Not Like The Other Girls-
Chapter Two- A Devious Plan

There stood a boy that looked around the same age as Tenten with very distinctive pearly white eyes and long silky dark brown hair tied back neatly in a low ponytail. He was holding what appeared to be like a form filled in with his details.

"Tsunade-sama," He began, ignoring the other two girl's presence, and took a bow in respect, "I am here to hand in my enrolment form for the ninja academy."

Tenten took note on how smooth and matured his tone of voice sounded.

"Ok. Girls, please excuse us for a while."

Both Tenten and Sakura gave a curt nod in acknowledgement then headed towards the door. The boy stood aside to allow the girls to pass through and exit. Sakura passed without a second glance but as Tenten passed the brown-haired boy, she couldn't keep her eyes off his handsome face and how unique his eyes were. He could feel her gaze yet ignored it completely and didn't move a muscle in any kind of response.

The door closed softly with a 'click' behind Tenten.

The two girls stared at each other, then Tenten grinned suddenly and rushed towards the door and pressed her ears against it.

"What ARE you doing?" Sakura whispered.

"What's it look like I'm doing?" Tenten replied stating the obvious.

Sakura sighed before heading over and joining her friend in her eavesdropping.

"Hyuuga Neji. A descendant from the Hyuuga clan I assume?" Tsunade began as she examined the form before her.

"Hai, Tsunade-sama." The boy answered in a very sophisticated manner.

"Following in your father's foot steps as I can see." At the mention of the word 'father' there was a glint of emotion in the young Hyuuga's eyes, but it disappeared immediately before Tsunade could catch it.

"…"

When Tsunade received no response from the boy, she sighed in sympathy and continued.

"He was a great loss to us all, Neji." Neji just nodded in acknowledgement. His face, however, had remained expressionless, void of any emotion. Tsunade smiled at the boy.

"I'm sure you'll become a great shinobi just like your father was." She reassured the boy. Neji gave another bow in thanks for the reassurance.

"Hai Tsunade-sama. It was what my father and mother requested before they had met their unfortunate fate."

Outside, on the other side of the door, Tenten let out a silent gasp and pitied the boy.

He's just like me…an orphan…' Sakura caught Tenten's gaze and they both wore the same pitying expression for the poor young Hyuuga.

Tsunade scanned the rest of the form thoroughly, checking if all the spaces were filled in with the correct information, before smiling in satisfaction and pulled out a stamp from a drawer. She stamped the page and it left a red print with the word 'accepted' and then signed her signature to authorize the acceptance.

"Ok. That's it." Hope to see you at the academy's opening ceremony next week." Tsunade smiled at the Hyuuga boy and placed the form on top of a pile with the others. Neji bowed in respect and thanked the Gondaime in a formal manner, just like the other times. He knew that the Gondaime was of a high authority and paid respect to that fact.

Tenten took notes on what a boy had to do in order to enter the academy. Apparently the boys did not have to gain their parents' permissions for it did not require a signature, nor did they have to pass a survival exam to prove themselves worthy. This just made Tenten think how more unfair the system was to the female population.

Because Tenten was so lost and occupied in her thoughts, she did not hear the rest of the ending conversation or the approaching footsteps, so when the door suddenly swung open, she stumbled back a bit in shock but did not fall over. She wore a sheepish grin and rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment as she regained her composure. The Gondaime and the young Hyuuga boy just stared at her. Tsunade raised an eyebrow at her behavior as Neji decided to walk past Tenten, but paused in his movement when he was beside her.

"Don't eavesdrop on other people's conversations and mind your own business and not others." Neji spoke in a monotonous voice. His words were so cold and Tenten took some time to allow the words to sink in whist she stared dumbfoundedly at the boy.

After those 'words of advice', Neji continued his way without a second glance and Tenten, seeing what a stuck up egoistic bastard he was, decided to stick out her tongue at his facing back and stuck up her finger as well.

'Who does he think he is?' She thought as anger boiled up inside of her. Even though it was she who was doing wrong, he did not have the right to be so teme-like about it. (1) She began making faces and continued her immature behavior, assuming that the said Hyuuga boy was oblivious to her actions.

Neji paused suddenly in his step yet again, and tilted his head slightly to the side to glance at her over his shoulder.

Noticing this, Tenten ceased her actions immediately and turned around, looking to one side and scratching her head, pretending that nothing was happening and that she had done nothing.

Sakura just sweat-dropped at her friend's immature and somehow ridiculous behavior, whilst inner-Sakura was laughing hysterically.

"You may come back in girls." Tsunade called out. Tenten scurried into the office before the Hyuuga boy could question her motives and Sakura followed right after. At that spur of moment an idea struck Tenten's mind at how she could enter the academy.

Neji smirked as he continued his was towards the elevator and entered inside. He turned around just in time to catch the last glimpse of the brunette entering the Hokage's office. What that girl had just did, he had indeed seen, for he was the possessor of one of the famous bloodlines, the Byakugan. Little did she know that she had caught the Hyuuga prodigy's attention with her little immature 'act'. Usually girls would just glue their eyes to him whenever he walked past and stayed that way until he was out of sight. His cold words had never unfazed their 'fangirl' behaviors; in fact, they would've usually fainted if the Hyuuga had spoken to them directly in the slightest bit. But this girl, he did not manage to catch her name, though she had… intrigued him. The Hyuuga Neji, couldn't help but feel that the least bit attracted towards this girl for her unique personality. He was, what people would say, interested, in this chocolate-haired girl.

Unknowns to the said girl, Tenten, she had made herself a new admirer.

Tenten sneezed and rubbed her nose for the sudden reaction. Someone was certainly talking about her behind her back…or thinking about her.

"So Tenten, I'm sure you now understand why I cannot let you enter the academy." Tsunade began after a lecture about the responsibilities required from a respectful Konoha Kunoichi and possible risks and dangers involved.

"Yes Tsunade-sama. I understand perfectly." Tenten answered rather quickly, putting on a fake smile.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow. 'Didn't just before I saw the glowing determination in her eyes? Hmm…maybe her fiery spirit isn't as strong as I thought that it would be… Well, at least now I know that that she won't enter the academy.'

Tsunade glanced at the brunette who had an over-excited grin plastered on her features. Sakura smiled and sighed in relief at the fact that her friend was convinced to change her mind. That was all that she had came to do so now that its accomplished, she saw no more reason to stay and disturb the Gondaime any further.

"If there's nothing else Tsunade-sama, may we leave?" Sakura asked her shishou.(2)

Tenten just nodded in agreement and both girls put on their cutest puppy dog eyes at the Gondaime. Tsunade sweat-dropped at this and just simply nodded her head. The two girls bowed in respect and left the office.

As soon as the girls stepped out of the building, Tenten took a deep breath and the grin on her face grew wider as her plan began to fall into place in her mind. Sakura smiled in relief at the fact that Tsunade had changed Tenten's mind for now she could rest assured that her best friend was not putting her life on the line. She, being oblivious to Tenten's devious mind thought that Tenten had taken the deep breath in order to enjoy the fresh air outside of the building. Overall, Sakura was really glad that Tenten was not entering the academy. Her smile grew wider when the brunette grinned up at her, which made Sakura fell happy for her friend to be so unusually cheerful, even though she didn't' manage to get what she was after.
"Hey Tenten, I'm glad that you took that so well. You sure you're ok?" Sakura asked her friend with a caring smile.

Tenten, who thought that Sakura was referring tot eh issue about her parents earlier on, just grinned and nodded. (Don't you just LOVE misunderstandings? XD)

"Okay. Now I'll need your help in order for my plan to work." Tenten began.

"What plan?" Sakura asked with confusion written across her expression.

"My plan to enter the academy."

"WHAT!"

"Yeah, what I need you to do is--"

"Matte! I thought that you were convinced not to attend!"(3)

"What? Of course I'm going to attend!"

"But Tsunade-sama did not give you permission! How are you supposed to enroll at all?" Sakura winced when she saw a smirk spreading across Tenten's face.

"And that's where my plan comes in."

(1) teme- usually a suffix used by Naruto and means bastard.
(2) shishou- another name for teacher. Same meaning as 'sensei'.
(3) Matte- short for 'Chotto Matte' means 'wait' or 'wait a minute'.

TBC...
