Chapter 4: The worse is yet to come(TWIYTC)
Every ordinary days have their own extraordinary ways.
But the sense of being extraordinary for Amamiya Tenten doesn't include aliens, vespers, time travelers, monsters, saiyans, flying pigs, fire-breathing dragon, fairy godmothers, talking cats…etc. (you get the drill) rather an emotionless prince topped with trouble and chaos like a syrup to an ice cream.
And when did Tenten say she like ice cream? In this case she liked it very much…NOT.
--.--
Tenten sighed for the umpteenth time. Her life is practically Over with the capital O. Add to the drama that the cause of all the humilities, of all the suffering in her life is sitting by her side—looking like he's having all the time in his own block-headed world. His pretty thick headed hair doesn't even realize that merely his presence destroys her once peaceful world, justified by the random bone chilling glares and such.
'Insensitive Jerk, pervert!' Tenten muttered to herself while madly scratching the neck of her drawing. Guess who? The chibified-stupid monster-err prince, complete with six rows of shark teeth, Pinocchio nose, elf ears and two dots for an eye. Her mouth formed a sadistic grin as her she pierced the poor paper away, one throught the eye, one through the heart, 'Take that! And this! And that!' Her maniacal fantasy however was ended only when a piece of folded paper was passed by to her side, another death threat? She sighed. Despite the weirdness of it all she actually humors herself with the 'sweet' nothings her classmates gladly offer her via death notes. For example, this one: (she opened the letter)
I'm not having the time in the world and I do realize I'm causing chaos to your world as you are doing to mine.
P.S. I'm not an insensitive jerk, a pervert nor a block-headed idiot, just to let you know.
Tenten gaped in response, she felt her cheeks heating up either from embarrassment or the need to pound something hard to the floor. "Cocky jerk!" She mouthed whilst glaring holes to the long haired bishie sitting beside her. Too immensed with her own anger she never realized a pair of pearl eyes discreetly staring at her in amusement.

Since the start of her hell a.k.a the day when the prince came to town, Tenten's daily normal activities changed. Before it was like go to school, listen to lectures, eat lunch with friends, listen to lectures again, participate in club activities and then go home. She had always been a wallflower yet she didn't mind the spot light like when she won the Taekwondo Championships. This time however different type of activities has been included like some games she learned to play: Dodge the fans, Catch me if you can, Cat fight, Lie your head off and her favorite: the prince does not exist game. Warning: Never try these games at home they're the least enjoyable to play. And all of the stress was already taking the toll on her. Like she had become numb from all the attention she's been getting since stepping to school and as far as her doorstep at home. It wouldn't be unusual if one of these days she'd literally blow off.
Too many circumstances, they would say. Too many evidences. Her mind wandered back to whatever happened last time…the detention. She was only grateful that Ino and Sakura kept their mouths shut and the prince still acts like a spoiled-brat prince. Good news ne?... not. The Kill Witch fan club (formerly known Neji fanclub extension, changed their name the day Tenten appeared), KW for short, somehow got the spoofs and actually uses this to threaten, goad and as far as mock Tenten with their suddenly acquired knowledge.
Not only that, there will always be time they'd end up sitting on top of the other. Like the time when she fell off the stairs, luckily she landed on someone, unluckily in the stupid prince's arms. And the time she climbed all the top of the tree, she fell..yep you guessed it right…into Neji's arms. Even just by bumping each other and such. It's already too many to count. She could never imagine just how high the fans' anger for her is now.
Sigh…someone above must have hated her.
--.--
The bell began to sound like sweet music to Tenten's ears more and more each day. It signals the end of the day and she was only a bit too happy to skip out of this school. She doesn't even wait for her best friends anymore to avoid more ruckus. After the class had fully bowed to the teacher save the brat (you know who it is), Tenten quickly arranged her books before placing the subject notebooks needed for their assignments in her bag. And lastly gathering the remains of the paper she had previously poured her feelings on. The wind picked up one of her drawings carrying it, unnoticed by Tenten, to the one beside her. Float, float, float. It landed like a silent butterfly directly on the center of the prince's desk as if a mockery done by fate. Tenten noticed it all too late, the prince already picked it up and for a single moment amusement passed over his features as Tenten stared out in horror.
"Nice drawing you got there." He scoffed more than complimented her imaginative drawing. "By the way, I do not have that large teeth, and my nose is not that big." He smirked as leaned over for emphasis. Tenten's face heated up. He leaned over just to say that, of course she knew that the drawing was for exaggeration! He smirked once again as he noticed the quick change of her facial appearance from sudden shock to the curious then to the angry rage that seemed to paste on her face whenever she sees him.
"Listen here buddy if you—" Tenten started yet she was not able to continue her supposed to be long speech, mind ask? The fans are there of course, ready to pounce, ready to fight and ready to kick her ass.
She took some air in. Relax. Inhale. Exhale. "Let's settle this once and for all." She placed her hands on her hips (her trademark pose). "What the hell is your problem anyway?"
Neji's eyebrows rose, the people inside the room looked more attentive than to Iruka-senseis lectures. It's as if a certain drama scene is unfolding right under their nose, starred by their Neji.
"My problem?"
"Yes, your problem. You should have stopped this stupid charade long ago! Tell them rumors aren't true and the hell I know anything about you! Telling them nothing's happening is much of an abominable task for you?" Her hands flew over to the curious onlookers and fans alike. Yes she knew that she was babbling, but all of the emotion's finally getting on her nerves and judging by her impudent mouth she couldn't carry any longer.
His eyebrows rose higher. Interesting. Tenten narrowed her eyes at his smirk.
"You want me to tell them to stop?" Neji started, the amusement never leaving his face.
"Yes your highness, as your foolish brain might not be able to ponder on it I am humbly requesting your honor to at least help change whatever it is instilled in their poor minds so that they will not bother you or me again" She gritted out her response.
"Hn…" But I like the game. "You might be correct. I'd do that."
Tenten could dance in relief, she knew her denial is nothing compared to the prince's godly words. When he says stop it will really mean stop. And stop here generally means the rumors, frequently publishing her pictures in the school publication under their hate list(Staffs of the said publications all include Neji fans) and generally all the chaos. Too bad Tenten never knew it's all just starting.
"Only in one condition." Her grin faded off. The audience , who never moved from their position since the conversations started, was even more engrossed that ever.
"You will be my slave for as long as I am here."
The crowd gasped.
Neji smirked.
Tenten gaped.
…
…
…
"WHAT?!"
Boy an extraordinary way it is…she wanted to escape from trouble yet seems like trouble have certain affection for her.
Oh the irony…

A/N: Yes folks I'm alive...it's on a hiatus judging on my update… …I just don't know what to do anymore with this…oh and people I won't be doing the side pairings I had mentioned in my previous chapter. Tell me your views I'm on a writers block right now and updating doesn't mean I'm already out of it. Trust me I really don't know what to do anymore…

No Longer a ButterflyThanks
SnowCharms:Thank you for the advice but I won't really put that much thought on Tenten's activities and I might not consider the fact that she's a weapon mistress…I'm thinking of their environment as something more of a natural Japanese school, one that has no kunais or shurikens hidden in their thighs..xD though I think I might put archery on her list I'm sorry I don't think I'll be able to pass up to your standards but nevertheless thanks for the review If you only knew how much I appreciate your comment
Youndime16 Coming right now…xD
A big big big big hug to all of you! Thank you for the reviews! And the suggestions!
