Tenten ran to the training grounds as fast as she could. She thought about going back and explaining why she had run of to Ino, but that would only make her more late. She would have to put that off until next time. 'If Neji, doesn't kill me for being late.' Tenten thought to herself. 'I totally forgot about training because of that breakup. Maybe I should take Neji back today, but I do love watching him squirm.'
She ran into the training grounds and saw Lee and Gai hugging each other while crying obnoxiously. Her eyes scanned the training grounds.
Lee: check
Gai: check
Weapons: check
Neji???
"Gai-sensei, pant I am so sorry that I am pant late for training pant today. I just forgot about it pant and I promise that it will never pant happen ever again." Tenten said while trying to catch her breath.
"LEE, OUR YOUTHFUL YOUNG FLOWER HAS RETURNED! LET US THANK THE HEAVANS FOR HER SAFE RETURN." Gai said while doing a dance of joy.
"YES GAI-SENSEI, WE SHOULD DO 300 PUSHUPS TO THANK THE GODS." Lee said.
"Um, I was wondering… Does anyone know where Neji might have went?" Tenten asked.
"MY YOUTHFUL RIVAL HAS LEFT IN SEARCH FOR YOU. BUT DO NOT WORRY. I BELIVE THAT YOUR EX-BOYFRIEND WILL COME BACK SAFELY." Lee said.
'How does he know that we broke up?' Tenten asked herself.
"LEE!!! YOUR YOUTHFULNESS IS ABUNDANT." Gai screamed
"GAI-SENSEI!" Lee screamed.
"LEE"
"GAI-SENSEI"
"LEE"
"GAI-SENSEI"
Cue crashing waves and sunset.
Tenten would have seen all of this, but she had already walked away. 'I might as well go home and think of a way that I can get Neji to forgive me.'
At the Marketplace
Tenten was walking to her apartment when she heard someone yelling her name. She then saw a dash of pink run up to her.
"Oi, Tenten where are you going?" asked Sakura.
Tenten smiled. She had become close to Sakura because they were both in love with moody prodigies.
"I am going home. I had a very tiring day." Tenten said.
"Oh Tenten," Sakura said. "Don't be said. All relationships have their bumpy patches. Sauske and I went through ours for almost two years and we are still strong as ever."
'Does everyone know that we broke up?'
"Sakura, how did yo--" Tenten said as Sakura cut her off.
"Hold that thought Tenten. I was supposed to meet Sauske at the Ichikaru fifteen minutes ago. We can talk later! Bye Tenten." Sakura said as she ran off towards the ramen restaurant.
"BYE SAKURA." Tenten yelled out and she got a small wave from Sakura whose figure was disappearing into the distance.
This day was very busy. Tenten had seen friends and missed training. What was even more ready was that Neji skipped training to search for her. She was almost home when she saw Hinata. And it looked like she was waiting for someone.
"Hello, Tenten-sama." Hinata said as she gave a formal bow.
"Hi Hinata. How many times do I have to tell you to call me Tenten? We have been friends for so long now!" Tenten exclaimed.
"Ok, Tenten." Hinata said as she smiled at her.
"The real reason I am here is that I wanted to invite you to dinner at my house today." Hinata said.
"Dinner. At your house?" Tenten asked.
Hinata nodded.
A million thoughts flew in Tentens head. She would finally formally meet Nejis family. He was not very talkative about his family. And she had always wondered how his family was like.
"Um, sure Hinata. But I must ask, why?" Tenten asked.
"Oh, well it was my little sister Hanabi that wanted to invite you first. She said that Kohana could maybe see that you and Neji were getting over your breakup." Hinata said. "Bye Tenten. My father does not like it when I leave the compound for random things."
Tenten stood in the dust wondering how in the world Hinata who was one of the most shyest person in all of Kohana knew about her breakup.
She walked into her apartment and flicked on the lights. It was a small apartment, but it was cozy and it felt like home the first moment she walked in. There were two bedrooms and one bath. A very yellow kitchen and a breakfast area. She walked into the family room. And sat on one of the comfy bean bags.
Somewhere, she could feel this eerie feeling that something was wrong. Her eyes scanned the surroundings.
Black lamp: check
Blue rug: check
Lime green bean bag: check
Maroon coffee table: check
Angry white eyed prodigy: check
Boom box: check
Wait… she did not remember getting an angry white eyed prodigy as a decoration.
And then it clicked.
"Hi, Neji…" Tenten croaked out to the very angry looking boy.
