I have not written about my favourite pairing in Naruto for 2 years now. Honestly, I wrote this during my exams and after several weeks, I forgot about it. However, last night while deleting some folders in my laptop, I saw the document for this story and immediately remembered the time when I wrote this, albeit the memory wasn't good coughtoughchemistryexamcough . I would like to stress that I don't have much writing experience, but I hope this is bearable, and hopefully enjoyable.
Disclaimer: I wanted to own Naruto, but I don't have enough money for it. I want to own Neji for myself, but I figured out he's more suited with Tenten. Then..what do I own? Nothing. Except the semi-angsty feeling due to the exams and the bad grammars.
Acceptance
a NejiTen one-shot by HimeHikari
She vowed to herself, to never fall in love and to not get attached. A Kunoichi's life is a harsh one and love was never part of it, or so she thought.
"We're losing him!" Tsunade-sama's voice echoed in her ears. That was the only sound that she heard amidst the chaotic surgery room.
They're losing him
He'll be gone
Forever
Sakura gently tapped her on her shoulder, and she was woken up from her trance. It was only then that she noticed that tears were flowing from her eyes.
Why am I crying?
I don't have any reason to.
However, deep inside her heart, she knows she was lying.
Sakura guided her into the white, long and silent hallway of Konoha Hospital.
"We'll try our best to save him Tenten," Sakura gently assured before sprinting back into the surgery room. She was left all alone in the white, endless hallway.
She never felt so lonely and helpless.
She was sent on an S-Rank mission, and she will be gone from Konoha for a month. She was glad as this will set her mind to the thing that is most important. Being the best Kunoichi. She does not have the time to think of other nonsense. She does not have time to think about him.
She knew she was lying.
She looked around her room. She just returned from the mission and was too tired. Too tired to notice the lean figure near her window.
The figure stepped into the ray of moonlight.
She recognizes the figure immediately. She does not want to accept it, but she knew deep down she felt relieved.
He was still alive.
However, she pushed that feeling away like it was poison.
"As long as it takes for me to eliminate this feeling," she answered.
The figure draws closely to her, and within a second, she was trapped between him and the wall.
She stared at his beautiful eyes, and she saw everything. Everything that she tries so hard to deny. Her shell is shattering and she trembled.
"Why are you doing this to me Neji?" She asked, her voice wavering.
He does not answer, instead he captures her lips softly in the sweetest kiss she has ever had.The only kiss she ever had. She tasted love, and he does not need to answer with words. All the emotions that she tried to conceal and deny, surfaces during the kiss.
That night, she accepted. She accepted the love that she denied for so long. And she felt completion being one with him.
Author's Note: Ah yes! Pretty crappy isn't it? But anyways, do review and tell me what you think. I'm sorry for the angst bot because I was angsting when writing this story two months ago. It just seeped into the story from me I guess.
Please review and you'll definitely make me happy.
