A/N: I don't own Naruto!

Chapter 1

A chocolate haired girl with two buns in her hair sighed, staring out the window of her room.

It was a rainy day again and Tenten had nothing to do but stay home and do nothing.

It has been about three years since Tenten and her teammates, Neji and Lee passed the Chuunin exams.

Therefore, it has been a while since Tenten saw them because after the exam they had gone separate ways. Neji looking for power while Lee was finding his way to become a great taijutsu ninja.

It was ten o'clock AM when Tenten finally got up from her bed and went to the bathroom. She looked at herself in her full-length mirror. Tenten made funny faces in the mirror just to pass the time and then she turned on the faucet. "This is just gonna be another ordinary day..." she said, playing with the water. She repeated the same sentence several times.

Neji locked his front door. Although it was raining hard, he never missed training. He wanted to be the strongest ninja so that he would bring glory to the Hyuuga clan.

He walked down the street until he got to the forest. When he got to the forest where he and his teammates trained, he put down his water jug and towel and started to throw kunais at several trees.

Suddenly the wind blew, cherry blossoms flew, and one petal fell down on the ground in front of him. He picked it up and suddenly a face entered his mind.

"Tenten..."

Tenten got out of her bathroom wearing baggy black capris, a pink sleeveless Asian-styled shirt, and tied her hair into two neat buns.

She went downstairs, got her navy blue sweater in the hallway closet, and put it on. She opened the front door, stepped outside, locked the door from behind, opened her umbrella, and ran down the porch and into the street.

Her parents weren't there because they were on vacation, so no one was home except her. These circumstances made it so that she knew how to cook, clean, and do pretty much anything by herself.

She had also grown up into a full-grown woman. She developed curves and got sexier. Every guy that saw her on the streets would ask her out but she would decline and say, "Gomenasai." Her hair had gotten longer and she had gotten over her childhood crush, Neji…

Tenten stared straight ahead with no emotion on her face when she suddenly bumped into someone. Tenten fell down on her behind, and her umbrella went flying onto the sidewalk.

Tenten was shocked for a while as raindrops fell on her head and rolled down to her face.

"Miss, are you okay?" the male voice asked.

Tenten looked up and saw a pair of eyes looking at her. He looks very familiar, Tenten thought. Then suddenly it hit her. It was Rock Lee!

"Tenten..." Neji said looking at the cherry blossom petal in his palm. Cherry blossoms were Tenten's favorite flower, and Neji often thought of her as a girl who was as delicate as a cherry blossom, even though she was an excellent at weaponry.

Neji shook his head. Why am I thinking about her? Neji thought. The corners of his lips frowned slightly. He sat on the ground, wiping the sweat from his face with the small towel. He looked at the cherry blossom petal again.

It had been a long time since Neji last saw Tenten, and he constantly wondered if she still looked the same these days. He stood up, picked up his towel and water jug, and started heading home.

"Tenten!"

"Lee!"

They both said this in unison.

Lee extended his hand and helped Tenten get back on her feet, "Are you alright?"

When Tenten was standing upright again, she said, "I'm alright."

"Gomenasai Tenten-chan! I should have been watching the path I was taking!" Lee said, retrieving Tenten's umbrella from the ground. "I was running while reading, so I was not focusing on the consequences of my foolish actions."

Tenten shook her head, "No it's not your fault. I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I didn't even notice what was going on..."

"No, it is not your fault, it is really mine." Lee smiled while scratching the back of his head.

Tenten just smiled back.

Lee blushed, "So...um...are you doing anything... tonight?"

Tenten looked at Lee with a questioning look.

Lee inhaled, his heart rate rapidly getting faster, "Would you go out with me?" Lee asked almost too quickly for Tenten to understand, due to his embarassment.

Tenten stared at Lee for a minute, speechless.

Lee sighed. "If you do not wish to go out with me, it is rea…"

Before he could finish, Tenten interrupted him, "No, it's okay. I'll go out with you," Tenten said nodding.

Lee's face lit up. "Really?" he asked.

Tenten nodded.

Lee's eyes were now glistening with tears. Oh! Who's good? I'm good! Lee thought as he turned his attention back to Tenten, "So can I pick you up later at 7:00 PM?"

"Sure."

The rain was still beating down on them.

"Okay. I will meet you at exactly 7:00 PM! Ja!" Lee exclaimed. Lee smiled for a split second but was too embarassed. He ran past Tenten and continued to read his book.

Tenten waved back at Lee, even though he couldn't see her, and she started heading towards the mall.
