Ten-Ten's POV

"I just want... to... get rid of these feelings." I told the silver-eyed boy, "I don't want it to take control of my mind and my body."

It was true though, I felt that slight aching in my heart. Throw tantrums at night, just to get rid of the feeling. Why?... Why is this happening to me? Is it because... I... Am I... Have I... Fallen in love with... Neji?...

"That's totally fine for females." He suddenly spoke to me, "They need to get over their emotions and accept their feelings. For males, it's a different idea. So you don't have to get angry with that feeling."

I can't help but cry over these feelings. Do I have to tell him? Tell him that I fell in love with him? Will he reject me and will our friendship break? I hope not. I am certainly not telling him! Never! Never in a lifetime!

I can hear him stand up. He approached me... Oh no... He'll see that I'm crying... What should I do?... Wait... What the... Why can't I stop crying?!

Neji's POV

I approached her. I genuflected infront of her and held her chin up, only to see that she was crying.

"I'm sorry for showing my weakness." She whispered as more tears rolled down her cheeks.

I placed my hands on her face, wiping her tears away.

"Neji?..." she bellowed.

I answered, "As I said... It's really okay for women to show their emotions and weaknesses."

I looked at her sad and confused brown eyes. I was lost in her magnificent pair of brown eyes. She was much more beautiful than I thought. I... love... her...

Ten-Ten, please stop crying... I love you...

Ten-Ten's POV

Neji?... Just what is he doing?... Is HE wiping my tears?... Bu... But why? This is not like him. He's a man that never gives a damn about a person's reactions.

"A woman's heart is fragile unlike men's." he continued, "But once a man sees that the woman he loves is crying... He would feel so weak no matter how physically strong he is."

What is he saying?! The woman he loves? No...

"What are you talking about?" I asked with nervousness.

He removed his hands from my face and smiled at me. Now that's weirder. He is physically strong, mentally too. But I think he blew up or maybe he bumped on a tree or something. This is just a joke, right? I am dreaming... If it was... I don't want to wake up anymore.
