment later in front of him, while Akamaru, transformed to look like his owner, landed behind the blond chuunin. “I really wish people out there stop talking about me! I’m in the middle of a battle!”
“Hell, no!” Kiba grinned widely and evilly, which Akamaru matched. “I want them to continue to talk about you! The more they talk about you, the more you sneeze, and the more you sneeze, the more you can’t hide from Akamaru and me!”
Naruto muttered, “I really regret now about agreeing to not use Kage Bushin at the beginning of this fight.”
Kiba snickered, obviously having heard his friend’s mumbling. “Well, I was not the one being so cocky in thinking he can win without his signature jutsu.” With a fierce grin, he began running toward his opponent, which Akamaru copied on the other side. “Gatsuuga!”
Thinking quickly, Naruto reached behind his back to unsheathe his kadachis as the twin Inuzuka twisters approached. Pushing his nature chakra speedily into the blades, the blue-eyed shinobi swiftly waved the twin short swords in a kenjutsu pattern around his body. “Fuuton: Kaze Kabe (Wind Element: Wind Wall)!” A cylinder of wind, much like a twister, surrounded Naruto up to several feet above his head, deflecting Kiba and Akamaru’s attack and flinging the pair away.
Landing on their feet and using their hand claws on the ground to break to a stop, Kiba and his canine partner growled at Naruto, who smirked before launching into the air diagonally. The Inuzuka duo immediately followed after him, not wanting to give the blonde a second of rest.
Seeing his ‘enemies’ coming right at him, Naruto waved his chakra-filled kodachis into another pattern. “Fuuton: Kabe Nami (Wind Element: Wall Wave)!” he cried out before slashing the blades horizontally in front of him, creating a large crescent wall of wind heading straight toward Kiba and Akamaru, and unable to maneuver in mid-air, the pair was forcefully carried away from Naruto by the wave of wind.
Knowing he has only a few seconds until the wind wave dissipated, Naruto landed on the ground with a tree behind him and a tiny clearing in front of him. He thrust his swords into the ground to make them stand upright on their own, before his freed hands began going through hand-seals rapidly.
“Oh, no, you don’t!” Kiba yelled as the wind technique died down, enabling him and Akamaru to each stick to the trunk of a separate tree. He pulled out several kunai and tossed them at the occupied blond, before he and his partner launched just behind the kunai.
Seeing the incoming weapons, Naruto managed to complete the last hand-sigh, before he slammed a single hand onto the ground. “Doton: Yomi Numa (Earth Element: Swamp of the Underworld)!” The ground and the land around the tiny clearing started turning into a sticky swamp, at the same time the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki grabbed his chakra blades and chakra jumped into the air to avoid the kunai, which all hit the ground.
In mid-air, wind-nature chakra once more coursed through the kodachis, their owner wielding them to recast a jutsu already made. “Fuuton: Kabe Nami!” he cried out before slashing the blades horizontally to form the shockwave, but this time aimed diagonally downward to catch the Inuzuka duo in mid-flight. The wall of wind forced the pair by into the sticky swamp below.
“Aw, man!” Kiba growled, as he and his canine companion tried to break free of the gooey substance while Naruto landed on dry land from the swamp’s edge. “Akamaru and I could have avoided this, if we were allowed to use Kawarimi or Shunshin!”
Naruto chuckled. “Well, it wouldn’t have been fair for you to tell me not to use Kage Bushin, while I couldn’t tell you not to use certain techniques. Fair is fair, Mutt. You told me I couldn’t use Kage Bushin, and in exchange, I told you that you can’t use Kawarimi, Shunshin, or any technique that enable you to escape other than using your own body to move.”
Knowing it was useless to struggle, the only son of the Inuzuka Clan’s Head stood still and glared at his friend, who was grinning in triumph. “I should have known you’ll use new jutsus in our fight, especially knowing you’ve been training in the past two months in using those swords to create wind jutsus.” His glare softened with a slight smirk, showing he was impressed.
“Indeed,” a voice from above alerted the three combatants to the group of young men standing on the tree branches above them, focusing on the pearl-eyed man with long brown hair. “You’ve improved much in a short amount of time, Naruto. I will not be surprise if you will be creating even stronger Fuuton jutsus within a few months.”
“Thanks, Neji,” Naruto beamed at his friend, who nodded with a tiny uplift on one corner of his mouth.
Taking the rare opportunity of all their teams having the same time off from missions, the young men of Teams Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, and Gai had decided to spar and train together, while their female teammates were doing whatever they wanted to do on their own. So, Naruto, Kiba, Shino, Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, and Chouji came to this dense forest training area to test each other in combat. Only Sai couldn’t make it due to an ANBU mission.
As Naruto cancelled the Yomi Numa thus allowing Kiba and Akamaru to break free from the dirt, the rest of their group jumped to the ground. An excited Rock Lee came up to his gold-haired friend.
“That was a most youthful battle, Naruto-kun!” Lee exclaimed. “Your hard work and training under Tenten are making you become stronger!” With fire in his eyes and a clenched fist, the Taijutsu Master nearly literally placed his face right up to Naruto’s face, which went wide-eyed at the sudden intrusion. “You must fight me next!”
Everyone sweat-dropped as Naruto backed up a couple of steps and nervously chuckled. “Fine with me, Fuzzy Brows. Let me rest a few minutes, before we start our spar, okay?” The green-spandex shinobi nodded enthusiastically.
Sheathing the kodachis back in their scabbards behind his back, Naruto took a quick look at his male friends and was reminded once more that the girls of their group seemed to have changed the most when it came to ninja apparel. Neji, Lee, Shino, and Shikamaru still looked basically the same as two years ago with the exception of the goatee the Nara was sporting. Chouji was wearing a much sturdier armor with a different color scheme. Kiba has changed the most, for he now wore his chuunin vest over a short-sleeved brown jacket with fur trims on the sleeves, fishnet undershirt, brown camouflage pants, and brown shinobi shoes. With his brown hair much wilder, he certainly has the looks of a fierce warrior you did not want to mess with. Of course, Naruto couldn’t forget that he too has changed his outfit with the exception of the red haori.
“Naruto,” Neji’s voice brought the young Toad Sage out of his thoughts, “Tenten had told Gai-sensei, Lee, and I that you were going to teach her jutsus using her elemental chakra. I presume you’ve started her training the day after we came back, correct?”
Naruto grinned with a single nod. “Yeah, nothing major yet, Neji. Just the basics for now. She does have great chakra control, and even though her control is not on the level as Sakura-chan’s, it’ll help her master jutsus as she progresses.” Neji nodded in understanding at this.
Thinking back to a few days ago, the blond shinobi mentally grinned that his weapons-loving friend sure would become a kunoichi not to tangle, if she ever mastered her nature chakra. Using the simple test of pushing chakra into a single slip of chakra paper, they’d found that Tenten’s chakra element was fire, the most common among most of the Konoha ninja population. With a few beginners’ scrolls in Katon jutsus, the Weapons Mistress had begun her elemental training.
“Are you ready, Naruto-kun?” Lee grinned, eager to spar with his friend/rival. “Unlike Kiba-kun, I will not pose any restrictions on you. Fight me with everything you have.”
With an equal eager grin, Naruto nodded once before venturing out into the clearing with Lee following. The taijutsu expert quickly stood into his usual starting stance with one hand behind his back and the other extended in the front upward with palm facing inward, and once the Hokage-wannabe took a stance, both young men waited until one or the other would begin.
A few seconds before he began to charge at his new opponent, Naruto had one last thought regarding the brown-eyed kunoichi with brown hair put up into two buns. ”Given your personality, I think I shouldn’t have been surprise your nature chakra was fire,” he mentally and fondly grinned. “It suits you…Tenten.”
With that warm thought, Uzumaki Naruto went into battle mode as he began the spar against Rock Lee.

The music was playing loudly. The strobe lights and disco ball were flashing on-and-off around the place, especially over the dance floor. The sounds of dancing feet, conversations, and partying could be heard everywhere.
These were what the human senses were conveying at one particular dance club in Konoha. It was filled with people, who came out at night to party, socialize with friends, and have a great time. With a couple of bars off the each side and a large dance floor in the center surrounded by tables and side & corner booths, it was one of the most popular clubs in the village.
Walking into the club, wearing dark pants and black button-up shirt with an orange Leaf symbol on the left breast, one Uzumaki Naruto scanned the semi-dark club before wandering off in search of his friends. Spotting a large rectangle table with eight familiar people sitting around it, he smiled and headed for it, and once he was in visional range, he greeted his friends, who in turned had spotted him as well.
“Hi, guys!” Naruto waved to everyone there.
“Well, it’s about time you show up!” Kiba joked. “I was wondering if you were kidnapped by the Hokage to do her paper work.”
“Na,” the grinning blond man responded back with a dismissal wave, “Baa-chan would have just destroyed the paper work than bother kidnapping me to do it for her anyway.” Kiba and the others laughed, as Naruto settled into an empty seat to the left of Tenten, who smirked and shook her head at him for making fun of her idol.
“You know,” Tenten began while pointing to her whisker-faced friend, “even after all these years, I still can’t understand why you continue to call her ‘baa-chan’. Will it hurt to even call her ‘Hokage-sama’ once?”
Naruto chuckled. “If I did that, then she would think something is wrong with me and put me under observation. Now, why would I do that?” he finished with a teasing voice, his eyes locked with brown ones as a few chuckles was heard around the table. Tenten playfully stuck out her tongue at him.
Chuckling at the mischievous kunoichi, Naruto’s eyes quickly scanned the table and everyone’s position relative to his own, sitting at one corner with his back to the dance floor. Going clockwise, Kiba was to his left, sitting at the head of the table, followed by Hinata, Ino, Chouji, Lee, Shikarmu, who sat at the other end, Temari, and finally Tenten.
After giggling at the playfulness Tenten displayed at her fellow blonde, Temari spoke up to him. “Tenten told us girls today that you’re aiming for the jounin promotion. Is this true, Naruto?”
“Yep,” Naruto confirmed with a grin. “That’s why both Tenten and I are helping each other train, so we can prepare to take the jounin promotion test.”
“Both of you?” Kiba raised his eyebrows, and after the pair nodded in affirmative, the Inuzuka narrowed his eyes at his whiskered friend. “Why didn’t you say anything about this before?”
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. “Maybe because no one bothered to ask him?” He too felt a bit put off that Naruto didn’t say anything, but then again, the Nara knew it was none of his business, whether or not any of his friends aim for advancement to the jounin rank. “Whether a person wants the promotion or not, it’s none of anyone’s business.”
Ino snorted a laugh. “This coming from a man, who was somewhat motivated by his girlfriend to seek out the promotion?”
Wearing the mini-skirted dress she had bought from the clothes store earlier in the day, Temari smirked at the lazy genius, who sighed with a lazy grin at his Suna love before picking up his drink glass. “Troublesome woman,” he muttered before his lips took in a sip. Her giggle told him she was amused.
Kiba took a sip of his drink before thumbing himself. “Well, I’m not going to wait any longer. If Naruto is going to take the test, so will me. I’m not going to sit back and watch you,” he pointed to his blond friend, “get ahead of me.”
“Now, Kiba-kun,” Hinata softly chided with a small grin, her hands adjusting the skirt of her halter-top, light-blue dress. “Not everyone has what it takes to become a jounin. I’m perfectly happy staying as a chuunin. As heir of my clan, I simply do not have the time or luxury for the duties the jounin rank entitles.”
“Speak for yourself,” Ino mumbled. “I wouldn’t mind getting that promotion.” The Yamanaka took a gulped of her drink. “Damn, Forehead. She had gotten ahead of me.” She trained blue eyes to her brown-haired teammate besides her. “Least Chouji and I are stuck together in that department,” she smiled sweetly at the Akimichi, who grinned with blushing cheeks at his beautiful friend.
After downing another sip, Kiba aimed a finger at the longhaired platinum blonde. “Well, Shino had gotten ahead of me, and I’m not going to let Naruto do so.”
Tenten rolled her eyes at the dog-handler’s complaints. “I certainly am not complaining that my teammates have jumped ahead of me in rank.” Her lips turned from a frown to a confident grin. “I’m going to do something about it,” she said prior to locking eyes with the dark ones of her green-loving teammate.
“Tenten is right,” Lee exclaimed, grinning at her before looking around the table. “Either you do or you don’t. Be happy with what you have, and if you’re not, change it for the better. Naruto-kun has always said that we decide our fate, and he is right.”
A smirk came across Kiba’s face. “I can drink to that,” he proclaimed, raising his drink glass. With the exception of Naruto, everyone else followed suit and hear-cheered to the notion before taking a drink.
As she sipped down her drink, Tenten eyed her raven-haired teammate and friend and thoughtfully thanked Kami that Lee was not drinking any alcohol. At Naruto’s suggestion two years ago, Lee had been told about his Drunken Fist abilities and the severe affects produced when he even drinks a tiny amount of alcohol. Chagrin that he was capable of harming his people; Gai’s favorite student had vowed not to drink a sip of alcohol, unless he has no choice in a life-and-death battle. From that day onward, Lee was true to his word.
Chucking that he has no drink to toast along with his friends, Konoha’s Jinchuuriki stood up after everyone else took a sip of their drinks. “I’m going to get a drink.” With that said, he walked past Kiba to head toward the bar.
After looking down into her empty glass with a frown, Tenten stood up and followed her training partner. “I need a refill,” she explained as she passed Kiba, right on Naruto’s heals.
Light-blue eyes twinkling, Ino giggled slyly, turning her torso around to watch Naruto and Tenten approached the semi-crowded bar. “Oh, I can’t wait to see how those two interact,” she cooed, causing everyone else to eye the pair. “I still think there’s something going on between them, no matter what Tenten says.”
Shikamaru sighed and shook his head. “Ino, you’re such a romantic gossiper.” He lifted his glass to his lips to take a sip, choosing to not stare at his two friends like a leering fool.
Arriving at the bar, the blue-eyed young man placed an order with the bartender. “One bottle of sake with a glass, please.” As soon as he said that, he felt a presence next to him to his left, thus Naruto was a bit surprise to find Tenten there, when she wasn’t there a moment ago.
“Can you refill my glass, please?” the bun-haired woman asked the bartender. “Soda and gin.”
As the bartender immediately attend to their orders, Naruto turned fully about to face his kunoichi friend. “You’re looking good tonight, Weapons Girl,” he grinned, his eyes praising her form from head to toes “New outfit?”
Tenten felt her cheeks flushed. “Partially,” she replied with a tiny smirk, not minding his examination. She wore the white, laced blouse she had bought today at the clothes store with a black mini-skirt she already had in her wardrobe. Sexy high-heel shoes encased her feet, and the necklace, he had given her, was around her neck. To finish the feminine touch, her make-up was consisted of red lipstick and light-brown eye shadow.
Overall, she knew she looked good, but it was a boost to her self-esteem that Naruto thought she looked quite appealing to him. His appraisal made her feel womanly and sexy, and that was saying a lot to her what she thought about the handsome blond shinobi.
Deciding to return the favor, Tenten eyed her friend in the same manner as he did with her. “You’re not looking bad yourself, Whisker Boy,” she mentioned coyly just as the bartender left their orders in front of them on the bar.
Naruto raised an amused eyebrow at the nickname she had started calling him in recent days after her team came home from their mission. He didn’t mind it at all. “I aim to please. I take you like what you see?”
“Yep,” she replied with a teasing grin. “You better watch it, or else, you might draw all the women in the club to you.”
“Not likely,” a chuckling Naruto dismissed such a notion. “The only women I’m going to pay attention tonight are Ino, Hinata, Temari, and you.” With that said, he reached over to fill his glass from the sake bottle.
Hearing the emphasis, Tenten pleasantly smiled at her training partner. He seemed to know precisely what a woman wanted to hear. “In that case, you better prepare yourself for a night of dancing, Naruto. I’m looking forward to have some fun.”
“And have fun, you will receive,” Naruto grandly smiled at her, enjoying seeing that smile on her face. Picking up his glass, he toasted to her. “To fun.”
Tenten took her glass and mimicked his action. “To fun,” she agreed, and with a clink of their glasses, the pair sipped their drinks, each not minding at all what lay ahead.
Over at the table, Ino was giggling at what she saw. “I couldn’t hear a word that was spoken, but from their facial expressions, I say those two are flirting.” She giggled some more, narrowed eyes twinkling. “Oh, the rest of the night is going to be fun.”
And fun, they all enjoyed.
As the evening progressed, the group of nine friends drank, talked, and danced the night away. Each of the guys danced with each of the gals a few times, but the four women mostly stayed with their boyfriends or particular men as time went by.
So it came to no surprise a few hours later, when during a fast dance number, a tipsy Temari was dancing quite suggestively against Shikamaru, who knew what the Suna Wind Mistress would want from him later on in a more private setting. Kiba, who was also tipsy, danced close to Hinata without making contact much. At the table, a slightly bombed Ino was clinging to an amused and flabbergasted Chouji, who wondered if his pretty teammate was really coming on to him. Lee had managed to make a couple of new female friends he met at the bar, thus he was currently dancing together with them. Last, Tenten, being a tad tipsy, was dancing close to Naruto, their hands on each other’s bodies as they moved to the fast beat of the music.
Laughing and enjoying herself tremendously with her hands around his neck, the Weapons Mistress has to admit that her dance partner sure knows how to sway to the music. Oh, they had danced together during social functions in the past, but this time was different, for Tenten wanted very much that he to be her main dance partner for tonight.
With his hands holding his kunoichi friend by the waist, Naruto too was enjoying himself highly, loving hearing her laughter and seeing her grinning up at him as they moved together as one to the fast-pace music. For some strange reason, the blond wanted to stay by her side tonight. Maybe it was due to their bond as training partners, or their goal to get that jounin promotion together. Regardless of his reasons, he wanted to be there for Tenten, and tonight, he wanted her to have fun, which they were both taking pleasure in spades.
Feeling impish to tease him, Tenten twisted around in his hands, and before Naruto knew it, she was grinding her back and behind into his front, her hands over his as she guided their movements. He was taken aback at first at the sudden change, but as his cerulean eyes locked onto her teasing chocolate ones after she turned her head to look at him, the young man deviously grinned and began grinding back, making her grin wider.
“You’re being a tease, Weapons Girl,” Naruto jokingly chided softly for only her to hear.
A snicker escaped Tenten’s mouth. “Look who’s talking, Whisker Boy,” she responded in the same tone. “You’re having fun, aren’t you?”
“I have to say the same with you,” he immediately fired back, making her laugh as they twisted and grinded together.
Over at the table, Ino whistled at the display Tenten and Naruto were presenting. “Look at those two go!” she exclaimed before her lips carved upward on one side. “Not boyfriend and girlfriend, my ass. They’re teasing and flirting with each other. I say it’s only a matter of time.”
Chouji shrugged, chopping down on pretzels happily. “They’re having fun, that’s for sure.”
Mischievously eying her teammate, the longhaired blonde leaned over to whisper right into his ear. “How about you and I go out there to have some fun ourselves? Mmmm?” she purred.
The big, broad Akimichi nearly had a heart attack right there, his mind being fried with images of being that close and personal to a beautiful girl, who was only wearing black, spandex shorts and an eye-popping, tight, crop-top, short-sleeved, purple blouse which displayed her cleavage. He did his best to not get a bleeding nose.
Ino was inwardly giggling at Chouji’s reaction. “He’s so cute all flustered like that! Maybe I should keep him.”
A few minutes later, the fast-pace song and music reached its end, prompting everyone on the dance floor to clap as most caught their breath. A moment later, soft slow-pace music started to play. A few couples left the dance floor at the same time others joined onto the floor, while those on the dance floor began to slow dance with the strobe lights adjusting to create a romantic atmosphere.
As a soft-grinning Ino, who wanted to dance, led Chouji onto the dance floor, Naruto and Tenten closely and slowly swayed back and forth in front of each, their eyes locked together with her hands on his shoulders and his on her waist. Both felt warm and secure in each other’s company, letting the soft music guide them around.
“Kami, he definitely is handsome,” Tenten thought, letting herself be lost into those sea-blues of his. “He’s so kind and considerate of others, not to mention so strong in being a shinobi. There’s no doubt he’ll make a wonderful Hokage.”
“She’s beautiful,” Naruto said to himself, his sight delving deep into those chocolate orbs of hers. “She’s smart, kind, and definitely one strong kunoichi. I have a good hunch she’ll go far.”
Wanting to dance closer, the lovely brunette placed her left cheek on his right shoulder, her face close to his neck as her arms encircled his back. His pleasant scent prompted her to close her eyes and just let herself be at peace in the music and his closeness.
The blond warmly grinned at her actions, and in reciprocation, he wrapped his arms around her frame in a gentle hug and situated his right check on her forehead, allowing his nose to take in the sweet fragrance of her hair. In all his years, he has not ever felt such harmony within his being as he did now with the gentle melody playing around him and the warm contact of another person.
Tenten felt her heart fluttered a bit upon feeling his cheek on her forehead, making her moaned so softly in endorsement of his close proximity, and when Naruto heard her moan, which almost sounded like a soft purr, his heart constricted a bit, knowing how much he loved being this near to someone, who loved being near you.
As their friends softly smiled as they watched the pair danced, Naruto sighed in deep content. “I don’t want this night to end,” he said in a near whisper.
“Me too,” Tenten responded just as contently and softly as he did. She just felt like dancing like this for the rest of the night.
As they continued to dance together under the romantic setting, Konoha’s Jinchuuriki and Weapons Mistress happily sighed together, not paying any heed to the outside world. There were just the warm touches and wonderful scents of each other, and to them, it felt just right.
