Chapter I – Hiroki Aikawa & Flashbacks
Even before the sun raised, Hyuuga Neji and his female teammate, Tenten, trained very hard. By this time, they were covered in sweat. The bun-haired kunoichi leaned on a tree and panted. She stared at his white-eyed teammate for a moment 'Look at him, he's so strong… he's… he's just like him…' a small smile crept at her face
"Tenten," Neji spoke flatly "You're spacing out again" his words were so calm and cold. You wouldn't even realize that there was a hint of concern in it
Tenten shook her head and let her thoughts go "Uh… sorry…' she said in a low voice 'yeah, they're the same in a lot of things but Neji's just too much of an ice cube'
-Flashback-
10-year-old Tenten ran through the corridors of the Ninja Academy 'Damn alarm clock for making me late!' Tenten was too busy cursing her alarm clock to notice the raven-haired boy who was walking the opposite way. Just like what fate had said, they bumped into each other
Tenten glared at the boy "CAN'T YOU SEE THAT IM IN A HURRY OR ARE YOU JUST PLAIN BLIND!"
The boy glared back at her "Well, haven't you heard that THERE SHOULD BE NO RUNNING AT THE CORRIDOR!" he yelled
Now, they were having a glaring contest. Who was winning? How should I know, I'm just typing this thing. Before Tenten could get a kunai and stab him, one of the teachers, Iruka, had come to the rescue
"Now, now, children. Apologize to each other and get this over with" Iruka said with a big juicy sweatdrop his back
"BUT SENSEI, IT'S HIS FAULT! HE WASN'T LOOKING!" Tenten pointed at him, who was currently trying to calm himself but…
"WELL, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WAS RUNNING! IT WAS SAID IN THE SCHOOL RULES THAT YOU SHOULD NOT RUN IN THE CORRIDORS!" he lost his calmness. His eyes were flaming from anger
Tenten shot him an 'i-will-kill-you-just-wait' glare "Are you running for student council president or something? FYI, the elections were finished last month, dumbass" (Kazuko: I don't know if 10-year-olds swear but I know some who do)
Iruka sighed "Say sorry or else" And everyone in the school knows that when Umino Iruka says 'or else' it means something REALLY bad
The two became very scared of just thinking of what will happen to them when they don't follow him "SORRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY!" they cried at the same time
Iruka just smirked. He just loves it when everything goes his way "Now, there will be some changes in your class. Tenten and Hiroki, you will become classmates"
Their eyes widen when they heard that they were going to be 'classmates' "B-But IRUKA-SENSEI!"
"Iruka-sensei, I seriously DO NOT want to be classmates with this… this… I DON'T KNOW IF THIS THING IS REALLY A PERSON!" Tenten tried her best not to swear but her 'inner-self' was forcing her and her inner-self is JUST too good with her convincing powers
"Iruka-sensei, DO NOT TORTURE ME LIKE THIS!" Hiroki glared at Tenten who returned it to him
A vein popped out of Iruka's forehead and his eyes twitched "SHUT UP YOU DAMN BRATS! YOU WILL BE CLASSMATES IN MY CLASS IN MY CLASS AND WILL APOLOGIZE . IS. THAT. UNDERSTOOD!" the students who were watching gulped and hurried to their classroom
The two gulped "H-Hai, Iruka-sensei" stiffly, they walked to their classroom
-End of Flashback-
Tenten giggled a little when she remembered these 'Hiroki… I wonder how you're doing now'
Neji noticed this. His left eye twitched when Tenten giggled. Tenten isn't the type of girl who giggles over nothing. Only fangirls and sadistic girls do that. Oh no… nah, Tenten can't be either of those two.
Tenten sighed again 'If only Neji couldn't be a little like Hiroki-kun' Memories kept on passing. God knows why.
-Flashback-
Tenten and Hiroki walked to the corridors avoiding each other's glances and cursing each other in their thoughts
'Bitchy Girl' (Hiroki)
'Asshole' (Tenten)
'Weapon-Freak' (Neji)
'Rule-Freak' (Tenten)
'Weirdo' (Hiroki & Tenten)
'Die Hiroki' (Tenten)
'Die Tenten' (Hiroki)
'Burn in-' their thoughts were cut off when they reached the classroom
"Hell…" (Tenten & Hiroki)
They both sighed as they entered the room
"Ohayou gozaimasu, Tenten-chan!" her friend, Sakura, greeted "I thought you were in Izumi-sensei's class. Why are you here?" she asked when Tenten sat beside her
"Blame that guy" He pointed at the boy faaar away from them.
"Who? Hiroki?" Tenten nodded and glared at him. Hiroki felt that someone was looking at him, so he turned around to see her. Gladly, Hiroki returned the 'I-will-kill-you-after-class' glare and then started a glaring contest
The contest stopped when Iruka came in "Ohayou, Children"
The whole class stood up "Ohayou gozaimasu, Iruka-sensei" they greeted and sat down then Iruka started talking
As Iruka talked, Tenten didn't pay attention at all. All she heard was "Blah… Blah… Blah… Kunai… Blah… Blah… Blah… Blah… Blah… Taijutsu Blah… Blah… Blah…" Well, she was in her own world. In that world, there's a signs which says 'How to Torture Aikawa Hiroki' and there were a lot of Hirokis being punished in several painful ways by none other than her. Ah… how we all love fantasies
"Tenten…" Iruka called out
Tenten was startled and immediately stood up "H-Hai, Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka sighed "Answer my question"
Tenten sweatdropped and nervously laughed 'Damn Hiroki… Damn Iruka… Damn WORLD!'
"The answer's Genjutsu, dimwit" a white-eyed boy whispered (Kazuko: It's so obvious who he is)
A vein popped out "Genjutsu, Iruka-sensei" then she sat down
Tenten turned to the long-haired boy "Hey, thanks for that. By the way, my name's Tenten. And you are?"
"Hn…" was the boy's response
She rolled her eyed "Fine, be that way" Sigh… there's just too much jerks and living ice cubes these days
After some hours, which seemed forever to them, the bell rang
"Finally…" Tenten muttered
"Class is dismissed" Then ALL the students ran outside their respective classrooms which caused a slight traffic. Okay… the corridors were full and Tenten was stuck in the middle
"DDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN!"
After some minutes, Tenten finally got out. Her hair was down and it was in a mess
"Oh God, why do you hate me so"
"Shuddap Ten," a familiar voice said
Tenten turned around to see who this person is and she saw no other than her newly announced rival Hiroki Aikawa. Ah, how nice.
Tenten glared at him "What'cha doin' talking to meh, Huh?"
Hiroki sighed "Look, I'm sorry for bumping into you and being such an asshole"
'So God doesn't really hate me, eh?' A grin appeared at her face "Apology accepted. And I'm sorry also"
They laughed a little then, Tenten noticed something that she didn't notice before. He had a guitar which obviously means he plays it
"Uh… do you play the guitar?" she pointed at the guitar next to him 'Well duh, he does. That's why he has a guitar. STUPID TENTEN!"
Hiroki chuckled "Yeah, but I'm no good"
"Aw.. c'mon pwease play for me…" Tenten did her 'ever-so-famous' puppy eyes
"Alright" he took the guitar and took it out of the case and started playing
"You were so clever,
You kept it together today,
By the way,
I'll no longer ignore you,
I wanted to show you again,
I'm your friend,
Sometimes we just pretend.
And all I can say is you save me,
Changed all of the things that have made me,
Entertaining,
Thoughts are raining,
Down We Fall,
It's all okay,
When I say,
You and I,
Take your time,
I can't wait,
To see you fly.
You don't have to wonder,
I've finally discovered tonight,
Where we're at,
This is just the beginning,
It's all that I'm tryin' to say,
If I may,
You're never in my way.
And all I can say is you save me,
Changed all of the things that have made me,
Entertaining,
Thoughts are raining,
Down We Fall,
It's all okay,
When I say,
You and I,
Take your time,
I can't wait,
To see you fly."
"Whoa, you're TOTALLY awesome!" Tenten's eyes glittered as she looked at him
-End of Flashback-
Ever since that day, they became good friends. Soon, Tenten became kinda fond of him.
-Flashback-
'C'mon Tenten. You can do this' she gathered all her courage and went to find Hiroki. But instead, she bumped into Hiroki or vice versa
"Oi, Tenten" he said "So, what're you gonna tell me?"
Tenten blushed instantly "W-Well .., you see—"
"Listen Ten, I gotta tell you something"
Tenten's blush slowly crept away "What is it?"
"Oh uhm… why don't you go first?" Hiroki insisted
"No you" (Tenten)
"No you"(Hiroki)
"You" (Tenten)
"You" (Hiroki)
"YOU GO FIRST, DAMMIT!"
Hiroki sweatdropped. He guessed it'd be better for him to do as she says… or else.. "Alright. Since I know you want it straight to the point, I'll tell you. I'm moving to Hidden Serenity Village"
Tenten felt her heart is slowly being broken when he said that "W-What?"
"I'm moving to Hidden Serenity Village" he repeated
"B-But, why?" Tears were forming and she couldn't do anything about it nor can she do anything about this
"Well, my parents said so and… I have to respect their decision" he looked up at her "Well, I'm done. What were you going to say?" he asked as if he hadn't said anything
"Well, even if it's useless to even tell you, I still will. Hiroki, I think I love you"
Hiroki's eyes widen for a moment. Then, he smiled "You should've told me earlier. Ten-chan, I love you too"
Tenten blushed a little before her eyes twitched "Is that true or are you just lying?" she was about to leave but Hiroki grabbed her wrist
"Really Ten, I do" he hugged her
-End of Flashback-
During that moment, Tenten felt whole.
"Tenten," Neji spoke "You're spacing out…. Again" he said flatly
"Tenten," a familiar voice said
Tenten looked at the place where the voice came from. There, she saw a face that was so familiar. Yes, it could be no other than
"Hiroki…"
Hiroki smiled and approached her "It's been a long time, Ten-chan"
