Artheph's Note: No worries! I have not died under the evil pressing pressures of school. In fact, I'm very much alive, hating school with ALL MY MIGHT. Wow, I haven't written anything…in a really long while. BUT I churned out this instead of doing some journal responses for English…one of which was calling out to be done LAST Saturday. Whoopsies. I'll do that…uh…tomorrow. Heh. BUT anyway, I must warn you, this one-shot/chapter is kinda OOC and REALLY RANDOM. Like random to the quadruple. In fact, it should be called a crack!story…cuz I think I WAS on crack when writing it. Not like I'm advocating taking drugs or anything…but, ENJOY!
Neji/Tenten
"Look at that big, bright sun shining ever so brilliantly down upon us! Look at that be-a-uuutiful butterfly flying towards me! Ah, I'm just the happiest anything can ever be!" a flower with white splotches on its pale blue petals yelled aloud to itself.
It seems the flower has been infected by Lee's infectious happiness when he had been bounding through the fields earlier during the wonderfully sunny day.
"Oh the joys of being alive! The clouds, the sky, the birds, the leaves, the grass! The air I'm breathing! The sugars I'm producing through photosynthesis! Merry!"
Shouts were heard in the near distance.
"Springtime! Youth! Is that a happy battle nearby? A perfectly friendly, happy battle? Yay!"
A kunai suddenly flew straight down into the middle of the ex-joyous flower with white splotches on its pale blue petals.
Its last thought was, "Damn."
"How could you not remember!" a furious girl screamed.
"It's our twentieth one-week anniversary!" her prey, a now very pale boy, shouted back.
"Nooo! You're wrong!" She threw another set of kunai at him.
Neji dodged the oncoming barrage of weapons. This was not good for his health. Especially since he had just come out of the hospital after breaking several ribs and a left forefinger during a mission.
"It's our fifth four-week anniversary!" he tried.
"Dumbass!" More hurling of various sharp metal objects.
"It's our 152 day-th anniversary!"
His only-slightly-conscious-demure-logical-mind questioned, "Is day-th even a word?"
His very-conscious-fear-sensing-part-of-the-mind answered, "Who the hell cares!"
"Argh!" Tenten snarled.
"It's our thirty-eighth four-day anniversary!"
This one didn't even deserve a vocal response. Instead, Neji got a nice, big fuuma shuriken thrown towards his right shoulder.
He was running out of ideas.
"It's our five-month anniversary!"
"Oh, so NOW you remember."
Neji breathed a sigh of relief and asked himself whether there were any benefits to having a psychotic-ninja-girlfriend-with-really-good-aim who was able to think of the most random anniversaries for every single day of the year. After learning the consequences of not remembering their third second one-day anniversary, he had to spend every night thinking of possible combinations for the next day.
Tenten walked up to Neji, unexpectedly emanating a completely different aura from the battle-crazy-and-absolutely-livid-ness she had before. Neji looked on curiously as she smiled sweetly and took a small brown tube from her pocket.
"Chocolate lip gloss?" Neji's only-slightly-conscious-demure-logical-mind asked.
"CHOCOLATE lip gloss!" all-the-other-parts-of-Neji's-mind responded.
See, another one of Tenten's obsessive compulsive quirks is having a huge assorted array of different flavored lip glosses. And after a number of kisses, Neji learned that certain flavors actually tasted like their namesakes.
Tenten applied the lip gloss to her lips, blinked prettily, and proceeded to give Neji a deep, pleasurable kiss until they were both breathless.
"Ah, so there's one benefit," Neji's now-more-conscious-demure-logical-mind remarked.
