"… Come in." A boy opened the doors and walked towards the person in the chair.
"Hiashi, dono… Mission completed. Target; annihilated."
"Very good." Hiashi responded. "I have another mission for you." He nodded.
"Yes."
"Your next target is this person." Hiashi threw a sheet of paper at him…
"Hm. She's my next target? She doesn't look hard to kill." He smirked.
"Here's what you have to do…
(1) befriend her
(2) pretend to be her boyfriend
(3) get close to her
(4) kill her
"Seems simple enough, no?" The boy smirked.
"Much easier that I thought."
"She is going to go to her second year of high school. You will be in her class. Everything you need to know about her, is on the sheet of paper. Your schedule is on the sheet."
"Fine…" The boy responded.
"School starts tomorrow, so you better not be late now."
"Yes…" The boy folded the paper and put it in his pocket
"You know all the rules, right?" Hiashi asked. The boy nodded and opened the door.
"I know them." The boy responded and allowed the light to absorb into the cold dark room.
"Neji. The most important rule of all is-" Hiashi was stopped.
"Don't fall in love with the target." Neji turned around and smirked at Hiashi. "Now, I haven't had a problem with that rule now, have I?" Hiashi stood up from his chair.
"You're the only hired killer I have left." Hiashi responded. Neji nodded.
"I won't fail you." Neji answered and shut the door and headed for Konoha.
I know you will not fail. I trust that you will annihilate this person like everyone else. Why? Because you are the Neji Hyuga… and you contain no emotions for no one. And no one, will get in between you and your mission.
- At Konoha-
"Tenten, wake up!" Tenten's mom called to her.
"I'm already up, mom!" Tenten called and ran down the stairs. "Alright, I'm leaving."
"Aren't you going to have breakfast?" She held a box of cereal out.
"No. I don't have enough time. I have to go meet Shikamaru. Bye!" Tenten started to head towards the door.
"A date before school, Tenten-chan?!" Her mom looked totally shocked.
"No, no no! Mom, we're just friends. And we happen to be in the same class. So, that's why I'm going to school with him, okay? No other reason."
"… Alright then… Have fun at school." She smiled. Tenten nodded.
"Sure." She responded and ran out.
Knock. Knock.
"Yeah, yeah. Comin'." Shikamaru opened the door.
"Hey, Shikamaru." Tenten smiled.
"Hey. Let's go." He responded and we walked to school together.
-First class-
"I'm Hatake Kakashi. I'll be your teacher." He responded. "You all pretty much know each other, right?"
"Yes." We all responded.
"Well, that's good. We have a new student who will be studying here." Kakashi motioned someone from outside to come in. A boy with long dark hair walked in, hands shoved in his pockets. "This is Hyuga Neji. He's new, so treat him nicely, alright?"
"Yes." We all responded.
"Now to find you a seat…" Kakashi looked around. There was a free seat next to Tenten. "Oh. Why don't you sit over there…"
Next to that girl? Neji thought. Cute… and he walked up and took a desk next to Tenten. "I'm Neji. What's your name?" He asked. Tenten turned and smiled at Neji. She looks like the girl…
"Yep. I'm Tenten. Nice to meet you, Neji." She smiled.
Her name's Tenten, hm? Target found. Neji smirked to himself. He looked away and pulled out the sheet of paper, and looked at the picture. Yeah. That's her… this will be easier than I thought. He shoved the sheet of paper back in his pocket.
-At the Lockers-
"Haha, we're lucky, hm, Shikamaru?" Tenten laughed.
"Yeah. Our lockers are next to each other. Well, I have to get to my next class. I'll see you at lunch, Tenten." She smiled and nodded.
"Bye." Tenten responded and grabbed some books out of her locker. Neji leaned against his.
"Hey, Tenten." Sasuke walked by.
"Hm? Oh, Hey, Sasuke." She smiled and shut her locker.
So it's true… she does have guy friends only… She walked past Neji when he called her name.
"Tenten…" She turned around.
"Hi Neji. Uhm, don't you have a class to go to?" He nodded and pulled out his schedule.
"Who's Guy?" He asked.
"Oh. He's the gym teacher. I have him too. That's coincidental. Do you want to go to class together?" She asked and smiled.
"Fine." He responded. Damn him. He put us in the same class?! Yes, it will help with the mission, but… it won't be a coincidence when we have ALL the same classes…
-Second class (Gym)- Tenten's POV
"I'm Might Guy!" The bowl haired cut man responded. He had thick eyebrows, and a green jumpsuit on… how attractive… We all responded with…
"Hi."
"Today, we will organize groups. Sit with a group of friends, and I shall approve." There weren't many kids in this class, except… me, Neji, Kiba, Shino, Chouji, Sakura, Ino, Temari, Gaara, and Naruto. The groups were pretty obvious. It was Ino, Sakura and Temari. Shino, Chouji and Naruto. Leaving me with Kiba, Neji and Gaara.
"Alright!" Gai shouted. "Group 1 is Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, And Sabaku no Temari. I APPROVE! Chouji Akimichi, Shino Aburame, and Naruto Uzumaki are in Group2. I Approve! And Group 3 is Kiba Inuzuka, Neji Hyuga, Gaara and Tenten. Which, I do NOT approve."
"Why not?" I asked.
"My dear Tenten, wouldn't you like to be in a girl's group?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Nope. I'm fine being in this group." I smiled.
"…" Neji looked away. God… why does she have such a cute smile?! It's so annoying…
"Neji… Neji?" I called his name. He looked at me. "Come on. We have to run around the gym…"
"Run?! I love to run!" Kiba smiled. I grinned at him.
"On your mark, get set, GO!" Guy shouted. Kiba ran around the gym faster than Ino and Shino and tagged Gaara who ran quite slowly, so that when Naruto and Sakura already past him.
"Go Gaara!" I shouted. When he finally reached, he tagged Neji who ran and caught up to Chouji quickly, and tagged me. I had to catch up with Ino who had to go twice. Right behind me, was Shino. I soon past Ino and so our team won. Coming in second, was Ino's team, and last, Naruto's team.
"AW MAN!"
"It was Chouji's fault." Shino said adjusting his glasses.
"You know I can't run!" Chouji complained.
"Great! We lost!" Ino complained.
"Yeah, to a bunch of boys!" Sakura complained.
"We came in second though." Temari who was probably the only one not complaining.
"I'm NOT a boy!" I shouted back at Sakura.
"Hm? Oh! Tenten! I didn't see you. You blended right in." Sakura smirked.
"Why you-" Before I could say anything else. Neji stood in front of me.
"Leave her alone…" Neji growled.
Neji… I smiled behind him.
"Why should I? It's not my fault she's such a boy!" Sakura scoffed as Ino laughed.
"She's not a boy. She's a girl just like you. Except, Tenten's got more skills than you." Neji smirked. Sakura's smirk turned upside down. "Yeah, smirks aren't your thing." The bell rang and Neji walked away.
"God, what's his problem?!" Ino whispered loudly.
"I don't know.. But he… like attacked me…" Sakura muttered.
"The bastard…" Temari cursed. I quickly ran after Neji.
"H-Hey!" I grabbed his shirt. He looked at me.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Thanks… back there…" I looked away. "You stood up for me. No one ever does that… besides Shikamaru… and… I really don't have that many friends… besides Shikamaru and Sasuke…"
"That's it?" Neji asked. He looked surprised. I nodded but then looked back up at him.
"Yeah, well, I have another friend now." I smiled. He looked away.
"Hm?" He questioned. I laughed.
"It's you, Neji. You're my friend too." I smiled and walked off to my next class. Neji smirked to himself.
Step 1 down… He checked off his list and walked to his next class.
X (1) befriend her
(2) pretend to be her boyfriend
