A Kunai In Bloom
"I hope Neji is okay now." Tenten muttered to herself that night while she laid sprawled out on her light pink bed sheets. The breeze was lightly blowing into her room from the outside and she deeply inhaled and sighed. She soon got an idea and grabbed her phone that was laying on the floor at the time. She picked it up, dialed a few numbers and waited while the phone rang.
"Hello, is Lee there?"
"This is he." Lee answered from the other end. He sounded happier.
"Lee, it's Tenten. I was just calling to see if you were ok now. Please tell me that Neji came and apologized."
"Oh yeah, he did. It's all ok now Tenten. Hey it's still early, you want to try and hang out again?" Lee asked.
"Sure, come on over and I'll call Neji."
"Alright. See you in a bit. Bye." Lee hung up, Tenten did too and then picked up the phone again to call Neji. It rang for awhile until someone finally answered.
"Hello?" a voice from the other end asked."
"Neji?" Tenten asked.
"This is he. What's going on Tenten?"
" I heard you apologized to Lee and he was going to come over for a bit and hang out again, do you want to come?" she asked.
"No, I can't right now, Tenten. I promised my uncle I would help Hinata train tonight."
"Isn't it kinda late for training?"
"It's only 7:30 and my Uncle says it's to help her if she's ever on a mission at night."
"Oh…well, what are you doing tomorrow?"
"Training Hinata again, but only until noon. After that, nothing." he said.
"Would you like to go do something after you train?" Tenten asked hopefully.
"Sure, I'll call you after I'm done training. But right now I got to go, bye."
"Bye." Tenten said and heard that he had hung up. She hung up the phone and heard a soft knock on the door. She ran down the stairs and opened the door for Lee. They went up to her room.
"So where's Neji? He lives closer than I do to you." Lee asked.
"He can't come. His Uncle is making him train Hinata tonight, so it's just us." Tenten said a little disappointed that Neji couldn't come. "We can do that gossiping that you wanted to do."
"Okay." Lee said happily, and no it wasn't cause he liked to spread rumors, it was because he liked to know secrets that his teammates kept hidden from him, of course he had a few of his own. "So, Tenten, tell me a secret, something know one else knows." Lee said smiling.
"Something that no one knows? I'm pretty much an open book Lee. But I can tell you something about me."
"Okay." Lee said, really excited now.
"Okay, well if you couldn't tell, my favorite color is pink." she said sarcastically as Lee looked around her almost all pink room.
"Oh come on Tenten! That's not a secret. Tell me a romantic kind of secret." Lee said, he loved knowing about a blooming romance.
"Well I thought Sasuke was cute when I first saw him but I also thought he was stuck up and rude to Neji. And honestly there's nothing attractive about being a snob." She said.
"Who do you like now?" Lee asked as he sat on her bed.
"No one, Lee. But I know who you like, let's talk about that."
"Ah Sakura is a goddess sent from heaven isn't she? I think my favorite thing about her is her gorgeous green eyes, I could look at them forever. And her hair is like the color of the blush that crosses my cheeks every time I glance her way." Lee sighed dreamily.
"Must be nice." Tenten said smiling as she watched Lee go off to daydream land.
"What's nice?" Lee asked.
"To like someone the way you do. To be so in love with a single person that you know that they're the one for you." Tenten sighed.
"Well it could happen to you too, Tenten. I mean , you really are a very nice girl, your strong and smart and very pretty. And I mean that as a friend, just so you know, no woman will ever make me forget about Sakura." Lee said, fire in his eyes again. Tenten giggled, he was just trying to help. "Well it could Tenten. Isn't there someone that makes you feel all fuzzy inside?" Lee asked again.
"…" Tenten didn't respond.
"Ohhhh so there is someone!" Lee said in a sing song voice. "Who, who!" again Tenten didn't answer, but there was an evident blush on her cheeks.
"Is it me?" Lee asked pointing to himself.
"No Lee." she laughed.
"Just making sure." he said reassuring her that he wasn't implying anything. "So is it Sasuke after all?"
"No."
"Are you going to tell me if I'm right?" Lee said, hands on his hips.
"Yes, I will. Keep listing." Tenten blushed, she had thought about liking Neji for awhile now. She wasn't sure if it was just a crush or if he was the one for her. She thought he was handsome, smart, had great hair if she did say so herself, and although he wasn't much of a talker, she thought maybe he would open up more if he was given the chance.
"Kiba?"
"Too dog-like."
"Shikamaru?"
"Too lazy."
"Shino?"
"I don't like bugs that much."
"Naruto?"
"Too loud and obnoxious."
"Chouji?"
"Is too focused on eating."
"Well we already established that it's not me or Sasuke, and the only other person I can think of is Neji." Lee realized what he said and smiled devilishly.
"Neji?" Lee said and Tenten blushed.
"…" Tenten didn't answer but she blushed harder.
"Well?" Lee said pushing it.
"Yes.." said very quietly.
"What was that?" Lee asked, a hand held up to his ear.
"Yes." Tenten said in her normal voice. She blushed furiously.
"Well this is great Tenten! You should tell Neji right away!" Lee exclaimed.
"No Lee! I don't want him to know just yet."
"Well when are you going to tell him?"
"I dunno, but I'm going out with him tomorrow afternoon." She banged her head against the wall lightly. Lee smiled.
"Well, if your going out on a date, then you have to dress nice for one." Lee said.
"Lee, it's not an official date."
"It doesn't matter, we'll "wow" Neji with your looks. Now where is your closet?"
"Over there." She said pointing. Lee opened the doors and looked around and finally found something near the back. He pulled it out and held it up. It was a very light pink sundress, nothing fancy, just a plain sundress.
"This is what you'll wear tomorrow." Lee said smiling
Well what did you think? Will Tenten wear a dress tomorrow for the date? Well you'll find out next chapter. And I know this is an "M" rated story so for all of you people that can't wait for that, well I promise, it is coming so just be patient. Leave a comment and tell me what you think. I'll be updating later so until then…
