"Go away!"

I hate you.

"But Honey!"

You hurt me.

"No!"

You know i could never live to see that, how could you hurt me like that

"Honey at least Say Good bye I'm leaving."

I creak open the door and rush to my Dad.

"Dad, I'm going to miss you, I love you be safe."

"I will, dont worry panda, I'll be back."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

I think he crossed his fingers...

"Honey, I'm going to miss you, Dear, I love you with all my heart."

She leaned in for a hug, I walked away.

"i hate you." I didnt look back as I passed her, tears rolling down my cheeks.

How could she talk about me marrying neji.

"Why?"

she knows i never can or will, even be at his wedding...

"You know why." my eyes dripped as I ran into my room.

Now it two weeks later, and they arent home. I was stupid I dont hate my mom, she didnt mess anything up. It's fine and I need to tell her I love her.

My name is Tenten, I'm 14, and my parents were supposed to be back 4 days ago, I've been watching the news constantly for anything about them, now they're supposed to be back tommorrow, i was told they needed to extend theyre stay 5 days ago.

The news ended, i looked at the clock, 6pm. I got up and walked to my room where i change my clothes into sweats and a tank top, then called Neji.

the phone rang twice.

"Hello?" Came my favorite hyuga males voice.

"hey Neji what are you up two?"

"okay Ten, we both know you didn't call to see what i was up too, whats wrong? are your parents supposed to be back tommorow?"

"yeah, uhh how'd you know?"

"Well incase you never realized it, you always call me around six the night before they come asking what I'm up to, So yes you can come over, i'll meet you halfway, at the coffee shop in 15 k?"

"oh, ok yeah 15 min. alright got it see you then!" i hung up and began packing, clothing for tommorow, i'm wearing my pj already, my toothbrush, my brush, my phone and 40 bucks, i slipped on my shoes locked the door with my keys and took off toward the coffee shop where Hyuga Neji was buying 2 drinks, wonder if ones for me..?

"Hey Neji," I smiled and waved.

"Hey," you know, I'm the only one he speaks to in sentaces at a time, "Here, Hot chocolate."

"Aww thanks Neji." I took a sip and spit it out on the sidewalk as he was raising his cup to his mouth.

"Neji, I got yours," we switched cups, he didn't even wipe off my 'germs' haha, "How do you drink that stuff??"

"It tastes good to me, it's simple, unlike you i dont need all the chocolate."

"Aww but Nejiiii, the chocolate tastes so good! here try it." I offered him the cup.

"No, thanks," I glared at him and he sighed talking the cup from my hands, he raised it to his lips and drank some, and didn't spit it out on his doorstep!

"See that wasnt so bad!" i laughed and he opened his door.

"Make yourself right at home, but seeing as your here half the time anyways."

"Haha wow Neji. Hello i have a drawer here, which i need to go through i've been missing some clothes...." I was sitting on his couch and he was in the kitchen doing who knows what.

"Hey, whatchu doing?"

"Looking to see what i have for dinner, how about take out?"

"Sure, get whatever i can deal."

"Ok, you can watch Tv, i know your staring at the remote."

"The news isn't on for an hour."

"Total drama Island is on."

"Omg!! it is your right!" i turned it on, the episode where gwen faces the masked serial killer with a chaisaw and a hook! haha.

"So when do we have training?" I asked as he walked into the living room and took a seat next to me on the couch.

"Well we should be able to fit some in tomorrow, before you go home I hope, we've been slacking."

"I know, my fault sorry." So this is Hyuga Neji, my best friend, but he is also the greatest guy I've ever met! I mean he has a soft side that he doesn't show anyone but me. I almost Feel bad because he's given me his life story and i haven't told him anything about me, but i cant bring myself to talk about myself. when i took him to meet my parents before they left, my mom pretty much said that i loved him and was going to marry him...Infront of him! after insulting many things about me, and other things, also inffront of him. I'm just glad that nothing awkward.

"So, ten, are we just going to forget what your mom said when I met her?"

"I'd appreciate that."

"Ok but can you please at least tell me what she meant?" he looked at me with that smirk on his face.

"Yeah, uh, she has an overly active imagination, and when i would talk about my friends you were the person i mention most so she kinda just assumed..." I was looking at the beverage in my hands when he chuckled.

"Sorry, So you've heard my lifes story, when am i going to here yours?"

"Your Not..."

"Why not?"

"Because it's not important, ok?"

"Ok, but-" the doorbell rang. I watched him get up and pay. when he was done he got plates and utensils for us.

"Thanks." I said as i began serving myself, thats when it got awkward, we both reached for the rice but i ended up grabbing his hand and as cliche' as that sounds i got nervous and blushed. i quickly released his hand and began eating. and changed to the news channel, turning the volume down for the piontless ten minutes before the news starts.

"As i was saying, but I dont know anything about you or your family, and i really wish you would trust me enough to tell me about them."

"Neji, i do trust you, i trust you with everything I am, and thats why I cant tell you."

"Well why cant you?"

"I will tell you someday, When I feel my life is in danger, but today is not the day."

I know the day, unless something else happens.

"That doesn't make any sense, and whats with the lost face?"

"It will when your told, and I'm fine."

"o..k." he didn't say anything more, he looked like he was concentrating very hard as i turned up the volume on the news.

"Tonights news!" i listenined intently but heard nothing so i changed it to a music channel.

"Hey, Ten?"

"Yeah?" I asked.

"We'll always be friends right?"

"Best Friends, Neji, no matter what happens, i'd better be first choice as best man in your wedding."

"Or the bride according to your mom."

"Yeah..." I wish..."but hey, best friends, you'll never forget me, right?"

"I would never, I promise, and I'll always be there, I pinky promise just for you."

you might have to break that promise.

"Ok good, never break a pinky promise."

"Which reminds me, I'll be right back."

"ok.." Well that was awkward. He reappeared holding a small box.

"Ok so i saw these the other day when i was out and i thought they were perfect for us." He handed me the box, and i opened it. I must admit i was really surprised, and i smiled alot, i really liked it i leaned over and hugged him, something i have dont twice, something practically no one else had done. and he hugged back this time.

I removed the necklaces from the box, the were interlocked pinkies, it was so cool.

"Thank you neji," i said handing him one and kissing him on the cheek, which caught him off guard, i looked at the clock and it was some how 9.

"But, by accepting this, you are promising you will tell me one day. and if i ever see you not wearing it, your telling me everything about you. deal?"

"You must really want to know, in that case i must never remove it."

"I hope you wont and hope you do." I smiled. then sighed.

"I will tell you one thing, if you promise not to tell anyone else, or dwell on it, ok?"

"Ok, I promise."

"do you care about me?" He nodded without hesitation.

"Neji, this is a warning, you cant get any closer to me, i am here now."

"That doesnt make sense."

"your the genious. I didnt want you to make sense of it, though i need you to."

"Your abnormally mysterious."

"I know, and you need to know this to, when everyone turns on me, you must also turn."

"Ten-"

"Neji, I am serious. listen to me, this is real. I am going to bed, i'm tired, good night."

"oh,uh, good night tenten." He replied, i helped him clean up the leftovers and then I went to bed, i slept on his bed, but on the oppasite side he sleeps on and yes he was sleeping there.

The next morning started like any other, Neji woke up first, took a shower, woke me up, and I took a shower. I came out and got dresses in a tight blue tank top and a pair of sweat pant like capris, that were black. I walked into the kitchen and saw Neji reading the newspaper and sipping his coffee. ew.

"Morning Neji, are we still on for training?"

"Morning Ten, yeah in a few hours."

"ok, hows your coffee?" i asked as i seaarched the cabinets for my hot chocolate stashe.

"uh, it's not coffee..."

"then what is... omg are you drinking hot chocolate!?"

"Yeah, it tasted good last night."

"What!? so wait wheres the stashe?"

"Hidden."

"your kidding." I walked over to him and took the cup from his hands, sitting across from him i sipped the cup and smile as he stared at me with shock.

"Ok, fine then." he stood up and opened the freezer, and pulled out hot chocolate packets, wow.

"Neji."

"Yeah?"

"Your weird, but very smart." I smiled.

"Thanks?"

There was knocking at the door.

"I'll get it." I got up and wandered over to the door. I opened it to find shikamaru.

"Hi Shikamaru, how are you?" I asked smiling, him and neji are good friends too, but i guess thats cause they're both really well smart.

"I'm fine, can I come in?"

"Of course! Neji Shikamaru is here!!" Man what time is it...

I looked at the clock and it read 8am.

"Shikamaru, i didn't know you were awake this early..." Neji told him.

"Well normally, I'm not." He replied, "Uh Neji i need to talk to you... alone." He looked at me and i looked back smiling, "Tenten, you need to wait outside, or in Neji's room."

"Alright, fine." I walked out and into nejis room little did they know i could hear them.

"Uhh, neji I dont know how to tell you this but you are going to have to help her through the next couple , orders from the hokage..."

"Ok, but why if you dont mind me asking?"

"Well theres been an interception with her parents, they were ambushed, her mom, she's....."
