Choose A Weapon, Pierce My Heart
(Their very existence was wrapped up in those all-seeing white eyes, and yet it took them so long to see what was always right in front of them, a weapon mistress. One hundred themes on Neji and Tenten.)
02: Sorrow
"Why? I loved him so much! We did he have to leave?!" Tenten sobbed. Hinata, and Sakura as much as they tried to cheer the brunette up, it was no use.
He was gone, and was never coming back.
"Tenten, stop crying, where do you want do bury Daisuke? In the pet cemetery? Or maybe in you backyard so he can never leave. Does that sound better?" The timid Hyuuga heiress said.
"-Sniff—Yeah, but can we make him an official funeral? I mean, he deserves it, right Sakura?" Tenten asked.
"Um, sure, let me and Hinata go and get Daisuke some flowers okay? We'll be back in a hour. Ja ne!" Sakura called out as she and Hinata left to Yamanaka Flower.
"Tenten?" A male cold voice resounded.
Tenten looked up. Damn, it's Neji. I can't let him know I was crying over Daisuke, he'd think I'm weak.
"Were you crying?" He asked his usually cold voice a tad softer than before.
"N-n-n-no! I-I was…um…taking a shower and uh… got shampoo in my eyes! Yeah that's it! Yep!" The weapon mistress responded in an unusually giddy voice.
"You're lying." Neji said, eyes narrowing.
"No! What makes you think that?" She said again, in a fake cheeriness.
"Daisuke died, didn't he? That's why you missed training with me." Neji said, with his white eyes looking directly at her.
"No, that's not it." The female brunette replied. She started to sniffle, and her eyes were burning up. Warm tears fell from her face, as Neji rushed to comfort her.
"Shhh… don't worry, it's going to be alright." He consoled, while awkwardly patting her back.
"B-but I loved him so much!!!" Tenten sobbed, while Neji cradled her in his arms.
"Don't worry, I'll get you a new hampster…okay?"
"T-thank you N-neji… zzz…"
Neji looked down and saw Tenten snuggling up to him and lightly snoring.
"Huh, so you got her to stop crying huh?" Said a female voice from the door.
Neji looked up and saw Sakura with her hands on her hips smiling, and Hinata doubled up in silent laughter.
"Shhh… help me get her into a bed or something." Neji whispered.
Hinata, now regaining her composure, said, "No. Good luck Neji-nii-san."
Neji now looked at the cherry blossom, almost desprate. She shooke her head.
"No can do, I think Tenten's feelings would be hurt if you just left her there. So bye, we'll drop by in about three hours. Bye!" She said with a giggle.
Damn, damn, damn, DAMN! Stupid Sakura and Hinata and their new-found confidence! Neji cursed inwardly.
It was going to be a loooonng three-hour wait.
Okari.
(Author's Notes: This was waaayy more fluffy, so I hope it wasn't too fluffy. BTW, kudos to kunoichimisstress and NejixTenten forever for reviewing! This is for them!)
