Playing Catch The Soul (NejiTen Story)

Meomory 11: PE Class Age: 15

Present TenTen's POV

TenTen sighed in relief as she was out of Kakashi-Sensei's class. The horror she imagined she'd been through, thinking she had worse. She walked over to her locker and pulled out her gym bag and grudgingly walked over to the locker room.

"I miss Sasuke-Kun," Sakura sighed and tied her hair as she was in her PE uniform. Ino nodded in agreement. TenTen ignored their talk about Sasuke. It's been three years since he was gone, they couldn't get over it.

She started to change in her clothes with an uncomfortable look on her face. She always had a problem changing with these people. Sakura and Ino. "Tsunade-Sama said she knew nothing about it and sent ANBU to go on a search for him," Ino said. Sakura nodded.

"I was informed from Tsunade-Sama. But why would they sent such high-rank ninjas like ANBU to look for one guy? I know I miss him, but I don't get it," Sakura said and TenTen shrugged. "Maybe because he's an Uchiha Prodigy," TenTen said getting in the conversation.

"True. Itachi-San might be worried," Sakura said and grabbed her gym bag and left e locker room with Ino. Now, it was just me and Hinata in the Women's Locker Room.

"T-TenTen-Chan, may I talk to you for one second?" Hinata asked timidly and tied her shoes. TenTen nodded and slipped on her shorts. "I-It's been a rumor that Neji-Niisan likes me..," Hinata said and stuffing her old shoes in her gym bag.

TenTen sighed and tied her shoelaces putting her old ones in her bag soon doing a jutsu putting them back in a giant scroll. "What do you think would happen if I told you, Hai he likes you?" TenTen asked blankly and swung the giant scroll on her back. Hinata yelped as if she'd just seen a ghost.

"Wh-What? B-But what if N-Naruto-Kun knows? A-And he won't like m-me," Hinata asked. TenTen smiled and out a hand on her shoulder. "You'll live," TenTen said and the two walked out of the women's locker room. I rested my giant scroll on the bleachers and hopped down onto the large field where the same group was there. Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Kiba, Shino, Naruto, Choji, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, and Neji. "Not PE!" Choji exclaimed.

What surprised me was that Gai-Sensei was the PE teacher.

"Gai-Sensei?!" TenTen and Neji exclaimed in confusion. Gai just smirked. "Yes! The most favorite class so far! Battle is the most youthful training!" Gai exclaimed sounding excited. TenTen crossed her arms and had a blank expression on her face. "Oi, not the word 'youth' again," TenTen muttered. Neji nodded.

"You'll text your knowledge on the battlefield itself! Now, we have to start with a few running laps and obstacle courses," Gai said and referred to the field we were on. Cones and a running track with a few ringing flames and ramps.

"Wh-What?!" Choji exclaimed and looked like he was about to faint. Of course, he felt like he wouldn't make it out of these 45 minutes alive. "Don't faint, Choji-Baka," Ino muttered with her arms crossed and looked st Choji staring at the obstacle course in shock and at the large size of the track.

"First, let's start with the picking of teams. Girl's will start," Gai said. The four of us walked up to the front and TenTen was chosen to pick first. She glanced at the field of boys there and was sure not to pick Choji. Or Rock Lee since he was annoying to her.

"Neji," she said calmly.

Neji walked up and stood next to her. It was Ino's turn to pick. She scanned at the field of boys, avoiding Choji.

"Shikamaru," Ino said without a question.

Shikamaru lazily stood next to Ino without a question. Now it was Hinata. Her face blushing red as she pointed at Naruto with her hand shaking.

"N-Naruto-Kun..."

Naruto smirked and stood next to Hinata, which caused Hinata's face to blush even redder than last time. I glanced at Neji who was avoiding to look at Naruto and Hinata with his arms crossed, clearly jealous. "So you do like Hinata," TenTen said and playfully punched his arm. Neji avoided looking at TenTen. "Shut up," Neji said. TenTen smiled and saw as Sakura had to pick.

She took a little time with this one. She surely knew she wouldn't pick Choji, Kiba would always be causing trouble, Shino was too calm and collected for PE, so she went with Rock Lee.

"Lee-San," Sakura said.

Rock Lee pumped his fists in the air. Gai grinned widely as Rock Lee stood next to Sakura. A little bit too energetic that he was jumping up and down.

TenTen had to pick someone next. Kiba was practically begging TenTen to pick him. But she went with Shino. Ino's turn and she was basically left with Kiba. Choji was the last one so he went with Hinata's Team. Gai had to team up with Sakura and Rock Lee.

"Oh no. Those two are together. I sort of feel bad for Sakura-Chan now," TenTen said, clearly annoyed by the energetic sounds coming from Sakura's team. Sakura was plugging her ears as she glanced at Ino for help. But Ino was just watching with her arms crossed with a smirk on her face.

"Billboard Brow X Bushy Brow. Sasuke-Kun's all mine," Ino said and made a heart with Sakura and Rock Lee in it. Sakura clenched her fists. "SASUKE-KUN IS MISSING!" Sakura yelled in anger. "I'm just kidding. I can't join because then that would be cheating," Gai said and backed away.

"Okay, start with a simple four laps around the field. That's equal to one mile. But you must run real instead of using chakra. Then we'll start the obstacle course," Gai said with a smirk on his face. A whistle was blown and they started running.

Rock Lee was in the lead, Neji was next, Naruto was third, TenTen was fourth, Sakura was fifth, Ino was sixth, Shino was seventh, Kiba was eighth, Hinata was ninth, Shikamaru was tenth, of course, Choji was last.

Those were the places in which they finished. Choji already looked like he was about to faint from exhaustion as sweat beaded on his forehead. TenTen's eyes widened as Ino facepalmed herself in embarrassment. "Choji-Baka...," Ino muttered so her other hand on her hip.
