Filler Chapter: Meeting With Old Friends
Writer's pov: Anna leaves team 7 and goes to the training ground and trains for a short period. She trains till sunset.
Anna: *panting* I think I've trained enough for today. *she goes to the stream and washes her face then takes a deep breath. She then goes to sit on a log, brings out a scroll and does hands signs. It smokes and a sitar and a flute appears. She takes them and puts them on the log. She creates a shadow clone of herself and the clone takes the flute. She begins playing the sitar quietly but beautifully and the clone plays the flute.
*imagine the lullaby in episode seven "the assassin of the mist" that's what she's playing. Song reference: Evening by Toshio Masuda.*
She keeps playing to her heart's content. She hears rustling of bushes and stops.
Anna: I know you're there, Neji. You don't have to hide. *turns to look at him*
Neji: Hm,*smirks* I expect no less from you Anna. *smiles at her, she smiles back at him*
*Lee appears from behind him* ANNA, IT HAS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME!!!!!!
Tenten: Lee!! Stop screaming like that!
*She hits his head*
Lee: Ow!! *runs to hug Anna and swirls her in the air* I've missed you Anna!!!
Anna: *giggles* I've missed you too, Lee. You can put me down now. *he puts her down* Tenten!!! I've missed you!! *runs to hug her*
Tenten: I've missed you too, Anna. *hugs her back*
Anna: *looks at Neji* I missed you, Neji. *She hugs him. Neji blushes profusely and hugs her back with one hand.*
Neji: I missed you too.
Anna: *breaks from the hug* What are you guys doing here?
Lee: We were having our training not too far from here. Then we heard your music and followed it back here.
Tenten: Yeah you know, your music is so amazing. You were even playing my favourite lullaby that you composed.
Anna: Thanks, I was actually heading home now. It's kinda pretty late.
Lee: We'll walk home together, four of us.
Anna: Yeah.*she packs her instruments in the scroll and puffs it away. Then they start walking home.*
Neji: By the way Anna, congratulations on your promotion of being a part time jonin.
Lee & Tenten: Oh yeah, congrats Anna.
Anna: Thanks, guys. How did you know about it?
Lee: Guy-sensei told us. You really deserve it. The power of youth inside you is indeed blooming. I wouldn't expect less from a prodigy. *gives a thumbs up and winks giving a flashy smile*
Anna: Nah, I'm no prodigy.
Neji: Lee's right. You really deserve it.
Ten-ten: Yeah, but don't forget you're also a genius, Neji.
Anna: Tenten's right, ya know? That means you and I are rivals.
Neji:*looks shocked* What?
Anna: *giggles* I'm just kidding! *winks giving him a closed eye smile which makes him to blush*
Then they arrive at her house
Anna: Thanks for walking me back home, guys.
Tenten: Yeah, see you soon Anna.
Lee: Good night Anna, we will meet again very soon. *he winks giving her a flashy smile.*
Neji: Good night Anna.
Anna: Good night! *She waves at them and enters the house.* I'm home!
Kakashi: Oh Anna. Welcome back, where were you?
Anna: I was at the training grounds. I also met with some friends, Guy-sensei's students.
Kakashi: Oh yeah, those are Neji Hyuga, Tenten and Rock Lee, am I right?
Anna: Yep! I'm starving.
Kakashi: *chuckles* I've already made dinner. Come and eat.
Anna: Thanks, big cousin.
They both eat and head for bed.
