Dare To Dream
"Why?"
His question hung in the air.
Chocolate orbs flick up to meet his own.
"My life was perfect. Was. I had you as a teammate. A good sensei. Good friends."
"Life is never perfect." His remark is met with a cool look from his companion.
"That's what I found out."
Silence settled for a few moments.
"I'm a kunoichi. Of course, Fate's also a bitch and is out to get me. That's the worst possible combination."
"…since when were you concerned about fate?" He raises his eyebrows. "…Tenten,"
His comment was ignored. "I was living a dream. And then…" Her sentence is left unfinished.
"And then…?"
She smiles with no trace of happiness behind it. "I woke up, Neji."
