Hiroki smiled and approached her "It's been a long time, Ten-chan"
Chapter II – Jealousy Rising
Tenten stared at the man in front of her "Hiroki-kun, i-is that really you?"
Hiroki stroked her hair, which made Neji's eye twitch. It seemed like his glare to Hiroki was trying to say 'get-your-dirty-hands-away-from-my-Tenten'
"Yeah…"
Tenten blushed. Hiroki had grown a lot. He became more handsome. His smile can melt your heart in seconds. She thought of him an itsy bitsy more handsome than Neji.
"Oh yeah, I've formed a band and well… we're kinda good"
Tenten raised a brow "Oh?"
'I bet he's terrible' Neji rolled his eyes
He smirked. He took his guitar and started playing
"There's nothing I won't try
Just to make you mine
To get a little closer
Would be so divine
And every time I see you
You make me come undone
I always watch you near me
In you I found the one
Oh, why don't you smile my only star?
Shine on baby
Smile, my only star smile
With you by my side
Girl it feels so right
And now that I'm close to you
I could stay all night
No matter where I go
No matter what I do
In the end your smile brings me back to you
You shine so true
I can't believe you're mine
And everything may change
But to me you'll always shine"
Tenten blushed but still managed not to stutter "SUGOI! Sugoi, Hiroki-kun!"
Neji's left eye twitched when Tenten used the suffix '-kun' to Hiroki's name 'Why did she say 'Hiroki-kun'? She never called me 'Neji-kun'! She never praises the way I sing! Oh, wait, I never sing in public…'
Neji continued to glare at Hiroki who doesn't seem to notice this. The swearing in Neji's mind continued at Hiroki continued their little 'chat'. Neji felt invisible to the two. He felt a little jealous…. Okay he's REALLY jealous of Hiroki. Of course, he can't say that or else the reputation he worked so hard to build will slowly shatter
"Tenten," Neji called out "you still need to train" 'With me…' Neji added in his thoughts
"Oh yea! Gomen, Hiroki-kun but I still need to train"
Hiroki smiled "It's alright, Ten-chan. But, can you come to the show of my band this night?" he asked
'No she can't. She's staying with me'
That was Neji
"Sure!" exclaimed Tenten "Then maybe you can go to Sakura's slumber party"
"Alright, cya later, Tenten….. Neji"
"Bye!"
"Hn…" said Neji 'I hope you die soon!'
After a few hours of training, they finally finished. Even though Neji's mind is pretty full, he still managed to beat Tenten. It was almost a tie if Neji didn't block Tenten's last batch weapons
"I'm getting stronger, aren't I?" asked Tenten childishly
"Hn… whatever"
Tenten quickly got her bag "Neji, I'm going to the show of Hiroki-kun's band"
"I'll come too" Neji immediately said 'I'm not letting you go with him ALONE anywhere'
"Sure… whatever"
After some while, they finally reached Ultra Grandstand. They actually could've come earlier if a certain Hyuuga wouldn't constantly mutter some curses for some odd reason
At the entrance of the bar, the manager of Hiroki's band greeted them
"Hello, you must be Tenten. I'm Y-Aphorism's manager, Minami Hachiko" greeted the blue-haired girl who is surprisingly the same age as them since she wore such formal clothes
"Hi! I'm Tenten and this is my friend, Hyuuga Neji" she pointed at the long-haired boy at her side
'Friend….? I'm only a friend?' Neji thought to himself
"Well, nice to meet you both of you. Anyway, you came just in time. The band's just about to play" she leaded them inside and to a reasonable spot
"Oh… hey, is Hiroki-kun the lead singer?" she asked quite childishly
"Yes… and he has quite some fans" the blue-haired girl pointed to the throng of young girls wearing t-shirts saying 'I luv Hiroki'.
Tenten sweatdropped and mentally cursed the girls in her evil, twisted, dark mind. She stopped when she heard the introduction for Hiroki's band
"Now, ladies and…. More ladies, the band you have been waiting for is now playing. I here now present to you… Y-Aphorism!"
The band stepped in and started playing
"Come a little closer
Flicker in flight
We'll have about an inch space
But I'm here I can breathe in
What you breathe out
Let me know if I'm doing this right
Let me know if my grip's too tight
Let me know if I can stay all of my life
Let me know if dreams can come true
Let me know if this one's yours too
'Cause I see it (oh…)
And I feel it
Right here
And I feel you right here
The vacuous night
Steps aside to give meaning
To Gemini's dreaming
The moon on it's back
And the seemingly
Veiled room's lit
By the same star
Let me know if I'm doing this right
Let me know if my grip's too tight
Let me know if I can stay all of my life
Let me know if dreams can come true
Let me know if this one's yours too
And I feel it right here
And I feel you right here……………
Oooh ooh ooh …"
Tenten nudged Neji and whispered "It seems like he's singing for me"
Neji huffed "Yeah right"
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE applauded after the band sung. The fan girls squealed Hiroki's name, Tenten blushed a little but still clapped, and Neji clapped but only once then glared at Hiroki who didn't see it. It became silent again when the band was going to play another song
"That song was Gemini. I dedicate that song for that girl over there" Hiroki smiled at Tenten's direction
The fan girls glared at Tenten, Neji glared at Hiroki, and Tenten gazed at Hiroki, both of them were blushing. Only, Tenten was blushing harder
'Damn you, Hiroki! DIEEEEEEEEE!' Neji thought while clenching his fists and giving him his famous death glare
