Once out of Tsunade's office, Neji made his way back to Tenten's hospital room, thinking that he'd leave the letters there so that when she woke up, she could read them. He opened the door to find Tenten sitting up, looking tired, but nonetheless, awake. Her head turned as she heard the door open, and smiled brightly at Neji as he walked toward her.
"I thought you were sleeping," Neji said, pulling up a chair, and sitting down next to her bed.
"Not really. I woke up about five minutes ago, and can't go back to sleep," she paused here, for a moment, then said:
"Neji? what happened back there after I fainted?" Neji, feeling that his day had been long enough without a huge story to end it all, said:
"I took care of it." Tenten looked at him, curiosity tinting in her eyes.
"Care to elaborate?"
"Not really; it's been a long day."
"I hear ya." The two sat in silence for a few moments before Tenten looked at Neji, eyes sparkling, and said:
"Thank you, Neji… if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be here right now." Neji looked at her, his pearl eyes staring hard at her.
"That's not true; you're a strong fighter, I think, had you not been so tired that you could have beaten him in a true battle." Tenten raised her eyebrows; was the Hyuga Neji complimenting her on her fighting skills? Wow. I guess miracles do happen, Tenten thought. She saw something in Neji's hands, and asked him what it was. He placed the letters from Matt, Kari, and Kohaku on her bed. Smiling slightly, she took the letters, and as she looked at them, her smile grew.
"Aw, that's so sweet," she said as she turned to the last page. In a corner was something scribbled by Matt; she moved the paper closer to her eyes since the handwriting was very tiny. The note said: Tenten, I know that Neji, really, really likes you, but I'm still waiting for an answer about the question I asked you about you being my girlfriend, so if you're not too busy, write to me and give me an answer please!
Tenten took one look at the note, and burst into giggles, falling back against her pillows. Neji looked at her, once before taking the paper into his own hands, and read what he saw Tenten was peering so closely at. He felt his face turn red, as he looked over the note. Tenten's laughter grew softer, and she peered toward Neji who set the papers back down, trying to hide his reddened cheeks.
"Uh, Neji?" Neji looked up at her, trying to maintain his usual stoic self. He shook his head, and got up, heading toward the door.
"See ya tomorrow, then? Training at the usual time?" Tenten called from her bed. He nodded, and replied with a "Hn,"closing the door behind him. Tenten stiffled a giggle, as she thought to herself: I'd like to be your girlfriend, Matt, but someone else has already found a place in my heart…before drifting off into a deep sleep.
A/N: yeah, I know, I know. The last thought from Tenten was really cheesy, but i needed 2 get this done, just cause it was bothering me- ya know? anyway, g2g! c u guys!
