Choose A Weapon, Pierce My Heart
(Their very existence was wrapped up in those all-seeing white eyes, and yet it took them so long to see what was always right in front of them, a weapon mistress. One hundred themes on Neji and Tenten.)
01: Walking
"Gai-sensei? Why do we have to run 2000 laps around Konoha today?" The weapon mistress whined. They had just completed 10000 push-ups, 5000 kicks on each leg, and 15000 jumping jacks.
"2000 LAPS?! THIS IS SO YOUTHFUL!!! CAN'T YOU FELL THE YOUTH POUNDING IN YOUR VEINS?!" Lee had yelled.
If you don't shut up, my kunai are going to be pounding in your face, you freaking idiot! Tenten thought furiously. Although before she could do said action, a rather disturbing scene was playing out before her eyes.
"GOOD JOB, LEE! YOUR ATTITUDE IS THE PRIME EXAMPLE OF YOUTHFULLNESS!!!" Gai shouted happily, with a twinkle in his eye.
"OH, THANK YOU SENSEI, YOUR WORDS OF YOUTH HAVE INSPIRED ME!" Lee responded with equal vigor.
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!!"
"L--!"
"AUGH, SHUT UP!" Neji had yelled. Everyone stared. Neji's outburst was unexpected, and he was foaming at the lips a little.
"Um... you know what? I'll start on the laps now!" Tenten hurriedly said while starting to run.
"That's the spirit Tenten! Be youthful!!!!" All of Konoha heard faintly.
"Hn, guess I'll start now." Neji mumbled quietly, finally recovering from his episode, then dashed off.
"YOSH! I SHALL START NOW GAI-SENSEI!!" Lee said, or rather yelled.
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!!"
"LEE!!!!"

"One--huff, huff, - thousand --huff, huff,-- nine --huff, huff,-- hundre--huff, huff-- d twe --huff, huff,-- ty!—huff, huff…" The weapon mistress gasped.
Good, if I make it before 8:45, I can still take a shower at least. I haven't seen Neji, maybe he just ignored Gai-sensei. Tenten mused inwardly.
"Nine--huff--teen--huff—left!" Neji panted. Wonder where Tenten is. She's not the type to give up so easi—Neji's thoughts were broken with a loud as hell shriek.
"Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Running as quickly as he could, the Hyuuga activated his Byakugan. He scanned the immediate area, and he found a female figure on the forest floor, apparently struggling.
"Kuso! Friggin' sprained my leg." Tenten cursed. Damn it, damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!
"Need help?" A slightly deep voice asked.
"Huh? Who the fuck ar—Oh. Yeah, please?" She asked the Hyuuga. Damn, the pain gets worse and worse…
"Okay, here. Grab my shoulder." Neji gestured. The female brunette grabbed on and they started walking, or in Tenten's case, limping. After walking for a couple of minutes in a comfortable silence, they both realized that they had stopped running.
"DAMN!" Tenten yelled.
"Shit." Neji said.
"So… how the hell are we supposed to explain how we stopped running?" Tenten asked forlornly.
"Well, we can say that we were so struck by youth, that we had battle." Neji said lethargically.
Tenten stopped. What… the… fuck? Then she spotted the small smirk on his face, and realized he was joking. The realization alone made Tenten roar with laughter. They continued walking to the hospital.
Gai was about to pop up and reprimand them, but saw how Neji had made Tenten laugh.
"Ah… the youthfulness of love. Oh well, I'll give them 5000 laps tomorrow." He declared.
Owari.
