A/N okay so since the Lee part last chapter was confusing, rushed, yadda yadda, I'm rewriting it!
"Hello?" I called, still wondering why I even came here in the first place when I was headed for Neji's apartment.
"Hello to you too!" I turned around and screamed, surprised.
"Uh… who are you?" I asked
He grinned and –almost- blinded me with his shining white teeth. "I am Rock Lee! Otherwise known as… The Matchmaker!"
I wobbled a bit out of shock. This guy was the legendary matchmaker? If it wasn't for self control I would have burst out laughing.
"Er… well I better go" I said, turning to leave.
"Wait! Wouldn't a youthful blossom such as yourself want her perfect match to be made?" he asked enthusiastically. I shrugged and let him lead me to the back where there was a table with a crystal ball on it and some tarot cards strewn all over. I scoffed, I don't believe in this mumbo jumbo!
"Now, let me see…" he faced me and took out a paper and pencil from who knows where. "What is your name?"
"Couldn't you just use that crystal ball thing to find out?" I asked. He laughed.
"This is just for decoration!"
I laughed. Whoever this Lee guy was, he was pretty funny. "Well my name is Tenten-"
After a short period of time of talking to Lee, I remembered why I had left my house in the first place and shot up from my chair.
"Oh! I have to go…" I said sadly "I'll see you later Lee" I waved goodbye and he jumped up.
"Wait I forgot to tell you who you're destined to be with!" he yelled. In a rush, I waved goodbye as I rushed out the door.
-.-.-.-.-
I chuckled, watching Tenten clamber out the door. Pulling out my cell phone, I snuck out the back door, avoiding all the "customers".
"Sasuke, I'm back!"
"Lee! How was Boston?"
"It was good, but I'm happy to be back here!"
"Well you have to come over! Neji will be happy to see you again"
"So how is everyone?"
"Everyone's good though Neji has been happier than usual today…"
"Is it the girl?"
"Probably"
"I met her today actually, she left just now. Neji is one lucky guy"

Into A Wall
-o-o-o-o-
"Neji, open up, I need to talk to you!" I pounded on his door and continued to pant, it wasn't everyday that you went running all over New York nonstop.
"Tenten?" I ran in through doorway and jumped into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Tenten, what's wrong?"
"I…" I looked up at his face and blushed crimson. So what if we both said the kiss was a mistake? It was still making me a nervous wreck around him, taking a deep breath I continued. "Two months"
"What are you-"
"I have to go back in two months" I felt him pull me closer to his body and I let out a sigh, for some reason I was strangely calm.
"Two months?"
"Well… before two months"
-x-x-x-x-
She looked up at me and I looked forward, at the wall behind us. My eyes narrowed slightly.
"Neji, what's wrong?" I twitched and this didn't go unnoticed by Tenten. Lifting her chin up with one hand, I made her look into my eyes. Her eyes fluttered shut and her face paled a bit.
"Tenten?" I put my forehead against hers and I swore put loud, apparently she hadn't recovered from her fever. I carried her to my bed and lay her on it, covering her shaking body with the comforter. I sighed, there was nothing more I could do so I headed to the living room to wait until she woke up.
--
No
No
No
I threw the remote to the other side of the couch and stared at the blank screen.
There was nothing on.
Sighing, I got up and walked quietly into the bedroom to check on Tenten. I sat down on the bed when I saw her with her eyes shut. She shifted a bit and turned her front to me, her eyes still closed. I got up quickly, not wanting to wake her and headed for the door to get water for her flushed face. As soon as I opened it, I felt a warm hand on mine. I turned back to see Tenten with half lidded eyes. She pushed my hand forward so the door shut and I spun around, meeting her eyes with mine.
"Tenten go back to bed, you're sick" she shook her head and pressed herself against me, I backed up and my back hit the door. She put her head against my chest and breathed deeply. She wobbled a bit, off balance and fell to the ground on her knees. I bent down to pull her back up but she slammed me against the door.
"Tenten, what are you doing?"
"Neji" she breathed out my name "don't go"
I scrambled for something to pull myself up with but instead turned on the radio with the remote that was on the dresser. Tenten pulled my hands down to her waist and wrapped them around her torso.
"Neji… I have a question"
Hoping to make her listen to me, I nodded, urging her to go on. She neared her face to mine.
"What are you so afraid of?" She smiled weakly and backed her face away from mine.
"I'm not afraid of anything" I replied, she laughed.
"Don't give me that, now tell me"
"I'm… afraid of losing you… even though I know that it will be inevitable and you'll have to leave and…"
"Neji… you won't lose me" she whispered. I noticed her eyes fluttering; she was fighting sleep right now.
"And here's a song requested by one of our listeners. Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer. Enjoy"
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly beside the green green grass
Swing, swing, swing that spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress
Oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling so kiss me
"Ne-ji, you can have me… we have two months… until I go… just… I need you" she smiled. "So take me. Take all of me"
'She's delirious, that's all! She's delirious!' I thought, trying to calm myself.
"That kiss from before…" she licked her lips "was no accident. Both you and I wanted it. So come on, you only live once… so let's screw it up right. You have no reason to be afraid"
Kiss me down by the broken treehouse
Swing me up on its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked down your father's map
Oh kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand strike up the band and makes the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling so kiss me
"It wasn't a moment of weakness" she continued "I liked it. I wanted it…"
kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling so kiss me
"And…" she grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled my face closer to hers. She inched her face to mine and hovered about about two inches over my lips "I know you feel the same way. So don't be afraid… I'm not" I shivered upon feeling her breath on my begging lips. What was happening to me?
"And most of all… I want you. Neji… I'm gonna miss you. But for now… let's both live… no regrets."
So kiss me
So kiss me
She was now a centimeter over my lips, barely touching them.
"So kiss me"
And as the last chords of the song were struck, I sealed the space between our lips.
And kiss her I did.

Two Days Later
-o-o-o-o-
"So the economy is equal to a pile of horse crap, there are starving children in the world, and here we are, wasting away our lives in Tenten's apartment with a shit load of alcohol"
"Well Naruto, I guess that's one way to put it" Temari said.
"Well the only way to get you here was to intoxicate you a bit" Shikamaru replied, pouring himself a glass.
"Bah, I just had to think for a while Tenten, don't be offended at my sudden leaving" Temari slurred. I shrugged and looked at the crowded room around me. Sasuke was sitting in an armchair with Sakura in his lap, Naruto and his girlfriend Hinata were curled up together on the sofa, and Temari and Shikamaru were on the floor in front of trhe coffee table which was currently hidden by bottles of alcohol from who knows where. I turned to my right and saw Neji staring at me from his chair next to mine. I blushed and continued typing on my laptop. I found what I was looking for and turned back to Neji who nodded and held my hand.
"C'mon…" I clicked the link "DAMN IT!"
"Tenten what's wrong?" Temari asked, a bit tipsy.
"The only available flight back to Princeton before two months time" I swore and swallowed "is in three weeks" Neji's eyes narrowed and he punched the wall closest to him with his free hand.
"More bad news after the other huh Tenten?" he said, eyes flashing with every negative emotion. I nodded sadly and wrapped my arms around him, he returned the gesture and everyone watched us.
The couple with no future.
