Chapter 22 | Autumn

Author's Note: This orchard is made up lol.

I want to just thank everyone who made it this far into the story- I know the plot is kinda bad and it seems like I squashed 3 different plots into one nice, big glob. Which, to be honest, I kinda did because I'm one of the most fickle, indecisive people you'll ever meet xD. 

Anyways, sorry for the rant, enjoy the chappy! :3

The vehicle arrangements were the same as always. The orchard was on the outskirts of Tokyo, a place that was less traffic-filled and quite peaceful. The car ride took a while, but it was worth it. Once the groups arrived at the orchard and stepped out of the cars, they could all see that it was fairly large. The sight that greeted them was a large fence, but behind it were a few wooden buildings.

"It's very outdoorsy," Ino explained, "But very cozy inside the buildings. You'll all enjoy it!"

Tenten observed the scenery around her. The grass was a beautiful shade of green, specked with dandelions and other small flowers. A large wooden fence lined the orchard, a natural shade of light brown. It was hard to see much beyond the fence except for the tops of wooden buildings, all the same shade of light brown. Ino lead the group towards an entrance between the fence, and Tenten got a good look at the part of the orchard they stood in. The buildings were somewhat like farm buildings, and past that was more fencing. She couldn't see much, but it seemed promising. Quite a bit of people swarmed around them, all enjoying the beautiful autumn day. 

The group continued to walk past fences, and the scenery turned from woodsy to mostly grassy, not including a wooden wagon filled with many stacks of hay. Two horses were hitched to the front while the back had no barrier, allowing people to climb in. A fence was on each side of the area the wagon was "parked", and a man stood near the fence, leaning against it while holding an old-fashioned bucket that read $1 per adult, 50¢ per child in both Japanese and English. The group climbed in after Ino paid for everyone. Tenten ended up next to Neji, and since the wagon was pretty large, the group managed to all stay on one side while random people who also went on the ride sat on the other side. Children were with their parents and siblings, adults were there, and couples were there. One couple had a tendency to continually kiss, causing the adults to cover the children's eyes. In case you're wondering, no it wasn't Shikamaru and Temari, luckily for the others. 

Tenten shifted positions so that she was facing the front of the wagon, allowing her to comfortably glance outside the wagon while enjoying the ride. They rode across a grassy landscape, seeing the outlines of mountains in the distance. Occasionally, they passed a creek or river, the water most beautiful shades of blue. The group barely spoke as they sat silently in the wagon, although someone would sometimes point out a thing or two about the lovely scenery. There weren't much trees, although when there were, they were colorful shades of either red, yellow, or orange, or a mixture of two or three of those colors.

After a long while, they made it back to the orchard, although the end-of-the-ride location was different. This one had a medium-sized sign that read END which was also in both Japanese and English. 

"Did you all enjoy it?" Ino asked, grinning.

"Yes!" Chorused from the group.

"Next off, they have the most adorable animals here!" The platinum blonde squealed happily, leading the group towards another fenced area, except these fences were those made of the same wood that was built differently. The planks were horizontal and spaced out, letting the animals stick out their heads. However, the chickens had a wire fence with squares large enough for a hand to pass through, allowing people to feed the chickens. Different sections had different animals, and each section had a little feed dispenser with a coin slot. Random cats were walking throughout the area, and one even hissed at Kiba, much to many people's amusement.
