Neji took the liberty to take Tenten around the campus and forgot all about his training. He was so interested in Tenten, as she gave him the feeling of belongingness, and there was something in her that made him feel like he'd known her all his life.

"Tenten?"

"Hnn?"

"Where do you live?"

Tenten stopped and bit her lip. Neji thought it was cute. After sometime, Tenten spoke up;

"At Lotus Street. The one with the white roof"

"Ah I see"

As Neji walked, he wondered why Tenten studied at a public high school, as Lotus Street was the lane where the well-off people lived. He also wondered why Tenten clutch his violin as if her life depended on it.


"Neji! Coach wanted to see you!" A freshman called, panting, appearing before Neji.

"Oh, Damn! I forgot" Neji said, slapping his forehead. In an instant, he was holding Tenten by the wrist and jogging towards the swimming pool. By the time he got there, the Coach was already fuming mad, and the rest of the team was up in the showers.

"Hyuuga Neji, if you are determined to win this Saturday's game, you will abide by my schedule" The coach said austerely. Neji's head was bowed low in respect.

"Yes sir."

The coach sighed, "Twenty laps, then you go."

"Yes sir"

"I won't be around now. I trust that you would do it honestly."

"Yes sir"

The coach left and Neji helped Tenten sit by the bleachers. He whispered to her to wait. Then, a group of girls entered the building to watch. Neji tried not to roll his eyes at them for the sake of Tenten…even if she could not see him.

Actually, for the first time, he did not mind the giggle squad. All thanks to that blind girl sitting on the bleacher.
