Hope you guys enjoy this because it's a REALLY short chapter. Good news is that, this is a NejiTen moment ;)
Got any suggestions? Feel free to suggest :)
The person following Tenten at the moment underneath the dark sky thought that the brown haired girl didn't notice at all.
However, he thought wrong. Tenten did notice the stalker but didn't do anything.
Not yet at least.
Tenten can be very good at acting. She simply lets the mysterious person stalk her.
"Hmm" Tenten thought. "It's a bad idea that you decided to follow me. We can play your little game but I never lost."
The mysterious stalker tried his best hiding in the dark while following Tenten. However, he was too stupid. When Tenten turned into a corner, the man did the same. This time, the brown-haired girl was standing in front of him. Arms crossed, death glares and an angry look crossed her face.
"What the hell do you want from me?" She shouted. "I suggest you better loose it because I'm not scared of you! Now tell me, who the fuck are you?"
"Wow," the mysterious man said in a chuckle. It was the same perverted customer from earlier. "Even off duty you're still quite rude. Didn't your parents ever told you to have good manners? or not to let you walk alone?"
"Just because I'm a girl?" Tenten laughed in mockery. "Didn't your parents ever told you to never underestimate anyone? You pick the wrong girl to mess with mister."
Unexpectedly, the man pinned Tenten in a nearby pole. The girl grunted in pain for a moment but she still has a trick up her sleeves. She simply lets the man do whatever he wants. He stroked her face with his rough hand and it really made Tenten uncomfortable.
"My my," he whispered. "Your sure are a lovely girl."
"Aren't you a little old for me?" Tenten slapped his hand. "Never mess with me."
The man was about to undo her top but Tenten decided he had enough. She grabbed his wrist in a painful manner and gave him the deadliest glare. The man was struggling on her deadly grip and went down on his knees.
"I told you," she whispered deadly. "to never underestimate me."
The man was still struggling to break free from his grip but Tenten was way too strong for him. She then snapped his wrist and the man screamed in pain. That wasn't enough though, Tenten then raised her leg and kicked the man in his stomach, sending him crashing to the wall.
"Hope you learned your lesson, pervert." Tenten advised as she cracked her knuckles.
"Wow," a familiar voice said. "You sure are even deadlier during the night."
"Huh?" Tenten turned around to see a familiar face.
It was Neji Hyuga wearing a plain white shirt and a pair of jeans. He had a smirk on his face.
"You!" Tenten yelled angrily. "What the hell do you want?"
"I was right," Neji told her. "You are even deadlier at night. mean look at what you did to that poor man over there. Heh, for a second there I completely forgot about you fighting skills when that man had his way. I would have came to you rescue."
"You were watching this whole time?" Tenten raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here anyways?"
"Just taking a stroll," the famous teen replied. "What are you doing out here so late? It's not safe for you to be out here."
"I can take care of myself Hyuga," Tenten told him.
"I can see that" Neji noticed. "I sometimes wonder if your actually a girl."
"I am a girl," Tenten said, dusting herself off.
"But your sure are not like the other girls I've met," Neji complimented. "Your completely different from the others. Come on, walk with me. Don't worry, I won't do anything."
"How so?" Tenten wondered. The two started to walk through the streets, leaving the unconscious man behind. "And even if you did try to do anything, I'm still not afraid to kick your ass Neji Hyuga. Even if your are famous."
"Well for one thing," Neji started to explain. "The fact that your not afraid to kick my ass. And how you didn't fall instantly in love with me. I mean I'm hot, famous, rich. I have everything! I'm a complete package!"
"Everything but an actual heart." Tenten mumbled. "Neji, can I ask you something?"
"Sure you can go on a date with me!" Neji joked. Tenten gave Neji a small but deadly glare. "Just kidding. What do you want to ask me then?"
"Why must you treat every girl like a toy? I mean your always sleeping with one girl one night and the next day, you practically dump her. Your just like a child. Don't you ever had a REAL girlfriend or ever been in love?"
"No" Neji simply said. "I've been with many girls throughout my years of popularity. But I've never had an actual girlfriend. Rather, I've never been in love. How can you even tell if your truly in love with someone?"
Tenten stared at the Hyuga for a moment. He seems so different tonight.
"I seriously don't know," Tenten told him. "I never believe in love at all. It's just complicated. The only real love I ever see is one of those fairy tales that my mother used to read to me."
"Used to?" Neji asked. This is the first time he ever had a conversation like this. It felt quite nice for him. He feels completely different around this girl. Not knowing why, he wants to get to know her better. This is the first time the famous teen model felt.
"She died when I was just a little girl." Tenten told him. "She was diagnosed with Leukemia. I can't even remember anything about her except that photo of hers which I kept as a bookmark in the book that she reads to me. I know this seems odd but whenever I read that book, I would imagine her telling me the story with her gentle voice. It's like she's imagining herself in it. The very last words she ever told me was to stay strong and be who I want to be."
"As in not being a girl?" Neji teased. Immediately, Tenten kicked him on his leg.
"Ow!" Neji screamed. "Can't you take a joke?"
"I can," Tenten smirked. "I just have fun kicking you."
"More like you have fun kicking everyone's ass" Neji mumbled.
"I have to learn to defend and fight for myself. Just like the princesses in the story. The only difference is that they can't really kick butt. But they sure know how to fight!" Tenten said confidently. "I don't want to be a damsel in distress."
The pale-eyed smirked at her words. He never met someone like her before. This is getting better.
"So," Tenten asked. "Why did you want to become famous?"
"Because I'm good looking!" Neji bragged.
"Wow," Tenten told him. "Your really have a high pride don't you?"
"Maybe" Neji said as Tenten chuckled and shook her head. The way she laughs was quite adorable according to him. It was unlike any other laugh he ever heard. "This is just like a date isn't it?"
"Not even a bit!" Tenten screamed at him. The Hyuga did his famous smirk again.
"Your lucky," he admitted. "that you get to decide your own your fate. Sure I'm a famous right now but I still can't escape my real fate."
"Hmm?" Tenten noticed Neji and his hand trembling. Was he mad about something? She took her own hand and gently placed it on his trembling hand. Neji looked up to see a gentle smile from the girl's face.
"You can escape it. It just takes time." the brown hair advised. "Oh there's my house! Gotta go now!" she immediately lets go of his hand and ran towards her home. Leaving a stunned young man.
"When?" he wondered.
Sorry for the short chapter. Hopefully it's at least a little good though. If you have any suggestions about the next chapter, suggest away :D and I'll see if I can use it.
