Tenten looked into her mirror that reflected her blushing, smiling face. It was her birthday today. she applied her make up and her new dress she spent from dawn to dusk looking for with her closest friend Hinata Hyuga. Tenten chose a back Yukata with red dragons following from her ankles to her slender waist. Hinata on the other hand chose a violet Yukata with blue roses spaced out across her body. Since it was her birthday, Sakura Haruno (another one of her friends) suggested they should go to a festival. Of course Sakura was going to go with Sasuke Uchiha. They had been going out for at least a year now, and of course Hinata was going to go with Naruto Uzumaki (they had been going out since the ninja war ended also about a year ago now).
Tenten sat there spaced out thinking about how tonight could end. A huge cheeky grin spread across her face from ear to ear. She thought about herself and Neji Hyuga and about if Naruto wasn't there to bring him back she would be lost in her own world searching for the way out of the pain it would of caused not being able to tell her loved one how she felt. Obviously Tenten wasn't smiling at that thought, something much more passionate had crossed her mind.
Soon after the brown haired Kunoichi heard a stern knock on her door. she rushed down the stairs to find her team mate (love of her life) Neji stood there at the door in his traditional Japanese cloth. she scanned his body shoulders to toe, then she slowly raised her head to look at his pale face. Tenten blushed as she looked gormless at him. Neji noticed she was wearing her new Yukata and turned away hoping that she didn't see his cheeks turn red. He stuck out his hand (still facing ahead) and muttered "Shall we".
Tenten snapped out of her fantasy, smiled and replied "We shall". She took his hand, Tenten could feel the heat from his hand flowing through her body. She never knew holding hands could be such a big deal Neji could feel it too but he was to stubborn to admit it. Often thoughts of him and Tenten crossed his mind, but the thing was they never crossed... they stayed.
Tenten as clumsy as she was, too busy focusing on her and Neji didn't notice the broken slab on the floor and tripped over it. and Neji as fast as he was, saw her dramatically fall and so he leaned in and wrapped his muscular arms around her petit body. For a moment it was like they had frozen in time. People walked past and smiled at the thought because every one in Konaha knew that they were (in Neji's way of things) destined to be together.
Tenten looked into his pearl eyes, as he looked into her forest like eyes. Neji was the first to notice what happened, just after he got a hold of himself his body automatically moved by its self causing his arms to back away form his favorite team mate. Tenten's eyes widened as she fell once again to the hard cold concrete. Neji flinched as her head loudly thumped onto the floor. After the little incident Neji quickly went to help her out but before he did she sat up and rubbed her head as she blushed in embarrassment. She laughed. Neji was relieved to see her smile.
"Ah, sorry I let go."
"Haha, no Neji its fine. I'm sorry for being so clumsy. any way I can't expect to have a birthday with out birthday beats. Can I?"
Neji's smile brightened as he helped her up. They carried on with their tracks to the festival.
Hope it wasn't too bad I will upload chapter 2 soon :)
