An Introduction

"Sorry, I'm late! I had to pick up my kunais and shurikens. Then when I was on my way here, an old lady asked me to help carry her groceries and her house is on the opposite side of Konoha and well I, well sorry." Tenten said in a rush. We were to meet at 6:30 am, she arrived three and a half hours late.

"Let's spar now. I don't need to hear excuses. The jounin exams are in a month and you need to train." I got ready in my fighting stance. I activated my Byakugan.

"Um Neji? I uh"

"We don't have time for chit chat. Ready yourself or prepare to be beaten." this is the only way that she can get herself fired up.

"Oh yeah, let's see about that!" Tenten said as she took out her scroll and summoned a katana about a yard long.

She charged towards me, but she did not use her sword. Countless numbers of kunais flew out of both her sleeves. But I manage to dodge all but four. Two went through my left sleeve, drawing a unsignificant amount of blood. One, cut a lock of my hair which flew in the wind and the last one cut my ankle.

I smiled, after all these years, she barely gotten a scratch on me but today she gotten four.

"How bout that?!" she gave me an ear to ear smile with the ' v for victory ' sign. I chuckled and deactivated my Byakugan. But suddenly she passed out.

"Tenten?!" I took her in my arms and shook her. She didn't open her eyes. I activated my Byakugan once more to check her vital signs. Her heartbeat was faint but steady. I checked her again. It looked like she was bleeding internally around her liver and lungs.

My heart skipped a beat and I got up and carried Tenten to the hospital.

"Hello, Neji-san. What brings you to the hospital?" asked Sakura. Can she not she the unconscious Tenten that I am carrying?!

"Oh! Tenten! Neji-san! Did you make her train too hard?!"

"Well we were training and she fainted, wait! I don't need to explain myself to you!" I said angrily. How dare she acuse me of harming Tenten purposely. "I checked her already. She seems to be bleeding internally."

"Gomen Neji-san. I'll check her in. Go to room 214 and lay her down on the bed. You can stay in the room with her." I nodded.

I walked down the hall and saw room 214 located on the left.

The room was small and the bed was also small. The walls were painted a gloomy purple instead of the usual clean white. I laid her down on the bed.

'I am so sorry, Tenten. Did I do this to you? What happened?" I tucked some hairs out of her face and behind her ears. "Tenten."

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!!!" I turned around and saw that the door was crashed through and that Gai-sensei and Lee were standing in the doorway with smiles that could blind you and peace signs.

"Tenten-chan?! Neji! What did you do to Tenten?" Gai screamed.

"Gai-sensei! I don't think that Neji-kun is unyouthful enough to do such an atrocious action!"

"Why does everyone think that I hurt her? She fainted when we were training." I screamed.

"Settle down." I turned around once more. It was a short, balding man with a nametag that read, 'Dr. Mirano' "Everyone, I will alert you when I find out what happened to this girl but I need you guys to get out!" he said as he pushed us out of the broken doorway.

I walked out silently with my head facing the ground. The streets of Konoha were busy with villagers. I walked continuously not caring about my surroundings. I bumped into someone and I looked up.

I was a maid from manor. "Neji-sama, Hiashi says for you to comeback to the compound right now."

"Of course." I walked towards the manor thinking 'what does he want now?' I walked in and saw that the entire clan was in the lobby, waiting for me.

HIashi spoke in a booming voice "Neji, may I present to you Koyamura Sayomi...

Authoress' Notes: I know it's been two days and I haven't updated. Every weekend, I go to a science centre for gifted students which is located in the country.

I know this chapter is pretty sucky but I rushed for your guy's pleasure. Please review. This chapter might be revised when I think of something better. Another short chapter I know.
