A NejiTen fanfic
Tenten's P.O.V.
I took in a deep breath and stared across the dark stage, waiting impatiently for the announcement. I knew it was coming. The names would blare through the microphone speakers like all the other dancers, but it was different now. That was other people. Not Neji and I. Those people have already got it over with...we haven't.
Calm down it's just the preliminaries.
So?
So you shouldn't worry.
Why not?
Cuz', you've practiced tons and in that costume...I'm sure the judges'll make an exception if you mess up.
...
At least the guys will.
...Don't talk to me. I can't believe your mind it's like-
"Tenten and Neji, to My Immortal from Konoha School of Dance!"
My legs trembled and Neji nodded across the stage.
Shake off the fear, I reminded myself. This is just preliminaries.
Hell yeah it is!
Shut up!
Whoops. Sorry.
I paced onto the stage, making sure to keep graceful strides.
"WOOHOO!!!! YEAH!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!! YAHOO!!! SHOW YOUR STUFF!!!"
I ignored the white haired judge. I seriously though I was blushing so much, it was redder than my blush.
Neji knelt before me. I lifted my arms out and he hoisted me into the air by the waist.
I gazed down at him, pulling the edges of my lips into a smile.
Neji's face was serious, he gazed back at me and I remembered that smiling was not part of this after the intro.
Finally, the music started.
"When you'd cry I'd, wipe away all of your tears..."
Chasse step lep, step turn, push and jump.
The words played in my mind as I followed them, butterflies slowly easing their dancing in my stomach.
Neji twirled me and pushed me into my splits, leaping away after.
I moved over onto my stomach and then heaved myself onto my knees, then rolled to the back, pushing off my right foot which was crossed under my left, without using my arms.
As I got up, my arms rose above my head and slowly moved down again, I then did four pika turns, brushing against Neji.
I ran around him and leapt into the air (left leg leap).
Chasse to the left, ball change that leaps into three more pikas.
I was now was next to Neji, and slowly danced around him.
"I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone...and though you're still with me. I've been a-lone all along!"
Now, I bent back into a bridge (otherwise known as back bend) and kicked over, once my right foot landed, I pushed into my left leg splits, therefore having my right leg go into the back.
Adrenaline had definitely rushed through me at the moment and though I was panting heavily, it felt as if I had all the energy in the world.
I rolled out of them and stood, then did one regular shennay, then three double shennays to Neji.
"When you'd cry I'd-"
Neji grabbed me by the waist just as I arrived, pushed me down slightly then lifted me into the air, my legs went into a center split, and then I landed perfectly, and Neji let go but I put my arms behind my back and Neji swept me under his legs and when I popped up behind him I wrapped my arms around his neck for two counts then parted.
I did to more double shennays to the right and grabbed Neji's hand letting him spin and hen danced off, pushing me to the left side of the stage where I went into another leap.
I did a jazz square and chassed to the side, Neji crossing in front of me, then I turned into him, he lifted my feet up from under me and carried me, spinning me around once, he let me down leisurely and I turned to face him. our hands pressed together (like high fives) . We slowly slid into our splits (my left leg, his right) our heads bowed down, hands still connected.
The crowd roared with excitement. I heaved in deep breaths, waiting one more count of eight and then got up slowly, parting the stage with Neji by my side, both of use walking "nicely".
Once we were off. Tsunade ran and jumped on me...literally.
"Oh my fricken god!" She cried.
I winced.
"WHERE THE HELL DID THE CHEMISTRY COME FROM?"
"What are you talking about?" I questioned, prying the blonde off of me.
"You two!" She exclaimed. "It looked like a story!"
I blushed, though you couldn't tell.
"Erm, cool," I commented.
Neji just stared blankly.
"Hey..."
I turned around and faced the white hair dude.
"Off my student Jiraiya," Tsunade order.
I turned and saw my teacher, nodding, then turned back facing...Neji?
I saw the back of his head. Great view. Thanks Neji. Can you move now?
I moved to the left to get a better view of the pervert. Aww much better even if you didn't move Neji I- Hey! What the hell?! Neji! BUDDY MOVE!
Furiously I tapped his back.
"Sorry," he muttered bitterly.
Thank you.
But Jiraiya was already gone.
Thanks Neji.
But he cared.
A/N Gosh sorry guys. Grandparents are over. Kinda hard to write. But we went out and got a desk for my dad's house so I can use it for my laptop. In fact I'm writing on it right now. I would continue but I have to make the "orderves" as my grandma calls appetizers. So I cut this one short. Sorry for another late update but yeah. School isn't fun. YANKEES MADE THE PLAYOFFS! Sorry.
