Ten Things Never to Say on the First Date:
4. That's not how my last girlfriend acted.
It had taken three weeks for Ten Ten to finally come on a date with the genius Neji Hyuuga. He had been bothering her for a long time to actually come with him on one and she finally gave in, saying it would be for only one time. So the location would be the small training grounds they normally trained on. There they would have a cute little picnic and talk. That's what Ten Ten thought was so appealing about it.
Neji spent all day telling his teammate, Rock Lee, that he needed the spot for the afternoon and Lee would have to find somewhere else to train for the afternoon.
Then he had to get ready, which was a chore. Hinata giggled every time he would ask her about something she thought he might look nice in. Then Naruto showed up with Shikamaru, having heard from Sakura and Ino about the date. They added pressure with their constant jokes and bullying of the poor elder ninja.
Finally it was time for him to go out to the training grounds. Ten Ten was already there, laying out the blanket for them to eat on and Neji couldn't help but notice how pretty she looked in a Chinese style dress. She sat down and they began chatting, like friends would, and Neji even ventured to ask Ten Ten if she would like to start eating. That's when things seemed different.
"Oh! I love this stuff!" Ten Ten said, opening a bowl of rice and began to eat without hesitation. If anything, she didn't eat with grace like Sakura did, or with manners like Hinata did.
"Did you want some?" Ten Ten asked, looking up from her bowl of rice. Neji hadn't meant to stare at her the way he was, but something about watching her eat made him uneasy.
"Uh, do you always eat like this?" he asked, though Ten Ten didn't seem to understand his strangeness.
"Only when I have to wait three hours after lunch to eat. You wanted it to be in the afternoon, remember. I'm starving," Ten Ten said, beginning to eat again, this time not holding anything back. She reminded Neji of Ino, and their very short time together. Neji hadn't really thought of Ino as a great girlfriend, but she was polite when it came to eating. She normally would eat like crazy but when Neji would ask her on a date during their short-lived dating period, she would always be careful in eating and never eating too much.
"That's not how my last girlfriend acted like," Neji said, though it was only in passing. Ten Ten felt her ears prick and she suddenly looked up from her bowl, staring at Neji wide eyed.
"What?"
She set her bowl down but Neji didn't seem to notice.
"She was never so barbaric," he said, but it was a wonder that Neji Hyuuga was ever really called a genius…
Naruto and Shikamaru happened to pass by the hill Neji had taken Ten Ten for their date and noticed that something was propped against the tree. Neji was covered in bruises, kunai and shuriken, pinned to the tree, his friends laughing as he wondered what exactly he had said that was so wrong…
- Had a little help writting this one. I was out of ideas and my brother suggested this sentence I used. Sorry for all you Neji fans, he had to be beaten up, just like Sasuke and Shino. Oh, well. Gonna do Kiba next, I think, but I don't know who the girl will be... there are so few girls in Naruto... Oh well...
