- What boring events can be good for ... -


Lee went through Konoha with Neji, while the latter was complaining: "Such a stupid event. - Why do I of all people have to go there?"
His interlocutor sighed: "Well, you don't feel like that. - You and Hinata have to represent your clan there.
"Hmpf! Squeeze yourself into Yukatas in which you are so immobile. - What if we are attacked? - You can hardly move in the tight fumble ..." - Suddenly Lee stopped and stared forward. - Neji, who noticed this, looked at his team partner: "What is it?"
"Do ... you know that girl over there?"
Neji looked in the direction instructed to him: "The one with the long, black hair, with whom Hinata is talking?" - Lee nodded his head. - “No. I don't know.” A light red shot in Neji's cheeks. * But she looks cute. *
Lee, noticing the blush in Neji, gave him a light slap on the back, which threw Neji off balance and the thought: "Hey, you Casanova!"
"W-w-what?"
"Go and introduce yourself to her."
An embarrassed "huh?" left the lips of the person addressed.
Mischievously Lee said: "Either you go there IMMEDIATELY and introduce yourself to her, or I yell over that you want to meet her."
Neji immediately grabbed his comrade by the collar and hissed: "Don't you dare THAT!"
"Then be a man and go over! Come on! Hop-hop!"
Annoyed, he let go of Lee: "And what should I say, please?> Hello, my name is Neji and I want to go out with you?"
Cheerfully, Lee said, "That's a good idea! Best of all, you invite her to this event!" - Neji growled. - "Stop growling at me. Go and talk to her at last!" - With another growl, Neji really went to Hinata and the stranger.
* I could start the conversation on the pretext that I wanted to speak to Hinata about the event and then speak to her ... Yes, that's good ... * thought Neji while he was almost with the girls.

Hinata noticed her cousin first. "H-h-hello Neji ..." she began slowly when he was only a few steps away.
The strange girl also turned her head to the newcomer and smiled: "Hello."
Neji had to pull himself together in order not to stutter in front of the long-haired beauty: "Hello. - Hinata, I wanted to talk to you again about this event ..." With these words he tried to ignore the stranger, otherwise he would really stutter. - But since she was looking at him all the time, he couldn't help it and finally turned his head to her: "Hello.I am Neji Hyuga. "
The two girls looked at him, completely perplexed.
Hinata was the first to see what was going on. She smiled and finally said: "Kk-don't worry, dd-you don't need to accompany me to the event." - The stranger and Neji looked at the black-haired woman in irritation, while she continued: "TT-Tenten will definitely be happy to accompany you , oo-right? "The last words were now turned to the long-haired woman.
With reddened cheeks, this only brought a "What?" emerged.
At Neji the penny was slowly falling. - With big eyes and fiery red cheeks he looked at the long-haired woman: "What? D-d-you are Tenten?
With an insulted look, the person addressed squinted at the stunned boy: "Yes, who else? - Don't worry. You don't have to drag me to this event."
"N-n-no ... That's not how it was meant ..." Neji stammered, who had NEVER seen his teammate with her hair down.
Tenten paused, while Hinata said soothingly: "I-i-I'm sure d-d-that Neji g-w-likes to take you ..."
Neji was still stuttering: "S-s-sure ..."
Hinata took Tenten's hand, said to Neji, "Y-d-see you tonight," and disappeared with her friend in the direction of the Hyuga estate.

Still stunned, Neji stared after the two of them, while Lee slowly approached him: "Did you get a rebuff?"
The long-haired man shook his head slightly: "She ... is going with me ... tonight ... to this event ..."
Lee patted his shoulder encouragingly: "Well, that's nice."
Neji's lips played a slight smile: "Yes ..."

"What was that supposed to mean?" asked Tenten, who was dragged along by Hinata.
She smiled: "W-w-don't you want to go out with him?"
With red cheeks came a horrified "Excuse me?" from Tenten's lips.
Hinata stopped in a flash and looked at her friend confused: "N-n-not?"
When she stepped on, she looked down: "Y-d-but ..."
"N-n-well then it's good ..." With these words she started walking again.
"Where are we going anyway?"
"Z-z-to me. - Y-d-you need something decent, z-z-to wear."

When she arrived at the Hyuga estate, Hinata pulled her friend up to her room. - There she rummaged some things from her closet that Tenten had to try out one after the other.

Meanwhile, Neji walked quickly to Naruto. - But the blonde wasn't home. - So Neji went to the next takeaway, where he actually found something quickly ...
"Hey, Naruto!" - Continuing to slurp his noodles, the person addressed looked up. - "Do you have time tonight?"
"Huh?"
"If not, it doesn't matter. Take it!"
"What?"
“Oh, you'd better come with me right away!” With these words he grabbed Naruto's wrist and pulled the perplexed boy up into the air.
"But ... I'm just eating ..."
"You can do it later too!"
"But.."
"Nothing> but <. Come on!"
He was already dragging the confused boy behind him, who was still crying after his food: "But ... my food ...""You can eat later!" Neji hissed while still pulling Naruto after him.

After the snack was no longer in sight, the blonde sighed: "What's all this about?"
"You go out!"
"I'm doing WHAT?"
"You're going out in a couple of hours!"
"How ... How do I get there?"
"I don't have time for that now. - I'll explain when we get there."
"Where is> there <, if you please?"
With the words "With me, at home", Neji ran even faster.

Arrived at Neji, he put Naruto in his room and also rummaged around in his closet.
The blonde sat cross-legged on the floor and looked at Neji curiously: "Can you tell me WHAT this is all about?"
"Did I already tell you. - You're going out."
"Where to and with whom, here you go?"
“We have such a strange event that we have to attend to accompanied by Hyugas. - Ah! THAT could fit!” At his last words, the black-haired man pulled out a yukata, which he then held in front of Naruto's nose: “Come on. Try it on . "
The blonde obeyed, but still wanted to know: "And what do I have to do with it?"
"YOU are the company!"
Naruto looked at his interlocutor with wide eyes: "From YOU ???"
"Nonsense! - From Hinata."
The blonde sighed in relief: "Oh ..."

After a few hours, Hinata seemed satisfied: "D-D-The yukata fits perfectly."
Tenten looked at himself in the mirror and said: "Yes. It fits really well. And it also suits me."
Now the girls only had to do their hair and put on a little make-up, and they were done.

"But tell me ... why should I accompany Hinata? - I don't mind, but I would like to know the reason ..."
The black-haired man looked at the blond in astonishment: "You don't know?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders: "Since you didn't tell me ..."
"No, I don't mean that ... I ... Oh, okay. Forget it." Secretly, Neji wondered if Naruto wasn't blind. - EVERYONE could tell from Hinata's reactions that she was in love with the blonde. - Only you beloved apparently not ...

A few minutes later the boys stood in front of Hinata's door and knocked, whereupon a "We'll be right there!" sound.
"Now control yourself! Don't fidget! And above all: behave yourself!" Neji hissed to Naruto, who probably had some problems with the rather tight-fitting yukata.
Finally Hinata came out of the room first and was immediately startled because Naruto was standing next to Neji: "N-N-Naruto ..."
"Hello Hinata," the blonde greeted her with a smile.
Now Tenten came out of the room: "Good evening, Naruto."
He looked perplexed at the black-haired woman: “Do we know each other?” Neji immediately gave him an elbow in the ribs, whereupon the blonde gasped.
"I thought, if you refuse my company, you could go with Naruto," said the black-haired man with a warm smile to Hinata.She looked at the ground in embarrassment, whereupon Tenten said: "Well then we are complete and can go, right?"
"Yes! Eat!" The blonde was happy, who had previously been told by Neji that there was also something to eat at this event. - For his exclamation, however, he was hit in the ribs again.
Neji held out his arm to Tenten to hook it in and said: "Let's go." - The latter also hooked it up immediately, which caused a slight red sheen on both of their cheeks.
Naruto also held out his arm to Hinata, whereupon she hooked her head with a fiery red head.

After they had been at the event for a few minutes, Naruto quickly got bored, despite the food, which Hinata immediately remarked: "E-e-sorry."
The blonde looked at her irritated: "What for?"
"Y-d-that you are so bored because of me ..."
A warm smile played around Naruto's lips: "Oh, that's not your fault. - After all, you didn't organize this event."
The black-haired woman bowed her head in embarrassment: "A-a-but it's my fault that you are here ..."
* She is really cute when she looks so embarrassed ... * Naruto's face wandered further and further in her direction. Suddenly he stopped short. * What am I doing here? * He returned to his previous position with flushed cheeks. "Do we want to get some fresh air? - Somehow I'm terribly hot right now ..."
"G-g-like ..."

Neji looked skeptical - a few meters away - after the two of them. - He wasn't torn out of his thoughts until Tenten asked: "Am I THAT boring?"
With flushed cheeks he stuttered: "N-n-no ... I ... uh ..."
Tenten smiled: "Are you worried about the two?"
"Well ... not really ... but ..."
