Summer Day The Hyuga Play's
Nejiten fic: Romance/Humor
Chapter 1
The Hyuga prodigy, nerveless Neji, walked down the road toward the regular training ground for Team Gai. It was too sunny today, and hot. In fact the sun was making Neji sleepy. He fought his eyes to stay open. Somehow he wished he wouldn't have to go out today and train.
The young jonin looked around and noticed it seemed empty today in Konoha. Everyone must be down by the lagoon, swimming. He gave a thought that the idea of cool water didn't seem so bad.
"Neji!" Called a voice from behind.
Neji snapped out of his trance and noticed he was walking slowly. He picked up his pace a little, not wanting to be late.
"Neji!" Called the voice. Only this time it was closer and he realized someone was calling him. Turning around under the blazing sun he saw none other than his teammate-Whoa. Hold on. He blinked.
Was that Tenten?
She was now in front of him, flushed from running. It was Tenten! He felt a sting in his nose as he stared at her, then something warm began to slide down…
"Oh my Gosh! Neji! You suddenly got a bloody nose! Are you okay?! Must be your allergies!" Tenten gasped, she reached in her pack and pulled out a tissue. She began to lean forward to wipe his face but instead he caught her wrist.
"T-Tenten. What…what are you wearing?!" he asked faintly as he took the tissue and wiped his nose by himself.
Tenten looked down. Neji couldn't stop staring; he felt heated-not by the weather this time. Tenten wasn't wearing her normal outfit. She had on a white three piece swimsuit…more like a bikini top with a very short skirt. So much summer cleavage…so much tanned skin…since when did Tenten look so…hot? He thought, dazed. Plus she had her holster pack in place on her right leg and her head protector still on her forehead.
"My swimsuit silly!" But she grimaced. "Sakura gave me it." So that explains…the showing of the skin.
"Hn." He finally tore away his eyes from her, refusing to turn anymore colors.
"So anyways, Gai-sensei says to report to the lagoon today, with swimsuits and ready to train. I was just looking for you."
"I didn't know." He replied meekly.
"Of course you didn't. Gai-sensei says he just about to meet us at the training ground to tell us to get change but he caught me leaving the house." She said.
"Then I guess I have to go home and change." He said, the sky suddenly looked very interesting.
She looked up and down at him. "Lord Neji you must feel at least a hundred degrees in those clothes! You could have at least worn cooler summer clothes." She scolded.
He secretly agreed but answered instead, still not looking at her, "My clothes are no matter. I'll see you at the lagoon in few minutes then."
The both nodded and took off, Tenten heading for the lagoon and Neji proceeding to the Hyuga compound and away from the bikini-clad teammate, feeling relieved and disappointed at the same time...
Okay he really had to stop thinking about her…since when was he feeling this strong about his female sparring partner? Oh yeah…since she was in some skimpy swimsuit. Damn hormones!

At last Neji came to his home. He landed in front of his gate only to see the bunch of Hyuga's there. He did a double take. Sunglasses, towels, sunscreen, swimsuits….
They're actually going to the lagoon too?
"Neji-niisaaaannnnn!!!" Said a voice.
Neji looked to see Hanabi coming up in her black swimsuit and a huge pair of sunglasses on holding several magazines. "What's going on? Hanabi-sama?" he asked.
"Where going to the lagoon beach. Pretty cool huh? Hiashi," --She never called him "father" unless it was directed to him. -- "decided to go since Hinata's already there with her new boyfriend."
"He's dragging the whole clan?"
"Noooooo not dragging. Every one seems pretty excited! Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be training?"
"Came to change." He mumbled.
"Can you come with us instead? I want you to build a sandcastle for me." Pleaded Hanabi.
"As much as I want too," Said Neji sarcastically. "I have to train. Tenten is already counting on me-"
"You mean the pretty girl that trains with you?" Asked Hanabi slyly.
Too pretty for her own good…He mumbled inwardly. "Yes."
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"NO! Go away I'm busy." Neji then pushed past her, despite her stomping the ground and screeching protests. What a brat. He thought.
He ran to his room and pulled open his closet. He began pushing through clothes, looking at the back for any swim trunks. He hasn't worn any in a long time…Aha! He pulled out a pair of white ones. Hn, it's the same color as Tenten's swimsuit. He thought about it and felt another nosebleed coming.
Pinching his nose he stumbled out the closet, very 'Un-Neji' like and threw off his clothes and changed into his trunks. Then he wondered if he should be shirtless. But then there's a better chance off the weapon's mistress minions (kunai and other scary sharp weapons) to hit him good…
Then he thought of her swimsuit…Tenten would be risking a lot of skin too. Oh lord, here comes another nosebleed.
Frustrated he just threw on a light weight shirt with long sleeves for now, re-adjusted his holster and pack. Ready to go he shot out of his room like a bullet, making his way to the lagoon.

"I WONDER IF NEJI IS COMING! IT IS UN-YOUTHFUL FOR HIM TO BE SLOW." Gai boomed.
"HAI! Gai-Sensei!" Agreed Lee.
Dammmnnn where's that Hyuga? Tenten looked around the trees at the lagoon scenery. Most Team Gai where currently standing on the water at the lagoon, but on the other side from the beach where most of Konoha flocked on this hot day, waiting patiently for Neji to arrive. She just caught up to him fifteen minutes ago.
She pulled down nervously on her skirt. Thank god it was a three piece or she'd have to walk around showing more of her butt, which she didn't want. It was hard for a kunoichi to stay professional in such a skimpy swimsuit.
Why did Sakura have to give her this one?
FlashBack: Two Weeks earlier: beginning of summer
"What's this?" Tenten peeked into the bag.
"It's a swimsuit! We're obviously going to have some summer fun." Explained Sakura, professionally. "Tsunade-sama promised me that I can invite some girls and we can all have a girls' day at the beach! Mission free!"
"Tsunade-sama is going too?" marveled Tenten, how great would it be to spend the day with her role model?! Sakura nodded and Tenten smiled with glee. "Really? That would be the best!"
"Hai!" She agreed.
Then Tenten pulled out the white three piece swimsuit and her eyes widened. "Sakura-chan, I'm supposed to wear this?"
"It's not bad; see you can wear the skirt over the bottom. Cute isn't it? Ino and I got something similar for Hinata as well."
"It's so…revealing."
"It's more covered than most swimsuits the store had!" protested Sakura. Then she grinned cheekily. "Plus, I did agree with Ino we'd get something for Neji to look at."
"Sakura-chan!" Scolded Tenten, pushing Sakura's arm playfully and giggling nervously.
"Hey think of it as a favor." She responded smiling. "You know, I know we don't talk much but I think we're becoming great friends!"
"Greatly. Agriato for the…swimsuit. I'll wear it." Nodded Tenten, happy she could become closer to the other kunoichi in the village.
"Promise?"
"Hai, hai. I promise."
End of flashback
Oh she wished she hadn't promised now. And she personally thought Neji didn't give a care in the world about what she wore, even though he was surprised to see her swimsuit this morning. She blushed.
"Flower of Konoha!" Cheered Lee, walking over to her. He was wearing a shorter sleeved and legged version of his spandex, plus in material meant to get wet-exactly like Gai. "Did you speak to Neji-kun about our meeting here?"
"Hai. He said he would go home and change-"At that moment the prodigy leaped onto the water from the trees.
"YOSH! NEJI YOU MADE IT!" Called Lee, forgetting about Tenten at the moment.
"Good, good!" Exclaimed Gai.
Neji came wearing a shirt. Damn, she was slightly disappointed. But one rare thing is that he was wearing swim shorts. She hadn't seen him wear shorts since he was thirteen.
"Finally." Said Tenten impatiently, shaking her head and waking toward the rest of her team. "Now we can find out why we're here."
She looked at Neji, noticing he was flushed red when he looked at her. Was he red like that a moment before? Or was he possibly blushing? No, don't be silly Tenten. Since when does Neji blush? She commented to herself.
"Team Gai, we are indeed training today…" Gai reported seriously, making his comrades pay close attention.
Suddenly he smiled widely. "ON WATER!"

Author's Note: Double-tasking with my stories here! I just had to try out a nejixTenten fic. The two are my FAVE Naruto pairing. Yosh.
Second chapter, or rather updates might be a little slower because I'm mostly paying attention to my other fic, Tobi's Buffet, which will be done in the next few chapters. So if you like this hang tight!
Seriously, if you don't like this pairing then don't comment. Thank you.
Thank you that is all. See you next chapter :)
