Upside Down
Chapter One: The Incident
"We need to talk." Sakura said angrily stopping a walking-emotionlessly Neji.
Neji raised a brow at them and asked as cold as ever, "Talk? For what?"
Ino gritted her teeth, "What! For what?! I think you already know that; THAT PLAN OF YOURS!"
Neji smirked, "Oh? You mean the plan I set up? That's nothing to talk about."
Sakura hissed, "We heard everything, damn it! We heard it!"
"Tch…from that dumb stupid cousin?" Neji asked coldly yet he was smirking.
"Oh…we didn't know that is how you call your cousin. Priceless, huh? Yes. We heard it all from her." Sakura said.
"Funny, isn't it?" said Ino sarcastically.
"I think you know why I'm doing this." Neji said sighing, "Your pity is not necessary."
"Who'd want to give pity! But we still won't let you to do it!" Ino hissed.
"Especially if YOU are going to DO that dumbest plan, I have never ever heard of, to OUR DEAREST BEST FRIEND!" Sakura screamed.
Neji smirked wider, "You know…I have to do it."
"We DO understand you and your fucking feelings! But why her of all people?! Why can't it be others!" Sakura and Ino asked.
"Because she is the only one I can deal with, right?" Neji asked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"We STILL aren't going to LET you!" Ino shouted.
"We'll see about that…." Neji said snorting lightly.
"I don't see why you are called GENIUS! PRODIGY! SMART! My gosh! You're not even one bit of them!" Sakura screamed.
"Look here Neji-san!" Ino hissed his name, "She would do anything for you even if it costs her life! She would EVEN want to die than being hurt by YOU!"
Neji arched a brow, "That is why she is the best choice, isn't she?"
Sakura and Ino fumed even more.
"WE'RE TELLING YOU! YOU'LL REGRET THIS DAY! YOU.ARE.REALLY.HOPELESS!" Sakura and Ino screamed together.
Neji just grunted annoyingly, "Hn…."
Then he walked away, leaving Sakura and Ino behind like they were pieces of cockroaches.
2 Weeks Later…
"YOU SAID WHAT!" screamed Ino and Sakura.
"Eh…I said yes…. Why?" asked Tenten.
"You're insane!" Sakura said.
Tenten raised a brow.
"He'll just hurt you! Do you understand!" said Ino.
"What?" asked Tenten, "How can you say that?"
"Tenten-chan! I know you are older than us! But please! Listen! He is a worthless player! That means, he is only PLAYING with you!" Sakura and Ino said in unison.
"Look, quit the lies! I love him and he loves me and that is all that matters! I'm sorry guys but I don't believe you." Tenten said.
"Why? Please, Tenten-chan…listen to us. Believe us; we know what he's up to." Sakura said softly.
"Yes…Tenten-chan. We know what's best…. I-In this case, we don't want—" Ino began gently.
"No! Nothing will happen! Those are lies! Just because you don't want me to go out with him, doesn't mean he's up to something! I love him and nothing will ever stop the fact that I said yes to him!" Tenten hissed angrily as she walked away.
A few weeks passed and Neji and Tenten dated almost everyday and miraculously, they always have enjoyed and had fun with each others' company. Of course, they'll do what an official couple would do; hold hands, hug, and kiss. Tenten was really glad that she gets to go out with the one she love. She had forgotten what Sakura and Ino; her best friends told her…not until it all happened one day…
"Tenten-chan? Why don't we hang out for today? Since it's really a good day…." Sakura said softly smiling almost forcefully.
"Huh?" asked Tenten smiling.
"Why don't we hang out!" Ino asked pretending to be not worried.
Tenten chuckled, "Alright! Why don't we go then?"
Sakura and Ino smiled, but unknown to Tenten, it was a forced smile, for she also didn't know that they were concerned about her situation and they want her to be out of it and cheer her up without going out with the bastard.
----------
The three best friends strolled along every place they can go to and relax until they reached the mall…
Sakura and Tenten were talking with each other cheerily and Ino would join them but then, she noticed something unexpected. Her eyes widened shockingly as she saw the two figures familiarly.
Ino gulped, 'No way! No! This isn't happening! He must've known! He must've known we are going here! But how! No please! This isn't happening! Kami-sama!' she thought.
She looked over at Sakura and Tenten and noticed that Tenten was fixing her shoe-lace. While she saw Tenten do that, she nudged Sakura nervously and indicated where Neji and the other were. Sakura held in a gasp as she chokes a bit. She clenched her fists because even though the figures were really far away from them, they can see them clearly with their sharp eyes.
Tenten finally stood up and smiled, "Thanks for waiting! C'mon, let's go."
She noticed that neither her friends were listening to her so she decided to take a look on what they are focused on.
"Okay…what're you guys looking a—" Tenten began but as she saw what her friends were looking, she froze instantly and felt her body numb, for what she saw was hell, shit, crap, damn. It was enough for her to be killed and die to go to hell.
………..What she saw was…….

Tenten ran and ran. Even though she doesn't know where she was going, she just wanted to get away from everything, everyone. She can feel herself shattered into pieces, but especially her heart. It really hurt like hell; even more painful than dying or killing yourself as a suicide. She can't take it anymore. It was too much!
She wanted to be alone as soon as possible. She wanted to find a suitable place for her to stay ALONE with no one except her. She just wanted to get away from everything! Everyone! They were right all the way. Why didn't she just listen to them?
