its_game_time. She knows why.
Admittedly, the side-long glances and general attention had seemed fairly odd at first. Especially after spending the first few months of her residence in Oto confined to her quarters. With good reason. Orochimaru had still been uncertain about giving her free reign to walk about the base unsupervised. He had even went as far as to assign a guard inside of the kunoichi's room at night to ensure that she was not attempting some sort of escape. But as time passed on as it always did, the stares and wandering eyes became easier and easier to ignore. After all, she supposed, when you were chosen to become the personal sparring partner to Uchiha Sasuke, a bit of recognition and curiosity was in order.
"I guess that's how he felt," Tenten muttered quietly to herself as she quietly stepped through the doors of the library.
Suffice to say, the Snake Lord had gathered a substantial collection of books and scrolls over the years, ever searching for a way to gain eternal life so that he could further achieve his goal to learn every single jutsu both known and unknown to man. Included the forbidden techniques, if his appearance and tactics during the Chuunin Exams not too long ago had proven anything.
Ever the seeker of knowledge, Tenten had found herself drawn to the worn pages and musky scrolls.
"Here again?"
And apparently, she was not the only one. Then again, as they had discussed on several occasions, this had been his sanctuary long before Tenten ever arrived. And on more than one occasion, the kunoichi wondered if that was simply a trait that the Leaf had instilled in them, the want to know and understand more of the world. From what she had seen of the others, the Oto-nins seemed only interested on improving their fighting.
Shrugging at the thought, she strolled over to the nearest shelf of scrolls and began browsing through the talismans in an idle manner. "What can I say? It's like chocolate."
"...Pardon me?" The corners of her mouth quirked up just the tiniest bit as she followed the sound of his voice towards the end of the row. She could practically see his brow lift with muddled curiosity.
"Dark, rich, addicting..." she listed off, turning the corner to find herself face to face with the traitorous shinobi himself. In his hand was an unmarked scroll that looked more than out of place among the others. But rather than give any attention to it, Tenten continued on. "A pain to deal with at first, but after some effort, it's not so bad."
She could only smirk with a level of satisfaction as Sasuke furrowed his brows in confusion before holding out the scroll for her to take. Another message. "Something tells me we're not talking about the library anymore."
And in spite of herself, Tenten allowed the smirk to sharpen and morph, only adding to the devious look in the kunoichi's eyes. "...Who said I was talking about it in the first place?"

I hate Sasuke but when he comes with superAWESOMEtenten, it works. XP
