Chapter two:
"Um, Neji... We're going to Ichiraku, you coming?"
They looked up to Tenten who walked next to them. Hana, even though she didn't received any training could read the underneath even without her Byakugan. She looked in the eyes of the brown-haired girl and smiled...
Wonder, happiness, worry and... A sparkle?..
So she liked him.. Hana smiled to herself. For the eyes of Neji it has all been so clear yet he didn't read what he was right in front of him. He probably didn't even go after he found happiness, why would he? For girls, he thought, (probably of course), they would think of their love first- not the last. But she hid her feelings well, so she was afraid of his reaction of her feelings...
She noticed pair of eyes looking at her. She smiled at Neji and stand up.
"You go Neji, I have lots of things to do anyway..."
Tenten looked at her and smiled kindly.
"Would you not join us?"
Hana smiled back, closing her eyes.
"I would love to, but really I must go..."
With that, she waved the 'couple' goodbye and walked away...
"She's...good.." Tenten couldn't find the right adjective to name her. She thought that Hana was beautiful than her, attractive than her, interesting than her... No wonder Neji is close to her that much.. But she called her 'Neji-nii-san, is she his sister?
"Yeah.." Her thoughts were cut off by his words.
"Um..Neji?" Tenten couldn't stop herself from the curiousity that covered in her heart and mind.
"What?"
"Is she your sister?" -And why you never told us before?..
Neji looked at the comrade of his. The big pair of chocolate eyes that was actually leading him in a wonder each and every day he saw her.What was beneath those eyes, was the question he searched to find. How come he could only read what she wanted him to see. How come when he looked at her, even when she is crying -which was only once-, he only saw happiness reflecting back at him. Why was she happy for? What made her to smile inside...
For others, they could clearly see why. For Lee, he could even understand the 'why'. The reason for him to not seeing anything besides a smile. Lee knew Tenten. And Neji didn't.. No matter how hard he tried, he could never understand her -And it wasn't like he tried any way.. The reason was she was never unhappy around him.. Lee saw the sadness in her eyes. He knew how she looked when she was down, but Neji never did. Because whenever he reached up to her to ask how she is, she was just happy with the fact that he asked her how she is.. It was that simple. When Neji is around her, there was something which prevent her from being completely unhappy..
"Kind of..." Neji laughed at his answer, from the inside ofcourse.
"What do you mean?" She asked being more interested..
"Well, she is Hinata's sister." He answered at her.
"I didn't knew Hinata had a sister except Hanabi..."
"Hana is her twin. She was lost when she was four.." He explained to her..
Tenten looked at him and looked back at her feet, while she continued walking.
"Oh.."
Tenten knew the burden of being away from her family. She never had the support of any members of her family, she didn't even carried their name. She was out of their clan after they found out she didn't had the powers to accomplish the jutsus, even though that meant a 2 year old girl was given to another family. Sure, they loved her, take good care of her; they even do those now but after they told her that they weren't her real family, she found out the whole truth. Why she was given away and all... But that was when she was seven. Now everything was fine.
Her family, who adopted her, was a couple who can't had kids. That was why they loved Tenten like their own child and they still do. So is Tenten.. If her real mother came now, and asked her to go with her -which she wouldn't in a million years-, Tenten would refuse and stay with her second mother. Giving birth doesn't mean anything if you can't look after your child.
Ofcourse, it was no near with Hana's situation but the family resembled each other so well. The Hyuuga's never made any move to find her- if they did they would probably, so why? She shrugged. Asking Neji these questions would be probably insulting the Hyuuga's by saying 'You can't even find your daughter with your powers..'.. Thanks but no thanks, she didn't want any glare coming from him.
As they walked through the streets, soon they reached Ichiraku.
"HERE THEY ARE SENSEI!TENTEN WHAT TAKE YOU SO LONG?"
When Lee ran at them and yelled like they were both deaf Tenten was already walking to the table where Gai was sitting.
Team Gai, was once more together for that day... Even though it only last till they finished their ramen..
"Well, my beautiful students with flame of youth, I am very sorry but now I must leave."
"BUT...WHERE ARE YOU GOING SENSEI?" Lee protested. He wanted to spend more time with his father-like-figure sensei more.
"DON'T BE SAD LEE! I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW!"
"SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"SEN-"
Lee was shutted off with the smack of Tenten, who was sitting next to him, who was disturbed by the annoying yelling voice of her friend, who was -originally had hearing skills but lost those because of the overly high resonanced voice of the taijutsu master.
Neji only rolled his eyes.
Tenten realized.
Lee realized that Tenten realized..
Gai didn't realize anything because he already left.
But what the team Gai had was special... Although the triangle of friendship was really hard to understand. If you look really deep, the bond between each other was really strong.
Let's take Lee for example. Lee, had been the comrade of Tenten and Neji. It didn't matter if he disturbed both of them constantly, the three of them had been good friends- best friends since. Despise the fact that Neji and him being rivals, Lee and Neji often talk and understood each other. And Tenten was closer than a sister to Lee, she was someone -beside Sakura- he wanted to protect. Lee thought Neji didn't knew anything about what is going around him. He realized the kunoichi's interest in Hyuuga a lot while ago and he still didn't knew. Although, Lee wonder if he really didn't knew or was he just ignoring it? Either way, it was disturbing him but he knew he shouldn't mingle the things. Inside his loud looks, laid a understanding, calm and serious heart. And only team ten saw this 'that' clear.
Let's take Tenten for example. Tenten, had been the comrade of Lee and Neji. It didn't matter, the three of them had been good friends- best friends since. She thought Lee as her brother and Neji -well, she thought a lot about him. Lee was someone she would protect to death, like Lee would also. And Neji? Well, let's just say she hoped for any bond between the Hyuuga and her.
Let's take Neji for example. Neji, had been the comrade of Tenten and Lee. It didn't matter if he despised them, the three of them had been good friends -best friends since. Despise the fact that Lee and him being rivals, Lee and Neji often talk and understood eachother. And Tenten was more than a good friend to him. He thought of her that maybe she was the only one he could talk so close. In his heart, he felt the feelings he never felt before, he didn't even knew they existed. In his mind, he heard screams, telling him to stop, telling him 'this should not happen'. And everytime he feels like doing something stupid, like reaching her so close hand and holding it to never let go or feeling her lips which usually hunt his thoughts or just saying the words... He never knew the words power before, until he found himself couldn't saying them. Under his tough looks, when she approached he felt an unfamiliar beating. Ofcourse, no one will see-no one will know policy would go on. And also...Before he realized, he already catched the bond and hold on to it.
They really had a good team after all.
