Neji blushed as he thought about yesterday. Today, team Gai was meeting up to practice. Neji had come early, as usual.
When he arrived, he found that Tenten had come early as well. 'She probably still thinks she has to wake up this early, like I used to make her.' thought Neji. The long-haired boy walked up to the kuinochi.
He decided to surprise her. Neji walked up to Tenten's back. He grabbed a lock of her hair that was down, then tugged on it. Tenten immediately whipped around.
When Tenten turned to see what was tugging at her hair, Neji turned around to face her back once again. "Huh?" asked Tenten, confused. Neji tugged on her hair once again.
Tenten turned as Neji did the same. "Who's there?" she asked, taking out a kunai.
"Pikaboo" said Neji from behind Tenten. The girl whipped around. This time, Neji didn't.
"What was all that about?" asked Tenten.
"Just wanted to see if you were paying attention." said Neji.
The two stopped talking when two annoying voices entered their area. "Go youthfully faster!" screamed Gai's voice.
"I'm youthfully trying!" screamed the voice that belonged to Rock Lee.
Tenten giggled. "Same old, same old." she said.
A cloud of dust and green blurs stumbled to them, revealing to heavily panting buffoons. Rock Lee had almost reached Gai's height. The two recovered from their panting, and stood in front of Tenten and Neji.
"Okay, class! It's been quite a while sense we were last all together! Let's start by you all having a three way spar!" shouted Gai sensei.
"Right!" agreed the group of teenage ninjas. The three spread out into a wide triangle.
"Okay! Start now!" said Gai. The ninja's all looked at each other to see who would make the first move.
"Byakugan" said Neji. The said ninja looked around. Tenten seemed to be relaxed and didn't look like she'd be making a move anytime soon. He saw Lee pull out two kunai.
Lee came at Neji, aimlessly flailing his two weapons. He threw the kunai at Neji and kept running in his direction. Neji dodged the kunai with ease.
When Lee ran close enough, Neji grabbed his wrist. He twisted Lee around to wear it had twisted his wrist. He then threw Lee into the air and threw six kunai at him.
Lee dodged five and was hit on the shoulder by one. He landed on the ground, twitching in the anime way. Gai blew a whistle signaling that Lee was out. He dragged said boy over to a tree.
Neji looked at Tenten. 'It's just me and her.' he thought. Neji pulled out two shuriken. He threw them in Tenten's direction, who seemed to be doing nothing.
All of the sudden, the roots of the trees in the ground shot upward. The roots seemed to shield Tenten from the flying shuriken.
'How did she do that?' thought Neji. Then he came to a realization. 'Oh, she must be using her curse mark. The one that lets her move things without even touching them.'
Neji brought out two fancy looking ninja swords. Neither were sharp enough to cut someone, but had enough force to bruise. Secretly, he didn't want to hurt Tenten at all.
Neji threw one sword at Tenten, and threw the other at a tree behind her. Tenten brought out a shuriken. She threw it at the first sword, stopping it dead in its tracks.
"You can do better than that, can't you?" asked Tenten teasingly.
"I wouldn't say that if I were you, Tenten." said Neji. His face held a wide smirk.
Just then Tenten heard metal against wood. She turned around to see the handle of the other sword hit a tree behind her, then ricochet off of it. The sword headed toward her at a very fast speed.
Tenten wasted no time. She forced another tree root out of the ground and in front of her. The sword hit the root with great force.
That was when Tenten noticed something. Only a few pieces of dirt came off of the root. The force of the sword wouldn't have even have cut her skin.
'He didn't want to hurt me.' thought Tenten. Said girl turned to face Neji.
"You're going to have to try harder." she said. Neji pulled out three shuriken. Tenten did the same.
The two ninja ran towards each other. Neji was holding one shuriken in one hand, with two in the other. Tenten had all three levitating in the air as she ran.
When they were close enough, each of them jumped into the air and threw all of their shuriken at one another. Each dodged the other's shot. Unfortunately for them, each of them were too close to dodge each other.
Both Tenten and Neji banged heads while in mid air. The two were immediately knocked unconscious. They both fell to the ground.
Tenten had accidentally landed onto Neji's chest. Neither of the two got up, so it was obvious to Gai and Lee that they had knocked each other out.
"Should we take them to the hospital?" asked Lee.
"No, there just youthfully unconscious. Besides, I'm going to post this on my youthful blog!" said Gai. He quickly took out a camera, and took a photo of the two unconscious ninjas.
"Now come on, Lee. I'll treat you to some youthful ramen." said Gai.
"Yay!" said Lee.
"But first, three-hundred laps around the ramen stand!" shouted Gai, running off. Lee followed.
At eight-o-clock at night, Neji woke up. He blinked to fix his eyesight. That was when he noticed that Tenten was on his chest, still unconcious.
Neji sat up. 'What do I do now?' he though. 'I guess I should take her home.'
Neji gathered Tenten into his arms and headed to her house. When he got there, he laid her down in her bed. Before leaving, Neji snuck a quick kiss on her forehead.
