Her heart beat erratically in her chest, skin clammy and cold, eyes wide and empty.
No.
Not Neji. No.
He couldn't die- he couldn't be dead. Because he was Neji. And Neji couldn't die.
Just like Lee.
During the Chuunin exams she had told herself, "Lee can't die. It's Lee, he can't die, Lee wouldn't die and he just couldn't die." And then Lee had woken up, and he had recovered and he truly had become a fabulous ninja.
Therefor Neji couldn't die. Because if Lee couldn't (Her teammate, her friend, her brother) then there was no way Neji could (Her teammate, her friend, her /love/).
Tenten knew her logic was skewed, that it didn't make sense, that SHE didn't make sense, but that was okay.
Because Neji couldn't die, so he didn't.
Just a little Tenten denial thing. I'd like to make it a bit longer and post it as it's own story, but I'm not sure what else to write...
