R&R!
"No way! " Ten-Ten shouted angrily
"Ten, you have too!" Ino prodded
"Never!" She huffed crossing her arms, and legs under the lunch table
"Did you forget the plan?" Hinata said "You have to get with Neji! Ino is with Shikamaru, I'm with Naruto, and Sakura's with Sasuke!"
"Yeah, and what's the big deal?" Ino asked biting into her salad. "He likes you."
Ten-Ten nearly pulled at her buns in exasperation.
"BECAUSE! He "likes" my body!" She nearly screamed
"…"
"…"
Ten-Ten sighed.
"Ten, he doesn't just want your body." Ino said. "He actually seems to really like you. He treats you more like a human than his "play" toys."
"Ino's right. He treats you differently from other girls." Hinata agreed
"…I – …Fine, I'll go talk to him…" Ten-Ten sighed,
'But he might be mad at me.' She thought to herself as she headed to the basketball court, where he'd definitely be found.
Before Lunch:
Ten-Ten was walking to the cafeteria for her lunch period when she heard moaning coming from a corner.
'What the…'
She walked toward the secluded corner only to see her target for the mission with another girl.
No big surprise, right?
After all him being a playboy makes it perfectly natural for him to go around with other girls.
"Neji-kuunn." The girl with green highlights in her black hair purred.
Ten-Ten cringed in disgust.
The girl threw her arms around the pearl eyed boy's neck while he smirked down at her and snaked his arms around her anorexic-like waist
'And to think I thought he was finally changing.' Ten-Ten thought
This was the first time in months she saw Neji around another girl. She thought he was actually going to quit his player status.
Looks like she was wrong.
Ten-Ten grinded her teeth and fisted her hands, feeling the sudden feeling of anger.
'What is this? Why do I feel so… pissed off?' Ten-Ten questioned but just shook her head and turned around to head back to the cafeteria just as Neji began to lean down to kiss the girl
Said shinobi, at the sound of footsteps, looked up to see panda buns walking away.
"Oi! Ten-Ten, Mate!" He called, pushing the disappointed and furious girl away.
"What's up?" He queried when he caught up to her fast pace.
"Nothing!" She snapped angrily
"Hey, hey no need to get all defensive! What did I do?" Neji asked confused.
"ARgh!" Ten-Ten screeched exasperated and stopped walking to turn around and face Neji who stood in front of her.
Neji scowled frustrated at the girl in front of him.
"What the hell is your problem? I just wanted to – " he began but was interrupted
"You know what, Hyuuga? I don't even care about what you want! Why don't you mind your own business and go fuck some slut?!" She spat and stormed off.
"Fine." He growled and then looked down with a slightly crestfallen expression.
"Tch. Whatever." He mumbled and stuffed the two tickets in his pockets as he shoved his hands in his pockets, slowly walking away.
(A/N: Ten-Ten doesn't now about the tickets and yeah.)
Back to… well, uh present time
'I guess I was kind of harsh on him.' Ten-Ten thought and mentally sighed when she finally saw the Hyuuga making a jump shot at the basketball court.
"Hey, Neji?" She called as she walked over to him, then flinched at his blank expression when he gave her a brief glance.
"Hn." He grunted
The long haired player made his way to the bench and took a seat, wiping sweat off with a white towel and gulping a bottle of water.
All the while completely ignoring Ten-Ten's existence.
The bun haired girl flinched as he gave her the cold shoulder.
She closed her eyes and breathed slowly.
'Just because he's not in a good mood doesn't mean I'll back down.'
Ten-Ten stood in front of him defiantly while he looked up at her blankly.
"Alright, listen up Hyuuga! I know you're not in the mood, but I have something to say." She started out boldly then sighed.
Neji raised a brow.
"Look, I…" She coughed nervously. "I'm sorry." She muttered pathetically
Ten-Ten avoided his gaze at all costs whle there was a weird silence.
…
"About time." He said
Ten-Ten's head shot up to look at him just to see him smirking.
What was so funny?! She just lowered her pride to apologize…
And he SMIRKS.
Ten-Ten fumed.
"What the hell is so funny, Hyuuga?!" She screeched, flushing red in anger and embarrassment.
"It's just that I knew you would apologize… you just took about a decade to suck up your pride and say two words." He grinned. "But I won't accept your apology." He said crossing his arms.
"What?"
"I. Won't. Accept. Your. Apology."
"Why?" Ten-Ten said dumbfounded.
"Well, Ten-Ten." He said putting the towel around his shoulders. "There's only one little thing you have to do, so I'll forgive you."
"???"
"Be my girl." He smirk/grinned.
"What?!"
"Then I don't forgive you." Neji said looking away and closing his eyes.
Ten-Ten gaped.
'Damn, for the plan to work he has to like me… looks like I have to. Besides I have to get with him anyway.' Ten-Ten thought
"Fine." She mumbled.
"What was that?" Neji asked smirking.
"I said Fine." Ten-Ten said a little louder.
"Speak up. I can't hear you."
"What are you deaf?"
"Just speak up."
"I SAID 'FINE'!!! ME, TEN-TEN, WILL BE HYUUGA NEJI'S GIRLFRIEND!!!" Ten-Ten screamed at the top of her lungs.
Several passer-byers and people playing on the court stopped to stare at Ten-Ten and Neji.
Ten-Ten flushed in embarrassment.
Neji smirked.
"Yeah, I heard you the first time." Neji said shrugging.
"You what?!?!"
"I said. I. Heard. You. The. First. Time. What, are you slow?" Neji said teasingly.
"HYUUGA NEJI!!!!!!"
PUNCH.
Neji just smirked and sucked up the pain he felt in his shoulder
… but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt...
Ow.
"Geez, that hurt. You punch like an elephant."
"WHAT?!?!? Don't you EVER call me an elephant!!"
"I didn't call you an elephant, but now I think I will."
"Don't cal – "
"Elephant."
"I sai – "
"Elephant."
"If you – "
"Elephant Girl."
"GAH!!!" Ten-Ten screamed in frustration.
"…Is that elephant-chan's way of saying she's hungry?" Neji teased.
"DAMMIT QUIT CALLING ME THAT!!"
"…"
"…"
"So you're hungry?"
"…Yes"
"Elephant-chan want a peanut?"
BONK!
Looks like things are back to normal.
Neji wrapped his arms around Ten-Te, who struggled, and pulled his new girlfriend onto his lap and nuzzled her neck.
"So you don't want me to call you elephant-chan anymore?" questioned Neji
Ten-Ten froze and shivered as his hot breath hit her skin.
"N-No."
"Okay then I won't."
"Good."
'You better not' Ten-Ten mumbled mentally.
"Oh, and Neji?"
"Hmm?"
"If I ever catch you cheating on me with some whore, I swear I'll – "
"Don't worry I won't." Neji said interrupting her.
For some reason Ten-Ten felt wave of relief wash over her.
'Why should I care if he goes around with other girls? I mean, he has to like me as something more then just another one of his toys for the mission, but… Why do I feel so – argh, never mind! I'm over thinking this!' Ten-Ten thought mentally and shook her head to get rid of the thoughts.
"Will you cheat on me?" Neji suddenly asked
Ten-Ten blinked. The question shocked her and it took her a few seconds to answer.
"No, of course not." She answered a little confused. "Why do you care?"
"Because you're going to be my first real girlfriend." Neji answered.
"Wh – ?"
He second she opened her mouth she felt Neji's tongue dive in. He licked against her canine tooth and coaxingly lapped at her tongue. Ten-Ten could only stare at his lidded eyes in surprise and watch him pull away from the kiss, then lean his forehead against her own.
"Because I really like you." He breathed.
"I, I like you too, Neji." Was all she could say
He smiled at her and pulled her back flush against his chest.
'Aw, crap. What the hell did I get myself into??' Ten-Ten thought mentally.
Her eyes softened when her gaze landed on a content looking Neji who had his eyes closed and a real smile playing on his lips.
'Now, I know how Hinata-chan feels. She doesn't want to hurt Naruto and now… I don't want to hurt Neji.' Ten-Ten thought.
"Ten-Ten?"
"Huh?" She asked, snapping out of her thoughts.
"I just wanted to say…"
"Yes?" She asked intently
"I won't ever cheat on you because…" He trailed opening his eyes to look at her with a smirk.
"???"
"You'll always be my one and only elephant girl."
Ten-Ten's eye twitched.
"Moron, Neji-baka!"
Punch.
"Mou, that one hurt… will you kiss it better?"
Wack.
"Okay! Okay! Geez, no need to get all physical!"
"Hmph."
"Although we could always get physical in the pleasuring way…"
BONK!
"Alright! Alright! I'll stop!"
And so it ends here! For all of you that were waiting for some NejiTen here it is! The whole chap is starring them! Now for the rest of you who want to see what happens... you'll have to wait for the next chap, gomen!
Well, plz Review! You'll get a peanut!
Okay maybe not a peanut but how about a cookie?
