A/N~ Hey there folks! I'm back with another chapter! I hope you'll enjoy reading this. I can honestly say that this is the best idea I've had for a NejiTen story. Hahah (: anyways, I'll let you read now. Enjoy, my darlings!

Neji's POV.

Chocolate brown eyes.

Chocolate brown hair.

Her chocolate brown eyes and hair.

Her hair was up in a single bun, and her bangs were over her face.

Her dress was simple.

White with lavender.. like my eyes.

As soon as I bumped into her, and heard her voice, I couldn't get her off my mind.

"Hey Neji." Shikamaru, my roommate and best friend greeted me as I walked in the door to our room.

He was laying on one of the beds close to the left wall. The bottom one at that.

"Hey Shikamaru." I replied, and sat down on a chair close to the window. Her cabin was just down the hall from ours.. maybe I could go ask for her name..

"Something troublin' you?" Shikamaru asked suddenly. He seemed bored. Like always.

"Huh? ..no. Everything's fine." I said quietly.

"yeah, yeah, whatever. Look, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine, but don't say it's nothin', cause I know you too well to believe that."

I sighed. Of course he would say that. "Well.. I bumped into this girl just now.." I trailed off.

Shikamaru didn't seem very interested, but asked "What's her name?" anyways.

I sighed. "I didn't ask her."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Well, where did you see her?"

"Just don't the hall.. I think her cabin is around the 920's or something." I said, then I remembered the little kid calling her.

He had said Tenten. She had responded.

Tenten..

"Hey, wait.. I think I do know her name.." I said.

"Well?" Shikamaru asked. His eyebrow raised.

"Tenten." I said slowly.

"Tenten..?" he asked.

"Yeah.. I think." I frowned at the last two words.

"What do you mean, 'I think'?" he questioned.

"When I walked away, she was just standing there, and this kid came to her. He said 'Hey Tenten!' and she replied.."

"So, then Tenten's her name. Kinda weird, huh.. So, what does she look like?" Shikamaru asked, getting up into a sitting position.

Strangely, I smiled. "She's.. different."

"Different how? Does she have an extra eye at the top of her head?" Shikamaru asked sarcastically. He was smirking.

"Ha-ha. Very funny, but no. Her eyes.. they're a soft chocolate brown, as is her hair, which was tied up into a single bun. Her dress was white and lavender. Simple, but she made it look good. Her skin's flawless. Her smile sweet and radiant." I closed my eyes for a second, and imagined her in front of me. Waving, and smiling. My face heated up.

"Damn, Neji. I think you fell in love." he scoffed. I opened my eyes. The image of Tenten disappeared, only to be replaced by the small cabin room.

I blushed when I heard his remark. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, you talk about her like she's some angel who just happened to bump into you." he paused. "huh.. then again, maybe it was just meant to be." I looked at him with my best 'What the hell?' look.

"Don't look at me like that. You know I'm right. You're thinking the same thing." he smirked.

I rolled my eyes.

"C'mon. Both of us know I'm right."

"..."

"Admit it." he said, laying back down, and closing his eyes.

"..."

"C'mon, Neji. Admit it. You fell for that 'Eighteight girl."

"Tenten." I corrected absentmindedly.

"See? What more proof do you need?"

"but, I don't even know who she is.. I merely bumped into her, and apologized, as did she."

Shikamaru sighed. "but you can't stop thinking about her.."

"yeah, so what?" I raised my eyebrow.

Shikamaru sighed. "Nothin'"

At that moment, a bell rang.

It was 12:00 P.M. Time to set sail.

"C'mon, Lazy-ass. Let's go say bye."

"Say bye to who?" Shikamaru groaned.

"Hmm.. your dad and your mom, maybe?"

"Oh.. right. I forgot they were out there.." Shikamaru groaned again.

"..How could you forget?" I asked incredulously.

"I dunno.. I just did." he shrugged.

"..."

"...?"

I sighed. C'mon. Let's go." I said, standing up, and pulling him along.

"Can't I sleep?" he glared at me.

"No. Your parents want to say good-bye to their little baby. Let's not make them wait." I said smirking. Shikamaru shot a 'Shut the hell up' kind of glare towards my direction. I ignored it.

You don't really care about Shikaku, and Yoshino. It's not because of them that you want to go out there.

...what are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about

...no I don't.

Yeah you do. You only want to see that Tenten girl you met before.

..I-I don't know what your talking about.

Yes you do. You like her.

..Stop talking nonsense.

It's not nonsense. You really do like her.

How can I like someone I don't know anything about?

Ever heard of 'Love at first sight?'

...Yeah, but I'm not sure that applies right now.

Oh? And why not? What's so different about this case?

..Everything..

Starting withhhh?

..I don't feel like explaining myself.

That's just because you can't find a valid reason.

..This conversation is over.

Okay, okay.. but only for now. Ha.

"You okay, Neji?" Shikamaru asked. He was now walking on his own.

"Yeah.. just thinking.."

"About?" his tone seemed bored. We were walking right were, just a few minutes ago, I had met her.

Tenten.

"..Stuff.." I replied annoyed.

"Yeah, right.. stuff.. hey, isn't that the girl you were talking about?" he pointed towards a small group of people. I searched for her, but failed to find her.

"Where?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Not there, genius. There." he moved my head to the left.

I caught sight of her.

Her beautiful eyes were looking down, her cheeks flushed. She looked.. sad.

Why?

We were now on the sky deck, where everyone was saying good-bye to their friends and family members. With the big crowd, I lost sight of her.

"Good bye- aunt Kami! We'll miss you!" the little kid who had called Tenten before yelled. He was standing on the railing, looking down.

"Yahiro, calm down.. not so loud!" another lady behind him scowled.

"But mom, if I don't yell, Aunt Kami won't hear me!" the boy, Yahiro, said. Quite loudly, I might add.

His mother sighed, and then looked around. "Yahiro, where is your sister?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Tenten? She wasn't feeling well, so she went back to the cabin."

She wasn't feeling well? Could she be sick? Well, that would explain the flushed cheeks and the sad face..

"Hey, Yahiro!" a male voice came through the crowd.

Yahiro's face lit up. "Kiba! Akamaru!" he said happily.

"What's up, little man?" the guy had spiky brown hair, and was a little shorter than me. He had a small white dog with him. He seemed to notice something, or someone was missing. "Hey, where's Tenten?"

"She went back to the cabin. She wasn't feeling well."

"Ohh yeah! I was wondering.. what cabin number did you guys get?"

"924." Tenten's mom answered.

"Dammit! I was hoping we would at least be on the same hall.."

"Well, what cabin did you guys get?" Tenten's mom asked.

"We got 965, and 966. Hana got her own room, but she's sharing with the dogs." he explained.

I wasn't listening anymore.

Cabin 924. Just 15 doors down from ours.

She was alone.. right now.

Wait, WHAT? No.. that sounded.. perverted.

Ha! I couldn't be more proud! Now, go get her, tiger!

...What the hell are you saying?

Just limit yourself to get to her room and talk to her. Now!

..But why?

Just do it! Pronto!

..sigh.. fine!

And before I knew it, I was in front of her room.

Ok. You've made it this far. Now, all you've got to do is knock!

..right.

My hand balled into a fist. I raised it, determination dominating my mind.

Determination... to get to know her. To befriend her.

I raised my fist, ready to knock, when all of a sudden..

The door opened.

A/N~ O: what will happen next? Oh god.. even I want to know xD hahahaha

anyways, I'm so glad I got this out.. I was so anxious to! I hope y'all like it!
