Chapter Two: Tears of Sorrow

Tenten arrived to her social studies class with Asuma.

She saw Hinata and waved at her, "Hey HINATA!"

Hinata looked up and smiled, "Hey Tenten."

"ARGH. That Neji bastard. HE'S MAKING ME MISS THE GIRL'S BASKETBALL TRYOUTS!!!!"

"Really? I thought today was only the boy's basketball tryouts," Hinata looked confusingly at Tenten.

"Huh?" Tenten stopped complaining and thought back. "OH YEAH! It is. Heheheheh," Tenten sweatdropped and chuckled slightly.

Neji walked in and sat at his desk, which is now in front of Tenten. 'Great. First behind me and now in front of me?! What are you doing to me?!'

Neji heard Tenten groan and he smirked. "Why? Embarrassed that your "boyfriend" is sitting in front of you? Or do you feel unworthy that you're sitting behind me?"

"What?!" Tenten picked up her head and glared at him. Neji smirked amusingly at Tenten's face.

"You heard me," Neji retorted but smirked at the same time.

"Argh! I had it with you!" Tenten made her last remark and then looked up at the classroom crossing her arms.

Neji chuckled mentally. 'She acts like a whining baby. Heheheh,' Neji looked at her pouting face. 'She's hilarioius.'

"OKAY CLASS! CLASS BEGINS!" Asuma-sensei announced.

As the clock was ticking, Tenten yawned with boredom. 'Come on…10 more minutes…' Tenten tapped her pen on the desk repeatingly.

Neji got annoyed by Tenten's fidgeting. "Shut up," Neji gritted his teeth.

Tenten smirked at his annoyed face. She tapped the pen more. 'Hah! Take that pupiless bastard!'

Neji had a vein popping out of his head. 'Argh. Come down. 5 more minutes. 5 more minutes. Think of a happy place…a happy place.'

5 mintues passed like THAT! SNAP!

'FINALLY!' Tenten shouted out mentally. She ran out of class and went to Guy sensei's class. GYM. 'Ah gym, my favorite class!' Tenten zipped and zoomed down the hallways trying to avoid Neji.

"I made it!" Tenten huffed and puffed. "Ah, what's good? I'm early, it's my favorite class, and the best is NEJI'S NOT HERE! What can possibly go wrong?" Tenten smiled.

"Me," Neji said from behind.

"AHHHHHHHH! NEJI YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!" Tenten yelled with a tomato-red face.

"Tch. It's your fault you're like this," Neji crossed his arms again amused and entertained.

Tenten gritted her teeth and just stomped away. 'Heheheh. Neji prepare to die,' Tenten thought evilly.

'What is that girl grinning about?' Neji thought absentmindedly. 'Whatever.'

After everyone changed,…."OK GUYS! LINE UP FOR THE POWER OF YOUTH IS HEREEEE!!!!"

Everyone sweat dropped and groaned.

"Seriously this guy has problems," Tenten whispered to herself.

Neji, who was next to her, heard what she said and smirked.

"AHHH GUY-SENSEI!" The black bowl-cut haired dude yelled out.

"AHH LEE!" Guy-sensei yelled back.

"GUY-SENSEI!" Lee shouted out.

"LEE!" Guy-sensei called back.

'Ok….this is getting so gay and weird. I'm going to walk away now,' Tenten thought looking at them very weirdly.

They went on like this for a few minutes when Tenten had it.

"GAHHH WHAT KIND OF TEACHER ARE YOU?!?! WE'RE WASTING 10 MINUTES OF PRECIOUS TIME BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR IDIOTIC APPEARANCE!!!" Tenten belted out her lungs and threw her shurikens at them.

But of course they barely dodged but missed an inch. Guy-sensei coughed and yelled out, "10 LAPS AROUND THE FIELD!"

'Finally!' Tenten started running.

While Neji thought, 'What a weird girl.' And started to run after her.

After the 9th lap, she was going to her last. Now the field of Konoha High is HUGE!!! 10 laps might not seem a lot to prodigies like Sasuke and Neji, but 10 laps at Konoha High is like…..40 laps around the whole school!

Tenten was already panting and Neji was right next to her. 'Byakugan!' Neji thought as he activated his kenkei genkaii. Neji smirked, "Looks like somebody is getting tired."

Tenten glared at the corner of her eye. "Nobody..a-asked…you," Tenten gasped for air while wiping her sweat on her forehead.

"Let's make…a deal then," Neji also gasped for breath.

Tenten looked at him interestingly. "I'm listening."

"First one to finish this last lap wins. If I win…you got to do everything I say for this week so far," Neji wiped his forehead.

"And if I win..?" Tenten said.

"Heh. Who cares? You're gonna lose. I could see your fate with these eyes," Neji smirked at her.

"Let's see about that…if I win…I'll think about it," Tenten sprinted forward past Neji.

"HEY! I didn't say you could start!" Neji shouted angrily at her.

"YOU NEVER SAID THAT!" Tenten called back from behind. "LET'S SEE IF YOUR EYES ARE RIGHT!"

"Argh," Neji sprinted forward so he was right next to her.

The people behind them panted and stopped, "How can they both still run like..that? They're…c-crazy!"

Tenten and Neji ran and ran trailing a trail of dust behind. "ARGHH!" They both grunted and ran only a few yards away from the finish line.

'Shoot! I won't make it!...wait I have an idea…heheheh,' Tenten thought evilly.

Neji looked at Tenten's face, 'W-What is she thinking about?'

Tenten thought, 'Wait…wait just a little more…' When she was a few yards away she stuck her leg out in front of Neji.

Neji felt a force down in the leg. He looked down and tripped over her feet.

While Neji landed flat on his face, Tenten passed the line. "YES I DID IT! I DID IT!"

"HEY YOU CHEATED!" Neji shouted angrily and her.

"Nooo. FYI, you never said anything about tripping so I won. Get-the-picture? I guess your Byakugan isn't all good after all," Tenten explained while smirking.

Neji glared at her with fire in his eyes and grabbed her shoulders roughly.

"H-Hey! W-What a-are you d-doing?! T-That h-hurts!" Tenten stuttered with surprisement.

"Don't you EVER insult the Byukagan! UNDERSTAND?!?" Neji gritted his teeth and giving Tenten the scariest look he can make.

Tenten shivered with fear and pushed him, "GET AWAY YOU JERK!" Tenten ran off.

Neji looked at her direction and looked at his hands. 'What did I do back there? Tch whatever.'

Tenten ran and put her hand on her chest, 'W-What h-happened back there? H-His eyes…were so s-scary.'

Tenten wiped her forehead and changed her school clothes.

"HEY TENTEN!" Ino and Sakura ran over to her.

"How's the bet?" Ino winked teasingly at her.

"It's so stupid. I mean we don't even act like we're boyfriend and girlfriend. I mean no one knows anyways," Tenten said while closing her eyes with annoyance.

"Doesn't seem like it," Sakura replied.

"What do you mean?" Tenten opened her eyes with curiosity.

"Oh nothing. Just the way Neji looks at you while you're not looking," Ino smirked at her.

"W-What are you talking about!" Tenten blushed slightly and stammered.

"Oh! Is that a blush we see Tenten?" Ino and Sakura pointed at her face.

"N-NO! I just came from gym and it's a little hot in here. I'll see you at lunch!" Tenten ran off while leaving Ino and Sakura chuckle slightly behind.

"FINALLY MADE IT WITH NO NEJI!" Tenten panted and was stopped by a voice.

"HEY! BUN-BUN GIRL! We need to talk!" An evil like voice called out to her.

Tenten slowly turned her head recognizing the voice, "Cho." Tenten glared at her and gritted her teeth.

"Who do you think you are for going out with NEJI!" Cho glared twice as harder at her.

----

A/N: Yes Neji has a fangirl club too like Sasuke does

----

"H-How do you know?!" Tenten widened her eyes.

"Oh us the Neji Fanclub has ways. Now answer me! Why are you going out with Neji?!" Cho almost shouted.

"Why should I tell you?" Tenten crossed her arms coolly.

"GRRR!" Cho fumed with anger and shoved her.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Tenten shouted.

"Heh. Just showing you whose boss. I know everything about you Tenten. You're whole directory," Cho smirked.

"What are you a stalker or something?" Tenten raised her eyebrow.

"What?! Never! Only to Neji! Anyway since we're part of the school council we have permission to know," Cho retorted back.

Tenten creased her eyebrows, "And why do you want my source of information?"

Cho chuckled evilly, "To use it for a perfect use. And right now it's the perfect time."

"SHUT-UP," Tenten grinded her teeth. "I could just kill you right now and I doubt your parents will miss you."

Cho scoffed, "I wouldn't be talking about parents if I was you. Since you don't have any."

Tenten widened her eyes and whispered, "How do you kno-"

"Your parents abandoned you, they didn't need to pathetic thing. They left you out alone in the cold, with no love. They acted like they loved you, but deep down they deceived you; they hated you," Cho continued.

Tenten's eyes blanked out with darkness and remembered.

Slap!

"You pathetic little wrench! How dare you ask that!" Her mother spat out to the little Tenten.

"M-Mommy?" Little Tenten's eyes watered with tears. "I just asked if you were happy with giving me all this stuff."

"ARGH! How dare you complain! We did everything for you and all you do is complain?! Didn't you know we weren't happy with this?! WE DIDN'T REALLY CARE!" Her mother screamed but her father pulled enough.

"Stop it. She's no use for screaming. She isn't worth it," her father's voice deepened.

Little Tenten cried with streams of tears run down her cheeks, "I-I'm sorry m-mamma, p-pappa. I'm s-so so s-sorry."

"No…" Tenten tears watered.

Everyone at lunch looked at their conversation.

"Heh. There you go crying like a baby. So weak," Cho spatter out the words like venom.

Neji came in and saw the whole commotion, "What's wrong?"

Naruto who was right next to Neji said, "Cho said stuff about her parents or something and now Tenten is crying."

"What?" Neji looked at Naruto and looked where Cho and Tenten were. He saw Tenten bend down hands on her ears like she's trying to block out something.

"Come on get up, wench," Cho yelled at her and then started to kick her.

Tenten just stood in that position and when Cho made another swing on her leg she was stopped by someone.

"N-Neji!" Cho exclaimed with a surprised face.

"W-Wha?" Tenten opened her teary eyes.

"Let's go Tenten. And you stop whatever you're saying to her," Neji glared angrily at Cho.

"B-But N-Neji I'm j-just teaching her a lesson for going out with yo-" Cho stuttered.

"I don't give a damn of you're excuses. LEAVE NOW! AND EVERYONE ELSE STOP STARING!" Neji barked with anger and put a gentle hand on Tenten's shaking shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Neji said with a soft voice.

Tenten looked up at Neji's concerned lavender eyes. But somehow she thought his eyes were mocking her. Tenten ran out of the door and went to the courtyard.

"Dammit!" Neji mumbled himself. And he went after her.

Tenten started sobbing quietly and ran wherever her legs went. She finally stopped at the courtyard; it was almost like a peaceful garden where students come to relax.

Tenten's tears kept pouring out of her glassy orbs and tried to block out her parents' voices.

"We never needed you. Good-bye…"

Tenten crouched down with pain in her heart and mind. She shooked with pain and squeezed her eyes shut.

She then felt a gentle hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see who it was.

It was Neji and he whispered, "Tenten…"

Tenten shook off his hand and shook her head, "No, no, no, no. Please go away. Please…please…please…no more pain…no more."

Neji looked at Tenten with sadness in his eyes. 'Why does she make me feel so…guilty? Why does she make me feel this way? Why can't I read her like I can with other people? What is this feeling?'

Neji brought out his shaky hand to touch her again, but stopped. He paused and then was about to walk away.

He then felt a tug and he looked down.

"No…I was lying please don't go…I don't…I-I don't want to be alone again…please Neji?" Tenten spoke in a quiet voice.

Neji crouched down to her level and sat down next to her. "I won't go. Don't worry."

Tenten looked up a little with her still teary eyes.

Neji pained when looking into her eyes. 'Her eyes look so empty now…there's no sunlight in them like they're usually are…' But his thoughts was interrupted by Tenten's small voice.

"Neji…it hurts…it hurts so much…why does she have to…bring these painful memories again?...why….why…no more….no more pain…" Tenten kept murmuring and Neji couldn't take it anymore.

Neji embraced her with his warm arms and held her tightly.

"N-Neji w-hat are you doi-" Tenten blushed furiously.

"Shh…you said you didn't want anymore pain right? I'll take it all away…I'll take it all away with me. You don't have to be alone anymore," Neji whispered quietly in her ear.

Tenten widened her teary eyes and then smiled a little.

"P-Promise?"

"Promise…"
