A NejiTen fanfic

Tenten's P.O.V.

"Hi Shizune," I greeted, walking through the studio door.

Why am I here? I don't want to be. It's my weekend. So why have I come through these god foresaken doors today? Tsunade just informed me that I had to try on a costume. My least favorite part of dance class. I mean, they're itchy, revealing, and very uncomfortable. Whoever came up with wearing fancy attire while performing sucks. Seriously! I've never had a comfortable outfit to wear on stage and I probably never will. I was dreading that today would come though. And here it is.

"Hello," Shizune remarked, smiling. "Why are you here today?"

I grimaced. Did she have to remind me?

"Costumes," I groaned.

"Don't you like trying them on?" the black hair woman questioned.

"SINCE WHEN?" I cried. "Ahem, sorry,"

"Have fun," she giggled at my sudden outburst.

"Yeah well-" I didn't finish. I didn't know what to say. So, naturally as I walked away, I muttered about itchiness and the low comfort level.

Grumbling, I swung open the door, revealing Tsunade and Neji.

"Finally," Tsunade hissed. "How long does it take to get here?"

"Hmph," I retorted. "Let's just get this over with,"

This was going to be a terrible outcome. I knew it. Tsunade had an evil smirk plastered on her face all of a sudden.

I gulped. Oh god.

The blonde strutted to the other side of the room and yanked out a box from underneath the stereo.

"I have your costumes right here," she sang.

"You already have them?" I demanded. "How did you manage that?"

"Costumes," Tsunade repeated. "The same ones in different sizes,"

"So you knew what you were going to make us wear before the dance?" I asked her. "We don't even know the song yet,"

"But I do," Tsunade laughed. "I'm not telling you guys yet,"

I crossed my arms. Of course she's not. She never does anything in my favor.

"Hn," Neji stoically replied. "Are you going to show us?"

"Or leave us in hanging suspense," I finished.

"Show you of course," Tsunade answered. "You have to try them on,"

WHAT?! Um, maybe I should have guessed that in the beginning. But I don't want to try them on until I have to wear it at the competition. Except that might be considered being unprepared.

"Here," Tsunade pulled off the cover and handed me something.

No. Fricken. Way.

I stared at it in disbelief.

"No," I commented.

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No,"

"No,"

"Yes- damn you!"

"Try it on," Tsunade growled, while handing Neji his.

WHAT THE HELL? Why can't I wear his?!

"Change behind the mats," Tsunade ordered.

I reluctantly scrambled behind the might, mumbling the whole way. I didn't like changing in the same room as Neji but he was in the other enclosure of mats so we were perfectly far away but it bugged me when I heard the sound of his shirt dropping to the floor.

Wincing slightly, I cringed, removing my top and pulling down my leotard. Then I unwillingly slipped into the costume that Tsunade had given me.

I didn't want to come out from the mats but knew that Tsunade would come in here sooner or later and physically remove which I did not want considering how strong she looked.

Biting my lip I stepped out and faced the mirror. What I was wearing was a short, short, skirt, a top that covered all my chest but revealed my stomach and ribs, fishnet tights, and silk black gloves that went up to my forearm. The top and skirt were different shades of black and white so it was hard to describe. The skirt was layered thickly, poofing out at different layers for that was the type of material it was at those points and both top and bottom were covered in sequence which I hate because it's so itchy.

I looked over at Neji and he wore a silk white shirt and polyester black pants. HE WAS SO NORMAL WHILE I LOOKED LIKE A SLUT!

My eye twitching in anger, I covered my stomach with my arms, for I didn't want Neji to see me like this.

Tsunade handed me something and I looked at it.

It was a satin choker with a red rose on it.

"No," I remarked.

"Yes," She said, snatching it from my hands and stretching it over my head, which was hard because of the buns. She situated it so the flower was angled a little at the side.

The woman now examined Neji and I. She smiled. "Perfect, you guys are so cute,"

Neji and I death glared her. My fist was now clench and shook furiously.

"I LOOK LIKE A DAMN SLUT!" I cried. "How the hell is that cute?"

Tsunade shrugged. "Guess we have different points of view,"

I looked down. God was she bugging me today.

"Now," Tsunade smirked once more. "You're going to dance in them once,"

NO! Neji has to touch me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What?" I hissed through clenched teeth.

"But," Tsunade said. "I will let you hear the song and that's what you can dance to,"

"Fine," I replied. "But just once,"

I got into my position still eager to hear the song but not wanting to dance to it. I really didn't fancy this outfit.

Tsunade put on the song and I immediately recognized it. It was My Immortal by Evanescence.

"Hold it," Tsunade instructed. "You guys start at the chorus because I haven;t taught you the beginning yet,"

I nodded and waited for the music.

"Hold two three four, five six seven eight!" It was slowly than I imagined but the song was sad.

"When you cried I'd, wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears..."

As it went on, I chassed, stepped with my left, leapt with perfectly straight knees, landed on my right, did a chasse to the left, stepped with my right, pushing off. Here it comes! Neji touched my bare waist and I wanted badly to crawl back but listening to the music helped soothe me. His fingers were ice cold though and felt unwelcome. I kept my eyes open though as he pushed me down into my splits, once his hands left me I felt relief wash over. Then I leaned forward onto my stomach, sat on my ankles, rolled, slowly rose up with my arms following, then coming down. I then did two pika turns, brushing against Neji when I finished.

"Good job," Tsunade commented. "You two have calmed down...a little,"

I panted slightly. "Yeah thanks,"

"You can take off your costumes now,"

"Now that's what I wanna hear," I answered, skipping to the mat, immediately stripping from my attire and quickly changing back into the leotard and etc.

When I was done, I walked out from behind the mat. So that wasn't as bad. But my costume is still unbearably itchy and not to mention slutty but I would have to deal with that...also Neji touching me. Oh god was that disturbing. I mean I know he would never rape me because he's too cold it just doesn't feel right cause I don't trust him.

"BYE!"I called loudly, exiting.

Walking out of the room I sighed. This was surely and interesting year for me. Especially since summer was ending and school was gonna start soon.

So he touched your bare skin?

Shut up.

Why don't you trust him?

Do you want me to name reasons?

No because you're going to keep going on and on.

Exactly....wait a sec.

A little slow there.

Whatever what do you want?

I strolled out the next door, waving goodbye to Shizune.

Well, I was saying that you could hook up with Neji.

...

What?

...

Hello?

Are you fricken kidding me?

Erm, no.

Hell no!

Why not?

I don't hook up with jerks.

You could loosen him up.

How exactly?

Don't know. Kiss him?

Still going on about that are ya?

What? I think it'll work.

Yeah and I think that a can of pop will fly if you throw it out a window.

You do?

...no.

But you just said-

Are you stupid?

No.

Then why say what you just did?

To annoy you.

I should've known.

Yes you should.

Well go away.

Why is that?

Because I've got my own problems to deal with.

Like what?

Like trying to explain my dance costume to my parents!
