I knew I would succeed, even if I didn't want

I was a genius, after all, and would not be put to shame

"Fine, Tenten." I told her. "I'll take on your little bet."

"And in the end, you'll wish you hadn't challenged me to this game."


The first day was madness, after she told everyone

All my comrades seemed to want was to rub it in my face

Of course, Naruto was the worst, when it came to them all

But telling him off, at the time, was not my place


Lady Hinata was kind, just as any would expect

And Tenten was enjoying it all too much

I managed to hold back from speaking all my thoughts

Saying, "You're all ... something else." Without making a fuss.


"Oh I know!" Tenten said, as we talked in private.

"How's about we go on a date?" To which I promptly declined.

She then reminded me my response was of the "Old Neji"

And she asked me what I'd say to her offer being "Kind".


"All right, fine, Tenten. Let's do just that."

I told her as I slightly bit down on my tongue

"But this had better be a secret from all of our friends."

"I refuse to tolerate mocking from a single one."
