Stealing Him Away
Chapter Five: The Night
She was sitting on her bed and for the first time in her life she had turned down the dinner her mum had made, she claimed she had had too much to eat when she went out. No one questioned her and surprisingly her sister hadn't bugged her all night. No one had seen the change in Tenten's behaviour. She felt her walkie talkie buzz, it had been given too her as a present from Gai, it was so that the trio could try bonding together when they were out on missions. Neji had 'thrown' his away so immediately she assumed it was Lee. She pressed the button, and waited for and energetic voice to boom through the speaker, but instead she was met with a cool, calm voice.
"...Tenten"
"Oh hello, Neji." she said faking happiness.
"I'm sorry about this morning."
"Oh please don't be you were only having a laugh...right?"
"..." he didn't know what to say, should he tell her he liked her or what? What if she didn't like him back? What if she thought he was messing around with her?
"Oh my sister is wondering when you're going to ask her out again, you know on an other date?"
"Uh...I'm not."
"Why?"
"Because I kind of like someone else."
"I have to go so you're just going to have phone and tell her you're self."
"Phone is a little harsh so I think I'll just come over thanks"
"No you will not."
"Over and out." Stubborn SOB, she thought. She turned off her walkie talkie and ran down stairs bolting all the doors and shutting all the windows, by now her mum and sister seemed to be in bed. She turned off the lights in the corridor so that it looked like everyone was out or sleeping, quickly and quietly she ran to her room and jumped onto her bed pulling the sheets up, she was about to turn off the lights when she saw a figure by the window. She jumped but composed herself quickly, it was Neji. His eye observing the room with hands that lazily glided over her bookshelves and scrolls, he was pretending that she wasn't there.
"What are you doing here...how did you get in?" she asked mesmerised.
"You didn't think that a few bolts would keep me out did you? You're so predictable to me Tenten."
"Chichi's sleeping."
"It's ok, I'll wait till morning." he said faking a yawn.
"I need to go to sleep now so come back in the morning please."
"Nah, I'll just stay here"
"Why you being so difficult?"
"Uh?" Just then someone knocked on the door.
"Quick, get under the bed." Hastily he did so his foot was sticking out from underneath since he was too tall. She grabbed a bunch of teddies and threw them down on his foot, which was wiggling wildly. "For the love of Mike stop moving." she hissed.
"Err, who's Mike?" he was trying to joke around with her but suddenly the door was swung open by a sleepy Chichi who was clutching a teddy. She looked like a baby.
"What's all that noise Tenten, why are you talking to your self?" asked Chichi. Great this is my chance to tell her, thought Neji.
Tenten jumped on the bed so that she could hit Neji on the head and to stop him from thinking about anything. "Um, I like talking to my self, its fun; you should try it out sometime."
"No thanks but can Tenten- nee san read me a story please...just like old time...before you left."
"Ah, alright then."
"Yay said Chichi jumping up and down on the bed. Underneath the bed Neji was in danger of being squashed to death. They were knocking the air out of him and he was beginning to heave loudly. "Uh, what's that noise?"
"Yea, so once upon a time there was a girl called Snow White."
"Tenten?"
"Oh it's my pet hamster, he has asthmas." I'm such a good liar, oh yea. She jumped on the bed just to make sure Neji was thinking what she was. He transformed into a tiny hamster but his eyes were a big give away. He turned into a black hamster with pearly white beady eyes. Tenten pulled Neji out who sat in her hands, not doing anything until a similar hand tried to grab him.
"Ahhh, kawaii." said Chichi. Just then Neji bit her hand. "Ow, you stupid crap head." Neji snarled and did some kind of hamster jutsu which made his fur turn stiff so that it would hurt Chichi even more. He scuttled back under the bed since he felt like he had wasted too much chakra and transformed back. "Ahh, my hand is bleeding, I'm dying, plaster, hospital, spasm attack." cried Chichi in pain.
"Calm down Chichi."
"When I find that rat I'm going to kill It." snarled Chichi.
Eight Minutes and five millilitres of blood later. "Damn my hand is so numb; I think it's going to fall off."
"Stop being so dramatic, you're so full of it, you'd make a great actress."
"Owwwwwww." howl Chichi.
"Ok let's put you to bed now." Tenten was treating her sister as if she had a brain tumour. "Go-to-bed-now-Chichi.
A while later Tenten and Neji were alone and the sound of Chichi snoring echoed in the background. Neji crept out from under the bed a little bruised and shattered. He turned to Tenten who's was now breathing heavily, she was lucky her sister was dense enough to not see a resemblance in the rat. "Why'd you have to bite her for, you didn't have to go that far!"
"Didn't think you'd care that much."
"Well she still is my sister and I do care for her to and extent you know."
"..." he started to smirk to him self again remembering Chichi's shocked face.
"You can go now."
"Not until I have done what I came to do."
"Well you can sleep on the floor for all I care then."
"Dear god Tenten is that how you treat you're guest?"
"I didn't invite you here therefore I have no obligations towards you."
"..." he pulled down the quilt cover that she clutched tightly, it came tumbling on the floor and as did she. She was getting angry now and he could see it but some how it amused him. He pretended to cower in fear. She climbed back on the bed letting Neji keep the quilt. She was furious. Some how she had managed to fall asleep; she was super tired after such an eventful day.After her eyes were shut Neji placed the covers back on top of her.The light on the bed side table illuminated her face making her skin look radiant. Neji found him self drawn to her. His eyes wondered over from her closed eyes to her long curved eyelashes, to her tiny button nose and then to her soft parted lips. They were moving.
"What you looking at," he saw them moving as her eyes stared blankly at him, "thought I was sleeping?" even though she had caught him, he couldn't manage to tear his eyes away from her. He brought his face closer to hers, asher eyes widened in shock.
"Buzz" the walkie talkie buzz before they're lips touched. Slightly annoyed Tenten picked up her walkie talkie and Lee's voice blasted through the other end. "Tenten, this is urgent Neji's gone missing."
"Eh?" replied Tenten.
"Hanabi-sama has alerted me, although she hasn't told anyone else, we have twenty-four hours to find him other wise he will be reported."
"Oh, Neji told me he was out seeing some girl he met."
"What? Isn't he dating you're sister?"
"Yes, two timing, any way don't worry about him ok?"
"Ok." Yata! Lee thought now I actually have a chance with Tenten's sister. Lee was already plotting his moves. First I'm going to tell her what scum Neji is and then I will be her shoulder to cry on. Gai-sensei will be so proud of me. Chichi will no be able to resist me in my new purple jump suit. Lee had stars in his eyes and just then he was bonked on the head by an angry Hanabi who was tapping her feet impatiently. Her plan to get Neji out of the Hyuuga mansion had failed, then again it always did.
Back at the house: the two were again sitting in uncomfortable silence waiting for morning to arrive. "Why the hell did you say I was a two timer?"
"It's half true, you wont have time to tell Chichi you're breaking up with her I'm sure Lee's going to get in first."
"Tenten, you forget, I have the advantage."
"Which is...?"
"I'm staying over to night." Cheeky smirk graced his face and Tenten turned the light off letting the blanket drape over the bed and on the floor over Neji.
