Chapter 3: Yes or No, Tenten's Last Decision
It has been 6 days since the announcement of marriage and today is the day that Tenten will have to decide if she will marry the Hyuuga heir or not.
Tenten's mother shook her gently and said "Honey, wake up or you'll be late for school!"
Tenten just covered her head with her pillow
"Honey, come on wake up!"
"I don't want to go to school today!"
"Come on get up! Ino and Sakura will be here soon"
Tenten just sighed in defeat. "Alright! I'll just go and get ready!"
Tenten went to the bathroom to wash her face and have a shower. 'Tenten, what will you say? Will you say yes or no? Will I just say no and let me dream as a fashion designer go down the drain?'
Flashback:
"It's just that I feel that I am not making the right decision."
"Tenten, look if you keep thinking about the marriage, you might end up in a hospital bed! Look at you! You're pale! That's because you didn't eat the whole day. So come on, stop thinking about it, alright?" said Sakura
"Oh, alright! But I still feel that I am not making the right decision."
Ino rolled her eyes and thought, 'Here we go again'
"Tenten, do you love him?"
"No!"
"Then you're making the right decision! If you don't love him, why spend the rest of your life together?"
"Tenten, you need to accept the marriage for this is the only way we could let you and your brother continue your studies."
"B-b-but there has got to be another way to solve this."
"Well, there is one way."
'What is it, mom?"
"You have to stop studying."
"WHAT? But my dream as a famous designer would be ruined!"
"Then you have to sacrifice that!"
End of flashbackAfter she took her shower she put on her bathrobe and went to her closet to grab her uniform.
"Tenten, hurry up, Ino and Sakura are here!"
"I'm coming, mom!"
Tenten was running downstairs and she suddenly felt light-headed, she touched her head and thought, 'Oh man! What's happening to me?'
Ino and Sakura ran towards Tenten and asked, "Tenten-chan, are you alright?"
Tenten just nodded her head
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Sakura"
"Tenten, you really, really, really don't look good! What will do you say if we hold you until we reach the school!" suggested Ino
"Yeah, sure! Thanks, Ino!"
The 3 girls reached the school ten minutes earlier than their usual arrival. They went straight to their classroom and assisted her to sit down.
"Tenten-san, are you alright? You don't look very good!" asked a girl named Michiko
"Yes, Michiko-san, I never felt better!" nodded Tenten
"Oi, Neji! Neji! What's wrong with you, man?" asked Sasuke running towards Neji
No reply
"NEJI!!! What's happening to you, man?" Sasuke waved his hands in front of Neji's white eyes.
Neji was surprised when he saw Sasuke's hand waving about, "Hey! Can't you see the guy's thinking? What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? The right question is what's wrong with you?"
"What? Oh, nothing…"
"Nothing, huh?" asked Sasuke looking very suspicious. Neji just sighed.
"Alright, fine! You win! I'm thinking about the marriage and I'm stressed out because of the etiquette lessons, kinda dumb, huh?"
"Yeah, very dumb! Never in my life that I saw you that distracted" smirked Sasuke "You know, man? You just have to stop thinking about that or what you're gonna do when you become heir or have to follow that stupid crap or…"
'Oh, shit! Here we go again! The babbling continues!' thought Neji 'I better get out here!'
Neji went inside the classroom trying to avoid the now babbling Sasuke. Sasuke followed suit but didn't stop babbling even if he sat down.
"Oi! Sasuke! Sasuke! STOP!" shouted the irritated Neji. "When you start talking, no one could stop you!"
"You stopped me! So it proves you wrong when you said when no one could stop me if I start talking"
Neji just stood up and started walking outside the classroom.
Sasuke ran towards him and asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm just gonna play basketball, wanna come?"
"You bet! Why would I pass up that chance? I still haven't got a chance to beat you in basketball!"
Neji just looked outside and just watched the clouds go by and just sighed
"Here we go again, What's wrong with you?" sighed Sasuke
"I'm just looking at the clouds."
"So?"
"I'm just envious of them."
"Why?"
"Because they are so free and no one tells them what to do."
"Oh, right!"
"Tenten, could you please answer the equation written on the board?" asked Iruka
"Hai, Iruka-sensei!" Tenten went in front of the board and got a piece of chalk. She was about to write the answer when she suddenly felt dizzy. "I am sorry, Iruka-sensei but I suddenly felt dizzy"
"Oh, alright! Ino could you kindly help Tenten get back to her seat?"
"Yes, sir!" Ino went in front and held Tenten in her hands and shoulder but Tenten took them off gently and said, "Ino-chan, I can go to my seat alone, I can handle it, Thanks!"
"Are you sure, Tenten-chan?"
"Yes, Ino!" Tenten smiled
"Oi, Neji-nii-san, c'mon let's grab a bite to eat!" offered Kira
Neji just stood up and nodded
"Sasuke, want to come too?"
"Sure, Kira!"
Neji, Kira and Sasuke were running straight to the cafeteria because they were being followed by their fan girls.
"Damn fan girls, they keep on following us! Any plans, Kira?" asked Sasuke
Kira shook his head.
"How 'bout you, Neji?"
Neji nodded, "You know who I'm gonna marry, right?"
"Yeah! So?" asked Sasuke
"There she is now with her friends! We will go there and make it look like we already have girlfriends!"
"What? But…" said Kira
"No buts, Kira! Just play along so these crazy fan girls will stop following us!"
"But, Neji-nii-san, that seems kinda wrong for Sasuke and me but for you it is only right because Tenten is the one you are going to marry."
"Hey, Look! She hasn't decided yet if she will marry me or not so it's also wrong not only for you or Sasuke but also for me! Alright?"
"But still, Neji-nii-san, what will we do if they don't play along with us?"
"Of course they won't play along with us, man, of course no woman with their right mind will play along with guys who just go in front of them and pretend like they are their boyfriends! Live and learn, buddy, live and learn!" said Sasuke
"Oh, alright! Then what are we gonna do?"
"Just pretend to be having a conversation with them, alright?" said Sasuke
"Alright, Sasuke, you go to the pink-haired girl!"
"Alright!"
"Kira, you go to the blonde-haired girl!"
"Okay!"
"While I go to Tenten!"
"Sakura-chan, do you hear that screaming and shouting in front of the cafeteria?"
"Yeah! I wonder what could that be?"
"Never mind that! Let's just eat, I'm hungry!"
"Alright!"
Sakura and Ino were already eating but Tenten is just staring at her food.
"Tenten-chan, why don't you just take a bite?" Sakura held Tenten's hands
"No thanks! I'm not hungry"
"Tenten, you should eat. Look at you! You are already thin enough to be mistaken as a toothpick!"
Tenten weakly laughed at Sakura and stood up to throw away her food.
"Let's go, girls! We still have to go to the washroom to fix our hair."
Sakura and Ino frowned at each other then looked back at Tenten. "Alright!" When Ino and Sakura was about to stand up they were surprised when they saw 2 boys run past them and helped the girls stand up. One boy went next to Tenten and hugged her
"What are you doing? Let me go!" said Tenten
"Just hang on for a minute! Those crazed girls are following us all day long!" said
Neji
Tenten just didn't speak up.
When the fan girls saw this they were giving death glares to Tenten, Ino and Sakura and just left cursing them.
When Neji saw the girls leave he instantly let go of Tenten and just stood there waiting for a slap or a punch but nothing came. He was just surprised when Tenten suddenly collapsed in his arms.
"Whoa! Hey! Hey! Wake up!"
When Ino And Sakura heard Neji trying to wake her up they ran towards Tenten.
"What happened?" asked Ino
"I don't know! She just collapsed! What the hell is wrong with her?"
"S-s-she haven't eaten for 6 straight days because of the marriage!" said the now crying Sakura
"What?"
"It's true, Neji, it even got worse when she found out that they are going to be bankrupt so she has to stop studying to make her brother continue studying." Said Ino
"Hey, man, don't just stand there! Bring her to the clinic!" Said Sasuke
Neji carried Tenten bridal style and went to the clinic.
When Neji and the others reached the clinic a nurse rushed towards Neji and asked, "What happened to her?"
"She fainted" Neji answered coldly
"Oh! Just put her in the bed" pointed the nurse to other room.
The room is white and only fit for two people. It only has a bed and a chair beside it. It also has an open window covered with a curtain to let air in the room.
Neji put Tenten in the bed gently and tucked her in. He got out of the room to talk to the nurse.
"I already put her in the bed."
"Thank you! Just wait here. We will just take a look on her."
Neji and the others waited in one corner when the nurse came to them and said, "Well she fainted because she hasn't been able to eat for days and she has a fever"
"Miss, what's her temperature?" asked Sakura
"It's 39 degrees!"
"Miss, can my friend and I stay to watch over Tenten."
"I'm sorry only one person can watch over."
"Oh!" said Ino and Sakura
"So who's it gonna be?" asked Sasuke
"Well, there is one person!" smirked Ino
"Who?" asked Kira
Ino, Sakura, Sasuke and Kira agreed that it will be Neji who will watch over Tenten
"Kira, you go tell him!" said Sasuke
Kira walked towards Neji and said, "Neji-nii-san, the four of us agreed that you should go watch over Tenten."
"What?" Neji looked at Sasuke and the girls and looked at the room. "Why?"
"Because we thought that since you and Tenten will be getting married it's only right that you go watch over your wife-to-be!" smiled Kira
"Alright, you win!"
The two girls hugged each other and the boys just smirked.
"Don't worry, man, I'll tell Asuma-sensei that you're at the clinic watching over your wife-to-be!" Sasuke put his arms over Neji's shoulders.
"You better not say that!" Neji shrugged
"Just kidding, man!"
"If that's a joke, how come I'm not laughing?"
Sasuke smirked and just left Neji alone. 'He just can't take a joke, can he? Typical Neji.'
Neji was reading a book when he heard Tenten moaning.
"Where am I?" asked Tenten to herself never knowing that Neji is there beside her.
"You're in the clinic." Answered Neji still not taking his eyes away from the book
Neji saw Tenten trying hard to sit down so he held her arm and back helping her to sit.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here because your friends decided that since you will be my wife, I will have to watch over you."
Tenten just stood up and said, "I-I- I have to go home my parents are waiting for me" she only took two steps and almost fell, luckily for Neji's quick reflexes he caught Tenten.
"I'm fine!" shrugged Tenten "Now let me go!"
Neji just smirked and let go of her immediately.
Tenten took her things that were on the nurses' table.
"Where are you going?" asked Neji
"I said I'm going home!"
"Well, I'm going with you."
"Why?"
"Because today is the day you will decide if you will marry me or not so I have to be at your house to know your decision."
"Fine! Come on!" Tenten continued walking outside the clinic.
Tenten and Neji were walking silently to Tenten's house when Tenten suddenly felt dizzy and fell down but Neji caught her.
"Thanks!" said Tenten as she removed Neji's hand from her arm.
"Don't mention it! I think that you should hold on to me because I am getting tired of always catching you! How many times did I catch you this day? Let me see 8 times? No it's 9! Yeah it's nine times!" Neji took her hand and just placed it in his arm.
Tenten could see her face turn red, 'maybe I should accept the marriage, I think it could work out! I can sense that he's kind-hearted but just afraid to express it.'
Flashback:
Tenten was taking a bath when she thought things over, 'I don't care if I can't fulfill my dreams being a fashion designer! I just don't want to spend the rest of my life with a cold-hearted jerk!'
Tenten threw the rubber ducky at the door and just shouted, "I hate him, I hate him, I HATE HIM!" Tenten sunk her head in the water and started kicking the bathtub .
End of Flashback
Tenten went back to reality when Neji was already shaking her.
"Hey! Hey! We're already here!"
"Oh, wha? What did you say? I didn't get it" said Tenten
"We are already at your house!"
"Oh, right!" smiled Tenten
Tenten rang the doorbell and a guy in a black suit opened the gate.
"Neji-sama, Tenten-sama, please come in"
Neji just nodded and Tenten said to the guy, "Umm… Mister in the black suit, could you just call me Tenten? I really don't…" Tenten wasn't able to finish because Neji took her hand and dragged her inside the house. The guy just bowed at them.
"Hey! You can't do that! It's my house!"
"You don't want to keep your parents waiting, do you?"
"N-n-no!"
"Then let's go!"
When Neji and Tenten went inside the house they saw Tenten's parents wearing kimonos and talking to Neji's uncle.
"N-n-neji, is that your father?"
"No, my father's dead. He's my uncle."
"I-I-I'm sorry!"
"It's alright!"
Hiashi noticed Neji and Tenten standing at the front door.
"Neji, Tenten, come and sit with us!"
Neji just nodded and Tenten followed suit.
After hours of talking the most awaited question came.
"Tenten, will you or will you not marry my nephew?"
"Well, you see, sir, at first I didn't agree to that idea because I thought the Neji is a cold-hearted jerk but I think that he is a kind-hearted person but he's just afraid to express it and I think that I may be able to help him express it and maybe it could all work out. So yes, I accept the marriage."
Tenten's parents cried and Hiashi and Neji just smirked.
