Chapter two- You really don't like dresses, do you?
Disclaimer: I'm not Masashi Kishimoto-san, therefore I do not own Naruto. Damn it, that hurts!
Chapter Summary: Basically, Neji tries his best to stop Tenten from killing Lee. The details? Just read!
Neji sat on a chair he found in front of the women locker and rubbed his temples. 'I am a Hyuuga, damn it. And this is so beyond my levels. Personal note: Don't become too caring. The green idiots might rape you.' He looked down beside him to check if Lee was alive again. 'Seems like he's not…' Right then Lee groaned and rubbed his head slightly. 'Damn, he's awake…' Suddenly Neji had a brilliant idea. He stood up to go to Tenten and obliviously stepped on Lee, who was right back into dreamland. "Hn.", Neji said grinning. "Tenten?" He then asked, looking for his team-mate.
"I'm here." He heard her frustrated voice out of the change cabin. "Come out.", the coffee- brunette ordered. "No." 'She definitely is not in the mood. Why am I the one who has some freaking team? Why do I have to be stuck with some green youthists and a tomboy?! Okay, not that I mind Tenten, it's more useful for kunoichis to be tomboyish, but Tenten acts like those dresses have a killing intent against her.' "Tenten, you need to come out." "Why?", the stubbornness in the female's voice was just too noticeable. Neji blushed, but told the girl the embarrassing truth: "Because I can't get in your change cabin." "Oh, really?", her reply wasn't as sarcastic as it sounded, that was just Tenten. 'When in her life does she ever notice her environment?' "You can come in then." "Finally…" He opened the curtain and stood there, speechless. Okay, if he wasn't Hyuuga Neji you would have thought he's dead, but actually he just didn't move or breath. "Neji?" The brunette waved in front of her team-mate. "What is it?" He snapped out of his shock and looked at her. Tenten's hair was down and what he saw of it, was longer than his own. The dress she wore was way too inviting for Neji's like. Not to mention his shorts suddenly felt tight. Flushing like hell, he turned around. "Neji? Is this dress okay? Neji!" She had followed him in her stunning appearance and had grabbed the shinobi's arm. 'Kami-sama, I never thought Tenten was that curvy… calm down, that is your team-mate… okay, you may add your damn right hot team-mate, but let's not tell that in public.' He shook Tenten's hand off his arm and glanced at her. The dress was strapless and reached barely past the kunoichi's knees. It was tight and you could see every curve perfectly. Neji was sure that every other idiot would drool over her. "How is it?" She questioned. "Too tight." He answered. "I knew it!", the female cried, "I'm too fat! I've got such a boy figure!" She ran back into the change cabin and the white-eyed male felt guilty. "Tenten, you…" "Don't say anything, I'm not going to come out here ever again!" "Don't make me come in there." "Oh, as long as our sensei can make me wear a dress you can break into a girl's change cabin!" "Okay, but don't say it was my fault!" He ripped the curtain open and was relieved when he saw Tenten in her normal clothes. "Give me the dress." "Here. Don't make me wear it ever again." "I won't. You looked too much like Yamanaka in it." Tenten gasped. 'He thought I looked too seductive?' "Was it too…", she blushed, "… tempting?"
Neji was so shocked, he dropped the dress. 'Where did she get that word? Where has her innocence gone?' "Where are you all?? Hello!", they heard a familiar voice and for the first time Neji was glad to see Lee. "Oh, Tenten, that dress looks good on you." Neji slapped his forehead, Tenten growled. "What's up?" "Those are her normal clothes, baka.", Neji hissed. "Oh, you're right. Have you found the right one yet?", the tai-jutsu-master asked. "No. Accept it already, Lee. I won't ever find the right one. I hate dresses!" Tenten's eyes were filled with desperation and left without warmth. "Don't get depressed, my youthful friend! I've got a brilliant idea!", the shinobi in the green spandex suit announced while doing his nice guy pose. The tomboy's orbs widened hopefully. "Tell us, Lee-kun!" "Hn. As if he'd ever even think.", a certain prodigy mumbled, don't think he was jealous, no, he just didn't like to lose Tenten's attention because of any other boy or worse, Lee. Now please make your own thoughts on that one. "Tenten, you don't mind wearing a smoking, do you?" "No, I don't." "Got it? You just wear a smoking!" Neji arched an eyebrow at the euphoric fuzzy-brow. "Lee? Did you ever heard that you're an empty bottle?" "Nope. What I've heard, I'm pretty full." "Full of dumbness, you mean.", the Hyuuga snapped and turned around. "By the way, Gai-sensei wanted Tenten to wear a dress, you forgot?" "Oh, haven't I told you?" "What?", Tenten questioned. "You and Neji, you are both brunette, aren't you?" "Hai… wait, you don't want me and him to… no, Lee, no, no, no!" The weapon mistress squealed. "Where is your problem? You're such a tomboy and he wears a dress everyday. There's no need to worry, my youthful friends, as long as I'm…-" He was cut off by Tenten's fist. "I'm not a damn tomboy, and I won't lose to a creepy dress!" With that she rushed straight into the pink dresses section. Neji followed, but before that he shot a death-glare at Lee: "Be happy that I don't stab people who are already done. This is a traditional Hyuuga robe, not a dress. Hn."
'Ha, tomboy! Tomboy will make you drool, I promise! I will look so drop-dead gorgeous that you'll eat one of your precious spandies for not having seen my beauty earlier! Ha, look, Lee, tomboy Tenten is on the move!' She grabbed a pink mini dress out of the pink hell, while laughing hysterically. "That's too pink, by the way, you act like a maniac." A deep voice was heard from her right. The ninja didn't turn around to answer. "Neji, I'm not fond of the whole dress thing, as you know, but Lee has challenged me. I'm not a tomboy." The male quirked an eyebrow at this statement. "Nope, as far as I know, I'm still a girl. I'm just more practical than other ones. How about this one?" Neji blinked. The dress she held up was half-strapless and also a cruel shade of pink with orange clouds on it. The boy began to grin. "What is it? Have I mistaken a piece of lingerie for a dress?" "Hn. Never knew the Akatsuki had a girls' uniform." "Imagine the blonde wearing that." The kunoichi chuckled and then spoke like Deidara. " 'My orange clouds show only a piece of my extraordinary art, un!' " No offense meant, I like Deidara, but I could so imagine him in that dress! Tenten suddenly stopped in her acting. "Neji, there it is! The perfect dress!" The girl had dashed off in the blink of an eye and came back just as fast. "I'll try it. Oh, look after Lee, I think he is crawling to the underwear area…" Neji nodded confused. The only thing he saw of the dress was that it was red. He sat down in front of the locker. 'I wonder what this one looks like… or more exactly, what Tenten looks like… ehm, I mean for being able to use her for distracting a future enemy…' "Neji? I'm ready!"
When his team-mate left the change cabin he felt his heart skip a beat. 'H-O-T! Hit-on-Tenten. Kami-sama, where did that come from?!'
"Neji-kun? Could you help me? I didn't get the dress closed. The zipper is stuck. Please?"
Hopefully it's as good as the other one, but I highly doubt it. And nope, I don't hate Lee. Actually I like him pretty much, but he's so easy to make fun of. At least the NejiTen thing starts to exist.
Byes,
