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."
