"Good" Then the real ten-ten got back to washing. With the speed of both of them they finally finished in three hours. Ten-ten walked around admiring her and Neji's work. "I think it looks" ten-ten smiled. Neji nodded.
"I think we should celebrate! Let's go get some ice cream!" Ten-ten smiled. Neji again thought it was so weird to watch himself smile like ten-ten. "Sure, why not?" Ten-ten went over to Neji and out of the kunai pouch she pulled out some money. "I always keep money hidden in there, now let's go" Ten-ten ran out into the hall way. Then he heard her shout "Hey Neji, Where's your front door?" Neji sweat dropped, she always asked that when she came over.
"I'll show you ten-ten" He disappeared into the hall way. Neji and ten-ten made it out the door. "Maybe we should take Hinata?" Ten-ten asked. "She won't be able to leave" wow, Neji's family is complicated "Okay, then hurry up I'll race you to the ice cream shop down the street!" then ten-ten took off. Wow Neji's body is fast. Neji didn't even run he just sat walked. When he got to the ice shop he saw him self with his hand on his hip. "About time!" ten-ten said when he finally got there. "Take your hand off you hip, guys don't do that" Ten-ten giggled at the thought of Neji doing that. "Oh yeah I forgot, what flavor ice cream do you want?" "I don't know you pick" "okay" Then ten-ten ran up to order.
Neji took a seat on a bench. Ten-ten came back with two ice cream cones. "Here Neji I got you vanilla" and she handed him the cone. Ten-ten sat down next to him and ate her ice cream. Neji started eating his too. They ate in quietly, except for ten-ten humming. They both finished and ten-ten stood up. "What do you want to do now?" Neji stood up too. "Train?" "Sure let's go to the training grounds." She started in the direction of the grounds. Neji followed her.
They got there and ten-ten pulled out a knife. "Hey wait ten-ten how you summon your weapons and stuff!" Neji asked. "Oh yeah, Well I don't remember. I can try to teach you my twin rising dragons?" She said. "Sure, oh and here are the hand signs to do Byakugan" Neji did some quick hands signs. Ten-ten tried to copy them. "Wait show me again" Neji did them slower. Ten-ten did it perfectly this time, the veins around her eyes started to bulge. "Wow, this is awesome!" ten-ten looked around. "Now you show me how to do your twin dragon thing" Ten-ten took to scrolls out of one of Neji's pockets, and put them in his hands. "Twirl them like this" She did an Imation of it. Neji did then he tripped over a scroll and landed on his face.
Ten-ten giggled, then she held out a hand to help Neji up. He used it to get up. "Okay, never mind that. I can fight without those scrolls." Neji rolled them up and stuck them back in the pocket. "I'll just help you fight like a Hyuuga" ten-ten nodded. "First Focus the chakra to your hands" Ten-ten did so. Neji held out his hand. "You see all that blue lines?" she nodded. This was fun, no wonder Neji liked training. He let his hand drop. "All you have to do is poke them" Ten-ten nodded. "Okay let's start" Ten-ten said getting in a Neji fighting stance. Neji got out a knife and his fighting stance matched hers.
Ten-ten was the first to move. Neji blocked all her blows. He didn't even need weapons. Ten-ten thought for a second while dodge Neji's blows. All she had to do was hit the chakra flows, he didn't need weapons but she did. She took out a sheikin and aimed it at the chakra flow. "That won't work it has to have charka" Ten-ten then threw a fist. Neji again blocked it. This went on for along time, till dark.
"Hey Neji, it's getting late. We should head home" Ten-ten could see him nodded in the dark. She had turned the Byakugan off. "Wait I just want to try that twin dragon one more time." Neji said taking out the scrolls. He twirled them, but he stepped foreword and had stepped on the paper which he pulled at. He fell face forward, but ten-ten was in front of him.
He had landed straight on ten-ten, pressing there faces together. He quickly got up. "Um… sorry" Ten-ten got up wiping her mouth. "Yeah, um… see you tomorrow." Ten-ten started walking away, both a little red. "Wait ten-ten" ten-ten turned around. "The Hyuuga house is that way" Ten-ten giggled, she forgot she was Neji for a second. "Oh yeah thanks" She started walking toward Neji's house. Neji watched her leave.
He walked toward ten-ten's small house. "That was weird, I think I just kissed myself" He whispered and started walking faster. He reached Ten-ten's house. Her mom was in the Kitchen. "Ten-ten dear, you were out late" He heard her say from the kitchen door way. "I was training with Te-Neji" ten-ten's mom giggled. "Well your dinner is on the table" Neji looked at the table. He was a little hungry. So he sat down and ate quickly and ran up stairs. He lay on ten-ten's soft fluffy bed. He wondered how Kiba and Hinata were doing. He thought about ten-ten's dairy. HE shouldn't have read it. But does he like ten-ten back? He never really agreed with himself on that. He had no time for silly little feelings. Something inside him disagreed.
He wondered what else Ten-ten wrote about him. He walked over to the dresser, and pulled out the book. He brought it over to the bed. He looked at, should he read it? He slowly opened to a random page.. It was dated July 3rd, his birthday.
Dear dairy,
Today was Neji's birthday. That afternoon I took him to the park to do some early fireworks, his birthday was close to the forth of July. One of them tipped over and started shooting fire every where. One went straight at me, but Neji saved me! It was so awesome! Yeah it was dark but I think I saw him blush. That's a sign right, Ino said it was. I go to the flower shop to often! Well after that I gave him his present. I had worked hard for it all week. I did everything to earn money, even waking up at six to walk Kiba's dog. I also did tons of chores! Oh yeah I also had to feed Shino's bugs, it was so yucky. Well it was another one of that jacket he always wears. I asked Hinata where he gets them from and she gave me the place. This one was brand new, I think he liked it. Well he said thanks; I think that means he likes it. He needed a new one any way. I don't think he noticed but inside the right sleeve it said to Neji, the greatest ninja, from your friend ten-ten. I forgot to tell him and it's written real small. Only the best for Neji! I got to go it's late at night.
Neji's the best,
Ten-ten
Neji folded the right sleeve of his jacket, He saw in little gold writing what ten-ten had written. He actually smiled. He gave ten-ten enough credit for the stuff she did. Tomorrow he'll start the conversation. He put the book away, and lay back on the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
