Chapter 1

10 years ago…

"Neji! Come on over!" exclaimed a little brunette standing at her doorway. Neji's eyes sparkled with joy at the voice, which belonged to an angel who lived next door. Ten ten was eight, 2 years younger than he is. They were the best playmates and the closest companions. He was tempted to go over but his uncles' firm hand on his shoulder prevented him from doing so. His uncle beckoned him to hurry into the house .He turned one last glance at the girl next door and looked into her chocolate brown eyes as his only comfort.

Hyuga Neji is the nephew of the wealthy business tycoon, Hyuga Hiashi. His father died when he was a little boy and he was raised by his uncle. His uncle has 2 daughters; however he felt that the family business would be better in the hands of his genius nephew. Furthermore, Neji's 2 cousins left with their mother after his uncle and aunt divorced due to the fact that his uncle was always busy with work and has no time for his family. Hiashi was always on long business trips, leaving Neji always alone in their huge mansion with many servants. But fortunately, there was this special girl next door who had a special place in his heart. She was Ten ten, daughter of yet another rich businessman, Kenji. They belonged in the same neighborhood that housed the wealthiest people in the country. The older Hyuga was not too happy about his nephew's friendship with his archenemy's daughter. His aim was to keep Neji in the house at all times and to train him to be shrewd businessperson, in order to succeed Hyuga Cooperation. Ten ten, on the other hand, was a pleasant girl to be with. She was fun-loving, bubbly, friendly, loving, caring and innocent. She was totally unaware that she was an heiress of a multi-million dollar dot. com company.

Hiashi was going on another business trip and bid Neji goodbye. Unknown to them, another party was watching this scene, she is none other than Tenten. She hid behind the bushes that separated the two houses, she was glad that that awful uncle of Neji was going away. This meant that Neji and her could play again just like before. Hiashi got into his limousine and sped away. Tenten could hardly contain her excitement and jumped out of the bushes and embraced Neji. He hugged her back as he truly missed her during his uncles' stay.

Just then, Hiashi's limousine came back and when he stepped out of it, he was greeted by the public display of affection of his nephew and that girl! He was outraged at his nephew's disobedience!

"Neji! Come here at once, you are coming with me to America, away from that that thing!" shouted Hiashi. Neji was caught in between; he did not know who to listen to. Tenten was tugging tightly at his sleeve with anger in her eyes directed at his uncle. His uncle was certainly furious and dead serious about what he said. He had no choice but to release Tenten's grip and walk reluctantly to his uncle. But before doing that, he hugged Tenten tightly and told her not to forget him. Hiashi smiled triumphally at the little girl and pushed Neji in. Neji mouthed a silent apology at her and a single tear slipped down his cheek. Then Tenten knew that her dearest Neji will not be around her for some time. Tenten just stood there and stared at Neji's trail before breaking down sobbing uncontrollably.

10 years later…

Tenten was well-known for being Kenji's perfect daughter. She had everything-brains, looks and riches. Although she was only a teenager, she knew a lot more than any average 18 year old. She is about to finish high school and head for the prestigious Harvard University. Kenji was exceedingly proud of her and her countless achievements. This would show that scumbag, Hyuga Hiashi that the picture not only contained his intelligent nephew but also his equally smart daughter.

"Tenten dear, can I see you in the study now?" Kenji made it sound more like an order than a question. Tenten picked up pace and hurried to the study, leaving what she was currently doing. She was surprised as her father had never sounded this serious before and something must have been wrong.

"Is something wrong, Daddy?" she enquired. Kenji looked up from his study to find Tenten's flushed face staring intently at him, waiting for answers. He knew it was time for Tenten to experience the competitive working world out there.

Kenji replied, this time more casual," Tenten, I am growing old and soon the corporation will need new blood to replace the old. You are my only child and my beloved and I only wish the best for you. I have to tell you something now that you are of suitable age, you are the successor of was appalled, she had never heard her father talk about his company before and furthermore, the very first time she hears about is her succeeding the company. She hardly knew what to do after receiving the information. After all, she was only 18 and only heading for university two weeks later.

"This means, after your graduation, you are to be the new CEO of Kenji continued breaking Tenten 's thoughts. "I know it has been your dream to study law in Harvard and eventually become a lawyer, but we all take things one at a time, we take things as the come and as they go. Tenten, I have never ordered you before in your whole life and I love you dearly, I would never hurt my little girl. So, can I ask of you to drop law and study Business and Marketing instead?"

The impact on Tenten was like a bomb being released and finally exploded, she was speechless. She just continued to stare into air and absorb what her dearest father had said. Law was her passion, her life, her ambition was to be a lawyer but now it seems she was fated to do business.

Kenji knew that it was hard for his daughter to make this decision but for the sake of the corporation, he had to. Suddenly, Tenten replied " Daddy, can I think about this rationally before I get back to you?"

"But Tenten, you are bound to be in the business trade and you are unable to make your own choice. Time for you to absorb, I will give you but not time for you to think of rejecting the title I bestowed on you. Do you see the picture, Tenten? This is your fate and although you are shocked and unwilling to accept, you have to! " Kenji retorted.

Tenten still stood there motionless. Thoughts ran through her mind like a bullet train. Somehow, she finally accepted the fact and consoled herself with the fact that interest in business can be built up and it was only right for her as the only child to succeed the family's business. Kenji comforted her by going over and hugging her tightly. Later that night, Tenten cried herself to sleep.

2 weeks later….

"Are you sure you don't want us to see you off at the airport, dear?" asked Rukia, Tenten 's mother.

"Yes, I am very sure that I don't want to see your tears and mushy words." joked Tenten. Rukia's tears were already visible. Tenten did not want her parents there as she could not bear their tears and knew that she herself would cry too. She loved her parents dearly and could not bear to leave them but goodbye for now was a must. Soon, it was time to leave for the airport. Tenten clutched her suitcase and walked towards the door. Kenji and Rukia trailed behind. At the door, Tenten hugged her mother tightly and kissed her. Then, did the same for her Dad but while hugging she whispered " I love you, Dad." Kenji now knew that Tenten did not blame him for everything. Tenten took one last look at them, told them that she will write often and left. In the car, she pulled down the window and tried to memorize every single feature of her house before saying to herself "Harvard, here I come!"

On the plane…..

"Hello, passengers of flight 474 heading for Boston, this is your captain speaking. We have now reached the airport and we hope that you had a pleasant trip. My crew and I would like to thank you for flying with United Airlines."

Tenten was awaken by the announcement over the PA. She shifted comfortably at her seat to smooth the creases on her blouse. (Finally, I'm going to start university and I promise to do Daddy proud.) With that thought she smiled and left the plane with the smiling stewards and stewardess waving at her.

At Harvard University….

Tenten walked around the campus with big, gleaming eyes that were curious about her surroundings. Unknown to her, almost all the male varsity students were staring at her, admiring her beauty. Although tired, Tenten made a gorgeous sight, she was a vision of loveliness as her brown hair swayed as she walked, her long slender legs taken every step like an angel, her brown eyes looking around the campus. It was only her first day at school and already she attracted the attention of the male students.

"Wow, so this is why I would be at for 4 years!" exclaimed Tenten. She was eager to settle in quickly, make friends and get over the four years quickly so that she could help her father out soon. After all, filial piety was very important to her and she intended to repay her parents' kindness by helping in their business.

Suddenly, she heard screams, shrieks and footsteps rushing in her direction. She wondered what the commotion was about as she turned her head to see. There were many girls, probably students who were holding presents and flowers and running towards her. She was surprised and quickly stood out of the way in fear of being trampled over. She was curious to know what made the girls so excited. Tenten looked on and saw a young man with jet-black hair, and chiseled good looks that were to die for. He was wearing an Armani suit and looked so professional. He had gorgeous lilac eyes and handsome features. Now, Tenten knew why were the girls in such a frenzy. Tenten thought he looked like someone she knew. All of a sudden something struck her, the eyes! Neji, yes, Neji, her childhood playmate was the handsome stranger. And Tenten could hardly believe her ears when one of the girls cried out "Neji!" .So, Neji was here, right in front of her! Tenten was happy yet at a loss of what to do. She had always dreamt of Neji , together with her happily but she knew that his uncle would not be pleased to see her and Tenten had hated that old man for taking him away for so long. She wanted so much to go up to him and tell him how much she had missed him. But, on the other hand, she was afraid that Neji had changed and it was too much for her to bear. Like a flash of lightning, she decided that it would be better if she went to acknowledge him after graduating. Then, she would be prepared, mentally and spiritually.

Tenten then walked away sadly with a tear flowing down her porcelain face.

1 week had passed and Tenten now knew why Neji had appeared in the campus. It seems that Neji, being the genius he is, graduated at 20 and was an ex-student here and had always visited the campus frequently. He was the top student and most eligible bachelor in school. And till now, even after graduation, he still attracts the attention of single female students and is very popular with them, much to the dismay of present male students. Tenten herself is amused by the fact that her dearest Neji has become like a woman-magnet. She has to admit that Neji is truly very handsome.

Meanwhile at Hyuga Corporation…

"Neji, dear boy why have you been?", Hiashi asked his nephew.

"Oh, uncle, as usual to the campus, trying to hook some female who is crazy about me", Neji joked. "Actually, I do miss the campus and I really miss being a student, the girls there are overly enthusiastic about me, surprisingly. They are just little girls whom enjoy my company". Neji thought of his only close companion, Tenten whom he left when he was ten. Thinking about it, he realized that he missed her and wanted to see her again but pushed that thought back as he knew it was impossible.

"Neji, do you know that you are on the cover of another business magazine? I'm really proud of your achievements and the whole world seem to think the same of you", Hiashi remarked. Neji just smiled at his uncles' boast. He knew that in 4 years time he is going to take over from his uncle to be the new CEO of Hyuga' Cooperation.

So, that's it for now! Thank you for reading! Please leave me a review so that I know how I'm doing!
