Greetings readers,

So this is the first chapter of my story! Please give it a chance to get on its feet first! This first chapter isn't as long as I'd like it to be, but in future chapters it will be longer and much more detailed, thats a promise!

In future chapters, when I come to ending this story, I'd really appreciate reveiws telling me whether you want the story to end as NejiXTenten or SasukeXTenten. Lol I like to plan ahead three steps in advance! ^.^

Thanks!

Neji stared at Tenten.

"Please stop that Neji!" She pleaded, Why must he take every little thing the wrong way? ... Well, this may not exactly be little but still!

He was either choosing to ignore her, or her message somehow hadn't reached his brain.

"Neji!" She begged helplessly.

After a round of trying to shake him to his senses, it quickly became in vain and Tenten decided to give up.

She had dedicated her day completely with Neji. She hadn't been able to see him as much as she'd have liked, due to long missions, helping in the weapons department and finally, meeting up with a particular rival of Neji's.

Everything had been completely perfect, until Tenten stupidly spilled her secret to Neji. She had foolishly thought he would be ready to hear this, to understand. Wrong wrong WRONG.

Tenten proceeded to attack her skull with a series of whacks. She thought if she carried on doing this, then this horrible nightmare would simply wither away.

Just as she was about to deliver another blow to her head, she felt a hand catch her wrist and gentle bring it down.

It was Neji. Tenten looked up at him, confused. Why did he stop me? He should be angry at me, for foolishly falling in love with his rival - Uchiha Sasuke.

Tenten continued to stare into his emotionless pearly orbs. She thought maybe if she looked hard enough, she would find some answers.

Realizing he was still holding onto Tenten's wrist, and in fact, his grip had somehow tightened on it too, he let go.

"N-neji wait!" Tenten called, but her voice somehow hadn't reached him again, because he had already turned around and left.

xX~Next morning~Xx

It was 10 o' clock and yet Tenten remained on her bed sulking. She couldn't help but feel guilty over her actions. Why Neji? She continued to repeat this question, over and over. She wanted to be logical about this, and put herself in Neji's shoes, try and guess how he must have felt.

Tenten didn't feel comfortable about the situation - She felt affection towards Sasuke.

Flashback (through Tenten's P.O.V)

"Tenten,"

Immediately, I turned my head 180 degrees clock wise - the direction my name had been spoken.

I gasped, in horror and shock at the same time, totally making a fool out of myself for being so easily frightened.

Sasuke stood behind me and I merely blinked, trying to be certain my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. However, the next few seconds of my life were absolutely mortifying.

Sasuke began to approach me, and I noticed how lax his stride, his body movements, his everything was. When I looked up at his face, I found myself fighting for life or death, trying to hold back a blush. I didn't know what was happening to me, why I was starting to feel differently all of a sudden. I knew I shouldn't have been, after all, this was only Sasuke. But for some reason, it did matter that this was Sasuke Uchiha.

He swiftly lifted up his arm, and a scroll which looked familiarly like a weapon summoning scroll, was held out in his hand.

I quickly, no, too quickly realized he was giving it to me and look a step forward, but I was getting myself too worked up, and in an unnecessary fit. I accidently misplaced my feet, and tripped over in front of him.

How disgraceful, pathetic, weak, bellow myself, foolish...

My brief self abuse rounds were cut off when I felt a sharp pain in my leg which suddenly caused me to gasped violently.

However, I felt soft hands gently pulling my body up. I thought whoever it was would let me go once I got on my feet, and allow me to half limp half drag myself all the way to the medical core.

So I started to try and place my footing correctly, and was taken by surprise when I was swept off my feet.

"Sasuke what are you doing!"

I received no reply but was satisfied even so. This is the last thing I wanted, but at least I didn't have to struggle to an awaiting Tsunade.

Obviously, I must have fainted due loss of blood because I woke up in the hospital room with bandages wrapped around my right leg.

No one else was in the room, apart from a scroll, placed on the center of hospital bed-side table.

(End of flash back and return to Normal P.O.V)

Tenten sighed. Why? Why did I have to go and fall in love with Uchiha?

Getting bored of doing nothing but stress, Tenten slowly and unwillingly began to sit up in bed, but then sharply turned her head to the door. She could feel a strong chakra presence.
