Chapter SiX: REALiTY

The figure looked at his hands. This red liquid. Blood. It dripped over his hands. His eyes widened. He looked over to the girl across the room. She looked at him weakly.

"N-Neji.." she coughs out blood. "..w..why?" she asked softly, beginning to see the darkness engulf her. 'Why Neji? Why?' she thought to herself. Before passing out, she looked at her wounded stomach. The blood... her blood.. spilled freely, staining her white gown.

He opened his mouth. "I-I...Tenten...I'm..I'm-"

But before he finished his sentence the darkness already took her.

Tenten sat up, panting heavily, sweat dripping of her forehead to her cheek. She looked around. Then she relaxed. "That dream... no, that nightmare..," she whispered. 'Why now?' she thought. 'Damn, that's right! I'm still here to carry out a mission!'.

She got out of Neji's bed that she borrowed for the night. "Well, I'm not gonna get anymore sleep now anyway.." she turned on her television.

' Haha.. Isn't that the truth, Koji? Well here with today's weather forecast, Mikage Kaname.' the televison ranted. 'Thank you Hisa, well today there is a 50 percent of showers-' Tenten closed the machine. She sighed and rubbed her temples.

She had feeling to day was not going to be her day.

"Tenten-san are you not feeling well?" Hinata asked. Tenten had to say, it was not turning out to be her day. She smiled sheepishly at Hinata. "Not at all Hinata and please don't use the formalities, just call me Tenten.". 'I hope she doesn't see that lie.'

Hinata, who did not seem convinced, nodded slowly. "O-Okay, Tenten-..are sure you don't need an asprin?" Tenten nodded weakly. "I'm sure Hinata.". Hinata nodded and walked out on the catwalk.

Tenten sighed. ' Those bakas! Out of all the things they could do they picked modeling! MODELiNG! And not to mention these clothes are so skanky! And the pefumes hurt my nose! Not to mention you can't walk properly in half the shoes they make!' Tenten was fuming.

From a distance, Sakura and Ino watch Tenten from there seats. Ino frowned. "That poor girl... I think she's exhasted." Sakura nooded. "But modeling isn't just standing around looking pretty, it requires alot of hard work." Sakura reasoned. Temari seemed to be thinking.

Apparently so was Hinata. "Hmm.. don't you think it's kind of werid how Neji-nii-san found her? I mean, he never had any socialization with women before.". Ino, Sakura, and Temari blinked, considering this piece of information. Temari gaped. "That's true."

Ino and Sakura wore evil smirks. "Do you think Neji is falling for this mysterious girl?" Blinks. "Aww, how romantic!" they cooed. Temari sweatdropped. "Well whatever, I'mma' get lunch or something ya'll have fun." Temari siad as she left, leaving poor Hinata to deal with the girls' rantings.

Temari huffed. 'Thank Kami, I have peace.' she smiled. Well smirked, but it was close! She went for a walk through the building. She looked around. 'I wonder if he's here..' she thought. She kept walking not looking at where she was going. Until she bumped into something. Okay, well, someone.

"Oi, oi what's the-" Temari gaped. 'It's him.' her eyes lit up. "I- I... Gomen!" she said, feeling the blod ruch to her face. He smirked. " It's alright Temari-san." he said lifting her chin with his hand. "It was a pleasure seeing you though.."

Temari felt her knees turn to jelly. If he would just kiss her now... "Well I have a meeting. See you around Temari-san." He left her in the hallway, having her stare at his retreating back. 'Can't you notice me..?' she thought sadly.

"Ne? Hinata-chan don't you think Tenten-chan and Neji-kun make a cute couple?" Sakura asked. Hinata smiled a little. "Hmm.. I guess they look cute together.". Ino snorted. "You guess? They look absolutely ADORABLE with each other! You saw how Neji waited for her yesterday! Imagine how long he stood outside in the freezing cold!" Ino ended dramaticly.

Sakura's eyes narrowed. "Ino, it was 76 degrees yesterday.". Ino glared. "That's besides the point! The point is they just need a push in the right direction! I can imagine the little Tentens and Nejis running around - absolutely adorable!" Sakura laughed. "Well I gotta hand it to ya, Ino, that is pretty cute."

Hinata fidgeted. "I just hope father approves of her." she whispered silently.

Neji sneezed. "Geez, Hyuuga, you're really out of it today." Sasuke commented. Neji glared. "Shut up, Uchiha.". Shikamaru yawned. "Probably someone's talking about you." Naruto said taking a bite out of his ramen.

Neji shook his head. "Nah, maybe the weather is getting to my head.". Kiba looked at his papers. "Hey is it me or has our ratings been sky rocketing?" he asked with a smirk. Gaara snatched the papers from his hands. He smirked. "It seems it has..."

Shino and Choiji walked into the room carrying a batch of boxes. Everybody looked at him. "What's that?" Kankuro asked looking at one of the ten boxes.

"Stuff that is due by the end of the month." Choiji remarked. "Apparently Tsunade-sama and the boss worked out a deal. Tsunade is investing in us to. So now we're just two big companies."

Shino continued. " Anyways, we have to work 24/7 now. These boxes are filled with hundreds of merchandise. And we only have..." He looks at their claendar. " ..About four weeks, so we'll have to stay extra hours." Everyone groans. "WELL LET'S REFRESH OUR YOUTH! I'LL MAKE GAI-SAMA PROUD!" Lee shouted, his fist in the air.

"Well, she also asked for us to file some paperwork." Choiji cut in. Shikamaru looked suspious. "... How much..?". Shino lifted a box on to the table and opened it. Inside were about 3 piles of paperwork, piled a foot high. "That much." Shino replied emotionlessly. Shikamaru groaned. Apparently he does the paperwork.

"Troublesome.."

Tenten sighed.She was currently in the park getting fresh air. She looked at the sky. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the clouds were white - what could possibly go wrong?

'Well today was uneventful..'. Her mind went back to the dream she had. She shook her head. 'That... Neji wouldn't...well..' She let out a groan.

Tenten thought about it. 'Maybe we should've met under better circumstances.. . . but why would he..'

Drip.

Tenten looked up again, this time seeing darks clouds and the sun was out of sight. She silently cursed the accuracy of the weatherman. She frowned and got of the bench.

Drip. Drop.

Tenten whipped her head to the sky. "I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY!" she screamed, her tears mixing with the rain.

Drip. Drip. Drop.

Tenten cried. This was what happened. This was what happened to them...

Reality.


TBC..
