TWO MONTHS AGO, NEJI LEE TENTEN, MISSION:
TENTEN POV
We were walking peaceful listening to the birds chirp, the sound of the breeze and Lee's happy toon that he whistled. Then Neji stopped, Lee stopped whistleing and the wind picked up. Lee walkd over to Neji he was about to ask him what was wrong but Neji took out a kunai and stabbed Lee's arm, "Lee! " I screamed then Neji walked over to me but on his way he transformed into a my brother. he had his shaggy black hair and blue eyes along with the same clothes, it's like her was there, only he had a desire to kill.
I started backing up, backing up into a tree. "Neji?" I asked as a tear rolled down my face. He just stabbed lee. Then i felt cool metal against my skin. Blood began to trickle down my torso as a line went over my heart, "Don't lie to me," he said and crossed the line making an X and said "Never keep secrets," and I realized he, Neji, or My brother. . . was digging his kunai deeper into the point at which the two lines intersected. Witha final forceful oush it went deep and I completely blacked out.
A week later I woke up in a hospital, Ino was at my side sound asleep, I smiled. I didn't remember a thing. I was released that day. I walked to the training area where I met with Lee and Neji, we still trained as a team. "Good morning Lee," I smiled and waved.
He ran over to me and hugged me as if he hadn't seen me in years.
"Lee, is something wrong? Your acting like I was about to die or something."
He was frowning at my statement," You don't remember?"
"Remember what?" I questioned.
"Lee, I think it's better we leave her not knowing.." Neji told him not looking at me.
"Yes, Neji, I think it would..." Lee trailed off.
Two weeks later, I was settled in the new house, sleeping on the top bunk of me and Ino's bunk bed. It was then the dreams of the day began. Ever since i had the dream I haven't spoken to Neji, at all. For awhile it only got the the part where Neji finished the x.
PRESENT
"Ino," I said walking into the kitchen for a cookie,
"You don't mind if I go cloud watching with shikamaru do you?"
"Not at all Tenten, you don't have to ask me, I know you guys are like brother and sister, it doesn't bother me at all," Then she smiled and handed me a small box of cookies, "Snacks for cloud watching," she giggled.
"Ino I'm going cloud watching," Skikamaru said hugging her from behind.
"OK but be back in time for dinner, Shika, we're going out, and Tenten, and we need to talk to hokage-sama soon."
"Yes mom," I giggled
"k," was all shikamaru said before giving her a quick peck on the lips and heading for the door.
AN HOUR LATER
I just finished eating the last cookie and telling him about the dream, "Shikamaru, do, do you think I should talk to him? What if it really happened? What if he really tried to kill me because I lied about my age? and kept my being of anbu a secret...but how would he have found out...."
"Tenten, I think you should talk to him."
"Ok, yes, I think I will, but-"
"Tenten?"
"It's just that," I was poking my index fingers together like hinata used to, "Shika-nii-chan, I'm scared. . . . ."
(A/N: I'm going to explain some stuff right now so yeah listen)
1: Tenten had a Nice family a brother that was 11 when she was 8, and her mom and dad, who were great ninja, One day, He Mom had commit suicide and her dad was thrown into depression. Her dad began to beat her brother. One day her dad had gone to far and her brother was in a fatal fragile condition. He dad finally commit suicide himself when she was 9. The her Brother died days later.
2: She had a brother who would be about shikamaru's age, so she treats him like her brother.
3: Neji, doesn't know tentens real age, he thinks she is a year older than she is. he doesn't know anything about the anbu thing and does not suspect anything.
4:No one knows of Tenten's past. She has never told any one. if they ask she tells them they died in the great war.
back to the story
"It's ok to be scared Tenten, if you want, I'll come with you."
"Thanks Shika, but I'm gonna go now, I'll see you when you get back from your date." he blushed, and with that she left.\
I went to the training ground, and surprisingly found Neji sitting against a tree, arms around his knees, head hanging. His hair was undone, he was wearing a pair of dark jeans and a black t-shirt saying "given up" in white on the sleeve. His black vans were torn up. I silently walked over to him.
"Neji?" I said softly. I saw flashes of him coming at me changing into the one i loved so much....I heard a sniffle, which pulled me out of my trance like state "Neji, are you ok? whats wrong?" I was nervous and scared he'd kill me then and there. He looked up and away from me.
"What the hello do you want!?"
"To talk..."I whispered the last part.
"You haven't for months now you do?! Why the hell would you up and change your mind!"
"I was scared...Neji..." He sighed.
"What do you want to know?"He looked at me for the first time, his face was tear-streaked, and his eyes were red.
"Neji,"she gasped seeing his state. She wiped his face off with her sleeve,"whats wrong?"
"Don't worry about it, what do you want to know, is it about our last mission? Cause I need to talk to you about that?"
"Neji, did, did you kill me?" she was looking down tears forming in her eyes.
"How could I kill you? your right here?"
"Look." She unbuttoned the top three buttons of her shirt. She'd dropped to her knees and grabbed her hand placing it over the scar. "You gave that to me, didn't you?" she whispered the last part.
"Tenten, I had been possessed, thats why I had stabbed Lee, but it wasn't my doing, we were ambushed... One of the men possessed me with a unknown and possibly illegal jutsu."
"But you turned into something, something, that no one knows about. . ." she whispered the last part again.
"You were put into a genjutsu, It takes things from your mind, they probably thought that I was your boyfriend or something, knowing that it would kill you to see me becoming something you don't look back on or something like that 'n what not." He leaned in to examine my scar more closely. "You've scratched it, it'll get infected that way. . ."
"What happened after word?"
"Lee's stabbed arm went numb and he stabbed the guy who was possessing me right after he finished making me. . . Stab...." he trailed off.
"Is that all?"
"Well we took you to a hospital after word we were all fine but, Lee was terrified seeing as I almost killed yo-"
"Neji, I forgive you, now tell me, whats wrong, you only dress like this and undo your hair when your super depressed."
"Tenten, I thought you hated me, I was afraid I lost you forever, that I'd never get my friends back..."
"I'm not leaving, Do not worry, Tenten is here for you, Neji. Hey do you want to come over for dinner? Ino and Shika-nii-san will be out of the house and Chouji is on a mission as of after Ino made you leave."
"Sure, as long as I won't be a burde-"
"You won't be, if you don't come I'll be lonely."
"OK," He stood up, "Uh.." he extended his hand.
"Thanks!" I said carefully and headed back toward the house Neji trailing behind.
"What do you want to make for dinner?" I asked
"Uh, I don't know how to make anything other than cereal or instant stuff," he shrugged.
"So you don't eat real food?" I asked surprised.
"not unless I got out, but I don't do that often."
"How about spegetti?"
"Never had."
"Well you are gonna learn how to make it, tonight, and your gonna like it." I grabbed his hand and started running back to the house. When we got there I was panting, I walked up to the door and unlocked it.
"Come on in," I said holding the door open for him, he nodded and walked in.
"Is this your first time in this house?"
"Yes."
"Well, To the kitchen!"
Neji POV.
I followed Tenten to the kitchen. It was my first time in this house, it was a fairly nice house accually.
"Nejiiiii," She looked at me with pleading eyes then I realised she was holding an apron a frilly pink and purple apron.
"Can you tie it for me? And it's Ino's, don't give me that look."
I was slightly taken aback, "Er, ok," was all I managed to say. She tied it aroung her waist and picked up her hair that was for a change in a half ponytail. I began to tie the string together, in a bow.
"Thanks! Are you ready to learn how to make spegetti?"She asked
"Yes."
I watched her reach for some noodles, they looked like round ramen noodles.
"Neji, can you grab the pot under the the toaster, it's black with silver handles."
I got the pot out, "Now fill it three fouths the way full of water and put it on the stocve to boil." I nodded and put it on the stove.
"Tenten, how does it boil?"
She giggled again, "You have to turn the stove on silly, open this please," she said handing me the noodles, "Can you hand me a noodle?"
I handed her a noodle and watched her break in into four smaller peices. She put one peice in her mouth, "You want to try one?" She asked me.
"It's raw noodle, why are you eating it?"
"Neji it's safe and I like the way it tastes!"
"No, thanks."
"Suit yourself yourself, Neji put the noodles in the hot water, and turn it Down."
Tenten pov
I got out a sause pan and put it on the stove turning it to low, I took the sauce out of the fridge, and instructed Neji on how to make the entire spegetti meal.
Half an hour later I was setting the table when Neji came over and said " I'll set the table, you serve the food."
I nodded.
A few minutes later I came out with two plates I place his infront of him and mine were I was going to sit. I removed Ino's apron, put it away and sat down. Neji hadn't touched his food, I frowned. "Is something wrong why haven't you eaten?"
"I was waiting for you, and I don't know how to eat it, how the hell do you get it to stay on the fork?" I giggled.
"You eat it with your fork like this," I showed him how to eat his spegetti, by spinning the fork you know? "Now you try." I smiled. He looked ...nervous?
He ate it. " What do you think?"
hehe cliffie haha not really btw neji is a bit of an emotional wreck whenever tenten isn't around or if she doesn't want him around thats why he was like he was at the training ground. wow this revision is better. kinda haha
