Helloo everyone! This is my first one shot…it's quite short…and I think I got a few things out of order… oh well, please read and review! I know I didn't finish my other story yet (The Hyuugarazzi), but I just got funny ideas in me head… o.O Like this…

Once Before… Memories…Tenten remembered the time when she first told Hyuuga Neji that she loved him. It had hurt. He looked at her as if love didn't mean anything to him at all…and then he asked her to train with him later that day. She went along with him, even though his reaction had stung.
You don't believe me do you?
When I pour out my heart to your face?
No…that's not it…
A while later, she realized why he was the way he was. His father's death, the Cursed Seal, the Head family, and the Branch…they had all added up and had made him into this person he was today. She didn't exactly dislike this person…just every so often, she wished he wouldn't be so very blunt with things.
The truth is that you don't care,
Because you can't
You've locked your emotions away in a chest,
Stored them someplace no one else knows of…
A year later, Tenten was preparing for a vacation. Neji had walked into her room, uninvited. He saw the suitcases, personal belongings, and open drawers and had asked her what she was doing. I'm leaving soon…she had said. He had nodded, and walked out…
But at last, when the time came for her to board her craft, he had shown up, grabbed her by the hand, and said, I don't want you to leave. She could see he was confused. His eyes were softer than usual…they were sad. Then she had told that she was only going on vacation. I'm coming back you know…His face had turned slightly red. Hyuuga Neji was embarrassed…She had smiled at him, and gave him a hug goodbye. He hesitantly returned it.
Someday, somehow, I'll find that chest,
And open it up.
Tenten knew that after she came back from her little trip, everything between them would be nearly the same once more. She didn't care too much though. She knew now that he felt something towards her. If only he'd admit it… And maybe, just maybe, her predictions would be wrong, and he would greet her as she stepped onto the familiar Konoha earth again.
He'd tell her that he did love her after all…
Yes, there'll be pain,
But happiness will come too…and so will love…She could only hope that he would.
You don't believe me do you?
When I pour out my heart to your face?
No…that's not it…
The truth is that you don't care,
Because you can't
You've locked your emotions away in a chest,
Stored them someplace no one else knows of…
Someday, somehow, I'll find that chest,
And open it up.
Yes, there'll be pain,
But happiness will come too…and so will love…
So you'll be no longer a cold statue,
No longer unfeeling to those around you,
The way you were,
Once Before.
