Hey everyone! This story is a twoshot songfic NejiTen. Again, it have a karaoke bar. I'm obsess with karaoke bars (maybe because I'm singing...) I got this idea while I was listening to the song 'Teardrops on my Guitar' on repeat. It's kind of sad but... anyway, you'll see... Enjoy this story!

Teardrops on my Guitar
Tenten was beneath a tree, waiting for her training partner. It was unusual for Neji to be late. When Neji finally arrived, Tenten couldn't help but to ask him where he was.
"Where were you?"
"Hn."
"Tell me! Please!"
"Hn."
"And I thought that we're friends!"
"Tenten."
"What? I want to know! Is it a secret?"
"…"
"I know! You have a secret girlfriend!" Tenten started to laugh but stop when she saw Neji's face. He was surprised and was trying to hide his blush.
"It's true? Neji?" she said, almost prying to be a joke.
"Yes… Her name is Asami. She is the daughter of my uncle's friend. I met her while she was accompany with her father… And I think I feel in love…"
Tenten was about to cry. Neji had found someone. The guy she loved since she was 12 had a girlfriend. Tenten started to smile a fake smile.
"It's great! The cold Hyuuga prodigy found a girl! I'm so happy for you!" she said the most cheerful she could. "So who know it?"
"Only Hiashi-sama, Hinata-sama and Hanabi."
"I'm sure they're glad!"
"Well, with Hiashi-sama, I don't know, but it seems that Hinata-sama and Hanabi are a little bit upset… I don't understand why…"
"I'm sure they're on shock right now!"
"Or maybe they're sad because they knew about my crush on him… I've been really close to those two…" thought Tenten.
"Now that I think about it" said Tenten "It's the first time you're telling me what you're feeling."
"I feel like I can trust you." That made Tenten smiled a sad smile. "Now, we should be training."

Tenten arrived at her little apartment and went to her room directly. She didn't even take the time to put her pyjama and went in her bed. She started to cry softly on her pillow. She cried and cried till tiredness got her.
Three weeks later
Neji and Asami were walking in the streets of Konoha. It was now official that they were a couple. Asami was tall, had blond hair that was going to her shoulders and had blue eyes. She was wearing a black skirt and had a pink shirt. Neji was wearing his usual clothes.
"Let's go in this karaoke bar, Neji! It seems great!" said Asami.
"Hn." answered Neji, but with a tint of amusement in his voice.
They entered the bar and took a table in the back. It had a lot of people that night.
"Ladies and gentleman." started the announcer. "Please welcome on stage our favourite signer. In the shinobi's world, she's known like the weapons mistress, but here she is known as the signing angel, clap your hands for Tenten!"
Neji's eyes winded when he heard his friend's name.
"Isn't that your team-mate?" asked Asami.
"Yes…"
"You didn't tell me that she was singing!"
"I didn't know."
Tenten was on stage, a acoustic guitar in her hands. She wasn't in a usual but was wearing a baby blue shirt with on it a star and jeans.
"Hi everyone! It's been some time that I didn't come here. Those days, I wasn't in the mood to sing in front of a public. In those sad days, I wrote this song for someone. It really shows the feeling I was in. I hope you'll like it. The name of the song is 'Teardrop on my guitar'."
She started a melody on her guitar and started to sing.
He looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
He talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..
He looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.
Everyone started to clap their hands at the end of the song. Tenten was smiling softly. She got off the stage.
"We have to go see her!" exclaim Asami.
Neji was thinking. "I didn't saw her in a sad mood. She was always cheerful! Who is the guy she's singing about?" He didn't remark that his girlfriend was bringing him in the backstage.
"Tenten! Is that you?" screamed Asami.
Tenten turned back to see her team-mate and his girlfriend. She froze, but then smiled.
"Hey Neji! And you must be Asami."
"Yes! I'm glad to meet you! Neji told me a lot about you!"
"Really?"
"Yes! By the way you sing really well."
"Thank you."
"I didn't know you were singing." said Neji.
"It have a lot of things you don't know about me, Neji." answered Tenten almost with a sad tone.
"Are you a usual in this bar?" asked Asami.
"Yes. The owner know me since I'm little, so I used to sing here sometimes and then, it began to be regular. Like I wrote songs, I always do new things here…"
"It's great! Maybe you can find that it's not my business but who's the guy you're singing for?" asked Asami.
Tenten smiled sadly and said: "It's better if no one knows…"
"Why?" asked Neji, curious.
"Because I prefer to see this guy happy with an other girl and be a little bit sad then be selfish."
"Wow… It's so sweet… This guy is missing someone wonderful!' said Asami.
"Maybe, maybe not! The girl he's with now is pretty cool too!" respond Tenten smiling.
-----
Neji arrived at his room in the Hyuuga compound. He was still thinking about the meeting with Tenten.
"I wonder who could be this guy. Maybe it's Lee! No, he's been in love with Yumi since months from now. Who had been in couple in those days?"
Neji thought, and thought but couldn't find no one. Then it hit him.
"It could be… No, it can't… But It fits, the time, the song… Is it really me?"
