The Tale of the Curling Iron
neji, tenten, and a curler. oh, and lee. who coined a new name for neji.
He had averted the first disaster about a week ago, when he ran away at her mere suggestion of him dying his hair platinum blonde. Like Ino. Like Naruto. Like Lady Gaga. Until now, he still couldn't suppress the shudders that would wrack his whole body every time he would remember that horrifying suggestion.
But the current situation was scarier. Sparring had just begun, and Tenten, instead of flying far back to fully take advantage of her specialty, was circling him, a feral look in her eyes.
And with a curler clutched in her hand.
"Neji-kunnn."
He had never been the receiving end of that voice, the one dripping with acidic honey, and he began to understand why men were afraid of women, especially kunoichi, why Sasuke was afraid of Sakura, why Naruto was afraid of Hinata, why everyone was afraid of Ino and Tsunade, and so on and so forth.
"Neji-kunnnn."
The seemingly harmless contraption that was her current weapon of choice, was terrifying him so much that he couldn't move from the initial stance he took earlier. Luckily his Byakugan was on and he could see her even when she was at his back, her eyes maniacal, her lips curled, baring all of her teeth.
But—"Neji-kun," and she pounced!
Shit! My blind spot!
A positive psychopath was now sitting on his back and crowing in triumph, as he ate dust.
Then silence followed, and Neji feared for his life. Tenten's head bent down, and she whispered, "Switch the Byakugan off," before blowing into his ear. Now that was an effective deterrent for his blood limit.
He could practically hear Tenten grinning something predatory.
Her soft, soft voice was carried by the wind into his ear, "Now, Neji-kun, let us curl your hair."
He did not know where he got the strength, but he threw her off and bolted for his life, clamping his mouth shut to prevent himself from letting out the shrill scream that was threatening to escape.
"NEJI! GET BACK HERE! I WANT MY OWN PERSONAL GOLDILOCKS!"
He ran even faster.
"Neji, my eternal rival! Your youthfulness has made you run so fast! I will run along with you!"
"…"
"Why hello there, Tenten-chan! How are you?"
"…help me catch Neji, Lee! I need him as my Goldilocks!"
"A Challenge! Never fear, Tenten-chan my dear! We shall catch Neji-locks!"
"Oh Lee, there is a reason why I put up with you!"
/NEJI ABUSE! and meh, he's ooc./
