~*~*~*~*Dance Partners*~*~*~*~
~A NejiTen Fanfic~
Tenten's POV:
It was about 7:00 AM when I woke the next morning. Neji was beside me, reading on his bed, and I was on the floor wrapped in a blanket kingdom. My cheeks flushed from slight embarrassment as I realized that he had probably seen me sleeping. I wondered if I snored or talked . . . how troublesome- wait! I am not a Shikamaru.
"That book interesting?" I asked tiredly, followed by a yawn, as I rolled on to my stomach looking up at the dance prodigy.
"Not hardly," Neji remarked, not looking away from his page.
I groaned, slowly closing my sleepy eyes. "What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
Neji didn't respond but he kept reading.
Finally though, my curiosity got to me and I peeked at the book cover.
Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks (1)
"Huh, nice book you're reading there," I commented, then ignoring Neji's glare, took a seat on his bed next to him, also ignoring the aching soreness.
I peered over his shoulder and he glanced at me. "What are you doing?" he inquired, slightly annoyed.
I didn't reply but kept reading:
"It's very simple," Cadel explained quickly what would happen. That afternoon when Gazo was at Yarramundi, Cadel would infiltrate the Yarramundi system, via Adolf's computer. For exactly ten minutes, he would disable the program that controlled the surveillence cameras near Adolf's office. "You're first class isn't until three?" He asked.
"Neji?" I asked. "What kind of book is this?"
Neji closed his eyes, then the book, avoiding eye contact. "A dark one," he replied. "Dark and evil,"
I sweat dropped. "I kinda figured that."
Neji opened one of his eyes. "In ways you don't know,"
I shrugged off his weird and sudden cold response, plopping down back on my bed. He was probably displeased with me reading over his shoulder, which is something that I hate . . . a lot. It gives you that creepy and frozen feeling (even if you are the King of Ice *cough cough* Hyuuga)
Before I even had a moment to relax though, the door broke down. And when I say it broke down I mean it fricken broke down!
In came the Konoha police.
I jumped back startled clutching Neji's bed. What the hell were they doing here?!
One grabbed me by the arm, which hurt quite a lot. "Your Tenten?" He growled.
"Ow," I answered. "Yes,"
"You really think you can hide?" He snarled, motioning towards his friends.
"Ow," I moaned again. "I though you guys were supposed to be nice,"
"We are," he remarked, having one of his members take Neji, who reluctantly did not start a fight.
"We're taking out bad guys," He explained, shoving me through the door.
Hiashi stared down at us while we moved.
"What the hell are you doing?" I hissed, almost tripping from being pushed from behind. "Stop them!"
"You were involved in a fight," Hiashi stated, blandly. "I'm doing the right thing."
"I was kidnapped!" I cried, attempting to fling my arms up for emphasis which was . . . pretty impossible in the situation.
"You should of called the police," Hiashi remarked, avoiding eye contact.
I snarled. Honestly. People could be so cruel.
I glanced at Neji who was staring at his father looking pretty pissed. Like this was beyond the regular Neji Hyuuga Glare© it was on steroids.
Yep. Pissed off Neji looked.
"So what are you gonna do with us?" I demanded, trying not to get as pissed as Neji because I was shoved harder. "Throw us in jail?"
"Yes," the policeman replied, pushing me out the door.
"STOP!"
Neji and I both whipped around. Hinata was facing us, her pale eyes fierce and determined.
"If you take them take me too," She said boldly.
My heart raced. What was she doing?!
"Hinata," I murmured.
Hiashi raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" He interrogated.
"I chose to go with them," Hinata answered, strongly.
There was no possible that this was the same, sweet Hinata from a couple days ago. Maybe our little 'spat' last night with Raipo and his cronies had really gotten to her.
Hiashi sniffed reluctantly, but not to be stood up and embarrassed in front of the Konoha police, he ordered them to take her also.
I was absolutely disgusted.
"C'mon, let's go!"
"GET THE HELL OFF OF ME, RANGER RICK!" (1)
Sitting in a room in the police department, Neji and Hinata on either side of me, I observed as some policeman brought in a reluctant Tsunade. If I wasn't in this situation I'd be laughing my ass of at the situation but deep down this was only making me more pissed.
One by one though, I watched more and more of my friends arrive. Ino, Temari, Kiba, Shikamaru (who looked the most pissed probably because he was hoping to sleep in after long hours the night before), Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto (who was cursing the whole way), Suigetsu and Karin.
I was getting more pissed because of the way they were manhandling us.
Finally, someone forced me to stand. "Ow," I moaned.
I couldn't see that guy from behind me but I could hear him discussing with another one about cells.
"Definitely don't put them together," the one holding me said.
"But in public ones," the other concluded.
"Yes,"
I growled. They were supposed to interrogate us. What the hell was this?!
We were pulled apart and separated from each other and pushed into other cells.
If we were in another situation I'd be touched by the fact that Neji kept glancing at me nervously, but was too blinded by my pissed-off-ness that I didn't think about it.
First I was guided through the guy cells which was NOT fun because there were tons of whistles and verbal rape (2)
I arrived though, at the unpleasant cell that sickeningly reminded me of that cell. You know what one I'm talking about . . .
The policeman shoved me in not very gently into a cell full of not very nice looking girls.
They glared at me as the man walked away. Once he was out of sight one of them spoke up.
She had black hair, a ton of tattoos, and a shitload of earrings that scared the hell outta me.
"Wow, bitch, what'd you do? Too bitchy?"
I had NO idea what it was about me she hated so much until I realized my makeup. She probably assumed I was some stuck up bitch like I was assuming she was some creeper on drugs.
I laughed nervously. "Oh I just got in a little fight,"
The girl scowled looking at my wounds. "Looks like you got owned."
Her friends behind her guffawed. "Oh!" they bellowed.
I did another laugh, completely terrified. "Well it was a tough fight but I guess I won,"
The girl stared at me, skeptical. "Cut the fuckin' crap," she hissed.
Inside I was hurt but I decided to ignore her.
It had been forty minutes of standing with these creeps watching me every move I did. . . that only included blinking.
Finally, I decided to sit down and give my aching body a rest for once.
Before I took my seat though I shoved, not extremely hard though, out of the way.
"That's my seat," the girl from earlier informed me angrily.
I scooted over on the bench trying to not lose my temper but she followed me raising an eyebrow.
"The whole bench is mine," she corrected, crossing her arms waiting for me to make my move.
Okay. By now, you guys know me. You KNOW that my temper does not hold.
Shaking a little, I stood up, smiling sweetly.
"I don't know," I started. "What your problem with me is but," I looked up at her now . . . and got IN her face. "YOU HAVE NO FUCKIN IDEA WHAT HELL I'VE BEEN THROUGH, HAVE YOU?! TO START IT OFF, I HAD TO GO TO A NERVE WRECKING DANCE COMPETITION LOADED WITH MAKEUP AND ITCHY COSTUMES! MY DANCE PARTNER STARTS TO BE A BITCH ABOUT IT THOUGH FOR SOME REASON AT AWARDS SO I FUCKIN RUN OFF CLUELESS TRYING TO GET THE IMAGE OF THE SLUTS THAT ARE FUCKIN LAYING ON HIM OUT OF MY HEAD! THEN RIGHT THERE I GET FUCKIN KIDNAPPED! A GUY RAPES ME AND I'M BARELY SPARED, GETTING SAVED BY MY DANCE PARTNER, WHO WAS APPARENTLY IGNORING ME SO I WOULDN'T GET KIDNAPPED, AND MY OTHER FRIENDS AND DANCE TEACHER WHO HAPPEN TO BE FIGHTING OFF A GANG THAT HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST MY PARTNERS FAMILY! THEN WE HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH FUCKIN SHIT AND BOMBS AND SCYTHES AND A WHOLE LOTTA OTHER CRAP JUST TO STAY ALIVE! WHEN WE'RE ABOUT DEAD THE REST OF MY DANCE TEAM COMES AND HELPS US KICK THEIR ASS! I CAMP OUT AT MY PARTNERS HOUSE WITHOUT GOING TO THE HOSPITAL, WITH NOTHING BUT A FUCKIN FIRST AID KIT TO HEAL MY WOUNDS! THEN I FUCKIN WAKE UP, EXTREMELY SORE, AND GET TAKEN TO JAIL! SO IF YOU EVER THINK I'M A STUCK UP BITCH YOU BETTER FUCKIN THINK AGAIN AND MAYBE CONSIDER I WANNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU FOR JUST SAYING THAT! AND KNOW THIS YOU WHORE, I CAN FUCKIN SIT WHERE'VE THE HELL I FUCKING WANT! GOT THAT?!" I panted heavily, trying not to laugh at the blank stares.
The girl with black hair didn't even look at me twice when I sat in my desired seat on the old bench.
Heheh. It's been a while since I've had an outburst like that.
I slept on the ground during the night thinking my parents were gonna be seriously pissed, meaning I would be in serious shit.
My bruises and cuts were a pain, but my mental stability would probably be the one that was killing me in the end. I laughed to myself though, realizing I was still sane and I had taken the entire situation of the night before pretty calmly and lightly. Of course I had the outburst and etc. but this was me being me. Outbursts are something I do. I'm not me if I don't have a short temper. Speaking of being yourself though . . . HINATA!
That was the boldest I'd ever seen her, this morning. She was totally sweet the way she stood up to her father.
There was some sort of respect inside of me that I have for Hinata, living with an insane father like that. I know for sure that I could never do something like that.
My thoughts tonight though were veering towards Neji. What was he to me? Important I suppose. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Boyfriend had actually come to my mind several times but I immediately pushed it out knowing that A: it was impossible and B: I do NOT fall in love with ice cubes.
So what was Neji? I might never ever know . . .
A/N OMG! Sorry a month update lol is cruel but I gotta be in the mood you know? Not a very long chapter either. I felt like writing an outburst for fun. DID YOU KNOW I GOT GLASSES?! Juicy Couture! They're pretty sweet looking. Yeah. Anyways I REALLY enjoyed writing the outburst since I haven't updated in a while, I though you guys might want a recap:) Thanks for reading. I LOVE YOUUUUUUU!
(1) RANGER RICK! I was watching Avatar and Grace (Sigourny Weaver) was all like, "What are you gonna do Ranger Rick? SHOOT ME?!" to the military dude. Lol I love her so much! Resembles Tsunade a lot!
(2) Verbal rape . . . yes. My friend was just over and we were just dissing each other cuz we're cool like that and she was like, "Haha, this is verbal rape," I thought it was hilarious so I decided to use it in my story. :)
NYU~!
Thanks for reading again. If you're still alive review please!!!!
