Jikan Yo Tomare~Stop The Time
Author's Note: So...I'm working on two stories coming up for the Naruto section... One is called Hatenai Sora, a KakashiOC story, and the other still doesn't have a title, but it's an another SasuSaku story. Anyways, happy new year people! Though, I did drink sake for the first time, and I almost got drunk after a while. Though, I made this chapter come out early, since this story is almost three years old, and I want to hopefully finish this before September.
anilove15: Of course, I am fully aware that the storyline is exactly like Itazura na Kiss. I already had stated earlier that this was going to be based and probably like ItaKiss.
Disclaimer: I, KawaiiTenshiCeres, does not own Naruto:Shippuuden, Jikan Yo Tomare by Azu feat. Seamo, or Itazura na Kiss(which this story is based on)

"Well, that does it for the boxes. Anyways, come on, Tenten, we need to say goodbye to the Hyuuga family."
Tenten absently followed her father back into the Hyuuga household, as she looked at the three of them with a slightly forced smile on her face. She politely bowed to them as she flashed a tiny sheepish smile upon her face. Her father had approached Neji's father, and gently shook his and Neji's hand, before giving a brief hug to Neji's mother. Neji's mother was lightly sobbing, apparently depressed to see Tenten leave.
"Remember! Tenten-chan, you'll be always welcomed here, okay?" his mother said, forcing a smile upon her face.
"Okay." she responded. "Even though it was only for a while, thanks a lot for taking care of me and my Otousan."
His mother slowly approached the brunette and gave her a deathly tightening hug. A tiny smile formed on Tenten's face, as she gently hugged her back. Her eyes darted twowards the ever-so collective Neji, as he turned around and headed back into the household without a word. It already hurt her deep down that he didn't care much for her leaving. Rubbing her eyes for a moment, Tenten had quietly retreated to the car and sat there before her father went in and began to start the car.
"...I'm sorry, Tenten." her father started. "I know it's hard for you to leave after all, we've been there for quite a while..."
"It's fine." she spoke up. "I'll be okay." she added, putting on her earphones.
terekakushi na serifu mo
The words I hide in my embarrassment

The moments when our eyes met
anata to iru jikan mo
The times I'm with you
tarinai kedo
They're not enough, but
saishuu densha miokuru made
Until I see the last train depart
nigiri shimete kureta te
I'll tightly hold the hand you gave me
sarigenai yasashisa ga ureshii yo
Your nonchalant kindness makes me happy
"Wow. Now, we're going to hang around here because Hinata just had to hook up with Naruto." Ino groaned. "You sure you're not going to be hurt by seeing that guy?"
Tenten leaned on the fence quietly as she slowly turned up the volume on her iPod. She was indulged into the song, trying to ignore the constant ranting of her buddy. It was only recent, but Tenten began listening to AZU. After all, one of her songs, 'For You', quickly made her a fan, and since she wasn't in the mood to fool around and piss off people, though it was probably the only thing she would be listening to right now.
"Tenten! OI! TENTEN!" Ino shouted plucking off one of Tenten's white earphones. "Sheesh. At least listen to me instead of going all emo-ish over Neji-san." she grumbled, smacking her in the back of the head.
Rubbing the back of her head, the brunette quietly glared at her blond friend. "Ouch! What the hell, Ino?" Tenten argued, clenching her fist tightly into a ball.
"At least help me support Hinata and Naruto." she muttered. "Me and her rooted you and Neji on, so you'd better cooperate and return a favor to her!" she scolded.
Hesitantly nodding, Tenten plugged her earphone back on, and resumed the song. Ino was giving hints and advice, as their friend sat there nervously. Naruto was barking out orders, while the guys on the team were eyeing the poor Hyuuga girl. Before she met up with Naruto for their little 'date', Ino had to let her borrow her clothes and make her look 'cute' enough for him to notice her...Well, the exact opposite happened, and they had to take notice of Sakura and Neji on the other side of the tennis courts, casually talking to each other.
"Tenten!" Lee said with a bright smile, as he approached the two of them.
"Oh, hi, Lee." Tenten said. "Something the matter?"
A tiny blush formed on his face, as he grinned towards her. "Let's go on a date!" he said proudly, saluting her.
Her chocolate-colored eyes widened, as her eyes glanced Neji for a brief moment. Gently nodding, Tenten had began to approach Lee, and he gently took her hand. They had slowly walked away, as Ino nodded and gave a sigh. Placing a hand through her hair, the blond glanced past Naruto and Hinata and watched Neji and Sakura intently. Whatever was going on, it was already suspicious to Ino, and she needed to find a way to bring her best friend and Neji back together...

If it's a fairytale
sugu ni anata no iru asu e yukeru no ni ...
I'll quickly go to the tomorrow where you exist...
"Thanks for taking me out."
Tenten smiled lightly at the ever-so blushing Lee. They had stopped to glance at Neji and Sakura who had slowly approached them. Her eyes looked away, as Neji nodded to the two of them. It felt strange that she was avoiding his eye contact most of the time, and she was staying quiet. Obviously, he would try to make her crack under pressure. Even if they lived together for a short time, he already figured out how she acted.
"Well, this is a surprise." Neji stated. "You two getting along well?" he questioned.
"O-Of course!" Tenten shouted. "R-Right, Lee?" she questioned, looking at Lee with a bright smile.
Lee's hand released Tenten's as he gently placed a hand upon her waist and pulled her close. Her eyes widened in shock, as she lightly smiled towards him, not noticing the slight jealousy forming in the Hyuuga's eyes.
"OF COURSE!" he said as his eyes began to sparkle. "Come on Tenten! Let's go!" he said cheerfully.
Nodding in agreement, Tenten had walked with Lee as they left the other couple. Both of them had suspicious looks on their faces. Sakura brushed her hair back, she folded her arms over her chest, and closed her eyes thoughtfully.
"Are you really letting her go off like that?" she grunted, nudging the Hyuuga.
"Why? Isn't okay?" he questioned, cocking an eyebrow towards her.
Gently chopping his head, Sakura glared at him. "You told me you're in love with her. Now you're just going to let her go like that? Wow, what a great way to play her 'hero', Neji."
"Her Otousan wanted her to get married to Lee. Why should I try and interfere with their family business?" he stated, beginning to walk.
Tugging the sleeve of Neji's shirt, the brunette glanced back towards her, noticing a slightly irritated look on her face. "Listen here! I'm playing along with your dad's wishes, and I want you to go after her, NOW." Sakura demanded. "You and I both know that we don't like each other more than just friends. I know that deep down you don't want to marry me. Now please, please, go after Tenten. Y'know, by the looks of things, he might even take her virginity." she said, with a tiny smile.
"Why are you doing this?" he questioned.
"Because...Someday, I'll tell him how I feel. I've been in love with Sasuke-kun since high school after all and I still am. It's strange, but I dreamt that before I lost Sasuke-kun in an accident. That's why...I don't want to lose him to someone." Sakura stated. "Okay, Mister Genius, go get her. I'll...I'll go find a way to talk to your Otousan." she nodded, patting him in the shoulder, as she left him standing there.
"Wait, where are we going?"
It was strange. Even though they left Neji and Sakura a few minutes ago, Tenten was suspicious that they weren't going to some park to hang out. It was clear as day they weren't going to even go to his house...The flashy lights. The provactive women wearing tiny dresses and sported poofy hair and caked-on makeup. The men wearing thousand dollar jewelry and suits, apparently smirking at the ever-so nervous brunette.
"Isn't it obvious?" he grinned.
Her eyes widened within seconds. They were clearly in the red-light district. His grip on her hand was tight, and she couldn't escape. As Lee slowed down to a stop, they were in front of a flashy love hotel.
"Ready?" he questioned.
Tenten looked away, before slowly snatching away her hand. Her eyes gazed down on the cold cement for a moment, as she quietly shook her head. Sure, she had to forget Neji...Though, she wasn't ready for this sort of thing...Especially since it was with Lee. Gulping down her saliva, she looked up at her concerned friend, before forcing a smile on her face.
"I-I'm sorry, Lee..." she said softly. "I...I need to go."
As she began to walk, something gripped her wrist lightly. Looking down, Tenten noticed Lee's hand wrapped around her wrist. He quickly pulled her into a tight hug, forcing her face to turn pink in embarassment.
"Let go of me." Tenten ordered. "I..."
"I like you!" he shouted, gripping her body close to him as tightly as he could. "I will always like you, Tenten! I don't care anymore if you still love Neji...It's because...I don't want to lose you to Neji again! That's why I want you to stay with me!"
"Let go, Lee!" she shouted. "I can never love you!"
Pushing Lee away, Tenten looked at him, seeing his eyes widening in shock. She couldn't bother to say anything anymore. Her eyes began to water, as she quickly began to run off, not noticing the hurt Lee standing there quietly. She had stopped in her place to plug her earphones into her ears, to try and drown out any voices trying to bother her. Once she was far enough, she stopped in her place, and stared up into the sky.
"...I'm so horrible..." she whispered to herself before she had began to walk.
every time, everyday, everything...
Every time, everyday, everything
kotoba ni shinakute mo
Even though it doesn't become words
anata wa watashi no tokubetsu na basho
You are my special person
moshi mo tatta hitotsu negai ga kanau nara
If my only wish could become true
futari dake no jikan wo kamisama tomete yo ...
God, please stop the time that is only ours
"...Huh?"
Raindrops quickly poured down from the dark sky, quickly soaking her. Pushing back her soaked bangs, she had to head back to her apartment. After what happened earlier with her and Lee...She couldn't bear to face him after all. She played along with him, and ended up running away. She knew that he was probably more than just heartbroken after rejecting him like that. Her eyes looked down as she absently walked.
"Maybe...I should stay single for the rest of my life..." Tenten sighed to herself. "Probably adopt a kid or two...And I'll just try to be happy." she whispered.
Walking into an alleyway, Tenten stood there, pressing her back against the cold, brick wall. She was practically lying to herself. She couldn't be happy without him. She felt foolish for not even trying to fight to get him away from Sakura. When he gets married, she'll try to smile and happily wish them luck. That's all she could do...Afterwards, she would probably just simply get drunk and cry to Hinata when no one is looking.
"If it's fate, we'll meet each other, right?" she sung to herself, before hearing her phone ring.
Absently picking up her cell phone, Tenten closed her eyes for a brief moment, before muttering a 'Hello'.
"Where are you?"
Her eyes snapped open within an instant, on the verge of dropping her phone. "...Neji...kun?" she whispered. "...Why are you calling me?"
"Isn't it obvious? Your father is looking for you, and he ended up calling me to make sure that you're safe. So, are you at the train station at least?" he questioned quietly.
"Y-Yeah. I'm about to head home..." she said softly. "Don't worry, just go home! I'll be able to get home, so don't wait up!" Tenten said as cheerfully as possible.
"Fine. Bye." he said, hanging up.
Exiting the alleyway, Tenten had slowly began to walk out onto the rainy streets, before bumping into someone. She nearly tripped, only to feel a hand on her wrist tugging her to force her to stand straight up. Her eyes glanced back before quickly snapping her wrist away from her 'savior'. Stopping in her place, her eyes widened, seeing him snapping his phone shut and gazing at her while holding his umbrella up high.
"...Neji-kun?"
