Chapter 5 The Real Truth
disclaimer: i don't own naruto
When Tenten heard what Lee had just told her she sat there in awe. " He was dared to-" She couldn't finish her sentence. " Yeah, he was so ticked at those two." "But if you knew this then why did you agree to go out with me?" Lee sat there wide eyed and his face turned bright red and had a loss of words. " Well you see... because..." " Well?" " Um.. I really do like you and all... so-" " So when you heard about this dare you saw it as an opportunity to go out with me!?" " Now that sounds harsher than what I was going to say, but basically the same thing." " YOU... YOU... JACK!" " Tenten, calm down!" " CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN! YOU PRACTICALLY TOOK ME AWAY FROM THE PERSON I REALLY LOVE JUST SO THAT YOU COULD GET YOUR SCRAWNY FILTHY HANDS ON ME AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN!!" " um, yes." Lee was now really scared of his soon to be ex-girlfriend. " WELL YOU'VE GOT A LOT COMING TO YOU IF YOU THINK THAT I'M GOING TO CALM DOWN!" And with that she took her bowl of ramen and dumped it on top of his head. " THERE! LEE! WE ARE THROUGH!" Tenten walked off all fumed at what a jerk Lee had been. A couple of girls that were observing the "situation" came up to Lee and started to talk to him. " What a jerk!" "Yeah, I can't believe you did that!" Then they walked off talking about how boys are so jerkish or something like that.
With Tenten-
' I can't believe that selfish jack would do that to me! That shows to prove that all boys are freaks. Well that's not all true. Who are you and what do you mean not all true? Remember a certain Hyuuga that still loves you? Yeah, but he let a stupid dare get between us! Hey! Don't blame him! He couldn't help it! You need to apologize to him! ASAP! Whatever! I'm through with boys! Sure you are. What! I am! Don't try fooling me! I see and hear everything that you're thinking of! So, it doesn't matter! It's not like I'm thinking of Neji or anything! Oh Yeah? Want a bet?" Then all of a sudden Tenten started seeing the vivid image of when her and Neji first met.
Tenten's Memory-
It was the first day of High School, Tenten was fretting over everything which was very unlike her. ' What did Hinata mean when she said that she had someone she wanted me to meet?' Tenten was walking on the side walk with all her supplies in her hands. " TENTEN!" She turned around to see her pink-haired friend name Sakrua. " Hey Tenten!" " Hey." " I can't wait to see who Hinata wants you to meet!" " Yeah." Sakura looked at Tenten with concern. " What's wrong?" "Nothing" " Tenten. I've been you're friend for who knows how many years now! So don't think that I don't know when you're mad or happy or sad or depressed!" Tenten looked at her friend and smiled. " Thanks Sakura-chan." " Now, tell me what's wrong." Tenten was deciding if she should tell her friend what was bugging her. " It's just that... I'm sick and tired of being single!" " What do you mean?" " Well I'm the only one in our group that's single! I mean you've got Sasuke, Hinata's got Naruto, Temari's got Shika, and who do I have? Diddly skwat! No one!" Sakura was kind of taken back at what Tenten had just told her. She never knew that Tenten felt this way, she always thought that Tenten liked being single for who knows why! " Well, maybe this is your lucky year!" Tenten looked up at her friend glad that she was being so supportive. " Thanks Sakura-chan!" The rest of their walk was quiet. When they finally reached the school they saw Hinata and this other person beside her. " Who's that?" Sakura asked Tenten. "Probably the person Hinata wanted me to meet. Sakura and Tenten approached the two and stopped when they reached them. " Tenten, this Hyuuga Neji. Neji this is Tenten." Tenten looked at Neji and he returned the stare. ' Wow, he's cute!' " Wait, Hyuuga?" Tenten was confused that the two had the same last name. " Yeah, we're cousins." "Oh." Tenten was a little embarrassed at her comment. Neji on the other hand thought it was pretty funny. " We get that a lot." Tenten looked up when she heard him talking. 'What a hot voice!' Hinata and Sakura looked back and forth at the two staring intently at each other. Breaking the silence Hinata said, " Well I'll leave you two alone. You have a lot in common! You both like weapons! Come on Sakura let's go!" It was then that Tenten realized she blushing redder than a tomato. So she broke the stair by looking at the two leaving. Then jerked her head when she heard Neji talking again. " so you're Tenten?" Tenten tried to keep from stuttering but it didn't work. " Y-yes." "Okay." ' Wow, is he always like this?' Now they were both blushing redder then 50 tomatoes put together! Then in unison they both asked the other, " Would you like to go out sometime?" Both stopped instantly hearing the other asking the same thing. Then in unison again they answered, " Sure!" Then they were really freaked out! And both started to laugh nervously. Then Neji broke the uncomfortable silence. " So, you do want to go out with me?" Tenten was nervous to answer the question. " Y-y-yes." Neji smiled at her stuttering. Tenten seeing this was almost mad. " What! What so funny?" "You." "What do you mean?!" "You're so cute when you're stuttering." "WHAT!" Neji started smirking more. " You're even cuter when you're mad" Tenten then calmed down a little. " sorry." "Why?" Tenten quickly changed subject. "So when should we go out?" Neji quickly adjusted to the change of subject. " How bout tomorrow night?" " Sounds good." Tenten went up to neji and kissed him lightly on the cheek. She started to walk away when Neji pulled on her arm and gave her another light kiss but this time on the lips. They both smiled and then walked off with Neji's arm around her shoulder and her head on his shoulder. Then from a distance Sakura and Hinata were observing their brilliant plan to get the two together.
END MEMORY
I told you you were thinking of him! Admit it, you still love him! Tenten then realized that she really did still love him and started to walk faster so she could get home to call the person she really loves!
With Neji-
" I can't believe I'll never be coming here again to see her beautiful face. Then, surprisingly enough, he started to remember the first time they met. ( Don't make me write it again!) When he finished his memory and was about to leave when...
With Tenten-
She was a block away from her house, and was now starting to run. Then she came to a sudden stop when she noticed someone standing right across her house. 'Neji?' Neji was stunned when he saw Tenten suddenly stop when she saw him. Tenten started to walk up to Neji. Then gradually she started to speed up and when she reached him she ran right into him and started to hug him like she was afraid that if she let go he'd disappear. When she finally let go Neji gave her a confused look. " What? Why?" Tenten was now crying as she started to tell Neji everything. " Lee told me about how Sasuke and Shikamaru had dared you and that they dared you not to tell me and all that crap." " Oh." " Then when I asked him why he went out with me if he knew that it was a dare that had gotten me mad at you and stuff." " What did he say when you asked him." " Well he didn't say anything. He started to stutter." "Why would he stutter? Unless" " He was using me. He took advantage of me." "WHAT! Why would he do that?" " He said something about how he's loved me for a long time and stuff." "So, now what." "Neji, I'm sorry for ever doubting you!" Tenten was now bawling her eyes out and then she hugged Neji again and he put a comforting arm around her. " It's ok. It's my fault. I should've told you in the first place." "That's not the point! The point is that I never loved Lee! I've always loved you and only you!" And with that the two went into a vigorous kiss. Then Neji licked the bottom of Tenten's lips asking for entrance which she quickly gave. Then Neji picked Tenten up by the waist, and Tenten put her arms around his neck. Then Neji pulled away and put Tenten back on the ground. " I missed you." " I missed you too." " So what happened with Lee?" "Oh, that. Well as you can imagine I was very ticked off at him. So before I left I dumped my bowl of ramen on his head!" Neji laughed at Tenten's way of saying " we're through!" And with that they kissed again except a little bit longer than the first one.
As for Lee, well let's just say that it took him months to get that ramen out of his already silky hair. And from that point on he was known as... well you can guess the rest. I'll give you a clue, it starts with a j.
