Beautiful Disaster

Chapter seven - Untellable

Tenten and Neji sat on a bench outside of Hinata's apartment. She tapped her feet together. Her head was down. They really had to talk about what was going on. The wind was blowing, it was cold but the cold only seemed to be bugging her. 'Say something...' she glanced at Neji. He was slumped back. Waiting for her to say something. She looked back at her feet. She hadn't planned on actually talking to him tonight but...after he accidental opened the door to Hinata's apartment thinking it was his, then the way he over looked her and left. Who wouldn't go after a guy who did that?

Act like nothing happened. Well...of course he didn't see her...spying on him. But it was for his own good. That Temari couldn't be trusted! Nope! Not with Neji! Not with no one! She had that insane brother. Who was to tell if she was insane!? She almost killed Tenten in there fight! What the hell was she supposed to think? She wasn't going to hurt Neji? Maybe...when she kissed him she poisoned him! All these thoughts were going threw her head on top of herself yelling at herself, 'Say something...say something!!!' "Say something!" Neji turned his head quickly at her out bust.

She turned Red. 'Holy hell...that wasn't supposed happen...' Every thought she was having made her blurt out what she was thinking. Best way to start a conversation right? Wrong. He sighed. "Tenten, you called me to talk." Meaning, 'You say something first.' Tenten turned her whole body to face him. "I saw....I saw you." both eye browns indented. "You saw me? What are you talking about?" "I saw you...kiss Temari." Tenten was now looking down. Trying to keep tears from rolling down her cheeks.

Neji looked at her in disbelief. "You were spying on me? Your own teammate? Why would you do that?" he started to get very defensive with her. She looked up, "Why? Are you hiding anything?" Neji stood up and was ready to walk away when Tenten blurted out, "Whats the matter with you Neji?! I told you how much I...how much I loved you and you tossed it to the side like nothing! Then your with the girl who almost killed me in the exams! What the hells the matter with you!" he stood still. He wasn't quiet sure why the hell Temari kissed him. He was just showing her around the place.

Trying to find that damn bastard Shikamaru. He turned around and faced Tenten. Her hair was down, she had this different look to her. He liked it but didn't want to let his feelings over power his enrage that she, Tenten, was spying on him. "Do you trust me?" "What?" "Do you-" "I heard you but...why do you ask?" he turned around and walked into his apartment but before closing the door he spoke softly, "Tenten...I really care about you. I think I like you to much to actually have a relationship with you." That was it. He shut the door. Tenten stared at the closed door.

For the...third time now. He broke her heart. The third times a charm right? Well...this third time was not a charm. It was a slap in the face. Neji surly didn't like her...no love her like she did so she was going to give up. No more Neji.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Neji leaned against the door. He really did care about her. He really did like her but to him. Being lower class in the clan he didn't think he'd bring honor to Tenten and her family. He took off his head gear and placed it on his side table. Why didn't she see that he cared for her? He didn't like hurting her as much as he did but it was all he could do. He didn't think he was worthy of a girl as great, understanding, always going to be there through thick and thin, Tenten. He took off his shirt and glanced out the window. She was heading back into Hinata's apartment.

She walked slowly and in her movements he could tell she was angry and sad. He thought about going out there and talking about what he meant by 'liking her to much to actually start a relationship with her' meant, but before he could do it the phone rang. He got a troubled look on his face. He picked it up, "Hello?" "Hey..." he rolled is eyes and started to take off his sandals, "What do you want...Temari." "Oh...nothing. Talk to Tenten lately?" he could tell there was a smirk on the other side of the phone. "Why?" "Did she see us?" Neji was pissed.

She wanted her to see them? What the hell was her problem? Was she INSANE like her brother?! Were they all INSANE in the sand village?! "....Ya." "Oh..." she snickered, "Thats good. Maybe she could pass on the news to that other blond." Neji raised his eye brow plopping his self onto the couch. "Who? Ino?" "Ya her." Neji felt used. And In a very poor way. "Anyways, have you seen Shikamaru?" Neji stood quiet, ready to hang up the phone. Tenten and him were fighting over...Shikamaru and Ino? "Tch...It would be best if you stay away from him."

Temari's smirk grew wider, "I would but you see...hes in love with me." Neji rolled his eyes and looked out the window in case he saw any sign of Tenten leaving. Maybe if she was about to leave he could explain everything to her and they could be back to their normal selfs. "If hes in love with you then you find him yourself." "I would but...I don't know my way around here. Do you know where he'd be hanging out at? Or maybe where he lives?" Neji glared at the phone, "Your only purpose in life is to cause trouble because you have nothing to do and were raised around people trying to kill your brother. So now your trying to screw up other peoples lives."

There was silence on the other end, "Pitifully." this time it was his turn to smirk. "You make someone like me actually look like a higher rank then you..." "Shut up!" she growled, "Just tell me where I can find Shikamaru and I'll let you and that weakling live your happy stupid lives!" she demanded. Neji didn't know much about anything. He like Sasuke was always busy training but if he did have time for anyone it was Naruto. He gave her his number and slammed the phone down. He stared out the window for a couple more minutes before heading to bed.

He figured he'd catch her in the morning and have a long good talk with her. Half way into his sleep the phone rang again. He opened his eyes and groaned, "Hello?" "...Is Lee there?" a girl with a very pretty and soft voice was asking for Lee? and...AT NEJI'S PLACE?! What game was he playing at?! His eye brow twitched, "No." "Well...can you tell him Keiko called?" "Yeah." "Thank you." he hung up soon after and drifted off to sleep. "A girl calling for Lee...thats different."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Ino was sleeping on the recliner couch with Tenten on her right and Sakura on her left. Hinata was sleeping by Sakura. Everyone knew the love story behind her and Shika. Sakura rubbed her eyes. Yup, just like Ino had guessed, she started to cry half way into it. Funny how a story could shed tears. She laid there, still and careful not to wake up her friends. The radio was playing at a very soft volume. Enough for you to sleep through. A song played and it reminded her of Shika. She tried to hold back her tears.

Since her legs were propped onto the couch she buried her head into them. She listened to the whole song sobbing. She felt her rose running and quickly looked around for tissue. 'Dammit! Theres none!' she slowly got up and raced toward the bathroom. She closed the door slowly, turned on the light and grabbed the toilet paper. She began to blow her nose and after wipe her eyes dry. Before she headed out back to sleep she heard a knock at the window. She jumped and grabbed a tooth brush ready to stab anyone who was knocking.

She pulled open the curtains and she was face to face with him. Her eyes went wide. He put his finger to his mouth as she dropped the tooth brush on the floor. Shika pulled the window open slowly, he had to see her one more time before he pulled of this stupid stunt that Kiba was going to set him up to do. Ino looked so beautiful. "Sh-Shikamaru...what...what are you doing..." she seemed to be shocked. She looked cute when she was. "I had to see you." Ino couldn't stop staring in his eyes. He was actually here. Actually there with her.

For the first time in months which seemed like forever he was standing there...in grabbing distance. Her eyes went soft. "Shikamaru...." she wanted to grab him and just hold him, but she was scared that if she did she wouldn't be able to let go of him. She never wanted to but he forced her to all those times. Shikamaru stared at her as tears started to roll down her cheeks. He touched her face softly, 'God Ino...its been so long...I've missed you so much...' she placed her hand over his soon after. 'Shikamaru say something....say you've missed me. Say you don't want to leave me ever again. Say...you want to make it work this time.' Shikamaru crawled into the bathroom, he never took his eyes or hand off her.

They both remained as quiet as a mouse. Not saying anything. He placed both hands on her cheeks this time, 'Ino..' then pushed his lips onto hers. Ino returned the kiss. They brought it to a romantic kiss parting there lips and embracing every moment of it. Ino placed both hands onto his chest as they kissed. She wanted to stay in that moment. She wanted to make it more. She moved his hand on her waist and continued to kiss him. He knew what she wanted but...no he couldn't. He stopped kissing her and held her close. 'Ino...I cant...its not right. Not now.'

As much as Ino wanted that moment of kissing and embracing to last he left. Like all the other times. This time he didn't leave a rose. He just kissed her on the forehead. She gazed out the window. A small smile came on her face, 'Maybe...Shikamaru....We'll be together....again."
