Chapter 3

The night has gone by since Tenten first received her note from a mysterious secret admirer. It was morning on the next day and Tenten couldn't stop thinking about that note!

'I wonder who he is.' she thought. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the bedroom door. She knew it wasn't her mother or father for they left Konoha to go do a mission for Tsunade, so she wondered who it was. "Who's there?" Tenten shouted. A voice on the other side of the door called out, "Tenten. It's me, Sakura!"

Tenten shot a glare at the door and leaped out of her bed. She grabbed her kunai knife on the nightstand and cautiously walked towards the door. When she got there, she opened the door and quickly moved to the side, behind the door.

"Tenten? Are you here?" said Sakura as she walked into the room. Tenten stealthily moved behind Sakura, then she threw her weapon at her causing her to almost faint. "So, you really are Sakura." said Tenten. Sakura reached up and touched her face; she was bleeding from a cut, but it wasn't a serious one.

"T-T-Tenten, don't do that! You really freaked me out doing that!" Sakura shouted in a half-afraid, half-angry tone. Tenten laughed. "Sorry Sakura-chan. At least I made another bull's-eye." Sakura jumped when she saw a wooden target on the wall where she was walking towards before Tenten threw the kunai. In the center of the target was Tenten's kunai knife. "Seriously Sakura-chan, I'm sorry for that. I was makin' sure that you weren't a doppelganger or anyone who would try to attack me."

Sakura smiled understanding and said, "Tenten-chan, do you have plans for today or tonight?" Tenten blushed and replied,

"Yep, well tonight anyway. I don't know about today."

"Oh really? What are you doin' tonight?" Tenten giggled for a few minutes before answering. "I am going on a date!" Sakura's eyes bulged.

"What do you mean Tenten-chan?! I thought you and..."

"Nope! I got a note last night from a secret admirer! I'm meeting him tonight at the ramen bar."

"What time?"

"Eight o' clock, I think."

"Well, good for you Tenten-chan!" Sakura made a thumbs up sign and smiled. Her inner self was throwing punches angrily, yet her face was full of confusion. 'This is so, wrong! I thought she was dating Neji!! What happened here?!' "But are you sure you don't have plans for today?" Tenten nodded. "Well, I was wondering…. Hinata, Ino and I are going shopping, would you like to come along?" Tenten smiled and said,

"Okay, but why are you…"

"You just looked so bummed out at the spring event yesterday. Hinata and I talked about it too and, well…we just thought that we would do something nice to cheer you up. You're our friend and we don't want to see you so upset." Tenten became shocked, and then she smiled. "Thank you, Sakura." Sakura smiled. Twenty minutes later, when Tenten was ready for the day, they walked outside where Hinata and Ino were waiting and left for their shopping day.

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

The day went by almost pretty fast. It was nighttime when the girls reached Tenten's house. "Hey Tenten! Don't you have a date tonight?" said Ino. Tenten looked at her watch; it was 9:03 p.m.

"OH-NO!!" she screamed. "I'M LATE!!!"

"Huh? Tenten's dating someone else?" questioned a very confused Hinata. Sakura and Ino nodded hard. "But….But…I thought she already had a boyfriend."

Sakura shook her head. "I don't know what happened, but maybe we should ask Tenten about it." Tenten opened the door to her house and said in a clear, firm voice, "If you want to know, Neji-kun…..he dumped me."

All three girls stood in stunned silence, mostly Ino, who at that point, ran off without anyone noticing.

Hinata dropped to the ground, knees first, then hands. "My cousin? Really?" Tenten nodded. "That's…he wouldn't! He loves you! He may not show any emotion but still, he cares about you!" Sakura nodded in agreement and added, "Yeah. That's right!"

Tenten sighed in sadness and said, "I thought so too. That Neji loved me….but four weeks ago, on the day he dumped me….I saw something that I've never seen on his face before." Sakura urged on when Tenten stopped. "I saw emotion…a combo of sadness and guilt….it was the first and only time that I've seen Neji with that look. He actually showed a bit of emotion that one time."

The girls were now confused. Tenten continued. "Neji may be emotionless, but somewhere deep within…he's just afraid to show it.

"Why am I talking about him now? And another thing! Where's Ino?"

The girls looked around and saw that Ino was gone. "OH FORGET IT!! I need to get ready for my date anyway!" And with that, she slammed the door and rushed up to her room to get ready, with tears starting to form in her eyes along the way.

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

After 25 minutes had passed, Tenten came out of her house all dressed up in a pink dress, the hem touching her ankles and had no sleeves, just straps and white high-heeled shoes. She also wore her gold, heart-shaped locket around her neck. She wasn't wearing her Konoha leaf headband around her head, because she had a feeling that the person she was going to meet and date was from Konoha; she was holding the note from her secret admirer in her hands just to be sure.

"Well…here I go. 'Ichiraku's' here I come!" said Tenten bravely to herself.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Hinata hid in a tree near Tenten's house, waiting for her to leave.

"Sakura? Why are we doing this again?" Hinata asked quietly. Sakura frowned a bit, then answered in a whispering tone, "We're doing this so that Tenten doesn't meet someone who is dangerous or would do any harm to her. I get worried about her that way. How 'bout you Hinata?"

Hinata nodded in agreement and didn't say anything as the two kunoichi (female ninja) secretly followed Tenten to her destination.

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

Tenten felt like she had walked for hours in the dark streets of Konoha. It was 10:00 p.m. when she reached the 'Ichiraku'. She looked around the ramen bar and then at her watch.

"I should have known," said Tenten in a sad, quiet tone. "this secret admirer…whoever he is… had left after all." She looked around one last time and was about to leave when she heard a dog barking from behind the ramen bar.

She wondered if a dog got loose or if it was a dog, she wanted to know who's dog it was. She didn't have to wonder for long, though. As if on cue, a small, white dog ran around a corner of the bar and leaped on top of Tenten, knocking her down and started giving her slobbery kisses on her face.

"Hey! Hey! Hee hee! S-Stop that!!" Tenten yelled while laughing. "Hahaha… okay, okay th-that's enough..!..C-Cut it out..hahaha!" When the dog finally stopped the wet kisses, it stared at her and sniffed her for a while. Then, it started to bark in the same direction it ran from and bounded off in that direction. Tenten wiped her face with a napkin from a dispenser on the counter and started to think.

'What…the…hell? What was that for? Maybe it's just happy to see me or something. But I wonder…' She heard the dog bark again, but this time she heard someone else.

"Akamaru! What's gotten into you? Why are so excited?" a voice said. Tenten moved close to where the voice was coming from. She then grew nervous, in fact, she was so nervous that she wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into someone.

"I am soooo sorry! I wasn't looking where…" she started to say. She was at a loss for words when she saw who she bumped into.

"Oh my…"

"Tenten? What are you…"

"Doing out here? I'm trying to find out who wrote this note to me. What about you, Kiba?" Yep. It was Kiba alright. His guess was as good as Tenten's when she mentioned the note she had. "Wait a second Tenten… can I see that note real quick?" Kiba asked.

Tenten nodded and handed the note to him. He looked at it for a while, then looked at the back; he smirked and said, "I kept my promise, didn't I?" Tenten was dumbstruck.

"What?!"

"I wrote the note Tenten. I waited for you even though you were late."

"B-B-But….I didn't see you! I thought…"

"That I left? No. I was behind the bar, waiting for you."

"Really? No foolin'?" Kiba nodded and his dog, Akamaru barked happily. Tenten was speechless! She wanted to say something, but nothing came out. She flinched when Kiba reached out and touched her hair. Sensing her discomfort, he smiled and told her not to worry, then he removed a couple of bands that where tied in her hair and watched as Tenten's hair flowed for the first time. Her hair was long, stopping between her shoulder blades and it was shiny, too. Tenten was too frozen to notice this until she saw a few strands of her hair on her shoulder.

"Oh! Um… I don't wear my hair like this, Kiba."

"I think you should." Kiba said, calmly. "It makes you look pretty and innocent in a few ways." Those words made Tenten blush. Soon, Tenten smiled a small smile. When Kiba asked her if she would like to go out with him, she screamed, "YES!". Pretty soon, she leaned on his chest, and as if on cue, she kissed him and he kissed her back.
