Dreaming Alone
-Neji-
Rain falling…so hard it hurts. Pelted by the drops that stream into my eyes. My cruel demeanor melts as I watch her face crumple into obliv-
Neji suddenly started and shook himself, as a dog would when it's trying to rid its ears of water. Did I…fall asleep? No. He was awake, but… That was an interesting dream…er, daydream. He stood up and brushed off his clothes.
The Hyuga prodigy began to slowly walk back to his house as the air grew chillier. I can't believe this. I could've been training all that time, but no. I had to go and daydream again…
-Tenten-
Rain falling, gently, soothingly. Washed by the drops that stream into my eyes. My heart melts as I watch his face soften into a smil-
Tenten gasped and stood up quickly as a twig snapped. She waited a few seconds, but there was nothing to be heard except for the birds twittering. The kunoichi sighed and began the long trek back to her house.
For as long as she could remember, Tenten had always had this "secret spot" of hers. It was a little grove made of overhanging pine branches. She had discreetly laced strands of vines entwined with tiny pink flowers through the needles; it was a tiny paradise.
Tenten smiled as Hyuga Neji played on her lips. I can't believe this. Gai-sensei told me to work on my taijutsu, but no. I went to go daydream again…
-Neji-
For as long as he could remember, he had avoided the other children of the village. Hyuga Neji was a god—the other kids didn't even begin to apprehend his level. He was unreachable, untouchable, and somehow, he had become unnoticed.
He was lonely.
He needed her.

-Tenten-
For as long as she could remember, she had been avoided by the other children of the village. Tenten was a disgrace; a little no-name from nowhere. She was dirty, disliked, and somehow, slightly different.
She was lonely.
She needed him.

Neji walked up the road, silently cursing the gods that it must rain.
Tenten sat in the cherry blossom tree, tears camouflaged by the pouring, pounding rivulets that fell from the sky.

Neji swallowed, feeling his cheeks heat up as he stared at the lone figure surrounded by pink flowers. Can I really do it? Can I tell her how I feel?
Tenten saw someone in the distance, but couldn't make it out. Darn this mist! Wait...Neji?No not now! I-if you come... I might tell you! Tellyou...how I really feel...!

-Dreaming Alone-
Neji saw her in his dreams. Tenten saw him in her dreams.
But they must go on… not together, but alone.
They must go on dreaming alone.
