"italized words" = song lyrics...so you guys wont get confused with the conversations and the thoughts. My comments will be betwen [] signs
Courses: Neji talks about his courses. I used the Ontario school system so it's like this: EX: ENG 2D1
ENG-Course code (the subject), 2-grade 10(1-4) D1 (Level-grades 9 and 10 uses D1, grades 11 and 12 uses U1 [University] or C1 [College])
All arts begin with A, Math M, techs T and so forth...I'll shut up now...
Weakness: Chapter 4: DDR, Alliance and a fight
Neji wiped away his tears and put on the radio to work out to. Thank you Orihime...Your techno music has its purpose. He thought as he put on "Children of the Sandstorm." He practiced his punches and kicks on the bag pretending that the punching bag was Ryoma. He didn't notice that someone else entered the weight room.
"So you do love her," someone said behind him.
"Momo-senpai," Neji looked at the older boy, "don't tell anyone." Momoshiro gave him a pleased smile and nodded.
"Tell her how you feel, Neji." He instructed as he prepared the exercise bikes. "If you don't tell her how you feel, you'll never know how she feels about you."
"We've been friends for so long...I don't want to get rejected..." Neji said punching the bag. They worked out to the fast paced music playing on the radio.
Tenten lay in her bed while Anna and Hinata listened to some rap music. First Izumo then them...I'm stuck with this annoying music. She thought. "Jesus walks..." "Can you guys change the song to something more soothing to my mood?" she asked her friends who were lip singing to the music...
"This song rocks Tenten!" said Anna putting the volume louder "The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now." Tenten rolled her eyes and covered her ears. Hinata showed an evil grin.
"Hate the thought of her being with someone else, But you know that it's over, We know that it's through, Let it burn, Let it burn, Gotta let it burn" the radio started playing.
"HINATA!" Tenten yelled. Of all the songs...why this? She got up and left the room pissed off at her best friends.
"That was low, Hina," said Anna staring at the raven-haired girl who had a gigantic grin pasted on her face.
"She wanted a song to go with her mood."
Tenten went down to the weight room to blow off the steam her best friends just gave her. They are soooooo evil...
"Hey Tenten," Momoshiro said getting out of the weight room. She saw Neji on the treadmill topless. Don't stare...it's only Neji, your friend... she told herself. Your friend with a very hot, sweaty body...what the hell did I just say? She shook the negative thought out of her head and grabbed the boxing gloves. She punched the bag furiously. Neji stopped and sweatdropped. She's cuter when she's pissed...I wonder who pissed her off...he looked her up and down. She's your friend...stop staring at her...she has a nice ass though...
"Stop staring at my ass, Neji," Tenten said and smiled. She forgot why she was mad. "Let's play DDR!" she said pointing to the machine at the corner of the room.
"I wasn't staring!" he said getting off the treadmill and getting on the other machine. They both set the level on heavy. "You pick the warm up song," he offered.
"You're the worst liar, Hyuuga Neji," she said as she chose the song "Tsugaru" "Ready?" she asked.
"Hey ya guys!" Boasted Sora. She noticed the two teens playing and quickly ran out to get the others. They both finished and Neji chose the song "Max Unlimited" as the other house members piled into the weight room.
"WOOO!" shouted Hinata. "It's been a while since I've seen you two play!" Neji and Tenten ignored her. They concentrated on getting the notes. "Shit!" they both said missing a note. They finished the second song and decided to play "Sakura." The others stared in awe as they both got over 120 combo until they each missed a note.
"Damn!" shouted Tenten as they got off the machine, exhausted. "I had it!" the others were still in a state of shock from their amazing performance.
"GUYS!" Kyou shouted snapping back the others to reality. "Fire house is here!" They all filed out of the weight room and went straight to the dining room where Fire house stood behind their sensei, Hatake Kakashi. Rain house went to stand behind Kurenai who sat at her place on the table. "Kurenai-sensei, why are they here?" Sora whispered to their teacher. She grinned at the orange haired girl and whispered something to her. Sora's face contorted to confusion. "Sensei, please say you were joking," she pleaded.
"No she's not joking, Sora-san," said Uchiha Sasuke. "We are forming an alliance."
[After the 1-½ hours debating over the alliance]
"It's done then," said Kakashi getting up to bow. His house did the same to their hosts. "It will be a blast kicking Lightning house's ass with you guys." He added and left. The members of rain house sat down at their seats grinning over the newly formed alliance.
"This is going to be an interesting school year," Jun remarked. "but sensei, wouldn't Lighting house try to form their own alliance against us and the Fire house?"
Kurenai smiled and nodded. "I'm sure they will form one once the word gets out. I'm positive they will either chose the Star house or the Water House as their partners so be ready." She sighed. "Fire house was the best choice for an ally. They hate the lighting house too. You all know what happened last year. Kakashi isn't the type of person that holds a grudge but he wont ever let what happened go unpunished."
"What happened last year, sensei?" Kisa asked.
Tenten held her head down. "My brother...he was injured badly by Seto Kaiba last year." She said. "It was a friendly soccer match between the fire house and the lightning house.... it wasn't for an award or anything.... but Seto Kaiba.... he..."she was in tears but continued the story. "Izumo was goalie and he saved Seto Kaiba's penalty kick allowing his team to win by a point...Kaiba was pissed and he and the other lighting boys beat up my brother...sending him to a coma for 2 weeks...Sure I hate my brother, but family's family, right? I doubt Kyou will let someone hurt you two."
"Aside from himself," added Alexiel breaking the angsty mood created by the story. "Well, with the help of fire house, we'll beat those lighting freaks for sure!" she got a positive response from everyone and Kurenai let out a smile. "Time for dinner, guys are cooking, we set the table."
They all separated to do their work. Neji pulled Tenten to the empty den.
"The hell?!? Neji what do you want?" she asked glaring at the boy who pulled her in. Empty room, bad thoughts...god I hate my over active imagination...
"Well get them back for Izumo, Tenten," he said in a caring voice. He gave her a hug and smiled at her making her blush. He pulled away and sat down on one of the couches to watch some TV. I swear I will never do that again...unless it's her...
Tenten stood froze at the spot where she and Neji hugged. Was that a dream? She asked herself as she looked at the boy sitting on the couch. She sat beside him and asked shyly, "what's your classes this semster?"
"AMU 2D1 [music], ENG 2D1, MFR 3U1[gr 11 math...he fast tracked gr 10 math], SNC 2D1 and one of the mandatory. I get to be with you in 3 of them.
"Cool!, You're with me, Hina, Anna and Ryoma for English!" she said cheerfully. Neji's veins popped at the sound of Ryoma's name. That's it...He thought.
"Fuck Ryoma!" he shouted standing up. "He's part of the house that beat the shit out of your brother! He's using you too! Open you damn eyes Tenten!"
"I know he's part of that house but he wasn't involved!" she yelled back. "He's a friend and he's not using me! Why do you care anyways? You never cared!"
"Who says I don't! I've always cared!"
"Yeah about yourself! Nothing more!"
"You think you know everything but you don't! Go off to your fag boyfriend then!" he yelled and turned the volume louder.
"HE'S NOT MY BOYF-" she yelled but was cut off when Neji pushed his lips on hers. He pulled away and felt the room quickly. Stupid Neji! Why did you suddenly do that! Why! He argued with himself as he went up to his room.
Tenten once again stood in shock of the event that just passed. She touched her lips trying to remember how it felt against Neji's. My first kiss... she thought.
"Tenshi," Hinata said from behind snapping her back to reality. "Dinner."
"Uhmm...yeah.." she responded heading for the dining room. The all sat down to eat and the whole time, both Neji and Tenten tried to avoid eye contact with each other. Hinata and Anna picked up on it fast and so did Kyou but said nothing. Something happened...I wanna know what. Hinata thought finishing her ice cream. "Hour left til lights out. Go do your things. Remember 10 pm. Light out." They nodded.
After dinner, Kyou, Anna and Hinata pulled Neji to the empty hallway. "Something happened between you and Tenshi," his cousin pointed out. "what did you do to her, niichan?"
"I did nothing to her," he said. Did she tell them?
"Then why were you guys avoiding eye contact during dinner?" asked Kyou
"None of your business, neko. Now move. I want to take a shower before going to bed." He responded and went up the stairs to his room.
"DAMN HIM!" cried Kyou shaking his fists at the upper floor. The girls let out a deep sigh.
"We'll ask Tenshi and tell you tomorrow, cat," said Anna smiling at the orange haired boy. "Night nite." She and Hinata went up to their room and found Tenten playing games on her laptop.
"Hey guys," she greeted her two roommates.
"Ok Tenshi, what happened between you and niichan?" Hinata asked sitting on Tenten's bed. Tenten blushed lightly but said nothing.
"Tenshi! Tell us!" pleaded Anna.
"A fight happened. We had a disagreement in the den," she told them. Yup a fight...that resulted to my first kiss. "I'm going to bed..."
The first day back at Seishun Gakuen...My... this day was full of surprises...Tenten thought as she felt slumber befalling her. Tomorrow will be hell...
Neji lay in his bed. Tenten...I wish I could tell you how I feel...He touched his lips and closed his eyes remembering how her lips felt. My first kiss...he smiled and shut his eyes.
Time for the comedy and the other romances to start. I am a fruit...don't hate me for it...[yawn] 3: 30 am...I go bedly by now...Will update soon...promise...
