OK! Heheh time for another chapterrr!
I know I made some mistakes. I'm a lazy ass… but I swear ima start editing!
Forgive and forget? Ok!
--GET UP! GET UP! GET UP! DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT— Tenten's alarm clock rang playing the Simple plan- shut up chorus but with different lyrics.
Tenten was never an early bird but today she didn't give a damn, she was totally ok with it! Why? Because…
"WHOOOT its FRIIIIIIIDAYYYY!" she swung her arms in the air, "that's righhhht, just gotta endure one more stupid school day before total relaxation"
She slashed her covers aside and slid stylishly into her washroom. She brushed her teeth, cleaned her tongue (everyone forgets), took off her PJ's and took a nice cool shower.
Pinned her hair up into two buns, one on each side of her head and said--
"Ahhhhh I feel all squeaky clean" she alleged as she stuck her pinky into her ear.
"And what shall I wear to this glorious day, in which I will soon adieu that hell hole for two joyous tear-shedding days?" she half rhetorically questioned herself.
"Hmm… whatever" she said picking a summer peach shirt and a grey baggy pants by Jacob.
Tenten left her room and jumped down the stairs hauling a huge grin on her face and entered the kitchen where she encountered her patents.
"let me guess…it's a Friday" said her father
"got that right" she beamed, "pass some o' those eggs over here mom!"
"I will… just as soon as you use some manners" her mother replied.
"Jeesh you're a classic mother… PLEAAAASEE" Tenten exaggerated.
Her mom rolled her eyes and carefully passed her a small plate with two scrambled eyes.
"awe shit…"Tenten whispered. She remembered she wanted to go early to school (suprising, huh). She thought Neji was the type that went early to school, so she might have has some alone minutes with him to show her gratitude.
She didn't realize the irritation on her parents' faces.
"OH SHIT!" Tenten howled. I STILL NEVER GOT MY WALLET BACK!
By now, her parents' faces were screwed.
"How dare you com—"
Tenten avoided a beating without realizing it. She quickly ran out of her house, totally absent minded of what just happened.
She once again found herself staring at the plaza. This time she was on the other side of her previous location. It was faster for her to pass through the plaza if she wanted to walk home from school, but the safer, longer way was to go around the plaza. But this time she wanted to go to school and her school was on the other side of the plaza, so was the gate she usually entered carefree towards the plaza. But ever since yesterday she dreaded plazas. However, this time she had no choice. She had to go to the plaza.
She sighed. There must be another way...
She questioned her wear-about once again, before a green figure, on the middle of the plaza caught her eye.
"LEE" she shouted.
Lee's attention was caught as he turned around and waved.
She was so thankful. She graciously smiled and ran to him. She was safe.
Lee was one of her best friends.
He was ALWAYS there. When she met up with lee she gave him a big hug, indicating there was something wrong and she was in need of some comfort from friends.
She couldn't hold it in any longer, the terror of what happened yesterday could not be erased, not even if lee was there. So she spilled. Everything. Lee just listened with his permanent determined face expression and nodded.
"Thank goodness Neji was there" he concluded, putting his arm around her shoulder in comfort, which Tenten terribly needed.
"Yeah, but he didn't give a damn…" she couldn't pretend she wasn't hurt.
Then a light bulb flickered in her head.
"wait, you know what the really strange part of all this is?" she rhetorically asked, "how a 15 year-old boy could get 3… um, I don't know…20 year old men on the floor, in like 5 seconds."
"Don't you know? Neji is very strong"
"Yeah I figured, but like how…?"
"What do you think? He just stays in his room and cries revenge?"
"What…?"
"Neji works out…a lot"
"ok, that's…somewhat explainable, but what do you mean by revenge"
"eh… I kinda said too much. GOOD BYE TENTEN!"
Tenten grabbed him.
"Spill"
"Just don't tell anybody! He'll have my head" it hurt lee to admit Neji was stronger than him.
"yeah, I'm so going to tell everybody a deadly-boy's secret and ask for my death wish."
"Oh, that's right. I am satisfied."
"C'MON!"
"Well, you see about 30 years ago, the Hyuga family came to this city, don't bother asking me why or from where because I don't know. And well, you can be sure the city felt weary around them. They were, and are, friendly people. When someone was required to meet them… because of business or something, they found the Hyuga family very nice people with rich and attractive personality, so their frightening reputation was soon eliminated.
See, the thing about their family tree is that there has to be an alive male that is the leader of the whole family, not as in controlling the rest of the Hyugas, more like awareness of their education, money and condition. And that is Hinata's father. The determination of the position for Hinata's father was not easy due to being born with a twin…Neji's father. But all came to a rest as the one born first was to become the alpha.
Here's the conflict; their eyes. The citizens never got over that, neither did the Hyugas, because neither one knew why their eyes were so miraculous. One man took it too far, Kane was his name, he was a scientist and never let the case of the Hyugas mysterious eyes go. He read the Hyuga's children's profile… he was amazed realizing they always seemed to be the best in all categories at school. He couldn't take it any longer he needed to know why they were such notorious people. Kane attempted to kidnap one of the Hyuga children, but the child escaped. Even at the age of 8,the Hyuga child had enough strength and skill to get out of the situation. Kane was even more tempted. There were no charges put on Kane because there wasn't enough evidence. But that wasn't the end. Kane didn't care about the Hyugas's children anymore, what he wanted was the leader; Hinata's father. Kane believed he had more power and special abilities than any other Hyuga. One day Neji, 6 years old was playing out side as his father closely watched him. A group of men, practically came out of nowhere and grabbed Neji and held him hostage. The men declared to let Neji go, only if his father went with them without struggle.They believed Neji's father was the leader. Neji's father, sadly agreed…" lee sighed sadly, in closing, "…Neji never saw his father again He held, and is currently holding, a grudge against Hitana's father.
"I know there is more to it than this. Such as… what happened to Kane? Neji's father?
Why haven't the police been aware of this? There is so many questions that I don't know, and the sad part is, neither does Neji. Which strengthens the grudge".
Tenten was in shock. Oh my god… poor Neji!
She flinched at the thought of losing her own father.
How could I have made fun of him?
Idiot idiot idiot! And I can't believe these secrets are locked in Hinata's family. They seem very noble and strong, but they struggle much more than anyone else…
Hinata…
I can see why Neji is the way he is.
"And here I am. Trying to thank him…pfft as if my actions are going to make anything okay for him!" Tenten seemed to be shouting at herself, "I'm such a fucking idiot…"
"C'mon Tenten, I think you wanted to do something important here, other wise why come back to the plaza?" Lee smartly asked trying to change the subject.
"Oh yeah! My wallet! C'mon lee, I'll buy you anything you want for being such a good friend to me" she grinned as they walked toward the damn troublesome convenient store. Tenten suddenly had an urge to be much gentler and kinder.
The Cashier was annoyed to see Tenten.
"Took you long enough to realize your wallet was gone, you fucking girl", spat the cashier as she tossed the wallet back to Tenten. Tenten checked if any money was gone. $20 dollars was stolen. She gave the cashier a look. The cashier returned the look right back… but with a nasty smirk.
"by the way, how do you know all this about the Hyuga family?" Tenten asked.
"When Neji and i were in grade 3, we were close... he was quiet and would secretly cry. i always noticed, i stuck by him... and some secrets were revealed..."
School seemed to be as ordinary and annoying as ever to Tenten. And like always, during classes; she was absent minded. Sakura got annoyed no longer having any of her girl-friends to accompany her to the plaza, besides Tenten's struggle to persuade not to go at all. In the end Sakura was escorted with… Naruto, who was more than happy.
When school finally ended, Tenten was determined to talk to Neji, except he was nowhere in sight. She groaned and walked out of school alone. There, by the gate she saw Neji walking to the plaza, she took couple of steps to his direction before logic knocked on the door. He was already in the plaza.
No way am I going back there.
She sighed and had a concerned face expression as she watched Neji walk away.
He walks so graciously, like walking on clouds…
Neji walked just as normal as anyone else.
