Neji
was with TenTen eating in a small restaurant on the corner near the
local park. Over his shoulder he could see Naruto successfully
woo-ing Hinata. "It's always nice to spend time together... as
friends... right Neji?" Neji forcefully faked a smile.
"Yeah..."
His voice was low and emotionless. TenTen could tell something was
wrong. Sweat was beiginning to bead on his face. TenTen's brow
furrowed. Neji was hurdling himself into depression. He couldn't keep
thoughts of Kiba and Sakura out of his mind, as well as Naruto and
Hinata. Perhaps he wasn't destined for romance like them. Maybe
TenTen wasn't right for him. But then why would he feel this way. He
really did want to spend more time with TenTen. Neji pushed his chair
out and stood up. His eyes narrowed as he looked at TenTen. His eyes
looked distressed and forlorn. He turned his back to her "I'm
sorry..." He ran out of the restaurant, pushing those in his way
to the side. TenTen sat baffled, biting her lip to the point at which
he ripped the skin and drops of blood ran down her chin, splashing
onto the floor where Neji had been standing just a minute ago. He
stood outside of the restaurant with his fists clenched. "She
doesn't want me... and I don't want her either!"
"What
about me, tough guy"? Temari was looking at Neji, seductively
biting her lip. Her fingers played with the zipper on the side of her
skirt. Her eyes teased him.
"Get
away from me Temari. I want to avoid TenTen simply for her own good."
He crossed his arms. Temari looked at him, "Well call me when
you get lonely waiting for her to crawl to you" She blew him a
kiss and walked away with her hands on her hips. TenTen, who had
heard the entire conversation, now walked out of the resteraunt.
"TenTen!" Neji gasped.
"Shut
up." She grasped the straps that dangled on the side of his
headband and tugged his head in toward her's. Her lips attached to
his and they kissed passionately amidst the crowd. The ice-blue full
moon that loomed over head glistened on them. It seemed like an
eternity before TenTen loosened her grips on the straps of his head
band and drew back a few inches. She blushed, "Neji..."
Neji smiled and thought, "Well I guess her good can take me."
