Chapter 3

A month passed like this uneventfully. Tenten had taken to letting down her hair in the nursery after Neji was gone to work and she was done with the gardening. She would brush her hair in the nursery. Kaeda did not seem to mind. She loved playing with her mom's hair. That morning around 11:00 a.m.

Tenten went to the nursery fed Kaeda, played with her, read her a story, and sang her to sleep. After that Tenten did let her hair down and started brushing it. Neji walked in he was early from work today. They let him off work early because they changed his schedule at last minute. Not seeing Tenten downstairs in the kitchen, living, room, family, room, or outside in the garden he went upstairs.

This time he remembered to knock when he wanted to go into his room. No one answered so he opened the door. Tenten was no there. He slowly started to panic. What if someone had kidnapped Tenten and the baby? He kept telling himself not to panic they could be in the nursery. So just in case he decided to go check the nursery.

He also decided to tiptoe there in case the kidnappers were there so they would not hear him. When he was reaching the room he heard a voice singing a lullaby. He recognized it as Tenten's voice. She had a beautiful voice he thought. He should have stopped tiptoeing at that moment and walked normally the rest of the way. He should have knocked first. But he did not. He opened the door silently to find a singing Tenten brushing her hair. Neji was transfixed. Tenten had long hair that went up to her waist. It was a little curly. The curls were at the front sides of her hair.

The rest of the hair was wavy with a few curls here and there. Her hair looked like a mix between honey and copper color because of the sunlight in the room. Tenten heard a sharp intake of breath. She immediately turned around. She saw a transfixed Neji staring back at her. She was furious. She threw her hairbrush at him. "Get out Neji. I hate you" Tenten screamed at him. This was liked the incident of being caught naked all over again. Tenten this was ten times worse. Neji hurried out of the room readying him self to face Tenten's wrath.

He pondered if it was really worth it just seeing her hair. He ended up deciding that it was worth it even if she killed him for it. Tenten's screaming had woken up the baby. Hurriedly Tenten went to sleep the baby again. After a few minutes the baby was asleep so Tenten tied her hair back up. She at that moment hated herself for ever letting herself brush her hair when she was living in the same house as Neji.

She hated the fact that Neji had seen her hair. She hated it because it was showing Neji the side of a girl a normal girl who cared about the way her hair looked and how she looked. To Neji she was just his sparring partner. She was just his sparring partner. She always thought that she could never be more than that to him.

That is why she always kept her feelings to herself. She secretly liked him. She always did since the moment she met him. But she knew she would likely no ever even be considered his friend. She might as well just be another fan girl. Silently she prepared herself for Neji's disgusted silence and the cold shoulder she expected to get from him when she went downstairs. Silently she went down the stairs.
