THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO REVIEWED!!!! BTW, I've already finished the oneshot, and I'll probably be doing the full story version of it later. The vote will be on for two more weeks, those of you willing to take time to vote. I've already decided I'm going to do all stories, but I want to know which I should do first. :D
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT FOR MY CLOTHES, SHOES, BAGS, FOOD, NECESSITIES, BODY (WELL DUH), MONEY, SCHOOL STUFF, LAPTOP, MOBILE AND IPOD. AND NARUTO IS PART OF THE 'NOTHING.'
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
'Oi, have you got any photos of Neji and Tenten?'
'DATTEBAYO!!! JUST GO TO TSUNADE!!! I'M SURE SHE WOULD WANT THEM FOR HER MATCHMAKING SCHEME!!!'
'Arigato. See you around.'
The man left, heading to Tsunade's office where she gladly hired him, handing him a photo that he would blow up to A2 size, printing out many copies which Tsunade would give to a bunch of genin, namely Hanabi, Moegi, Udon and Konohamaru to stick all over Konoha. All this happened within the two hours from when Naruto found Neji and Tenten, and the whole time they would be listening to Hiashi's rules of the match.
Back to present time, Neji and Tenten:
'SHEESH! Naruto that BAKA will pay dearly!'
'Tenten…calm down…people were bound to find out sooner or later, what with Tsunade heading this whole fiasco…'
'Yeah… but I wanted some privacy…'
'Agreed… but we still have that place… you know, the special place?'
'Yeah!' Tenten visibly brightened.
'And anyways, you already ripped up the photo… too bad… I wanted one for myself…'
Little did Neji know that this was just what he was going to get… Dun dun dun…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
'Ok, Neji, let's go to the Hyuuga Compound. We need to hear the rules of the match.'
'Hai, c'mon.'
They walked to the Hyuuga compound, and they passed a snickering man.
'You're Neji and Tenten, right?'
'Yeah?'
'snicker snicker You'll be in for some surprises later, I can count on it.'
The man left. He was the same man who approached Naruto.
'What was that about?'
'Hn. Whatever.'
They walked to the Hyuuga compound. Suddenly, Tenten bumped into another Hyuuga, around her age.
'Weapon's girl, stay away from Neji. I'm planning on marrying him after Hazashi wins Yukiko. I'll see to it that Hazashi DOES win, because I want Neji-kun for myself. The name's Haruko. Remember it.'
'Will do, bitch.'
Tenten hurried up to catch up to Neji.
'Hey Neji, who's Haruko?'
'Oh. Her. She's my uncle's second cousin's daughter. She doesn't have Hyuuga eyes though for some reason. She got her mom's eyes.'
'Ah, I see.'
'Why?'
'Bitch.'
'Enough said.' Neji smirked.
They walked until they got to the main training ground in the compound, and saw Hiashi standing on a makeshift podium, with many Hyuuga members already crowded around it. After around 20 more people arrived, Hiashi started.
'Ladies and Gentleman, Amekage-sama, Yukiko-san, Kimiko-san. I am here today to announce to you the rules of the battle that will be happening in a few days' time. It has been approved by the council elders, and I myself think that it is fair.'
A few murmurs were heard in the crowd.
'Ahem. If I may continue.'
Silence ensued.
'Thank you. The rules will be as follows. Hazashi Hyuuga versus Neji Hyuuga. The two men will be fighting for the right to choose whether or not they wish to marry Yukiko-san. It is only fair. Even if the one who loses will have to marry Yukiko, it will not make a difference since both shinobi are of equal strength.'
With this, Neji glowered.
'I shall now allow Amekage-sama to continue.'
'Thank you, Hiashi. Although the previous arrangement was that the best fighter would win Yukiko's hand in marriage, I myself approve of this decision because I feel that it is only right. The rules will be as follows:
Any fighting is allowed, except killing is not an option.
Any weapons may be utilized.
Any Hyuuga techniques that you wish to display should be used.
I will judge the performance, and unless there is a huge difference between the levels in the shinobi's skills, it is the winner's choice. Otherwise, if the winner is clearly better than the loser, the winner will HAVE to marry Yukiko.'
Neji looked at Hiashi who looked at him with an apologetic smile. This meant Neji would HAVE to dumb down his skills. Too bad for him.
'That is all. You may leave. The match will be held in this training ground 3 days from now.'
(A/N: I don't know what day in my story this is, so don't blame me :D)
Neji grabbed Tenten's arm. 'C'mon. I don't want to see Hazashi. He'll have some coy comment to make, that bas-'
'Oi, Neji. Beware, for I will leave you clinging for your life in this battle.'
'Speak of the devil…' Tenten muttered.
'We'll see about that, Hazashi-sssan.' Neji hissed the –san suffix.
They walked out, and headed for the training grounds. Suddenly, Tenten was surrounded by an angry mob of fangirls.
'Down with the SLUT! Down with the WHORE! Down with Tenten who…IS A HUGE BORE!' The leader lamely chanted…
Neji stopped. Tenten glared.
'What the FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!' Tenten screamed.
'HOW DARE YOU HYPNOTIZE NEJI YOU BIG FAT HYPNOTIZER?!'
'Uh…huh?' Neji added.
'NEJI-KUN! YOU'VE BEEN HYPNOTIZED BY THAT BITCH!!!'
'Firstly, you're the bitch. Secondly, I believe that I am perfectly fine.'
'SEE!!! HE LIKES HER! SHE MUST HAVE HYPNOTIZED HIM!!!'
'RUSEI!!!' Tenten screamed. Everyone went silent.
'Look, noob, I have not 'hypnotized Neji.' You wanna know why I called you a noob, oh naïve one? Well, first of all, think of better insults. Second of all, don't waste your breath, and MY FREAKING TIME!!!'
'Look here, boring whore, YOU DARED TO KISS NEJI!!!'
'W-what?!' Tenten looked at Neji who was as shocked. HOW THE FUCK DID THEY KNOW?!
'How did you find out?' Neji lividly asked.
'GASP! SO IT'S TRUE THEN! HOW COULD YOU DESERT US, OH SUPREME ONE?!'
'First off. I am NOT your supreme ruler or whatever…secondly, I was never with you in the first place. Now if you would excuse me, SCRAM!'
'N-neji kun…' All the girls blubbered, and burst out wailing. They ran away.
'Morons.'
'I agree. Hey Neji, HOW THE HELL DID THEY KNOW?!'
Just then, Shikamaru came around the corner.
'Man, it's so troublesome. Who would have thought that the human ice-cube could make it with a girl?' Shikamaru muttered.
Neji grabbed Shikamaru by his neck and muttered, 'HOW. THE. HELL. DO. YOU. KNOW?!'
'So troublesome. Hanabi, Moegi, Udon and Konohamaru are selling photos back there. You might want to check it out. Troublesome for you, man.'
'GRRR!'
Neji and Tenten charged around the corner, to come face to face with journalists and cameramen snapping photos just so that they could get pictures in their all-fake-news tabloids.
Ignoring them, they headed straight for the stand and headed up to Hanabi and co.
'Hanabi-sama, what's the meaning of this?!'
'N-neji nii san… ehehe… Tsunade sama gave us this A –rank mission… so of course we took it?'
'NANI?!' Tenten growled.
Suddenly, she dashed for the counter and grabbed all the photos and ripped them up… well she missed a couple, and Hinata slipped unseen and picked them up. She smiled. She would like this memory. Neji would thank her later…
Slowly, the crowd dwindled and the paparazzi left. Neji ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
'Well, we can't help it… it's Tsunade's fault… and she's the Hokage… and like you said, we still have that place…' Tenten offered.
'I know, I know. C'mon, let's grab a late breakfast…'
'Ok. But it's already 9:00 a.m.'
'Whatever.'
They walked together, avoiding stares that were headed their way, Neji glaring all the while, while Tenten was frowning, senbons in hand, ready to chuck them at whichever fangirl decided to oppose the ice cube and the fireball…
They sat down at a table in a café, and a waiter came up to them.
'Oh, it's you, Weapons Girl.'
'Haruko. It's Tenten, by the way. What are you doing here?' Tenten asked.
'Whatever, Weapons girl. Oh, nothing. I'm just here because my granddad owns this place. I'm the manager, you know?' She smirked. She would inherit her mom's business because her mom's dad (granddad) started the café.
'Well, manager, I would like to report poor service, since we haven't received our menus yet.' Neji added.
'I'm just being friendly…Neji-kun.' Haruko pouted. Tenten smirked.
'Well hurry up, I'm hungry.'
'Fine then.' Haruko handed them a menu each, all the while glowering at Tenten.
'What would you like?' Haruko directed this question at Neji.
'I would like a glass of water, and a raspberry crepe.'
'Ok, is that al-' Haruko was cut off.
'Tenten, what would you like to eat?' Neji asked, obviously enjoying annoying his distant relative.
'Hmm, I would like a glass of hot-chocolate, with exactly 10 grams of whipped cream on top, and exactly 3 milliliters of chocolate syrup squirted beautifully in many circles on top, each circle having 1cm squared less area than the previous, until you get to a dot in the middle, precisely. On top of that, I would like one glace cherry, that has had all the extra sugar syrup drained from it.
Now, for breakfast, I would like a blueberry waffle, with each blueberry having a radius of 0.7 cm. No blueberry may come within TWO CENTIMETRES of another blueberry. For the waffle itself, I would like each individual square to be 1.2 centimetres by 1.2 centimetres. Each square must be 0.6 centimetres deep. Each square must have 0.8 milliliters of 'Renaissance Canadian Maple Syrup' on it, put on in perfect circles, each having a radius of 0.25 centimetres. I would like the waffle to be completely round, with a diameter of 10 c.m. I would like two of these waffles.
That will be all.' Tenten smirked. Neji raised an eyebrow, amused.
'Anything else?' Haruko seethed.
'Oh yes, take your time, darling. I would like the manager to prepare it herself.'
Haruko stomped off.
'Ten-chan, what was that about?'
'What? It's her fault for being a bitch…' Tenten said innocently.
'Uh. Huh?' Neji answered.
'The truth is, I'm not that hungry. I don't even have the patience to calculate pi times 0.5 squared. So, I just want to annoy her. Knowing her, she'll probably spit in my food before she brings it.'
'Hn.' Neji chuckled.
His food came within five minutes.
'Hey Tenten, want some? Knowing you, you're going to leave just as she brings the food in, right?'
'Yeah sure… and RIGHT ON!'
Tenten used her fork and cut off a bit of Neji raspberry crepe and tasted it.
'How is it?'
'Blech! Neji, how can you eat this shit? The raspberries are bitter.'
'I like it bitter? And I add sugar syrup to it?'
'Uhuh… nevermind.'
They had their food and chatted a little, waiting for Tenten's dish to come. Just as they saw a flustered Haruko walk out with a tray that contained a steaming mug and what appeared to be two waffles, Neji and Tenten both stood up. Neji left a wad of cash behind, making sure to give a huge tip.
'I'm sorry, but you were too slow. I've already left a complaint, but Neji's food was quite good, so we're giving you a tip anyway.' Tenten smirked.
They left gracefully, leaving a fuming Haruko who had even used up her week's salary to hire a geek to do the goddamned math. Why? She assumed that she would make the money back because she would charge extra for Tenten's meal, and add service charge. But when she checked the money, they had just left enough money for Neji's crepe and water, with a 15 tip and 10 service charge.
'GRRRRRRR!' She growled angrily.
Tenten skipped alongside Neji. 'Do you think that was harsh?'
'No, I think you put her in her place. She just thinks she's superior because her mother's genes were able to win over the Hyuuga genes, therefore allowing her not to attain the Byakugan.'
'Blah blah blah. In my opinion, she was a bitch… just like any other fangirl. So yeah… Anyway, let's go back to training.'
The days passed…
The day of the fight arrived.
'Neji, are you ready?'
'Are you kidding me?'
'Nope.'
'Of course I'm ready!'
'Fine… sheesh…'
They were walking to the Hyuuga compound after a quick spar for Neji to warm up. On their way, they met Haruko.
'Oi, Weapons girl. Hazashi WILL win.'
'Yeah… sure…'
They entered the Hyuuga compound where Hinata ran up to wish Neji luck. They headed to the main training ground. Tenten already knew the compound was HUGE so she wasn't surprised when she came across a brand new ground that was the size of three quarters of a football field.
'Wow… who would've thought Hiashi actually went through with the whole renovating the East section…' Tenten wondered aloud.
'Hn.' Neji smirked.
'Alright everybody, settle down!' Hiashi called to the people who had filled up the stadium seats.
'Fighters! To your positions!'
'Alright Neji, fight well, but not too well!' Tenten encouraged.
'Well duh… I want to beat him… but if I'm too good, then I'm going to have to marry Yukiko…'
'Good one. Anyway, go!'
Neji walked onto the centre of the hall and Hazashi was there smirking.
'What took you so long, afraid you might get beaten?'
'Actually, no. I was just testing your patience.'
'Hmmph.'
'Alright! BEGIN!'
With that, Hazashi activated his bloodline limit, and Neji muttered, 'Byakugan!'
Neji analyzed the situation carefully. He knew that Hazashi was unable to do the Kaiten, but he was indeed capable of performing the Divination Trigrams Rokujuyon sho. This was going to be easy. Neji needed to get close range.
Suddenly, Hazashi threw a volley of senbon towards Neji, who merely deflected them with two kunai. Stupid move, Neji had had loads of practice in the past with Tenten. Hazashi then jumped and went into hand to hand combat. Another stupid move, since Neji had had loads of practice with Lee.
Neji was almost tempted to let go of the Byakugan because he wasn't even fighting with half his strength. Hiashi smirked. He dodged a couple of karate chops aimed at his shoulder. They had both adopted horse stance fighting- fighting with only their hands. Hazashi left his blocking arm too far out, enabling Neji to grab it with one hand, dragging it in a direction that caused Hazashi to lose his balance, and since he couldn't defend his side that was now facing Neji, Neji punched his gut. This was a basic white-belt technique.
(A/N: I just joined karate and it is a basic attack that I learned today . :D)
Hazashi regained his balanced and jumped back, landing clumsily. Suddenly he muttered, 'Chakra envelopment no jutsu.'
Chakra chains sprang from his arms and went to surround Neji, each chain trying to either sever or grab Neji's limbs, but Neji was too quick. Although a couple of chains manage to latch on, he managed to get rid of them.
'Hakkekusho Kaiten!' Neji spun in his heavenly whirl.
Some of the Hyuugas 'Ah'd and 'Ooh'd. Hazashi was knocked back a couple of metres. He caught his breath.
Neji stopped spinning. He ran up to Hazashi and engaged in hand to hand combat. He was tempting Hazashi to use the divination trigram palms on him. Finally, Hazashi fell for it.
'Hakke Rokujuyon sho!'
But Neji, at the same time, already predicting this, said,
'Hakke Hyaku Ni ju hachi sho!'
They both started hitting each others' tenkutsu points, Neji missing a few of Hazashi's on purpose, while Hazashi missed nearly all of them. About halfway through the whole thing, Hazashi stopped while Neji continued, albeit going very, very easy on him.
They staggered to the ground, (Neji faking), and people were looking on intrigued. Neji got up, with hardly a scratch on him. Hazashi on the other hand was struggling to get up. Tenten could feel Haruko next to her glowering, willing Hazashi to get up.
Finally Hazashi staggered up, two minutes Neji had been pretending to be gasping while tending to his wounds. Hiashi and Tenten smirked.
Suddenly, Hazashi put his hands together in a handsign. Hiashi jaw tightened. Neji's eyes widened. Hiashi opened his mouth angrily, about to say something. Hinata and Hanabi both yelled,
'NO!'
At the same time as Hazashi said, 'Caged Bird Seal, KAI!'
Suddenly, Neji dropped to the ground writhing in agony, screaming in pain. He was clutching his forehead, digging his nails in so hard that they started to bleed.
'NEJI!!!' Tenten rushed to his side, crying. Hiashi stood up.
'Hazashi. Let go of the jutsu, NOW!'
'Nope, no rules say that I can't!'
'Neji!!!' Tenten weeped on his shoulder, trying to soothe him. Suddenly, she stood up, and aimed one hundred kunai at Hazashi, and flung them. About 20 made their mark. Hazashi let go.
'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, BASTARD?!' Tenten screamed at Hazashi.
'Shut up, bitch. I can do what I like, I'm a MAIN HOUSE member.'
At this point Hinata was hugging a sobbing Hanabi while she herself let a few tears slip. Hiashi stormed over to Hazashi.
Suddenly, the Amekage stood up.
'It seems that we will enforce a new rule. Since Tenten-san has helped Neji, Hazashi may choose ONE girl to fight alongside him. Tenten will fight along side Neji. We will now have a 5 minute recovery period.'
The arena erupted into chaos. Hinata, Hanabi and a couple of other Hyuugas surrounded the gasping Neji and crying Tenten…
'Neji…'
TBC!!! HA! I BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!!! LOL!!!
