"Talks"

They finished their meal quietly and proceeded to their respective rooms except for one man that went stalking to a certain girl in a beautiful kimono. He wants to get near to her and asked her what really happened. It was getting on his nerves.

'Somehow I need to ask her about that.' He thought deeply while watching the girl walk towards the woods inside the mansion. (Crap! Are there a build in or natural forest inside the Hyuuga mansion? Again, Please bear with my innocence.)

The girl on the other side felt that someone was following her. So she stopped near the pond-like water bed there.

She waited there. She waited if her spy was going to approach her or not. But in her dismay he just stayed behind the woods waiting for her to make the move.

She then finally moved.

"I know you're there. It's no use to hide."

This comment did not surprise the Hyuuga prodigy. He knew his teammate for a long time so it was not a surprise if his teammate knew he was there.

He moved beside the tree. Appearing in the shadows, and walk towards the beautiful girl dressed in a kimono.

He sat down besides her filling the cold breeze of the wonderful starry night. There was a long silence. But he finally broke it up.

"So, what happened?"

"Huh? What happened to what?" she replied back with a confused face while staring at him.

"You know what I'm talking about Tenten." He retorted with a slight angered face marked in his porcelain skin.

She widens her eyes in shocked.

'He really knows me.' She thought while looking away in his deep gaze.

"Yes, Tenten I really know you. Very well." He said as if answering her question inside her mind.

'OMG! He read our thoughts!'

'No. Baka. He really knows me well so that's why you thought he read my mind.'

'Chill He's scary you know.'

'He's not scary.'

'Yes he is. He reads minds.'

'No he isn't. Stop arguing with me.'

While talking to her inner Neji was curious what happened to his teammate. She was making different faces. This faces made Neji chuckle a little. But it was too late to hold the chuckle back because Tenten saw him when she was back in her normal state.

"Hey Neji, are you laughing?" she asked while looking directly at his face.

"Ahhm. No I'm not." Neji faked cough. He tried to pretend he was serious. He was caught in the red.

"Anyway Tenten, we're out of the topic. What happened to you?"

"Nothing happened." She simply replied but it sounded a bit nervous.

She really felt nervous as if Neji will eat her up if she told a lie about what happened to her.

"You're lying Tenten."

Her heart jumped when his cold words echoed in her ears. She has to tell the truth.

"Okay. Okay. I give up."

"Hn." It was onlt a simple reply from the stoic Hyuuga.

"Sasuke and I broke up."

Neji was not amazed with the news. He knew all along that Sasuke really loves Sakura not Tenten. He only asked Tenten to date him because he was jealous of Sakura and Lee's closeness. She then continued.

"So that's why I was drunk."

That news shocked Neji for sure. He knew his teammate for a long time and he knew that she was weak with alcohol. But his thoughts were cut when she continued.

"That's also the reason why I want to drown myself in the bay." She continued with a slight teardrop in her cheek and in her eyes.

Neji noticed this and he wanted to wipe away her tears. Her tears of sadness. But as the 'ice man' everyone knew about him. He didn't make a move and just looked up in the sky.

Tenten continued her story that she already knew that Sasuke really don't love him. That Sasuke's true love was Sakura. She accepted this fact. And she was not angry with Sakura and Sasuke. It was not their fault after all.

More tears run down through her face. And she let out little sobs. These sobs did not escape Neji's ears. He then….
