In the last chapter
Hiashi was telling Neji and Hinata what had happened in the meeting earlier today.
"But, Otou-san, can't there anything else to be done?" Hinata asked, a sad look was written on her pale face.
Chapter Four: Bad News
" I think nothing else can be done. I tried my best" Hiashi said in melancholy.
"What are you saying, uncle?!! YOU'RE THE HEAD OF THE CLAN!!" Neji shouted out.
"That is true, but the elders still have the right to do that, you know." Hiashi said, yet still remaining his monotone voice, though deep inside, he was troubled.
"Uncle, you know that I love Tenten, and Hinata loves Naruto."
"Outo-san, I just got one month to spend time with Naruto-kun. Doesn't that seem unfair to me when finally I…we confessed our love for each other." Hinata said.
Neji then started "Don't take this the wrong way, uncle…but I just…I just can't marry Hinata. I love her, I do, but as a sister, not as how much I care and love Tenten. And she loves me too!!"
Hinata as well had agreed with Neji. "I also love Naruto-kun, Otou-san, just as how he loves me! I want to spend my life with him. I also do care about Neji-neekun, but as a brother. I want Naruto to always be by my side."
"See, uncle. I thought that you cared for other people's joys, you said it yourself, especially the joy of your daughters. She wants to spend her life with Naruto, just as how I want to spend my life with Tenten. DON'T YOU CARE ANY LO-" Neji started but he was cut off by Hiashi, himself.
"I NEVER DID WISH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! I DO CARE ABOUT THE JOYS AND THE DESIRES OF YOU'RE HEART!!" Hiashi then tried to calm himself down, yet in continuing his words, his voice was shaky, and worried. "But what can I do. Yes, I am the head of the clan, I have the power, yet this time, we had to choose," A tear scrolled down his face, yet he still managed to try to keep his calm voice. "we had to choose,…between our own joys and desires, or our rights and privileges. If this doesn't get fulfilled anytime when Hinata's 18, we would more likely…"Hiashi let out a deep sigh before saying the very unpleasing words that was given out to him a while ago, "we'd be disowned by the clan."
The two young Hyugas went wide-eyed and let out a gasp. Yes, nothing can be done. (A/N: I'm sorry, I'm just too tired to think of a way too not put them together. Besides, this is part of my plan to get Tenten and Lee together). They have to learn to love each other, not as "siblings" but as lovers. They looked down in disbelief, they have never wanted to do that, they never did. Hiashi then continued, and said his last words to them about the meeting.
"You're only given today and tomorrow to meet them, so you better tell them as soon as possible."
The two Hyugas then went out of Hiashi's office, tears fell down from their eyes.
'How am I going to tell Naruto-kun. He's going to be furious about this.' Hinata thought.
'I have to do something, quick!' Neji spoke to his mind.
Hinata was about to make her way to her room when she felt a hand grab her arm. "Let's talk about this, Hinata. We have to do something." Neji said and with that, they headed for Neji's room.
XXXXXX
Neji's Room
"We just can't let this happen, Hinata-sama. We have to do something!" Neji started the conversation after a ling period of silence.
"What can we do? There aren't any other options…unless you want us to run away-" Hinata began.
"Yes! That's it!"
"Neji-neekun!"
"We'll run away. Tell Naruto-san about it, and I'll tell Tenten-chan about this as well. If they agree, we'll go somewhere far…where we control our own lives."
"But who will take my place as the heir or heiress?"
"If we leave, then, they are forced to make Hanabi as the new heiress!"
"Are you sure about this Neji-neekun?"
"I am sure about this. I don't doubt a single thing."
And so they got out of the compound and as soon they could see the city (or town, or whatever, you choose), itself, they went on their separate ways. Neji went of to find Tenten, while Hinata went of to find Naruto.
Seconds became minutes and the minutes became hours until the two had finally found of whom they seek.
With Neji and Tenten
"There she is! I had to find her all around the city, yet there she was, just right there on the monument." Neji said to himself.
He then went up so he could talk to her. Then finally called out to her, "Tenten-chan!"
To Tenten surprise, she never expected Neji to be there. It was already kind of late and there were strict rules in the Hyuga clan. "You have to be home before the sun sets if there is no special occasion" That's their rule, yet now, there he is, the sun is about to set yet he hasn't gone home yet. The word "Oh!" was the only word that came out of her mouth.
"I suppose I surprised you, knowing about our rules and regulations that we had to follow. Well, I just had to talk to you…right now?" He got into his serious self again.
"What is it, Neji-kun?"
"Well, I've been through a lot today."
"Well, you can tell me anything, common…"
"It's not that simple, Tenten!"
"Neji, calm down…take it easy…take a deep breath…alright, so what has been through today?"
"Well, remember that I have the blood limit, Byakugan?"
"Yes."
"And there were some of those people in our clan that has to be married to another Hyuga just for the sake of keeping the blood limit?"
"Yes. I already know that, Neji-kun." Tenten replied with a warm smile on her face.
Neji then held tight on to her arms saying these words. "Please don't get mad at me, please don't leave me. Stay with me, forever." Tears then started to fall.
"Neji-kun, what are you talking about?! Of course, I'll never leave you!" She said. She didn't understand why he's saying these, yet in her heart she was worried and she had suspicions.
He let out a deep sigh. "Maybe I'm just saying this too fast." He released her from his tight grip on the arm and started to chuckle and wiped away his tears. He turned around, thinking that maybe he would just tell her tomorrow. He wasn't ready, himself, to tell her all those.
"Neji-kun, I know something is going wrong. Tell me." Her voice sounded serious as ever.
He turned back to her, then hugged her tight. Yet, she didn't return the hug to him, knowing that there really is something going wrong. "I really don't know how to tell you this so I'm going straight to the point." She felt a tear drop to her face, not of her own. She realized that Neji was once again crying. "I have been forced in an arranged marriage. I really don't wish to do it and I want t-"
"To whom will you get married, Neji-kun?"
Neji released her from his embrace and said. "It's most often the heir or heiress of the clan, Tenten-chan. I'm forced to marry my own cousin-sister."
To his surprise, she wasn't shock at all. She was crying, crying hard but at the same time holding her tears back in. "Don't worry, Tenten. She herself doesn't want to do it. We both planned that, she, Naruto, you and I would go far-"
"No, Neji. You should stay. I'll just be of trouble to you. If they want us to forget about each other, we should." Neji was surprised at her words. He never imagined her saying these to him. She continued "I'm being too selfish to have you and just run away with you and Hinata and Naruto. And if we run away, what will become of the clan, their next heir? Neji, I won't go. I as well want you to stay here and with your clan."
"Tenten" were the only words that came out of Neji's mouth.
"Hey! Don't worry about me. I'll be alright. I'm sure I will…So please, go back home, Neji. You're needed there." She continued to tell him "Remember that love also needed some sacrifices. If we really love each other, we have to sacrifice, alright?" She said, trying to smile, drying her tears. In fact, her heart was broken.
"Tenten" again was al he could say. He neared her, and hugged her tight. He then let his lips lock with hers.
Not so long, she pushed him away from her (I mean gently and slowly, not being harsh and rude push, k?) And she said "You shouldn't be doing that to me, Neji. You should be with your fiancé now. She already might be waiting for you." She kept her head low, avoiding an eye contact.
They separated, both of them facing different direction. Tenten wrapped her arms around herself, crying. Neji had his hands in a fist, crying as well, and managed to say "Good bye…" and without any other word, he left for the Hyuga compound.
'Maybe I should as well forget about him, for our own sake. I should…I wanted to spend my life with him,…I should forget about it…' Tenten thought.
'Tenten, I love you, always remember that, I will do whatever I can so we can be together again. Please be alright and take care of youself.' Neji thought as he made his way out of the monument.
