Pure Children – Heartbeat Five
To my fans. :3

The small golden peach fireflies gathered together as dusk spread over a cold sheet of stars over Konohagakure. Wood was being slowly broken away from existence as the girl sat relaxing on the large boulder, her glistening sunburned eyes matching the sky. The boy crushing the wood watched the girl from the corner of his vanilla lavenders, and hid away a small smirk as his long, jet black hair kept back away from his attractively pale face.

She sighed a bit dreamily, but strangely – she was never a hopeless romantic until this day, and it angered her inside. But her female hormones couldn't resist his "adorable" smirk, and "sexy" body – and she would know, being it that they've known each other since they were only mere toddlers. It was like they were best friends; but seemingly, it felt more to her, than it did to him.

He'd labeled her "his" in the Academy, when they first started. It was the tomboyish charm that got the attention from many other boys, as she would tell long fables of how a shuriken was invented, or how her twin buns help her hide many senbon without pricking herself. Then along came a small, chibi-like boy, with black shimmering hair, crying his little round eyes out that the trio became them.

The girl couldn't help but run over to comfort the strange looking child, but it was in her female nature to assist a helpless being.

The prodigy remembered how she became friends with him, and how the three of them were grouped together. Secretly, the prodigy was happy and proud to be with them, but his cold heart eventually took over his mind, and empathy, resulting in the ice block shinobi he is today.

And because of that weird, bowl-cut shaped hairdo boy, his personality had easily changed. He wasn't used to sharing, nonetheless speaking (all except for that bun haired girl), and he then stopped laughing and smiling, as he used to always.

Pine wood floated across the empty evening night, breaking him away from his thoughts as she spoke.

"Lee's here."

The Green Beast stepped out of the forest, innocently frowning and blinking at his comrades.

"What are you doing here?" Lee questioned passively. The prodigy kept his frown, too. "It's our sparring field also."

The girl chuckled slightly. "I might as well be off now. It's bad enough that you two might start fighting again, but that I think I might have left my apartment on fire."

The two glared at her confusedly as she hopped off the boulder, her feet softly tapping the ground a cheerful "goodnight".

"Sayonara, Neji-kun, Lee-kun." She sang and somewhat skipped off, out of sight, into the dark and damp forest.

Lee averted his glare from her and shot a meaningful look at Neji. "Tenten's acting rather strangely, don't you think?"

Neji chuckled and knit his brows together. "You don't know the half of it."

"Evening truce?"

The prodigy scowled and replied, "Evening truce."

And their harsh spar for her heart started once more.
