Chapter 4
The group stood still looking at the fuming blonde hair woman, with looks of terror on they faces, all for Naruto who still had the dog on his face, blood starting to flow down his face were Akamaru's claws were piercing his flesh.
Tsunade walked up to the struggling teen and took a firm hold on the dog and pulled the him off in one pull and dumped the him into Kiba's arms. Kiba just looked shocked at the woman and then turned his glaze to Naruto whose face was bright red and covered with deep cuts.
"OW OW OW!" Naruto shouted after the dog was took off.
"Naruto!" The woman shouted at him, "keep it down, and report to the nurse's office you are lucky she is still here." Naruto nodded and and for the second time that day made his way to see the nurse.
~x~
"What is all that noise coming from outside?" Ino asked her friends as they waited for the group to come back. They had finished preparing about 30 minutes ago and had got change and now were bored waiting for what seem like ages. Tenten was getting nervous at the thought of having to see Neji again after the letter.
"I don't know Ino, why don't we go look?" Sakura asked her bright blonde friend.
"Yeah, cool idea. Come on you two." Ino said to Tenten and Hinata. The two girls stared at each other and then back at Ino, sighed and followed the blonde and pink haired girls to the big heavy doors of the Academy.
They open the doors and stood out side, what meet they eyes shuck them to the very bone, but it had a bigger impact on Tenten when her eyes finally rested on Neji who was staring at her with a shocked look on his face as well.
Tenten P.O.V
Oh shit, he is here then. But why does he look shocked at seeing me? Does he hate me that much? Am I that ugly or do I look stupid in this dress that Ino gave me as a present last year for Christmas?
I looked at him a little longer then turned to Sakura who was looking at the faces of the guys, and for the first time at Shino's eyes, for some reason he was not wearing his glasses.
"Hey Sakura, what's wrong?" I ask her as when I realized tears were forming in her eyes.
"Oh sorry I didn't realize I am crying, weird eh?" She said and dried her eyes and gave a small laugh. I smile at her and then turned to Ino who for some reason was jumping up and down squealing with delight, when I followed her sight I saw who she was staring at and was shocked to see Shikamaru staring straight back at her with a lazy smile on his face.
All of a sudden my attention was brought back to Mistress Tsunade,"right you lot, go home and get changed into your best clothes then come straight back here, your time limit is 10 minutes anyone not here in that time will have to clean the bathrooms for a month with a toothbrush." She yelled at the group, then to Kakashi sensei, who looked like he was trying to hide behind Kiba, with no such luck even though Kiba is tall, Kakashi is slighter taller and sticks out with his glowing silver hair, "Kakashi I want to see you in my office in 5 minutes do not be late!" He nodded and walked past us and walked inside.
She then turned to us after noticing our shadows and shouted so loud we had to cover our ears, "YOU THREE GET BACK INSIDE! NOW." We look at each other, nodded quickly and ran inside which was hard as we were wearing long, dresses and in Ino's case tight fitting before I run inside I give Neji one last look.
Neji's P.O.V
I can't believe it she is here! HERE staring straight at me then turns away and talks to Sakura, jeez if everyone else were not here I would walked up to her and take her into my arms and say everything that is in my heart to her. But that look that she gave me nearly killed me, it was a look of shock and sadness and also confusion, which I don't get.
"Hey, Shino were is your glasses?" I ask him when I realize that he was not wearing them.
"They are broken, they got broke through the commotion on the bus when we got here." He replied back in his low voice, sometimes I think he is more stand offish than me. I nodded back at him, realizing that Kakashi sensei had gone I had not been listening to Mistress Tsunade when I saw Tenten, but I was shock to see the girls were running inside and Tenten looking at me before heading inside which made me want to run after her. I could not help think that Tenten looked so cute in that dress, its rare to see her in a dress like that, as she's usually wearing jeans and a t-shirt with some kind of design on it.
~xx~
Tenten and the girls where standing by the food table, looking at the selection of food that there were to eat. They had just wished Choji happy birthday, and the dance was under way, with couples dancing in the middle of the hall. Tenten was trying to stay as far from Neji as possible, every time he came over she would run to the girl bathrooms her friends thought she was mad, telling her to get on with it and talk to him. She her-self was not prepared yet to talk to him as her feelings were all over the place, at that point Neji spotted her and started to make his way other, she closed her eyes and made a run for the bathrooms on the east side of the hall behind were the band was playing.
When she left the bathrooms a familiar male voice called out to her, she turned and was staring into the sea foam green eyes of Gaara, before the guys had gone on the trip Gaara had been talking to her more often for about ten minutes every other day, and she had missed their smalls talks. She stepped back a couple of steps, and said "Hi Gaara, what can I do for you?" Almost dreading the reply that she would get as he liked to ask her strange questions, also she was a bit nervous when he was around.
"I was wondering if you would like to dance." He replied, his calm voice, she could not help think that his eyes looked deeper in the light of hall and she could not help smiling. But she was shocked at the question as he never told her he liked dancing.
"Yes of course." She said with a smile, it was a dance and she was not going to let her feelings for Neji to get in the way of having a good time also, they were friends, much to Neji's annoyance. They made their way to the dance floor and got into position, it was a slow dance.
Her three friends were shocked to see her dancing with the red teen, as Gaara usually hangs out with his brother and sister or with Kiba and Shino but they knew that Tenten and Gaara have been hanging out for a bit as well. The person who was shocked the most was a dark haired 17 year old with very light purple eyes. He watched Tenten dancing very close to the 18 year old and he blood was starting to boil in his veins.
Neji's P.O.V
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE! A cold thought ran through my mind as I watch Gaara and Tenten dance very close to each other. I know that they were friends but, why are they dancing with each other?
Suddenly I feel my blood boil in my veins, and I lose my control I walk over to them and take a firm hold of Tenten's wrist and move her behind me almost knocking her into what looked like Guy sensei.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH MY GIRLFRIEND?" I shout at Gaara, who just looked at me like I was crazy.
He then smiles and replies "Dancing." I rise my hand to punch him in his face wanting to rid him of that creepy smile, when all of a sudden Tenten grabs my arm and pulls it down a look of anger forming on her face.
"There is no need for violence Neji." Tenten shouts at me.
I look down at her and seeing the anger forming in her eyes I nod and glare at Gaara and say, "Stay away from her Gaara, if you come near her again I will kill you." With that I grab Tenten's hand and pull her away and head for the Academy's gardens.
When we reach the gardens, I finally let go of her hand, and take a deep breath and sigh. I turn to face Tenten and was sent flying into a near by hedge, she walks up to me and starts to cry. I stand up slow dizzy from the impact and look at her with guilt in my eyes. She finally looks at me and says, "Why did you send me such a cold letter Neji?"
I look at her a little confused and reply "Cold letter? I thought you would like it, I wrote 'Dear Tenten, I miss you, Narutois getting on my nerves and it has only been one day. Wish you were here. From Neji' what's cold about that?"
She looks at me like I'm stupid and says, "That is not what you wrote. You wrote 'Dear Tenten, the guys and I are having a great time. Wish you were here, see you soon. From N.' when I read that, it nearly broke my heart."
I look at her confused, trying to think why she got such a different letter. I take her into my arms and hug her, until she calms down and stops crying, just realizing that my jaw was killing me.
~x~
Gaara stood at one of the big windows in the hall and watched the two in the gardens, he smiled to him-self when Tenten punched Neji in the face. But he knew if Tenten or Neji found out what he had done he would be the one to be flown across a long distance, no matter how much sand he would be able to use.
Gaara then thought to him-self when he saw them hugging, Up until now, my bonds with others have only been ones of friendship. But, seeing him fight so hard for love of someone special has made me wonder what bond and love really is. I think I understand a little now. Suffering, sadness and joy. To be able to share it with another person for love and acceptance, its really what this world is, and what I feel about her.
That the end of chapter 4...
I hope you like...
update very soon as I'm enjoying writing this...
The thought at the end, is a quote from one of the animes' episodes...
I like this quote as it gives Gaara a soft feel, so I decided to add it and added some more words so it would go with this fanfic...
(sorry if Gaara is a little nice in this fanfic but I wanted to show his softer side of love and loving someone.) ^-^...
bye for now also please review/comment I would love to know what you think about this fanfic... ^-^
