Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Relationship Skills ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Everyone here knows the main reason I'm late, as usual, the computer. After my dad broke it in the summer, blaming me for my constant downloading, my boredom intensified and creativity stopped flowing. Four weeks later and a couple of days ago, he just bought a new one and wala, time to stop procrastinating.

Even though she was cute, it could also mean she could have a certain blond trait, dumb, he wouldn't let himself be associated with, what, the fifth girl he knew. He shouldn't let the number grow.

Sasuke towed her away and into an empty seat in the back corner of a teahouse.

“Okay so you kidnapped me and swept me away to a country inn. What's your next move hero?” she leaned her chin on her hand.

Sasuke leaned back on the wall and crossed his arms; “…The picture's gone,” getting to the point. Him, a ninja, got jacked.

“And to get my love you must retrieve it, yes, another boring romance in the life of Uchiha and Hatake,” Taki sighed. “So who's the enemy?”

“Shikamaru. How are you going to get those pictures back hmm?” Sasuke stared at her.

“Don't know why I should get it. You lost it.”

“It's your fault anyway. You took the picture.”

“You're the one that kissed me.”

“You chose me to hate.”

They paused as a geisha set down some tea and snacks. Taki poured a cup for him and herself.

“Wouldn't of happened if you didn't get drunk in the first place.”

Sasuke opened his mouth but nothing came. Shutting it before letting her see, he picked up a cookie.

“Well is he bribe-able? Because bribing seems so much more easier than beating up the poor pineapple. Any weak points would be nice to know now.”

Sasuke thought about Shikamaru, “He likes a good game of shogi and chocolate.”

Taki raised a brow, “Chocolate?” and then glared at him when they both reached for the last sweet pastry.

There was Shikamaru, sitting in his favorite spot, and Chouji, eating some Pringles, playing another round of shogi.

“Yo Shikamaru!” Taki waved at him.

Shikamaru sighed, “No Temari I don't want to go on a pointless and time wasting date with you,” he waited for Chouji to move his piece.

Chouji munching, looked up, “That isn't Temari nam nam nam.” (those are munching sounds)

Shika slowly turned his head, as if it was painful to not be lazy, “You.”

Taki plopped herself down next to Chouji, she snatched a Pringles, without asking, between the seconds where Chouji took the chip and inserted it into his mouth, which was .5.

“I heard you got a picture from Sasuke.”

Hiding behind some trees, about a hundred feet away, you could hear a slap against a forehead.

“You're the one in the picture. Wonder how you got him to do that.”

“Yeah a great moment in hookup history,” she carelessly waved her hand. “Want to give it to me? I'm sure I can put it to good blackmailing use against Sasuke.”

“Nah, it's too troublesome.”

“What? To get it out? Wanna trade for it?” she offered.

He looked at her, “Shogi?”

“But we're still playing,” Chouji whined.

“I'm going to win in the next three moves anyways,” he shrugged.

“Even better, a game of shogi, and…this just to sweeten your day,” she held it up.

Shikamaru's eyes slightly widened and then he smiled to himself, “Deal after shogi,” he popped opened the bag and threw a chocolate gummy bear in his mouth.

“See Sasuke? That's all you had to do. One game of shogi wasn't going to hurt your pride unless you suck at it,” Taki handed him the picture, “Here. I'm sure you want to tape this up to the ceiling so you can fall asleep looking at my face,” she grinned.

“No all I'd have to do is crawl in your bed,” he flirted, yes flirted, right back.

“My windows always open if your lonely,” sticking her hands in her pockets. “Well, Sasuke's chapter is finished for today. Gotta go find Shino and see if I can start a love triangle bye!”

Sasuke watched her walk off, “Maybe I'll try that.”

Not knowing where or if Shino had a hang out spot was, she headed to the Aburame household. A member showed her to his room and left, Taki knocked, heard some movement inside, and entered anyway. Taki stared and stared some more.

“Dang Shino, I didn't know this side of you,” she smirked.

Shino and Meilin stopped sucking each others faces and looked up at her from the straddling position. Shino pushed his glasses up, zipped up his jacket, and got off Meilin. Meilin glared at her of course and huffed her way up.

“I'm going Shino,” she hopped off the bed and closed the door rather loudly leaving the two alone.

“Were you guys about to-”

“No but she wanted to.”

“You know all you have to do is say no. Then its called rape,” Taki sat down next to him and frowned. “She…didn't force herself on you, did she?”

“…” he shook his head.

“Good cause if she did I would of…anyway let's go out Shino,” she stood up and grabbed his arm. “I haven't been on a walk with you in a long time.”

Hidden beneath the leaves, two shadows watched the two leave the household.

“Is it just me or is she talking to a lot of guys lately?”

“Definitely too many. She's already becoming a pain.”

They leapt off to follow. Guess who those two are.

“Anything interesting happened while I was gone? Besides you getting married.”

“I'm not married.”

“You're not?” Taki sounded excited, toned down her facial expression a bit, “But wait, Meilin said you guys were.”

One of Shino's bugs crawled out of his sleeve and onto his fingertip, “We're engaged,” it fluttered to Taki's jacket, “she's thrilled about it,” he didn't really care about the engagement really.

“You like her I think, you'll marry her,” `Even if she reminds me of myself a little,” “Cool bug, you taught him that? Looks pretty familiar.”

Yasumi, the first twin reporter, came up to them, “Hatake, Shino,” she nodded her greeting, “I'm going to need more information,” she pulled out her pad.

“More info? This is still about that id thing?”

“There are people requesting for more info about the new girl in town. Some even paid me before I could agree, can't refuse a generous offer when I see one,” Yasumi's bored face quirked.

“Am I getting paid for this too?”

“Uh no. But that is a good idea. Paying for their time as well as mine and then keeping it. Most insightful of you Taki,” Yasumi rubbed her chin and then wrote it down, “Back to business, you will do this will you?”

Taki glanced at Shino, couldn't tell with his shades on, with a bored accepted stance.

“Make it quick.”

She flipped to the next page and recited, “What type of guy do you like? Were you home-schooled? Is your hair natural? What bra size are you?” Yasumi looked up, “These are the questions from the audience. They want to know you. And oh yeah your two colored eyes.”

They watched Taki's eyes look a little over Yasumi's shoulders. Sparkles coming out of her eyes. Shino and Yasumi looked back and saw the ice cream man and a couple of ninjas in line for some cones.

“Taki what kind of ice cream do you like?” the reporter asked.

“I wonder if they have mint chocolate,” Taki slowly started to walk towards the ice cream cart, she looked back at them sheepishly, “Heh sorry, you guys want some?”

Shino declined but being the gentleman paid for their ice cream.

“I feel much better,” Taki smiled licking her lips. “My type of guy is tall and smart. I was home schooled. My hair is natural. If they want to know about my size and eyes then they're just going to have to pay me upfront,” she nudged Shino playfully, “I'll tell Shino if he wants to know,” she grinned.

Yasumi scratched this all down, “That's it for now. I'm leaving.”

Taki looked up at Shino, “You look curious Shino. Want to know?”

Shino hid his cheeks deeper in his jacket.

“Look there's Neji! I'll tell you later,” Taki waved her free hand catching his attention and his jealously when he saw her other arm around…wait it's just Shino, he's not a threat…for now.

Running low on ideas, someone want to help? okay so im seventeen now. i cried myself a puddle yesterday (terrible bday ever) and feel much better today about turning this in.
