I'm sorry if there's heaps of mistakes in this but I have a tight deadline here peoples! After this I'll be overseas so will be taking a short break from writing fanfic but I'll be trying to think up ideas for the other stories I'm still working on. Thank you to my two lovely regular reviewers, you both encourage me heaps otherwise I probbly wouldn't really bother with this. Also I really want a banner... Try to enjoy this, it's not my best I'm afraid...

11. Flute

The music started up softly that evening. Tenten gazed out of her window into the darkness intently, trying to spot the flautist who kept serenading her every Friday night. It just so happened to be the nights she happened to finish training with Neji early. Her night vision was no where near as good as Neji's so after peering into the darkness for a few minutes; she gave up before returning to her task of brushing out her hair after a nice long soak in the bath tub. It wasn't bad music at all, in fact it was very good flute playing, but she just wished that the person would just reveal himself to her.

Tenten sighed and quickly began running through a quick list of possible candidates in her mind.

Naruto? No, he would have told her to her face and made it blindingly obvious. The same went for Lee.

Chouji? Probably not, she didn't think she would be his type, she was the type of girl who would fight over food with him, unlike Ino who was always fanatical about what she ate.

Shikamaru? Unlikely, she wasn't very good at Shougi.

Kiba? Also unlikely, he was like Naruto and Lee, the type more likely to tell her outright that he fancied her. She had almost fed Akamaru chocolate once, not knowing that chocolate made him really sick and Kiba had never fully gotten over that.

Shino? No idea, no ones knew what went on with Shino. She hated bugs though so they wouldn't get along too well, so he was also unlikely.

Sasuke? Probably not, he hated girls despite wanting to repopulate his clan. Ironical really…

Neji? She was afraid to get her hopes up. She had had a crush on him for as long as she could remember but he had never treated her as more than just a friend. But then again, it was hard to know what was really going on in his head half the time.

Deciding that it would continue to be an unsolved mystery, Tenten flopped on her bed and listened to the gentle lulling flute music before drifting off to sleep.

The mysterious flautist stood up from his hidden spot in the tree, the moonlight reflecting off his eyes. He gave a small smile as he watched Tenten peacefully sleep through her open bedroom window and went home.

Training as usual. Tenten took up her stance and readied herself for Neji's onslaught. He in turn took up his stance and studied her for any weaknesses with those unreadable eyes of his. Suddenly they heard somebody approach their training ground and both ninja turned to see who it was.

"Hinata-sama," greeted Neji formally.

Tenten smiled and waved at the girl, "Hi Hinata-chan!"

"H-hello N-Neji niisan and T-tenten-chan, I h-hope I'm s-sorry to interrupt."

"It's ok Hinata, what's up?" asked Tenten cheerfully.

"N-Neji, Father w-wants you to g-go home because A-aunt Hisa wants t-to see how much y-your flute playing h-has progressed," she stuttered shyly and blushed.

Tenten reeled in shock, Neji played the flute? Did that mean…. she turned to stare at him. He turned a bright tomato red and quickly fled. Hinata bowed slightly to her before following her cousin, "Goodbye T-Tenten-chan." Tenten's jaw continued to hang open as she watched the other Hyuuga girl walk away from her.

A/N: This is rather lame in my opinion, I'm sorry. I promise the last one will be better!
