The Red Ribbon
Note:
I don't own Naruto. You might have figured that because it's
called a "fan" fiction.
I just wrote this chapter… and
submitted it on the same day as chapter 4 XD. Looks like this fan
fiction will go on for a while. YAY! So…yeah… I'll try to put
in the next chapter right now so I don't lose my audience.
Me focus too much on Tenten, now it's time for Neji!
Chapter Six
"Ok… it's the perfect plan…" Neji thought as he gathered a bunch of kurnei in his pouch.
"I'll defiantly kill Lee!" He kept repeating to himself for the rest of the day.
It was finally 5 o clock, Lee was probably at Tenten's house already.
Neji walked out of his house, getting a good idea that Lee was taking Tenten to the lake. So…he walked that direction. He saw Sakura walking by just like this morning.
"Hi Neji," Sakura said. Neji just continued to walk. Sakura chased after him.
"Don't be so rude!" Sakura yelled as she hit Neji.
"Ok, what do you want this time?" Neji cruelly asked Sakura.
"I just wanted to show you something that might cheer you up…" Sakura started.
At Tenten's house:
Argh! This day is going to be a disaster! Tenten thought, Why do I have to go out with Lee? How will this benefit my relationship with Neji? I'm such an idiot! Baka baka baka! I have to write in my diary to make me feel better.
Tenten walked over to her bed and looked under her pillow where her diary would be. Well, not this time.
"OMIGOSH!" Tenten screamed, "WHERE'S MY DIARY!"
Where Neji and Sakura are:
Sakura slowly handed Neji a pink book with a lock on it with "Nikki-chan" written on the cover. Who would have known. It's Tenten's diary!
The lock was already broken by Sakura, Neji took a look through the pages.
"Did you break into Tenten's house again?" Neji asked Sakura.
"Ummm…. Ha ha… it was something like that," Sakura said.
Neji read through the pages, looking bored at first. Finally started to laugh a little and muttered, "I remember that part…stupid Lee…" Wow. The diary seemed to really cheer up Neji, he kept on reading it for about 10 minutes.
"Hey Neji, you should take a look at this page," Sakura said as she flipped a few pages.
This is what it read:
Omaesan Nikki-chan,
I know you aren't a real person Nikki-chan, you're just a journal. But I like to write in you as if I'm talking to you. I keep on mentioning that I like a certain guy. You're probably getting suspicious of this certain guy. I won't mention who it is, and I won't give you hints. I'll just keep you wondering. I might not even tell the guy I like him. Ever. Well, I'll tell you for sure, it's not Lee. I hate him so badly, I wouldn't even go out on a date with him. Oh god, I feel this weird temptation to tell someone who I like. I might as well tell you. The person I like… is…
Neji looked at the next page, it was someone's name written in big letters, but Neji couldn't read it because it was all erased. Neji closed the book and gave it back to Sakura.
"No, you keep it Neji," Sakura said, "Just to give you a little piece of Tenten."
She handed it back to him and Neji put it in his kunai pouch.
"Why are you going though the trouble of breaking into Tenten's house just to get some journal?" Neji asked.
"Well… just to make up for that kiss, you probably hate me now," Sakura said, "Just take it. Since Tenten saw us, she probably doesn't like you. Maybe you should just go up and tell her, she'll probably like you"
"Feh… I think you might be doing this for a greater reason," Neji said, "Go away now, I have something important to do."
"Good bye!" Sakura said as she walked away.
Ok…that stupid Sakura just made me 10 minutes later then I should be. Oh well, I bet not that much happened, Neji thought. He ran over to the lake and saw Tenten and Lee there, not doing much but sitting at the bench and watching the sun set over the lake. Neji quickly hid behind a bush.
Lee attempted to hold hands with Tenten, but she just moved her hand (nice move). Lee put his arm around her, but she just moved away.
"You know what Tenten," Lee said as he got up.
"What is it, Lee?" Tenten asked him.
"How bout I go downtown to buy us a few drinks! Just to give us something to do! Wait right here!"
"Ok, whatever…"
Lee skipped over towards the exit of the lake.
"Get out Neji," Lee said, "Stalking us won't do you any good. You seriously need to find a better hiding spot if you're even going to try."
"Feh, I was trying to get you away from her," Neji said as he got up from his hiding place.
"You're such a loser, Neji," Lee said, starting to sound serious.
"What does Tenten see in you anyways, stupid dunce," Neji said.
"How about another fight?" Lee asked, "Who ever wins this one gets to continue the date with Tenten. Who ever loses must promise to never love Tenten. EVER."
Neji stood shocked. Never love Tenten? That's a stupid deal. Lee is defiantly going to lose.
Neji got in his fighting stance, confident that he would beat Lee like all the other times. Lee did the exact same.
"Are you sure you want to take this risk?" Lee asked Neji.
"I know you're going to lose Lee," Neji said.
"You wish."
"I bet you don't even love her as much as I do."
"How do you know? Just start the fight so we can decide who is worthy. Or better yet, why don't you just give up?"
"NEVER!"
…
Where Tenten is…
Geez... How long does it take for someone to go get a drink and back, Tenten thought to herself. She looked at the time. It was 9 o clock. Lee left to get the drinks 3 hours ago. Hum…. Some loyal boy, Tenten thought as she got up.
And without waiting for Lee any further, she walked home all by herself, crying along the way. Not about Lee. She was crying because she'd rather be with Neji.
The next day…
Tenten woke up early as usual and walked to the forest where her team was supposed to meet. Neji was always early, so she expected him to be there first.
Tenten slowly walked into the forest and there he was, sitting agents a rock, quietly waiting for someone to come.
"Umm… good morning Neji," Tenten said as she took a seat next to Neji.
"Hi," Neji said. He turned away, trying not to let Tenten see him, but then looked at her.
"You know Tenten… there's something I want to confess…" Neji said, as he approached her slowly.
"Ummm… yes Neji-kun?" Tenten said as she started blushing.
"I always loved you," Neji said as he got closer to her. Tenten blushed more.
"I love you too Neji…" Tenten said as she approached Neji. She could practically feel his breath until… their lips met and they kissed.
Oh yeah, she wished.
"GOOD MORNING TO YOU! GOOD MORNING TO YOU!" Sung Tenten's alarm clock.
"NEJI!" Tenten said as she jumped out of bed, heavily breathing. She hit her alarm clock, causing it to stop singing.
"Awww… all that was just a dream… " Tenten thought. She thought about the dream again and started to blush.
"Hmmm…what if that really happens today?" She also wondered. This made her excited to go to today's team meeting. She quickly got dressed and ran out the door of her house.
Tenten rushed to the forest, thinking about the dream once more.
"Ohh! I hope it happens," Tenten kept repeating in her head. Just the thought of it made her go faster.
Finally, Tenten reached the forest where her team always met, but Neji wasn't there. Just Lee and Gai. Aww man…
But Neji wasn't there.
"Hey, isn't Neji always early?" Tenten asked the two, "Well? Where is he?"
Gai looked down with a frown, but Lee really didn't seem to care.
"Neji is at the hospital," Gai slowly said, "Some punk beat him up, but it doesn't seem like any punk. He must have been really good. Neji shouldn't pick on so many fights."
The hospital? Tenten thought, Neji would never lose! How could he lose? So badly he's in the hospital? Oh my gosh!
Tenten rushed to the hospital, ignoring Gai's "Stop it right there!" calls. She was so worried about Neji.
"Where's the room Hyuuga Neji is in?" Tenten immediately asked once she reached the hospital.
"Room c1B239, on the third level," The lady at the front desk said.
"Thank you very much." And just like that, Tenten rushed up the stairs. The elevator would take forever.
"Room c1B239, level 3, room c1B239, level three! Don't forget it!" Tenten kept thinking to herself.
Finally, she reached the third level and ran through the halls, past the nurses, to room c1B239. Once she reached it, Tenten quickly swung open the door. There he was. Hyuuga Neji. Almost half dead, laying on a bed asleep with bandages all over his body.
She walked over to his bed and touched his face. It was so cold.
"Oh Neji!" Tenten cried, "How could I see you this way! Who could have done this to you!"
She started crying and tears landed on his forehead (oh, his forehead protector isn't on! Duh! The tears fell on that curse seal thingy, but I guess that doesn't mean anything).
So...yeah, Tenten continued to cry, until she starred at his face. She just now realized he looked peaceful when he was asleep, more then that, super adorable!
Tenten started to blush.
"Why am I getting this weird feeling that I want to kiss Neji?" Tenten thought as she started blushing more. "Oh well, he's not awake to see, and no one is around…so…"
Tenten bent down, just to give a little peck on Neji's lips. Just one…little…kiss…
"HELLO TENTEN!" Someone shouted.
"ACK!" Tenten screamed. She pulled herself away from Neji, just when she was about to kiss him, and turned around to see who is was. Oh geez. It was Lee.
"Why are you here, Lee?" Tenten asked Lee.
"I just came here to visit Neji!" Lee happily said, "And tell you about the mission we have to go and do right now!"
"Ok, fine, I'll be there," Tenten said, "Just go ahead."
"Whatever you say!" Lee said as he left the room.
Now back to what we were on!
"Ok," Tenten thought, "That was just a little distraction… Neji…he's so cute…."
Tenten bent down a little closer to Neji's lips, just a little more and she'd get there.
"Neji-san," Tenten said as she approached him. Neji's eyes slowly opened.
"Tenten?" Neji asked.
"EEKK! He's awake!" Tenten thought. She immediately ran out of the room, and rushed out of the hospital.
"Hmm….I thought I head someone say my name," Neji thought, "It sounded like Tenten…and it was really close…it sounded real… hmm… oh well."
Neji closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
