OK, this is my first NejiTen fanfic. How I got the idea for it, I was...dreaming. jk! Anywho, yea it just popped into my head one day, as for the title, i was going to call it something from a phrase from a song that has nothing to do with the story line(genius, right!). well i was listening to my ipod and the song Innocent by Ou Lady Peace came on. thus the title was made. and btw, don't expect my chapters to be too long and updating to be oober fast. i can't type with one hand and my left wrist and fingers have problems(i crack them too much probly).
Chapter 1: Sarcasm
It started off as a usual day of training for team Guy. Nothing out of the ordinary, just usual training. Guy-sensei and Lee were running their usual 50 laps around the village, Neji was dong is usual meditation at the moment, and Tenten, as usual, was sharpening her weapons, getting them ready for her and Neji's usual sparring. Yes nothing unusual about training today. Everyone and everything was completely shall we say, usual, today. All except for Neji, who seemed to be having a concentration problem while he tried to meditate. In about a month or so, the Hyuuga prodigy would be turning 18, and was going to be married off to some unknown woman of the Hyuuga clan and he had just been told this unusual surprise this morning at breakfast. He growled under his breath hoping Tenten didn't hear him.
"Hey, Neji," Tenten asked looking over at him. He just sighed and opened his eyes to look at her. When she realized she caught his glance, she continued with her question, "why were you growling just now? Is something wrong?" He sighed again and shook his head. He turned his head away. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"I'm sure, everything's fine, don't worry," He answered her, avoiding eye contact. Truth be told, The Hyuuga prodigy has had a small crush on the weapons mistress for a while now. But not too long ago, he's realized it was more than just a crush, he accually started to like, even possibley love the weapons mistress. But now he knows that they'll never be. He was betrothed to some woman he has never met before in his life. After this morning, Neji realized he couldn't be too close to Tenten, and he had to stop thinking about her so much. In just couple of months, he was to get married. While he was in thought though, Tenten stepped over to him and stared him right in the eyes. He blinked in confusion. "Uh... Tenten, why are you staring at me?"
"Something's bothering you, I just know it!" She stared deeply into his eyes. If he could, Neji would have kissed her then and there but he reminded himself about his arranged marriage. "Come on, Neji! What's bothering you? And why aren't you telling me? You don't trust me anymore, do you?" She seemed a bit angry because of his silence.
"Yes, you've got me Ten, I don't trust you anymore, infact I loath you with all my heart." Of course Neji didn't mean this. It was just simple sarcasm. But Tenten didn't seem to get it, clueless as she can be. She looked hurt and upset after he said that, but she held back all of her tears and turned them into rage.
"Why you little asshole! You inconsitterate jerk! After all these years of me cleaning up after you and acting as your training dummy, this is how you repay me!? With your lack of trust and your loathing! And to think, I thought you were my friend, Neji Hyuuga!" with that, she stormed off to Kami knows where as tears started streaming down her face.
Crap, how am I supposed to fix this without making things worse for me? I guess having her loath me is better then me having to ignore her without reason. But then, suddenly ruining his train of thought, Lee popped out of nowhere.
"What did you do or say to Tenten, Neji!? I just saw he ticked of and she was crying! What is it that you did to make her so upset!? I mean really, Neji, I know you may be cruel and cold, but to make a woman cry? That is just simply unyouthful!!" Lee was about to punch him, but held his fist back, knowing Neji would've caught it anyway.
"Lee, I didn't do anything, nor did I say anything. It isn't my fault she doesn't understand sarcasm." Neji had gotten up and started walking away. That is, until a strange, green blur ran infront of him.
"So you did, or said something sarcastic then, hmm?" Lee was determined to get to the bottom of this.
"Look, Lee, all I said was that he didn't trust her and that I loathed her, sarcasticly of course, because she wouldn't leave me alone and thought I was hiding something from her. And being her clueless self, she took it the wrong way and stormed off, ok." It kind of sounded better in his head, but atleast Neji got one thing off his back.
"You unyouthful idiot! you know not to be sarcastic towards her! She doesn't understand your sarcasm because you usually so cold and stoic towards others!" Lee then threw a punch at Neji, but this time, it hit. Infact, it hit Neji square in the face, and because Lee punched so hard, it sent Neji flying towards a tree, which caused the tree to almost break completely. Neji knew he was going to feel that in the morning. He got up and rubbed his back, along with the spot on his face where Lee's fist hit. "Now go find Tenten and apologize to her or it will be worse!" Neji wasn't going to stick around to find out what LEe meant by 'it will be worse'. He knew he had to find Tenten and explain sarcasm to her, then apologize of course. But what was he going to do if she asked him if anything was wrong again. He didn't want to lie to her. But it seemed like he'd have to come up with something to say when he found her.
