Drabble Three-Would You Care?

-:-

Tenten had never suffered from heart-break. She was too cool to suffer. Besides, it's not like she was going to instantly fall in love with someone. Her ninja status was more important. Like love did any good. Pfft!

Tenten didn't care if someone would get together with someone. It was just a waste of time. That's what Neji thought too. Until he fell for her. It's not like Tenten really cared. It wasn't her life. It was his. And she wasn't going to stop him from making his decisions.

So he did what he did. He asked Sakura out on a date. And it's not like Tenten would really acre, right? She said so herself, quote: "I don't have time for love. It's just a waste of my time. Besides, friends are better. You don't have to dress up for them; you don't have to act different to get their attention, so whatev!"

Tenten didn't care when Neji would kiss Sakura and how she would kiss. She didn't care how she would hold his hand and how she smiled this happy smile when she sat next to him. How Sakura looked like she enjoyed kissing Neji. Tenten didn't care how annoying it was to listen to Sakura ramble on and on how Neji did this and how he did that, blah, blah, blah. She didn't care how Neji would sometimes talk about Sakura in this nauseating way, Tenten almost puking in her mouth. Instead, she puked in her head, making her inner clean up the mess.

Tenten didn't care how happy Neji looked with Haruno, or how he was asking Tenten the most graceful and romantic way to tell a girl you love her or how he asked her to help him pick out an engagement ring for their engagement. She just didn't care. She had a hint of worry in her mind that this wasn't supposed to go that way, that she was supposed to be Sakura and Neji was asking Sakura to help him pick out a ring.

She just didn't care.

No, she didn't care. She didn't care how they had gotten married and how she wasn't invited. She didn't care that just two months after they got married Sakura got pregnant.

She didn't care how he totally forgot about her when he got together with Sakura. No she didn't care. Not at all. She just didn't. And she certainly didn't care that her heart was broken in two. How she spent three years crying over him. How she watched the two in case Sakura broke his heart. She never did. And she most certainly didn't care how she died without no lover, no family, no nothing.

But she did care. And how could he not love her when she was dedicated to him 100 percent? How she sparred with him everyday before she came along? How could he let her treat herself like that? How could he not love her at all? How could he leave her like that? But most importantly, how could he have not noticed how she was left heart-broken? How could he? Well, he could have. And he did. He left her. Forever. She died heart-broken. All because of him. And she never got the chance to say goodbye.

It was too late anyway. After all, it was too painful to see him with anyone else. All of Konoha also thought that Neji would marry Tenten and have kids with her.

But they were all dead wrong. Her death affected everyone else but Neji. Sakura and her kids were crying over her. But not Neji.

Besides, she was the one that knew most about Neji, maybe more than Neji himself. Sakura would always run to Tenten about what Neji liked and disliked, about what he ate, about what he would always do in the morning, about everything. Soon they had become the best of friends, but Neji and Tenten drifted apart.

Never to say hello or goodbye again. Never to smile or smirk, never to hug, never to see her smile again. Never to do anything.

He didn't care. She wasn't his best friend anymore. He didn't invite her to his wedding because it was too painful to see her. Especially without him sitting there next to her. Holding her hand, kissing her forehead. No. He was married and had kids. But not with her. The one he had actually predicted to be his wife, the mother of his children.

He would usually listen how Sakura talked about Tenten and told stories of how fearless and strong she was to their kids. How Sakura would smile when she said Tenten and how she had said that Tenten was her best friend.

No. She was Neji's, and he wanted her back. But he didn't care. He didn't care how much he had actually loved Tenten and how Tenten never had anyone there for her.

Tenten was the best friend in the picture, and Sakura? Sakura used Tenten for much of her knowledge of Neji. Tenten knew every bit of Sakura's plan of using her, and yet…Tenten went along with it.

Neji could have kicked and kissed her loyalty and friendship. It was just that…Now that she's gone…Gone to a place where everyone would love her, worship her, kiss her…

And Neji wouldn't be in that crowd. Sure, he was good enough to go to heaven, but not as pure enough of a heart like Tenten to be loved.

And Tenten was his secret he kept locked up deep in his heart. And she was the key. And the heart of his life. She was the sun, the moon, the Earth…But what she wasn't, and never ever to be again…was his wife…the mother of his children… And she would stay that way. Neutral forever.

And he cared. And he went to heaven and saw her. And he smiled…for the first time ever…he smiled upon seeing her…

And he was right…As always… She was a goddess in heaven… But…she still treated her like the "prince" that he was. Greeting him like when they were best friends, hugging him, despite the jealousy in Sakura. Smiling at him, sparring with him in heaven, talking to him, sharing a meal with his family (Sakura and some of his dead, now angels, kids), the kids loved her, as did he.

And he wondered. And wondered. And wondered. He wondered how he got stuck with Sakura and how he could have actually forgotten Tenten. Neji was bad. He was evil. Tenten was too good for him.

And you know what he said to her? "You're too good for me. But know this. I love you. It's just that I was blind."

"I know. And I love you too. Just…just promise me this," Tenten smiled her sweeter than sugar smile at Neji. He returned it with a smirk.

The same old Neji. "What's that?"

"Promise me that you'll care. No matter what," Her eyes showed complete sadness and began to become glassy. Her face flushed red and became blotchy, a sign of tears. Hot, damp tears rolled down her pink cheeks as she plastered on a smile.

He embraced her in a hug and she was hugging back. Neji smirked again, this time, it was almost a smile. And the almost smile turned into a full-fledged smile. "I always did. But…"

Her crying ceased and she tilted her head to meet his eyes. "But?"

"But would you?"
