Autumn
Chapter 10
Haah... Neji... Fuck... I can feel the solid, smooth back of Neji under my fingers. It's so hot in my palms with the constant moving of muscles underneath my hands. Haa... No... His cock is sliding in and hitting my very spot. Why is he making love with me in such a slow pace? As if he's wanting to torture me all along. I can't see his face because it was dark in my room, but I know his scent, his beautiful, undeniable scent. I pulled myself up, so that my cheeks were resting in the nook of his strong neck and my nose nuzzling his white, muscle-defined shoulders. Ahhh…The feel of his cock inside me, was sliding on and off my dirty insides. "Neji..." my voice sounded hollow but I don't care. I started tightening my legs behind his back and smoothing that soft, brown, silky hair. I wanted to look at him but I never did. I feel ashamed of me being so aroused. "Neji..." I called again but then it's as if he didn't heard me, he lowered me on the mattress and begun to hammer on me. I gasped at the suddenness of it but then I heard him pant and that sound nearly sent me to my orgasm. And so, I throw my head on my pillow and just felt his big cock twitching and hitting my spot. I was about to cry out my release but then something hit me, like a bucket of ice scattering inside my belly. "What?!" then as I look around my room, there's no Neji. No. No signs of anyone at all. I pushed myself up and instantly became aware of my body drenched in sweat. My tank top was beyond wet as if I thrown myself into the river. And what made me so disturbingly aware of my arousal were my also drenched panties. Not from sweat but from... I get out of bed and changed my tank top with a blue, big, looser one. When I was to change my cotton undies, I gasped because of my sensitivity. Then I remember, before I go to bed that I wanted to masturbate because of Neji's sexy sight at the forest earlier but didn't do it coz I felt guilty by thinking about him that way. Then I had a dream about the boy I love having sex with me. And so here I am wanting to touch myself again because of the damn dream. It's so vivid. I sat on my bed and started recalling the dream. I touched my lips with my forefinger. "I wish he would kiss me..." then to my already taut, hard nipples. Oh... Why am I so naughty? I trailed my other hand to my exposed belly and moaned a little as I remember the feel of his cock, sliding in and out of me. Haaa... I touch my undies where I could rub my clit and I instantly closed my eyes at the feel of it. Fuck. How can I be so aroused by just a dream? Maybe it's too surreal and still so vivid. "I love you Neji." I whispered and before I knew it I was shuddering at the feel of my intense orgasm. I am bucking my hips at the image of Neji thrusting inside of me.
And that's what I am thinking about at this moment as I guiltily twirl a lock of my brown hair. I've masturbated last night thinking about Neji but I accepted a date as if he never did exist.
"Akihito-kun asked you in a date?" Lee asked as if there's no one who'll be ever asking me out.
"Yes." I looked at Neji's milky eyes. This is the only time that I've looked into those beautiful purple shaded hues. I can't look at him earlier. Damn. I can't even say good luck to him because of what I did in my bed but still I love him. I am so in love with him that I wanted him to know that.
"And you accepted it when he asked you?" Neji asked joining Lee and me under the faint shade of the tree.
"Yes. I'm sorry." I looked at the ground. Why am I sorry for, really? For the past several years, no one asked me out because of these two shinobis. They're constantly shooing suitors and admirers with their glares. I don't mind at all. I'm in love with the Hyuuga after all.
"I never should let my guard down. I never thought that that kid would be so taken by Tenten's charms because he looks popular and the two girls are just too adorable, I can't let them pass Neji. That's why it's my fault for letting our flower be violated by that kid." Lee said exaggeratedly and I rolled my eyes at him.
"It's not like he's doin' somethin' bad. It's a friendly date." I said looking at Neji. Then he sighed.
"We bat an eye and you get yourself a boyfriend." the Hyuuga said and his eyes were as cold as ice. Chill run to my spine and made my head ache. Why is he acting like this? Is that big of a deal that I get myself a boyfriend? Arrghh… The kid is not even not my boyfriend, damn it.
"I will not do anything funny. You can follow me later, you two, if you want." Why am I being so defensive? I can go on a date without their fuckin' permission. Neji is just eyeing me. But then he looked at Lee.
"You'll follow them, Lee. I got somethin' to do." he told Lee as he started to walk away.
"Eehh?! Isn't that weird? I mean, doin' it with my own?" Lee protested.
"It will be a lot more suspicious if the two of us followed them. Besides, it's your fault right?" Neji said. And somewhat he looked at me before he turned his back on us, his cold Hyuuga eyes bearing what? Is that disappointment? Anger? Sadness? Then he was striding towards the hall again. No. Neji.,, And I was filled with a sudden guilt that so powerful I could feel myself shaking.
"Looks like he's mad." I cocked my brow at Lee.
"He's angry at you." I pointed at him.
"No. Naturally he will be mad at you." he sighed. "You know how we are to you when it comes to boys. You are the flower and we protect you. We're family here." I glared at him and I don't know what angers me more, the fact that they think of me as some baby who needs to be looked at or the fact that they're overreacting about this. I mean, I feel really guilty for not thinking about Neji when Akihito asked me out but Neji being so mad about this is just... a little bit off. Weird.
"So. I will escort you at your date. When and where?"
"When? He told me 5 o'clock this afternoon. But he never told me where." I said uninterested. Lee cocked his bushy brow at me.
"Seriously Ten-chan?" I rolled my eyes at him.
"Well, I'll just wait for him at my house. If he comes then we'll go but if he didn't then sorry." I think that kid is witty. Somewhat I know that he can manage and work things out without goin' into details just like Neji.
"Hey. You'll be on the background. Use your sneaky skills. I don't want him to think that some freaky bastard is following us, understand?" I told Lee and he sighed as he looked at the autumn sky.
"I never thought that kid has his hots on you."
As I was thinking earlier, Akihito-kun has a way of knowing things. He knows where I live and I was shocked that I was not shock when he did knock on my door, as if I was clearly expecting him to be there because I've given him my address.
"How did you know where my house is?" I asked as I peeked on my door and eventually let the charming blonde in.
"I've used genjutsu." he answered.
"I thought you can't use it unless you're threatened."
"I was threatened." I raised my eyebrow at him. "I was threatened of you not accepting the date. I don't want that so I used some pretty tricks." he smiled that very charming mouth.
"Alright. Let me just grab the house key upstairs. Sit down please."
"Ahh! Tenten-senpai, why don't you change to your yukata." he said as I was ascending my stairs. I looked questioningly at him. "Well, I want to take you to the festival, near the Hako bridge." ohh... I heard about that festival a couple of days ago.
"Changing in a yukata requires time, I don't want you to wait."
"I'll wait. I know it's worth it. Besides, it's just five. The parade will start at seven." he flashed again that very charming smile. I think about it for a sec.
"Okay. Let me just grab you a drink before I change."
Well, he's a charmer as I've been saying so many times now. That's why I will not be surprised if he pretended to be stunned by my appearance. I changed into my blue and yellow flower patterned yukata. The obi is dark blue with a brown string holder. It's old but I've used it once so I kinda want to wear it again. I braided my hair into two lowered ties and just let a few strands fell in front. I put a matching yellow daisy clip on the top of my braids. I look like my usual self, not at all stunning. And as I descended the wooden narrow stairs, I saw Akihito watching TV. When he saw me, well, as I've said, he pretended to be stunned. I sighed and just narrow my gaze at him.
"You don't have to pretend to be stunned. I'm plain enough to know that." he scrunched his nose but he still eyed me coolly.
"Why do you have to think that? You're beautiful. I'm more than honored to take you on a date."
"A friendly date."
"Oh yes. A friendly date." he turned off the TV and walked towards me. I descended the last steps of the stairs and walked to my door.
"Let's go." I told him nonchalantly and I don't know why, but I am not really excited on going to a date with him unlike going with Neji on a Takoyaki restaurant that makes me so giddy and it was not even a date. I wish I didn't accept the whole damn thing.
"You don't look happy." Akihito said as we stepped on the autumn afternoon. The sun was nowhere in the sky but I can still see the orange-purple streaks of it. The thin clouds were covering the near-night blanket and I know that somewhat the moon is already there.
"If you're thinkin' I'm not happy then please make this date happy. It's the parting smile that counts." he laughed at my retort and I confusedly eyed him, his ruby eyes shining in the afternoon-night sky, the orange hues blending with his red ones. If I am not in love with Neji, I will be thinking of kissing this charming boy.
"You are really interesting Tenten-senpai." he chuckled more. "I like girls who don't pretend and just blurt what is in their minds." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Charmer." I whispered.
"What?" he said following me as I walked towards the path of graying stones. "What did you said Tenten-senpai?"
"Nothin'. Let's go."
The Hako bridge festival was as colorful as any festival would be. The stalls and the banners rolled on like many toys and candies for kids. I was mesmerized by the glowing of lanterns and candle lights, the red-orange, blue-violet hues dancing with all the bright scenery.
"We're still early for the parade." the blonde charming boy said.
"There will be fireworks, right?" I asked.
"Yeah. After the parade." he said. The flow of people increased as we ascend the temple and I know that Lee is watching us from the shadows. I can feel his faint chakra. But it was just a speck. Akihito would not even feel it, unless he focuses.
"Do want some yakisoba Tenten-senpai?" Akihito asked. I just shook my head at him. He smiled sadly at me. "I may be doin' really good things this night to make you happy but then if you don't allow me..." I looked at him and I felt disappointed at myself. All this time, I'm just nursing my own guilt towards Neji. All I do is to ruin this night. All I do is to think of Neji watching with Lee, behind those trees and bushes. I can't feel his presence but I know. I know. Somewhat at the back of my mind, he will also be following us. I don't know why I was thinking like this. He told us that he would be busy but the way he acted earlier, made me think of him being with Lee and scouting us too.
"I'm sorry. My mind's a little bit off." I said and he looked so charming with that ruby eyes dancing with the bright festival lights. He's so cute and I feel guilty for being so grim on this date. "Ohh. Now I feel guilty." I smiled wryly at him and he chuckled.
"Then, please squeeze my face later then after that we're even. What do you say?" even his offer reeks of charm.
"Alright." Then we heard the beating of the ancient drums, the shamisens playing and people were making way for the masked characters that were dancing with the beat. The mask is somewhat like of the anbu mask but more colorful with different streaks of red and orange. The fox mask. At the very end of the line, I can see a boxed cart that was to carry the head priestess but before that there were little fox-masked kids that were dancing and running in circles. I think these kids are little boys because they're wearing a blue shinto priest cap with matching costume. After that I saw little girls demurely walking in princesses' dress and they're cheeks were red with blush paints. I remember when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a princess but after my parents died being a ninja is a priority.
The parade rolled with the drum and stringed instruments' beat and I was amazed by its colors and rhythm that Akihito needed to tug on my sleeves twice for me to look at him. He was smiling that boyish smile again.
"What?" looking back at the continuing line of colors.
"When they reached the temple there will be a thirty-minute ceremony then the fireworks will start." at this point the priestess' cart was in front of us and everybody is cheering. The crowd is loud enough so I didn't bother to reply, I just watched the parade to continue its journey to the little glimpse of lantern lights.
"The parade was beautiful. Thank you for inviting me." I told Akihito as we made our way out of the crowd.
"Wait till you see fireworks display." he smiled at me. He's sweating a little bit now, his soft blonde strands sticking a little to his pale face.
"I forgot about this Hako bridge festival, I kinda heard about it but it's a bit far from my house maybe that's why my friends didn't think of goin'." I brought out my matching flower patterned hanky and wiped my face of the sweat. I don't want to know the state of my hair with this clinging crowd. Maybe I looked like hell right now, but who cares. It's only Aki- Then as if struck by a rod, cold sweat breaking in my arms and neck, I remember that Neji is here, watching us. God. And I looked like a mess. I put lock of brown hair at the back of my ear.
"Tenten-senpai? You looked pale suddenly. Do you want to sit?" Yes. I do want that. Maybe it's the thick crowd and the heavy hot air mixed with the autumn breeze or maybe it's the conscious panic. Why am I thinking of Neji now? I closed my eyes and concentrated my chakra. Lee. Yes he's here. Maybe 50-60 meters away. More. I need to detect Neji. Concentrate. But there's nothing. Nothing at all. Well, a Hyuuga is a great assassin. Byakugan paired with hidden chakras is their specialty. I'm not surprised that he was chosen to be the Anbu Security Leader. But even if he hides his chakra, I know his presence. I know him. I know his piercing icy glares. Damn, I even know his scent. I know his near and now I'm getting really dizzy.
"Tenten-senpai?" I felt Akihito's strong grip at the small of my back and as if by instinct I clung to his biceps and the muscles contract to my touch.
"Sorry. I just felt sick because of the crowd." and instantly he was carrying me princess style, hopping to the nearest tree branch. Before I could protest he hopped to another higher branch of the tree. He settled me to the thick branch that overlooked the crowd of dispersing people who're trying to find a place to sit for the fireworks display.
"Let's watch here. It will look closer and prettier." he smiled at me and also, I smiled him.
"Thank you." I said and it occurred to me that I just met this blonde charming boy this morning but it's as if he's too familiar to me. Maybe it's his natural charm that makes people at ease with him.
"I'm the one that should be thanking you Tenten-senpai. Thank you for giving me this privilege." and I just chuckled at his sudden politeness.
"It's not a privilege. I know that you are popular with the girls and so I'm really thinkin' what is wrong with your eyes today that you need to take me on." I said and he just eyed me.
"I told you. You're beautiful Tenten-senpai. And I think I'm in-" then the display begun. The sound of the cracking and booming of the colorful lights in the sky loomed over us, drowning Akihito's words. I smiled as the colors swapped with different variant of shapes and forms. Neji is under this same colorful patterns and next time I will be standing next to him, to the boy I truly love and I will also tell him 'I love you' or 'I'm forever in love with you' and so eventually letting my voice drown by the loud booming sounds. And now as the green and blue sparkle of lights continued to glow in the autumn night sky, letting my voice echoed with the firework's cry, I said, "Neji, I love you." and I felt light-headed, giddy enough to make a moist in the corner of my eye. I didn't mouth it like always, I've actually said it and I felt like laughing and crying at the same time. I put my hands to my mouth as I stifled a... sob? laugh? I don't know. I don't know anymore. And as I gaze at the colorful night sky, I can feel the blonde boy's eye on me but I did not dare to look at him, afraid of what to see in his ruby red eyes.
After the display, Akihito took me home but I told him that he doesn't need to see me to the door.
"Thank you for everything today Akihito-kun." I told him as we reached my lovely path towards my home sweet old home.
"I'm very much honored to be in your presence today, my lady." then he bowed exaggeratedly with the swing of a gentlemen's hand. I giggled at his posture as I was turning my back to him but then he hold on my yukata sleeves. "You promise to squeeze my cheeks, right?" he told me with that charming smile and I smiled at him too.
"Yeah. Come 'ere." he straighten and put his hands on my waist, leaning for me to reach on his very cute face. The pale moonless night and the street lights glowered on us and I feel like messing his hair so I tipped toe and ran my hands to that soft thick blonde hair. He closed his eyes as I trailed my palms to his cheeks. Then I squeezed and I giggled and suddenly he leaned more and I was taken aback but I was holding his cheeks so whatever his attempt was, I stopped it.
"You playful boy." as I squeezed harder makin' him leaned more inches to my face and he tilt his face a little as I tugged on his left cheek, that's when hell break loose. I just saw the blonde kid's cheeks sliding off my grip and a flash of blurred bodies crossing my vision. Then I heard a loud thud and a gasp, instantly my head swiveled to my right side of vision and I saw Neji's muscular form under the pale street light. He's mounting Akihito and punching his now already battered face. It's just seconds but I know Neji is strong and fast enough to make that happen. The tree they were leaning on was bending a little because of Neji's strong, powerful blows. I was stunned by the sight. His fast furious fist was digging on the boy's face that's when I heard myself screaming in horror.
"Neji! STOP!" I was about to charge to his broad back when I knew that he can't hear me anymore but then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Let them be. It's his fault. He kissed you so Neji is just teaching him a lesson." Lee said and I instantly looked at him in horror and disgust.
"HE DID NOT FUCKIN' KISSED ME!" shit. Neji would kill him if I don't stop him now. I rushed to him, lifting my yukata a little to my knees and kicked him on the biceps as strong as I can. He flew sideways to the nearest tree at my left side and I hurriedly lifted Akihito's body and teleported to the Uchiha household. It takes all my chakra to kick Neji and to transport myself and a boy bigger than me to the far end side of the village so by this time I can't even lift the boy. I laid him down on the cold ground. I can't see his face because of the darkness but I know he was severely damaged, I can sense the blood oozing his nose and mouth. God. I feel like crying but no, I tap his cheek that was a while ago so smooth and soft but now was so battered and swollen, I wanted to just say sorry to him forever.
"Akihito-kun?" I whispered, gulping a lump in my throat. I tap his cheek again and he just groaned, forcing one blackening eye to open. I smiled sadly at him. "Just makin' sure you're still alive before I turn you to the medic." he was forcin' a smile and I just ran my forefinger to his lips. I stood and banged as hard as I can on the Uchiha's door.
"Sakura-chan, I need you to keep this a secret, okay?" I told Sakura as she tended of the last of Akihito's wounds. She was currently putting a fresh bandage on his head. Sakura answered the door groggily but then all her sleepiness flew away when she saw the battered kid. I was in near tears but then when she looked at me, I knew it, she needed me to be alert despite of my exhaustion.
"I can carry him inside. I just need you to lock the gates. Okay?" I just nodded at her. The cherry girl carried Akihito's body up by her shoulder as if he was just a sack of rice. Sakura really do have that physical strength like Tsunade-sama. I followed her inside the Uchiha household, closed the door gates and walked with Sakura in haste towards the big eerie house.
She put anesthetic on Akihito and put chakra on her hands. She began to move her fingers on the surface of the boy's face.
"No broken bones. He's lucky." and after that she just put on some medicine on the wounds and bandage his head. Akihito groaned every now and then.
"So, before I kept this a secret. Can I guess who've done this to him." she said and I just nodded. She looked at me with those green bright eyes. "Is it Neji?" and again I just nodded without looking at her. "Can I ask why?"
"I don't know. I don't know anymore, Sakura-chan. I mean, I was also confused myself so…" I put my forefinger in between my brows and move it in circles as if massaging that spot would help me find some answers why Neji did that. "Lee told me that it was Akihito's fault. They thought he kissed me." Sakura regarded me for a while. She was thinking.
"Those two are so over protective but to almost kill this boy, I think Neji has a lot more to say." Neji? He's always composed and cool-headed. He cannot do such a thing without a reason. Sakura stood straight for crouching on the bed. "Don't you think he's jealous?" Sakura said as she put the ointments and medicines in its rack again.
"God, jealous of what?" I said and Sakura looked at me weird.
"Of course if he doesn't want you to be kissed then he's obviously jealous. Are you on a date with this kid?" I blushed furiously. Fuck. "Well, you're in a yukata and as the story goes, your two youthful teammates were followin' you and when the kid tried to get his kiss, your forever loving Neji pounced on him, right?"
"He was not trying to kiss me. I was just squeezin' his cheeks, damn it!" I pulled on my silky brown locks, frustrated not only at Neji but also to myself. "I wish I never had accepted this date. It makes me feel weird. I mean I love Neji and all but then I am slightly attracted to this boy, and fuck I just met him this morning at the ceremony, not to mention he's younger than me." I continued to rant and the pink-haired, soon to be Uchiha just stared at me. "And Neji being so weird about all of this. He seemed mad when I told him about the date. He even told Lee to look after me coz he has something to do but then I can feel him Sakura-chan. God! He's also there watching me and the fact-" Sakura gave me a glass of water and I sipped a little. "The fact that he just jumped on the boy at the middle of nowhere proved that he's there and he wanted to kill him. He's so weird. I mean, God knows I'm guilty for accepting a date from a total stranger and not thinkin' about him, whom I love so much forever but for him to act weird and what did you say? Jealous? That's weird! It's not like he-" then it hit me like a blow of a kick in the gut and I feel light headed. No. No. That's not it. He's not that. He has nothing like that. He just wanted to protect me. I looked at Sakura and she just smile at me.
"I will keep this a secret Tenten, but how about the boy? He might say something."
"No. I can manage Akihito." I said and I just stood there, looking at the battered boy. Neji could've killed him. Why did he assume that Akihito kissed me? He had the all seeing-eye but then he didn't saw the damn thing? Was he really blinded by some emotion?
"You should rest." Sakura told me. "But then you don't want to go home so that when he wakes up, you could talk to him." she continued as she draw a pillow and a blanket from a sliding cabinet. "You could sleep in the couch." she tapped on the brown worn old couch near the bed. "Or you want to sleep in one of our guest rooms?"
"No. I'm good. Thank you so much. I owe you one Sakura-chan." I said as she slid the paper door. "Sorry for disturbing you at this hour." the pink haired leaned on the sliding door.
"Yeah. Atleast you owe me one and Ten-chan..." she's regarding me with that beautiful green eyes. She really is exquisite. If I was to compare to her, I am merely a trash.
"Yeah?" I asked and she paused for a while, her gaze moving from Akihito to mine.
"I think Neji has some hots on you." I flushed bright red but before I say something she was gone. What is the word 'hots' these days mean?
The day was slightly damp but then the sun was brightly shinning at the east. I closed my eyes again but then a little movement touch my peripheral vision and I remembered where I am. I abruptly sat up from the couch and saw Akihito's sitting frail form on the bed, his ruby red eyes looking outside the window. His soft disheveled blonde hair making him looked younger and handsomer despite his wounded situation. Another minute pass, I was looking at him and he was looking at the window but then I stood up and he turned his head to my direction.
"You're up early Tenten-senpai." he smiled at me even though it takes a lot of effort. The bluish black eye making his right eye bulge, cut at his upper left brow and to the corner of his mouth. His cheek was swollen and his nose was a little dislocated but then his smile was so serene and his red eyes were so calm.
"Akihito-kun... I..." I felt like crying but then I stopped the lump in my throat. "I'm sorry." words do fail me at that time. I don't know what to say. How can I defend Neji if I can't even understand him?
"You don't need to apologized Tenten-senpai." He smiled at me and I was filled with a sudden surge of guilt, a sudden urge to make Neji apologize to this boy as soon as possible.
"Akihito-kun, I need you to not to tell about this to anyone." I told him, sitting at the side of the bed, my yukata parting a little. "Please." I put my hands on top of his.
"You don't need ask senpai. I'll tell them I was attacked by a bear." and he was about to laugh but then refrain to do so when he realize that it will just cause him a lot of pain.
"Thank you." I said and again he painfully smiled at me.
I spend the whole morning talking with Akihito, knowing him and just be his friend. I think I owe the kid one or I just feel guilty of him getting hurt because of me. At mid noon, Sakura checked on him again. Putting fresh bandage and reapplying some ointments. She also gave him some medicines to drink.
"You are so ready to go kid." Sakura said cheerily.
"Thank you so much Sakura-senpai." he said as he put on the fresh plain grey kimono that Sakura lend him. I also don't want him to go home with his blood stained shirt.
"You're cute." the cherry girl said out of nowhere making Akihito paused a moment and smiled.
"I won't believed you with my face like this senpai." he retorted and I giggled.
"No. I've heard about you, the red-eyed gengitsu user, the kid and the boy version of Kurenai-sensei. You are popular with the girls." Sakura said. Akihito just looked at her amused. But he did not say anything and just continued on tying his kimono. "So how do you plan on goin' home? Your face would be a problem if someone sees you." the pink-haired said and the blonde boy just regarded me.
"We set on dusk. Is that alright Sakura-chan?" I asked and she just nodded. No one will see if we stealthily go on dark woods and avoid streetlights. We can also hop on roofs without getting notice but I don't think Akihito is fit for that. I can't use teleportation anymore. It requires a full chakra recovery and for that to happen, I need 24 hours cool down.
"Okay. No problem with me." she smiled at me and I am very grateful that I have a medic friend.
At dusk Akihito and I set off. I safely tucked him in his apartment at the far east side of the village. I told him sorry again and the charming kid just smiled at me and told me not to be sorry anymore. After that I went home, took a quick bath and changed to my usual plain attire. Then as I was looking at the darkening sky, the pale crescent moon peaking a little beyond the thin clouds, I was instantly filled with sudden madness, maybe desperateness. I need to talk to Neji.
I first checked the Hyuuga household and saw Hanabi at the gates playing with some kids. I asked her where Neji is and she told me that he was training. So I go to our training ground but no Neji. I sat on a branch and just think where the hell he was. I was struck with an idea, but then I saw a green jumpsuit walking on its hands towards the clearing. I immediately jumped on the meadow and forced my feet on the ground and rounded for a kick but Lee immediately dodged my feet so I tried the other one. Thank God I didn't forget to go home and change to my t-shirt and trousers. Lee hopped on his hands away from me, standing with a battle stance. I forgot that he's a taijutsu master so I get a kunai and ran towards him, hand-sealed and the kunai turned to a big blade boomerang. I throw it at him and he just tucked under. But boomerangs swing around. He was caught off guard by the blade so I produced a scroll and rained weapons on him. He was surrounded by a cloud of dust and I jumped to the nearest tree branch.
"Do you want to kill me, flower?" I heard Lee's voice in the cloud of dust. As it clears, I saw his hand bandage slightly off his arm. He used his first gate to defend himself.
"Why did Neji do that?" I asked.
"I told you, that boy was kissing you and-"
"He was not damn kissing me! I was just squeezin' his fuckin' cheeks!" I shouted at him. "Wasn't he using his byakugan? I'm pretty sure he could see us from a different angle." I said a little calmer. Lee jumped away from the scattered weapons and sealed his arm again.
"No. He was not using his byakugan. When he saw the boy angling his head, he just jumped out off our hiding place and pounced on him like a fiery beast. He just loses control, that's all." Neji? My cool-headed Neji, lose control? Over a petty little boy? What the-? "You know, Ten-chan, he was just so jumpy and weird the whole night. I saw him flinched when the boy hold on your sleeves. He was fretting all over. He told us that he was not coming but he was already at your house before I arrived." Lee said, hopping and sitting himself beside me. "I'm sorry I let him have his steam out. I thought that when he beat the boy, he will stop being so weird, so I let him. But then, after you left..." I was now looking at him with very wide eyes. "After you left with that boy, he just sat there where you kicked him and it took me awhile to bring him home." Lee said without looking at me and I followed his gaze to the eerie dark trees that were slightly bending to our training ground. The moon was bright but the constant passing of the thin clouds dimmed the surroundings for a while.
"Where is he?" I asked but the Gai-sensei junior just shook his head.
"Last time I saw him was when I took him home, but I'm pretty sure he's not there, right?" he said and I just nodded. "Well..." he stood up and just looked at the moon with his arm across on his chest. "I think you know where he is right now."
I know that somehow, Neji is in our other training ground. When we don't want to train with Lee or Gai-sensei, we always go to that place. No one knew that place except for the two of us. It was in the boundary of Konoha. The trees were super tall and eerie, you don't want to pass those. But then beyond those lonely trees is a sweet waterfalls that flows to a river so clear you can see beyond the crystal like mirror. The two of us discovered the place late in our genin years while on a mission of finding a rare lotus. After that we've always go to that solitary place to train or to meditate. And as I assume that Neji was there, I practiced on my mind on what should I say to him.
"You are so weird, baka." No. That's a little sweet. I want to be a little angry. "You're so moronic sometimes. Where's the genius you?" No. That's just so harsh. "Nee, Neji, you know I hate it when you're getting weird. Baka!" Stop with the baka, baka. You won't be solving anything just by calling him stupid. I don't want to just say something that I don't mean. I want him to know that I'm not just angry but would want to understand him so much.
As I landed on the clearing near the river, I swept the surroundings with any signs of Neji. Nothing. He's not here. But where in hell is he? I gazed at the clear waters and felt the ground. The sound of the flowing river streamed my ears as I opened my senses, the water, the earth, the bright crescent moon. Energy flows everywhere but I just need one distinct chakra. Neji's chakra. I can't feel him. No signs of him. Even just his scent. Neji. Neji. Neji. I love you Neji. And before I knew it, I was pinned to the ground. The sudden force took the air out of my lungs making my eyes shut closed tight. I felt strong grip on both my wrist and before I open my eyes I knew who was on top of me. His scent closing in my senses, his powerful body, the creases and the planes. How can't I know? How could I not be affected by this hot skin?
"Neji..." I whispered as I opened my eyes just to see that cold unreadable purple hues. Then I was filled with confusion by the looks in those beautiful milky eyes. Is it rage? No. Maybe disappointment. I tried to escape his steel grip but I can't. I'm strong but not enough to push him away. And I was also weakened by his hot breath. His face is just inches away from mine, his lower half pinning my legs to the ground. I instantly blushed at the realization. I moved my gaze away from his. "Neji, please move away from me." I whispered but he pinned me more and let his face move closer to mine and I instantly closed my eyes.
"Why?" he breathe. Why? The fuck why? Coz I can't think when you're this close. I gulp a lump in my throat for me to speak but then to my shock, really, I was so shock I gasped so loud. He licked my fuckin' throat while I was gulping, as if trailing his tongue to that moving lump. I instantly opened my eyes to look at him. "You liked that?" he said and with obvious, what, disgust in his tone. I was instantly at a burning rage but when I was about to say something nasty, he kissed me. No. Fuckin' bruisin' my lips. He's biting it in between those beautiful kisses and I was angry and aroused, I don't know which one is makin' me so hot. I can also feel the awakening of something hard in between his thighs. Neji. He's getting hard by kissing me? The plain, ugly me? I started to struggle underneath him but he's so strong. It only intensifies the kiss, making it more sensual and hot. When his tongue licked my mouth, I gasped and writhed beneath him, making my lips open for his intrusion and for a moment I let our silky hot tongues enjoyed the pleasure of so much nerve endings that I might faint. Neji moaned when I closed my lips to his tongue. I want to say I love him. I want to make love to him, to run my fingers to that pretty brown hair. But I can't. I just can't. He withdrew his tongue from mine and bit my lower lip until I moaned sweet and I felt his cock twitched heavily in my thighs. After the biting, he released my bottom lip with a grunt.
Then, nothing. I was instantly aware of the sounds around us, the river, the falls, the crickets and the wind and my really hot and arouse body. Our heavy, labored breaths, our sweating limbs and the scent of pleasure that was surrounding us is just suffocating. I slowly opened my eyes. I love him. I'm ready to forgive him to what he did to Akihito, I am so ready to say I'm sorry too for not understanding him. But then as I opened my eyes and saw his face, his beautiful cold face, bathe by the bright moon light, I saw him grinning. Grinning like a devil he used to be. Back when he was engulfed by destiny and fate and was so haunted by his past. That painful grin that always makes my heart clench. Why is he grinning like that now? Why?!
"Did you like that?" he said as he released both of my hands. "I didn't know that you're such a whore that you've always wanted to be kissed like a bitch." he was now standing up and I was so stunned by his beauty under the moonlight and by his words. "If I knew that, then I just have told Lee to let those damn suitors of yours to fuck you senseless until you are so satisfied you can't stand." I was so stunned. No other words… just… stunned. I was just so stunned. And shocked. I don't know what to do. I was just lying there at the cold damp earth, makin' no sounds, makin' no movements, just looking at him, aroused and just... stunned. Then after that everything just went blurry and foggy, I can't even feel my body, I've gone numbed. My muscles, my bones, my brain and maybe even my heart.
"Fuck you..." I heard myself whisper. "Fuck you." and I saw him looked at me with pure shock. What is he shocked about? I stood up and looked at him with contempt, with disappointment, with rage. "Fuck you." I just want to say those words to him. His eyes grew big and his expression melted my heart. He didn't mean it? Is that what his face was saying? I don't know. My heart should've melted but I just felt numb to the core.
"Im sor-"
"Fuck you!" I said stepping back away from him as he advanced towards me.
"Tenten, I-"
"Fuck you! Fuck you Neji! FUCK YOU! I love you!" I heard myself shouting at him, and he just looked at me shocked and confused. I felt hot tears streaming down my face. It won't stop. It won't stop just like the falls behind him. "Fuck you coz I love you so much. I love you! I just fuckin' love you and you can't fuckin' understand! YOU DON'T FUCKIN' KNOW! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU NEJI!" I shouted at him and his eyes full of guilt. He advanced a step again but before he can close the gaps between us, I teleported to the farthest part of the woods. Away from Neji. Away from the man I truly love. To the man I only love.
The tears won't stop falling. My knees were weakened by the teleportation, the numbing cease and my head started to ache so much. Not to mention the constant clenching of my bleeding heart. I started to cry out loud in that deep woods and I don't know what to do to myself anymore.
"Neji..." I said as the tears flow endlessly to my swollen eyes. "Neji! Neji! Neji!" I just wanted to scream. Yes! I need to scream! "AHHHHNN! NEJI! FUCK! I LOVE YOU NEJI!" and the silent night filled with my sobs, and gasps, and screams. I love him so so much. I just want to die. I just wanted to die. God. I love him. I took out a kunai and put it near my throat. But then my hands shook with great ferocity. I also can't kill my damn self so I just faced the nearest tree and started piercing it with hundreds of kunai and raining all my weapons. But then I stopped. I was out of chakra and so I just went back to my cryin' and just howl and sob until I was content and weak enough to keep quiet. Whispering to the solitary trees how much I love Neji and also, to my madness, I've also started feeling that the moon, the crescent, bright moon, was looking at me with that sad, sad, very sad and lonely expression.
