Chapter 1
Your Prov
You wake up in your bed with Ten Ten yelling.
"Tenshi, Tenshi!!! Get up, Get up!"
You rubbed your eyes.
"What?"
"It's Rock Lee"
"What about Rocky?"
"I think he's in trouble!"
You jump out of your bed.
"What kind of trouble?!"
"The bad kind"
You gave a big sigh. "Oh great, and why on THIS day?"
"Meet me at my house, and hurry!"
You dressed up and met Ten Ten at her house.
"Nice place"
You knocked on the door.
"Tenshi, HELP HELP!!!!!"
Oh no, ROCKY! "Don't worry, I'm coming in!"
You slammed the door open. It was dark, pitch black.
"Man, how do you get it this dark in the morning?"
You had trouble looking for the switch. You finally found it. When you switch it on your heard
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!"
Balloons were everywhere and confetti was getting stuck in your hair. Your in shock.
"What...what is this?"
Your mouth was wide open. Ten Ten went up to you.
"It's called a surprise party silly"
"OMG, I don't know what to say"
You really wanted to say that this was the worse day of your life and leave you alone, but you didn't.
"It's, amazing, omg, thank you Ten Ten!"
You gave her a hug.
"But, it wasn't my idea"
"Yeah, it was mine!"
Rock Lee, or Rocky went up to you. You gave him a hug. "Thank you"
Everyone was there.
Everyone was having fun, except for you. You were sitting on a windowsill looking outside.
"You know, I heard staring outside for a long time can make you go blind"
You looked behind you. It was Neji. You looked at him and chuckled.
"No, that's the sun"
"I was kidding"
"You kidding? Yeah ok"
He rolled his eyes. "May I?"
You nodded your head, scootched over and let him sit with you.
"So, why are you all alone on your birthday? C'mon, your 13 now, a very special age, a very special day"
"No it's not a special day"
Neji looked at you with confusion. "Why not?"
"Nothing"
You looked back outside. Neji did the same.
"I won't ask you anymore if you don't want to talk about it"
"And besides, if I tell you, you wouldn't understand"
"Well, right now, I could pretend that I understand, but I can't"
"Why can't you pretend?"
"Because if you can't tell me, I can't pretend"
You gave a big sigh. "Ok, fine, I'll tell you"
Neji was glad.
"I'll tell you...some other say"
"What?"
"You could pretend some other day"
"That wasn't fair"
"Life ain't fair Hun"
Naruto was running around the place.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" asked Kiba.
Naruto was soo jumpy. "I found ice cream"
"So?"
"A Lot of ice cream! Yeah, Ice cream Ice cream Ice cream we all yell for I scream!"
Kiba hit his forehead. "Oh great, and it's I scream, we scream, we all scream for ice cream you ass"
Naruto was running with a HUGE spoon of ice cream. Then he tripped and the spoon came flying! All of a sudden, it hit Neji's face.
"What the hell!"
"Sorry, Sorry, Sorry!!!!!!" yelled Naruto.
Neji was about to get up and beat his ass but you held him aside and shook your head. You took your finger, slid it across Neji's cheek where the ice cream was and licked your finger.
"Mmm, Oreo, my favorite" You smiled.
Neji sighed, then smiled too.
"C'mon, let's get you cleaned up" You both went in the bathroom. You helped wash his face.
"Ouch, ouch"
"What, what happened?"
"Soap in the eye, soap in the eye"
You took a wet paper towel and took out the soap.
"Better?"
"Yeah, thanks Tenshi"
The party was over. Even though this day was the worse day of your life, it wasn't that bad. It was night. You wanted to talk with Neji alone. Just hang out with him.
"Hey Neji!"
He looked back. "Yeah Tenshi"
"Do you wanna walk with me?"
He looked at you. "I'd like that"
You and Neji were walking along. You saw a mother duck and her ducklings. (I think they're called that) You took out crackers and broke them into little pieces. You fed them.
"Hey Neji"
He was leaning against a tree.
"Mhm"
"I, uhhh, never mind"
"What?"
"Never mind"
"Ok. Hey Tenshi"
"Yeah?"
"What are under those gloves?"
You wished he didn't ask that.
"It's...ummm...well...you see..."
"Tenshi"
"Yeah"
"Can't you just show me?"
You unbuckled all the buckles. You were hesitant. You slipped it off. It was two birthmarks, one on each arm. One of a dragon, the tail went around the arm, the other was a tiger, and the tail went around your other arm. His eyes widened.
"Why do you hide this?"
"Because, I'm ashamed of it"
"Why?"
"Because, it's a curse mark" You weren't looking at him.
"Tenshi, look at me"
You did what you were told. He took of his headband and the bandages on it. He had a mark too. You were surprised.
"You're not alone, Tenshi"
You walk up to him and touched his mark. All of a sudden you and Neji have a vision. You saw each other when you were little. You saw Neji when he was little and he saw you when you were little. You saw sad things. Very sad things. You let go when you couldn't handle it anymore.
"What just happened?" you asked.
"I saw, you're past" he looked at you.
You gasped. You didn't want him to see certain things. He put on his headband back on, you put your gloves back on. He looked at you with a serious look.
"You know too much" he said.
You got scared.
"From this day on, we are rivals"
You were confused. "Why?"
"Because I'm upset?"
"Why?"
"You know things only my family needs to know, and because of that, we have to be opposite from friends"
A tear went down from your eye.
"Don't cry"
"Why don't I have the right to cry? I just lost my best friend, give me a reason why I shouldn't cry"
He wiped the tear "Because I don't want to remember you crying when we depart"
You faked a smile.
"I'm sorry" and he walked to his house.
"Go fuck a goat" you mumbled" and walked home.
