now!!!

Neji watched atop of a hill as kunai soared threw the air at a dummy tied to a tree.

"She's so graceful." he said aloud to no one, never tearing his eyes from her swift movements. Then he finally decided to go

and talk to her; He got up and slowly trudged down hill.

"Hey, TenTen." He said but she kept attacking the dummy. With her great power he almost felt sorry for the poor thing.

"H-hey." she said out of breath as she charged at the target.

"Um, TenTen I was wondering..." he started, "If you would want to go get something to eat after this?"

"Of course, Neji, I'll go." she replied, then stopped to pull kunais out of the well beaten dummy. On their way to town Bushy

Brow dropped out of a tree in front of them; looking very serious, but it was hard to pull it off with those huge eyebrows of his.

"Neji Hyuuga, I challenge you!" said Lee loudly.

"Okay, whatever." he replied simply, shrugging it off.

"Why are you not intimidated? I am Rock Lee!" asked a very shocked Genin. Before he got an answer Neji and TenTen had

already walked away, Lee was obviously to absorbed in exclaiming his title, that he didn't notice them leaving.

"Well, are you going to fight him?" asked TenTen as they kept walking.

"I don't know. I will easy, but if I say no, it will hurt my reputation." he said not wanting to hurt his ego.

"Okay, you can do it Neji. Like you said it will be easy, I mean it's Bushy Brow."

On the way to town they ran into Lee again, except this time with Gai-sensei.

"Hello youthful beings, life treatin' you good?" asked Gai.

"Neji Hyuuga! Do you except my challenge?" asked Lee, yet again.

"Sure. It will be easy." replied Neji cooly.

"Meet Gai-sensei and me at the park in an hour." said Lee, as they walked off.

"Well looks like our date was cut short, sorry TenTen." he said as there eyes made contact for a short amount of time before

TenTen said:

"Sorry Neji but I have to go." she said as she stormed off looking hurt.

Great, I blew my chance. I mean I really like her, and I don't know what to do. I've never felt this feeling in my stomach

before, could I be in l- no. It's not possible. But could I?

Neji thought as he sat on a stool in front of the ramen stand with his head in his hands.

Thirty minutes went by fast and he noticed that he should start heading over to the park. He got up and walked in that

direction, still thinking about TenTen and how he can apologize to her. He made it to the park about ten minutes before Lee

did, and Neji used that time to prepare by doing his warm-up routine: he did a set of side bends, and bent backwards then

forwards to loosen up his back, by the time he did the last side bend Lee walked up behind him.

"Hello Neji Hyuuga! Are you ready to begin our match?" asked Lee anxious to begin.

"Yea, I guess, I gotta get it over sometime." he said as Lee put his right arm in front of his body and his left behind him.

"And remember Lee, don't use the lotus." said a very proud Gai Sensei that Lee actually was going to fight the number one

genin in Konoha.

"Ready? Begin." said Gai as he walked out from between them and they began.

"Byakugan!" said Neji. Then Lee used a series of punches to his face. Neji turned around and hit Lee in all 64 chakra points

gentle fist style; blocking all his chakra. As Lee fell to the ground TenTen walked over to Lee.

"Lee! Are you okay?" asked TenTen as she glared at Neji accusingly. "Come on Lee." she said as she picked him up and

started to walk to the place were Gai-sensei was supposed to be.

"Where'd Gai-sensei go?" asked TenTen as she tried to support the nearly unconscious Lee.

"Not over there." said Neji. Not that it was any help because they all new he wasn't there.

"Where is he then?" asked TenTen not making eye contact because of what happened between them before.

"I don't know." he said as he looked toward the ground.

"I'm going to take Lee to my house until we can find Gai-sensei. He really needs to get some rest." said TenTen as she

walked out of the park entrance. Neji only stared. He stared so long he couldn't see anything because he hadn't blinked for

so long. He blinked and wiped a tear away from his cheek.

No I'm not crying because of her; I just didn't blink for so long. Yea that's it. I'm not sad at all. No, not at all...

Well that's it. Hope you liked it ) review!! Please!! )
