Tenten’s PoV
    “He does like her.” I told myself as I watched him walk away. Anger boiled inside of me at the thought of him loving her. “I have to kill her.” I agreed with myself as I packed up and went to (Y/n)’s apartment. I gently knocked on the door and hid my anger. A (h/c) haired girl opened the door and smiled at me. “Hi Tenten-chan.” She said. “Hi.” I said as I gave her a fake smile.
    I closed the door behind me and locked it, making my way towards the small framed younger girl. My anger continued to boil as I stood right in front of her before quickly bringing my hand to her throat before taking her throat to the wall and lifting her up.
     “Back off (Y/n). Neji’s mine, he loves me. Do you understand?” I asked darkly as I drew a kunai from my pouch and brought it towards her neck. She remained silent and glared at me, which only irritated me more. I growled lowly and clenched my teeth.
     “Fine.” I growled as I brought the knife blade quickly towards her throat. Just as the point would’ve pierced her neck, a hand grabbed my wrist. I looked over to see Neji glaring at me and holding my wrist.
     “N-Neji-kun.” I said in surprise. “Put her down Tenten.” He said angrily. I put her down and tears gathered in my eyes. “Neji-kun she tried to kill me! I came over to say hello to her and she told me to stay away from you!” I cried pointing at (Y/n).
     “Stop lying and get out.” He said icily with his usual glare. I ran out of (Y/n)’s  apartment in tears and ran to the training grounds. “Damn you (Y/n).” I repeated as I began beating on one of the logs. Tears rolled down my face as I remembered what happened during the Chunin Exams.
*Flashback*
     Neji approached (Y/n) and noticed the scroll she was trying to hide in her shirt. He folded his arms across his chest and raised an eyebrow at her. Her face became an even darker pink as she looked at the questioning look in his eyes. “I-I didn’t have anywhere else to hide it.” She said in an embarrassed tone as she looked down at her feet.
     “Give me your scroll.” He demanded as he held his hand out. She quickly removed the scroll and held it out to him. He took the scroll and looked at it. “Dammit.” he muttered as he put the scroll in the pouch on her back. “D-do y-you have a heaven scroll t-too?” She stuttered quietly.
     He nodded without looking her in the eye and collected the water bottles from us.
