"Neji Hyuga. What are you doing on school property? Weren't you-" Tsunade was interrupted.
"I got Tenten into this." Neji muttered.
"What?" Tsunade stared at him.
"I…. asked her out." Neji mumbled. "I was the one who… fell in love with the teacher. It's not the other way around."
"Neji. You're not even suppose to be here. One because you were- Look at yourself. What have you gotten yourself into this time?" Tsunade asked angrily.
"Nothing." Neji muttered angrily.
"Tenten Shiho… this is the second time… that you've been found and caught having to do with students. Teacher and students can not be. They can not be. I was sure you understood it. I told you that I would-"
"I know. I know." I gripped my pants and fisted Shikamaru's jacket tightly.
"Remember what I said… when it was Sasuke?" Tsunade looked at me as I nodded.
"Y-Yes." I stuttered out.
"Leave Konoha." Tsunade whispered. "I know it's a tough punishment… but we can not have student and teacher relationships in this school. I apologize, Ms. Shiho, but-" Neji slammed the wall behind his chair.
"It's stupid. It's all so stupid."
"Neji. Don't make me suspend you more…" Tsunade glared at him.
"It's… STUPID." Neji growled and shouted. "She's a student too! Tenten's a student just like me, just like everyone else!" Neji shouted loudly. He clenched his fists. "It's not fair!"
"Neji. You are not one to talk." Tsunade looked at him seriously. "How dare you talk back to your principal." Neji slammed the desk hard as he stood.
"You can't make her leave!" Neji shouted. I looked down and then stood.
"It's okay." I whispered. "Thanks, Ms. Tsunade… for.. Letting me teach and allowing me to be a student."
"A student. She's a student!!" Neji shouted again.
"Neji. That's enough from you." Tsunade rested her head on her hands. "That's it. It's done. I will not change my decision. I'm sorry, Tenten." I looked down and sighed.
-No POV-
"It's okay…" Tenten whispered and slipped the jacket off and walked out of the classroom. Neji clenched his fists.
"You can get rid of her.. You can get her out of this school. But… you will never get her to leave Konoha." Neji growled angrily. Tsunade shook her head.
"There's no other school here for her to attend. She will have to go back to the sand village." Neji shook his head.
"I won't allow it."
"Don't get so attached to her, Neji. She's Kari's twin. They have similar traits because of that." Tsunade whispered. Neji gripped the door tightly.
"You're wrong. Tenten.. She's not like Kari at all. Sh-She's different… And besides.. Kari's dead." Neji whispered. "Tenten is all that matters to me right now." Neji mumbled and walked out.
"They're the same, Neji. No matter what… Tenten will never replace Kari." Neji growled.
"I never said she would. And I don't need anyone to replace Kari. But, no one can replace Tenten, because she's irreplaceable." Neji muttered and slammed the door. Tsunade sighed. "Tenten?" He walked out without his shirt, still having bandages when he saw Tenten run into his chest. He let out a groan as she banged into his ribs.
"N-Neji!" She shrieked. "Move!" She cried. He saw the backpack in her hands.
"No." He mumbled as he held her close. She pushed him gently.
"Please." She froze.
"There she is."
"Oh my god. Look at her cling onto Neji like that. That bitch."
-The speakers went on-
"Because Tenten Shiho is now leaving the school, Sakura Haruno is now the cheerleading captain!"
Everyone cheered. The hall went wild as Tenten bit her lip. Sakura and Ino emerged from the crowd. Neji glared hard at them as he clenched Tenten's arm tightly.
"N-Nej-"
"Ino. Sakura. Did you… do this?" Neji asked. "Answer me." They were silent. "YOU TWO FUC-"
"Neji stop." Tenten whispered. "It's fine… So please… just let go of me. You were able to… let go of Kari-chan… weren't you? She died. So please. I know that.. I'm just replacing her.." Tenten's lip quivered. "I know, I'm just her replacement… I'm just like her in many ways."
Sh-She heard Tsunade… Neji shook his head. "You're nothing like her." Tenten shook her head.
"Please…. Just let me leave.." Tenten cried in his chest. Neji tightened his grip around her.
"No please. Don't."
"GET HER!" Ino shouted as all the girls ran in jealousy at Tenten. She screamed in Neji's arms and pushed him away. She ran out the school door as the girls all cheered. Neji clenched his fists and pushed everyone away. He ran after her. Tenten continued to run.
K-Kari-chan. Please. Where are you? Tenten cried. I'm a foolish person. Everyone hates me for dating Neji. Yes. I dated your ex-boyfriend. Forgive me for what I've done. I wanted to go to school here… I wanted to go to the same school you went to. But I have to leave now. I'm being chased out by… the girls that were once your friends. Neji finally caught up to Tenten and knocked her into the lake.
"Tenten!" Neji shouted as he grabbed her arms. Her bag laid on the rocks as she was soaked in water.
"Why are you doing this?" Tenten whispered. "I'm just… a girl. A normal girl. Why are you doing this?"
"Shh.. No one's going to hurt you. No one's going to hurt you. Not while I'm around you…" Neji whispered to her as he held her close to his chest. The water glistened as they embraced. Tenten shook her head.
"They were Kari's friend. They're only doing… what a good friend does."
"What?" Neji stared at her.
"You're Kari-chan's ex-boyfriend… sisters don't date their other sister's ex-boyfriend. I'm… I can't date you. Sakura and Ino. The rest of the girls were all Kari's friends. They say no to me dating you.. Because they're good friends." Tenten looked at him. "Do you understand?" Neji shook his head. "Why…"
"Just shut up and listen to me." Neji mumbled. "I don't care if you're hated. Cause I don't hate you." Neji whispered and kissed her gently. Tenten shook as the water around them caressed her body. The water flowed silently as the sun lit the whole lake. "Tenten…" She looked up at him.
"Yes?" She asked. He smirked.
"What if… I showed you how much I loved you?" Tenten kissed him.
"That's how much I love you." She whispered.
"That's it?" Neji asked. "I thought you'd… show me more." He smirked as he playfully ran his fingers through her hair. Tenten raised her eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I dunno. A little bit of this, a little bit of that…" He grinned as he blew air into her ear gently. She shook and let out a small squeal. She shook her head.
"I… I really do love you." Neji smirked and nodded.
"Alright." He mumbled.
"… someday. Someday, Neji." She smiled up at him.
"Now. Let's do something about those wet clothes."
-Neji's Apartment-
"Neji?" Tenten called to him. Neji took off his wet shirt and threw on a pair of grey baggy sweatpants.
"Yeah?" He called as he threw a towel around his neck. (Shmexxyyy xD)
"Um. Your shirt…" She mumbled from outside. Neji walked to the door and opened it.
"What's…" He stared at her. Her hair was down and wet. The shirt Neji gave her went down to her mid-thighs, as his shorts looked like Capri's on her. She touched her shirt gently and pulled on it.
"It's… kinda big…" She mumbled again as she looked at Neji. "N-Neji?"
She… She's so…. Sexy. Especially in my shirt and all. Oh god. I feel like I'm going to explode.
"Neji?" Tenten tilted her head. "Are you alright?" He was crimson red. How could she ask if he was alright? "… Neji? Oh my gosh. Your face is burning!" Tenten exclaimed as she placed her hand on his forehead.
"Sh-Shit." Neji cursed as he quickly covered his nose. Tenten grabbed his arm.
"Ah. A bloody nose." She smiled. "Let me clean that up for you…" She took the towel around his neck and dabbed at his nose. "That's weird. It stopped already…" She blinked and then smiled at him. "That's good, right?" Neji nodded quickly.
"O-O-Okay." Neji stuttered. Dammit. Neji laid down on the bed as Tenten stared at him.
"Neji?" She stared at him as his shirt on her slid off her shoulder slightly.
"F-F-" Neji stuttered again as he ran to his drawers.
"What's wrong?" She asked as she touched his shoulder.
"Shirt. Your shirt." He mumbled quietly as he rummaged through his drawer.
"Oh. Sorry…" She slowly fixed it and walked to his desk. It's so neat. I figured that he wasn't the guy to keep his things neat. Tenten laughed quietly. She looked at his desk and there were some papers in his drawer. She pulled it open and looked at the papers. "What?" She blushed brightly. S-Stories? Why's my name in- Neji ran over and grabbed it.
"DON'T LOOK!" Neji shouted flustered and shoved them under his bed.
"Don't worry." Tenten responded. "Your English isn't that great either, Neji…" Tenten waved him. "Me and my friend.. It's suppose to be my friend and I. Guess you need more work on your English." Tenten giggled. Neji rolled his eyes.
"That's why I'm not a teacher like you… perfectionist." Neji spat. Tenten laughed again as Neji continued to look for smaller clothing for her to wear. Tenten smiled. Tenten kept the drawer open and found a little box. She blinked a couple times and reached for it when Neji's voice awoken her. "I'm gonna go see if I can find a smaller shirt. Stay here and don't touch anything." He mumbled and walked out. Tenten nodded.
"…" But, she went ahead and touched the box. She slowly opened it and in there… was her? No. Kari. It was Kari… Tenten blinked and behind the picture, had the words, I loved you. Why'd you tear my heart like that? Why'd you rip it up like it was nothing? Tenten clutched the picture in her hands. Neji.. Tenten thought. Do you… still- Are you still in love with Kari-chan? Tenten thought. Even after you found out that she was cheating on you with her ex boyfriend… you still… love her? Why… Neji walked in as Tenten shoved the picture into the box and put it back in the drawers.
"Here." He responded and threw her a blue t-shirt. "It's… my cousin's." Tenten nodded.
"Thank you." She took it from him gently and walked past him and into the bathroom. He still loves Kari-chan I bet. Why does this hurt so much? Tenten thought.
Does anyone truly understand what real love is about?
Neji turned sharply to hear Tenten's cell phone ringing. He opened it and saw a text message. Not that he was curious our anything, but he had the right to look at his girlfriend's text message right? But, he wished that he didn't in the end…
From: Sasuke Uchiha
To: Tenten Shiho
Hey babyy gurll,
When can we get together again? It seems just like yesterday that I saw you, babe. Oh wait, it was yesterday.. or, shall i say, last night? We should do "it" again when you're free. But, i call being on top this time... Reminder: Babyy, you're so hott and sexayy. Call me back. We'll make plans for tonight, my lovee. K, hun?
Love, your Sasuke-kun.
What the hell.. is this? Neji thought as his heart was slowly beginning to break apart...
--------
Neji-kun.. Tenten thought while she pulled the shirt over her head. He's... still in love with Kari isn't he? That's why he has that picture.. right? So maybe he loves me because i resemble Kari?
--------
"Wh-What the hell is this?" Neji felt his heart shatter. felt his heart shatter? Wait. It already was shattered. Was… Tenten cheating on him? His heart started beating in his chest again. It coming back to life? No, just giving him some last minutes of pain before she came out of the bathroom. Coming out of the bathroom, she'd have a knife in hand. She might as well carve out his heart. It's not like anything is left in there... left in there anymore, that is...
Every pound of pain sent vibrating threats to his head. Just like Kari? Tenten.... just like her twin? Cheating on him? Was he going through this again...?
"Don't get so attached to her, Neji. She's Kari's twin. They have similar traits because of that." Tsunade whispered to him. Neji gripped the door tightly.
"You're wrong. Tenten.. She's not like Kari at all. Sh-She's different… And besides.. Kari's dead." Neji whispered. "Tenten is lal that matters to me right now." Neji mumbled and walked out.
"They're the same, Neji. No matter what… Tenten will never replace Kari." Neji growled.
Was... i wrong? Neji thought as he dropped the phone onto the ground.
CLANK....
love; done for. heart; shattered. Trust; no. Never. Never... trust anyone again...
