The final Jellybean one-shot is finally here! –jumps around then trips-

Kankuro: Pathetic.

Me: Someone looks glum. Aren't you glad the 'sap' is gonna be over soon?

Kankuro: I'm sulking coz the sap can't end noooow. –sobs-

Me: -gives Kankuro a real pissed look- I don't know if I should comfort you or slap you.

Kankuro: Do neither and you won't suffer.

Me: Oh, and guys? I've got a confession.

Kankuro: -perks head up- You're actually a mutant spider with a hundred noses and you're planning to rule over Hamster Land and set me free from this leash you made me wear stories ago?! –Eager McBeaver-

Me: -twitch- No. I just want to confess that I wish I didn't turn this collection into a ten-shot. Coz I'm willing to put more and more NejiTen shots till it's an any number-shot collection. I love making NejiTen shots and I can't help it. –sob-

Kankuro: Well, you said it's a ten-shot so deal with it! Only idiots take their words back!

Me: Yeah, yeah, I get it. The song "Love Will Find A Way" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from Lion King 1 & 2 inspired me to write this shot. Yes, I love Disney songs. Oh, and I got 'Amor Vincit Omnia' from Swords and Bandages so thanks to him/her! Enjoy!

NejiTen One-Shot Number Ten:

"Someday"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

No matter what you write down on any material with any medium, they'll be just words.

Even if you use an impressive writing style or an elegant twist in every letter, all they'll ever be are words.

It wouldn't matter if you used big words like transgenic, flux, gnomon or even secular parallax because they're all just words.

And words are never enough to express how much he loved her.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

He sat calmly at the river edge, watching the gently flowing surface of the water reflect the moonlight's silver shine. It surprised him that even if it seems to be minutes from sunrise, the moon still dares to glitter beyond its time.

Like always, the cherry blossom petals never ceased to fall and join the passing wind in their dance through the skies. As Neji splashed his feet amid the cool and refreshing waters, Tenten can't help but rest her head against his shoulder, bringing comfort to him.

"What's in your mind, Tenten?" He asked her, sensing her smile curve upwards as she gazed towards the dark horizon. Indeed, the stars have gone but still, the moon stays the same.

Hearing that, Tenten breathed a sigh of relief and shared dreamily, "Don't you ever think of the future, Neji?" Neji could tell that she's having one of those fluffy and girly daydreams again, "What could our wedding be?"

The thought made Neji slowly feel the same sensation of actually looking forward to something great. The light feeling overwhelmed him and all he could do is relax and just listen to his girlfriend talk.

"We'll get married under the very same sky we learned to love together," Tenten whispered, tucking her arm alongside Neji's, "Won't that be nice? And it'd be so wonderful if it were the night sky. The stars would shine down at us. So romantic."

Neji chuckled softly and answered calmly, "Slow down, Tenten. We're not engaged." He didn't mean to pull her hopes or her happiness away, but he has to constantly wake her up from the fantasy she lives in.

But when Tenten heard that, she didn't scowl or frown even after she realized the horrible truth. Not only are they not engaged. They might never get engaged. With Neji's uncle frequently pairing Neji up with princesses of other countries to tighten bonds, their love seems to be impossible.

Still, she spoke up, "Ever heard of amor vincit omnia, Neji?"

As a reply, Neji shot his eyes down to the splashing river and there, he whispered back with passivity, "It means 'Love Conquers All', right?"

She nodded, giving him an immature smile as she said, "Yes. Do you believe in it?"

"I do." Neji admits. Even if everybody thinks that he's the oh-so-great Jonin with hardly any weaknesses, Neji knows his weakness very well. The only one who can tame him and transform him into a humble and sweet man is his Tenten and he'll only admit that he's in love with her.

"What about it, Tenten?" He questioned as he noticed some of the white shine on the river's ripples have faded. It truly is going to be morning soon.

He felt her shrug her slender shoulders against his arm, "Nothing. I believe in it, too, and even with all these things coming across us to keep us apart, I don't doubt it. We'll find a way."

"Find a way to what?"

"We'll find a way to stay together and make our dreams come true together. I know I sound like a fairy godmother, but it's just how I feel. If your uncle knew the happiness we feel together, he wouldn't be trying to break us apart." She explained fully.

Hearing that, Neji didn't hesitate to agree but he slightly opposed, "Don't blame my uncle when it comes to the many sudden arranged engagements. He's only thinking of what's best for the clan and the village, I guess. But we have no choice but to follow whatever comes around."

Follow whatever comes around? Either Neji is getting too lazy to make his own decisions or he's trying to get to his uncle's good side. But Tenten is just glad that Neji manages to negotiate to his uncle about them, canceling the arranged marriages one by one.

"B-But, still. Think about it, Neji. You and me, finally together forever. Nothing can tear us apart again." She was beginning to fantasize again, "Wouldn't you love that? Death can't even pull as apart."

"I know that," Neji wearily answered, keeping his hold firm on her hand, "But you do know that it isn't that simple. Even if I love you, as long as my clan won't allow the marriage, there won't be one."

It hurt both of them that life was cruel enough to keep them far apart. Although their hands are almost always entwined, their hearts can't meet somewhere.

But Tenten hasn't wiped that beam off of her face, which surprised Neji since he has been wearing a grimace for so long already. "It's kinda like Romeo and Juliet, huh?" she mentioned, "Then, why don't we do what they did?"

"What Romeo and Juliet did?" Her boyfriend repeated, giving her a somewhat confused look. She can't be thinking of getting married in secret.

Tenten nodded and held him nearer, "They got married in secret since their families didn't allow it, right?" She was thinking of a secret marriage.

"And if we get caught?" Neji said, simply worried about her.

"It wouldn't matter."

"What do you mean it wouldn't matter?"

"We'd still have our love to keep us strong. Nothing, I said, can make us part. Don't you agree with me?"

As Neji stared back at her compelling eyes, he couldn't help but think that Tenten still has the mind of a child. Behind that mature air of hers, she has the giggle of a toddler and a charm of a loving infant. Sometimes, Neji can't resist but just wrap her in his arms.

She never fails to sound like a sucker for fluff or a youngster with an overdose on fairy tales.

"Don't you believe in fairy tales too much?" Neji asked, giving her a smile as if to softly say her idea is almost impractical, "We don't live in a far off land with kings and dragons and such, you know. I'm sure you know that."

She shot an irritated look at him and a childish pout as she sweetly explained, "Oh really? Then why is my prince here with me?"

And with that, she scooted closer to him and rubbed her cheek against his shoulder like a cat comfortably home with her master. With her behavior, Neji can't help but hold her back.

"Stop it with the cute antics," Neji mumbled, trying not to pinch her cheek, "Look, Tenten, we'll just have to deal with things. Hiashi-sama certainly won't allow our marriage but that's fine. There'll still be us. Definitely, no one can change that. But that's the limit till the arranged marriages stop coming up, okay?"

Neji hoped that it would make Tenten halt her flights of the imagination but it made her nip her lip and kick the water's edge with her foot and growl, "It's not fair. Why are things like this? From what I know, people like your uncle can rule the world all they want! We'll just have our own little world."

The juvenile thoughts of Tenten didn't stop, but Neji can't help but become conscious of how true they may be.

"Tenten," Neji tried to change her judgment, "I never said that the wedding is impossible."

And there, her eyes sparkled with delight and anticipation, "R-Really? There's hope?"

"That's what I see," He replied, his expression as real as ever, "You're right. It'd be great to just… dream for now. And maybe it'll come true someday."

"You think so?"

"I know so…"

Her gaze softened and with a touched grin, she wrapped her arms around Neji. And as she did, Neji murmured at her ear, "…Because if that's your wish, then my wish is to make it come true."

Against the sky, now turning a uplifting blue from the majestic black, the golden orb rose above the horizon, signifying the start of another day. And like that sunrise, the couple now has plans for a bright and new beginning.

Someday, things will be better.

If only our world was fairer and if only love did really conquer all…

The last shot. By the way, I made up the first few lines at the start of the shot so, yeah, I own it.

Kankuro: Woohoo! The sap ends here!

Me: But, you know, I've got an idea…

Kankuro: Oh, gawd, what now?

Me: There's only one way to transform this ten-shot into a –insert any number here- shot: Popular demand!

Kankuro: Oh no! She figured it out!

Me: So, it's up to you guys! Send me a PM or mention in your reviews if you want to keep this collection as a ten-shot or if I should 'upgrade' it to a –insert any number here- shot! I'm willing to take any choice!

Kankuro: No! No! No!

Me: I'll be waiting for what you guys decided and soon, if you ever find an 11th shot here, you'll discover that the ten-shot thing is off! Although, if this stays up to just ten shots, you know which side won. Thanks!
