Please Forgive This Idiot (Naruto)

Chapter 14 - Stalker

I slipped my hands in my pockets as I walked through the busy streets, blowing a raspberry.

Kakashi's a sensei now and no one will be home with me.

I pouted.

They stole my nii-chan.

I paused when I saw a familiar figure in the distance. 

I squinted before my eyes widened.

Is that...?

I bit my lip, trying to hold in my squeal.

TENTEN!?!?

She's not in my top ten, but she's definitely one of my favourite characters and I LOVE her. I mean, how could you not!? She's so good at handling weapons and she's so cool!!

She's one of the main characters in Rock Lee SD too- (Which is one of the main reasons I love her).

'What do I do, what do I do?' My knees were shaking in sheer excitement. 'Stop her? But that'll be too weird....'

I clenched my fists as she waved to a shop owner and started to walk away. 

'Shit!! She's going!!' I pouted. 'What..what....oh.'

I lit up and giggled.

Fishing out an apple from the paper bag, Tenten looked at it and smiled before placing it back into the paper bag. 'Now, what do I...'

She slowed down in her steps as her eyes narrowed. 'Someone's following me....'

She shook her head mentally and continued walking. 'Maybe they're just taking the same route as me...'

I sighed quietly. 'Tenten's house is so far away...It's near the Hokage monuments.....' I anime cried. 'My legs are so tired!!!'

'At least it's not as bad as Suzu sensei's training.'

Tenten's eyes narrowed as she stood in front of her father's weapon store. 'Whoever following me is still here....'

'A stalker?' Tenten gritted her teeth, a tick mark on her forehead as she spun around. She rolled a small scroll open, kunais shooting out at me.

I squeaked and dodged in time only for the kunais to be pulled back. 'Eh? Chakra strings?'

"Huh...? Who are you?" Tenten blinked.

"A-Ah, I-I'm-" I stuttered. "I-I'm Shimiko S-Sokaeda."

"Why are you following me?" Tenten asked. "You don't look like you're going to attack...."

"Oh! Um, that! I was just uh, passing by!" I grinned.

Riyuko slapped me.

"You were following me since I left the market," Tenten's eye twitched. "I can sense you. I'm not a genin for nothing."

"A-Ano......E-E-Eto...." My two index fingers pressed together like Hinata. "U-Uhm......I-I...admire you, Tenten-senpai!" I squeaked out. "You'resostrongandallIreallyreallyadmireyou!"

"Uhm.....mind repeating that?" Tenten sweatdropped.

"You're...you're really strong a-and...." I stammered. "I-I really admire you, T-T-Tenten-s-s-s-s-senpai!!!"

"A-Admire me...?" Pink dusted Tenten's cheeks. "I don't know how to respond to that..."

There was an awkward silence.

"W-Why don't you come in? I'll get you something to drink or...yeah," Tenten smiled.

'Reject it,' Riyuko said.

"U-Um, sure!!!"

Riyuko slapped me over the head. 'You're an idiot.'

'I knooooow,' I pouted.
