Gothic Tenten--Chapter 4

Sorry for the delay, guys.
A special thanks to Team 7x from fanficton.net for the outfit ideas
And to my beta, too-much-romance from fanfiction.net


Neji’s POV:
What is that girl doing?
Tenten pulled the last ribbon out of her hair, making it cascade down her back. It reached about 20 inches long...longer than mine!

It cascaded around her shoulders and down to her mid back. She started to slowly take off her jacket, and oh GOD I can see her bra!
My eyes wondered a little too low and right on her lower back there was...
“A TATOO!?!?!?!” I screamed. Then quickly covered my mouth with my hands. That wasn’t supposed to come out. Tenten just gave me a WTF face.
“Yes, Neji. I have a tattoo. And, unlike my body piercing's, that one is real.” She smirked and went back to brushing her hair out, I could see a look of satisfaction reflecting in the mirror.

I have GOT to do something. Tenten has gone totally badass.
But you know you want her.
Who are you?
I'm your Inner self. You are just such a boring prick and there was nothing to talk about, but now you have HORMONES!!! I’m so proud of you!
What the hell?
Come on, you know you just want to see what ELSE is hiding behind those baggy clothes. Let’s rip them off!
Damn. I have one Horny inner self.
And proud of it!

Then it hit me.
“The piercings aren’t real?” She had a tattoo but no piercings. She really WAS weird.
“Well, SOME aren’t’.” She smirked. I gulped. I reached down at the glass of water in front of me and took a sip, never letting it out of my hand.
“When did you get the tattoo? You’re training with our team almost 24/7, when did you get the time to do something like that?” What really bugged me was that, I knew she was a masochist, but I didn’t expect her to go as far as actually marking herself! The ink was in the shape of a shuriken star with tribal wings on either side.
“ I got it the day I learned the rising twin dragons technique.” She tapped her chin while trying to recall the memory.
-PPFFFTTT- I spit the water out on the table. She got the Tattoo when she was 13?!?! Holy CRAP!
My train of thought was interrupted by Tenten snorting. I turned my head towards her only to see her stifling a laugh. I guess she couldn’t hold it in much longer because soon she was rolling on the floor clutching her stomach.
“HAHA!! I can’t...believe...you fell for it!” she gasped out.
“...Huh?” was all I managed to get out before she regained her composure.
“I got this tattoo when I officially became a member of the 6 stars; a group of religious, fortune telling shinobi who study mystical arts in order to improve their abilities. I became an official member last year.”
I sighed in relief. Tenten wasn’t so irresponsible after all.
“well, in that case; I would be a waste of your skills if you didn’t put them to use.” This Idea was brilliant. I can finally see her crystal ball reading skills.
“Umm...I think I know what your getting at but would you mind clarifying what you mean?” she asked with her eyebrow raised.
I sighed. She wasn’t going to be an easy one to persuade.
“Can you see my future in a crystal ball?”
“Yes.”
She just walked over to the couch and sat down next to me.
Awkward silence.
“Well?” I asked. What did I tell you? She’s too stubborn for her own good.
“Well what?”
“Aren’t you going to go get the crystal ball?”
“No. Why?”
“You said you could read my future.”
”You asked if I could, and I can. You didn’t ask if I would.” She said a matter-of-fact-ly.
“Will you?”
“Do you want me too?” she raised her eyebrow again.
“Tenten, it’s raining. Were stuck here. The only form of entertainment we would have is watching the sink drip water. Go get your crystal ball.”
Tenten rolled her eyes and got up from the couch.
She knew when she had been beaten.
A few moments later, she carried out a silvery-blue glass ball and a stand. She set it down in front of me.
“Place your hands on either side of the ball.” She ordered. I complied. This wasn’t so bad...
Wait...what is she doing?
Dude! She’s going to put her hands on top of yours! Sweeet...
Get lost.
Too bad dude. I’m not gonna miss this! I wonder if our future involves Tenten standing in front of us without any clothes... My inner raised both of his eyebrows up and down. Stupid horny bastard.
I heard that.
Shut up.
dude, she’s calling you.

“Neji? Are you listening?!”
“Hn.”
“smartass.”
“Aa.”
“Anyway...I am going to close my eyes and focus my chakra to my hands. You need to pay close attention to the crystal ball to see your future. I won’ t see anything, so you’ll have to tell me when to stop.”
I nodded to show that I understood.
Tenten closed her eyes as her hands glowed blue with chakra.
I stared into the crystal ball
It started to get foggy, but an image formed onto the translucent glass.
My eyes widened.
There, in the ball was...
