The Songs That Define Us
Song: Smash Into You
Artist: Beyonce

Tenten threw another weapon at her spandex wearing teammate as they trained in one of the old practice grounds. It had been awhile since she sparred with Lee, because she usually did so with Neji, but she didn't really mind. It was a good chance for them to catch up on old times. She always liked reminiscing with Lee, he always made their old adventures together seem more… colorful.
Head down
As I watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
Eyes shut I find myself in love racing the Earth
And I'm soaked in your love
And love was right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong
"Do you miss him Tenten?" Lee asked with a smile.
Tenten dodged one of his punches, that came dangerously close to coming into contact with her shoulder. That question caught her a bit off guard.
"Yes…" She could feel her face grow red. Neji and she had been dating for only a short period now, but this was the first time they had been separated. The reason that she was training with Lee. Neji had been called away on a semi-long period mission. The Hokage estimated that it would take about 2 months.
That of course made both of them weary.
I wanna run (run)
Smash into you
I wanna run (run)
And smash into you
"I'm sure he missed you too Tenten!How could he not miss our beautiful flower!" Lee punched his fist in the air, which almost made him lose his footing.
That statement made Tenten blush as well.
The thought of Neji actually missing her… was so different. It made her embarrassed and happy at the same time. She couldn't help but smile.
"So when does our Neji come back home?" Lee asked.
Ears closed
What I hear no one else has to know
Cause' I know
That what we have is worth first place in gold
And I'm soaked in your love
And love is right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong, oh...
Tenten laughed at Lee. If only Neji could hear him call him that. "Uh, tomorrow, is the date marked on my calendar." Tenten said proudly.
Lee gasped. "That soon!? I haven't even prepared him a party for his safe return!"
"I'm sure Neji won't mind Lee." Tenten explained.
"Well, do you have anything planned for his arrival tomorrow Tenten?"
Come to think of it, Tenten didn't have much prepared. She knew that Neji didn't like to have fuss made over things like this. All she was planning to do was to cook him his favorite dish for dinner.
I wanna run (run)
Smash into you
I wanna run (run)
Smash into you
Smash into you
Oh......
"Tenten!" Lee and Tenten immediately stopped their training and looked to the figure approaching them. It was Kotetsu Hagane. What was he doing out here?
"What is it?" She asked, still confused as to why he was here.
"I was told to get you, by the Hokage." Tenten's heart started to race. Was something wrong with Neji? Did he not make it back safely. "The team containing Neji Hyuuga, has returned."
Tenten's heart skipped a beat, he was home…
"Oh! That's great news Tenten! We should make our way to the gates to greet Neji!" He punched his fist again into the air, but slowly brought it down, when he realized that Tenten was already gone.
Head down
As I watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
Eyes shut I'm in love and I'm racing the Earth
And I'm soaked in your love
And love is right in my path, in my grasp
And me and you belong
The front gate was all the way on the other side of the village, but she didn't care. She was exhausted after training with Lee all day but still, she didn't care. She traveled straight through the village, not caring who saw her racing past them. All that mattered to her, was seeing Neji.
Sweat trickled down her face, as she grew closer and closer to the gates. Her head was pounding and all she could hear was her feet as they came down onto the ground. Her breathing grew heavy, and her chest heaved, but that didn't stop her.
Oh...I wanna run
Smash into you
I'm willing to run (run)
Smash into you
Finally the gates were in sight, but her vision was a bit cloudy. Only one figure stood out to her among the ones there. It was tall, had long dark hair and could have been none other than Neji Hyuuga himself. The final stretch was in front of her, so close to her target.
Tenten shut her eyes, put her head down and plunged herself the rest of the way.
She could sense she was close, and opened her arms in embrace. She felt herself crash into him. He staggered back a bit but was able to keep the two of them upright. She quickly breathed in and knew in that moment that it was truly him. There was no mistaking it.
He was really home.
I'm ready to run, run, run, run, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm ready to run, run, run, run, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna run, runSmash into you
I'm willing to run (run)Smash into you
"Welcome home Neji…" She sighed against his chest.
"It's good to be home…"
Geez, I'm sorry this took so darn long. D:
School's got me as swamped as ever,
and updates are getting to be tough.
I will finish my goal of 30 chapters though!!!
