Chapter Two: A Broken Promise

TenTen and Neji

“How could you!?” She screamed at him, a trail of tears down her cheeks. “You told me I am your only one! You told me we could be happy together!” His usual emotionless face was soft and apologetic.

This really wasn’t his fault, he didn’t plan this, his uncle did. He knew he had someone he loved, but his uncle still went ahead and did something that now jeopardised his relationship. “TenTen, please calm down. Just let me expl-”

“Explain!? What is there to explain!?” She interrupted. “What!? You want to try to explain how you’re engaged and how you never told me until a week from the wedding!? I’m not stupid! You don’t have to spell this out for me!”

She turned to leave but was held back by Neji. “I never knew this was planned until just today!” He softly whispered. “I promise you I’m telling the truth, I don’t lie. You should know that of all people.”

TenTen struggled to pull her arm away from his grasp, but to no avail. She had her back turned to him, fighting with all of her to not break down crying. “Answer me one question then.” She managed to whimper out without letting more tears fall. “Do you still love me?”

“I have never stopped loving you, so why would I now?” TenTen gave her arm a violent jerk but Neji just held onto her tighter.

“Because what’s the point of loving me if you’re going to marry some beautiful and rich women!? What’s the point of making me believe you love me when sooner or later you’ll just forget me!” TenTen yelled into the night and spun around to face the Hyuuga boy with fresh tears pouring out of her eyes. “What’s the point of that!?” She yelled in his face.

He didn’t flinch at how loud her voice got, he waited for her to calm down.

TenTen looked at him through watery, angry brown eyes. She wanted to just push him away and just run as far as she could go, as far away from him as possible.

He had told her- no, promised her- that he would love her until they died, he would be with her until the end of time. But now, here he was, telling her that he’s engaged and the wedding was next week.

So does that mean the times they spent together were nothing now? Did he really forget what they’ve been through together after so many years in just a day? How could he forget about her so quickly?

“Why are you doing this to me!? Why are you toying with my heart!?” She angrily demanded, giving her arm another yank.

Neji seemed to have had enough of her stubbornness, he pulled her into his embrace. She struggled, trying to get away but it was no use. He held onto her like he would never let go. “TenTen stop this.” He whispered into her ears.

“No! Stop toying with me!” She cried, pushing her palms on his chest. “Why can’t you just let me go!?”

As stubborn as she was acting, Neji couldn’t blame her for acting this way. He could see why she was so angry with him, they have had been together for the last three years and just awhile back he promised her he would make her happy and they would be together forever. But then this engagement came up.

Normally the Main House wouldn’t care who the Branch House members married but Neji is the Hyuuga Clans most talented member, so they couldn’t have him just marrying just anyone.

“I already said I still love you, why wouldn’t you believe that?” He gently asked her through her struggle to break free.

“Because you’re lying! All this time, I was just a toy wasn’t I!?” She grunted through her teeth. Neji gave a frustrated sigh.

“No you’re not. If you were then why would I care how you felt about the wedding? Wouldn’t I just have dropped you suddenly and not tell you about the wedding? But I didn’t. I’m here right now, hoping I could work something out with you and yet you keep pushing me away.” Neji explained, she stopped struggling, she seemed to be thinking what he said over in her head.

“No,” She muttered after awhile. “no! Get away from me!” She suddenly gave a furious push and she was out of Neji’s hold. “I hate you, stay away from me.” She screamed at him, she turned and ran as fast as she could.

Neji tried to follow after her but as soon as he started running weapons were sent flying at him, so that delayed him greatly. By the time he got away safely from three of those mass weapon attacks, she was already far to ahead for him to sense her.

There was so much he had intended on telling her but didn’t get the chance, he had even planned them all out.

First he would tell her he loves her still and everything would work out, she would believe him. Then he would tell her he has a solution to all this; they would run away together. Away from Konoha, as far away from Konoha as they could go and she would say Ok and they would leave the next day.

Where did everything go so wrong? He really hadn’t expected TenTen to react the way she did. How the hell did things turn out the way they did!?

Maybe the was the last time he would see her. That wasn’t how he wanted the last time to be. She was angry, she was crying and worst of all she said she hates him. Did she really mean it or was it something just at the spur of the moment?

Either way, it was painful to here her say such a thing to him.
