"Part 2: Fighting off a Heartbreak"
By: AsnGothic
Summary: Basically, the title has nothing to do with this story. I just wanted to write a series from my first "Fighting off a Heartbreak" story with a new couple in every new part. This one is NejiTen. The basic backbone in this story is about Gai's team going on a mission and Neji and Tenten think about each other. XP Pretty lame, ne? Well, enjoy!
Couplings: NejiTen. . .Maybe Lee/? later
Warnings: Slight language warnings, characters may be a little OOC but not completely.

AsnGothic: Well, I decided to write NejiTen. Oh. . .this is so unfair. You guys only like stuff like SasuNaru and KakaIru, right? Well, I can't think of anything but minor couples! Oh well, good for me. I tried as hard as I could.
Kasumi: Feh. You could do better.
AsnGothic: Shut up.
Kasumi: Why did you make this a part 2 of another fanfic? No one will read it that way!
AsnGothic: Ha! Wrong! Someone's reading it right now! -Points-
Kasumi: Hello! -Waves- I did most of the writing!
AsnGothic: =_=;
Kasumi: /We/ own nothing! XP

Bitter rivalry. That's what was always going on around my group. They would never quit! Neji was already a million steps ahead of Lee, but Lee was the only one to master Gai-Sensei's forbidden technique. Those two were always competing. Since when did I become third wheel?
I admit, I wasn't as loud as Lee or as good as Neji to get noticed as much as them. Was I not good enough? I stared down at my hands ashamed. Was I ever going to get noticed? I don't want to be left out. . .
"Ok, group! Today we have a mission!"
"Yeah!" Lee pumped up his fists, not tired from our training at all.
I took my usual seat next to a tree and listened intently. Gai's missions were never one to impress any of us. Neji and I both usually thought Lee was hyper about anything.
"We're going to work part-time at a ramen house!"
". . ." Identical silences were heard from all of us.
"A Ramen House????!!!!" I yelled to Gai, jumping up to my feet, "That's your mission???!"
Lee just stared at him. As usual, Neji didn't look very surprised at all. I gaped at both of them.
After a while, Lee jumped up and smiled at Gai, "Yeah! A ramen house!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
How could . . .those two . . .get hyper about. . .a ramen house? I stared at them both like they were crazy. "You two. . ."
"Forget it."
I turned around to face Neji. Neji never even looked fazed. "Neji! Our mission is to-"
"It's nothing. We'll deal."
"But Neji-"
"Just don't get in my way."
I fumed up. Don't get in my way? What was that? Did he think he could handle it on his own? As if I wasn't feeling damned enough. I grabbed his collar, and I expected him to pull away immediately, but he didn't. His white empty eyes bore into mine.
"Neji! We're a *team.* We're *supposed* to work together! So stop being such an. . .ass, and let us work!!" I shouted at him. For a minute, I just stood there, my hand still on his collar. He had the tiniest bit of surprise on his face. I quickly let him go and flushed.
"Er. . .well, um yeah." I stammered. "Right then. We're a team, Neji" I walked away. I could feel his eyes still on me and I smirked. 'He likes me more when I'm assertive. . ." I thought 'Maybe I should try this out more often.'

AsnGothic: Oh dear, this was only 2 pages not counting my ramblings. . .
Tenten: One and a half
AsnGothic: AAAHHH! Really?
Neji: Yeah
AsnGothic: -Sobs- I wanted to work hard, really! But I forgot my whole dumb plot! Oh. . .
Neji: Forget it. Just say this is an intro or something.
AsnGothic: ! Brilliant! Ok, guys, this was an intro and I'm already working on chapter 2. ^_^ So read and review, and if you guys are anxious for NejiTen, I *am* working on it so don't complain!
