MeguMI: Another one I need help on!
Shino: Oh crap...
MegumI: Ha! I've had this idea floating on storywrite for a while, but no ending ! help me! PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Well, Neji had to marry someone. It was Hiashi's orders. Since when had he actually listened to his half-brained uncle? That didn't matter. The point was-Neji had to marry someone.
Now, who he would marry was another matter. Neji had no interest in girls. Plus, he was 18. He didn't want to think about marriage and all that now. But Hiashi said that it was his "duty as a Hyuuga". Ignoring that, "Dad would have wanted you to," Why?! WHY???? How could his uncle be so low as to use that againist him?
Hinata thought it was great; she was hoping he would find a girl to soften his ice cube heart. If taht was possible, that is.
Neji began to list every girl he knew. Haruno Sakura...ignoring that Uchiha or Lee or BOTH would rip him to shreds if he did as much as talk to her, he had no interest in her...type. She was too...feminine. He shuttered. Oh what a fate he had! Next was her friend Yamanaka Ino. His mind flashed back tot he second test of the exam, where she...flirted with him. Him-the neji hyuuga. No. That was just...ugh. He wasnt' going to think about that. Of course Hinata was out of the question. Incest BAD!!!! OZa...well, he really dind't know her. And she was always with Shikamaru...he'd rather not...go between that. Yuuki had guts...no. No. There was that Uchiha girl Aya...she was strong. No, she was too young. Megumi? Oh, the creepy girl with Inuzuka. She was always hitting him over the head calling him Baka. No... NO...Rekusshi? He hardly knew the girl. That only left his sparring partner Tenten.
He mused over that for a moment. She was the only girl he tolerated. Well, more than taht. He actually enjoyed her company. Yes...the more he thought of it, her listed many things he liked about Tenten without realizing it. He liked her smile, her hair, her eyes, her determination, her strength, her aim--if he had to get married, well, Tenten wasn't half bad. No-she was perfect.
It was too bad that Tenten had absolutely no idea this was going on. Since she didn't have any family, no one was forcing her to get married. And to be honest, she didn't really want to get married. In her mind, every shinobi in this village was...pathetic. Every girl chased after Sasuke, but she saw nothign remotely interesting in him. The others were either caught up in pride of their own abilities or just...UGH Well, there was always her sparring partner neji...he wasn't that bad, really. In fact, rescently, she began to wonder if he was just her sparring partner...
She tried to shake it off. At heart, Tenten was independent. Nothign could get in her way of being the best kunoichi she could be. Not even...love should get in between...
Tenten was walking through Konoha for no particular reason. She didn't have a mission, Rock Lee wasn't stalking her and filling her mind with "youth" crap, Gai sensei wasn't doing likewise, and Neji hadn't asked her to spar. Thus, she had absolutely nothign to do. "Wow I have no life," Tenten muttered to herself.
"Ohayo, Tenten chan-" The timid voice of Hinata Hyuuga reached her ears.
"Oh, Hinata chan! Ohayo!" Tenten greeted back.
"Ano---have you seen Neji nii san?" Hinata asked her, a bit concerned.
Tenten's eyebrows went up. "Well...he didn't ask me to spar with him today, which I guess is kind of odd, but still-no, I haven't" she realized she was off the question. HInata's face grew concerned.
"Is--he not at the Hyuuga mansion?" she tilted her head confused.
Hinata shook her head. "N-no. I don't know where he could have gone."
Tenten shrugged with a smile. "I'm sure he'll turn up somewhere." HInata seemed relieved and nodded.
"Well, arigato, Tenten chan!" hinata smiled and fell into a crowd of people on the street.
So tenten continued to walk. She was beginning to wonder lots of things, such as why she was walking. How she got here-why she was a ninja. Why she always wore her hair in these bun things. Then her mind actually went to ask a useful question---where the crap is Neji Hyuuga?
Well, that was answered quickly, considering that she ran into the Hyuuga prodigy. That didn't happen everyday. Her face grew red as she felt his chest against her cheek. Both of them quickly pulled away. Tenten shook off the esctacy of the moment. "Neji-where have you been? Hinata was worried!" she frowned.
So what was Neji to say? "Oh, I've been with Hiashi, planning my wedding. That reminds me, do you wanna get married?" no. Anythign but that. That did bring up a curious question. What was he supposed to tell her. "I've decided to marry you." O.o
"Well-" Neji began, faltering for the first time in his life.
"Well?" Tenten's curved eyebrow shot up suspiciously.
"I had to talk to Hiashi sama about something," there. True, yet concise. He liked it. That is, until she replied;
"About what?" Neji almost fell backwards. CRAP.
"None of your business," he lied. How could it NOT be her business? It was all about her really. But as though he was goign to admit that now.
"Why you-" she pouted.
He had to restrain a laugh. Tenten was so cute when she pouted----WOAH. Where'd that come from?! Inner neji asked. He coughed.
Tenten still glared into those eyes-those Hyuuga eyes she loved so much. O.o "I thought you could tell me things like this..." she said softly to herself, not realising she said it aloud.
"?" Neji looked at her curiously.
Her face grew red. "N-nothing!" she almost fell backwards. Stupid tenten! Baka!
"I've got somethign I have to do. See you later, Tenten," he muttered, walkign off into the distance. Tenten watched, surprised. Since when had Neji been so busy?
That was close... neji muttered to himself. What was taht that Tenten siad- he began to muse, until he found himself in front of the Hyuuga complex. Inside, Hiashi was waiting for him.
"Did you ask her?" he asked stoically. So much for "Hey, nephew! How was your day?"
Neji shuttered. "Well-"
Hiashi grew more strict. "You mean you haven't even asked her to marry you?"
"How was I supposed to?"
Hiashi sighed. "YOu know nothign about the ways of women, do you?" Neji shook his head. Moving fast, Hiashi found his daughter HInata and dragged her in. Pushing hte two into the living room, he said. "Hinata-teach your cousin about--whatever it is you girls like sweatdrop"
"Um--o-okay," HInata muttered relucantly. Poking her fingers together, she asked. "So N-neji---what do you need help with?"
Silence flooded the room. After a while, Neji replied solemnly. "I need to propose to Tenten,"
GONG
"T-tenten chan?" HInata asked surrpised.
Neji nodded. "WHAT DO I DO?!" he cried, letting his OOC emotionalness get teh best of him.
"Well-y-you can brign her to a nice restauraunt or somethign and ask her there," HInata suggested, trying to imagine how she had dreamed Naruto would propose to her. "I'm sure that whatever you'll do, she'll be happy and say yes!" she grinned timidly.
Neji didn't seem convinced. "..."
O.O "N-neji?"
Suddenly, an idea hit Neji. "ITS PERFECT!" he dashed out, ready to begin scheming...
