A few years after the war, I feel like I haven't gotten any stronger that I've anticipated. I sigh as I look at my kunai. For my love of ninja tools haven't absorbed me completely. I spin the knife around my finger. I was stuck in my thoughts.
We nearly survived. We nearly made it out alive. Team Gai. Sheesh. Neji. Lee. I wonder what would happen to the team if one of us died.
No. I didn't want to think about that. I shake my head at the demonic thoughts. Shit. My thoughts made me cut my arm on accident. I grab my bandages and wrapped my arm where I wound myself. Too much thinking makes me reckless. As you can see. I hear someone call my name. I turn as I see dear Neji. I wave at him as he approaches me. He comes and hugs me as I was sitting on top of the tree log in the training field in our home in Konoha. Neji says, "How are you today?"
"I'm great."
"Are you still thinking about the war?"
"Yeah."
"Don't worry 'bout it."
"I'm trying not to, but it's hard."
"Do like you always do."
"Which is?"
"Play with your ninja tools."
I laugh as I push him playfully. I wonder. Neji has been really nice to me lately. Not that it was weird. It's okay. Neji...what's in your mind? Do you like me? I don't think so. Neji's not the type of person to show such emotion like that.
"TenTen."
"What..? Yeah?"
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go to Ichiraku's."
"Ok."
We walk off together to get ramen. Neji kept looking at me weird. I definitely think he likes me. I try not to show it in my face.
"Neji, do you like me?"
He stops and looks at me.
Dumb ass! Why did I SAY that for?!
"Yes."
I look at him.
"Is that wrong?"
IS that wrong...?
"No. It's ok."
Neji smiles at me and holds my hand. I try not to spazz, for my tomboy attitude won't allow me. It was soooo hard!
