Pure Children – Heartbeat Three

Dedicated to my fans.

The majestic sunrays flickered their last dance as the whip lashed nighttime sky took over the world – tracing the puffs of clouds into a slow, soft azure floating above the silver lights of Konohagakure. A tectonic move of harsh chucking into plain oak surrounded the boy as his teacher watched silently from above.

Good work Lee… the teacher mentally mused.

A cracking of twigs and snapping of wood came across the forest as the green clad boy hushed his beating and narrowed his round eyes. "I know you're out there." he stated. "Show yourself!"

The snapping ceased and out of the woods swiveled a shadow. Lee grunted in shock. "I said show yourself!"

The given person stepped out. "Lee-kun?" she called. "It's just me…Tenten…" The moonlight reflected off of her glistening eyes as he smiled. "Oh…Tenten-chan? What are you doing here so late?"

Tenten crawled out of the walking space she had made and ambled over to her teammate. Resting her head upon his firm chest, she sighed dreamily. "Lee-kun…I just don't know anymore…Neji…he…"

Lee's arms wrapped around Tenten's body. "What did he do…?" he barked. Tenten embraced him and sighed. "Neji…he…he asked me…"

The boy's eyes widened. "Hai, what did he ask you?" His grip loosened.

The weapons mistress giggled at Lee's actions. "He asked me who I loved." She said. Poking his nose, she let out a stream of giggles, pulling away from the boy immediately and running off back into the woods, shouting in sing-song, "I said who! I said who! I said who!"

Lee, dumbfounded, rubbed the back of his head confusedly. "Oh well," he mumbled. The moonlight's heavy song filled the night as the Hyuuga prodigy appeared at the field.

"Was Tenten here?" he questioned.

Lee paused from the beating. Closing his eyes, he replied, "No. She hasn't come by here."

Neji quirked an eyebrow, doubting his word. Turning at his feet, the prodigy just about disappeared through the darkness before he spoke up again. "You lie."

Lee smiled. "I know."

The moon glistened brightly as the Hyuuga prodigy walked off slowly, listening to the soft chirps heard from the forest.

"I said who…I said who…I said who…I said who…"
