Summary:
Neji has a secret he needs to tell Tenten, but it seems Tenten has been keeping a secret as well. Hell breaks loose and disaster can't be far behind as new relationships form, old ones break, and everything is messed up. Rated T for language, etc. Pairings in the beginning will change.
This is the first story I don't completely plan out, and the first story that is more than two chapters. The first chapter is very short, but please don't think it's lame because of the beginning! I'll get the next chapter up tomorrow if I can, but if I can't, it'll be up by Tuesday at the absolute latest.

Chapter One: Prologue
Neji walked around the town, looking for Tenten. He had a secret to tell her, and he had to tell her now before he exploded. A few people waved their hand and greeted him, but he merely sped past them, not even sparing his trademark 'hn' that only he and Sasuke had mastered. As she speedily walked down a road, he knew he was nearing her. He rounded a corner to see something he never wanted to see in his whole life. Tenten was walking with Sasuke Uchiha, holding his hand, and smiling.
Neji stopped and immediately dashed backwards, hiding behind a building. He peeked out of the side and looked at the couple. Sasuke and Tenten seemed to be saying their good-byes. Sasuke moved forwards, gave Tenten a little kiss on the cheek, waved, and walked away. Neji took a long breath in, and exited his hiding place. Tenten turned around and saw the Hyuuga boy walking towards her, trying to act as if she wasn't there. "Hey, Neji!" she greeted warmly as she walked towards him as well. She rose a hand in welcoming.
Neji brushed his shoulder against hers, whispered, "Congratulations," and continued walking off.
Tenten froze in her spot with her hand still in the air. Her hearts beating was faint, as well as her breathing. She turned around, intending to explain what was happening, but when she did, he was no longer there. "Neji," she whispered inaudibly at the spot he should have been in.
I told you it's really short. I know you can't really review on this chapter, but if you have anything to say about it, please review. The later chapters will be longer than this, I assure you. Thanks for reading this, and expect better things than this in the later chapters!
