'Nejiten'
Love Thy Sparrow
'I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For her eye is on the sparrow,
And I know she watches me.'
"Look at that Lee, maybe there is such thing as hope after all,"
She turned her head to look up towards the pale blue sky. Quiet and peaceful, except for that one sparrow flying around.
"Are you sure you're feeling okay, Tenten?" the green spandex clad male replied, staring at her with a worried expression.
She ignored him. Of course she was feeling fine. After all, he was happy, and that was all she ever wanted. To make him happy.
"My dear youthful flower, you don't deserve to be shunned away from your light. Just because his family does not approve of you, means nothing. Gai would have wanted you to be happy also,"
They were sitting in the green grass at their old training grounds. The two of them lying against a tree, as the breeze fanned their faces.
"You should go back to Konoha. Go back to Neji, he needs you to be his wind beneath his wings,"
"Never mind that Lee, look at that beautiful sparrow flying above us. It's free," she simply replied, as the two of them turned their gaze towards the endless blue sky.
Her eyes fluttered open as she felt something cold press lightly against her forehead. Two pale lilac eyes stared back at her.
"What are you doing here Neji? If Hiashi ever found out, he's going to trap you inside those walls forever," she whispered, with great effort.
He threw his sparrow anbu mask across the room, and stared back. He wanted her, no he needed her.
"Being free, means you'll be there to watch me," he simply replied, before their lips fused together, and their bodies became one.
She couldn't hold back anymore. She was his wind. He was the bird. Together, they could go anywhere they wanted.
To love thy sparrow, means to be able to overcome troubles - together.
