Summary: "Actions speak louder than words, and all they needed was a little push to upgrade their relationship."
His white eyes come out of their hiding places from behind his pale eyelids as he activates his bloodline. His once smooth face has at least six veins popping out of it. His usually lavender tinted white irises had lines caging a circular middle portion of them. He is ready for anything coming at him. He takes his stance, one arm of the other, to signal to the brunette across the field from him.
Her thumb makes contact with a sharp canine, slicing her flesh, and letting her beating heart's esscence drip out of the two pieces of skin. Taking the large scroll strapped to her back, she lets her blood pool over the desired symbol. Smoke pours out, and when it fades she throws dozens of steel weapons where the hits are not fatal. She has one hundred percent accuracy, she never misses her mark. He knows this. He starts to spin rapidly, chakra concentrated into his palms, creating a blue sphere like shield. The weapons are reflected off his rotation, flying everywhere. Steel hits wood. Steel hits dirt. As she jumps back, steel hits flesh. The blide slices the white sleeve of her red and white chinese styled top. The vein's contents flood out, and she clutches the cut to stop the bleeding. She lands, and examines the wound. It is not serious, but it will be if she does not tend to it. His eyes question her brown ones, and she shakes her head in reply. They go at eachother like lightning, and a dance of bloodshed and steel is born. They finally stop when her wound stings. She cries out in pain, landing on her knees. Her grip on the cut makes her knuckles turn white, and her eyes are shut hard from the feeling of her blood gushing out.
He walks over to her and helps her up. His hand grabs her wrist and pulls it over his neck, while his other arm snakes around her waist. They find a nice shady spot under the trees, and he tends to her wound. There is no awkwardness, it is simply comrade helping comrade, the way of the shinobi. They stop, quenching their thirst in a comfortable silence, and he studies her. Her chestnut brown hair is falling out of the twin buns. Her small tanned digits poke out of her black fingerless gloves. Her skin is clear and rich, which is a surprise to him, as she trains with weapons all day. Her large brown eyes open, and her gaze drifts over to him. She notices how intently he is staring at her, and her eyes shift away, a light pink dusting over her tan cheeks.
"Tenten." Her head snaps back in his direction as her name rolls off his tongue. Her red cheeks are long gone.
"Yes, Neji?" The words escape her lips. The blush returns as she notices the small distance between their faces. There is want in his eyes, and what Neji Hyuuga wants, Neji Hyuuga gets. He has never seen her in this way before, yet in her own, tomboyish style, she is beautiful in his eyes.
As the distance between their lips closes into nothing, their friendship is destroyed, but is replaced with a relationship that is much stronger.
