Disclaimer ; If I owned Naruto, well let's just stop at that.

Authors Notes ; May contain spoilers, but it just takes place after Naruto Shippuden when everyone is around 20 years old. This is also my first time writing ANGST. So, it may not be very good.

'Nejiten'

All It Takes Is Love

"They gave each other a smile with a future in it."


When would he finally realize he was in love? When would she finally realize he loved her back?

When would it occur to them that all they needed was each other?

"We have to hurry before it's too late," he said to her, in a low whisper.

She responded with an anxious voice, "Don't you think it's already too late? Maybe if I talked to the Hokage, she would understand Neji."

He shook his head slowly, as his long black hair created a black curtain around them as he leaned forward.

"I'll be back," he simply replied.

She tried to blink away her tears, shaking her head as her brown hair fell out of their twin buns at the top of her head. She was scared. Would he ever be back?

He tried his best to stop himself from wrapping his arms around her and holding her in his arms forever.

"I'm part of the ANBU now Tenten, I have to go,"

She whispered back with her eyes on the ground, "I know."

Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. One simple move, and yet it caused both of their hearts to beat faster. She buried her face into his chest and declared three words.

"I love you,"

He buried his face into her hair, remembering the scent of vanilla in her hair. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"I love you too," he responds.

That's when she knew, know matter what happened, he would come back. Even when she watched him run off into the rainy night in his ANBU mask, she still stood there waiting in the rain. She loved him, and he loved her.

She knew, all it would take would be their love, to get him home safe and back into her arms.

As the tears slowly fall from her face, they get mixed with the rain drops falling from the sky. She looks up, just as he looks up.

I'll be back.

"All it takes is love," she whispers one last time to herself.
