Chapter 2

Spring goes by fast and the special spring event was taking place a week before the end of the season. Tenten just smiled and looked out her bedroom window. She was planning on a surprise for Neji and it made her giggle just thinking about it.

"Oh Neji-kun!" Tenten said as she clutched her gold, heart-shaped locket around her neck. "I can't wait until the season event comes!" Tenten kept smiling and skipped around her room. Then she looked at her alarm clock; it was almost 6:01 a.m.

"I have plenty of time until my date with Neji. I promised to meet him at his place around 7:30 a.m." she said to herself. "I guess I should get ready right now." After saying those words, she dashed off to the bathroom, grabbing her Konoha leaf headband and a set of pink clothes along the way and was ready in 20 minutes.

She looked at herself in the mirror and examined every inch of her own being, seeing if there was anything wrong or if she needed to change clothes; she was good to go! "What time is it?" She looked at her alarm clock and then picked up her watch; it was now 6:23 a.m.

"I'll just go on over there anyway." Tenten said, smiling. And in a flash, she disappeared in a puff of smoke.

---------------------------

The sun shone brightly in Konoha and everyone in the village was decorating the streets with springtime flowers and green ivy. All of the ninjas were helping out too! Naruto and Hinata were making flower chains for decoration. Hinata made a flower tiara and placed it on top of her head. "Hey, you look pretty Hinata!" said Naruto as he was adding a cherry blossom to the chain. Hinata blushed. "Y-You really th-think so Naruto-kun?" stammered Hinata. Naruto nodded and kissed her cheek, which caused her face to flush a very deep red and fainted. Sasuke and Sakura were in a different part of the village, stringing ivy on the buildings and planting the flowers in neat rows along the edge near the training grounds. They didn't talk for a while, then Sakura broke the silence. "Uuummmm... Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke stopped working and faced Sakura. "Hmm?" Sakura blushed for a minute and tried to think of something to say. She finally managed to get the words out and said,

"Sasuke-kun…I'm just wondering...ummm…you don't still like her…do you Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke was shocked and surprised at what Sakura was saying to him. He didn't want to start an argument with her so, he touched her shoulder and said, "You've asked me that question for a long time now and every time I would give you the same answer. I'm never going back to her, she was never the one for me."

"Sasuke…"

"Shhh…Not another word." After saying that he wrapped his arms around Sakura and held her close to his chest. Sakura blushed and giggled madly, then she broke free of his grasp and leaped onto him. Soon their lips where locked and they started to make out in on the roadside.

Meanwhile, someone was running down the road looking from left to right, trying to find someone. Neji stopped running and was catching his breath when he heard something. "Who's…. there…?" he said between breaths. He heard the leaves in the trees nearby shaking and, without looking up, said, "Tenten…. I know you're….. up there….so just come down…and we'll talk.." Tenten shot out of the tree and managed to land on her feet.

"Aaaawwwww, no fair Neji!" Tenten groaned. Neji didn't reply. "Neji-kun I know I'm late again! But, it's not my fault! I just didn't reset my clocks yet!"

"Tenten-san," Neji said, in a serious tone. Tenten looked puzzled but, she just replied, "What is it Neji-kun?" Neji pointed to a bench nearby and asked, "Do you have a moment to talk?" Tenten looked at Neji, completely clueless. She then smiled and grabbed Neji's hand. "Maybe later, first I need you to close your eyes and follow me, okay?" Neji nodded and closed his eyes, then he felt himself being pulled forward and before he knew it, a few hours later, they stopped. "Okay Neji-kun! You can open your eyes now!" said Tenten, cheerfully. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw. They were standing in front of a large building and the sign in front said, 'Konoha Arcade'.

"C'mon Neji! Let's go inside!"

"Okay…" When they went inside, there were lots of arcade games: pinball machines, DDR machines, photo booths, etc. There were also lots of colorful lights that would move and twirl and change colors. The song 'Beautiful Stranger' was playing in the background. Neji was amazed at the sight of the place. Tenten then tugged his arm and said, "Let's go to the DDR machines first; I have some money with me so, I guess you can say that it's on me!" She then winked and dragged him to the DDR machines before he had a chance to reply.

When they got there, Tenten placed a quarter in the slot and asked Neji if he would like to play along with her. Neji shook his head and sat at a nearby table. Tenten understood and got on the dance pad. She set the level on 'heavy mode' and started selecting the first song she would like to dance to. When she selected her song, she stared at the screen and followed the pattern. Neji was surprised when he saw how fast Tenten was going. After she completed the 1st and 2nd rounds, the song she chose to dance for the final round was her favorite song titled, 'Mr. Wonderful'. Try competing against Tenten and you would be blown right off the dance pad! She moved her feet up, down, left-right, up, up, left, left, right, up, held left-down for 2 minutes, down, up, right, right, left-right, up-down, etc.

Neji just watched her go in stunned silence. When Tenten was finished, she put in her name on the high scores list and walked over to where Neji was sitting at. She was breathing hard and sweating all over. Luckily, she brought a small towel with her just in case and wiped her face. "DAMN!! That felt good!!!" She hollered. Neji remained silent for the whole day even when Tenten went to get some water.

At the end of the day, Neji and Tenten walked out of the arcade. Tenten was all sweaty and tired from playing DDR all day and Neji was drinking a bottle of vodka, half-tipsy and half-sober. "Neji-kun, I'm getting worried about you…all day you've been drinking nothing but vodka - I mean - you're already on your 5th one! Tell me Neji-kun, what's wrong?" Tenten finally asked. When Neji became fully sober, he said, "Tenten-san, we need to talk." Tenten became confused and worried at the same time. 'I wonder…' she thought. They sat down at a bench and it was Neji who sighed a heavy sigh. "Tenten-san…" Neji began. "…I, well… you see,"

"Neji-kun?"

"Listen, I talked to Ino this morning and…I just found out that Ino used to date Sasuke two years ago, but he broke up with her last year to go out with Sakura."

"And…?"

"Well…Ino is heartbroken right now."

"And you're going to cheer her up?" Neji shook his head. "Then why are you bringing up Ino?" Neji was silent. Tenten put her arms around his shoulders and tried to get him to continue, but when he pulled away from her, she thought she saw a tear streak his face. Afraid of what would happen next, Tenten urged Neji once more and he continued.

"Tenten-san…. it's over between us." Tenten was struck with horror. Then she started to laugh a little and said with a half-smile, "N-Neji-kun, hehe…you're joking, right? T-Tell me you're joking." Neji looked at her for a long time and soon, he couldn't hold in his emotions. He looked down at the ground and let the tears fall. "I wish I was," Neji solemnly said. "I'm sorry Tenten-san. Truly I am." Neji stood up and vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving Tenten on the bench.

Tenten's eyes filled with tears, her face grew pale, her face was filled with horror, and her hands covered her mouth. She let the tears fall to the ground. "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god." Tenten said through brokenhearted sobs. "Why?"

"Tenten-chan!" a voice called out. Tenten turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw Hinata and Naruto pass by. Hinata went over to Tenten and said in a calm voice, "Is something wrong Tenten-chan?" Tenten shook her head and wept bitterly. "It's okay Tenten-chan."

"NO! IT'S NOT OKAY!! DAMN HIM!!"

"Who? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Tenten remained silent. Hinata looked away for a while then said, "Naruto-kun and I are walking home together. Is it alright if we walk you home, Tenten-chan?" Tenten looked at Hinata thoughtfully and answered, "Y-Yes, Hinata-chan. I'd really love the company." Hinata smiled and helped Tenten get to her feet. Then, they joined Naruto and they started walking towards home.

-------------------------------

After a long walk, Tenten reached the door of her house, thanked Naruto and Hinata for escorting her and went inside and upstairs to her room. There, she fell on her knees, put her head on her bedspread and cried her whole heart out.

"WHY?! How could you Neji?! We promised our future together! We promised to stay together no matter what! Now you're breaking that promise we made and my heart!" she cried. "Why?...Why?..." Tenten kept sobbing and soon she cried herself to sleep in a few minutes.

Four weeks later, Tenten went to the spring event with nobody and throughout the whole event, she waited and hoped that someone would notice her. She looked among the crowd and lost hope, for there were a whole bunch of couples and no one would come to the event alone, except for herself. What she didn't notice was that someone was watching her from a distance.

Later that day, everyone went back to their houses right after the event, kissing their loved ones good-bye. All Tenten could do was watch and envy them from so far away. When she got home, though, she was surprised to see a note lying on her nightstand. Curious to know what was written in it, she picked it up and read it. The note said:

Dear Tenten,

I heard about your break-up with Neji and I'm sorry to hear about that. I was kinda wondering if you're still single. I can tell you are because I've been watching you these past 4 weeks now, but I'm not so sure. The address is on the back of this note so, if you want to… just forget about Neji and find someone else. I can help you be free of your nightmares once and for all. I'll be waiting at the 'Ichiraku' or whatever you call it… that ramen bar…I'll be waiting for you tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. (Don't worry if you're late, I'll still wait 4 you.) Think about it.

Love, Your Secret Admirer

Tenten's face turned red and hot; she had a secret admirer! She read it again and smiled for the first time in a long time. "I'll go." she said, blushing and giggling softly.
