Poor Tenten Chapter 4: Confession

"Transformation!" Naruto poofed and turned into the one and only, well, actually now there's two so nevermind, Hyuuga Neji.

"What the?" Neji stammered. "Shikamaru, what's he gonna do?"

"He'll take the fangirls while you go to Tenten and Lee," Shikamaru started, then he turned towards Sakura. "Oh yeah, and you have a date Friday,"

Ino started laughing while Sakura started beating up Shika. "So-or-ry! Shikamaru screamed while being choked. "He cough wouldn't… go choke unless… you agreed… to a cough choke wheeze date!"

"Alright," Neji stood up, wiped away any trace of tears, and slowly walked back towards Tenten.

"Ok Neji," Tenten was more calm now that she had had time by herself. "What do you need to tell me,"

Neji was obviously nervous. He had sweat dripping everywhere.

"No!" Ino quietly yelled. "Ne-ji! Go! Tell her!"

Neji clunched fists together and took a deep breath. "Tenten, I…" He paused. "What should I do? What should I do?" He thought. "I cannot tell her. It's impossible," He took another deep breath. "Tenten, you're my teammate, and I want you to be happy. Obviously, you're happy with," He sniffled. "…Lee, so I want you to stay with him," A few tears dropped to the ground.

"Neji, It's just…" Tenten saw him walking away, all sad and depressed. She was sure he didn't feel that way. She was sure he liked her, it was pretty obvious. But, maybe, he really did mean it this time…

Neji walked through everyone yelling at him, saying things like, "Why'd you do that?" or "Don't you get what we just told you!" He even walked past the fangirls killing "Neji" without care. They were too busy killing "Neji" to look.

"Ok, I think we've got enough of Neji to keep," The fangirls left, leaving the Neji look-alike on the ground.

"Neji?" Tenten came through the bushes, and seeing "Neji" on the ground. "Neji!" She ran over to him and picked him up. "Neji, I need to tell you something,"

Naruto tried to explain he wasn't Neji or turn back into Naruto, but Tenten wouldn't give him the chance. She put her pointer-finger up to his lips.

"I know you like me," Tenten explained. "And I want you to know that I like you too, a lot," Tenten never even looked at his eyes. She thrusted forward to kiss him, and Naruto didn't even get a chance to defend himself. His eyes were wide open, but it was his first kiss (with a girl) so he couldn't stop himself.

"…" Tenten stopped and looked in his eyes. Suddenly she gasped. "You're not Neji!" She scremed, seeing a blue-ish tint in the normal light-purple. "Who are you?"

Naruto poofed back into himself, and tried to explain to Tenten. "So you're the girl…" Naruto looked up and around her. "Neji really likes you, a lot, and he wants you to be happy,"

Tenten had a hard time paying attention, seeing as how she had just kissed Naruto instead of Neji. She was red with anger and embarrassment!

"And I'm sorry for your, uh, inconvience," Naruto stated, "But Neji needed my help to try and tell you something important,"

Tenten's eyes opened wider as she realized what to do. She glared at the sky and started running.

"Tenten, wait!" Naruto reached up, but he was too late. "Gawd, she's a good kisser," He thought after she left.

(Tenten)

Tenten was racing through the trees, finding her way to where ever Neji might be. "He can't be at his house," Tenten thought. "We were just over there, so where could he be…"

(Neji)

Now Tenten was right, but Neji went to the place she'd least expect, HER house. He snuck in through the window of her bedroom, sat on the floor, and started to cry a little.

"Tenten?" He heard a voice from outside her room. "Are you home? I didn't see you come in," Neji could hear footsteps heading towards Tenten's bedroom door.

"Tenten's mother…" Neji thought. "I can't let her see me, but I must see her!" No one, including Neji, had ever seen or heard of Tenten's family before. She never mentioned them, she never even had a flashback! Neji hid under Tenten's bed and quietly shouted "Byakugan!"

"Tenten?" Her mother opened the door, and Neji saw what he least expected. This woman looked nothing like Tenten. She had blonde hair, green eyes, a different nose, head and mouth shape! It was like she wasn't even really her mother…

"Gasp!" Neji covered his mouth with his hands. "Oh crap!" He thought. "Please don't find me!" Neji saw the mother looking straight towards where Neji was, but she said nothing.

"Hn," She turned away. "Must've just been the wind," She started to leave the room. "Or rats…" She completed her sentence under her breath, glaring back towards where Neji was, but then closed the door.

"Phew," Neji checked with Byakugan to make sure she really wasn't coming back too soon, then got out from under Tenten's pink-sheeted bed. He noticed a book by her dresser. "Huh, what's this?" The Hyuuga grabbed the book and quickly read the cover. "Diary… Ah!" He dropped the book. "I can't invade Tenten's personal writings to herself. That would be dishonest."

Right then and there, you'd think a little Angel-Neji and a little Devil-Neji would've appeared on his shoulders, but instead, it was an Angel-Lee and a Devil-Gai.

"C'mon, read it!" Devil-Gai pushed him to it. "Don't you wanna know all her secrets?"

"No, do not read it," Angel-Lee pulled him back. "That would be dishonest, and you will feel the guilt for the rest of your life,"

"Oh stop being such a priss!" Devil pointed to Angel. "That would be dishonest!" He mocked. "Oh who gives a crap?"

"You know," Angel said to Neji, "He's got a good point," Angel-Lee ripped off his robe and a red skin-tight suit with a horned tail took it's place. "READ IT!"

The two Devils chanted, "READ IT! READ IT! READ IT!" For about 10 minutes, when Neji finally flicked 'em off his shoulder and stomped on their tiny, annoying bodies. "Gawd! Fine! I'll read SOME of it!" He opened the book, unsure about his decision, but sticking to it. "Dear Diary, today Lee overdid it again… blah blah… Gai Sensei almost died while Neji was sick… blah blah… Neji looked so hot… blah, WAIT!" He turned back to that page.

Dear Diary, 4/13/06

Neji was fighting Lee today and Lee accidentally ripped his shirt off! I thought I was gonna die Neji looked so hot with his shirt off! Omigawd! I practically melted, and I think Gai Sensei noticed that I was staring at Neji instead of my kunai.

Oh crap, here comes Ash-lee and Court-nee! If they find out I'm still awake, they'll just tattle to Ju-lee and George! Man, I wish I had never gotten adopted!"

With as much love as a girl can give a book,

Tenten

Neji read the first part over and over again, but he still couldn't believe it! "Tenten.. thinks I'm…" He read the word again, "..hot?" At this point he started reading every page in the book that had the word Neji in it.

(Tenten)

Tenten was searching all over Konoha, she even went back to Neji's house, but she didn't see him anywhere, so she just headed home.

Her front door opened. "Tenten? Is that you?" Ju-lee called to her.

"Yeah Ju-lee, it's me," Tenten walked inside and slouched into a chair.

"What's wrong honey?" Ju-lee asked her adopted daughter while cooking. "Had a rough day?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Tenten thought about how she had searched everywhere, but suddenly realized the one place she hadn't looked. "Actually, it is something…"

'Would you like to talk about it?" Ju-lee asked her.

"No thanks, I've got it covered," Tenten didn't think Neji knew where her house was, but she could be wrong. She went outside and circled around the house, just in case Neji stayed outside. Then she noticed her window wasn't closed, so she took a peak inside. And who else does she see but Hyuuga Neji, but what he was doing is what surprised her.

Neji was paging through HER diary! HERS! Tenten's eyes lit up with fury as she got ready to burst inside.

"I can't believe she really likes me," Neji put down the book. "And all these years I've been afraid…" Neji put his arms around his knees, and started to think about all the times he almost told Tenten the truth.

"Afraid?" Tenten thought to herself, "Of what?" She thought about it for a second, then it stuck in her head. "He didn't want to be rejected, like he was from the main family…" She finally got it. She quietly hopped into her bedroom without Neji hearing, silently closed her window (bugs and stuff might get in), and got right behind him.

Neji thought he felt someone breathing on the back of his neck, but figured it was just the wind from that open window, until he realized, it wasn't open anymore. "Since when was that window closed…" But he couldn't say much before he was interrupted.

"I like you, too," Tenten's voice made his eyes widen. Neji turned around, and he was face-to-face with the girl of his dreams. Tenten reached out to kiss him and he did the same.

As they were sharing their first kiss, they noticed a figure standing in the doorway.

"Awww!" Ju-lee was holding her hands up to her face. "Tenten's got her first boyfriend!" Tenten's face turned red as her step-mom started running down the streets of Konoha yelling, "HEY EVERYBODY! TENTEN'S GOT A BOYFRIEND!!"

Suddenly, Tenten's room was filled with people, big and small, watching the two next to each other. They both turned red with stress marks appearing on their foreheads.

"C'mon Tenten," Tenten's step-sister Ash-lee said.

"Yeah, let's see you kiss your boyfriend!" Court-nee finished.

Neji knew they wouldn't leave unless they were satisfied. Tenten was about to kill them all but Neji grabbed her arm and pulled her in.

"Awwwww…" Just about everybody in Konoha (exept Lee) was sighing.

"Wait to go Neji!" Everyone thought Naruto screamed from the crowd.

"Woo!! Nice pick! Woo!! Can I get a piece of that!? Woo!!" Came from, well, Shino. "Woo!!" He figured that Neji and Tenten kissing was more interesting then him having an outburst. "ALRIGHT!" He even pulled off his glasses for a minute, and nobody even looked except Akamaru but oh well.

"Lucky Tenten!" All the girls screamed. "I envy you!"

Tenten just sat there, still kissing Neji, both still red with embarassment. They stopped kissing and after a couple more "Woo!"'s, "Awwww…"'s, and "NOO!!! He/She should have been mine!!!"'s, everyone left, leaving Neji and Tenten by themselves.

"Well," Tenten leaned her head onto his shoulder. "This has been an interesting night,"

"Yeah," Neji looked down at her, smiling. "But I must tell you, I-I… read your diary," He turned his head away quickly, expecting a gasp and a slap, but no.

"I know," Tenten answered. "It's ok. If we like each other enough, I should be able to trust you with my secrets, and you should be able to trust me with yours," She smiled and looked up at Neji. "Just don't tell anyone anything you read in there, ok?"

"I wouldn't, ever," Neji smiled and kissed her gently on the cheek. "And from now on, we're going to be together…"

(It's not over yet!)

Ok, now that all the mushy, not-funny stuff is done, don't you wonder what happened to poor Lee? Still wounded and lying on the ground outside Neji's house? Well, some animal came by and dug a big hole, then buried everything but his head into it. That's when Lee finally woke up.

"Huh?" He looked at his situation. "Ahh! Somebody help! Gai Sensei?! Please! Somebody!? I have a date with Tenten!"

End Story

Thanks for reading everyone! And always remember, NEJITEN RULES!!!

Lee is so much fun to make fun of.

EEEE!!! (P.S. I'm like a total NejiTen fangirl here)
