Tenten woke early in the morning. She opened her eyes slowly and realized that no one had stirred anything in the room, not that she had seen much of it before she fell asleep. She laughed inside her own mind before she pushed the covers off of her and realized she hadn't even changed out of her clothes, nor taken out her hair.
'Great, this will be real fun to take out,' she thought to herself. She decided to jump in the shower with her hair all messed up so the water would pull out the rubber bands. She let the warm water run down her skin before she undid her tangled hair and eventually got out of the shower only to throw on her clothes on and throw her hair back up.
"Oh hey!" Tenten said as her roommate slowly woke up and tried to throw off the covers. She looked around in the darkness and started wondering why Tenten had gotten ready in the dark and Roxanne was very confused as to why she would do such a thing.
"What time is it anyway?" Roxanne asked drowsily as she rubbed her eyes a minute before standing up grabbing some clothes and heading toward the shower.
"It's about six am why? You think you'll be late considering class doesn't start till what nine?" Tenten asked sarcastically as she picked up a book and began reading. She waited till about fifteen minutes later when Roxanne emerged from the bathroom all dressed with a towel over her head. She towel dried her hair and splashed most of the water on to Tenten.
"Jeeze thanks!" Tenten said as she threw a pillow at the blonde. Roxanne laughed it off before taking a hair band and threw her hair back into a high ponytail and smiled. She threw some clothes in her dirty clothes hamper and began throwing some money in her wallet then throwing that into a dance bag.
"Come on let's go bookworm time to go to breakfast we're meeting Kari and Chiharu downstairs," Roxanne said as she threw her bag over her shoulder and watched Tenten stand and grab her respective bag. The duo walked downstairs to the cafeteria and found their friend sitting at a table that seemed spread with food everywhere.
"Hey guys! Good morning!" Kari yelled and waved frantically. She spilled some orange juice and Roxanne just smiled cheerfully back and hurriedly pulled Tenten toward the table in hopes of saving the rest of the meal.
"The guys are meeting us at the studio later. You know how they are, they love to sleep in," Chiharu said quietly as she looked from the mess of spilled orange juice to the cause of the citrus disaster. Tenten just picked up some napkins and threw them effortlessly on the mess. Roxanne's eye twitched and then she calmed down and sat down next to Tenten. The girls ate the breakfast in a slow rush.
"Can we go to the classroom early? I feel really tight after not being able to dance yesterday," Tenten asked, starting to get jumpy and anxious at the thought of her new dance partner.
"Alright crazy lady just go and find out what he's like for yourself he's going to be the only one in there this early anyway. He's probably meditating as usual," Kari said as she looked over at Tenten only to look back at her plate quickly and scarf down some pancakes.
She quickly excused herself from the table, grabbed her bag and went dashing off. She almost tripped when she ran up the stairs until she reached the top floor. She was attempting to run and put her jazz shoes on at the same time. She was hopping along till she got them both and ran to their dance studio for the day. She tried to peek in through the cloudy glass that separated the room from the hall.
She opened the door and her mind was jumping around. She wasn't sure if he would be tall or muscular or a total nerd. She looked around everywhere and saw a lone figure that was blurred by the huge windows and the amount of sunlight. She walked over and tapped the figure on the shoulder.
"Hi, I know you don't know me I'm new he…" Tenten started but was interrupted when she saw his hand fly out halting her speech. He motioned for her to sit down and be quiet. She complied and tried to get a better look at him. He had his eyes locked tight and his mouth was peacefully still. He had the longest hair she had ever seen. She had to admit, he looked a tad, well girly, but his muscles were telling her quite otherwise.
"Meditating before you partner dance is key, and it will only work if you stop staring, close your eyes, and clear your mind. Tenten immediately shut her eyes and turned her head forward. She opened her eye a crack and turned ever so slightly.
She looked over him again and noticed his skin was paler than even her own. She noticed small markings on his forehead and took note to ask him about those later. She saw his muscles and noticed his breathing was not coming easy. He look annoyed and she began to close her eyes tightly.
"You are disconnected with the world, you better reconnect fast, I don't care what you think you are. You aren't a free spirit, you are bound to the Earth whether you feel it or not," he said softly with a sickeningly sharp infliction. She closed her eyes tighter and sighed.
"Tenten! There you are! We've been searching everywhere for you!" Tenten jumped when she heard Kari screaming and running at her. Her eyes snapped open and she looked to her side to find a very annoyed Neji Hyuuga. She gasped immediately when Roxanne's hands picked her up by her shoulder.
"So, guys," Roxanne said looking from the Hyuuga to Tenten, "what's going on here? Neji you're not forcing the poor girl to meditate are you?" Roxanne looked like she was about to punch the poor boy in the face if he were to answer positively.
"Of course I have been you bumbling idiot. You think for a minute my routine will change because another girl has been pushed over the limit by intensive dancing?" Neji said, not even moving. Tenten's eyes bulged out of her head. She rather expected him to say nothing, not something so mean and hurtful.
"Why you…" Roxanne was about to go on the attack but before she had a chance to attack, a hand and reached out, and picked Neji up by the collar. Tenten looked at the death grip Shino had on Neji and was hardly even phased. She had half expected something like that to happen.
"Hyuuga, you can mess with whom so ever you choose, but mess with Roxanne and you will know how it feels to be 'pushed over the limit,'" Shino threatened. He lowered the Hyuuga, who had still not opened his eyes and let him drop the ground. He landed in the same position he had been in.
"Well, now that the class is here, shall we stretch?" Tenten asked Neji as she held out her hand to offer him help up. He opened his eyes and stood on his own, completely ignoring her acknowledgement of sympathy.
"Hn," was the only response she had received as she rolled her eyes before looking into his. They were pale, not just like an icy blue coolness, but there was literally no pupils to them in any sense. She gasped as she looked at him further, wondering if in fact the boy was completely blind.
"Quite staring Tenny, he's not blind, just a jerk in a highend dance class," Roxanne said as she and Shino began a small exercise of twists and turns. Tenten looked back over at her new dance partner, he was calming his breathing and making himself seem more nonexistent.
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't mean for him to hurt you or anything, she was trying to come to my rescue, and he's overprotective I guess? I'm not real sure, I'm new. Oh I'm Tenten by the way," Tenten said as she held out her hand. She smiled warmly until he felt him push her away and walk by, heading toward a bag with his name stitched in.
"Alright class I want you all to pair up and begin with the first number. Neji, you and Tenten may have a catch up week and if you feel ready before then, join in," Shizune said as she and Kabuto entered the room. Neji nodded in agreement while turning back to his new slave, ahem dance partner.
"Come on we'll have to work twice as hard to pick up on the dance steps that are required," Neji said with half-lidded eyes. He looked so bored with her presence, he might have actually fallen asleep had she not grabbed him by the arm and shaken him.
"Let's go busy body, I know the steps, let's just get it going ok?" Tenten said as she smiled again and assumed the position, waiting for him to signal the start, he was to lead after all. Tenten sighed slightly as they began dancing. She hadn't missed an entire step through out the entire dance and she found herself growing closer and closer to Neji before she stopped herself from resting her head on his shoulder.
OH NO WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO POOR TENTEN AND HER JERK OF A DANCE PARTNER?!?!
Neji: HEY!!! I RESENT THAT!!!
Me: Yeah I'm sure you do sweet heart, but I still love ya!
