Neji had a hard time sleeping after his encounter with Tenten. He kept his mind clear by meditating all night and listening in case Tenten had another nightmare. But his actions were in vain, he didn't hear anything for Tenten's room. He stayed up the entire night for no real reason, or so he thought.
Tenten was having just about the same amount of luck as Neji was. She like Neji couldn't sleep all night, again. She decided to keep quite all night long so she wouldn't disturb Neji. She knew that he would stay up like her and listen to see if she had another nightmare.
She looked tiredly at the clock and saw the red numbers of her alarm clock was 5 am. She sighed and got up, getting ready for the long day. She headed into the kitchen to find Neji enter a few moments later. They mumbled their good mornings to one another, and began breakfast.
Several minutes later they had a simple breakfast and got ready to leave for training. When they had left they headed to the training grounds. Tenten glanced at Neji with an annoyed look in her eye, she apparently was still mad at him. Why Neji didn't know, he could only think of it as a woman thing and thought nothing more of it.
Now you may want to know why Tenten was so mad, well it was simple for her. Yup, so simple. She didn't like that Neji was sticking his nose in her business. He shouldn't even brother with her nightmares, I mean she is eighteen, she can handle a few nightmares.
But she knew it was more serious than a few nightmares. She just chose to be ignorant and try to avoid the problem. She wanted her teammates to be ignorant, very ignorant… so ignorant that they didn't even notice.
But sadly they knew there was something wrong with the 'flower' of team Gai. She just wanted them to leave her alone so she could get on with her life. Is that too much to ask for? I suppose it is.
Neji watched Tenten with amusement as she mumbled and glared for no real reason. She was being very emotional lately, he now knew it was because of her lack of sleep. He also knew that she didn't sleep last night either.
Even though they had been on the same team for so long they still weren't as close as everybody thought. Sure they were closer to each other than they were to Lee and Gai, but that was for sanity reasons. They could get along fine normally, but they still ticked each other off once and a while.
They even had people ask them if they were a couple, both would just look at the person weird and say no. They knew almost next to nothing about each other. Like the fact that Tenten liked romance as much as the next girl… but that didn't mean she believed that they were true. I mean that's what sappy romance movies and novels are for, right?
When they reached the training grounds they were greeted by the hyper duo. They proceeded to hug Tenten until she couldn't breath. They tried to hug Neji like they tried every morning, but that failed when he glared at them.
"Oh look Gai-sensei the youthful teammates have finally reached the spring time of their youth and have fallen for each other!" Lee yelled in joy. The couple in question twitched and glared at their hyper teammate. Tenten proceeded to crack her knuckles with fire burning in her eyes.
She walked over to Lee and punched in square in the face. But that didn't really work for her anger. She picked him up and started shacking him angrily.
"Lee you baka! I'm not dating Neji! I'm forced to let him live with me for a few days, you baka! Get it through your head, Neji and I are not dating!" She screamed while she was shacking him violently. Neji watched Tenten beat their teammate into the ground, all while glaring at Lee.
After Tenten was done beating her teammate, Lee was found in a bloody pile. Neji just nodded his head in pity for his teammate, and left to his own part of the training grounds. Tenten followed, her anger not quite gone.
They reached the grounds they often fought at and moved into their regular stances. Neji nodded in a way to say that they had started. Tenten, still glaring at Neji summoned a weapon that could be used for a close attack. She ran at the prodigy her weapon ready in her hands.
Neji raised an eyebrow at her new way of attacking. He still said nothing, but did notice that she was still very angry. From what he did not know, but he would most likely be beaten like Lee if he asked.
He dogged another one of attacks and raced at her, ready to block off her charka points. Tenten, noticing the way he was coming at her, was forced to change her position to defensive.
She managed to doge his first attack and got hit by the second. She twisted out the way as he tried to attack a third time and punched him square in the jaw. Neji was forced back by the powerful strength that was in her punch.
Neji balanced himself and rubbed his now sore jaw. He glared at her to see that she had already been glaring at him. He was tried of their warm up and activated his Byakugan. Tenten saw this and got ready for his next move.
Neji's eyebrow rose when he saw he could see the anger coming off Tenten like steam. He was fully prepared to knock her out she was so angry that she could easily kill someone with her look.
Even Neji was frightened to a small degree, but to just scare Neji is considered impossible. He tensed when she moved, she pulled out one of her many kunai and ran at him.
He dogged her hand with the kunai and poked her arm, blocking off her charka. Tenten growled in annoyance and went at him again, only for the same thing to happen. They continued to fight one another all morning, by afternoon they had passed out from lack of sleep, charka depletion, and over exerting themselves.
Well I hope it was ok... I had a hard time writing the last couple parts... but I did.
Please review.. they make me a happy person
