Drabble Six-Tomboys Can Look Pretty Too!
Dedicated to nefaith
-:-
So Tenten was a tomboy. Go figure. I mean, she's got the skills of a very well-trained shinobi, she's got a small six pack, I mean, who wouldn't after training with the Hyuuga prodigy for like, what? Since they were like, six, seven?
Tenten knows every little thing about Neji, as Neji knows every little thing about Tenten. And he knew that she just so happened to get angry when someone called her a boy, considering that she liked guy stuff, and wore baggy clothes (not all of them were that way), and played with weapons since she was like three, and that her first words were "Knife," and "Dagger," and "Katana,".
So Neji decided to see a little more of Tenten that one August day, when every team was there at Ichiraku's, eating their lunch before going off to train. You see, Neji was being awfully brave that day, and just about as cold as ever, when is he not? So, being the coldest prodigy, next to Sasuke, he walked up to Tenten right before eating.
"Tenten," he said, a small hint of venom in his voice, trying to sound ignorant.
Tenten turned around and away from the conversation she was having with Sakura, maybe about which song is better, "My Humps" or "Walk Away", each both by singers unknown to the Hyuuga boy.
"Oh, hey, Sakura-chan, save me a seat, kay?" Tenten smiled at Sakura, who smiled back, walking towards the restaurant. The bun haired girl then walked up to Neji, plastering on her best smile ever, making Neji slightly blush inwardly. He put on his best "I-don't-care" look, and glared at her, scowling. "What is it Neji-kun?"
Her voice sent imaginary goose-bumps down Neji's back, but kept back the shudder. "Talk. Me. Now."
Tenten, throwing a quizzical look at him, followed him as he walked farther away from the ramen place. Finally getting to an ear's shot distance, away from the noise of Naruto, Neji stopped as Tenten did so mockingly. "Mmhm, what is it Neji-kun?"
Neji rolled his eyes and scoffed. "What's your problem?"
Tenten gave him a look, as in, what-are-you-talking-about? "Nani?"
"You wear the same thing everyday. Oh, that's right. You can't afford anything else." Neji retorted, looking at her straight in the eye. Her eyes turned from warm, happy and kind to evil, maniacal, and cold. Cold, almost like his.
"Hyuuga Neji, just because I can't afford anything nice and decent like you, doesn't mean you can rub it in my face." Her voice had turned harsh and cold, anything what she is really like.
And she did something no one dared to do. She slapped him. It was the only thing that she could do besides spit on him. He was taken aback from the powerful force she gave into that smack. And he deserved it. Tenten narrowed her eyes at him, and then left.
Just left, she went right past each team, with a great look of disgust on her beautiful face. Sakura, Ino and Hinata saw that, as everyone gaped at the bug red spot on Neji's cheek.
"She slapped you!" Naruto screamed in between laughs, holding his stomach, turning a lot of colors.
Tenten left at noon, and Neji stayed at Ichiraku, practically getting drunk on noodles, when someone walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. Lee, Naruto, Kiba and Sasuke were with him, when they turned on their seats and gasped. Neji didn't bother to look, he was, almost sulking.
"Oh, hello boys. It's nice here at night, isn't it?" a female voice cooed as Sasuke almost lost his cool.
Naruto hit Neji's shoulder with as much force as he could from the sight of the femme fatale in front of him. Neji scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Nani. What is it Naruto?"
Naruto was a loss at words, as he merely pointed in front of him, blue clear eyes widened to the size of a bowling ball. Neji looked over his shoulder to what Naruto was pointing at. But what he saw, he almost, well, he did get a nose bleed, as did Sasuke, Kiba, Lee and the now fainted Naruto. Too much for a pee-wee brain like him.
Neji turned on his chair, in full view of what stood in front of him. It was…it was…
"Tenten…chan?" Neji almost stuttered as he held his nose to keep the blood from coming out.
Tenten winked playfully and the boys twitched. Lee started to foam at the mouth. "TENTEN-CHAN! YOUR YOUTH! YOU…YOU…" Poor Lee was cut off as he went bye-bye, into unconscious land with Naruto.
The smile on Tenten's face widened as she flipped her hair behind her shoulder. Her hair was let go, leaving it flow gently in the warm breeze, her face was clean, no make up, but her outfit… It was a very elegant purple kimono, a sky blue obi, filled with kunai and shuriken, for safety purposes, and small pearl white crescent moons embroidered the dress, as it ended at her ankles, a long slit starting from the bottom of the kimono to her very upper thigh, showing off beautiful toned slim, long legs. Sporting a blue leg bracelet on her right leg, she also wore pretty purple heels, and she smiled.
A smile that broke Neji's ice around his heart. Yes, she was the one. Neji flinched as she gingerly rubbed the red outline of her hand on his cheek. "Sorry, Neji-kun, but these things happen. And don't you forget: Tomboys can look pretty too. Now if you'll excuse me, I had a date,"
Her hand dropped as she walked away from the boys. Screw being conscious, the guys, all of them, were having a great time in Lala Land, dreaming about Tenten and her waist long chocolate hair. So she was right. Tomboys can look pretty, no, screw pretty, BE beautiful too. So there she was. The tomboy that was beautiful. But tonight, she was the tomboy that stole Neji's heart.
And he didn't want it back.

Sakura sighed deeply as she licked her lips nervously. She had seen Neji and Ino in the closet, and they weren't kissing, so it would be okay if she didn't kiss Naruto, would it? It broke her heart when she saw Tenten and Sasuke make out, so she had the right to make out with whom ever she wants to! That is, if she wants to make out with Naruto…
Sakura shook her head, as Naruto cupped it gingerly. "Wait, my kyuubi senses are tingling…You need…some attention…"
