A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Sorry for the wait. Was being stupid for anyone else? Gr, I'm still not getting email alerts. Anyways, this chapter's pretty short. So sorry! And my brother laughed pretty hard when I told him that Neji was the king of the fairies…

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Act II; scene I

Tenten crept around the corner, making as little sounds as she could. Since she was a shinobi, this translated into her being completely and utterly silent. She caught sight of him.

He was…perfect. His shiny hair was the absolute perfect shade of red. He was muscular, probably resulting from years of training. His jet black cloak dusted the streets of Konoha, leaving behind a batch of brand new fangirls waiting to worship him.

Tenten, admittedly, was fast becoming one of those fangirls. He laughed at something his twin sister said. To Tenten's ears, it was the most wonderful sound on the planet. Everything came second to it, including her old favorite voice, which now popped out at her from the shadows.

"What are you doing?" Neji Hyuuga asked Tenten simply. She jumped a mile. Just her luck, the one she had been seeing ::hint:: had to sneak up on her when she was being entranced by the male sibling of the two twin shinobi who had just moved to Konoha. She laughed shrilly, buying herself time as Neji's all seeing eyes pierced her through and through.

"I was just hanging out, you know…" She giggled again. "Ah…What are you doing here?" Neji shrugged.

"I was…looking for Hinata. And you. Kiba and Shino were looking for one of you to be in a play or something. I…politely declined." Tenten shook her head.

"Oh, Neji, you didn't hurt them, did you? I don't think Hinata would be very pleased." Neji sighed.

"No, I didn't hurt them. I really can't find Hinata though, have you seen her?" Tenten shook her head.

"But why would you be looking for her here? She never comes to this side of Konoha." Tenten mused, frowning. Another crystalline laugh sounded from the yard where the new comers sat. This one was female, but just as stunningly beautiful as her male counterpart's. Neji remained expressionless but Tenten knew her boyfriend better than anyone. She gasped. "You like her!" She accused. Neji was taken aback.

"N-No!" He stuttered. Tenten didn't believe him for a second.

"Come on! You should have seen your eyes when she laughed!"

"What about you? You were sneaking around, behind my back, just to spy on that guy!"

"That's not fair, Neji!" Their voices rose as the argument swelled, anger increasing as the topics shifted from the pair outside of their sight to topics closer to home.

"I can't talk about anything with you!" Tenten shouted. "You tie everything I say back to your stupid family! You know what Neji, get over it. Your father died almost ten years ago! Why don't you get over yourself already and stop whining about!" They both knew Tenten had gone too far. Neji turned away from her shaking.

Silence.

The silence almost crushed them as they both started to cool down.

"Neji?" Still silence. "Neji, I am so sorry." Tenten walked up to him. He still did not turn around. "Neji, come on." She placed her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder. He didn't pull away from her, but he didn't acknowledge her presence either. "I am so sorry. I said something I shouldn't have. And I am so sorry." Neji sighed.

"Yeah, I know." He said. "We were fighting, things like that happen in a fight." Tenten smiled.

"So…will you meet me in the training fields tonight, like always?" Neji frowned.

"Sorry Tenten but no." He said. "I…I can't be with someone when I'm this mad." He said, obviously remembering when he almost killed his cousin in a temper. Tenten stepped back, hurt crossing over her face before her training buried it deep inside herself.

"Oh." She said in a tight voice. "Yeah, I understand. I'll…I'll see you later, Neji." She walked away, leaving her teammate trembling and fighting his anger. As Tenten was walked away, Lee entered from the other side of the alley.

"ETERNAL RIVAL!" Lee shouted. "Were you and Tenten arguing?!? That is not youthful Neji!!!" Neji was thinking, completely ignoring his 'eternal rival'.

"I need revenge…" He mused. "She just can't say something like…like that and get away with it." He took deep breaths, trying and failing to calm himself down.

"You're not going to hurt her, right?" Lee asked tentatively. "You must be loyal to your teammates!" Neji shook her head.

"Of course I wouldn't hurt her. Just a little revenge…" Lee smiled.

"I have a suggestion!" He declared proudly. Neji just looked at him, waiting for the answer he knew he did not need to ask for. "The great Gai-sensei told me about this flower. It is deep in the southern forest of Konoha. When the pollen is spread over a sleeping person's eyelids, they fall in love with the first person they see!" Neji looked mildly interested.

"A form of genjutsu?" Lee nodded frantically. The Hyuuga frowned, contemplating. "I think I've heard of this before…Is there a play or something about this?" Lee scratched his head.

"I don't know. I've never heard of it." Neji shrugged, pushing it to the back of his mind. Neji thought for a moment, weighing the consequences. "Okay, let's do it. But I have to find my cousin, or my family might kill me. So, meet me in the forest at sunset with it." Lee nodded.

"I will do my best!" He proclaimed proudly. Neji nodded, partially ignoring his teammate as the overexcited genin dashed to the forest.

"Now, where have you gone, Hinata?" He said, setting out to find his errant cousin.
