1. Neji's elaborate plan

Yaay, it's finally here! Who's happy?

***

"Unfortunately, our final contestant has no partner but she is not deterred by that. Let's give it up for Tenten!"

Ahhh, how Tenten remembered this day. The cursed day when Neji freaking Hyuga decided to 'help' (in quote) her out with her singing competition. Till now she wonders what her co-captain was thinking when he rudely barged into her competition and ruined her song.

Now that she was thinking about it though, Tenten felt that Neji must've done it on purpose. Why? Because everything that had happened up till now seemed to fall in place in a weird, suspicious way. It all began from the moment after the competition ended.

-

Livid, Tenten stormed out of the theater with a scared looking Neji following reluctantly behind her. She dragged him out. Of course she would drag him out! What sort of idiot allows a stupidly handsome boy ruin her song and allow him go scot-free?!

"Look- look- Tenten, I know you're mad-!" Neji began on his defense but was interrupted by a flamingly red Tenten.

"Of course I am! What the hell were you thinking?!" She blew up. It was about time too.

"W-well you asked for my help and I helped you!" Neji only served to fan her irritation with his stubbornness.

"You call that helping?! You sing as well as an asphyxiating cow!"

Ouch.

It was comical how red Neji's face turned, he could beat Hinata's record, but still he was Neji and he wasn't going to back down so easily. "In my defense, you didn't ask if I was good at singing or not."

Tenten threw her hands in the air frustratedly. "And it's my fault for assuming you are so good at everything!" She huffed, tired of everything that has led until the moment. "Don't talk to me again." She warned darkly and stormed off.

In doing so she missed the look of absolute horror on her co-captain's face. The boy shook his fear off and ran over to her, grabbing her by her arm.

"Wait!" Tenten growled in response but he was unmoving. "Okay fine, I ruined your show and I'm..." Tenten perked up. "... not sorry I did that." She deflated back. Seriously, what was she thinking? That the great Neji Hyuga would apologize? Haha blasphemy.

Tenten snatched her arm out of his hand. "Buzz off." She sneered and walked away only to be dragged back again. Why that rude-! She was about to spit some angry words at him when he cut her off.

"I'll make it up to you, okay?" Neji promised. Tenten raised a brow.

"How?" She asked, suspicious.

"I'll..." Neji paused to think. "I'll take you to the movies or art gallery or museum or wherever you want to go." He nodded satisfactorily to himself for his great idea which Tenten scoffed at.

"Big deal. I'd go where I want myself." She prepared to leave.

"I'll pay for everything you buy on that day too!" Neji shouted a little too fast. Too desperately but Tenten was blind to that. Instead she paused to consider his offer.

"Everything?"

"Everything." Neji reconsidered his words at the mad grin that was widening her lips and he gulped. "Everything but terms and conditions apply."

"Yes!" Tenten whooped for joy and damn Neji if her happy face at that moment wasn't the prettiest thing he'd seen.

He was brought painfully out of his lala moment with a sharp blow on his abdomen that caused him to bend over, coughing. "What- was that- for?!" He wheezed out each word to the girl smiling above him with a sadistic grin.
