Chapter 8--- Lonely Musician

THUMP!

That was a sound that Tenten heard. It was coming from her bed room window.

Tenten grouchly got up from her bed and walked towards her window. Her hair was down, and all messy, but she didn't mind. THUMP!

That was a sound that Tenten heard. It was coming from her bed room window.

Tenten grouchly got up from her bed and walked towards her window. Her hair was down, and all messy, but she didn't mind.

She opened her window, and guess who was there? Neji!

"Pssst! Tenten!" Neji whispered from out side.

"Huh? Neji?" Tenten asked in joy.

"Don't make too much noise, or Ino will figure out I'm here!" Neji whispered.

"Oh, sorry…"

"Ok, look. I'm thinking of a plan, maybe we can run away from here and get married! If my uncle figures out I married you, he'll defiantly kill me. So, we'll marry in secret!"

"Yes! That's the perfect plan!" Tenten whispered, "When are you planning to for us to run away?"

"I was thinking… tonight?" Neji asked, "Why, do you have any plans?"

"Neji! My violin concert is tomorrow!" Tenten said, "I have to go to it, it'll be the only solo I ever had!"

"Fine, fine," Neji said, "I know how important the violin is to you. How about we run away tomorrow night. I'll be at your house by midnight, be ready!"

"And promise you'll see my concert?" Tenten asked. She trew down a ticket and Neji caught it. When Neji caught it, he noticed a string was wrapped around the ticket with a heart bead on it.

"If you wear that string as a bracelet," Tenten began, "It's just a token of your promise."

Neji grinned and tied on the string.

"I promise, I'd do anything o see your concert."

And after Neji said that phrase, he ran off.

Once Neji arrived at his home, he snuck into the house, as quietly as he could. He passed the living room and then click! The lights went on.

"And just where were you this late?" said a voice from the shadows. It was Ino.

"Perhaps, you visited Tenten?" She continued.

"Damnit…" Neji whispered, then he stared to run off, but when he ran into his room and locked it, Ino was there.

"I know that Tenten's violin recital is tomorrow," Ino said, "And you're going to sneak out of the house to see it."

"Don't you DARE do anything to hurt Tenten!" Neji fiercely said. He was about to take out a kunai and stab Ino, but that would just do more damage to Tenten.

"If you EVER see Tenten again, I swear, your uncle will KILL her," Ino said.

(What? Kill Tenten? For just visiting her? That's insane!) Neji thought. But he had no choice. His uncle was clearly stronger then him and he couldn't do anything about it. So, Neji got down on his knees.

"Just… don't hurt Tenten," He said. Neji looked down at his arm and noticed the string that Tenten gave him, the token of promise.

"I'm so sorry, Tenten." He whispered.

"Very good," Ino said.

The days had passed, and Tenten was egarly waiting for the night, when she and him would run away and get married. Ahh… it was so romantic.

But it was time for her recital! The time where she could prove to Konoha her greatness of the violin!

Tenten was waiting back stage for all the other orchestras to finish their songs. She was going to play last.

"Um," Tenten asked the stage manager, "Is it ok if I take a peep at the audience, just to see if someone is here."

"No prob," The stage manager said.

Tenten took a glance at the audience. The ticket she gave him was supposed to assign him a seat in the balcony, but she couldn't find him anywhere.

"Don't be late, Neji," Tenten whispered.

And… I'll just stop the chapter here, just for the temptation! Yes, I PROMISE I'll update tomorrow! I swear! This story is getting interesting and I don't wanna stop it here! So, yeah! I SWEAR!
