Chapter 14: What do you do when bored? Play a game of 20 questions.

A/N: Finally... an update. Thanks to the reviewers!

20 QUESTIONS

Tenten cursed loudly as she wearily sat on the branch she had been standing on. "Stupid rain," she muttered.

Neji nodded in agreement as he watched the drops of water pelting down. He and Tenten were about to spar when it started to rain. Not wanting to get sick, they were forced to take shelter on a sturdy tree.

"Hopefully it won't rain later," he said, looking up at the sky. Konoha was holding a festival later that night.

"I hope so," Tenten nodded in agreement.

Neji didn't really understand the use of such festivals but he was planning something for the night and he didn't want it to be ruined by the stupid rain.

Tenten sighed as she turned her gaze to the young man sitting beside her. He had already began to meditate. She shook her head disapprovingly. She just couldn't understand why he even did it. Everytime she tried it, she always ended up falling asleep. But she couldn't just sit there and do nothing… no siree.

"Hey Neji," she whispered quietly.

"Hn."

"Neji!" she repeated again, forcing him to open his eyes.

"What. Tenten?" He asked, obviously irritated. She was the only one who could distract him from his meditation.

"Let's play a game!" She suggested happily.

"Hn," he grunted again, resuming his meditation.

"Does that mean yes or no?"

"Hn."

"Neji!"

"Hn."

"Please?" she insisted, pouting.

Neji sighed as he opened his eyes in defeat. She looked so much like a child. "Fine," he exhaled as he saw her grin widely. "What game?"

"20 questions!" She said gleefully. "You know how to play it right?"

Neji scoffed.

She took that as a yes. Tenten giggled. "Good. I'll start."

Neji nodded.

"Um…" Tenten cocked her head to the side, thinking deeply. "When is your birthday?"

Neji's eyebrow raised. "You already know the answer to that."

Tenten shrugged. "I couldn't think of anything else."

"July 3," Neji shook his head wearily.

Tenten nodded. "Your turn!"

"Birthday?"

Tenten scowled. "You know the answer to that!"

Neji shrugged. "I don't know what else to ask," he said, mocking her words.

"Fine. March 9," Tenten smiled.

"Hn," Neji answered, nodding.

"Why do you like meditating?" Tenten asked.

"It relaxes me," Neji said, simply.

"Is that all?"

"It helps me think."

"Oh… Well that's boring… You turn!"

"Why do you love irritating me?"

"Do I?" tenten asked, surprised.

"That's another question, and yes… you do." Neji answered, smiling.

Tenten giggled. "Maybe it's because its fun seeing you annoyed."

Neji rolled his eyes. "You're turn."

Tenten cocked her head to the side. "Oh! I know! What's your blood type?"

"O. You?"

"B." Tenten answered, grinning.

"Next."

"Hm… What's your favorite food?"

"I like fish soba." Neji answered, shrugging. "What are your hobbies?"

"I like fortune-telling…" Tenten said. "Wait. How many questions have I asked?"

"Six." Neji answered, simply. "And I've asked four."

"Oh… You ask, then."

Neji thought for a moment. He had nothing to ask Tenten… He seemed to know everything about her already. And how could he not? They told each other everything. They've been friends for years. But sometimes, Neji doubted if he only did look at her as a friend. Sometimes… it just felt like she was something more. But he never had the courage to tell her that. He was scared of being rejected. Of losing her.

"Neji?" She asked, disturbing his thoughts.

"Do you like somebody?" Neji asked. But after the words slipped from his mouth, he wanted more than anything to use the Gentle Fist on himself.

"I—What?" Tenten said, blushing.

"You heard me," he said, He didn't mean to ask the question so suddenly, but even he couldn't help it. And since the words were already out there, there was no point in hesitating.

"Y-yes…" she answered.

Neji nodded. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to be happy or not. And now the question was: who? "Your turn," he said.

"Alright," Tenten said, regaining her composure. Neji's sudden question surprised her. Of course she liked somebody. She liked… Him… But there was no way she would be telling him that. "Do you like somebody?" she asked, wanting to ask for years the same question he had asked her.

Neji smirked. "Yes," realizing, himself as he answered her.

"Oh…" Tenten said, sadly. "Is she beautiful?"

"Very," Neji answered, smirking.

Tenten forced herself to smile. Now there was absolutely no chance that it was her. But that was not gonna stop her from finding out who it was. "Where is she right now?"

Neji smiled as he approached her. "In front of me."

The next thing Tenten knew was that Neji's lips crashed on hers. She felt her whole body burn as his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Your turn," she said, grinning, as they pulled apart for air, her hands still resting on his shoulders.

He grinned, looking straight at her eyes. "Do you think she feels the same way about me?"

"Definitely."

END

A/N: Just finished going through the facts (bdays, blood types, etc) about Neji and Tenten, and my mind came up with this.

It's kinda crappy, yes, I know.
