Summary: To everyone she was Tenten. But to the both of them, she was claimed to be his lover. – NejiTenLee –

The sakura blossom hung onto the fully arisen, elderly sakura palm as the river's fringe creek bank shimmered silvery pearl – a sign of tranquility. The sun kissed her flushed angelic face and she smiled hazily. It was also a sign of enchanted love when she sighed absentmindedly.

Tenten hasn't sparred with Hyuuga Neji for a week. And she couldn't care less. Her mind was on someone – a special someone that had always cared for her and laughed with her and protected her.

Nonetheless, Neji had protected her, and gave her butterflies in her stomach, but he never made her feel…special. Like the way her green clad teammate did. It would seem like one would love the Hyuuga Neji but she just got sick and tired of him having to ignore her.

But that time at the beach made him realize something. Life's not always the way you take it to be. It has twists and turns, squeezes and churns. He never really paid any attention to that, just how fate and destiny can be alike.

Well in many ways actually. Fate and destiny both control the world as two different stars. Fate being the large golden peachy sun and destiny being the moon. And when the two reproduced, they gave the world a whole new place bearing a whole new name.

Earth.

But has the earth ever shown love? Mother Nature takes its course – and turning everything into oblivion, hating everyone. But the aftermath takes a different course, changing the perspective of the world's rough saga.

And that shows love.

Either wise, showing love to people unknown and uncared for makes the world turn, be it a hurricane.

As for Tenten, love makes everything better and had she realized that the Hyuuga Neji watched her, leaning on the sakura palm aloofly cool and calm, she would have said something, but nothing escaped her lips.

Just a shock-ridden gasp when he decided to speak up.

"Tenten," he hissed coldly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Tell me. What have you been doing the past week, not sparring with me?"

It was true. In fact, she wasn't her normal self a couple of weeks ago when her mind still processed the thought of a spar in mid-dawn.

But, that was not the intended question.

"Neji," Tenten called softly. "Oh Neji, I've never had this feeling before! It's so warm…and it makes me feel so happy and I think that-"

"Who is it?" Neji barked, ignoring her joyful reports of how love can really feel in one's heart. But Neji's heart has been far than damaged. It has been shattered.

"Who is who? I am Tenten." She replied dumbfounded. Neji mentally slapped himself.

"Who do you love?" he repeated in monotone.

Tenten smiled at him slowly while turning around and casually getting up on her feet. Slowly yet gracefully, she managed to amble towards him and she stood firmly in front of him.

He watched her with his brows quirked in interest. "Well?" he spat. "Who is it?"

She snapped her eyes closed and sighed pleasantly. "I am in love with…"

His eyes widened by surprise as she fell into his arms. Unconscious. He had to. It was the only way to keep the pain away.

Neji lifted his arms to grab the weapons mistress and carry her bridal style as the sunset closed in on them.

The cherry sakura blossom slowly fell into the river's bank as the water swept it away into a never land of silver and azure.
