Hey yea so…high school ya cool…yea….lolz :p anyway here's chapter 6! Ive been thinking a lot about this lately and I think its time for a change in POV again! :3

Chapter 6

Neji POV

I got out of my meeting late. I should have stayed home, or at least came earlier. It's so fucking irritating to find Tenten fucking swapping spit with that fucking duck-butt, heartless, emo-ass, mother fucking piece of shit, who can burn in fucking hell, Uchia! But as much as I wanted to rip him from her and make sure he would never have the organs to reproduce, let alone have a proper orgasm…

I know I like Tenten. A lot. But being stuck in the hallway like that. It's just torture seeing her with him. I…just can't believe it. Especially if Uchia told Tenten, I liked her…Tsk. There's no point now. She's gone. At least from my conscious, but my heart still hurts. I'll never know now if she ever liked me now…

"N-Neji!" a faint voice called after him.

I don't want to talk to anyone. So I kept walking. I want to just go home and crawl under a rock.

"Neji! W-wait!"

Dammit Hinata! I stop walking. It's just one of those things where you don't want to listen, but you're going to hear it one way or another.

"What do you want, Hinata?"

I hear her faint panting. I don't want to look at her. So I keep my back to her.

"N-Neji, what happen?" she asked.

I 'Hn'ed. She knows fully well what's going on, there is no need for me to explain anything to her. I hear another pair of feet running down the hall.

"Hinata! Have you seen-"

It's Ino. What could she possible want?

"Neji…Did you see-"

"Yes. And you knew as well didn't you, Ino? This whole time you kept your big mouth shut, and for what? You knew how I felt and you couldn't even tell me about this?" I yelled.

She didn't say a word. That's what I hate. They get all guilty and expect for you to except an apology. Well, that's bullshit. I grunted and kept walking.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

I turned around. Tenten panted as she stood next to Ino tears in her eyes. Uchia wrapped an arm around her waist. He sighed and shook his head.

"Tenten, you know how independent he is,"

I popped a vein.

"Exactly what are you saying Uchia?" I walked up to him.

Uchia smirked. He released Tenten's waist and looked me in the eye.

"Listen, you and I both know you don't have the balls to even say to yourself that you like her! You were too late, and lost your chance. So now she's mi-"

My fist met his mouth. That fucking bastard! He knew all along too, and he stole her from me! That bastard stole Tenten from me!

"Neji!" Tenten held onto my arm before I could punch him again.

I struggled to get out of her grip. I don't care about anyone else at the moment. That ass-crack of an Uchia is going to die!

"Neji! Stop!"

Tenten continued to hold on to me. I struggled out of her grip successfully. Ino grabbed her and held her back from interfering. My fist met Uchia's stomach. He coughed but was able to kick me in the shin. I grunted at his powerful kick. I heard a whale from Tenten as she sobbed next to Ino and Hinata. Next thing I know, both of us are on the ground with a foot on our chests.

"Ugh…what the-?"

Uchia's older brother and Anko looked down on us, anger in their eyes. I coughed. Yuzuki had Tenten in her arms, stroking her hair as she sniffed and whimpered.

"How not-surprising…" Anko hissed at us.

Uchia and I glanced at each other. I should've known that Anko would've shown up…

"Foolish little brother, I would have never guessed this would have happen." Itachi grumbled.

"…Says the one who normally can predict out comes, Aniki." Uchia smirked.

I grunted. That damn bastard… I glared at Anko. The jonin was looking at Tenten. I try again to sit up, but this woman's heel is like a needle. My chest is in pain now.

"Yuzuki-sama, take her to the bathroom-"

"No…I'm fine…really…" I hear Tenten sniff.

Anko takes her heel off my now impaled chest. I sit up slowly, the pain still stinging. Itachi grabs his brother by the collar and grunts. Uchia still has that damn smirk on his face as he looks at me. Anko sighed.

"Alright, now, I know-actually-we all know you two are men, so, let's be big boys and tell me who started it?"

Me and Uchia looked at each other. Uchia grunted and looked away. Anko has very low tolerance for the majority of us…a vein pops every time she interrogates someone. You'd think it was pretty funny, her low tolerance, but trust me, she will throw you out the nearest window and dangle you by your big toes until she gets what she wants to hear. How do I know? It's happened many times to…Naruto. No surprise, right?

"Well? Who did it?" she hissed.

"Hn."

I glanced at Uchia, who glanced at me. So that's the game. The plan to help us not get our asses thrown out the window…

"You got something to say, Uchia? That smirk on your face is annoying." Anko said glaring at him.

"Hn."

I chuckled. Itachi smirked at his game, knowing fully well his intention to annoy the jonin further. Anko turned to me, daggers were shooting into my eyes as she got closer.

"What's so funny, Hyuga?"

I glanced at Uchia. He nodded at me and pointed his chin at Tenten. I glanced over Anko's shoulder. She wasn't crying anymore, but she had a small smile on her face. I'm guessing because Sasuke was toying with her watch-wow…wait did I just go by a first name bases for that bastard? Putting that aside…I might as well play along. Maybe we can get out of this and outwit her.

"Well, Hyuga? What's so funny?"

I looked Anko straight in the eye and….

"HN!"

I staggered back as Anko reached for my collar, the fire burning in her eyes-the screech of annoyance coming from her. You can hear all the birds fly away, like in those cartoons. Sasuke managed to get away from his brother and walked towards Tenten. My amusement slowly faded as I see him kiss her cheek and rap his arms around her. I looked away. The pain in my chest got worse at this sight. Tenten was happy with him. He can make her smile and laugh with a simple sentence. While I just stand in the background, not using my head and telling her how I feel about her. But that doesn't matter now…

"Anko, no use crying over spilled milk," Yuzuki said.

Itachi nodded in agreement. He glanced at me. I don't know what it was…but something flashed in his eyes. I think I should follow him later.

That you should, Hyuga

Ugh! I put a hand to my head as his voice boomed through my mind. This communication technique is really annoying…

"Neji-nii…?"

I looked up and blinked. Hinata rushed to my side.

"I-I'm fine…" I whispered.

I glanced at Itachi. He nodded to practically nobody and turned his back to me. Anko sighed and followed everyone back to the grand hall. Uchia paused and told Tenten to walk ahead. He looked back at me.

"Checkmate, Hyuga. I win." He said.

I watched him walk away with a smirk on his face, leaving me alone. Checkmate? I hate to admit it….I really, REALLY, REALLY. REALLY, hate to admit it…but...he's right.

I actually lost to that idiot…I lost Tenten…and my pride…

I failed.

Tenten

I follow everyone back to the hall. I still can't believe what happen back there. Neji and Sasuke…fighting over…me? No, that can't be it…Neji's not that jealous…he isn't even the jealous type!

"I'm sorry about that, Tenten," Sasuke whispered.

I only nod. We were going to talk about this later anyway. Just right now, I need to focus on getting through the night, and the training session tomorrow morning.

-((()))))

After a lot of people left, Ranmaru, Naruto, Sasuke, Ino, Hinata and I, head to my room. And just like I promised, I opened Ranmaru's gift first.

"I hope you like it, Miss Tenten!" he smiled.

I unwrapped a beautiful silver hair pin with a decorated gold sparkles. I smiled at Ranmaru.

"It's wonderful, Ranmaru!"

The boy beamed. Sasuke handed me his gift. A small box rapped in blue paper and a silver bow on top. I ripped off the paper and looked at the black box. I looked at him in question.

"What is it? Not a ring I hope…"

Sasuke chuckled.

"No, no. Nothing like that…yet anyway. Just open it."

I shrug and open the box. A sapphire kunai shined before my eyes. I took it out and looked at it. Sasuke smiled, seeing the look on my face.

"You're welcome," he said.

He kissed my cheek and hugged me. Ino made an 'Aww' while Hinata coughed. She handed me her gift. A silver necklace with a green pendent. I thanked her. But when I looked at the card…it wasn't her handwriting…

"Open mine, nii-chan!" Naruto shoved his gift in my face.

I took it and unwrapped a picture. It was of him, Sasuke, Itachi and I back when we were little. Naruto's goofy grin and holding on to Sasuke's shoulder as the young Uchia smirked at the camera; Itachi smiling in the background, his hand on my head. We were all great friends back then. And we are now, but I've grown closer to Sasuke. I'm happy I did. Then…there's Neji…the one who was always there for me ever since we met. I only have three pictures with him, our first team picture back as gennin, our second team picture as chunnin, and now our third team picture as ANBU Black Ops. That's about it. I wish there was one that wasn't so professional looking.

"Okay, and this one's from…Lee," Ino threw a green wrapped box.

I snapped out of thought and caught it. Alas another picture. But it was on its back when I opened it. It read in Gai's handwriting;

Happy Birthday Tenten! May all your dreams come true!

Love, Rock Lee and Gai-sensei

I smiled. I turned over the picture. Wow, talk about coincidence! It was of picture of Lee, Neji and I at the lake, sitting down laughing after our sparring. We looked so worn out and dirty, but we smiled either way. I remember those days. They were great even if it meant getting up early, dealing with moody people and stuff, but it was worth it.

"Let me see, Tenten."

I handed it to Sasuke. He smirked at the picture. He showed me his team picture a long time ago. It was pretty funny because him and Naruto were rivals. Then Naruto showed me their new team picture. The one with that new kid, Sai. He kinda looks like Sasuke, but he seemed out of place in that picture. Sasuke handed it back to me and sighed. He leaned his head against my shoulder.

"Damn, Hyuga can punch…" he grunts.

Ino glared at him.

"Well you egged him on! No wonder Neji has low tolerance for people!" she said.

Naruto and Hinata nodded in agreement. They glance at each other with worried looks. This happens a lot between those two. They have similar thoughts, but they can't bring them to words, so they look at each other, figuring someone was going to say something.

"Uhm…Tenten…" Hinata whispered.

I nodded at her.

"About, Neji-nii…"

I shook my head. I already know. But I guess he was too late. I still like him, but right now I'm with Sasuke. And I have more things to worry about then romance, even if I'm in a relationship. Naruto looked at Sasuke, his face becoming sad.

"Teme…why did you announce that he liked Nii-chan like that? You really hurt him."

Sasuke shrugged. I see him side glance to Ino, who frowns.

"He lost his chance. Tenten, he's liked you for years, and said nothing. All those years, don't you think he could have grown a pair and finally asked you out?" he says.

I…have no idea. How was I suppose to know he liked me for so long? All we did was train and hang out. Besides, I was too busy on my training then looking for signs that he actually care. It's not like Neji to speak his mind anyway. He was only nice to me, no one else. I thought it was only because I never bothered him as much, was never a fan girl. I thought I was someone he can talk to without actually talking. But I guess I was too distracted to realize what was really going on.

Neji likes me, and there's nothing I can do about it now.

OOoooooooo Neji is depressed….and Tenten is confuzzed….Damn Sasuke u iz evil! Orochimaru rubbed off on u big time!

Hope you lik even tho it was a lil short! Review plz!
