Hi okay this is my first time uploading something here, I'm still quite confused on how this works though :)
Part 1: Prologue
"Do not pursue me, I am not meant for you." She turns away from his lilac eyes, so similar to that of her dearest blue haired friend.
"Am I not worthy of you?" He pleads for an answer
"You are a child." Her eyes flashing as she snaps at him
"I am old enough, do you not see." He answers her reluctance with defiance.
"Ours is an old race. I am far beyond you in ages. It would do you better to find a mate who shares your years."
"If we were human I would have already passed into manhood decades ago! Why must you deny us this?"
"But we are not human boy!" Her head snaps back to him, "We are far different from them and I will judge you according to what we are." He is frustrating in his pursuit for her. This will not end well for them both, and she would rather avoid what happens next. She stalks angrily in the meadow going back towards the courtyard, the hum of celebration for the New Year would be a welcome recluse from him.
"But you do feel for me, and I see it." His anger is dripping from his voice as he challenges her to deny him. "I know you; I have watched you since boyhood. And do not tell me you only think of me as your friends little brother because I can see how you avoid me now."
His accusation stops her in her tracks and he nearly runs over her.
"My affections for you are deep."
"Your affections are fickle, just as your mind is fickle because you are young and have not lived through ages as I have." Her answer as cold and swift as the weapons she smiths.
A silent pause stretches as she watches two birds dancing in the sky.
"Your feelings will change in time. You only have to wait. You say you love me but that is because you have known me almost all your life."
"What I feel is true. I will not give up on you. You cannot even say that you do not love me."
"When I tell you so, will you stop this madness? You know the tale of Kitsuna. Of course you do, I've read this to you many times before. Of how she fell in love with a young fae, how he broke her heart when he left her for another. Ah but did you know that in her grief she killed herself but not before committing murder of her past love and his." Her chest heaving as she panics, he has driven her into a corner again. "These things do not end well."
"Tell me then, that you hate me."
"I hate you." She looks at him with her chin high up in the air
"Tell me you do not love me."
"You wound me. Do not ask that of me." She turns away, taking a few steps away from him.
"Are you afraid I would leave you then? Is that why you would not have me? I swear I won't. I have seen many in my life, I have felt for others as well but not as I feel for you. You are a constant in my life."
"And you are a constant thorn in mine." She grumbles to herself. Hugging her arms to herself, unnerved how he's as talented as his elder sister is at persuasion.
"Do you love me?" He asks, prodding gently.
"More than you know." She sighs
"But you won't have me?" The anguish in his voice almost sways her.
"Forgive me, I cannot." Her heart aches at the thought of breaking his. She does not justify herself to him, he does not need to know about that incident before. She marches inside one of the high arches, keen on finding a familiar face and intent on escaping him.
Aohh god… I've been reading too much Throne of Glass series and Inheritance Cycle.. -.- I got inspired by the fae's and elves there.. oh shit. Also a dash of Dragon Age
lets just say Tenten is 400 and neji is 70? maybe.. Just that the age gap is wayyyy big here. they will get together in the end though :).
So i wanted Tenten to be the one doing the rejecting you know :D. Neji is far younger than her here so he's temperament is kinda i dunno how to explain it. Hinata will save these poor souls later on haha.
Neji's not done though ^_~, what happened to tenten before?
thanks for reading :D, please leave a review hehe
