How Quickly Life Can Change!!Chapter Five
"He said what?" Sakura asked. The girls were sitting in the hall eating lunch, when Tenten had told them about Sai and his friends. She'd also been telling them about Neji and his pervy comments.
"I know," Tenten exclaimed. "He said my legs looked good in the skirt. Now I think he was flirting with me but I'm not too sure."
"Well durr," Ino said. "He was obviously checking you out. Maybe he has a crush on you. Oh Tenten you could get your first boyfriend."
"Oh shut it Ino," Tenten muttered blushing. "I hardly know the guys. I don't plan on dating him."
"I think that's a good thing." Hinata muttered. "From what I know Neji gets around with a lot of girls, so I'd be careful Tenten."
Tenten smiled at her friend. "Don't worry Hinata, I'll watch by back."
"Anyway I still can't believe you go to meet the Uchiha brothers." Ino moaned.
"And the day we were looking at pictures of Itachi-san." Sakura added. "Life's not fair, why can't we meet them."
Tenten frowned at her friends. "How about I make you a deal." They both looked at her questionable. " If you help me find 10 or more people willing to join a sport team and help me organize it then you can come over one day when they're over."
Both Ino and Sakura's faces lit up. "Deal," they agreed in unison.
Tenten leaned back in her chair, smiling at Hinata. "That just saved me a job." She whispered. Hinata smirked.

"Hinata what have you got next?" Tenten asked. They'd finished lunch and were now heading to their final lesson of the day. Ino and Sakura had ran off somewhere at the end of lunch, so it was only Hinata and Tenten.
"I've math, what about you Tenten?" Hinata replied in her forever quiet voice.
"English," Tenten answered. Normally Tenten would hate English, but she was excited about giving in her essay.
"I guess I'll see you later then," Hinata said making a turn, heading for the math department.
"Bye Hina-Chan," Tenten called after her as she walked the opposite way, towards the English department. When Tenten approached her classroom she saw a line outside waiting for their teacher to arrive. Tenten joined the back of the queue and waited patiently. When Shizune-sensei arrived, she ushered the class in. Tenten sat in a seat at the back, where Ino joined her.
"Where'd you run off to?" Tenten asked, as Ino sat down.
"Me and Sakura had some business to attend to." Ino replied smirking. Tenten raised her eyebrow, but didn't question her friend any further.
The lesson proceeded as normal. Shizune-sensei said they would all have to work hard for the next few months, because it would be their last chance. They'd all have to make sure their coursework was up to date and the best they could possible make it. The usual stuff really.
Nothing really got interesting until near the end of the lesson, when somebody's phone went off. You see, you weren't allowed to have your phone on in class; it had to be turned off in your bag. The teachers hated being interrupted by people's phone.
Everyone was laughing, so Tenten decided to join in to. Until she realised everyone was laughing at her. That's when she realised what song the ringtone was. Bleed it out by Linkin Park. The lyrics rang out throughout the whole classroom.
"Yeah here we go for the hundredth timeHand grenade pins in every lineThrow 'em up and let something shineGoing out of my fucking mind"
At the last few words, Tenten's stomach sunk. She grabbed her bag, searching for her phone. When she grabbed it Sai's name appeared on her phone. Why would he be ringing her now, he knew she was in class. Unless it was an emergency, like last time. The last time Sai had rung Tenten in class was to tell her their dad had been rushed into hospital. What had happened now?
Without thinking Tenten pressed the green button and held the phone to her ear.
"Hello," She said hurriedly. "Sai, are you ok?"
There was a purse, and then Sai's calm voice replied. "Hey Ten, yeah I'm fine. What's up with you? You seem to be panicking."
"Panicking? Of course I am. Last time you called during class it was for an emergence. So what's happened?"
Sai laughed. "Clam down Ten, nothing's wrong. I was just calling to say Neji said he teach you, so go to his after school. He lives with Hinata, if you didn't know."
Tenten's mouth dropped. She looked up and realised Shizune-Sensei was standing in front of her desk. "You idiot," she muttered into her phone before quickly switching it off.
"I hope I'm not disturbing anything, Tenten." Shizune said, eyeing Tenten.
Gulping, Tenten replied, "No Sensei, I was just finished." Not the right answer.
"Tenten, you do not answer your phone in class. If it may be an emergence you ask to be excused. Do you understand?"
"I understand," Tenten muttered looking down at her hands.
"Also," Shizune continued, "Do you have your Romeo and Juliet essay?
Tenten's face lit up. "I do." She opened her bag and looked round for her essay. Where was it? It had to be in here somewhere. When Tenten couldn't find it she stared to panic. Where is it?
"So," Shizune said. "Where is it?"
"I did do it," Tenten said. "I had it on my desk this morning, ready to be packed. I don't understand how I could have forgotten it..." she trailed off into silence. How could she have forgotten it, after all her hard work.
"Tenten I'd like to see you after class." Shizune-sensei said, going back to the front. She looked disappointed. Tenten hated teachers being disappointed in her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When the bell rang, Tenten made her way to the front of the class, whilst all the other girls left.
"I'm sorry sensei," she said the moment the class was empty. "I did do my essay, but I was in a rush this morning and I must have left it on the desk. Please Sensei can I bring it into you tomorrow."
Shizune raised a hand to silence Tenten. "I understand that you may have forgotten it and I do believe you did it but you're falling behind. I've heard about the sport team you want to put together and I do think it would be a good idea. However I don't feel you should be involved in it if you don't concentrate on you studies. We had a meeting about it and Tsunade said that whoever does join has to be getting good grades, of that person shouldn't be in the team. Now Tenten I would hate to report that you're falling behind because it was your idea, but I will if I have to."
"I understand sensei, but I promise I'll work harder." Tenten said hurriedly. She couldn't not be in the team she put together.
"I'm sure you will, but I still feel I should punish you. Especially for using your phone in class."
"Ok sensei, you can punish me but please don't get me off the team." Tenten pleaded.
Shizune laughed. "Clam down Tenten, I won't get you off the team. Tomorrow you can stay behind school for an hour and work on all you essay's to improve them. How's that sound?"
Tenten sighed with relief. "Thanks sensei, you rock."
Shizune smirked. "Thanks Tenten, now I think you should head home."
"Ok, see you tomorrow." Tenten called as she left the classroom.
"Bye Tenten and remember your essay."
"Will do"
Tenten felt sort of relived. Shizune-sensei was a really nice teacher. Any other teacher would have made her give up the team, but with Shizune you always got one more chance.
When Tenten walked out of the school and into the parking lot, she was surprised to see Hinata still there. Waiting for her. "Hinata!" Tenten called, running over to her. "Are you waiting for me?"
Hinata smiled seeing her friend coming over. "Hi Tenten, yeah I'm waiting for you. I thought we could walk together."
Tenten smiled. "That's great, because I need to go to yours. Neji said she teach me material arts, so he wants me to go over."
"Oh," Hinata said, surprised. "Is that why Sai called you in class." Tenten started at her friend, curious to how her friend knew that, but then she answered her unasked question. "Ino told me."
Big mouth, Tenten thought, before replying. "Yeah, that is why he rang me. Thankfully Shizune-sensei only gave me one hour of detention tomorrow after school."
"That great" Hinata said, smiling.
They walked the rest of the way in silence, but not an awkward silence. Things were never awkward between Tenten and Hinata, because they were so close that they could just be in silence. It was definitely true friendship.
Once they arrived at the Hyuga manor, Hinata lead Tenten to Neji's room. "When you done you can come and visit me ok?" she said, standing outside the door.
"Sure thing Hina-Chan." Tenten replied. Hinata smiled and started to walk off to her own room when Tenten called out to her. "Hina, you don't mind me learning Martial Arts from Neji do you?"
Hinata frowned. "No, why would I?" she asked.
"No reason." Tenten muttered. She knew Hinata had never been close to Neji and didn't want to upset her.
"Tenten I know you really want to know Material Arts. Neji's really good at them so I'm sure he'll be a great teacher." Hinata replied, smiling.
"Thanks Hinata!" Tenten called as her friend processed to her bedroom. Tenten then turned to the matter at hand. Neji. She turned back to the door and knocked three times.
"Come in," a deep voice said on the other side. Taking a deep breath, Tenten entered.
Neji's room was, well, odd. Tenten had expected to see posters of girl topless on the wall, like Sai's room, but he didn't. He had no posters. Just plan white walls. It was... dull. There was a bed in one corner, which Neji was lying on. The sheets where a cream colour with no patterns on it. A desk in another corner. Neat and tidy. A wardroom in another corner and a bookshelf in another. This didn't look like a teenage boy's room, or any person Tenten had come across in her life. He looked like a spare bedroom.
Neji looked up from a book he'd been reading when Tenten had entered. "Oh, it's you." He muttered getting up into a sitting position.
Tenten raised her eyebrow. "Why where you expecting someone else?" she asked.
Neji shook his head. "I wasn't expecting anyone. Anyway let's move on quickly. Sai told me you want to learn Material arts. Why?"
"Don't know," Tenten shrugged. "I'd like to know how to protect myself. You know if I got attacked. And my dad always wanted me to learn, but never could pay-, I mean never got around to booking me lessons."
"Good reasons." Neji replied. "If you'd have said 'for fun' I might not have taught you. I only want to teach you if you're going to work hard. I don't want you slacking off." Tenten nodded. She realised how different Neji sound when he was talking about fighting. He seemed more determined. "Right well today I though we could figure out what sort of fighting would be best for you. Any idea?"
"Not really," Tenten said honestly. She serious had no idea what style would suit her best.
"This is going to longer then I expected." Neji sighed. "You might as well make you self comfortable" he gestured for her to sit down at his desk chair. She sat and they started disusing techniques.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the end, they decide on Karate. It could defend Tenten and able her to attack. It was a good choose.
For some reason, Tenten felt totally comfortable. Neji wasn't really out spoken and did say as little words as possible, but he was ok. He wasn't checking Tenten out, even though she was wearing her skirt. It was nice, like they were sort of friends.
"Right," Neji said "so although I don't think we should start practicing today, I think we should just do something. You know, so we can see where about you are."
"Ok," Tenten agreed standing form her chair. She wasn't really sure where about she was. She was strong, well she thought she was.
Neji stood from his bed across the room from Tenten. "Ok," he said. "I'm going to pretend to be an attacker. I'll run at you like I want to attack you. You try to hold me off." Tenten nodded gulping.
Before she could even blink, Neji was in front of her eyes. He slammed her against the door, NOT gently, grabbing her arms and holding them above her head. He smirked. "That was too easy." He muttered. Their bodies were pressed against each other tight and Tenten could barely move. She could fell Neji's breath on her neck. It was very warm. "Tenten" he muttered deeply and in what Tenten considered a sexy tone. "If I were going to rape you right now, it would be way too easy." He grabbed both of her hands in one of his, holding them tightly. He moved his other hand so it was resting on Tenten's bare thigh.
Blushing Tenten said, "This isn't funny Neji, get off me." Neji moved is face so it was in front of hers. There nose's rubbing together.
"Tenten, I'm not trying to be funny. I'm trying to show you what will happen if you don't work hard. There are people out there that will hurt you; I'm not one of them. Trust me." Tenten felt his breath on her face as his spook. She started into his crystal eyes. They were truly beautiful. Tenten felt that what he was saying was true, that she could trust him. Just like Hinata's eye's, they seemed true full.
There was a knock at the door behind Tenten, which made both Neji and Tenten jump. Neji let go of Tenten and blushed? Tenten straighten her uniform out. "Come in" Neji muttered, moving away from the door. Tenten quickly followed him, so she wasn't hit by the person entering.
The door opened and Hanabi entered. "Neji-nii-san, dad say's your friend has to leave because dinner's going to be ready soon granddad and grandma are coming over." She looked up and realised who it was. "Tenten? Why are you in Neji-nii-san's room? Aren't you Hinata-nee-san's friend?"
"Yeah I am," Tenten said. "Neji's just teaching my Karate, but it is getting late so I should properly go."
"I'll drive you," Neji said picking up his jacket.
"You don't have to," Tenten replied. "I can walk."
Neji shoot Tenten a glare. "Remember what I said." He muttered. "It's dangerous, until you know how to defend yourself."
Hanabi smirked. "Yeah Tenten-san. Neji-nii-san doesn't want his girlfriend getting hurt." Tenten and Neji both blushed.
"He's not my boyfriend Hanabi-Chan," Tenten stammered nervously.
Hanabi just laughed, skipping down the hall way. "Whatever."
They both stayed quiet for a moment, embarrassed by Hanabi's words, until Neji broke the silence. "Let's go," he muttered walking out the door.
"Is it ok if I go say bye to Hinata?" Tenten asked, following him.
"Sure, just hurry. I'll wait outside."
They both walked in different directions. Neji to the stairs, Tenten to Hinata's room. She ran most of the way there. Neji had been so close to her, it was so embarrassing. She didn't know if she still though he was a pervert, or someone who was protecting her against them.
Once at Hinata's door, she knocked. "Come in," Hinata's sweet voice replied. Tenten swung the door opened, walking in as calmly as she could manage.
"I just came to say goodbye Hinata-Chan." Tenten said walking over to hug her friend.
"See you later Tenten-Chan," Hinata replied, hugging Tenten back."Call me when you get home, to tell me how it went, ok?"
"I will," Tenten said, giving her friend a quick squeeze before walking to the door.
"How are you getting home?" Hinata asked. "Do you want me to walk with you?"
Tenten smiled at her. "Don't worry Hinata; Neji said he'd take me."
"Good, I don't want walking home on your own."
"Thanks Hinata your such a good friend." Tenten smiled. Hinata retuned her smile and waved goodbye as Tenten closed the door. She walked down the hall, towards the staircase. Even Hinata didn't want Tenten walking around on her own. Everyone was worried. Tenten had to make sure she could look after herself; she'll have to work hard.
When Tenten walked out the front door, she saw Neji waiting for her in his car. It was silver mini copper and really cute. Again something she didn't expected Neji would have. Anyway, she jumped in the passenger side. It was nice comfy car.
"Nice car," Tenten commented as Neji pulled out of the drive way.
"Thanks," Neji muttered, concentrating on his driving.
"Where'd you get it?" Tenten asked.
"My parents got it for me for my 16 birthday." Neji replied.
"Cool," Tenten said. She was trying to think of something to say. She hated awkward car drives. "So, do your parents live with you at Hinata's house?" she asked.
"No, there dead." Neji replied bluntly.
"Oh," Tenten said. Way to make it awkward. The sat in silence. Awkward silence. Tenten wanted to say something to break the ice. Think! She told herself. There must be something you can talk about. Oh I know sports. "So Neji..." Tenten begun but Neji cut her off.
"Here you are," he said coming to a stop outside her house. "Come by tomorrow after school. We'll start practicing."
"Oh I can't. Sorry, but I've got a detention to go to." Tenten replied, feeling guilty, although she didn't know why.
"Fine Thursday?" Neji asked.
Tenten nodded, "Sure, Thursday sounds great." She opened the car door. "Thanks for helping me Neji, see you on Thursday."
"See ya," Neji replied. Tenten walked to her front door and pulled out her keys. Neji didn't leave until she was in her house.
"Hey!" Sai said as she entered the living room. He was watching the football match. "Have a good time?"
"Yeah," Tenten replied, walking over to the stairs. "It was interesting." And with that she made her way up to her room to ring Hinata and to inform her about what happened during her time with Neji.
