NejiTen Oneshots And Drabbles

The Game Of Love

There you see her

Sitting across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her

And you don't know why

But you're dying to try

You want to kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her you know you do
Possible that she wants you, too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word

Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

-Kiss the Girl, The Little Mermaid OST

Neji was grateful for the quiet place in the restaurant he was sitting in.

Okay, so not exactly quiet, as the other genins and Shikamaru were seated at the other end, which can still get pretty noisy, but at least he had a nice, secluded spot he could call his own.

He knew whoever suggested this 'reunion' was a total moron, but it was a fine break from all the missions they were frequently being sent to.

A particularly loud roar from the genins made Neji smirk, wondering how the other 'cool and stoic' boys were reacting to Naruto and Lee's racket, specifically Sasuke and Shino, or maybe even Shikamaru, who found all things troublesome.

He opened the page of his book. It was some sort of pocketbook that he found lying around the Hyuuga mansion whose title he didn't even bother reading. Was he getting as lazy as Shikamaru? Anyway, deciding that he had nothing else better to do, he gave it a shot.

He sipped from his drink and enjoyed a good few minutes of silence before he heard the sound of the genins laugh again. What could they be talking about that absolutely required them to make so much noise?

He shook his head, knowing he wouldn't really want to find out.

It took him a few more moments to realize he was actually reading an old issue of Icha Icha Paradise. How the hell did the Hyuugas get their hands on one of these… things?

He let go of it in disgust. Neji was not the kind of guy who spends his time reading romance (is that all it is?) novels and swooning over girls. It's not obvious, isn't it?

Neji glared at the discarded book, breathing deeply as he looked at the cover. His face contorted in repulsion. Okay, reasonable explanations please…

Kakashi-sensei must have gone over at the manor and left it there. Yes, let's stick with that.

Okay, moving on…

"Neji!"

A voice rang oh so audibly in his ears, startling him enough to spill his drink. He was shocked at his actions, white eyes widening at how he could have sunk so low as to spill his drink.

"Gosh, you're getting clumsy, Neji. Waiter, please wipe this up!" The voice continued. One of Neji's big eyes began to twitch in annoyance. The owner of the voice sat down in front of him, exposing herself as the brown-haired kunoichi with two buns stuck on either side of her head who happened to be his team mate.
