Reason (1) : Chapter (6)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tenten gaped at Neji in awe. He had just said that she was his girlfriend. Was Neji in his right mind?! How could he? How could he have said that? "N-neji…" Tenten whispered softly.

"Neji, is this true?" Hiashi asked seriously. Tenten was silent, partly due to the fact that a cold, rebellious bastard had just announced that she was his girlfriend. How dare he say that without confirming it with her? The thought alone made her boil inside.

Neji rose to look up at Hiashi and smirked. "Does it look like I'm lying, Hiashi-sama?" Neji asked while putting an arm around Tenten's waist and pulling her closer. Hiashi thoroughly examined Tenten and Neji's faces. Tenten was struggling a bit, so Neji whispered, "Damnit Tenten, just play it cool." Tenten just glared at Neji and starting fidgeting, trying to escape from his arms. But this only made Neji's hold on her tighten.

"Listen, if you want to serve me for the rest of your life, be my guest," Neji whispered, commanding all of Tenten's attention, "But, if you want to get out of this situation, you'll just have to play along." Tenten sighed deeply. Neji's threat won over her rebellious actions.

"Fine, I'll play along," Tenten whispered back. She closed her eyes and thought of all the things young couples did. Kissing, hugging, giggling, laughing, cuddling, and loving glances towards each other were all she could think of. Okay Tenten, it's time to put your acting skills to the test.

Tenten smiled warmly at Hiashi, "Of course I'm his girlfriend." She wrapped both of her arms around Neji in an embrace, and reluctantly placed her head on his shoulder. 'Heh who knew Tenten could flirt? Good job Tenten,' Neji thought as he laid his head on hers.

Hiashi nodded his head, "Very impressive Neji. And here I thought my nephew would always be a bachelor. I would very much enjoy having your girlfriend over for dinner. Make sure she is in formal attire. Until then, my nephew Neji. You are dismissed." Hiashi turned around, stood up and opened another sliding door and entered through.

A few seconds after Hiashi left the room, Tenten sighed deeply. "Thank god for all those acting lessons," Tenten said, turning to Neji. Neji looked as if he were petrified. "Neji?" Tenten asked, waving her hand in front of Neji's face. Tenten grinned mischievously, since Neji still hadn't replied to her call, the only thing she could do to knock him back into reality was to slap him. Unfortunately for Neji, Tenten wasn't feeling to generous. If she was going to slap him, she was going to slap him as hard as she could. And that's exactly what she did.

"Damnit Tenten, what the hell was that for?" Neji howled while rubbing his red cheek. Tenten stuck out her tongue in a playful manner. Neji would have found this action of retaliation cute, except for the fact that he had been slapped hard. The cold, hard fact that a girl had slapped him hard. "Put that tongue back in your mouth before I shove it back in," Neji growled.

Tenten frowned, "Gawd, what's with the attitude? Geez, honestly, tell me. What crawled up your ass?" That was it; Neji had enough of her smart-ass comments and actions. He jumped on her and pinned her down. Neji grabbed both of her hands and pinned them up above her head with one of his hands. "H-hey, Neji. W-what are you doing?" Tenten asked, stuttering. 'Shit, he's not planning on…doing that is he?!' Tenten thought.

"Neji, what are you doing?" Tenten repeated. Neji glared at her seriously, making her shut up. 'No, Neji wouldn't do that to her, would he? He wasn't that barbaric… Or was he?' Tenten thought. If only she had her weapons with her. Then the thought hit her; she did have her weapons with her! If only she could loosen up at least one of her hands.

"Tenten. I have something to tell you," Neji said seriously. Neji sighed, knowing the condition of his current situation. He had just told Hiashi that Tenten was his girlfriend. He knew the reason why Hiashi wanted to have Tenten over for dinner. He wanted to test her.

Tenten looked at him, "Yeah, I'm listening."

"You might not approve of what I am about to are just going to tell you, Tenten," Neji said seriously. "However, you are just going to have to comply. You have no choice."

Confused, Tenten tilted her head to her side. "No option? Is it that serious?" Tenten asked.

Neji slapped his head. "Just listen Tenten. Do you know the reason why Hiashi wanted to have you come over for dinner?" Neji got off of Tenten and said down in Indian pose. Tenten repeated the action.

Tenten pondered on the thought. Sighing deeply, Tenten replied, "Probably because you opened your big fat mouth and declared that we were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. By the way, why the hell did you say that Neji?"

Tenten grinned, looking at Neji's serious facial expression, "Hah! Don't tell me you've fallen for me already." Neji opened his mouth to reply, but Tenten interrupted by reaching up and pinching both of Neji's cheeks. "You're too cute, Neji Hyuuga. But unfortunately for you, I don't feel the same about you," Tenten said, grinning goofily.

Neji brushed Tenten's hands off of his face, "Tenten, first of all. This is a serious situation we're in. And second of all, I have not fallen for you."

"Yet," Tenten added, grinning evilly.

"Pft, keep dreaming, Tenten," Neji said, smirking. After a few moments, Neji added, "It'll be you who falls for me first."

Tenten frowned, then grinned evilly, "Want to bet?"

Neji was silent, the smirked at Tenten, "Sure, be ready to loose, Tenten. Keep in mind that I'm the heartthrob, and you're not."

Tenten took this as an insult and gasped in annoyance, "Well, fine Hyuuga. We-w-well just see who wins."

Neji chuckled, "Heh, nice comeback Tenten."

Tenten glared at Neji, unable to find another comeback due to the fact that she was embarrassed. "S-shut up, Neji," Tenten said, scoffing.

Neji leaned against a wall, staring at her and smirked, "Embarrassed?"

Tenten's eyes widened, "N-no," noticing that she was stuttering, she cleared her throat, "I mean, no."

Neji walked towards her. Once she noticed that he was walking towards her, for every step that he took that brought him closer to her, she took a step that brought her farther away from him. However, she soon backed up into a corner. Nowhere to go, Neji just a few paces away; she was doomed to embarrassment forever.

"Heh, you're back up to the wall now Tenten. How'd you get cornered there?" Neji asked, smirking.

Tenten cleared her throat again. Neji's face was just a few inches away from hers. "H-how'd I get cornered here?" Tenten asked, then an idea hit her, "How did I get cornered here? That's a stupid question to ask, don't you think, Hyuuga? Well, I got cornered here because you kept on walking forward. Using my common sense, I had walk backwards so you wouldn't hit me. Honestly, someone would think you were a blind old man, walking right into me. Maybe you should get glasses Hyuuga. I do see that your eyes are getting a bit cloudy in some areas." Her speech left him speechless. 'Huzzah, Tenten. 1 point for you!' Tenten thought victoriously.

Neji smirked and walked closer. Tenten's eyes widened, his face was about less than an inch away. "What are you doing, Neji?" Tenten asked, showing evidence of paranoia. Neji took advantage of this and replied, "Well, doctor Tenten, as you said, I need glasses. I can't see where I'm going. I can only go forward."

Tenten's line of sight led her to see Neji's lips. They were coming closer, and closer with every move he made. Tenten gulped down hard, trying to find any excuse to get out of her current situation with Neji. "Well, I guess I should go get some glasses for you then," Tenten said, trying to slip through.

Neji noticed her hidden motives and immediately placed both of his hands on both sides of her shoulders, therefore limiting any movement Tenten could make to get away. He would have his sweet revenge on her, and have a little fun. He hadn't had any amusing moments since ever.

"Neji, move your hands," Tenten said, looking into Neji's own eyes.

"No," was Neji's simple reply.

Tenten glared at Neji, "What? No? Move, Neji."

"No. I don't want to," Neji said, moving his face even closer to hers. Tenten could feel his breath on her ear. Tenten gasped, it gave her a tingly feeling inside; a foreign feeling that was completely new to her. "So, how do you feel with my being this close?" Neji asked, enjoying her reaction. He pressed his body onto hers. Tenten shuddered.

Tenten faced Neji and noticed he was smirking, "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Neji's smirk widened a bit, "Your torture is my pleasure."

Tenten was silent for a while. 'It's okay, Tenten, he's just playing with you. … Oh FUCK it! That Neji's going to get it!' Tenten thought, outraged. Tenten stomped on Neji's foot as hard as she could. Neji jumped up and howled in pain. "That's for being such a jerk to me, Hyuuga!" Tenten shouted. "Pull off another stunt like that… And I'll make sure I turn you into a woman, you hear? Jerk," Tenten said, venting her anger by throwing her hidden kunai at the limping Neji.

Once Tenten was out of kunai, she left the room, leaving a bloody Neji lying on the ground. "Did I overdo it?" Tenten thought out loud. "Hah hah! As if, this is Neji Hyuuga we're talking about." After Tenten had walked more than 89 pace, she was lost yet again. She was lost in yet another endless hallway. "Gah! Why does this always happen to me?" Tenten said, depressed.

"Excuse m-me? Are y-you… Cousin N-neji's girlfriend? T-tenten?" A shy voice called out. Tenten turned around to see a girl who looked like she was around her age. She had the same white, blank eyes as Neji and Hiashi did. Were they relatives?

Tenten nodded, "Yes. I-I mean no! Me? The girlfriend of that f'ed up bastard? Pft, yeah right."

The other girl's face fell, "So y-you aren't Cousin N-neji's girlfriend?"

Tenten nodded again, "Yes, but my name is Tenten. Who are you?"

The young girl's eyes met Tenten, "H-hinata H-hyuuga. N-neji is my cousin."

Tenten was confused. Neji had a cousin? Well, apart from the attitude differences, they did kinda look alike. If Neji and Hinata were cousins… That only meant that Hiashi was Neji's uncle? After all, it did seem like Neji really respected that guy and Hiashi did call Neji his nephew.

"So, Hinata. Can you help me to the exit? I have to go somewhere," Tenten asked while smiling.

Hinata smiled back, "Of course. I'll come with you and we'll drive there."

Tenten grinned. 'This Hinata girl was really accommodating, and she seemed really nice too,' Tenten thought. "Ok, thanks Hinata," Tenten said, grinning widely.

On the way to the exit, a conversation lead it's way to Neji's family history. "So, Hinata, what's up with Neji? I mean, why does he seem so cold, and distant… And so bitchy?"

Hinata flinched at Tenten's description of her cousin.

"T-tenten, cousin N-neji's really a good person. H-he's had a horrible childhood and past. F-father and I-i were hoping that h-he'll find that special person to melt the lock that brings so much pain to h-him. That's when I overheard that-" Hinata was interrupted.

"You mean you were that girl who said, 'Yes, Hiashi-sama.'?" Tenten asked. Hinata nodded. "So that means that Hiashi is your father, and you're his daughter!" Tenten exclaimed. "But if you live here, and if Hiashi lives here, why is Neji here?"

Hinata smiled, "W-we're all family, welcome to the Hyuuga Mansion."

Tenten grinned at Hinata, "Thanks. This… Is a pretty big place for just 3 people though."

"Well, w-we have maids, cooks, many hallways. Which y-you probably already know," Hinata said, giggling.

"Ah hah hah, about that…" Tenten said, scratching her head sheepishly, "I didn't know where I was, so I got lost. Heh. Anyway, what were you saying about Neji's past?"

Hinata looked down solemnly. "Cousin N-neji has been through a lot. Cousin N-neji lost both of h-is parents when h-he was only a child." Tenten's face saddened, knowing the pain that Neji felt. However, she kept quiet, wanting to hear the rest of the story. "H-his father's life was taken in exchange for m-my father's. H-his mother abandoned h-him soon after h-he was born. Ever since h-his father's life was taken, h-he's been so… Cold," Hinata said.

Tenten's eyes wandered around, the only thought in her head was, 'so… Cold.' Tenten kept her eyes on the sight in front of her. She did not look to her left, nor to her right. "I know the pain Neji feels. It's a pain that will always locked deep within the heart. He can never forget it, even if someone special melts his heart. It's a pain that he'll have to heal himself," Tenten said.

Hinata looked at Tenten. "Y-you have experienced such an event as well, T-tenten?" Hinata asked. Tenten didn't answer, but Hinata knew the answer. "Well, I-I guess that makes y-you and cousin N-neji a better match!" Hinata said cheerfully. "Oh! T-tenten, we've reached the exit door."

Tenten grinned at Hinata, "Thanks."

Hinata opened the fancy, cedar wood door and Tenten gasped. "Wow! A Limosine! That thing's huge!"

Hinata laughed nervously, "Hehe, well, come on, w-we have to go." Hinata grasped Tenten's hand and lead her to the car.

"Where are we going?" Tenten asked.

Hinata smiled at Tenten, "W-we're going shopping! Cousin N-neji's bride to be has to have pretty clothes!"

Tenten halted, "B-B-B-B-BRIDE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
