Chapter 9--- Lonely Musician part 2

"Why are you doing this to me!" Neji demanded, on the grudge to kill Ino.

Ino stood quite for a second, then turned away.

"That would be something I can't tell you," Ino said. She stood up and walked away.

"But if you think you'll be going to Tenten's recital," Ino started, "I'll make sure she dies the next day."

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that," Neji said, "Tenten's recital should have ended by now. The concert is over. I'm going to bed."

And just like that, Neji walked past Ino to his room.

Ino looked at the floor as if she was about to cry. But she wiped her face before any tears fell out.

"Why is it that when two people are perfect for each other…" Ino whispered to her self, "they just can't be together…"

"DAMN THAT NEJI!" Tenten screamed as she punched a bunch of her stuffed teddy bears. She picked one up at threw it at the wall as hard as she could, without breaking it.

"Stupid Neji…" she said, "He's probably with Ino. He probably lied about ever loving me. This was all probably a joke just to make fun out of me."

She grabbed a Teddy bear and started hugging it. She dug her head into the bear and started to cry.

THUMP

A sound came from Tenten's window. A rock hit Tenten's window.

"It must be Neji again…" Tenten thought, "If he thinks I'm gonna run away with him, I'm gonna---"

"HOI! TENTEN! ARE YOU THERE! IT'S ME, ROCK LEE!" a fait voice yelled from outside.

"What? Lee?" Tenten thought, "What would he be doing here at an hour like this?"

Tenten quickly whipped the tears from her eyes and looked in the mirror to check if there were any signs of her crying. Then, she opened up her window and looked out side. And there was Lee, stupidly waving his arms hoping Tenten would notice him.

"What do you want, Lee?" Tenten yelled at Lee.

"Catch!" Lee said as he threw a rock into Tenten's room. The rock had a letter attached to it.

"Dear Tenten, I'm terribly sorry I couldn't come to your recital. But I'm no longer allowed to see you at all. The reason is something that I don't want to tell you. Just keep in mind that I still love you," Tenten read out loud to herself.

"That'll be 50 yen to respond!" Lee said, "Would you like to pay in cash… or cash? I prefer cash… And I'm giving you a discount just because you're my team mate! It's usually 60 yen!"

Tenten grined and took out a piece of paper.

After a few moments of Lee waiting outside, Tenten threw a rock with a letter attached to it.

"Try to get that letter to Neji before tomorrow morning," Tenten said.

"Ok! I'll get it to him right now!" Lee said. And with the blink of an eye, Lee was off.

"Neji…" Tenten said to herself, "I won't be able to see you as well…"

"Ok, my young pupils!" Gai started. It was just Gai, Lee and Neji. Usually Tenten would say something like "Stop calling us 'young', Gai-sensei". It was just empty without her.

"Psst, Lee," Neji whispered to Lee, "Did you give that letter to Tenten?"

"The first one, or the second one?" Lee asked.

"The second one, you idiot. The response to Tenten's letter."

"Hmmm…" Lee said with an un-easy tone, "Well, I knocked on her window, but she didn't answer. Then I looked through and she wasn't there. I waited for her, because I sorta figured she was in the bathroom or something, but she didn't come back to her room for hours."

Neji had a worried look on his face, but he believed nothing could have happened to Tenten.

"Then, she was probably watching TV in the living room," Neji said, "After this meeting, give the letter to Tenten. And knock on he door this time, not her window."

"Okie dokie, Neji-san!" Lee said.

Like Neji ordered, Lee went off to Tenten's house and knocked on the door. Tenten's mom answered the door.

"Konnichiwa, Ms…. Err…. Tenten's mom!" Lee cherrfully said, "Is Tenten available?"

"Tenten… umm… why don't you come inside, Lee?" Tenten's mom said. Lee walked inside and took a seat on the couch.

"WHAT?" Neji yelled at Lee the next day, "Tenten ran away!"

"That's what her mom told me!" Lee said, "She said that around midnight, she checked up on Tenten in her room and she wasn't there. And she hasn't been back until today for all I know!"

"Damnit…" Neji thought, "Wait a minute! Did Hiashi do something to Tenten!"

After that thought, Neji ran off from the team meeting.

"Hey! Just a minute there, Neji!" Gai yelled. But Neji kept on running.

"Tenten, you had BETTER not be dead…" Neji thought as he ran back to his house.
