Autumn

Chapter 9

The three girls, one blonde, one pink-haired and one with Hyuuga eyes, were eyeing me silently. They're really making this big.
"I told you guys, it's not a fuckin' date." and of course the blonde and the pink-haired raise their brow at me.

"You think you can get away from this?" Ino said and I sighed. I looked at Hinata who's sitting at my left side and she just shrugged with a gentle smile on her innocent face. She won't help me on this huh?

"So, did you kiss?" I nearly dropped the tea cup that I was about to lift to my lips as Sakura asked that very very stupid question. We're in a local breakfast diner and the three of them invited me here for a damn interrogation. If I knew that they knew about Neji treating me in a takoyaki restaurant, which I didn't know how they learned about it, I wouldn't be going in this trap.

"We don't kiss, alright? Coz it's NOT. EVEN. A. DATE." fuck. These girls really knew how to make my blood boil. Well, aside from Hinata.

"No sweet thing at all?" Sakura asked again and I instantly blushed at the memory of Neji's hands on my shoulders, the sweet touch of his hanky on my cheeks. Shit. I'm getting giddy.

"I wonder if he already washed it."

"Washed what?"

"Eeh?" did I just said that out loud? Damn. My two stupid friends are now looking at me with knowing eyes. Why do I always say my thoughts a loud? Is this some kind of disorder?

"Washed what Ten-ten?" Ino who's across the table, leaned, so that her face is inches from mine. I averted my eyes and caught Hinata's eyes on my left. She smiled weakly at me. I know this two, if they smell something funny and weird things, they won't let go unless you told them.

"Maybe she gave him a blowjob." the pink-haired girl said.

"Eehh?! Right you're genius Sakura." Ino blurted out.

"Maybe her jacket or Neji's trouser's was tainted, or maybe..." Sakura added at her blunt retort.

"They don't have a tissue and they use a hanky to the wipe the semen..." the blonde said and I blushed even more on the word 'hanky'. Near, so close, just very very near. But I realized that I was very wrong that I blushed because now they are grinning at me like two fuckin' idiots.

"No! No! That's not it, guys!" I said while standing up for them to know my point. But fuck, my arms are apple red and I don't want to know my face.

"Hmmm... Is it big?" Sakura asked and Ino started to giggle.

"Where did you do it?"

"Is it good?"

"No to kiss but yes to blowjob, huh? You are one hell of a bitch girl." my head started to spin because of this comments. I wonder if Neji's junior is big. Shit. Am I having these thoughts right now? I looked at Hinata again but she won't even look at me and she's red all over. No. She's so modest to help me out.

"Bakatachi. You are misunderstanding things. I don't do blowjobs on first dates. And shit! It's not even a date. So please... Just stop okay?" I told them.

"Then what is this washing thing?" I sighed again. I don't want to tell them about the snorting and tearing and my crying. This is so embarrassing. And I know that they would laugh their ass off if I told them about it.

"Smells fishy, nee Ino?" Sakura told the blonde and Ino just nodded her head. This would really turn big if I didn't turn this off now. And maybe Neji will hear about this and he would despise of being with me or maybe, even being near me. Oh no! I can't bare that. You need to think girl. Oh... Why do I have friends who are so fuckin' bright and blast on their heads?

"It's just that... the takoyaki..." I said. "The takoyaki sauce tainted my shirt and there's no tissue on the table and the crowd was overpowering that we can't ask for a napkin so Neji lend me his hanky and I use it to wipe the sauce off my shirt but he snatched it from my hand and said he'll wash it himself coz it's his." I said and I lifted my tea cup to my lips and drank my lukewarm tea. Very clever girl. I know you can think of something. The girls are now regarding me but they're seemed convinced. I smiled at myself. Good girl. Yeah I'm one hell of a smart bitch. I smiled at them. "And Neji isn't that kind of guy. He's cool and good. Right, Hinata?" I smiled at the Hyuuga heiress and she smiled back at me.

"Speaking of Neji, I heard that he was appointed as the Anbu Security Leader yesterday." Sakura said as she ate one of her onigiri. I nearly spit my tea. Anbu Security Leader? So he will handle all of the anbu squads from now on? It has been an order from the Hokage that the Anbu Black Ops' leader should be known by the public so that the Danzo Shimura incident would not be repeated.

"He accepted it?" I asked.

"Yeah. I heard that he'll speak tomorrow on the appointment ceremonies for genin's." Sakura answered. We are now jonins after a while of being chunins. I heard that there are many promising genins this year after their exams two weeks ago. Their promotions would be tomorrow and they would choose if they would join the Seiki Butai, which will serve on boarders and boundaries or within of hidden villages, or if they would join the Anbu Squad. Neji must have done something on his last mission that made Tsunade-sama appoint him. He's even a candidate of being one of the Sannins. He's really a genius and I'm so proud of him and I love him even more.

"Ten-chan?" I heard Hinata inquired.

"Yes?"

"You're smiling all by yourself baka." Ino said and she started laughing. "You are so in love with that guy." I blushed at her retort.

"I- I'm not, baka!" Sakura and Hinata were now smiling sincerely at me. I looked at my fingers as they screwed themselves beneath my palms. "I- I'm going home now. I have to do my laundry." I told them and stood up from my seat and walk to the double doors.

"Kay. See you tomorrow!" Ino shouted at my back. The morning sun bathes me of its new light as I stride to the path leading to our training ground.


I never sneaked up on Neji but this time I just want to see him moved. His liquid muscular snaps and movements made me want to just look at him forever. I am hiding at one of the tall trees that overlooked our training ground. I was about to congratulate him on his appointment when I saw him do his hand techniques and begin his articulate movements. It's like Hinata's hand jutsu but a little different. What caught me and made me stopped on one of the branches was his very handsome and serious face, his eyes closed while doing those movements. And now, unconsciously, I find myself, breathing heavily, my heart pounding so hard in my chest and drumming in my ears. I bet my face is now red like a ripe tomato ready to be harvest but still I kept on ogling Neji from a distance and was now very ashamed to be... to be... fuck... I clasped my hands on my mouth. My eyes were very large by the realization of me being aroused. I am wet and hot just be looking at Neji's face and his fluid muscular form. I was shaking so much that I get down on my knees. I saw Neji stopped on what he was doing. I gasped. Did he notice me? No. Please. I'll be ashamed and all red and hot and he'll find me creepy by hiding while looking at him. But after a while he raised his hands again and resumed his movements, now with flowing chakras on his arms. The muscles on his upper arm bulging more and made me even wetter. I bet if I put my hands on my clit right now, I would be having my orgasm non-stop. Even my nipples were reacting so much on the sight of this Hyuuga boy. I'm sure I won't be having my sleep tonight until I get him out of my system. I closed my eyes and take some deep breath of the crisp autumn air. When I opened my eyes, to my shock, I saw two byakugan activated eyes looking at my direction. I blushed even more and staggered to stand from the thin branch of the tree.

"What are you doing up there?" Neji said. And the freaky girl who was watching her all time crush, melted in shame. The end. I wish this tree would just eat me alive.

"No- nothin'. I was just..." about to masturbate by looking at you. "I was just goin' to sneak up on you and would try if you could feel my attack." very convincing girl, with your squeaky voice... very convincing.

"Come down here." he said with that very hot and authoritative voice. Do you really think I will get down on this branch with my face all hot and red? No shit.

"No." I said. And he's there at my front looking at me with questioning eyes. Damn. I forgot we're ninjas. His big, manly form was now shaded by multitudes of leaves and I'm just looking at him speechless.

"Are you sick? You're red all over." he said as he reached for my forehead. His rough, big palm was under my brown bangs and I am currently in the state of being a half jelly, half human. "I can't tell." he said and in a second his forehead was on mine. The sensation is killing me. Neji's hand was on the back of my head, his body so close to mine, his face, gawd... his face... don't swoon girl! Don't! You can do it, damn girl. "You're fine. But you're red all over. Did you eat something spicy again, little bear." then he smiled at me and I relaxed. I love that smile. It's so rare and smart and cool and handsome and made my heart beat so much I'm gonna die of heart palpitation at 18.

"No. Maybe it's the sun." I said. Can't you blame anybody else?

"Right. It's nearly noon. So why are you here? You're not training on weekends, right?"

"No. I just want to congratulate you on your promotion." I was a little calm now.

"You heard about it huh?" everybody is gossiping about everybody these days that's why I know.

"Yeah. Is that the reason why you're late yesterday?"

"Yeah. Tsunade-sama held me for it coz I can't decide yet." he said a little exasperated at the thought of it.

"Is it a pain in the ass?" I asked jumping to a nearby branch that overlooked our meadow.

"A little. I don't want to burden Hinata with all the Hyuuga responsibilities. I need to help her that's why I can't decide." he followed me towards the branch and sat himself to it.

"But still, you accepted it."

"Yeah." I looked at his sitting form. He's so hard-working and responsible.

"You're so grown-up now, Neji." I said. He remained silent just looking at the swaying browning leaves.

"Your father would be so proud of you." I said without thinking and I regretted it for reminding him of his father but then he smiled and his sweet expression pained my heart.

"Yeah. I bet. He would. This is what he wants me to do. To protect Hinata and my clan." before I knew it, I squatted on his side and smiled at him. "What?" he smiled smugly at me. And I just shrugged and rest my forehead on his right shoulder. He tensed a bit at my sudden action but relaxes when he heard me giggle.

"Neji..." and I giggle more. "I am so proud of you too."


Grabbing my jonin uniform from its hanger which I laundered yesterday after my little chat with Neji, I stand at the back of my house and looked at the sky. I was readying myself for the appointment ceremony. The autumn breeze swept my untied long hair. It was being cradled and swayed like the leaves of the trees that lined up at this side of my house. I need to sweep this browning leaves that was beginning to piled up. Brown leaves just like my brown hair in the wind. How ironic. The appointing ceremony will start in an hour and we will go there as a team. I looked at my uniform and somewhat it brought something very familiar on me. When I was appointed as a jonin and received this uniform I went to Sarutobi-sama's grave and presented it to him.

"Look, Sandaime-hokage-sama, I'm a jonin now." it was summer that time and the blue skies were so pure and beautiful, I felt like crying, but I don't. I am not the tear-jerker Tenten anymore. I bowed to his grave and said, "Thank you so much, Sarutobi-sama." the smooth autumn morning sky today is also as soothing as the sky that day. I feel nostalgic. I don't know why. I wish Neji won't be assigned to any missions these following days. I just… I just don't want him to leave.

"What you thinkin' our beautiful flower?" goose bumps crawled my skin when Lee sneaked on my back. I swiveled to glare at him.

"Don't sneak on me Lee." I said as I stump towards my kitchen door.

"What? You didn't feel me?" he said as if praising his beautiful sneaky ninja skills.

"Fuck off." I snapped the kitchen door closed at his face before he could get inside.

"Hey..." I heard the prominent taijutsu master said and I chuckled.

"What? You didn't feel that?" I said at him then I felt a presence in my kitchen table and there's Neji sitting at one of my chairs and... is he sipping coffee?

"Sorry. I help myself on your coffee, is it alright?" is that my mug? Shit. He's sipping on my mug. Well, it's not like I didn't washed it or something, it's just...

"Ah- yeah. Don't worry about it." I said when I realized that I was pausing so much when I'm talking to him and it was making me look dumb. Surely, he doesn't like dumb girls. Well, it's not like he likes me or what. Ah! He's sipping again. Shit! Damn! Fuck! Neji... I felt the heat crawling up from my neck to my cheeks and I felt like moaning, so before he sees me like this, I marched towards the living room. "I will just tie my hair, okay?" I said without looking at him.

"Okay. But..." he trailed and I stopped on my tracks. "You look better without them... The buns... I mean." it's really good that I was already a meter pass him before he said that because I bet I was like a shinny, red apple.

"Thanks. But I prefer them on ties because they become a nuisance in this kind of weather." I didn't wait for him to reply because I'm getting a little squeaky again and it's annoying, so I ran to the living room, to the stairs and to my bedroom. I closed my door and breathe to calm my nerves. I leaned on the wooden door as if my being flustered over Neji really tires me off. Why would he do that? Complementing me, drinking on my mug, well, he doesn't know it's mine. It's not his fault, stupid. But still... "Neji, baka..." I said to myself.


We arrived at the academy hall at exactly 9 o'clock in the morning. Gai-sensei was waiting for us at the lobby. Upon seeing us, he flashed his very white, annoying teeth and rushed to us just to crushed Neji with his bear hug.

"I am so proud of you, Neji-boy!" Gai-sensei said in a really loud voice making the passing genins looked at us with funny expression.

"Keep it low Gai-sensei, they're looking at us like we are sick." I said.

"There you are Neji-kun." I heard Shizune-san said from the entrance of the double doors. As always she's holding the pink pet pig, Tonton. "We should be preparing you now." she said to Neji then she looked at me. "And team Gai would be next to team Kakashi at the front." oohh... this year's event is much more organized than last year's. Maybe because Tsunade-sama assigned Shizune-san to organize this year. She won't leave the handling again on the guys, namely Kakashi-sensei, Iruka-sensei and Gai-sensei. Last year did looked like a comedy show and a joke and Tsunade-sama was so angry she walked-out even before the event was half-way on its course. As I passed Shizune-san, I saw Gai-sensei thumbs up her. Mouthing, 'Good job' at her and the poor brunette just roled her eyes at him.

Neji departed with Shizune-san and we surveyed the hall in sight of the team Kakashi. Maybe I should have wished Neji good luck. I looked at his broad back following Shizune-san at the stage. His strides are so manly, the genin and the chunin girls can't help but to admire him. He's so cool and handsome. I was about to mouth 'I love you' at his back when he suddenly looked back at us. I instantly blush at the sight of his eyes on me.

"There they are!" Lee tugged at my sleeves and abruptly looked at him to avoid Neji's milky eyes.

"Yeah. Let's go." we rounded the back to the front on the right side where the pink-haired cherry girl was sitting. Upon seeing us, I noticed Sakura's look emerged from Lee to me.

"Sakura-chan! Let me sit-" Lee said excitedly. But Sakura cut him off.

"Ten-chan, I have some important thing to discuss with you. Sit here." she tapped the empty sit beside her. I smiled weakly at her strategic avoidance of her annoying all time admirer. She's more careful right now in handling Lee with Sasuke being so irritated at the taijutsu master. The last time Lee attempted to hit on Sakura, the Uchiha pulled on my team mate's collar and was ready to punch the poor guy. I looked at Sakura's side and saw the prominent cool Uchiha sitting with his grumpy expression.

"Is that really that important Sakura-chan, our flower can wait-" I pointed at him with a deadly glare. My eyes said, 'get-the-fuck-off' and he slump his shoulders, sitting at the last sit on the second row. Sakura giggled when I sat at her side.

"Thank you." she whispered at me.

"You know, I feel bad for Lee sometimes." I whispered back at her.

"Sorry. You know my high-maintenance Uchiha boyfriend is always irritated by my admirers. I don't want any fist-fights right now." she said. Well, that's rather sensible. Gai-sensei who was sitting at the row in front of us with the other teachers and instructors looked at us questioningly as he took in Lee's mood. The junior Gai looked at our teacher and the senior Gai just thumbs him up and Lee brighten up easily. I sighed at them.

"It's really a mystery that you and Neji were still sane." Sakura whispered at me. Yeah. I'm really surprised that we can keep up with these two morons. But of course, we're family, so whatever the faults are, we still accepts each other.

After a while, Shizune-san brought the program to a start. Tsunade-sama spoke, of course, then the Genin's team commander, the retired anbu security leader and of course, Neji, the current anbu security leader. The girls were mesmerized by his serious manly features. Not to mention the Hyuuga eyes.
After the speeches, the selected genins were promoted then the chunins were given the papers on whether they would join the seiki butai or the anbu squad. They were given 10 days to decide on what squad they would join. Shizune-san talked again and promoted the medic squad, but this is of course a special squad, you should have skills and talents to join them. They have screenings and background checks. Not to mention the strict and scary Tsunade-sama as their supervisor.

We were dismissed after 1 and a half hour. The jonins, which means us, needed to talk to the corresponding teams assigned to us. It's like a team assessment that we needed to do whether they passed to be in the anbu squad. Lee and I were looking for team eight of the genin team with team Kakashi.

"How do they assign this thing?" Naruto asked.

"It's on draw lots, moron. The genins draw lots on who they were to talk to." Sakura answered. Naruto snorted.

"What was their problem that they need to talk to us?" the blonde said as we made our way to the open field.

"It's like counseling Naruto, for the likes of you." Sasuke said cooly.

"What did you said?!"

"STOP!" the cherry girl shouted. A warning for her teams childishness.

"Sasuke started it, mou..." Naruto whispered but Sakura heard it and glared at him. Eventually, the blonde get off Sakura's side and walk in between me and Lee. He snorted again.

"Hey. That's bad habit and it's disgusting, mind you." he just look at me with sheepish contempt then glared back at his two team mates at my other side who were talking sweetly.

"She's always siding Sasuke." he grumbled like a child. I sighed at his words.

"Of course, he's the boyfriend."

"I know that. But that doesn't mean that she should do that all the time."

"Haha! I would rather be displeased by Sakura than to be ignored." Lee retorted.

"I'm not like you."

"Oh man, you surely were like me. You were in love with the pink-haired, fair, beautiful maiden named Sakura." the taijutsu master said as enthusiastically as he can.

"Was and were. I also come to realize that Hinata is more likely prettier than her. Not to mention sexier and bustier." the blonde said and Lee laughed.

"Sakura's more appealing. That's why you ought to love her first."

"Hinata's just shy that's why I didn't notice her that much." Naruto fought back and I just let them have their little argument while worrying about Neji. Where is he right now? I didn't saw him when we leave the hall.

"You will know what I mean when Ten-ten and Neji hooked up." I heard the blonde retorted and I faced him with red cheeks and shocked eyes.

"Wh-what?!" my girlie voice again.

"I told Lee that he would be left behind like me when you and Neji-boy hooked up."

"Nah! They won't hook up. We're family. We're like brothers and sisters, right Ten-chan?" Lee said and I am red from embarrassment. Lee thought that I have no feelings for Neji. Shit. Now, I feel guilty.

"Family fuck? You sure your two siblings aren't incest? The two really do wanna fuck." Naruto! How can he say that to Lee!? I'm now so flustered that I don't know what to do. And now Lee was eyeing me. I am too obvious not to get notice.

"As far as I know, they are behaving nicely and Ten-ten is our flower. We protect her with all our might." a little enthusiasm won't hurt, but Lee's obvious excitement is just annoying.

"Ten-chan is flower and Neji is a bee who wants to suck you sweet. Or you want to suck-" before he can finish his sentence, my fist was already deep in his stomach.

"Ah! There they are." I saw the team eights flag on the field. Every team has this banner like flag so that we would know where the corresponding teams are. I waved to Sakura. "Ja ne, Sakura-chan." and she waved back at me. I dragged Lee off his debate with Naruto and waved at the blonde. "See you, Naruto." I said and he just nodded at me, following his team mates on the opposite direction. It's really a blessing that the sun is not blazing so much and there are thin clouds on the autumn sky because being here at the academy's field in a summer day will certainly ticked my sanity off.

The team eight as it shows was composed of two girls and one boy combination. That is a very rare case because absolutely and definitely, the shinobi world is a world for men. I approached the kids. Well, they're kids coz we're the seniors here. We are 2 - 4 years ahead of the genin teams this year. They saw us approaching and the boy with the soft-looking beautiful blonde hair, cut short and neat, stood up from his sit on the grassy field.

"T-t-team Gai desu ka?" he inquired stiffly, the two girls following him.

"You don't need to be nervous we're not goin' to eat you guys." I said and smiled at the boy. He's tall and faired skin with dark ruby eyes. What a charming kid. I think he's pretty popular with the girls.

"Hai! My name's Akihito. Kanbara Akihito desu." he introduced himself. "This is Kuriyama Mirai," he pointed at the peach-colored hair girl on his left wearing red rimmed glasses. "and this is Shindou Ai." he pointed to a very cute girl with a transparent blue hue of eyes and her wavy hair dancing down her waists. The three of them bow to the two of us and saying in unison, "Yoroshiku negaishimasu!" I laughed at their politeness. This assessment shit whatever was being accomplished by our instructors before, not us, so I feel kinda awkward about all of this.

"I'm Rock Lee and this is our flower, Tenten." Lee said.

"I believe Neji-senpai is in your team, right?" the pretty girl with a deep blue eyes which was introduced as Ai asked.

"Yes. But he's pretty busy right now, I don't know if he can join us on our little chat." I answered.

"Is that so?" she's a little down about it. Maybe she's Neji's admirer. Usually, I laughed at the girls who're parading their affection for Neji but this girl looks really sad and small and innocent and cute that I wanted to comfort her but no! She's a potential rival. Who knows if Neji is into little girls? What was that term? Lolicon. No. I will definitely won't introduce you to my Neji, girl. Haha.

"Don't worry, I'll introduce you to him later, Ai-chan." Lee said and I'm doomed coz I didn't realize that he can be so affected by this girl's charm. Pervert!

"Really, Lee-senpai?" she said, obviously happy about it.

"Yeah! Leave it to me." I just looked blankly at him. Pervert. Pervert. Pervert .You are definitely and obviously salivating by this kid's charm.

"Isn't that great Ai-chan?" the girl wearing the red-rimmed glasses told her team mate and Akihito is smiling at the two. Awwnn... What an ideal team. Such peace.

"Let us start now." I told them and they answered yes in unison.

Lee talked to the two girls and I with Akihito. This should be a one on one but Neji is not here so I leave the girls to Lee, reminding him that no funny stuffs and he promised, no funny stuffs.

"So, who's your team instructor?" I asked Akihito as we sat on the nearest tree apart from Lee and the two girls.

"It's Anko-sensei, senpai." he answered. So Anko-sensei decided to hold on a team instead of just being a proctor. His red expressive eyes were regarding me now. I don't know but his look made me so conscious, I began to twirl a lock of my brown hair in between my thumb and middle finger. Wait I'm the senior here so I should initiate the conversation.

"So... Did you choose already, on what squad to join, I mean." I asked.

"No. I want to think it over. Being an anbu means I need to stay here in Konoha, unlike the seiki butai, sounds like adventure. I can be in the boundary or in another village." he boyishly grinned at me. And at this time I'd nothing to say. I wish that I should've talked with the two girls but they looked fascinated by Lee so...

"Tenten-senpai, what is your favorite color?" I looked at him with confusion.

"Blue." I answered. That's when I realized that he wants to keep the conversation and I'm acting awkward and I need to talk coz this is an assessment for him. "Akihito-kun, can you show me a signature technique?" I asked and he looked at me with that funny expression.

"Uhhh... To tell you the truth, I can't, senpai." he answered and I misunderstood.

"Don't worry, I won't laugh if your move is funny." I said and he laughed at me.

"That's not what I mean, I really can't senpai. I'm a gengitsu user and I can't use my technique unless I'm threaten." he said and now I laughed at him.

"You're joking."

"No." and he said it seriously so I stopped laughing.

"Anko-sensei, knows about this?"

"Yes."

"And?"

"And? I'm still qualified as a ninja. Anko-sensei told me that don't let it bother me coz in mission you'll feel threaten, all the time. I'm not good on show offs that's all. But I can show you some taijutsu." and he stood up and made some very funny moves and I laughed so hard my tummy hurts. After that our conversation flowed smoothly and I think he's so charming and adorable. Every time he laughs, I find myself wanting to squeeze his cheeks.

"Say, Tenten-senpai, want to go to a date with me?" this is when the assessment time is finished and we are getting on our feet to join Lee and the others. I was taken a little aback by his question but then I laughed at him, thinking it was a joke but when I looked at his expression, I saw seriousness in it.

"Ahaha. You're not joking?"

"No."

"Then, no."

"Ehh?"

"No."

"Why?" he asked confused. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"I don't have a boyfriend." I said a little exasperated.

"Then why?" he asked again and I looked at the cloudy autumn sky, the brown leaves and also, I asked myself, why?

"I don't know, Akihito-kun. I just..."

"It's just a friendly date, a getting to know each other date and it won't be stiff, I promise." he said, his charming face naturally getting more adorable without him knowing. Feeling trap, I twisted a lock of my hair again and started fidgeting. I heard him snickering. "You're really cute, Tenten-senpai. I don't know why you've got no boyfriend." feeling a little foolish, I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughed even harder. "Such a cute girl you are. And you don't look your age. I feel like you're just our age, senpai." I scowled at him.

"I know I'm childish."

"Please, go on a date with me." he's a natural charmer.

"I think you are very popular with the girls, so why hit on me?" I asked. He looked again with that serious look and he smiled.

"I just find you natural and attractive. You are adorable not trying to be adorable." he said and I instantly blushed at his complement. "Whoa! Senpai-" and I was a little shock at his retort.

"What? What is it?"

"You. are. so. HOT! Blushing like that. Whoa. whoa. I wish I had my camera." he's a little creepy but I find myself laughing at him. "Please go on a date with me senpai, maybe later at around 5 in the afternoon? Oohh. Please say yes." he's really cute and lovely like a little puppy begging for food, that's why I find myself saying 'yes' to this young shinobi.

"But this is all friendly. No funny stuffs, okay?"

"'kay." he said cheerfully. "See you then, Tenten-senpai." he run-off to the approaching group of Lee and the two girls. I stood still at the faint shadow of the tree and watched Lee waving goodbye at the three as he approached me. The two girls looked at me and also waved. I waved back at them, the blonde boy grinning boyishly at me. It's not until the two girls bowed to me when I realized what I've pushed myself into. I stood there frozen, looking at them walking away with wide, wild eyes, particularly at Akihito's broad back. The charming blonde kid talking to his teammates inanimately and I just watched them with cold sweat creeping in my skin.

"Is something the matter, flower? You're pale as a ghost." I heard Lee asked as he settled himself beside.

"I-I'm okay." I stuttered. And as if the matter isn't worst enough, I saw Neji approaching us from the academy halls. Why? Yes! That is why I'm asking myself why. My head begun to spin and my stomach churned. How could I forget about him? How could I accept a date without even thinking about Neji. And to make it worst, I accepted a date from kid. A shinobi 2 or 4 years my junior. I'm purely disgusted by myself, I wanted to puke.

"Tenten? Are you sick?" I heard Neji asked when he stood in front of me. I looked at his beautiful face. Ohh... Neji… That eyes, that handsome hyuuga eyes that I've loved so much. How come I didn't think about it when Akihito asked me out? I am so embarrass that I looked away from him. I feel, I think... I cheated on Neji. But he's not my boyfriend. He never looked at me as a woman. He's... No... I don't deserve him. I don't deserve such a beautiful boy like him. I feel like I'm getting sick. I love Neji so much but still I forgot about him...

"I've accepted... a date... from a kouhai."


A/N: So that's it. I am not very good on cross overs but it is more easier to imagine characters who're existing on a different plane than making up a new one. That's what I thought. So... I kinda like, thought of an alternative, so that imagining side characters for you guys would be a lot more easier. Please I need your thoughts about this. Review, review.. Thank you for your very kind support.
