"Remember last week?" Tenten rasped to her male teammate.
Neji smirked. "Don't remind me."
Tenten looked up at the dark starry sky. Then thought back.
(Flashback)
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!"
Tenten looked up from her ramen and blushed at Neji and smiled.
Lee and Gai had just arrived from doing several laps around Konoha.
"Can't they shut up?" Neji griped.
"I'm afraid that's impossible." Tenten replied simply.
"'Anything's possible with a little hard work!' Well then with a little DUCT TAPE they'll shut it for once." Neji almost broke his chopsticks in his rage.
"Shh, here they come. Annoying or not, they're still one half of team Gai." Tenten reasoned.
"Hello Neji, Tenten! Wonderful day we have here! May we please join you on your little-" Lee giggled mid-sentence, earning him a "da faq?" face from Neji, "-ramen date?"
This earned him a whole "IM GONNA KILL YOU BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE AND KILL YOU AGAIN" face from Neji, and a red blush from Tenten.
Neji suddenly yelled out exactly that. "IM GONNA KILL YOU BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE AND KILL YOU AGAIN!"
Lee smiled at Tenten. "Your new boyfriend is strong, but he cannot scare me with those words."
And with that, Tenten screamed out, "BOYFRIEND? IM GONNA MUTILATE YOUR HAIR AND TRASH YOUR GREEN JUMPSUIT!"
Lee passed out, stood up again and begged to Neji on his knees, "Please call her off! My glorious jumpsuit! And my hair! Please Neji! I will never live without my jumpsuit and bowl cut!"
But Tenten was armed with shuriken and kunai. She threw a shuriken to distract Lee. Once he was cowering in a corner, she threw two kunai at Lee's shoulders, chopping off the ends of his glossy hair before burying themselves into the wall behind him.
"Tenten!" Lee cried out. The kunai had only snipped off an inch of hair, and it already looked better. "My hair!" His eyes moistened.
Tenten was furious. Lee knew that Tenten liked Neji, and he practically insulted her right there. She threw an assortment of weapons, precisely to rip and gash his jumpsuit. His sleeves fell and one knee was completely visible. When Tenten was finished with his suit,we was just another shinobi, in a green shirt and matching shorts.
"Let's finish off that hair of yours." Tenten snarled, ready to walk over and shred his hair until he was bald.
Neji's hand rested on her shoulder. "Tenten. Stop. It's alright. Besides, imagine how you would feel if your hair was cut." Neji stroked his long hair, smiling to himself.
Tenten was flustered. She wore a face of shock, and simply replied, "I wouldn't care. My hair would just get in the way," she pointed to the chocolate brown hair tied tightly into buns, "that's why I wear my hair like this."
Now it was Neji's turn to be flustered. "You don't care about your hair?" He possessively grabbed at the end of his hairtie and held it.
Tenten shook her head, slightly grossed out.
Neji gasped. He joined Lee.
Then Tenten figured it out. She slapped Neji in the face. "Ouch! How unyouthful, Tenten!" Gai sat there where Neji had just seconds ago.
"Gai-sensei! Where's Neji?"
"Find him." She once again slapped her sensei.
"Tell me!"
"I sent him to the training grounds, and OUCH!"
Tenten turned away, slightly heartbroken. Neji just left her there? For Gai-sensei? She walked though the streets of Konoha on the way to their training grounds. The sight she saw when she arrived was-"Neji?"
He was tied to a tree, gagged, and his hair cut into the infamous bowlcut Lee was weeping over, and wearing a jumpsuit.
Tenten started laughing hysterically. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NEJI!"
Neji activated his Byakugan and stared daggers at her smiling face.
Tenten untied him, ungagged him, and laughed at him. "HAHAHA-HOW-HAHAHAHA-DID-HAHAHAHAHA-" she couldn't speak.
Neji simply pulled off the wig and straightened his hair out. But the jumpsuit...
(Flashback end)
"Hey, Neji?"
"Yeah?"
"You looked cute in the jumpsuit."
