More than Friends
Summary: Tenten's out to find true love. Tired of hearing her best friend, Hyuga Neji, talk about how easy it is to get a girl. Tenten says she can find someone special before he ever could. Neji doesn't know the first thing about love-all he knows about are hormones. It's about two best friends, Tenten and Hyuga Neji, who throughout their friendship have been mistaken for being in a not-so-platonic relationship. Then in the end they realize that there is something special about their friendship. Pairings: mostly Nejiten and at the end Sasu/Saku and maybe Shika/Ino.

Chapter 1
"What? Are you kidding me? You're gonna lose for sure dumbass… You, Neji, the biggest jerk in Konoha high fall in love? That's bullshit man.. Give up already!"
"Oh man... not you too Sasuke… What makes you think I can't find someone special and fall in love? You're my good friend, you're supposed to be on my side and help me win this" exclaimed Neji while they were walking along thehalls to their next class. All the girls were looking seductively at both of them much to the displeasure of the other guys.
"Looking good Neji! How about a date this weekend?" purred a hot blond junior whom Neji dated before. She batted her eyelashes at him, hoping that he'll fall for her charm again.
"Thanks for asking Rachel, but I'd rather not. I have better use of my time than going out with a dumb blond." With that, he walked off leaving behind the disappointed and sulking blond.
"That proves it. First, you're a jerk. And second, you've dated like every girl in this school except Tenten, and that wide forehead nerd Sakura. Third, you're a jerk, good girls dont date jerks." smirked Sasuke.
"Speak for yourself, you're a jerk too. Yeah yeah, wait and see, I'll find someone, probably one of those new exchange students or something. I heard that they are hot! Plus they dont know anything about me. Come on, we're late for class." replied Neji.
"Whatever, just leave some hot chicks for me. Who cares about class anyway, Kakashi is always late. He's probably somewhere reading his perv book again" replied Sasuke.
"Let's just go..."
Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji are seniors in Konoha high and they are the most popular guys in the school. They earned the reputation as jerks who change their girlfriends every week. But you must admit that both of them are very handsome that no girls could resist their charms. Neji was tall, toned and has dark brown hair and the most charming smile ever. Sasuke was also tall with a well worked out body to die for and gorgeous onyx eyes. They were what every guy want to be and every girl's dream boyfriends.
On the girl's side…
Tenten isn't a very popular girl. She isn't ugly but isn't very pretty either. Her beautiful hazel eyes are always hidden behind that large black spectacles of hers and she doesn't care much about her appearance. Her face is make-up free and she is sort of tom boyish. Her good friend Sakura always tells her that more guys would take notice of her if only she would take better care of her appearance. Sakura herself is another gorgeous girl if she doesn't hide her pretty face with her long fringe and bookworm spectacles. Plus she's really clever too, a future doctor wannabe.
"Oh my god! You actually made a bet like this?" shrieked Sakura.
"Yeah, what's wrong? I'm winning it." replied Tenten casually.
"But… Neji has like more experience than you do! And oohh, he is hot!" giggled Sakura. She had this long time crush on Neji since freshman year.
"Stop that dreamy look on your face! Come on, I know you're taken in by his looks but he's just not boyfriend material. He doesn't know anything about love."
"Yeah…but he's so cute!"said Sakura dreamily with hearts in her eyes.
True, Tenten can't compare the number of dates she had before with Neji. She only went out with 2 guys before and they were both good for nothings. She isn't very experience in this sort of relationship thingy and she is the type who doesn't go for school dances or participate in school events while Neji is the total opposite. She wondered why they were even good friends since they are so different from each other. While she was deep in her thoughts, Sakura suddenly poked her and squealed. Tenten looked up and saw her best friend and Sasuke approaching them.
"Look who's here, the wide forehead nerd!" smirked Sasuke.
"Oh did I hear an ice block speak?" retorted Sakura glaring at her enemy.
"Why you stupid…"
"Oh stop it you two!" exclaimed Neji and Tenten at the same time before Sasuke could finish his sentence.
"Can't you two ever stop quarrelling the moment you meet each other?" laughed Tenten.
"NO, she/he started it!" said Sasuke and Sakura together.
"Woah, you two are singing the same tune." Said Neji
"Shut up! Its none of your business." Said Sasuke and Sakura red in the face.
"Oh my, I would think you two like each other or something. You're always saying the same thing! Maybe you guys should just date and make out and…." grinned Tenten. Before she could finish her sentence…Both of them turned pink and started shouting at the same time. All heads were now turned towards the four of them.
"WHAT? I'll Never ever date a nerd like her/I'll never ever date an ice block like him!" screamed the victims.
Both of them then stormed off in opposite directions dragging their friends with them. Neji and Tenten tried to disperse the crowd surrounding them.
"Well, I'll talk to you tonight Tenten!" shouted Neji over the corridor full of students.
"Yeah sure!" answered Tenten as she was being pulled away by the very peeved Sakura.
On the girl's side…
"Why do you always pick a fight with Sasuke?" asked Tenten
"DON'T…don't talk to me right now. I'm so pissed off. And what's that stupid idea of yours of us dating! And I cant believe you actually have a crush on his brother! They're all of the same type! Annoying gits!" shrieked Sakura into Tenten's ears.
"Ow..I think you blew my ear drums off… Haha, hey who knows gal, anything could happen! The more you hate the person, the more likely you two will cross paths. And hey don't pull me into this ok." said Tenten. "Itachi is a much nicer guy than his brother. At least he's not a flirt..or at least I think he's not..." added Tenten.
Sakura glared at her friend and walked angrily to their next class.
On the guy's side…
"What's up with you and Sakura?" questioned Neji.
"Nothing! There is nothing between us. I hate her, she hates me. We'll never date each other!"
"Cool it, I was just asking. You don't have to get so agitated or else I might think there is really something between both of you." sniggered Neji.
Sasuke scowled at his friend and started beating the crap out of him…
Later that night…
"Hey Tenten. Channel 64, your favourite show. Hurry."
"Ok, hang on a second." replied Tenten as she ran down to her den and switched on the television. "You know Neji, I really love this movie a lot. Its so romantic!"
Neji and Tenten did this very often, talking to each other on the phone while watching the television. Every now and then, they would give some comments to each other about the film. After 2 hours, the movie ended and Neji could hear Tenten sniffling on the other side of the phone.
"Oh come on, how many times have you watched this already and you still cry? Get over it!"
"Hey you can't blame me. I'm that emotional whenever I watch sad movies. I just can't stop crying every time Danny dies in the movie." sobbed Tenten.
"Alright alright, I get it…So, have you found your special someone yet?"
"No, have you?"
"Unfortunately, no… Its only the first day. But I'm sure I will tomorrow. I heard there's going to be a new exchange student in my English class. I hope she's hot." smirked Neji.
"Yeah yeah… don't count on it." yawned Tenten. "Hey I'm kinda sleepy now, I'll see you in school tomorrow ok?"
"Ok, good night Tenten, sweet dreams."
"Night Hyuga"
That night, Tenten had a really sweet dream. She dreamt that her crush, Sasuke's brother Itachi, asked her to the prom. They were having such a good time dancing and chatting. Itachi then brought her to a secret garden and it was really beautiful there, all the pretty flowers and mini waterfalls. It was such a romantic place.
"Tenten, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen…and I love you!" whispered Itachi into her ears.
Tenten blushed and they were about to kiss when "RING!", her alarm clock rang…
Tenten tumbled off her bed in shock and muttered curses under her breath. She dragged herself off the floor to get ready for a new day…..
Well, that's it for now! Please read and review! I hope it isn't too boring with all the dialogues. The 2nd chapter will be the part when both of them start going out with their "special one".
