Don't Loose Hope
A sequel to A True Kunoichi: Tenten
Chapter 1
Neji sighed up in his drafty bedroom. The sky was gloomy, with the clouds lazily drifting across the vast, navy back round. Nothing from his view was in a happy state of mind.
"Neji!" A manly voice rang through the house.
"Yes?" He replied to his uncle as he raced down the steps and into the kitchen.
"I need you to run an errand for me. We are running out of kunai so go to the weaponry shop to grab some more." Hiashi ordered his nephew.
Neji's heart sank. The weaponry shop was Tenten's favorite place…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as he reached the store, Neji bought a pack of 15 kunais and ran out.
"I better hurry back. Hiashi- sama has very high expectations." Neji whispered to himself.
BOOM!
"Ow! Watch it!" Neji growled as he looked up to see what he had collided with.
"I'm very sorry young man! Please, accept my apologies!" A strange, old man held out his hand to the Hyuga to help him up.
"Sorry…" Was all Neji grumbled back as he began to hurry back home.
"Wait!"
The Byakugan user stopped dead in his tracks. What did this old man want with him?
"From the bottom of my heart, I'm very sorry from the accident. I truly am. Please, just come into my shop for a moment! I will make some hot cocoa for you if you would like." The male ushered Neji.
Neji hesitantly replied, "I'm sorry sir, but I must get home before the rain comes." It was too late for that though… The rain just had started pouring down hard on the boy's back.
"It appears the rain has already arrived! So please, come inside! I'm sure you don't want to have to get soaked…" The man sounded convincing… but Neji wasn't just about ready to give in.
"Look, Mister, if I don't get home soon then my uncle will get very angry. I can't go inside, I'm very sorry." He replied curtly.
"Soot yourself then…" The old man calmly turned around.
Man, maybe I should've have gone inside… Is it too late now? Neji thought as the rain got harder and harder by the second.
"Wait! I've changed my mind…" The Hyuga told the old man.
"Excellent… I've have many things to show you and not a minute is to be wasted!" The man told the boy in an excited manner.
What does he mean? I thought I was only going in for a cup of hot chocolate, not to waste hours on a tour of his worthless store…

Ok, I know that was a bit short, but I didn't want to get too far in the story in just this one chapter... Anyways, R&R if you want to see what happens next!
