Neji H. & TenTen

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto (Shippuden) or any of Kishimoto's ideas I'm okay with him unless he marries Sasuke with Sakura and I'm going to be so pissed off if Neji and TenTen don't end up together…but…I do own my story…right? : Nervous in a corner:

Just A Moment:

-How much time do you expect me to stay here? The brown-eyed kunoichi asked rudely to the young hyuuga that stood in front of her.

He wanted to tell her…he just couldn't find the right words. For the first time in Neji's life he felt powerless against this women; burnable, how could have TenTen become his only weakness. All he ever wanted was to gain respect from those who despised him (the main branch), but deep down inside he knew he didn't need respect from the branch house, his uncle, his family, he didn't need it from the injustice of the hyuuga clan he needed respect from himself from his own heart he needed respect from Neji Hyuuga.

TenTen couldn't help it she just had to give away a frown, maybe he never noticed but…she was always there for him even though she thought it was pointless helping a person without helping herself first …because …she felt she had to do it as a friend, allie and as a human being. She had dreams, dreams she abandoned long ago for the sake of love…something he never noticed.

-How can your eyes see so little? TenTen said looking Neji's direction letting a single tear stream down her cheek as the moon made the tear glitter some more. TenTen turned around, leaving finally defeated finally giving up she was tired of trying to make him understand how much she cared for him.

-What are they not seeing? He said stoically looking down at the ground to afraid to see this women cry.

-I use to think like you…but…you're eyes never saw anything …they see what you want them to see

I didn't understand anything…why…why was everything slipping away? Maybe I wasn't seeing anything at all and she was right .I never saw anything .I never appreciated her friendship how much she cared for me and I let it slip away.

It wasn't long enough that the sun started to appear and the moon started to fade away. I've been a coward .How could this be so difficult. I know life isn't always color pink and not everything is easy but if there was something that gave me happiness was her and losing TenTen was losing my whole purpose even though I realized quite a bit late.

-I won't wait here any longer and see how you radicalize yourself!

It was to late…but…I still needed this I wasn't a kid anymore I was a man who already took care of himself and my purpose was TenTen.

She moved on leaving Neji behind, moving towards her aparment, she needed to leave. The pain was too much to bare. TenTen walked but didn't get that far falling to the ground crying, until she saw a hand offering her help to get up she took it cautiously. It was an uncomfortable encounter. She wanted to leave and she fought for dominance but TenTen's struggle was useless against Neji's determination. She found her self face to face with much as she REALLY wanted to punch him … she gave in.

He looked certain and determined to actually say something

-"I love you"…

Words weren't necessary it never had been between them.

Once …

I told TenTen "Give everything some time, sometimes it works for the better", and I can see it now. I always thought that destiny had just one path for you …and you had too deal with it if you didn't like it …but TenTen showed me something and that is that you can change your own ways and you can change your dreams so they can make of your life something better.

"Love can melt even the most cold hearted heart"

The End…

Honestly SayuJany….
