The Next Day...

I yawned as I walked out of the school grounds. Today, was tiring. I had to take one of those damn periodic exams and I think I did good... I didn't get stuck on any problems! That's a first.

I looked up from my shoes and froze. The Populars were standing right by the gate, everyone except Neji and Shikamaru were there. Oh shit.

I cautiously walked over to them and tried to pass them, but found it futile. A hand lashed out and grabbed my arm, slamming me to the wall. I grimaced at the pain I felt on my back and head.

I gasped and stared fearfully at an angry Naruto and Sasuke, there hands griping me from either side. I glanced at the rest of the gang, everyone was angry at me. What did I do!?

"You bitch!" I blinked and shrunk under Sasuke's intense gaze. What did I do!? Oh my God! They were going to beat me up! Shit! Shit! Shit! Oh man...!

"W-What!?" I stuttered, my voice unusually high-pitched. I felt my heart beat accelerate as they glared at me. Why? I have no fucking clue! All I knew was that I wanted to make a run for it! And fast.

"Don't act all innocent!" Sakura snarled out, her eyes glaring into mine, "We know what you're all about!" I puffed my cheek up, what the hell!? What I'm all about?!

What?!

"What...? What are you--" I was silenced by a slap on my face. I stared, shocked, at a pissed Ino. Her cheeks were pink from the cold air, yet her lips were moist and smooth but her eyes... they were as pissed as a bull who've just seen the color red.

"Stop acting like you don't know!" I blinked again, hissing at the throbbing I felt on my cheek. That was going to leave a bruise.

"Know what!?" I managed to say. Sakura rolled her eyes upward and placed her hands on her hips. I simply stared at her, not knowing what to do but listen.

"That you're trying to humiliate Neji!" I blinked at that. Humiliate!? Where the hell did they get that stupid idea?! I would never do that! No matter how many times he betrays me I would never... never even...

"What!?" I yelled at her. Bad mistake, it got me another slap, or should I say punch. I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting until the pain subsided a bit. Sakura had punched me in the stomach.

"Not only that! You were going to make him look bad!" Ino screamed at me, forcefully lifting my head up with her manicured finger. "In-front of his uncle! What the hell did Neji do to you, for you to even think of doing that!" I parted my lips slightly, my breath's coming out as puffs.

"Wha--what are you guys t-talking about!?" I swear I had no clue! His uncle?! God know's I wouldn't even look at the guy! He had the 'Look at me and get legally arrested' thing going on.

"It's because he dumped you huh?!" Temari pitched in. I panted lowly, Sakura had punched me in the stomach and that hurt. That girl had great upper-body strength.

I looked up at her, feeling Naruto's and Sasuke's grip on my shoulder's tighten, so much that I wanted squeak in pain. "Huh?" She wrinkled her nose at me, as if disgusted. What was Temari implying...?

"You dated him right? So when he dumped you, you wanted revenge! How pathetic." I felt my heart skip a beat. Date?! Yeah I wish!... Right? At that moment I came to realize one thing. All of those damn feeling's I felt when he dated one of his fangirls... that was... that was jealously right? The way i felt relived when he dumped them the next day... why? I'm not a bad person but I felt happy when he did... I-I...

... I think I loved my ex-best friend.

I know that it wasn't the time or place to think that but it suddenly hit me like a bullet. I loved my best friend but was in so much denial that I would never even think of that! I mean... The way I used to daydream about him, The way I used sigh as if I was a fangirl, the way I used to look at him... It all indicated one thing!

I was, unknowingly, in love with him!

"But I never--" I got cut off by an angry Ino.

"Shut up! We're gonna give you what you deserve!" I felt my face pale at that comment. Oh shit!, "We'll make you think twice before pulling a stunt like that you little slut!" I shut my eyes and almost gagged as Ino and Sakura beat me up. All of those Karate and street fighting lessons seemed to have gone to waste. But, since I was, somehow, assaulted, I had no chance to even fight back. It was almost impossible for me to beat them...

Sakura punched me in the stomach while Ino slapped me in the face. I felt Temari laugh a bit as she filmed the whole thing; bitch. I felt Naruto's grip tighten to a point where it hurt, I even yanked on my arm to try to tell him that it hurt to much, but I knew it was futile. I felt Sasuke's grip lessen bit by bit; I briefly wondered why.

"S-Stop!" I whispered, but they simply hit me harder. What were they trying to do?! Kill me!?

I coughed and moaned, I even screamed one time as Ino and Sakura hit me. I felt Temari pass the camera to an eager Kiba. I felt her grab my face and give me a direct punch on the nose.

I heard a crack. Then a scream. It took me awhile to notice that it was me screaming. My skull was thrown back due to the power of the punch.. making my skull collide with the brick wall behind me and bounce back. My chin was now resting on my chest and my heavy breathing was the only thing that I could hear for the moment.

"What the hell's going on here!?" Everything stopped and I opened my eyes, the pain all around my body throbbing with my heart beat. I stopped my continued screaming and resorted to moaning loudly.

"N-Neji! I-I—Um.. W-We... " I heard Sakura stutter. I saw her shadow move away from me and Ino's too. I could hear myself crying a bit, the pain was intense. It was horrible.

"W-We were j-just--" I heard a sharp in-take of breath and then the grip the two men had on my shoulder's lessened. I fell on my knee's and coughed, a bit of blood coming out. My hand went to my nose where the blood ran freely, it felt horrible.

"Fuck..." I swore. I hardly swore, I usually just grunted and got on with my life but that hurt. A lot. I shut my eyes, the blood coming down my nostrils quickly. Thew worst part was... how it felt.

It was sticky and—and warm. I felt like throwing up the contents of my stomach; just the thought of it made me want to faint.

"Shit! Tenten! Tenten!" I saw someone kneel by me and place a hand on my shoulder blade as I regained my breath. I felt the person, swear more and grab, what looked like a hanker chief. I took it and put it over my -bleeding and possibly broken- nose.

"W-What are you doing?! W-Why..." I heard Ino shriek. Her hand was stained with a bit of blood, her palm red from how many times she slapped me. Just wait Ino! When I get better, oh when I get better I'm gonna punch those pearly whites right out of your mouth bitch!

"Helping her you idiot!" Neji shot back in an uncharacteristic voice. It was high and fearful with a hint of anger, something that I have never heard before. But one thing I was sure of, he was livid.

"B-But! She—she..." Sakura stuttered as she looked from me to him, her face and voice clearly confused.

"Shut up Haruno!" Neji snapped, his voice was now frantic. I saw Sakura wince and look down. Ino came up behind her and bit her lip, knowing that they were in trouble. And the Haruno! If only I could stand up, I would tear and rip out all of that luscious pink hair! Since she had so much pride in it...

But, I have to say, I wasn't that mad. In fact, I was just angry and confused. Not livid like Neji, but pissed off. They beat me up for a reason I don't even know... and it looks like they didn't even know either!

I pushed Neji away, feeling tears brim my eyes, not from pain... but from sadness. I felt weak. Hinata warned me before-hand but I didn't listen. Yesterday, aside from Kiba's snide remarks, I had a good time and I liked them. They ended up leaving at about eleven p.m., with smiles on there faces.

I was pretty sure that they weren't going to beat me up, how wrong I was.

"T-Tenten...?" I heard Neji whisper. I wasn't in the right state of mind. I was scared, hurting and mad. A very bad combination. I put an arm on my stomach and coughed violently, I had a very weak stomach and all of those blows made it worse.

I felt his hand grab my own, making me growl. I slapped his hand away and stood up using the wall, coughing a bit more and spiting out more blood. I looked up and saw my bangs were loose, making them cover my face.

I felt my tears over-flow and drip down my face. Neji's eye's widened and he moved closer to me, swiping his fingers over my cheeks softly.

"Does it hurt a lot?" I shut my eyes and pushed him away, startling him. I knew it was wrong, but I was to scared and shocked to even think of letting him help me.

"L-Leave me alone!" I screamed out, my voice squeaky and rough, "I knew that becoming your friend was wrong!" I coughed, spitting out even more blood. I crushed my tongue with my teeth when Ino slapped me. I winced as I let my mouth stay parted, my tongue feeling as if someone had grabbed some pliers and squished it.

"I-I knew it but I wanted to—to try it! I wanted to—to become your friend again! Continue wha—what we left behind!" I screamed, my stomach hurting even more. I felt like up-chucking.

"But I knew it was wrong!" I said crying, ignoring the shocked looks that everyone but Neji had. "L-Leave me A-Alone!" I choked out, tears streaming down my cheeks.

He reached out and I made a break for it, running across the street and onto the sidewalk on the other side, then running home. Once I was a sure distance away, I let my sobs out. I panted hard and rested my forehead on the cold and hard brick wall, my arm still over my stomach. I shut my eyes and put my hand over my mouth, right before vomiting. But, I didn't eat all day since I only had a bit of money, so I ended up throwing up pure gastric juices that had mixed with my blood, making it pinkish.

I went to the park instead, well, more like limped to the park. I went in deeper then I was suppose to and sat on one of the few benches. I was completely alone except for the tree's and small wild life.

I panted hard, my stomach hurting more then it's suppose to. I coughed out small splats of blood, moaning when I saw it. I sniffed, then immediately regretted it. I think it hadn't stopped bleeding, since Ino did punch me there a lot, and Temari's punch probably broke it.

All I knew was that it throbbed like hell and I wanted it to stop. I should have gone to the doctor first.

I can't believe it! I-I fell into there trap! B-But Neji... he—he didn't know what they were doing but... I sighed out, this was all so confusing. And It all started with a Calculus lesson too.

I leaned back on the bench and let my thoughts roam. What the hell am I going to do!? Oh my God! I can't see him anymore! After that scene and what happened... Oh shit! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I swore in my head.

What was I going to do? Just walk right up to him and say, 'Hey Neji! Its okay that your new best friends beat the living crap out of me.! And I also want you to know that I love you, and I have for a long time!' NO! That would be stupid and illogical.

I coughed again, this time from the weather. It was, seemingly, becoming colder. I shivered against the cold, blowing wind; huddling up inside my coat. I shouldn't have gone here but it was the only place to escape Neji!

I knew him well enough to know that he would come looking for me... Shit! Why would they think that we used to date?! And why would they think I would want revenge?! Who the hell told them that?! And why?! Did someone have a grudge against me?! If so, WHY?!

Argh! So many 'whys', not enough answers.

I coughed, this time out of a sore throat. My throat hurt, my stomach hurt, my face hurt—everything hurt! I know that I should go to a doctor but...

Why would they beat me up?!

I gasped and looked up at the sudden realization, they thought that because I supposedly 'dating' Neji, he dumped me and I wanted revenge! But they got the story all wrong!

I was his best friend but he left me to go hang out with them instead! So, they must've gotten suspicious and asked around. And considering almost all rumors are untrue and considering people talked, they came up with that!

No wonder, they thought that I was making Neji fall in love with me! Then I would hurt him -somehow- and tell his uncle something that would get him in trouble or something.

To me, that would be really retarded, to them—it would mean beating me up without thinking it throughly and without asking Neji.

Something told me that Neji was going to take all his anger out on them.

I sighed, then grunted at the metallic taste in my mouth. I stood up, stumbling a bit as I walked down the path way I took. I coughed hoarsely and then ran to the near-by bushes, throwing up again. I walked down the remaining path way and froze. Neji was there, it looked like he ran here since he was panting heavily; his hair wind-blown and his eye's a bit frantic.

"T-Tenten!" I blinked and then coughed again, crouching down on the floor. Damn... I must've walked to fast, now I feel dizzy.

"Tenten!" And that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out. The pain didn't subside and I was feeling worse then when they were hitting me. I thanked God for making me faint.

But that was a big stab in my ego...

-xxx-

"Mmmnn" I moaned out. The pain... wait! Where was the pain? I opened my eyes to see Sakura, Ino and Temari breathing down my neck, all of there eyes curious and a bit hesitant.

"..." I said nothing and continued to stare at them. Then it hit me, they were the one's that beat me up, "KYAAA!" I screamed and sat straight up. I then backed up, flattening myself against the wall, my breathing once again awry.

"What's the matter?!" Naruto yelled as he ran inside. I stared at him and I swear I felt like fainting again as Sasuke, Kiba, Shikamaru and, finally, Neji walked in. I trembled under there gazes, my breathing turing into deep pants.

W-Why are they here?! Oh great, now Neji wants them to hurt me again?! Whaaa! I thought as I stared warily at them. My heart beat seemed to slow when they did nothing but stare.

"Everyone get out." Neji said in a stern voice. "Now." When he said that, everyone scurried out, except Sasuke, he walked out calmly and whispered something to Neji before leaving completely. That made him smirk and it made me beg for my mommy--figuratively of course.

"Tenten." I stared at him," I'm sorry for what my friends... did to you. They thought that I--" I cut him off. I knew what they thought already, why make him waste his breath?

"I-I know." I blinked, my voice was so hoarse I couldn't even understand myself. I cleared my throat repeatedly, finding it hard since it hurt from me throwing up.

"Here." I looked at the glass, it was orange juice. I gulped it down and then regretted it.

"MMMM!" I covered my mouth and lowered my head to my chest. It hurt! The drink was cold and it felt like Icicles going down my throat and stomach!

"Tenten are you okay?!" I nodded, whimpering a bit. I shut my eyes and moved my tongue, wincing as a small pain erupted from the movement.

"Y-Yeah..." I gave him the glass back and set my hand on my lap. I was embarrassed, hurt and most of all, confused.

How long had I been in love with Neji without me knowing?

But now, I had to face the question I had been trying to avoid ever since I realized that little fact: Did he love me back?

I blushed, images of me and Neji together rushing to my head. I saw him out of the corner of my eye; observing me.

"W-What!?" I stuttered as he stared at me, his head tilted to the side so he could look at me properly. I blushed harder as I stared at him. His long, smooth hair was all to the side with some of his shorter bangs covering his pure eyes.

He abruptly put his hand on my forehead, frowning. "You're hot." I swear I felt my heart skip two beats and my blush increase. I swallowed, trying to calm my racing heart as he swiped his palm down my cheek, caressing it softly.

Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! I thought as Neji's dropped to the bed. I found the bed sheets very interesting at that moment though. I felt Neji's hand climb up my arm and rest on my shoulder gently.

"Tenten..." I closed my eyes momentarily. "Does your arm hurt that much? Is that why you're grabbing it? Maybe the anesthetic wore off..." Neji stood up and headed towards the bathroom and shut the door behind him, leaving me to stare at the sheets with wide eyes.

Oh my God... W-What the hell happened!? He—he was so close to me.. He must've thought my shoulder hurt! Oh thank God! I thought with a sigh of relief. I thought for sure that he would've found out I was having a heart attack because of his proximity.

"Here." I looked up, startled that he made it back to me without making a single sound. Talk about ghostly. I smiled tensely and grabbed the small cup full of purple goo. I frowned.

"Do I have to take it?" Neji cracked a smile and I felt my heart lurch out of it's cavity. He nodded his head as I grimaced. I hated taking medicine. It tasted awful. They made flavors like grape or strawberry seem like puke and vomit.

... Yes I know that those words are the same but right now my mind is going gaga for Hyuga Neji.

I stared at the small cup in my hand, the purple-ish liquid inside the cup moving with my hand as I stirred it softly.

"Tenten, you're going to have to drink it." I shot him a half-hearted glare.

"I know that... Just wait, okay?" I told him in a nervous voice. I really hated medicine. Since a couple of years ago, my mother had forced it down my throat. I had diarrhea or something and couldn't eat anything. Nothing stayed down and I eventually ended up throwing it back up a couple of hours later.

My mother muttered something about me getting pregnant but I quickly killed that comment by saying that I had no guy friends and when she said prostitution I told her that I'd rather die. Turns out I had the stomach flu or something and the medicine that she gave me, not only traumatized me, but fixed me.

Yeah I got better, but that was the last time I ever drank medicine. I'd rather die sick then drink it. And Neji knew that damn well.

I looked up and paled, Neji's face was... mischievous. I gulped silently and laughed nervously, my stomach churning uncomfortably. I had never seen that expression before, and if I had, nothing good came out of it.

"You don't like Medicine, right?" I nodded insecurely, the feeling in my stomach intensifying to a point where I whimpered silently.

"Hmm..." I blinked as he grabbed the cup from my hand, lifting it so that it was even with his eyes. "Okay." I gasped as he drowned the whole cup, his eyes shut tightly as he removed the cup from his mouth and ran a hand over his lips.

"N-Neji!" I yelled, grabbing the cup as I stared at him. His eye's went dark and a smirk was placed on his flawless face.

"Hn." He said as he crushed his lips on mine. I gasped, noting that that small action was a huge error. I felt Neji's tongue pry into my mouth, then a sweet yet repulsive liquid poured in. It took me a while to note that it was the medicine he supposedly 'downed'.

I slowly closed my eyes as Neji's tongue worked on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my right hand placing itself on his shoulder blade as I began to react to his rough kiss.

I suppressed a moan as his tongue ran over mine, he explored every inch of my cavern. Before long, I began to miss something... But I didn't know what it was until my lungs started to burn.

Oh yeah, I forgot, humans need air to survive.

Neji's mouth left my own and I immediately started to pant, breathing in deep amounts of air. I stared at the edge of the bed, my face burning and my mouth left with the delicious flavor of grape and mint.

I didn't even know that would taste good, until now.

I heard Neji cough and rest his forehead on my shoulder. I just stared at the ground, to stunned to do anything other then that.

"... Hmm, I shall keep in mind to use this method more often." I felt my face heat up again at that rude comment. I ran my tongue over my lips quickly, then paled.

O-Oh... G-G-God... I thought fearfully. I just kissed Neji Hyuga. Child prodigy. Born into the second most richest family in Japan. Houston, we have a major problem.

Now how was I suppose to sort out my feelings...

...If all I wanted was to feel Neji Hyuga's lips against my own once more.

-xxx-

One Week Later...

"... Damn." I thought as I stared at myself in the mirror. Neji's 'friends' really fucked me up. I mean, I had an -almost- broken nose, a bruised stomach and hand-like prints on both my arms, from where Naruto and Sasuke had grabbed me, and not to mention my cheeks were a bit swollen.

I didn't go to school. After the.. 'Neji incident', Naruto barged into the room, blabbering about how he was so sorry and how he would do anything to get me to forgive him. Oh yeah, I forgave him...

... When he gave me a one month pass for school. That meant I could miss school for one. Whole. Month.

Naruto couldn't have made me more euphoric.

So, here I am, staring at myself in the mirror as I enjoyed my one month vacation. Now I ask you this, why do I want to go to school? Is it because Neji's there? Is it because I would be able to see Neji?

... Why am I even thinking about Neji!

He's a bastard with—with no life! A-And he had no right to kiss me that way! He.. He stole my first kiss. But, there was something about that kiss, it made me frightened.

That kiss... It made me want to kiss him again. Tell me somethings wrong with this picture.

I sighed and stared out the window to the side of me. I was bored. I sighed once more, wanting Neji to be--

NO!

How could I be thinking of Neji at this time of day!? Why does he always seem to plague my thoughts!? I screamed in my mind. Why can't I think of anything else but his smooth, silky hair and those gorgeous snow white eyes... Damn!

I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror, I poked my nose and winced. It was still tender. I looked at my cheeks touched them, they didn't hurt to the touch but if I squeezed or hit them slightly, it hurt. I then touched my stomach, it wasn't hurting anymore except when I have to get up from lying down or something.

I sighed once more and sat down on the couch, wincing as my stomach released a sharp pain.

Knock Knock

I growled. I just sat down and now I have to get up!? What the hell man?! God, I am sorry for whatever wrongs I have done! Just let me bath in my sorrow, alone. I sighed as they knocked once more.

I stood up slowly and walked over to the door, opening it and then glaring at who stood there.

"HEY!!" Sakura and Ino screamed. I could see Kiba, Shikamaru, Sasuke and Naruto right behind them, along with violet hair that looked familiar.

I glared and shut the door, locking it as I slowly made my way back to my couch. I sat in it and groaned, Oww... Damn, they sure know how to beat up someone. I thought with pain. I could've taken on Sakura, Ino and Temari. But with Sasuke and Naruto there, I was doomed.

Besides I was thinking about the Calculus exam, Neji, the test I had in English Literacy and Neji... I think of Neji to much huh? I think I have a problem. I was beginning to obsesses over him just like Bella did to Edward!... So I read Twilight and what? It's an awesome book and Hinata got me hooked on it...

I sighed as they knocked on the door again, I heard muttering, then some giggling (In which I automatically though of Naruto, the dobe was bound to do something like that), then I heard Hinata's muffled voice.

"Ten-chan?" I heard Sakura tell her that I didn't like being called that. Moron, just goes to show how much they know me.

"Hina-chan?" I responded. I heard Ino and Sakura complain about something but I only focused on what Hinata had to say.

"Let me in Tennie-chan. I want to see how you're doing." I sucked in a breath and bit my lip. I knew they were -somewhat- using her but...

I sighed and stood up once more, groaning as I put an arm over my stomach. I stiffly walked over to the door, hesitating as I unlocked it and opened it. Hinata barged in, slamming the door shut and locking it securely.

I heard Naruto and the rest of the gang scream out in anger.

"Hey Hinata! What the hell?!"

"Hinata! OPEN THE DOOR!" Ino and Sakura screamed out.

"Hn. Told you."

"HINATA-CHAN! OPEN THE DOOR! TENTEN!"

I stared at Hinata as she let out a sigh of relief. She leaned on the door and ran a hand over her forehead, wiping the sweat that had collected over it.

Hinata looked at Tenten and gasped, her eye's becoming watery. "O-Oh my God! Tenten!" I sighed.

"Do I really look that bad?" Hinata simply stared.

"I... thought you would look worse but this is better!" I blinked as she latched onto me, whimpering and apologizing over and over again. I giggled, she had a weird way of putting her words together.

"It's okay Hina-chan. You warned me and I was being ignorant." I said modestly. Hinata smiled at me and sat me on the couch softly.

"Neji-nii should be here soon..." I froze.

"W-What!?" I gasped out, my voice a notch higher. Hinata blinked and then narrowed her eyes.

"Is there something wrong...?" I shook my head fiercely, after feeling immensely dizzy from the motion. A blush started rising onto my cheeks as I recalled what Neji and me had... done. I think Hinata saw it because she suddenly smiled slyly.

"Is there something you would like to... confine with me." I felt my blush rise. "Ten-chan?" I bit my lip and images of the kiss we shared in his bedroom popped into my minds eyes again. Damn, why does Hinata look so... bad? And why did the word 'confine' sound so... naughty?

"N-No."

"Tenten." I sighed and told her. What choice did I have left? I mean, I could've kept stalling but then that would make her even more curious and besides...

... Hinata's scary when she doesn't get what she want.

"Oh. My God." Hinata whispered, her eyes -literally- shining. She giggled and clapped her hands together, standing up while doing so.

"Oh wow! Tenten! Yes!" Hinata yelled in her usual soft voice. I furrowed my eyebrow's and tilted my head.

"Huh?" Hinata glanced at me.

"Don't you see?! Neji-nii has found someone..." I blinked. Excuse me?. "How wonderful!" I kept my confused expression until Hinata noticed, when she did, she simply smiled. But there was something about her eyes... they were—secretive. As if they knew something I didn't.

Which I was ninety-nine point nine percent sure they were.

-xxx-

Couple Of Hours Later...

I sighed, me and Hinata had been here for five hours. She had said that Neji was going to be here soon but... he hasn't even come yet.

I sighed as Hinata shuffled the deck of cards on her hand, she was about to set them up when she abruptly looked up at the clock and gasped.

"Oh my! I'm late!" Hinata stood up and ran towards the door, an apologetic look on her face. "I'm sorry Tenten! But I have to go! I'll back before you know it!" With that she left. It all happened so fast that it took me five minutes to comprehend what she had said.

"Oh geez. Hinata's as forgetful as ever." I muttered as I stood up, wanting to go and get myself a coffee or something, maybe a donut. I stopped and and groaned, if my mother was here, she would say that that beating up didn't hurt me but make me pregnant. I snickered, my mother always had this obession with babies. Any kind of sickness I got, her first response would be that I got pregnant and that she was so proud.

... Of course I always blew her bubble when I said I'm not.

Knock Knock

I blinked, I was sure famous these days. I walked over to the door and froze. Them. I narrowed my eyes, no way I was going to let them in.

"Who is it?"

"Neji." I sighed in relief then blushed. Shit. It was Neji! I was appalled by the sudden thoughts that plagued my mind. Ooh, I was fucked. Big time.

"Hello Neji." I said as I let him in. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck... Was all I had going though my mind. Dang, I became really dirty minded—in both ways.

"Hn. Feeling better?" I nodded and stiffly made my way back. It still hurt but not as much as it hurt when I woke up and started to walk around. Now it hurt less, which was a good thing on my part.

"Tenten." I turned from my seat on the couch and gasped. Neji. Hyuga. Was. Up. In. My. Face.

I think I had a brain hemorrhage right then and there.

"U-Uh..." I stared at him. Into his intense, pearl white, eyes. I swear I lost myself in them as cliché as that sounds.

"Tenten." He got closer to me and I could hear my heart beating in my ears as he neared me. "Are you sure you're okay? You're face is hot." Neji placed his lips over her forehead as her eye twitched.

What the hell?! Was he going to kiss me or is he really that dense?! I thought as Neji leaned back and walked over to my kitchen. I looked down and clutched my rapidly beating heart. I swear! How could someone be that dense!? Neji Hyuga non the less!

I had, finally, accepted the fact that I loved him. And he comes by, looks at me like he's going to kiss me and turns out to be the opposite.

My excuse? He's dense. I mean, come on! How could I have a fever everyday!? God, I always knew that Neji was a bit—slow in this topic but... I looked over to where Neji was and saw him soaking a towel, surely to put over my forehead. Oh forget it! Slow is an understatement!

"Here." Neji said as he gave her the towel. Tenten smiled and grabbed it putting it on her head.

Hmm, maybe I could tease him.. or maybe I could—no! That's stupid! But... I bit my lip as I stared at Neji. He had always been dense as crazy as that sounded. I mean, he would always act like an air-head when he was put in these kinds of situations. I don't know is he's pretending or lying. But I'm gonna find out soon enough!

Tenten sat near him and smiled, the most flirtatious smile she could muster, Neji blinked. "Nejiii..." She said making the 'i' in his name long. Neji raised a fine eyebrow.

"Tenten?" Oh please could he really be this dense?! I thought as Neji stared at me with confused eyes. I got nearer to him, so close that my lips were hovering above his.

"Neji..." I saw his eye's go wide and he backed up more, so much that his back hit the arm rest of the couch. That only made me follow him, giving him the best dazed and lustful look I had.

"What's wrong Neji-kun?" I saw a flicker of emotion pass though his eyes and I almost questioned it, but luckily I caught myself.

"Nothing... but..." Neji furrowed his perfectly shaped eyebrow before shaking his head once.

I decided to go in for the kill. Why? Because I lacked patience, and that, now I know, will be the death of me. I grinned cat-ishly and neared him, purposely making my shirt fall a bit so that is showed my cleavage. I saw Neji's eye's flicker downward and stay there a moment before flickering back up, "N-e-j-i" I said, exaggeratedly pronouncing each syllable of his name.

"Ten... ten?" I got nearer until I was right up into his face once more. I squeezed my arms to the side's of my breasts, making them bulge out. Neji's eye's stayed glued there.

Got him right where I want him...

Neji smirked as I blinked repeatedly. Why is he smirking?! Surely he couldn't have... no! No way! Oh God... I thought as my face paled. I looked at him, his eyes were amused and his face held a heavy smirk.

"Very interesting. I never took you to be flirtatious... Ten-chan." I felt the blood rush to my face as he at across from me, his eyes fixated on my own.

H-He tricked me! But h-how! What the hecks going on...!? I thought as he chuckled lightly at my flabbergasted expression. He neared me, his mouth hovering above my own now.

Damn, he tricked me that sneaky bastard...

"Did you really I was that dense?" I parted my lips slightly. "Tenten?" And with that he planted his lips on my own, slanting his head so he could get better access to my mouth. Then abruptly he backed up, running the tip of his tongue over his upper lip.

"Hmm." He mused as he stared at my perplexed expression. "Tell me, did you really think I didn't notice the first time I got near you that you expected a kiss?" I blushed heavily. He was teasing me! Argh! Damn him, I have never been this embarrassed in my life! I WANT TO DIE!

"Hyuga..." I said lowly as he stared at me; a small, happy smile on his lips.

"Hn. Fine, but I won't let you live it down." I glared at him as he looked up at the clock then at me. He scooted so that he as near me and tried to grab my cheek, but I twisted my head to the side.

I heard him sigh, "Fine. Forgive me?" I puffed my cheeks out. Did he really think I would forgive him!? I turned to yell at him, only to see his eyes stare into mine. He looked genuinely guilty and I knew well enough is wasn't true... but...

I huffed and grumbled out a, "Fine."

He smirked and grabbed the underside of my chin, lifting my head up so that it reached his mouth.

You know? This really taught me something... Never underestimate Neji Hyuga, because if you do.

You would surely regret it.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss even more. I laughed though the kiss as he fell back, me being on top of him with his arms wrapped around my waist. I suppressed a moan as Neji's tongue pressed against my own.

Heh, but this is, oh this is something I defiantly will not, shall not and do not regret.

Graduation Day...

I grinned as I threw my hat up in the air, I finally graduated! I laughed along with my new friends. Yep, the whole Popular table. And now I finally graduated High School! Yes! No more school until I got to college in a couple of months! And now, the whole Popular table hangs out with me!

We, well I, eventually began to trust them. Sure, at the beginning, I was always wary of them and we got into a lot of fights but eventually, we got over it and became friends.

Ino and Sakura were the easiest to become friends with because they weren't naturally hostile. They were actually the one's who were the most eager to become my friend. So, I let them off the hook (they did beat me up).

As for Kiba and Sasuke, well, I befriended Sasuke... more or less. At least he didn't glare at me or sneer at me when I said 'hi' or something to him. But Kiba... let's just say I really hurt his pride when I denied him access to take me on a date. But, then again, I heard from Hinata that Neji had threatened him not to ask me out or try to tutor me.

It was either he had a death wish or he really liked me, in the end, he got no girl and Neji got back at him by blackmailing him. Wow. Note to self: Do not anger boyfriend (Neji).

Shikamaru and Temari were easy to befriend though, Temari did apologize for punching me in the nose and I did forgive her since she didn't beg for my forgiveness, she took it like the tough woman she is. Shikamaru, on the other hand, already knew that what they were assuming wasn't true and he did tell them... but they didn't listen to him.

I asked what Neji did when he saw me all beaten up and the answer I got disturbed me. Shikamaru's face got all dark and he smirked, a sadistic gleam in his eye, he just said. "You'd rather not know."

And that was enough to went my panties—figuratively of course.

"Tenten-chan! Wait up for us okay? We have to go pick up the pictures!" I nodded at Sakura as she sprinted towards the table, a ticket in her hand. She ran across the large field and from the other side I could see Ino and Shikamaru. Uh-oh, I hope they're not getting intimate right now. I turned to the side and saw Temari and Kiba, both laughing and talking. At least Kiba has a shot with Temari.

I felt arms embrace me from behind and I had a vague idea of who it was. "Neji." I said with a hint of playfulness. He nuzzled my neck and I felt the smirk on his face, something was wrong...

"Neji?" I said, all playfulness gone.

Neji let go of me and turned me around, I stared into his stern eyes, my stomach dropping to the ground. "N-Neji?" I furrowed my brows.

He cracked a smile and I felt my eye twitch, "Don't do that, bastard!" I yelled as he smiled, his eye's clearly amused.

"Hn. Sorry, but the offer was to tempting to deny, I hope you don't mind." I furrowed my eyebrow's as he handed me a letter. It looked like an invitation to a wedding...I opened it and gasped as I fingered the gold embroidery. I slowly opened it and admired the delicate art work, then decided to read it.

Congratulations! You are invited to spend the evening with the Hyuga Family to commemorate the gathering of all family member's. We hope that you could come and stay for this honorable week.

Time: 9:00 PM

Place: Hyuga Manor

Days: 7 (1 week)

Clothes: Formal, exception of Hyuga Neji and fiancée.

That caught my attention. Fiancée?! What the hell!? Neji had a fiancée and he never told me about her?! Wait til I get my hands on her! No one messes with my man!I'm gonna make her run for her money because Neji Hyuga is mine. And mine only.

"Neji!?" I yelled, hysteric. "What the hell!? Since when did... you... have a... fiancée..." I stopped as I stared at his arrogant smirk. He turned his heel and gracefully walked on over to the punch bowl... which was located all the way on the other side of the football field.

"Feel free to think it out." He said evenly as he crossed the field full of graduates. With his hands in his slacks, I could imagine the cocky smirk when he said the next word, "Wife."

I stared after him, my mouth wide open and my eyes just as wide. Ino ran back to me, in her hands our class photo. "Hey Tenten—whoa, you alright?" I was completely oblivious to her as she took the card and grinned like a cat.

"Oh, so you finally experienced Hyuga proposals huh?" I turned to her, the corner of my lips twitching, "Yeah, I know, it's freaky how they propose... But wow! You're gonna be a Hyuga Tenten-chan."

"You knew!?" My voice hysterical. Ino giggled and nodded, her eyes gleaming with amusement. She put her hands on her hips and threw her hair over her shoulder dramatically, a smirk on her face to add effect.

"Oh yeah! That's how all Hyuga's propose. Didn't you know? I thought I told you..." I glared at her and fisted my hands, my nails digging into my skin. I felt a blush rise on my cheek's as Ino looked at me in an innocent way, though, behind that you could see the mischievousness and amusement.

Oh yes, she was going down. Along with the rest who knew and said nothing.

But I can't lie that I'm not euphoric at the moment. I'm going to be Tenten Hyuga. Now that's what I'm talking about! I like the ring it has to it... but right now, I have friends to beat.

What an ironic sentence, no?

"Um,Tenten, you're not—you're not going to hurt me--us. Are you?"

"Oh yeah, run Ino."

"Shit..."

And that was the start the start of a happy, non-violent relationship with the Populars. Which, in other words, were my best friends in the whole live world and I would do nothing at all to hurt them! Why? Because they're my friends... heh, but that small sentence will become true tomorrow.

"KYAA! RUN! TENTEN'S GONE INSANE!"

"INO! ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD!"

"KYAA! TENTEN-CHAN! DON'T KILL ME, SAKURA, YOU FRIEND REMEMBER!? KYAAA! NO, NOT THE--"

-Insert sound of dangerous weed eater here-

"HAHAHA! So the Hyuga proposed? Oh shit! UWAAA! No! T-Tenten! No, not the jacket! It's one-hundred percent leather-- NOOO!"

"HAHAHAHA! NEJI PROPOSED USING A CARD!? HOW STUPI-- OWWW! DAMMIT, HINATA-CHAN! NEJI HURT ME!"

"So... She found out eh?"

"Troublesome, yeah Uchiha. I wonder, how will she take the news when she has to get pregnant exactly two days after the wedding."

The two men looked at Tenten as she massacred the whole gang. Ino and Sakura were running around screaming as she swung the weed eater at them. Kiba lay on the ground, coughing and laughing painfully at the same time, his leather jacket completely shredded. Naruto was stumbling all over the place, Neji's punch-mark over his cheek. Temari was no where to be seen for she fled before-hand; smart girl she is. Neji, on the other hand, watched Tenten half-kill all of his friends, amusement and approval in his eyes.

"Hmm, I should arrange a hospital for seven no?-- Oh shit Nara look out--"

"Troublesome ye—OWW! DAMMIT TENTEN THAT HURT!"

The End...?
