I finally updated and I'm so sorry that I didn't update for like 4 days! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! I was distracted by VK=Vampire Knight. I watched all the episodes again :) I like doing that, I watched all the early Naruto episodes too, I'm super sorry about the late update and I left it at a bad time lol, that cliff hanger wasn't planned at all.Okay, now start reading the story! I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto :( Just the plot.

My world was spinning and wouldn't stop, did Neji really just say that he loved me? "Uh, Neji?" He clear his throat and scratched his head nervously. "Yeah?" "Did you just say that you loved me?" He shifted a little. "Yeah?" I smiled and blushed. "Good because I love you too" He grabbed my hand and pulled me against his body and gently kissed me. "I wasn't going to take no for an answer" I giggled and kissed his cheek.

He drove me home and we sat in the drive way for a bit. "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning" I nodded. "Alright, I should go my parents are probably a little worried." He smiled and grabbed my hand. "Kiss me" I smiled and leaned over and softly kissed him.

When I walked into the house, I saw my parents holding each other while they slept. They must have waited for me to come home last night. I felt guilty for not calling them, I was going to be in trouble. I tip toed upstairs and tried to be as quiet as I could, yes! I;m almost there, just one more…

"Hold it, right there Tenten." Crap…I slowly turned around. "H-Hi mom, d-daddy" "Tenten, you have some explaining to do." I cringed at my father's stern tone. I seriously have never been in this situation in my life before so it was kind of scary when my father gave me that look of disappointment. "Um, I know what your… well no I don't know what your thinking, I just… well… I can't really… Uh…" My parents started to smile and laugh at my nervousness. "Relax Tenten, your not in trouble. Neji called us last night and told us everything." My dad even chuckled. I was so mortified right now. "You guys! That wasn't nice! I was so nervous." "Okay Tenten, we're sorry we made you get jumpy" I rolled my eyes and walked upstairs to my room. My parents are so weird.

I took a shower and got ready for the day. I was so happy, I had to call Lee and tell him what happened.

Hello?

"Lee! Oh god! Neji told me he loved me!"

That's great Ten! I'm so happy! I knew he loved you!

"I was so shocked about the whole thing."

I have good news too!

"Okay, tell me what is it?"

Isabella, is coming from Paris!

"Oh my goodness! That's great news!"

She called me yesterday and told me that she'd be here later tonight. I'm going to pick her up with my mother.

"Be sure to bring her by, Sakura and Ino would like to say hi too."

Of course! We'll all hang out!

"Okay! Oh Lee, I have to go now. Neji is coming me!"

Good luck!

I cleared my throat and tried to calm myself down just a bit.

"Hello?"

Hey Tenten, I called to ask you a very important question.

"Alright, ask away."

Would you like to go out on a date with me tonight?

I giggled softly, I couldn't help it. He was being silly.

"Yes, I'd like that Neji"

Good because I wasn't taking no for an answer.

"So what time?"

I'll come by around fifteen minutes from now?

"Alright, see you in a bit."

Bye.

I rush into my closet and change my entire outfit again. I was wearing my comfy clothes and not date worthy at all. I put on some jeans and a navy shirt. I was walking downstairs while putting my hair up into two buns. I heard a knock at the door, and I grabbed my wallet and opened the door and saw… Sai?

"Uh, Sai?" He smiled "Hello Tenten. I came to see you." This is sooo not happening. "Wh-What are you doing here?" I looked around behind to keep a look out for Neji. "I thought we could talk about what happened a year ago and about what's going to happen in the future." I wasn't sure what to say about it, I mean I was heartbroken because at some point I actually liked Sai. "I don't think now is a good time Sai. Neji is going to be here any moment and we're going somewhere." Sai looked confused. "Neji Hyuga? So… all this time you and Neji." "No, it's new and I didn't want to make a big deal about it. This morning we… and he… it's not like it was planned." Sai started to back away. "I see. I guess I'll be taking my leave now…" "Wait Sai, are you alright?" He nodded and began walking away again. Just then Neji pulled up and walked over to me. "Was that Sai?" Oh… this is crap. "Yeah, he just left" "Hmm, you look nice." "Thank you, and so do you" He smiled and kissed my forehead.

I couldn't stop thinking about the sad look on Sai's face, and how he wanted to talk but I blew him off. But I had good reasons! I was going out on a date with Neji, the love of my life. He drove me to a golf course, and to be honest I was kind of worried because I couldn't golf. I think he saw how unsure I was about the whole thing and he smiled. "Don't worry it's not golfing. It's something better." I was worried about how the bottom of his car was taking the abuse, I just wanted to make him stop so we could walk the rest of the way. "Don't worry we're almost there." I smiled and continued to look outside of the window, looking at the city lights. We came to a stop and Neji turned to me. "Let's go"

He held my hand and led me out into the darkness, I wasn't sure where we were going but it was kind of exciting. I aimlessly followed him and sometimes I even bumped into him from behind. He chuckled at how I shivered whenever our bodies pressed together. We finally stopped after about twenty minutes. "Stop, we're here" "Where is here?" He leaned in a whispered. "Our little heaven" He turned on a lamp and pulled a blanket out of his bag. "Come, lets lay down" We both laid down and I laid my head on his arm. "What would you like to see tonight?" "I want to see a shooting star" He chuckled and stroked my arm gently. "Well, I guess we'll have wait and see" He leaned down and kissed me softly. I was waiting for the moment all evening, my second… well technically fourth kiss from Neji. First one was when we were younger and we gave our first kiss to each other, the second time is when he kissed me last year, third was this morning, and now it's my fourth time kissing him. He rolled over on top of me and started to kiss my neck. I couldn't help it, a moan came out from my mouth and I swear I could feel Neji smirk against my neck. "W-wait, Neji…" I was cut off by Neji's lips again. I could get used to this.

After a while we stopped afraid that we might get too carried away. We laid there with intertwined fingers. I was in heaven just laying there in complete silence listening to Neji's steady heart beat. Just then we saw a shooting star. "Make a wish" I looked into his eyes and smiled. "It already happened…" Then he leaned down and kissed me.

About two months had passed by and Neji and I were inseparable. Neji had officially told everyone at school that I was his girlfriend and the only one. I still hadn't talked to Sai in a while, I really wanted to apologize for blowing him off. I couldn't not be happy because Neji was everything I ever wanted and more, he loved me and I had my fairy tale come true.

I was walking down the hall to the library when I saw Sai enter the art room, so I booked it towards him. "Hey Sai!" He turned around and looked at me questioningly. "Tenten?" I smiled and walked closer to him. "Uh, how are you?" "Your asking me about how I'm doing?" Ok now I feel stupid. "Um, y-yeah." He seemed amused and opened the art room. "Come in, we'll talk." I did as he said and walked in, I was amazed! My portraits hung on the wall and I was… beautiful. Ok, I sound full of myself now. "You like it?" I was so bewildered by how I looked, I was actually pretty. "You didn't have to change for people to like you… I liked you just the way you were." I was stunned. He, liked me? "I still like you… you haven't changed…" I was getting that stupid feeling in my stomach and it wasn't a good sign. I'm with Neji! I love Neji and I always will! It's not that I like Sai, I just feel bad for ignoring the possibilities of something with Sai. If I wasn't so in love with Neji then I'd feel different. "I should go…" He grabbed my wrist before I could leave the art room. "I'm going to fight for you." I was not expecting that.

I couldn't shake that creepy feeling, it was a feeling of dread, I knew it was dread because I felt it the night Gaara was supposed leave. I always make stupid decisions like the one that I just made, talking to Sai was a mistake now I'll feel bad for him. I shouldn't have said anything to him, now he's going to fight for me. Like I know what that is supposed to mean!

Neji waited for me after school since nowadays he drove me to school. I had to ask Neji about the meaning of fighting for someone. "Hey Neji?" "Yes my love?" I blushed, he always did that unexpectedly. "What does it mean to fight for someone?" He looked skeptical. "What do you mean?" Ugh, this isn't going to be easy. "Well lets just say that someone says they like you and that they intend to fight for you." He closed his eyes and nodded soundlessly. "Ah, it means that someone would fight for another person's love. Like say… if someone were to try to steal you away from me, I'd fight for you." It dawned on me what he was saying now and what Sai meant… Oh my… "But you already have my love; so there would be no need for a fight." He chuckled. "I love that your so naïve Tenten. It doesn't always mean a physical fight. It means a battle for love, the person's who love is desired is the love being fought for." I was feeling slightly ridiculous about it now, I mean was I that dense? I didn't feel so good after all I heard, there was no way that Sai would do such a thing…right?

Neji stayed with me that day, we were studying for the English test tomorrow. Come to think of it, Neji was pretty good at English this year. I didn't want to think about the whole Sai thing, I had to prepare for the college entry exams, Neji on the other hand was already accepted to the tops four schools of Japan! "Neji, what do you plan on doing after high school?" The one question we both never bothered to ask each other, too afraid of what the other might say. If you simply say that I was nervous, you're dead wrong! I was deathly afraid of what he might say. I waited for about two minutes before he cleared his throat. "I'm going to be with you…" I smiled and jumped into his arms. "Really?" "Yes, I'd be stupid if I were to give you up. I wouldn't trade you for anything." He said it just like I felt it, I was beyond happy about everything.

I awoke the next morning feeling warmer than usual. I was about to roll over when something stopped me, my whole body couldn't move. I opened my eyes and realized at once why I couldn't move, Neji was holding me… I saw the blue skies and the barely visible sun, it was overcast today. Neji was looking straight into my eyes when I turned to look at him. "You look beautiful in the morning" I smiled and pushed some of his hair back. "You know, you don't look bad either." He chuckled softly. "I think we're late for school today" "I know… but its alright. I want to show you something today" He pushed himself up with his elbows and looked down at me laying on his chest. "Show me"

We drove back into town and he followed me directions pretty well. We ended up at the academy for the arts, not exactly a college for everyone. It was a private college for art majors only. You have to do exceptionally well in high school, thus the reason why I study so hard. "Why are we at the art college?" "I'll show you, come on"

We got out and walked into the school. We walked to the main show room, people were setting stuff up. "Hey guys" The people on stage turned around "Hey Tenten!" "Are you here for rehearsal?" "Uh, sure. Do you mind Neji?" He smiled. "No, not at all" "sit down in the front" He sat down while I went up on stage.

I sat down on the chair I always had since I was eight years old. I grasped my cello and took a deep breath before I started to play. I warmed up just a little before we could really start, I always played my favorite cello piece which happened to be what I played for Sai when he took my picture.

With Neji

I honestly didn't know why we were here. She walked up on stage and I was more than interested on why she brought me here and what she wanted to show me. She picked up the cello and started playing. I didn't know she could play, I was completely blown away by how good she was. It was as if she had been playing for years… is it possible that I missed so much of her life? I mean I knew everything about her because Lee kept me informed about everything they did together and what she did alone. She was amazing…

With Tenten

I loved the ending so much that I played it with extra care. I finished and the rest of the band clapped. "You play so well Tenten" I smiled in response. "Shall we get started?" The girl's name was Lin and she sang the music I wrote for her show. The rest of the band wrote the music with me, in all honesty I wanted to sing the songs but nobody was good enough to play the cello piece I wrote. Lin was the popular freshman in college, she found me one day singing a song and she wanted to do it for her talent show and like a fool I said it was okay

The band set up and we started playing a song called Sweet ticket, it was an intro to the whole concert. We had a concert this coming Saturday for midterms, I was so glad that they invited me to play with them and write the music. I unfortunately wouldn't get the recognition for my work because Lin would get it. I played the cello and soon the band followed in behind me. Neji sat there and smiled only at me, I was happy that he finally got to see me play. I got up and walked to the microphone.

"The next song I'd like to call Suna no Oshiro"

I took a deep breath and cleared my throat when I heard the cello begin.

sotto nagareru shiroi


kawaita kumo ga tooru


haiiro na watashi wa


tada chitte kieteiku no

I closed my eyes and prayed to god that I didn't get off key. I worked really hard to write this song.

miteta

I opened my eyes and looked Neji, he looked stunned! I didn't know it was that much of a shock considering that I've always had a music background.

hoshi wo atsumete

tsukuru suna no oshiro ni


watashi no sasayaka na inori


koborete ochiru

sono ashimoto wo

machibusete nami ga semaru

I sat down at the end of the stage and crossed my legs just like I always did. The only thing that I wasn't going to be doing was being seen…singing… Lin was the singer, she just couldn't sing, and because she was the Dean's daughter I had to play pretend with her or else like she said to me before "I'll make sure you never get into this school" I concentrated on my song again.

kie kakaru inori

kaze ni aorare nagara


soredemo tomori tsuzukete

watashi ga ikudomo motsure nagara


kieyuku te deru

tsukuru suna no oshiro wo

machibusete nami ga semaru

I smiled at the cello player, she was actually really good. And I glanced at Lin she was working on her lip singing. I swear, nobody in this world is more annoying, selfish, and a complete snob except for her.

aa anata e

I watched she pretended to harmonize, but who was it? Me! Yes, it was all me! The music died down and it stopped. The teacher clapped his hands and was yelling at the top of his lungs about how wonderful the music was. I smiled to myself then was pulled back into reality when I saw Neji in front of me. I looked down and he was smiling up at me.

"Your amazing Tenten" "No, your amazing Neji" He opened his arms up and pulled me down into a hug. "Your voice is so beautiful, and you play the cello so well. I didn't know you played or sang." I blushed and hid my head in his chest. He smirked and kissed the top of my head.

I was so happy that I didn't realize that the band behind me was snickering. I jumped behind Neji and poked my head out from behind him, they were all laughing. Neji just turned around and pulled me into a big hug and kissed me passionately in front of everyone!

The laughing turned into wolf whistles and imitations of us, I was slightly embarrassed but when you have someone who was as hot as Neji, you wouldn't care what happened when he was kissing you. Neji and I were too into our little PDA that we failed to see two glares coming our way...

Lin watched as the happy couple kissed and expressed their love freely, she wasn't going to let Tenten have anything she didn't have and that one thing that she didn't have was a boy named Neji Hyuga…

Sai always watched Tenten when she came to play and sing here since she was eight, his father often left him here when he had to grade papers. He always came to hear her play and sing ever since then. He chuckled at the memory of almost telling his secret about watching her play, he told her to bring her cello when he took her picture. To say that Sai was in love with Tenten wasn't enough to define it, he watched her and knew almost everything about her secret life but nothing of her regular familiar life, the one everyone knew. He watched her as she was taken from the stage and stared into Neji's eyes, just looking at them made his heart rip even further apart. He looked back up to see the love in both of their eyes, a love he could never receive from the one he loved, who just happened to be… Tenten. His heart was breaking every minute he watched them embrace each other, he watched as she jumped behind Neji's back from embarrassment, then without so much as a warning Neji kissed the only girl Sai ever loved, and his heart shattered into tiny pieces…
