Note:
Konnichiwa all! Well. I was asking (forcing more like it.) to but me the Naruto videos when I thought of this idea! Sorry if I am not able to fulfill any of the requests. Currently running a fever. Anyway. Please enjoy this 4th Fan fiction of mine! And don't forget to leave a review before you leave!
Arigato! –Bows-
-------------------- 2 years before Tenten and Neji got engaged (23 June) --------------------
"Take this Neji! Rising Twin Dragons!" screamed Tenten. But as per usual, Neji had dodged every single weapon she had aimed at him. "I am not…huff…done with you yet!" she declared. "Take this!" she jumped high into mid-air before she threw her final kunai, which was aimed for his throat. Neji got a shock but kicked the kunai away.
"As usual. You win." Tenten said, panting from exhaustion. They had been training for approximately 3 hours without a single break. "C'mon" Neji said as he walked towards the central part of Konoha. " My turn to treat you, right?" Tenten's face lit up straight away as she ran towards him. "About time! It has always been my treat." She teased.
--- Ichiraku ramen bar---
"SLURPPPP" Could be heard coming from the noodles that were being gulped down by Konoha's Number 1 Hyperactive and loudmouthed ninja, Uzumaki Naruto. Neji Lifted the cloth that had the words of the ramen stand on it. "Keh" could be heard coming from his lips as he was repulsed by what he saw. A muffled "Yo" could be heard while he was still gobbling the noodles.
"Ah! Ohaiyo! Naruto-kun!" Tenten greeted him cheerfully. "Ohaiyo Uncle Teuchi and Ayame-chan!" "Oho! So Neji-kun and Tenten-chan are here too! What would you like to have?" Teuchi asked happily.
"One regular meat and pork ramen please!" The two asked at the same time. This caught Naruto's attention and he turned to look at them, though he turned away after a few seconds. Teuchi and Ayame just grinned widely.
---After lunch---
"Ahhhh. That was a nice meal!" said Tenten, patting her full belly. "It was nice 'cos I paid for it wasn't it?" Neji asked teasingly. "Part of it." Tenten grinned back. "I gotta go home now. Or my mom would nag at me till there was no end! See you tomorrow!" Tenten yelled as the distance between them widened.
---Neji's thoughts ---
Never thought I'd fall for her.
Yeah! Who'd thought you'd fall for a tomboy-ish girl huh? You should have gone for others. You have a whole fanclub for god's sake!
… Wait. I thought I sealed you up! What are you doing back out?!
You can't shut your inner self!
Whatever. Just shut your mouth.
Hmpf.
--- Tenten's house ---
Kyaaaa! I am at loss! I haven't even bought Neji's birthday present yet! What Am I going to do?! I don't even know what he likes! Maybe I should cancel tomorrow's training session with him? Look round town? No… he would get angry. Oh! I know!
She rushed out of the house and headed towards the Hyuga manor.
--- Main house ---
"Stop! Where do you think you are going huh?!" A random guard asked. "Is Hinata around?" Tenten breathed heavily.
The guard scoffed at her, but eventually still brought her to where Hinata was. "Hinata!" Tenten jumped on her. "We need to talk." She said.
10 minutes later
Hinata gasped and stared at Tenten, who was blushing heavily. "A-Ano…Tenten-chan…Y-you like Neji-nii san? A-And trying to get h-him a birt-thday gift?" Tenten gave a little nod. They both blushed so heavily you could practically see smoke emerging through their ears.
"O-Ok. He likes…" Hinata started.
--- 1st June training time with Neji and Tenten ---
"Tenten."
"Hmm?"
"What's with you lately?"
"Nothing"
"Really?" He gave that I-don't-believe-you look." Then why are you not focused?"
"Nothing"
"Are you hiding something?"
"Nope"
"Why are you acting weird?"
"no reason"
"…Are you running a fever?"
"Nuh-uh Opps Gotta go Neji See you!" With that, she ran off.
---Neji's thoughts---
Ooooo! The girl of you dreams has been avoiding you eh?
Shut up. She did not Avoid me. She was keeping a secret.
Yeah right. Just admit it. You think she found a dude that she loves huh?!
Get the hell out of my head.
--- 2nd June ---
Neji's mind
God. Tenten is an hour late! She is never late!
Maybe she went on a date with her boyfriend!
Shut the effing hell up. There. She is here. Ha!
Keh.
Real world
"Neji! Neji!!!" Tenten screamed from afar. "Sorry! I can't attend today's training session!"
Neji was stunned. "Why?" He asked in an irritated and pissed sort of tone.
"You will see it! Don't worry! I gotta go! I'll meet you tomorrow, under the Sakura tree in the park at 8 pm sharp! Don't be late! Ok?" She exclaimed as the pitter patter of her footsteps were getting more and more distant.
--- 3rd June, 7.45pm, Konohakure's memorial park. ---
Neji's warped mind
I am so nervous I came 15 minutes early.
Yeah. What kind of a prodigy does that?
Get lost.
Whatever.
Wait. What do you think Tenten wants to tell me about?
I thought you asked me to get lost. Now you are talking to me?! And No! I don't understand the complex female mind and don't intend to. I ain't gay. God! You aren't fit to be called a prodigy. Fancy forgetting an important day, Jeez.
Huh? Oh no! There she is! What is the time now? Shoot! She must think I'm an idiot for coming this early.
Huh? No, no. She already knows you are one.
Shut your mouth before I throw you out of my mind for good.
Reality
"Neji!" Tenten ran towards him. "Happy Birthday Neji!" Tenten looked at the ground, trying desperately to hide the fact that she was blushing. "Here!" She said as she held out a gift wrapped in a paper coloured with a light shade of pink. Neji was shocked.
"Huh?" He asked in a confused sort of tone. Then he realized what was his idiotic inner self talking about. He had forgotten his very own birthday, and then he realized none of the branch clan members had remembered it too. So it was really special to him that she had remembered. He grabbed her and pulled her towards him, and gave her a kiss. A really long and nice one too. Tenten was shocked at first, but after awhile, she regained her senses and enjoyed every moment of it. He pulled away after that and whispered in her ear, "I lo-love you Tenten. This is the best present ever."
Tenten, noticed the way he stuttered and realized this was a first for him. She smiled and gave him a hug. "I love you too Neji…" She said while she tiptoed to press her lip against his again.
