Wrong

Tenten was a clever girl.

She always was, she always will. Nothing got past her. Her whole life consisted of precision and accuracy. Styles, techniques, timing. It was in her life.

She was always a clever girl to begin with.

And clever people have the heavy responsibility of always doing the right thing.

That's where Tenten lacked.

She knew it was wrong, completely, utterly, catastrophically wrong.

He was engaged.

She was too.

Engaged to different people.

Having a relationship with someone who was engaged to someone else, was just plain wrong. A sin.

There was always a tugging at her heart when she was alone with Neji, her lover. A tiny voice in the back of her head was constantly screaming, TENTEN! THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU'RE LETTING DOWN! THIS IS WRONG! YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO THE RIGHT THING! WHAT ABOUT YOUR PARENTS? TEACHERS? IDOLS? THEY'LL BE SO DISAPPOINTED!

She always felt guilty as she was in his arms.

She was selfish, she knew that. Selfish, in the way of letting others down for her own bliss. Her own pleasure, for other people's disappointment.

Up until she had really gotten to know him, Tenten had always been doing the right thing.

If she forgot her homework, she went up to the teacher, and just told her straight out.

If she was responsible for beating up a bully, she told the teacher.

If she got bad marks, she told her parents.

If someone got bullied, she stood up for them.

She had been completely honest.

Up until eleven, she had constantly been doing the right thing.

Then she met him.

Hyuuga Neji.

Her life was like a tight-rope act.

She had been walking strictly on the rope.

Then, she slowly started to bend the rules, stumbling a bit.

She had been sneaking off with him during missions.

Lying to keep him out of trouble.

Getting in trouble, to keep him out.

Then finally, she lost her balance, slipped off the rope, came crashing down.

She had finally broken all the rules.

Crashing down, with no one to catch her.

All by herself…

Until he came falling down with her.

They both knew it was wrong.

He strictly followed his fate.

His fate, of which obeying all rules and serving the head branch.

Until she was in his fate.

She had turned everything upside down, forcing him to bend the rules.

Bending them… until he broke them.

It was crazy. Bending their rules, for secret lovers, whom they couldn't even marry.

It was crazy.

It was wrong.

But who cared?

What they didn't know, couldn't hurt them.

They were both clever.

She was quick-minded.

He was a prodigy.

But they were willing to bend the rules.

"Ugh… Neji… what if we get caught?"

"We won't."

"But…"

"Tenten, for once in your life, stop thinking."

They both knew it was wrong.

They both knew they had to mend their sins.

But…

"Neji, Gai and Lee will…" Tenten was cut off by a kiss.

It was wrong.

But it felt so right.

"I don't care," he whispered huskily against her lips.

It was wrong.

But at this point, they really didn't care.
