Tenten looks between Naruto and Hanabi, barely registering that she's in Konoha.
She whispers in his ear, "The sooner we talk to Hokage-sama, the sooner we can find a place to fuck,"
Naruto's eyes glaze over and he nods, he releases Tenten's hand and grabs her wrist, coaxing her forward.
"Let's go then,"
They catch up to Hanabi, who is marching with long forced strides, edged features engraved into her pallid face.
"Oi, Hanabi, are you OK?" Naruto asks, Tenten blanches slightly.
She bites out, "Of course I am /fine/, Uzumaki-san. Is there something wrong that I can assist you with?"
"Ah well, you seemed a little tense."
Hanabi doesn't look back, doesn't say anything.
Tenten whispers in his ear, "Hanabi is a lot like Neji used to be, she's always angry at something. It's usual for her to act this way."
"Well that's stupid! What? Does she believe the same stupid stuff about fate that Neji did?"
Tenten is too late to cover her lover's mouth, she silently curses his loud mouth.
Hanabi doesn't break her stride, or her tone, "I don't have the same 'stupid' beliefs as my cousin, Uzumaki-san. But perhaps you would like to ask–"
"N-No! That's fine."
Hanabi stops at the entrance to the Hokage tower, she bows barely at all.
"I must return to my shift. I'm sure you can find your way from here?"
Hanabi's tone angers Naruto. Why is she acting this way? Did he do something to her? Or is she always this way like Tenten says? |
