The first day that the prodigy, eighteen year old Neji Hyuuga saw seventeen year old Ten Ten was a lovely summer's day with spring breezes, clear sky and it seemed like nothing could get any better. Until Neji passed a street he had never been to before, it seemed like a rich street with posh people, Neji decided to wander downwards and he passed a house that looked quite different to others, it didn't have much prestige in it and it seemed well, dull.

There was also a lone girl sitting on the porch, looking out at the street, she looked about his age.

She had two buns on the top of her head as if she hated having her hair down, she definitely did not seem like one of the squealing girl fans that Neji was chased by. He took a time to register her looks, she wasn't that bad of a looker, quite beautiful actually. Neji was stunned at his thoughts, here he was, staring at a girl when girls should be staring at him.

The girl seemed to realize he was there and she smiled warmly, getting up and resting her arms on the railing of the porch, she bent her legs so that her back was arched inwards and she looked at him.

"Hey, who are you?" Those were the first words that were spoken to Neji and he was shocked to say, he loved her voice, there was a little something in it pleasant to hear, not like a screech from the girl fans.

"I am Neji Hyuuga-" Neji was cut off by her.

"Ohh, I've heard of you. The prodigy"

She knows about me.

Neji nodded. "And who are you?"

"Why do you need to know?" She gave a little cheeky smile.

"Because I told you my name"

"Well I never said I was going to tell you my name, did I?" She was right, Neji became slighter bummed.

"Your eyes are really handsome"

She straightened her back and gave another cheeky smile, walking indoors with a gentle click of the door. Neji was stuck to the ground, she liked his eyes? They were nothing though, just a light pair of eyes. He blinked and shifted one foot after the other and began to walk down the road to where a route seemed familiar.

Neji passed a group of familiar people, his friends shouted the acknowledgement of Neji and a blonde spiky haired boy clapped him on the back.

Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, and his cousin, Hinata was there. Sad to say it was a triple date. Naruto was with Hinata, of course couldn't get anything out of her due to Hinata always blushing and mumbling when he was around, pathetic. Sasuke was with Sakura, quite an active couple, always touching and playing with each other. And Shikamaru and Ino, not quite as active, there was always Ino nagging Shika and he was always a lazy ass. But they still liked each other even with all the coarse obstacles.

Neji was all alone, and within a split second, that girl from earlier on popped into his head.

"Hey Neji, wanna hang with us?!!" Naruto yelled at him while slipping his hand around Hinata, Neji growled, he always had disapproved such a scum bag laying hands on his cousin.

"No" He was neither in the mood or fit to be in the group at this time, he was dateless and a sour lemon.

"Aw come on, we're all gonna go to the carnival" Neji perked a little bit, the carnival was always held every now and then and it was a big thing, nearly all of Konoha would be there.

He always tried to hide it, but he secretly enjoyed the carnival and he always tried to resist going, especially now, he definitely did not want to go, due to the fact that everyone would be kissing and going on rides in pairs. Neji had no other partner and he scowled.

"Nooo" He whined and walked off.

"What's up with him?" Ino added in as she placed her hands on Shika's chest and clung onto him as he sighed. Neji kicked a pebble as he walked back to the girl's house that lived on the street.

He found a shady tree and sat underneath, resting his head on the tree trunk. Even though it had that cooling breeze, it was definitely hot. Neji took off his casual top, hoping no one, especially girl fans would spot him. Neji looked around, it was a nice spot.

It had shrubs that he was covered by in front of him so that no one could look in, except for next door which was two stories, and that girl lived there. The grass was a bit green here and the tree gave lots of shade, there was a bit of a broken pipe and clean water trickled out into a bucket. Someone probably put it there.

He sighed and placed his top over his face, shielding out the sun so he could relax and maybe doze off to waste time.

Up above, the girl was in her room, her room looked down on the whole street and her 'special' spot. She opened her window and looked around, taking in the fresh air, something caught her eye and she looked down.

There was that boy Neji, topless. She blushed a bit, smiled and bit her fingers.

That boy had abs, muscles and everything, she couldn't help staring at him. She was dazed and the boy snapped up, the shirt fell off and he looked up, growling to himself, not realising she was even there.

He leaned over and cupped his hands, then lifting up to drink the water he had gathered.

"I see you've found my hiding spot" Neji looked up to see the girl staring down at him, smiling. He quickly shoved his shirt on, he felt hot again.

"Not a very good hiding spot since I found it, is it?" The girl smiled, she liked the way how Neji spoke his words.

"Why aren't you at the carnival?" Neji scowled as she asked the annoying question which everyone would ask him as soon as they saw him.

"Because, I don't like carnivals" Neji trailed off, looking away.

"You sure? Seems to me you have no one to go with because your friends have dates and you don't, and you think people will think tat you look like a pathetic lonely fool. You seem the type that would like the carnival" she rested her elbows on the window ledge.

Neji grunted and looked back at her.

"Why aren't you going to the carnival?"

"Same excuse"

"Which one?"

"That I don't like carnivals" She gave another cheeky smile, Neji scoffed, she was alone too.

"Then maybe next time I can take you to one" He smiled a little and she beamed.

"I'd like that" She looked down at the panels on the house.

"Come here and step on that" She pointed to a protruding panel that was about three steps high, he jumped on and stood up, his face was just beneath hers and she leant down, looking at his face closely. Her face was so beautiful up close.

She lifted her hand and touched his face softly, he began to shiver uncontrollably, he'd never been touched by a girl like that before.

She let his hair trail through her loosely clamped fingers and took time to look at his face.

She took her hand back and smiled at him, her face was still in front of his and he gripped the ledge of her window, tip toeing like a little kid trying to reach something.

"I like your face too" She said.

"What's your name?" His voice croaked a little.

"What do you want my name to be?" She brought her head back up again and rested it on the window ledge next to his hand.

"Ten Ten" Neji grinned and she looked half surprised, half impressed. "It says it on the card if you're wondering" He pointed to a standing up card that read 'happy 17th Ten Ten' She smiled at him with admiration.

"Has your boyfriend given your present yet?" she smiled in amusement.

"I don't have a boyfriend"

"Happy birthday then" Neji stepped off the panel and walked away, she watched him walk off and closed her window again.

Neji walked up the street again, pleased to know her name.

Ten Ten. Here and there.

He could still feel the tingling running through his body when she touched his face. Neji went back his house, every one of his friends were there. They had his spare key.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?!" He looked at his gang that were sitting at his dining table, Sakura was on Sasuke's lap, Naruto had his hand around Hinata's waist (growl) and Ino was besides Shika.

"Sorry Neji, can we crash here tonight? Someone left the only key indoors!!" Sakura yelled in Naruto's face and everyone nodded with agreement.

"Fineee!" He growled, his friends had just wrecked his thoughts of her.

"So what were you doing all that time? We came here over an hour ago and you weren't here" Neji was stunned, he didn't even know it was an hour, it felt like 10 minutes to him.

"I was – I was … resting" The others ignored his hesitation and Naruto nagged.

"Neji when are you going to get a girlfriend?!! You never hang out with us anymore, hurry and get a girl!! I don't care if she's ugly just get one" Naruto laughed.

"You're such a dobe!"

"Neji ignore them, they're immature" Sakura rolled her eyes at the boys and Sasuke kissed her, resting his hand on her thighs.

"ahh!" Shika jumped a mile as Ino placed her hand on his crotch, she began to rub and he moaned a little.

"Will you stop that?! – ahh!" Shika whispered frantically at her and Ino shook her head flirtatiously. Neji growled at all of them and went to his room, slamming the door, shutting out the outside world so he could be alone with him and his thoughts of her.

Yea okay, just to clear a few things up first. They are all…the highest rank of ninja (I forgot the name). Yea and…Neji is really.. not himself kind of… anyhoo. Please review me even this story is crap.
