NejixTen time!

Don't like the pairing?

Don't read it.

And most definetly, don't review it.

I do not own Naruto.

Ha ha suckers, Neji Hyuga thought, as he watched his four friends stalk off in the directions of their tutoring rooms. All of them have to get tutored. Geez, school isn't that hard.

He almost started laughing aloud at the memory of Sasuke's face when Iruka-sensei had told him tutoring had become necessary.

Suddenly, he ran into a body.

"Oh, sorry," said a feminie voice. Neji looked down to see a girl with brown hair and huge, brown eyes staring up at him. "I wasn't looking where I was going."

"Oh, no," Neji countered. "It was my fault, I was laughing in my head."

What? Why the hell would you say something like that? Idiot!

The girl giggled, and he suddenly recognized her as Tenten. She was in his French class, and actually very intelligent. She was friends with the loudmouth cheerleader, the pink-haired basektball player, and his cousin, the shy volleyball star. She was Tenten, the star of the soccer team for the past year or so.

"I'll see you around then, Neji," Tenten said, and continued walking forward.

He realized that she was heading towards the Band room, and remembered something else about the girl. She was in Band, and was an amazing flute player, while Neji himself was first chair saxophone.

After a split second, Neji followed her.

Health is stupid anyways, he thought.

When Neji finally reached the Band room (stupid Middle School twerps, getting in my way...) Tenten had disappeared into a practice room. He noted which one it was, then went and unpacked his saxophone.

"Neji? Coming to practice?" questioned Raidou, looking up from his grade book.

"Hn," Neji replied, slipping the sling over his head.

"Skipping Health?" Raidou chuckled, as Neji made his way over to the practice room that was beside Tenten's.

"Kabuto is a moron," was all Neji said, before slipping into the room.

Neji quickly breezed through the scales, as an oh-so easy warm-up. He could hear Tenten's flute singing just beyond the wall he leaned against. She was practicing her solo in their newest piece of music. Neji closed his eyes and envisioned her fingers flying over the silver of the flute. In his mind's eyes, she was concentrating deeply, but occasionally closing her (amazingly beautiful) brown eyes and simply flowing with the music.

She paused for a second, and he knew she was counting the rests that the flute soloist had, while the sax soloist played.

The elder Hyuuga smirked, then raised his saxophone to his lips and played the part, having already memorized the piece. He closed his pearly eyes, enjoying the music, a smile eding it's way onto his lips, even has he played. When he paused, Tenten's flute sang back at him. And he sang back.

They played back and forth for almost a half an hour, before Neji finally stood up and walked over to Tenten's practice room. He glanced into the window and saw her seated, straight backed, arms raised gracefully. Her flute glittered in her dark hands, and her eyes were closed. Her body gently rocked with the music, her left foot tapping against her right ankle, marking her beat.

When he opened the door, she jumped about a mile, and almost fell out of her chair.

"Sorry," he apologized, as she scrambled to collect herself. "I didn't mean to scare you."

Tenten sighed, after finally regaining her balance, and set her flute in her lap.

"It's all right," she said, and glanced up at him, grinning. "It's not every day that Hyuuga Neji walks into your practice room, after playing back and forth for...how long?"

Neji smirked. "About thirty minutes."

Tenten nodded, smiling. She tapped her fingers against her flute, and Neji noticed how, when she wasn't playing, Tenten was almost jittery. She made small, endless movements, like tapping her fingers, rearranging her posture, just moving.

"You play wonderfully," he complimented. Tenten blinked her large, brown eyes at him, and then smiled.

"My mother taught me," she said, and then inclined her head. "You're not so bad yourself, you know, for a sax player."

Neji raised an eyebrow. "My father taught Hinata and I."

Tenten smiled at his cousin's name.

"Ah, yes, poor Hinata," she said, shaking her head. "She's stuck tutoring Naruto how to read and comprehend."

"She'll be there for hours," Neji agreed.

They laughed together. Neji realized how much he actually liked Tenten's laugh. It was light and merry, and utterly calm, like her, when she played her flute.

"Have you ever been to my house before?" Neji asked, leaning against the closed door.

"A few times," she replied, examining her nails. "Usually, we go over to either Ino's or Sakura's."

Neji made a questioning face.

"Hinata complains that she spends more than half of her life there," Tenten explained. "What with all the meetings and such that she has to attend. She usually begs to go someplace, rather than stay home."

She paused for a moment, and then looked up into Neji's eyes. She grinned.

"But I'd rather go to your house," she said. "You have the best snackage."

Neji blinked several times at her term for food.

"Snackage?" he repeated.

"Yes, snackage," Tenten responded, and began to pack up her flute. "That is my word."

Neji chuckled.

"I like it," he said. "Snackage."

Tenten laughed at the way he rolled the word across his tongue, almost as if he were testing improper English on his mouth. She had always labeled him as a sort of prick, kind of uptight and proper, but, after playing music, Neji actually seemed like a nice person, and Tenten was suddenly reminded of how she had always had a bit of a crush on Hinata's cousin.

Things suddenly became awkward for Tenten, and she became jittery again. Neji watched her suddenly nervous movements with interest, and stepped closer.

"Are you scared of me?" he asked, suddenly. Tenten looked at him, raising an eyebrow.

"Should I be?" she replied, calmly.

Neji took another step, so he was right before her. She had to look up to see his face.

"Maybe," he answered.

And he kissed her.

Tenten's flute clattered to the ground, but she didn't seem to care. After recovering from the initail shock that Hyuuga Neji was kissing her, Tenten seemed to enjoy herself. She kissed him back, resting a hand on his shoulder, and wrapping the other around his neck, beneath his long hair. Neji had one hand braced on the chair Tenten sat in, but the other caressed her face, gently.

"Um," Tenten said, when they finally pulled back. "That was unexpectedly nice."

Neji smirked, and kissed her again.

"Music changes a person," he whispered.

Because Neji can't be tutored!

And Sasuke can because I despise Sasuke...most of the time.

Seriously!?

What is with Sasugay having his Sharingan activated the whole time.

Jesus.

Anyhoo...

Review?
