In the forest where birds and bugs sang together was a lone shinobi sitting on the swaying grass. The serenity around him was almost breathtaking, as he had never felt such peace ever before. His eyes were closed, and he focused on counting every living organism around him without using his bloodline limit. He sighed, momentarily placing a hand on the ground.
SPLASH!

"Uh oh…" Tenten winced, drawing back from the half-naked man in front of her, his chest glistening from the water. She nervously laughed," That was fun, wasn't it?"
He shook his head no, mad white eyes boring into her scared chocolate ones. Tenten thought she should run like heck right now or suffer the painful consequences.
"It was a joke, Neji! Be more cheerful, why don't cha? Have some fun!" she tried to persuade him, making wild gesticulations around her. He didn't say anything, and stepped forward. Tenten panicked.
"Okay, okay, okay, it wasn't fun, but isn't it at least funny?" Tenten said desperately, knowing her life and—as much as she hated the word—fate, would be up to the shinobi who was currently giving off the 'This-is-your-last-day' aura. She saw faint veins on the sides of his head.
"At least don't kill me," she pathetically begged. He smirked.
"That will be the least of your worries," Neji neared her. Tenten racked in her head for something to stall him with. That sadistic smile on his face was creeping her out.
"Hey, it was Lee's idea!" she blurted out.
"DO NOT BRING ME INTO THIS, BLOSSOM OF KONOHA! ROCK LEE HAS DONE NOTHING!" yelled out a voice from above the trees. Neji cocked a brow.
"Really now? He was behind this?"
Tenten nodded quickly, knowing the hope inside of her to live longer will disappear if her teammate stepped any closer," Yes! IT'S LEE'S FAULT!"
The smile waned," And you…followed him?"
The way Neji said that literally made Tenten shiver.
"I…guess?"
Neji's lips were now a grim line on his face," Setting up chakra lines to where I will move that would trigger water to fall on me was all Lee's idea? Frankly, Tenten, I thought you knew better than to interrupt my morning."
Tenten gaped. She had a reason for making those traps! He can't just conclude that she was so stupid that she didn't know about the way he spends his mornings! All he ever does is meditate, for Pete's sake!
"You looked like a stone! What was I supposed to do? Take a bucket and drown you?" she quickly snapped. Then, she thought about what she just said.
"Maybe I should have taken a bucket—"
Neji's hard look shut her up.
"What you did was neither fun nor 'funny'. You have harassed an important member of the most powerful clan in Konoha," he pointed out," There are no excuses."
She blinked, taking in all Neji said. Nuh uh. Did he just—?
Tenten, who was so frightened of him earlier, is now pissed. She angrily exhaled.
"Are you—Are you trying to imply something, Mr. 'I'm-So-Hot-And-You're-So-Not'?" she seethed quietly," Just because I don't have a bloodline limit,"
She stomped towards him.
"Just because I didn't come from a clan," she took another step towards him.
"Just because I harmlessly interrupted your morning, DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE ALLOWED."
"TO."
" SHOVE."
" YOUR."
" PRIDE."
" IN MY FACE!" Tenten yelled upfront. She poked his hard chest with every word.
"And I so did not 'harass' a 'member of the most powerful clan in Konoha'," she mocked, trying hard to mimic his deep voice," I POURED WATER ON THE GUY!"
She crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. It wasn't her fault that he fell for that Genin-level trap. Besides, it seemed to her earlier that morning that he didn't want to meditate.
Suddenly, something liquid and icy cold drenched her. Tenten gasped, looking at herself. Her hair and clothes dripped with freezing water. The feeling of the chill temporarily dumbfounded her. Wide-eyed, she glanced up to see a smirking Neji.
With a bucket.
She growled, knowing Lee somehow handed him the bucket while she was yelling her head off.
"I'm wearing white, Neji!" Tenten screamed. His smirk stayed where it was.
"Hn."
Tenten bit her lip, restricting herself from saying a long sentence filled with obscenities when he very much earned it. Her lip twitched as she walked to the nearby stream that was twenty feet away.
She was furious.
"It's on now."

Eh, I don't want to get into detailed paragraphs. This is merely for my own amusement. Forgive me if Tenten is a bit OOC and the fact that this chapter is short..
Twoshot. Gotta love 'em.
