The air was chilly when she got to the park. Looking around, she saw that no one was there. Hurridly, she sat down on the bench facing a lake. She took out her book; the cover was made out of silk in a rich, maroon colour. She found the page she stopped reading at previously and wrapped her jacket around herself tightly.

"Tenten," a voice came from in front of her. She looked up from her book; it was a fairy tale. Sleeping Beauty to be exact. She was reading it since, well, it was on top of her dresser, and she was bored at the moment.

Sleeping Beauty was one of her favourite fairy tales. Not because they lived happily ever after at the end, but because of how the story showed that true love could defeat anything. 'I wish I was Sleeping Beauty.' She sighed. She was a NINJA, dammit! Why couldn't she be born as a princess or something? 'Wait, I like being a ninja better.'

The girl, lost in her thoughts, unconciously looked back to her book, forgetting the person before her. The Prince looked at her.

"Tenten," the voice sounded impatient. He breathed out her name, for he had heard the fairies say it many times.

When she didn't answer, the owner of the voice strolled next to her ear, saying in a low, chilly whisper, "Tenten." But she didn't wake up. Instead, she seemed dead.

Startled, Tenten glared at the person next to her. "Neji," she seethed out, "why are you disturbing me when I'm reading?" He tried many times, but each failed...

Said person looked at the cover of her book. Until he heard something like a whisper...

"Sleeping Beauty?" He sounded suprised. in the room, saying to him...

She nodded. "What's wrong with that?" telling him to...

"Nothing." His face showed no emotion, but inside, something was bugging him. Kiss her.

She shrugged. "Ok, then." She went back to reading. He took a deep breath,

"Tenten." looked at the princess sleeping on the bed,

"Yes?" leaned in,

"Close your eyes and put down the book." closed his eyes,

When she did, she felt something on her lips. and kissed her.

Her eyes flew open. 'W-wha?' The princess stirred, opened her eyes,

He took a step back with a smirk. and looked at the person in front of her.

"Why'd you do that?" her cheeks were red and her eyes were looking everywhere except at Neji. "Who are you, and what did you do?" she asked him. Blue eyes gazed into brown ones.

He didn't answer. He didn't say anything,

She looked at him, then realising that the smirk that use to be there was replaced by a faint red on his face. At once she knew she met him before.

"Sleeping Beauty." Then he walked away.

Tenten smiled. She smiled.

My Prince.

Er. Yeah.
