Chapter 2: Neji's idea

I ran out of the bathroom and into my room. I quickly got dressed in my training outfit and sat on my bed with my back leaning on the headbored and the blanket brought up to my chin. I also made sure that i had my weapon's with me. I looked at the clock next to me. It was sitting on top of my dresser and behind it was a picture of team gai smiling. Well, Neji wasn't exactly smiling but he had a smirk on. 'Not bad for a starter' I thought. I looked back to the clock and it read 3:35 am.

'Now what am I going to do for two hours and twenty five minutes' I thought. A little chill went down my back and it made me shiver a bit. I shifted into a comfortable position and closed my eyes. And before you knew it, I dozed off.

5:57 am I slowly opened my eyes and just remembered what happened. I quickly turned my head to face the alarm clock and saw the time.

"OH MY GOD, I'M LATE" I screamed

I jumped out of bed and slipped on my sandels. I then headed for the front door. I passed the mirror in my room and noticed that I forgot to do my hair when I got out the shower.

"damn" I said "now Neji's gonna kill me." I went back in my room and started to do my hair in it's usual buns."there, done" I said as i put on my headband.

After that, I took a quick glance at the clock. 6:07 am." Now he's gonna kill me for sure". At that point, I left the house, making sureto lock the door and made my way to the training grounds.

Training Grounds

I finally made it to the training grounds. But, when I got there, noone was in sight. I crossed my arms in front of my chest and said to myself "Neji's not here. That's weird, he's never late. He probably got a mission and didn't tell me. Well, at least I'am safe. For now."

Then all of a sudden, I felt someone near by.
"wrong" was the cold reply.

"ahhh" I turned around quickly with a kunai in my hand. But, before I could even touch him, he grabbed my wrist.

"you're late" he said

"No, for real, I thought I was early" I said sarcastically "where were you?" My hands was on my hip as I continuosly tapped my foot on the floor.

He just stood there looking at me and finally said "I was obviously sitting on top of a tree branch waiting for someone to show up. But, apparently she was late. So you know what that means?" He asked me with his blank stare on me.

"What?" I asked as if I didn't know. He would probably bring the fighting level up a bit or something.

He keep his stoic figure and his face was expressionless. I knew something was wrong, I had a feeling. he then said "I'am adding another hour to our training sessions everytime your late."

"What?" I screamed "you can't do that. Then I'll probably go home at night like at 10 or 11 pm."

He still had his cold voice like he didn't even care about me. He then continued "You got a problem? The only way you can make me change my mind is if you can beat me. But, you know that that'll never happen."

I gritted my teeth with fustrastion and held my anger inside until we train.

"deal?" He said

"fine" I answered "One of these days I'm gonna win. You got that. One of these days Neji"

He just smirked with a look on his face saying 'yeah right, You'll never beat me'. He then backed up and went into his fighting stance."Ready"

I too backed up and positioned myself ready to take anything he throws at me. When I was ready, The fighting began.

After the match, We both sat down next to each other at a nearby tree to regain our energy. "I almost won" I complained "If you had'nt used you're kaiten, I would've had you down for the count"

I began pouring water on my hands and bringing it to my face."Almost" he said "but you could work on your CQC a bit."

"CQC, What's that?" I asked with a confused face on.

"You don't know nothing do you?"

"Hey, What's that supposed to mean?"

"Heh,CQC stands for close quarter combat" He looked at me and noticed I still had a confused face on. He let out a sigh and continued" In other words tenten, It means when you are close to your opponent, you have to use your fighting skills using only your hands. Not your weapons, get it?"

I looked at him dumfonded and asked "Then why do we use weapons?"

He glared at me like I was stupid."CQC is used when you run out of weapons and have nothing to protect yourself with."

"Oh. I get it." I said truthfully. I looked up at the sky and noticed it was getting dark. Then I just remembered something" the girl" I blurted out.

Neji looked at me and asked"what girl?"

I covered my mouth and turned to him." Nothing, just forget about it"

"Don't be stupid, you're hiding something. I know it"

"No i'm not. Believe me for once Neji"

"Tenten, you know you can't hide anything from me."he smirked and pointed to his eyes" I'll find out one way or the other"

I was stuck. IfI do tell him, he'll think that I'm just imagning things and ifI don't tell him, he'll eventually find out by using his byakugan anyway. Guess I'll have to tell him, right?

"Fine" I said" But promise me you won't laugh or tell anyone or give me stupid remarks. Alright?"

"Fine" he simply said

I told him about everything from the part when this wierd gut started chasing me to the whole mirror incident. After I was done, he started asking me questions.

"are you sure you were'nt hullucinating?" neji started

"No I'm positive"

"Did you see the girl's face?"

"Not really, I only saw her dark brown eye's, the room was pretty dark. All I saw on her was her worn out clothing"

"So that's why you were late most of the week?"

"Yea. Sorry 'bout that."

"You told anyone else?"

"No"

"Why"

"Because, they think I'm probably crazy" I told him

"Do you know what village you where in exactly?" He continued questioning.

"It looks kind of like ours except it got old houses and it was deserted. She was the only one I found."

"What was the girl's name?"

I thought for a moment and I realized that I didn't ask her for her name." Don't know" I answered truthfully.

"Then why are you gonna take the girl?"

"Because," I practically screamed" She can't be in a room where two people, probably her parents, were lying dead on the other side of the room with blood pouring out of them. That's wrong. She was crying asking for help. I can't just leave her."

Neji just looked at me and asked "So, you're gonna help her?"

"I don't know what to do, but neji, she felt so real like she was next to me and I could just grab her"

"Who's the guy in the cape?"

"Don't know" I said sounding tired of answering questions.

"How does he know you?"

"No more questions and I don't know how he knows my name."

"Hold on, one more question"

I sighed and said" What Neji?"

"Why in the world would you take a bath in the middle of the night anyway?"

I rolled my eyes at his question and answered" To kill time, I was bored."

"Why could'nt you just watch t.v. or read a book or something. But a bath."He then smirked and continued "you are crazy."

"Enough" I screamed out. "No more questions." I then got up from the forest floor. It was dark out but not that dark. You could still walk home though.

Neji got up after me and asked another question, again. "Now what are you going to do?"

"Go home, I guess" I said as I shurgged my shoulders. I then turned to look at him" Or are we we still training? You said I have to work on my CQC."

"No, not today. We'll do it tomarrow. I got some problems to fix at home." He explained

" Okay" I said with happiness in my voice" Guess I'll see you tomarrow then, Thanks"

I turned to walk away when neji put his hand on my shoulder and spun me around to face him." Wait. Your going home alone?"

I was staring blankly into his pearl white eyes." Guess so. or are you going to walk me home?" I asked.

" No. Why don't you get the girl's to stay at your place tonight so you won't have to think about any girl" He said as he too locked on to my eyes.

I let out a little giggle and said" You mean like a sleepover or a get together?"

"Yea, whatever you want to call it." He let go of me and turned around.

A smile automatically went on my face" Alright. Your a genius, you know that. But why help me?"

Neji gave a soft sigh and answered" Maybe because your my team mate and I don't want you to be late tomarrow for training." neji then turned around to face me and asked" You do know what happens when your late, right?"

"Yea, Don't remind me" I put a smile on and streached for a bit.He then turned around and started to leave.

"Goodnight, Neji." I screamed so he could hear me. He put up his left hand to know he was listening "Thanks by the way!" I then turned around and ran to the direction of my house.
