Poor Tenten (part 3)

Chapter 3: Shikamaru’s Plan2

The two boys were in battle position, completely ready to kill one another.3

“NEJI!” Hiashi Hyuuga yelled from another room. “If you’re going to kill someone, take it outside!”4

“Ok!” Neji yelled back. “Gawd my uncle is so frustrating! Anyway, Lee, can we take this outside?”5

“Sure thing, rival!” Lee got into giant kick position and faced himself towards Neji’s bedroom wall.6

“What are you doing?” Neji asked him with a worried look. Lee suddenly jumped forward at full thust. “LEE STOP!” Neji screamed at him, but the wall already had a huge hole in it.7

“Neji!” Hiashi yelled again. “What did I just tell you?”8

“Sar-ree!!” Neji yelled back. “Besides, it wasn’t me! It was…”9

“NO SWEARING ETERNAL VEGENCE ON PEOPLE FOR A MONTH!!"10

“WHAT!?!” Neji screamed in horror. “B-but, that’s not fair! IT WAS LEE!”11

“Um, sorry?” Lee smiled pathetically. “So are going to fight or not?”12

“Yeah we are!” Neji turned back towards Lee. “You’ll pay! I swear eternal vengence on you!”13

“NEJI!”14

“Er… I mean, I hate you and I’m gonna kill you!” Neji corrected himself.15

“Then it’s on!” Lee and Neji stepped outside and went into battle mode.16

“Byakugan!” Neji started with his obvious and safest attack method.17

“Strong Fist!” Lee jumped towards Neji with his attack.18

Neji dodged Lee’s attack. “Gentle fist!” He started with two heavy strikes, followed by 4, 8, 16, 32, and finally 64. Lee fell on the ground just as Tenten came into view.19

Lee got up quickly and shouted, “Leaf Great Whirlwind!” Which Neji followed with a, “Kaiten!” Which sent Lee flying backwards again.20

“Neji!” Tenten came over and helped “poor Lee” up onto his feet. “I can’t believe you! How can you try to kill Lee!?”21

Lee smiled at Tenten, but she was so busy scolding Neji that she forgot she didn’t notice. She started to walk towards the Hyuuga, dropping Lee on his head in the process.22

“You know what, Neji?” Tenten asked him, not expecting an answer. “I was having a fine time with, but then something in the movie made me think about this morning!”23

“B-but…” Neji stammered, trying to explain the situation.24

“Don’t give me that!” Tenten screamed at him some more, blabbering out nonsense about her and Lee and Neji’s relationship.25

That’s when, all-of-a-sudden, Chouji, Ino, and Shikamaru were walking along and noticed this. Chouji just so happened to be carrying 3 large bags of popcorn, so they decided to watch the show.26

“Man, Tenten should give Neji a chance to tell her that he likes her,” Ino commented on the fight.27

*chomp* “Who cares?” Chouji replied. “As long as they’re fighting, we’ve got a show to watch!”28

“This is so troublesome…” Shikamaru lied on his back and stared at the clouds. “It’s obvious that Neji and Lee both like Tenten, while Tenten secretly likes Neji, but hates that Neji’s so shy about it and Lee asked her out but she didn’t want to hurt his feelings so she accepted and she did have an ok time with him so now Tenten really needs some support.”29

Ino just stared at Shikamaru. “HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIGURE THAT OUT!?!?”30

“He’s Shikamaru, that’s how,” Chouji answered her question. “And he said Tenten needs some support. You should get the other girls and go help her out.”31

“Good idea Chouji!” Ino pumped up her fist. “Just make sure they’re still fighting when I get back!” She ran back towards Konoha, while Shikamaru was sleeping and Chouji stole both their bags of unfinished popcorn.32

“Hey Hinata!” Ino ran over to Hinata.33

“I-Ino?” Hinata put her fingers together in her usual pose. “What’s wrong?”34

“Tenten’s in trouble!” Ino screamed.35

“What kind of trouble?”36

Ino took a big breath. “Well, Shikamaru figured out that Neji and Lee like Tenten, but Tenten likes Neji, but she got annoyed at Neji for not asking her out after so long and Lee did, and she didn’t want to hurt Lee’s feelings so she accepted, then she had an ok time with Lee and just now Neji and Lee got in a fight over her and she’s in big trouble!” *pant pant*37

“Wow!” Hinata said. “Let’s go get Sakura!”38

“Why do we need forehead-girl?” Ino joked.39

“Same reason we need a pig…” Hinata said under her breath.40

“What was that?” Ino asked Hinata suspiciously.41

“Oh nothing!” Hinata smiled. “It’ll just be better for Tenten! Heh heh!”42

Lee was still KO-ed, but Tenten was up and kickin’. I mean, if Lee had seen Neji’s face right there, he would have cracked up laughing, no matter how polite he is!43

“AND ANOTHER THING!” Like I said. “I DON’T REALLY CARE IF HE WEARS FRIKIN’ UGLY GREEN SPANDEX! HE’S STILL MY TEAMMATE AND I HAVE TO LIKE HIM AT LEAST A LITTLE!!!”44

Neji was in chibi, crying mode with Tenten’s giant angry head screaming above him. “Tenten…” Neji whimpered. “It’s just that…”45

“I DON’T WANT ANY OF THAT!!” And it goes on and on and on…46

“Sakura!” Hinata and Ino finally found her.47

“Oh hey Hinata! Ino-pig,” She replied. “What’s up?”48

“Tenten needs our help, forehead-girl!” Ino started to explain. “You see, Shikamaru realized that Neji and Lee both like Tenten…”49

Hinata covered Ino’s mouth. “Uh, you’ll find out when we get back!” She smiled weakly.50

“Ok, whatever,” Sakura followed them back to the Hyuuga household.51

“Are you sure Tenten’s the one who needs help?” Sakura asked Ino.52

“Huh.” The blonde replied. “I guess Neji needs a heck of a lot more help than Tenten.”53

They were watching Tenten screaming over the tiny, chibi-fied Neji.54

“But we can’t help Neji,” Sakura said. “Tenten might think he’s turning into some pimped up playboy.”55

“Ugh,” Ino sighed. “Then I guess you guys have to go get your teammates.”56

“W, what about you?” Hinata asked her blonde friend.57

“They’re already here,” Ino motioned to her team behind the bushes.58

“Alright, we’ll be back soon,” Sakura and Hinata took off to go get their teammates.59

“Ok!” Ino waved towards them. “Ok, so now it’s time to get those boys to help. Mind Tranfer Jutsu!”60

“Ugh!” Shikamaru jumped slightly. “Hey Chouji,” ‘He’ said to ‘his’ teammate. “We should go help Neji,”61

“Why not sure,” Chouji got up from his seat.62

“Wow, that was almost too easy,” Ino thought inside Shikamaru’s head.63

“Ino! Get the hell out of my head!” Shikamaru was yelling at her.64

“Just a second,” Ino thought.65

“Hey Chouji, guess what?”66

“What?”67

Music starts playing in the background. “I like to move it move it. I like to move it move it. Physically fit. Physically fit. Physically physically physically fit HEY! Physically fit. Physically fit. Physically physically physically fit! I like to move it move it!” ‘Shikamaru’ was dancing like there was no tomorrow.68

“What… the… hell…” Chouji stared in disbelief. “Wait… Ino!? Get out of Shikamaru!”69

“Ahh, you’re no fun. Return!” Ino’s body perked up again, and Shikamaru’s did the opposite.70

“Oh, gawd…” Shikamaru held up his head. “Ino, if you ever do that again, I swear…”71

“You’ll do what?” Ino held out a video camera that she, for some reason, had had planted next to Chouji. “Do this?” She pressed play and showed Shikamaru what had happened while he was gone.72

Shika twitched. “What do you want?” He asked her.73

“Go help Neji,”74

“But I thought you were going to help Tenten,”75

“Did you even watch like I told you to?” Ino put her hands on her hips as Shikamaru took a look at the fight.76

“AND AT LEAST HE WEARS SOME COLOR!! I MEAN OMIGAWD! TAN AND BLACK! THAT’S SO BO-RING! GAWD NEJI!” Tenten was still screaming. Seems there’s a lot of things about Neji she could scream about.77

“Oh,” Shikamaru turned back to Ino. “Heh. Well I’ll go help,”78

“Yeah you better,” Blondie glared a hole through his body. Shikamaru shivered.79

“Hey, um, Neji!” Shikamaru yelled and walked slowly out of the bushes.80

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” Tenten was on a roll, she couldn’t stop at Neji. “AND WHAT’S UP WITH YOUR HAIR ANYWAYS? IT’S LIKE A PINEAPPLE! GAWD!”81

Shikamaru sighed and said, “Ok Tenten, lemme have a short chat with Neji, then he’ll have something to tell you,”82

“FINE!” Tenten screamed. “HE’S GOT 5 MINUTES!” Tenten turned around and sat on the ground, staring at her watch every 3 seconds.83

Shika took Neji back into the bushes. “Alright Neji, there’s something we all need you to do,”84

“All?” Neji felt a little worried.85

“All,” Shikamaru motioned behind him, where, with his genius, he knew every younger ninja was standing, cuz if all the adults were single and alone, how could they help with this problem?86

“Neji,” Naruto came up to him, “If you like someone, you should make sure they know, that way, if they break your heart, you have more time to recover! Dattebayo!”87

Everyone sighed but Hinata. “N, naruto-kun likes it when people are more honest?” She thought. “Ah geez,”88

“I know,” Neji complained with a serious look on his face, “It’s just, she doesn’t like me back and I know it,”89

Again, everyone sighed.90

“So?” Naruto asked the Hyuuga prodigy. “Sakura and Ino knew Sasuke didn’t like them, but they still asked him out countless times!”91

Sakura and Ino flushed in anger.92

“And I know Sakura doesn’t like me, but did that stop me from trying to hug her? No way!" Naruto pumped up a fist. “So if you really like a girl, you have to tell her, and that way you’ll know!”93

“Serisouly Neji,” Temari came over, “It’s better to know they don’t like you then to live life wondering what could have been,”94

Neji stared at the ground and cried a little. Everyone stared. Suddenly Sasuke’s old fan club walked by.95

“Omg! Is that child prodigy Neji Hyuuga!?”96

“Is he crying? That is so hawt!”97

“I wanna piece of his shirt!”98

“I wanna cut off his hair and sell it online!”99

“TIME'S UP NEJI!” Tenten screamed towards the bushes.100

Neji looked around him. He was surrounded. Behind him was Tenten, ready to chew at his bones, and everywhere else were screaming fangirls. Shikamaru looked at him and saw the scared look on his face, when an idea popped into his head.101

“Hey Naruto,” He told the spikey-haired blonde, then he started whispering into Naruto’s ear.102

Suddenly Naruto stared up at Sakura with stars in his eyes. “DEFINITELY!” He got up, and did a special jutsu.103
