Prologue
------------
This young kunoichi was given the unique title, the weapon mistress. The young girl's skills have improved greatly and achieved the Jounin rank with no sweat. Tenten, now a Jounin at the age of sixteen, faces life along with her fellow team mates; Neji, Lee and of course Gai Sensei. Most of the other teams back when they were genins were made to split up, but with them, it was some sort of special case. Tsunade decided that their team was one of the most efficient and well balanced and decided them to maintain their positions until further notice. But after a long period of time, they still stayed as team mates and were happy with the way it was.
Lee and Gai, who were the wild green beasts of Konoha, never really changed and are as close as ever. To Tenten, Lee was a really good friend, almost like a brother. Well, as for Gai, he was just the best weird and wacky sensei a girl could hope for. With Lee and Gai put together, you could never find a more perfect pair. Gai still used the term "Springtime of Youth". It never gets old does it? They have those occasional sudden hugs, and they shout out each other's names a lot, but that was just the typical Lee and Gai.
Well, her feelings for the Hyuuga prodigy were completely different and unexplainable compared to her feelings towards the green beasts. To be honest, she had a small crush on him back when they were genin. In fact, probably up until now, she had some sort of special feelings towards the Hyuuga. Although, right now, she was discouraged since she was turned down back then, two years ago to be exact. It made her feel weak and completely heart broken. But Tenten was a strong girl, different from the others like Sakura. She patched herself up pretty quickly, she was used to hardships.
But even though her feelings weren't returned back then, she secretly still feels the same way. But somehow, she thinks that Neji might just think of her as a team mate, or possibly a good friend, but nothing more. It was true, one time she had a small crush on Uchiha Sasuke, but that little feeling soon disappeared and she realized they weren't real feelings for him. It was different for her though, when she met Neji, the second she saw him when they were still in the academy, she immediately fell in love with him. For a while, it was partly because of his looks and his great achievements. But ever since they were put together as a team, she began to think differently and really like him for the way he was. She just wished, her feelings would be returned as well, or at least recognized in the smallest way.

The Hyuuga prodigy, he has possession of the bloodline limit Byakugan. He is Hyuuga Neji. He was called a prodigy, even a genius. The Hyuuga prodigy, The Hyuuga genius, he liked those titles, but never paid too much attention to them anyway. His talents and skills were sought out after many others, and who wouldn't? His skills and technique were very evident in every battle, and even in training. Ever since they were genin, Neji was put together with the strangest group. Well, maybe it was only Lee and Gai. Tenten was one of the normal ones. Also, Tenten was usually her sparring mate, they trained together up until the end of the day. They were team mates after all.
Neji was cold, distant, serious, and don't forget his cool attitude which made the girls go wild back in the days. He never bothered to give complete answers at times and usually answered with 'Hn' or 'Mn', which other people thought contributed to his attitude. He never really gave a care to his personal feelings, or even cared about having a girlfriend. Although, after his fight with Uzumaki Naruto in the Chuunin exams, he started to soften up a little, but it didn't affect him too much. He was still serious, and seem emotionless, but he had a soft side somewhere.
Neji remembered that day when they were genins, Tenten had confessed her feelings for him. He was shocked, that was one true fact. But he simply declined and muttered a small 'Hn' and walked away from the Hyuuga compound. He remembered he left her in tears that day, he still wondered about that memory. Did he really hurt her that much? Also, starting from that point, he began to think about Tenten more often, and schedule more training sessions. But he remained the same, he never showed any feelings towards Tenten, he only thought of her as a team mate. Who knows, his feelings back then could change. They were older now, a trio of sixteen year-olds. Will the Hyuuga genius' shell crack open?
------------
Now, regarding Tenten's confession, even now that they're older, and her confession was still way back when they were genin, she still holds that same feelings, even though she tries to hold them back. But now, her main goal might not be to win Neji's affection, but of course she'd like that. If there was one thing she'd like to change about the Hyuuga genius would be that certain habit he has been carrying over these long years. Surely his 'hn' and 'mn' was getting a little old. So, will Tenten be able to break the habit? Or will she get more than what she expects?

A/N Yeah, not much to write about, I know. It's just the prologue! I'm wreking my brain right now for a decent summary, the one up now could just be temporary. I hope this fic goes well. It's my first Naruto fic, and it's a NejiTen by the way. XDDD
