Chapter 4: Invisible Miseries

"What Are YOU DOING?!?!?" Neji half yelled, half asked. TenTen took a big gulp before answering. She quivered in fear. He stalked over to her and snatched the book quickly out of her hands.

"What do you know? What did you read?" Neji demanded. TenTen looked down at the bed she was sitting on. "Neji, I didn't get to read anything. I just opened the cover and saw that it belonged to you and was about to put it in my bag so I could give it back to you at practice." She lied, you wouldn't know, she was quite good at it.

"Hmpf! whatever, let's go!" Neji replied coldly as he stormed out of the house, book in hand. TenTen sighed as she quickly chased after him. She quickly locked the door and jogged to keep just enough distance behind him that he couldn't see her directly out of the corner of his eyes. When they got there Neji went and sat down to meditate, he was really ticked.

"Hello Neji!" Lee yelled in his loud, obnoxious voice. Neji stood up and walked over to Lee, his eyes where partly closed and he was still mad.

"Morning Lee, would you like to spar together today?" Neji asked in a tone that made TenTen's blood boil. She had on of those  0.o looks. Lee's eyes started to sparkle as he jumped up and down excitedly.

"Do you really mean it Neji? Do you? Do you?" Lee asked like some 4 year who wants ice cream or a puppy. Neji nodded and they walked over to the cleared area. TenTen plopped down angrily and pouted. Gai walked over and train with her for a while. He saw she was distracted and told her to take a break to clear her thoughts.

She watched as Neji and Lee fought, Neji was going easy so Lee was actually getting some hits. About half way through Neji asked Lee if he would like to take a short break and eat lunch and regain some chakra. Lee agreed and the both sat and ate.

"Oi, TenTen-chan! Come and eat with us!" Lee yelled to her from their side of the grounds. TenTen smiled a weak smile.

"No thanks Lee, I'm good. I'm going out for lunch. I'll be back later." TenTen replied as she gathered her things and headed for a ramen shop. As soon as she was far enough away she let her eyes fill with sparkling tears. As she made her way slowly to the ramen shop, she was stopped by Lee.

"Oi, Lee-kun, what is it?" TenTen asked meekly, wiping her eyes. His put his hand under her small chin and looked at her with concern.

"TenTen-chan, what's a matter with you and Neji?" Lee asked, concern drowning his voice. She lunged at him and wrapped his torso and a hug and started crying into his chest. He was a little shocked at this, but he hugged her back, she was like a sister to him. He led her over to bench and asked her to explain. After she was done Lee looked at her with concern.

"TenTen-chan, why did you lie to Neji-san?" Lee asked as she looked at the ground.

"I guess it was because I was scared. We had better get back; Neji will be looking for us. I bet he hates me now." TenTen mumbled as she stood up. They both walked back to the training area as they saw Neji pounding a poor, defenseless dummy that looked as if made of metal from the amounts of kunai and shuriken embedded in it.

Lee and Neji finished their spar and both went home, Lee walked with TenTen since they lived next door and Neji hung around to eradicate the weapons.

The next week went by the same as this.

Miserable.

As soon as they go there, Neji would politely ask Lee to spar with him and he'd accept. They'd take a nice long break for lunch and TenTen would go out and come back only to train by herself all day. Neji would completely ignore her and it only made things worse.
