Author- 4give4get

Rated- T (For stuff in later chapters…)

Pairing- NEJI X TENTEN ALL THE WAY!!!!

Chapter- One (Neji is in Love with Tenten?)

Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto, if I did I'd give Tenten a last name, something obviously Masashi Kishimoto (who does own Naruto) finds himself incapable. WOULD IT BE SO HARD TO JUST MAKE UP SOME GIBBERISH-LAST NAME!!! I MEAN, EVEN KISAME HAD A LAST NAME, BUT, NOOOO, NOT TENTEN!!!!

Neji is in Love with Tenten?...

Neji jumped from tree branch to tree branch as fast as he could. He could hardly hear himself panting over the bursting veins in his temples. His heart had been working overtime lately. At last he came to the spot where his Byuukugan had been focused on. He dropped to the ground.

In front of him was a six-year-old kid, looking pretty pissed off. He glared at Neji, who just glared back twice as hard, making the kid take a step back, whimpering.

"Think you're funny?" he asked, picking up the kid effortlessly, and throwing him over his shoulder.

"Hey! Put me down!" the kid screamed, and pounded his tiny fists on Neji's back. He sighed.

What was Tsunade thinking sending a Jounin like him on a mission to find some runaway kid? It was troublesome, that's what it was. He could be training… He took off and focused more chakra to his feet. The kid began screaming again as he punched slightly harder.

Neji sighed again as he realized even with chakra it would be fifteen minutes before he got back to the village. The kid began to squirm even more, he was pretty keen on getting free, obviously, even though he was roughly forty feet in the air. Neji stopped on a branch to get a better hold of him.

"Let. Go. Of. Me." He kid threatened, as Neji simply held the back of his collar.

"If I let go of you, you'll fall to your death." He said, calmly.

"Ugh!" the kid grunted, still trying to pry Neji's hand off of him.

'Why doesn't he just give up?' he thought, 'Humph, I wonder what Tenten's doing…'

Neji caught himself thinking this? What? What about Tenten? She'd probably be training, or with Ino or Hinata. Wait, it was later in the day, she'd most likely be home by now, making dinner for her great-grandmother who was far too old to cook herself. Yes, he could see her. In light blue pajamas with her hair in buns, standing over the stove. Dark circles under her eyes, and an exhausted look on her face. That's how she always looked after sparring with him.

"Mister?" the kid demanded, breaking his thought train, "Do you hear what I'm saying?"

"Just shut up." Neji responded, throwing him over his shoulder again, this time more securely and took off again.

By the time they reached Konoha, the sun was about to set and the sky was turning orange and pink. Tsunade was snoring at her desk.

"Oy, baa-chan! Wake up!" Neji snapped, annoyed.

She cracked her eyes open, "What do you want, Hyuuga?" she matched his tone.

"I've got the kid you wanted." He stated, holding up kid up by the back of his collar again. He looked pissed, and he crossed his arms.

"Huh? Oh yeah. Just take him home. Here's his address." She slid a piece of paper at him. He took it and left.

"Oh, Toyo!" the woman who answered the door cried, "Don't you ever scare us like that again!"

Toyo just rolled his eyes, as she hugged him.

"You! How can we ever thank you?" she wailed, now crying.

"It was no problem." He said, emotionlessly, "I'll go now."

She nodded, "Say thank you, Toyo." She commanded him.

"Hell no!" was all Neji heard before he was out of earshot.

That was the biggest waste of 45 or so minutes he'd ever experienced. He sighed, as he headed out to his training spot. Several minutes, later when he got there, he noticed something sprawled out under the tree. It was Tenten. Her brown hair was in their buns and her eyes closed. Neji thought of the chocolate colored orbs behind her eyelids. Her skin seemed unnaturally pale in the darkness.

He shook her gently, almost not wanting to wake her up, but just watch her sleep. She made a few incoherent mutters before she awoke.

"Ada, Neji!" she sat up fast, "What time is it? When did you get here?"

He smirked, "Twilight." He replied, "And just now."

She jumped to her feet, brushing loose dirt off of her.

"Sorry, I've got to go! I fell asleep. Great-Grandmother's gonna wonder what happened to me. Sorry, Neji!" she called as she took off running.

He gazed after her longingly. Even after she was long out of sight. Her voice rang in his head. It was sweet, like candy, almost. He missed her presence as soon as he was without it. 'Crap.' He thought, punching a tree, turning it into splinters, 'I'm in love with Tenten.'

Glad you're finally catching on. A voice in his head remarked.

'And now I'm crazy.' He added.

Maybe so. The voice mused.

'Okay, all knowing voice,' he thought to himself bitterly, 'if you're so smart, who the hell are you?'

The voice just ignored him and put images of Tenten in his head. Annoyed, he began the walk home, not in the mood to train anymore.
