KDZ: How come no one told me I posted the wrong chapter? Oh well, here's 9? HAHA! As I said has Tenten changed her teammate hating ways? Has Lee recovered from the squirrel incident? Has Neji learned how to read?
Disclaimer: If you guessed I don't own Naruto or that Steve Wonder Song, you win a cookie- but a half-eaten one…with raisins.
Attention: No Squirrels were harmed in the making of the story…Okay. Some died…but they got on my last nerve!
Driver's Ed: Naruto Style!
Chapter 9: Prince Charming
Some people wonder if their Prince Charming will come along the yellow brick road and whisk them away.
Take them away from everything that has done them wrong; protect them from anything that may hurt them.
This is not true. This is Tenten's realization of the sad, sad fact…
Tenten sighed as the kunai glistened in the sun making her look especially psychotic with a heavenly glow. She was confused, she would wonder about how her feelings were anymore.
She knew she hated them…her teammates…her teacher; they were evil. They treated her differently because she didn't have a special talent or something special about her and that was unfair- to her and the hundreds of boring people around the world who virtually have nothing to show.
Then why was she feeling this way…but she knew. There was just something about Neji.
The way when he jumped from a high place to the ground and his hair would just flay around like a shampoo commercial it was like- WHOOOSH!
It made her heart skip a beat- that can only be used figuratively because if her heart had skipped a beat that would mean she was developing an irregular heart beat and had to see a doctor ASAP but enough about the facts.
She never felt this way about a guy before, let alone about a guy that looked like a girl this was definitely something new- something sinister.
Tenten had a dream last night, like real girls that she was a princess. But, she was alone because no guy wanted a princess who was boring, they wanted adventuress like Sakura, they wanted beautiful like Ino, they wanted cool like Temari, they wanted creepy looking like Hinata, but boring? No. They didn't want her.
Now real Tenten didn't want to end up like dream Tenten who ended up alone by herself. She wanted a Prince…and that prince was just going to have to be Neji.
I mean there were many reasons why the other guys just wouldn't work. Naruto was too noisy. Sasuke was too bitchy. Shikamaru was too lazy. Chouji was too fat. Kiba's jacket was too ugly. Shino was too insecure about himself. Gaara was too young. Kankuro was too drag. Rock Lee was the enemy (He also wears spandex). There were just too many reasons but Neji didn't really have a secure one. So, he couldn't read. So, he looked like a girl. So, he wears all white.
He was just like her! Except the fact she COULD read and she wore color but she looked like a girl! Just like Neji! They had SO much in common and that is why he was chosen to be her Prince Charming.
Ever since last month when her brown eyes had met his pale ones in a hard gaze, she had felt a lump in her throat as if she had eaten a cat and it was trying to claw it's way out. Though Tenten would never have eaten a cat, it was against all her principals. She was a vegetarian, though no one knew that because no one really talked to her- now people talk to her but it's really just the Judge making sure she hasn't pulled any fast ones on them.
She hadn't. She didn't plan to either…all she had to do was win over the Hyuuga because she wasn't going to end up alone. Over her freaking dead body! Or someone else's dead body it didn't matter.
Tenten decided to plan the perfect way she could win him over. By singing him a ballad of her love…why? That was the perfect plan, was it not?
"Then he could SEE, just how right he is for MEEE" Tenten sang happily, as a dogs howled in the distance. Tenten knew she would just woo him over, and she WOULDN'T be alone. She just wouldn't!
Tenten's thoughts drifted away to the day on which she and his eyes had met in that loving, yet powerful gaze.
She remembered being bored out of her skull as Gai-Sensei had been telling his teammates on why green spandex was the way to go in an hour-long presentation, which had just finished. Things were going back to normal- or so it looked, Gai-Sensei had a determination to pretend that nothing had happened at the driving lessons. So, the only way things would go back to normal if they all started pretending they didn't see her.
She had looked around the room; Rock Lee was praising Gai-Sensei's choice in clothes…that was a bit odd since they wore the same outfit.
Her eye's had landed on Neji who instantly turned around, her honey brown eyes met with his pale ones.
Her eyes averted his hard gaze, which even though she didn't exactly have 360 freaking vision, she could still tell if someone was staring at her.
All girls have the gift; we were given that gift when Molesters started prowling around the streets, for the people who were born before they started to go around…let's just say, they didn't make it in the real world…
Anyways, back to the future!
Tenten would make him love her- because Tenten always had to take the hard road. That's the way it'll always be…
Tomorrow at 3 a.m. in the freaking morningTenten twitched violently as she stared at the microphone, she did that sometimes when she was nervous- she remembered how Gai-Sensei would take the to the park and scare little children with it but things weren't like that anymore…things were different now.
'Enough' Tenten thought to herself as she stared at the microphone anxiously as she grabbed it off its rack.
She dialed Neji's number fast into the phone as she waited for him to pick up, and then she heard a voice, it was angelic like harp's music.
"Rock Lee? What did I say about calling me 3 a.m. in the freaking morning?" Neji's voice growled.
Tenten took a deep breath and sang like she's never sang before, because that's what it sounded like, like a cat being tortured to sing at gunpoint, but Tenten would never do that. It was against her principles.
I just called to say, I love you
I just called to say how much I CAAAARE
I just called to say, I LOOOOOOOVE you
And I mean it! From the bottom of my heart!
"Gai-Sensei?" Neji said confused on the other side of the phone, "No! It's ME! Tenten!" Tenten cried out passionately.
"Tenten who?" Neji asked her, "its just Tenten…like Cher" Tenten said agitated.
Suddenly, Tenten heard yelling from the background.
"NEJI! What are you doing on the phone? What was the horrible sound?" Hiashi yelled at Neji.
"Were you singing? What did I say about singing in this house? This is the LAST STRAW, Neji Hyuuga," The voice barked at him.
"I WASN'T SINGING, I SWEAR!" Neji shrieked in horror, knowing his destiny. "You know what the punishment for singing is," the voice said in a deathly tone.
"No, Uncle!" Neji cried out, as Tenten heard a grunt as something she heard was pulled out of its socket. Tenten gasped in horror.
"NOT THE T.V. CORD" Neji wailed, "No more Laguna Beach for YOU" the voice said as Tenten heard a slam of a door on the other side of the phone.
Tenten hung up the phone as she placed it back gently on the thingy that holds phones. (KDZ: Hopefully you know what I mean)
She would have to apologize about the Laguna Beach tomorrow at practice.
KDZ: Ok, sorry about the mix-up and yes, I know you've already read chapter 10- so sorry about that.
