Yes! My first NejiTenSasu!
I've wanted to write a story like this for the longest time. This little love triangle amuses me greatly.
...I'm just not good at writing it...
Naruto ain't mine.
--------------------------------------------
Rivalry
--------------------------------------------
She lost track of how many times she has wondered what could have attracted him to her. They never spoke, hardly saw each other, not to mention that one of her team mates couldn't stand the young man.
Sasuke simply told her that she was a girl worth noticing. Hard-working kunoichi who took their job seriously were hard to find in their village. And about the last statement, he didn't care that Neji was her best friend, he disliked the boy very much.
---------------------------------------
When Tenten asked Neji why he hated Sasuke, he replied that what he felt wasn't hatred - he just didn't like him.
When he found out that Tenten was spending more and more time with the black haired boy,then his dislike for him turned to hatred, just because (he told himself) there was no way that he was jealous of Sasuke.
---------------------------------------
Sasuke has wondered why he hates Neji. He wants to know why he ever started to hate him in the first place.
When he sees Tenten smiling and talking to the Hyuuga boy, he losesinterest on remembering why he hated him then and realizeswhy he hates him now.
---------------------------------------
Tenten gets mad at the two prodigies because she is tired of being spied on by one when she's with the other.
---------------------------------------
Neji first starts considering Sasuke a threat when he was assigned to a week long mission and Lee just wouldn't cooperate with him, saying that spying on their team mate was un-youthful or something.
Truth was, Lee was dead-scared that Tenten would catch him.
-------------------------------------
Sasuke had it easy when he went on missions. Simply buy Naruto all the ramen he wants before and after the mission and he would do as he was told to.
And since he knew that Sasuke wasn't the only one in need of assistance, he took advantage of the situation, like any normal person would.
-------------------------------------
Naruto never told anyone that he was a temporary spy for two prodigies of the village. He was happy to know that at least once a month he could get all the free ramen his heart desired.
Tsunade started to get suspicious when the blond kept insisting on giving either of them solo missions at different times, because one should be out while the other was in, he explained.
He also kept saying that jealousy and possessiveness were beautiful qualities in both the prodigies.
------------------------------------
None of the three boys know Tenten has been aware of their spying for a long time. She is only planning on getting back at Naruto, though.
------------------------------------
She still feels bad for taking advantage of Naruto's weakness for ramen. The boy's been on the hospital for three days now for going on a date with her.
She has never seen either Neji or Sasuke so mad at the blond boy. Maybe bribinghim with ramen was a bad idea...but he had it coming. Spying on her while inside the village was one thing, but how dare they make him spy on her while on missions!
But she would be lying if she said she didn't feel proud for making those two men act like that.
--------------------------------------------
I don't like the ending...I really don't --
