Romantic stories aren't what they used to be

This is a one-shot I am still working on Your Guardian Angel but that does not mean I can't take requests so this is a Tenten x Neji love story I love both characters especially Neji if you know what I mean *wink* *wink* lol anyways hope you enjoy. Please review in means a lot.

This tiny little story takes place in a time where king, princesses and slaves existed in Japan. Now let's focus on the people that are what makes the romance happen I will start by describing a young man with long coffee brown hair and eyes that seem as if you where staring at the moon itself. Well that's what they say this young man was known by many anyone who bothered to know who was important knew him. He was well known to the point that people could describe him and his fabulous qualities without so much as ever having a glimpse of his handsome face. Many women adored him but don't get me wrong the main reason he was well known was not because his ability to make a girls knees go weak or his amazing skill in battle that many envied no his recognition was given or rather demanded by his position. You see this amazingly handsome, young, strong man was actually a prince. Now if those out there wondering if prince charming was taken well all of you are in luck cuz he's single. I bet I shocked a bunch of girls out there and no it's no joke our beloved prince is single. See the prince has no plans of getting married anytime soon. The reason is because our beloved prince believes in a thing called the right one…

Clash – Swish – Clash – Clash – Clash – Swish

"Ok-ok I yield. Your good Neji" said a man with dark brown short hair he was currently on his knees after being brought down by Neji's sword.

"You would be too Kankuro if you practiced instead of playing with dolls" the prince said as he offered a hand to his spar partner

"I will have you know that it takes talent to lead a theater play"

"Right" (note the sarcasm) The two made their way towards the castle while they discussed what they should do for the tournament that is coming up. As they entered the palace from the way the sun was barely making its entrance it was safe to assume that it was only morning as the two young men made their way towards the great hall for breakfast…

"So…" the older of the two spoke. The young prince gave a small nod indicating that he was listening and for "have you decided yet?" the prince gave him a quizzical look towards his question a look saying What-the-hell-are-you-talking-about. "You know what I mean have you picked your future wife yet?"

"No" short and straight to the point answer, no surprise there.

"Oh I get it, I never thought you to be like that."

"What are you babbling about Kankuro"

"Oh come on you know what I mean" he said wiggling hi eyebrows suggestively. Which received him a bonk on the head

"Idiot"

The young prince had decided to practice with his bow and arrow for the upcoming tournament his skill with a sword didn't need any work his taijutsu much less the one area he seemed to have trouble with was the part of the competition that dealt with targeting objects. Don't get me wrong the prince has amazing aim it's the moving objects that get him a little off enough to piss off our prince. In a different part of town a girl with brown hair and brown eyes.

"Ten Ten!"

"Shoot" The brown haired girl had turned around in haste. Since her master was calling her. How can that be u ask well I'll tell you it all started on the day her mother passed away her father had become sick therefore there was no money to pay for food much less for rent. That was when they met the Haruno's they had promised to pay for her father's medical and living expenses in exchange for Ten Ten to work for them 24/7.

The young girl entered the dining hall were a middle-aged woman sat at the head of the table with her daughter at her right. The woman was well known for her long blond as for her deceased husband well he had been known for his disregard for anyone but himself. The only good attributes from him came from his blond head and emerald eyes. Which brings me to Haruno, Sakura daughter of the two Harunos known by many because of her unique pink hair and emerald eyes.

Shall we continue were where we Oh! that's right the two witches from the depths of hell were currently complaining about the butter not being made.

"Why has the butter not been brought to us explain yourself!" Ten Ten took a deep breath in trying to control her temper.

Didn't she say yesterday that we were no longer allowed to bring food that would make her gain weight?

"Well you madam yesterday you specifically told us to not allow any fatty foods within the premises of this household."

"How dare you speak to my mother this way you insolent little leech." Ah so the pink haired witch speaks.

"I did not mean to offend I was simply-." Tenten tried to explain only to be cut off by the elderly woman.

"Enough just bring what I asked."

"Very well" So much for their so called diet.

The day went by like most days leaving Tenten completely exhausted. By the time she reached her home it had become quite late. She took one whiff of herself and decided it would be best to take a small bed luckily they owned a small lake behind their house deciding to take one of the horses to give it some fresh air she made her way to the lake…

Somewhere else the prince had managed to make a rope out of the tapestries and had escaped through the window with the goal in mind to escape his duties for a few days. It was a bit difficult to get around on foot that was when he had stumbled upon a lake and thanks to his luck there was a horse. Yet he had failed to notice that there was a young woman currently swimming. Putting the hood over his head he managed to sneak behind the horse. When his instincts told him to dodge. He moved to the side with his hood still intact now facing his assailant. But before he could utter his apologize and explain his actions another stone was immediately thrown at him.

"You thief how dare you!"

"Please madam I was only-."

"How dare you try to steal from my father." She had kept throwing rocks at him and he had edged closer to the lake in an attempt to get away from her she took the opportunity to throw him on the lake while he had grabbed her wrist in order to maintain his balance. Luckily she was too lazy to change so she still had on her maids dress. When they both crashed into the water, were she unfortunately (sure tenten author rolls her eyes. What is that supposed to mean. Oh nothing  she only huffed in response) fell on the young prince who had water dripping down from his hair all the way down his shirt and…(perverts j/k). The moment their eyes meet she couldn't help but want to get closer to see if this was only a dream. He looked so handsome. While he in turn had forgotten why he was laying on the edge of the lake with a girl, with big beautiful brown eyes and long brown hair that seemed to reach her hips with pink plump lips.

"What's your name." the moment he had uttered those words from his lips she had felt a jolt go through her spine. Effectively snapping her out of trance making her jump three feet away like if he had the plague. Then her eyes landed on the seal that had been covered by his cloak previously. He had been shocked by her sudden change in mood seeing as she immediately knelt before him begging for forgiveness.

"I apologize your highness I did not see you!" The response only made him smirk.

"I wasn't aware that a blind person could call someone a thief and land them in the lake." She had nothing to say to that she bit her lip trying to control her temper but it was a losing battle.

"I didn't know you were mute also." He had seen her twitch the moment he had started to insult her he tried to ignore that small part in the back of his mind that said he was secretly hoping that the little lake incident would occur again.

She had had enough she stood up slowly "Interesting because I wasn't aware that someone could be arrogant and a jerk at the same time. But wouldn't you know its standing right in front of me in a S-M-A-L-L package."

He wasn't sure which part pissed him of more the fact that she called him arrogant, a jerk, small or that she manage to insult him in only two sentences.

Shit did I just say that to the prince someone who could have me killed or worse tortured this is not my day.

"I see peasants have become more suicidal these days." Oh how she just wanted to wipe that smug smirk of his face.

"I see royalty grows a bigger pole up their ass every generation." She cringed she could not believe she had just stuck her foot in her mouth twice today oh kami why.

Ok now he looks pissed oh crap good-bye daddy, good-bye horse, good-bye haruno's actually forget the Haruno's my life is doomed I can't believe- wait is he laughing holy shit I think I broke him hes laughing for peats sake.

"um are you ok-"

Just then she was cut off by the…
