Sleeping With Charity
Tenten's P.O.V.
I wake up.
It's morning....
Huh?
Since when is it morning?
I hear deep breathing next to me.
Turning around, I see Neji.
Awe! He looks so cute when he's asleep!
But wait...
Why are we in bed together?
I feel a little bit of a draft then, so I look down at myself and see that I'm naked!
And so is he!
Kuso!
What the hell happened last night?!
Normal P.O.V.
Flashback:
'Good afternoon, Konoha High! Ino Yamanaka here!
Don't forget about the Buy-A-Guy Auction tonight at 7pm!
Buy the guy of your dreams for one night and hey, it's for charity so you'll be helping others and yourself at the same time!
Come to the auditorium with your purses full and your pockets overflowing with money!
You never know how much you have to pay for love.
Hope to see all you girls there!
See ya!'
Once the announcement was over, everyone in Tenten's class began to talk all at once.
Tenten felt a tap on her shoulder, so she turned around and saw her best friend Temari smiling brightly at her.
"Oh my god!"
Temari squealed.
"This is so perfect!"
Tenten just stared at her best friend with confusion written all over her face.
"Uh hello! Did you forget about Neji already? This is your perfect chance to snatch him and my perfect chance to snatch Shikamaru!"
It took a few minutes but Tenten finally registered what Temari was saying.
She has had the biggest crush on Neji Hyuuga since he moved to Konoha freshman year.
She loved everything about him: his looks, his delicious smell, and even his I-don't-give-a-shit attitude.
In fact, she liked that part of him best because she wanted to be the one he does give a shit about.
And now, senior year, was finally her chance to make a move since all senior guys had to be in the auction, so that meant Neji too.
It was perfect. Well almost...
"Yeah, it may be my perfect chance, Temari, but it will also be a bunch of other girls perfect chances too."
"Ah, don't worry about those whores. They ain't got nothing on you, Tenten."
"Heh, yeah right."
Five minutes later, the bell sounds, signaling the end of the school day. Unfortunately the bell is being kinda ghetto right now and sounds like a chicken that's choking. Every time it signals the end of the day, boys crack up like immature idiots.
Tenten always just rolls her eyes at them. 'Thank god my Neji isn't like that.'
She and Temari grabbed their things and walked out of the class into the crowded hallways. Behind them, Kin, an exchange student from the Sound Village, was glaring at their backs.
"We'll see about that Tenten. We'll see who will get Neji Hyuuga."
Kin whispered this but even so Temari and Tenten turned around and asked, "You need something Kin?"
'Kuso' Then Kin smiled the onliest you-can-tell-it's-fake smile. "Nothing at all girls."
Temari gave her the if-looks-could-kill look and Tenten just stared at her blankly as if she didn't care. Both girls turned around and waved Kin off. "Whatever." They said this in unison and walked away with a sway in their hips with every step as if to say 'you can't touch this'.
Kin left shortly after, mumbling something that included many words unsuitable for underage kids.
On their way to their lockers, which were conveniently right next to each other, Tenten dropped one of her notebooks. When she bent to pick it up, she was knocked down from behind and she fell on the floor.
"Oh man, I'm so sorry."
A hand appeared in front of Tenten's face and when she looked up, her heart almost stopped. There, right in front of her, holding out a hand to her, was the one and only, Neji Hyuuga.
Tenten wanted to say something but decided that if she did, she'd sound like a bumbling mess. So instead she took his hand, blushing as he helped her off the floor.
"Um... Uh... Thanks, N-Neji."
"You're um... welcome."
Neji was still holding Tenten's hand and when he realized this, he quickly let go almost blushing. But not quite cause Neji Hyuuga does not blush.
"Uh..."
They stood staring at each other for what seemed like hours to them but was really only 30 seconds. Finally Neji spoke.
"So-" But he didn't get very far.
Tenten blinked a few times as if coming out of a daze and abruptly took a step backwards bumping into Temari, who was smiling at the pair like a little kid getting presents at Christmas time.
"I-I gotta g-go."
And with that Tenten quickly turned around, almost knocking over Temari, and dashed away towards he locker.
Temari looked back at Neji with an apologetic look and then went off after her best friend.
When Temari left and was out of sight, Neji turned to the lockers behind him and started banging his head against them.
'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!'
He kept doing this over and over repeatedly until he finally was starting to get a massive headache. It felt like his brain was smashing against the inside of his skull. So he slumped down onto the surprisingly clean ground and started to massage his temples.
After a couple minutes of that, Neji finally got his headache to subside a little so he started to think. But before he had a chance to, he heard footsteps coming from around the corner. So he quickly scrambled to his feet, right as someone rounded the corner. He couldn't have anyone see him in this state. Luckily, that someone was his best friend, Sasuke Uchiha.
With a sigh of relief, Neji slid back down onto the floor.
Sasuke quickly ran over to him fearing that Neji might be hurt.
"Yo. You good?"
Neji looked up at Sasuke with sad eyes.
"I'm afraid not..."
Sasuke sat down next to Neji.
"Something happen between you and Tenten?"
Neji looked at Sasuke with wide eyes.
"How did you know?"
Sasuke laughed at the look on his friend's face.
"Don't worry I didn't suddenly develop psychic powers or anything. I walked past her in the hall. She was hyperventilating."
Neji brightened.
"Really"
"Yeah. So what happened?"
"Well we talked... Sorta..."
"Oh?"
"Yeah I kinda accidentally knocked her over..."
Sasuke looked at him like he was crazy. So he added quickly
"I help her up though!"
"Jeez Neji! Did you at least say something to the poor girl?!"
"Well... I was going to. But then she left so suddenly..."
Sasuke shook his head in disappointment.
"Dude, you need to make your move. Like, soon."
"I wanna try being friends with her first. Don't wanna rush things, y' know?"
Sasuke stood up, pulling Neji up with him.
"Whatever you say man. But remember, if you stay friends too long that's all you'll ever be."
Sasuke started towards the school exit. But Neji wasn't following. Sasuke turned.
"You coming?"
Neji seemed to snap out of his trance then and quickly shook himself.
"Yeah."
So they left the school leaving only two others left in the building.
"Tenten!"
After Temari left Neji, she went looking for her friend.
"Tenten! Where are you?!"
Temari walked past a bathroom near her and Tenten's locker, and heard the sound of rapid gasps coming from the other side of the door. Temari could recognize that hyperventilating as Tenten's. And sure enough it was Tenten leaning against the sink gasping when she walked in.
"Oh my goodness, Tenten! Calm yourself!"
After a few more breaths, Tenten finally relaxed. A bit.
"Sorry. I don't know what got into me. After I left I went to out lockers screaming at myself but then I saw Sasuke so I ran in here. You don't think he'd tell Neji do you?"
Tears were coming to Tenten's eyes now.
"Oh, Tenten."
Temari gave Tenten a hug to comfort her.
"So you got a little nervous. It's natural. Don't forget, you'll have a chance to redeem yourself tonight when you buy him"
Sniff. "Yeah I guess you're right."
"That's my girl. Now remember, bring a lot of money because with that look of his, Neji is going to have a lot of offers."
"I'm bringing 525,500 yen." (A/N: I really have no idea how much that's worth so if it's only a little just pretend it's a lot)
"Good, good. Well come on. I'll give you a ride home."
The two girls left the bathroom unaware that there was someone else in their with them.
`525,500 yen? Now that's not nearly enough Tenten. Neji will be mine!`
