Chapter 2
Departure to Mist
Neji quickly grabbed his equipment and walked out of his house. On his mind were two different things…
One was the mission, the first one in a while he had been sent with backup to do, since in previous missions he had been sent alone. Luckily he had no problem with his backup, he had known them for while, and that was the other thing on his mind…
Her. Tenten, the kunoichi he met all those years ago, the third member of Team Gai. How could she be in his mind…
As Neji walked towards the village's gate, he spotted a certain brunette. 'Tenten.' Tenten looked to the side to see Neji. "Neji? I could have sworn you be at the gate already."
Neji just smiled. "Apparently I'm gaining your habits. Not a good thing for me." As the both walked, neither spoke. On their minds, well, was thoughts of each other. For Neji was why the heck was he thinking about her, and for Tenten was what the heck he was thinking about. Love…
Suddenly a small picture fell from Tenten's backpack, one which Neji managed to catch instantly. He took a look only to find it was a picture of him. 'Me?'
Tenten stopped when she saw him staring at the picture, not knowing it was hers. "What are you looking at Neji?"
"Myself." Tenten raised an eyebrow as Neji showed her the picture, she immediately knew it was hers. "How did you?"
"It fell from your backpack, I just grabbed it." Tenten blushed and quickly snapped the picture of his hands. "It was just… I… I have it just cause, I have one of Lee to you know."
Neji just sign, girls, he just didn't understand them.
Neji and Tenten reached the gate as Rock Lee had already been there a few minutes ago. "Hey, are we going now." Neji just nodded as the three walked out. Tenten turned towards her teammates and spoke. "So… Neji, what's this mission supposed to be, I don't remember hearing Tsunade saying what rank it was."
Neji smiled as Rock Lee let out a small laugh. "That's because she said it before you got there, to the ones who were not late."
Tenten blushed as she just turned. "Excuse me for being a few minutes late." Lee smiled as did Neji. "Well, for you to know, the mission is an A rank mission. As you heard the missions objective is to rescue the daughter of the leader. Here's a picture of her."
Neji took out a picture of the girl. She was about their age, brown hair and eyes, and was actually quite pretty. "Wow, she's cute." Lee said, blushing as he spoke. Tenten looked at him with her eyes opened midway. "Lee."
"I have to agree with him there." Neji blushed a bit as he spoke as well. "She is a bit cute." Tenten felt a sudden burst of anger and smacked both Neji and Lee, sending them both to the ground. "Remember that we have to save her, not for you two to ask her out."
"Tenten, what's your problem." Neji quickly stood up and brushed the dirt of his clothes. 'She hits hard.'
Tenten just raised her view and kept on walking ahead of them. "What's with her?" Lee stood up and cleaned himself up as well. "Maybe she's in that time of the month."
Tenten stopped completely and turned. "PERVERTS!"
Her aim was good. Leaving both Neji and Lee on the ground again, luckily she had chosen to throw rocks instead of kunai, but they still hurt. "Oh geez, Tenten."
"Why'd she hit me, you said it."
"Shut up Lee."
The night fell as the three Shinobi made camp. "Alright. We better look for supplies around here. The food supplies we brought are better if used for emergencies." Neji turned to his teammates. "Lee, go find some wood, your pretty good at breaking logs." Lee nodded and quickly went on his way.
Neji turned to Tenten. "And you should fine food, with your aim picking fruits will be easy." Tenten just nodded and walked away. 'Is she still mad at me?'
Neji managed to prepare the camp quickly. Setting the tents and sleeping bags. All that remain was for his teammates to bring the food and wood. 'What's taking them.'
Suddenly he saw Tenten bringing a handful of fruits. "Foods here." Tenten placed the food on a mat Neji had brought and turned to said Shinobi. "Where's Lee?" Neji just nodded. "Who knows, he better hurry thought."
Tenten sat and grabbed a fruit, one she didn't waste time on eating. He sat next to her and did the same. Neither talked. Neji decided he had to say something. "Tenten."
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry."
Tenten swallowed her food and stared at him. "What for?"
"You know, for my earlier comment."
"Oh… that." She said, blushing. "Its not that I'm mad or anything at you Neji, its just its embarrassing."
"I know."
"Like if I said you had a wet dream."
"I know-hey!"
Tenten laughed as the Hyuga blushed. "Ok, lets stop talking about that."
"Getting embarrassed?"
"No, it's just…"
Before he finished he found himself staring at her, as so did she. White eye with black. Both of them leaning closer to one another. Their lips just inches away.
Before the obvious could happen a nearby noise was heard, made by more than on person. Most likely Shinobi. Both of them shot back, blushing, and spoke in unison.
"Lee!"
This chapter is a bit short, left the good stuff for the next one.
