Neji at the Hyuuga Compound:

"PLEASE!!" Tenten asked with puppy dog eyes on high. "NEJI! Can I please see your room?"

"No," Neji said firmly.

"But why not?" She didn't like it when Neji was in a bad mood, so she would ask silly questions and act just as silly trying to get him to crack a smile.

She tugged on his sleeves and he just locked eyes with the girl before him. Her big brown eyes popping out and blinking along with her bottom lip pushed out. "I said no, Ten."

"Yeah, you always say no to anything fun. But most of the time I can make you do as I want anyways." She leaned against the same tree as him. Looking up at the sky she wispered in a lighter voice, Much more come with the one before it, she spoke his name "Neji?"

"Yeah?" he didn't even care what she was talking about. His mined was else where.

"What's wrong?" A sadness crossed her face.

"Nothing, mind your own business."

"Let me guess, "Prodigy" stuff?" Tenten had made air quotes around Prodigy making Neji smirk and let out some air as he tried not to laugh. She had a fresh breeze to her that always seemed new to him.

"I have another mission tomorrow." Neji answered knowing she would be upset with it. He still needed to tell her to keep her from flipping out like last time.

"What? But, you just got back from one a day ago you can't go on another that soon." Tenten protested "This last time you were gone for 5 weeks!"

He looked at her with a hint of sadness when he spoke, "I know."

Tenten went quite. She hated that his uncle sent him on so many missions. Neji still looked tired and had slept in until three in the afternoon. His cousins had to go and get him up for the first time ever. Tentenwas really worried about him but he didn't like to show how stressed he was. It was hard to even show it to Tenten and even then they had to be away from everyone and everything.

"Tenten," He had spoken after a minute or two, "I'll be fine." Neji had his eyes locked on her beautiful face.

"H-Hai, Neji." She didn't believe him but didn't want to fight about it. She was looking at her feet now. She was sitting with her legs just laying there not doing anything.

Neji knew by now that she didn't believe him. He stood and started to walk away.

Tenten's attention was moved to him when he got up. He turned, looked at her, Tenten got up and ran over to him. When she coat up they both walked together. "Where are we going?"

"My room."

"Sweet!" Tenten yelled making Neji smirk again. If he could make her happy and see her smile before he left then he knew he had to come back to her.

They walked up stars and down about nine hallways before Neji finely turned the last corner and opened the door. Tenten got so excited to see his room and then….glared at him when she saw it. Neji just stood there glaring back in ten fold.

"what?"

"Neji...."

"Yes?"

"I already thought you were lame but this…?" she walked in to see white walls, a simple carped, a bed with plane sheets, pillow, and one blanket. On top of that the room was clean and the only other things he had were…closes and a desk. "Do you have to be so lame at home too?"

"I don't need anything else." He stated plainly as he walked in to the room as well. He had a big room but he didn't really need it. He closed the door behind him.

"What time are you leaving for you're mission?"

"I have to be there at four and we are going to leave at about five in the morning." Neji said as Tenten looked in his closet.

"Four? When will you be back?" She was still looking but Neji didn't know what for. He slightly leaned forward to see what she was doing.

"Its three days at most." He walked behind her watching her as she was looking. She came out and smiled sheepishly. "Hn." Was all he said back.

"Um, I think I should get going so you can get read. But Neji..." Tenten shrunk back into herself liken unto a turtle.

He waited for her to finish and she did, "You sure you're up to this? Its a lot. I just am...ah, its just that..." I really care about you Neji...She could not finish it.

"You don't think I can do it? You don't believe I can?" Neji tested. Oh great! Now he thinks I'm picking a fight

She looked up into his eyes, "No, I never said that Neji. I'm just worried is all." He looked at the door to make sure it was shut before smiling at his team mate.

He pulled off his necklace and slid it under and over his hair to take it off. Neji then slid the shiny necklace onto Tenten's nack. His necklace was long on her and slid down between her. Her mouth opened and she looked into his eye. She found herself at a loss for words.

She had always seen this necklace on him for years and he never let anyone even touch it. He lifted her right hand and held it in his, "Neji" escaped her lips.

He leaned in until he was only but an inch away if that. His forehead leaned on hers. Then he spoke, "Ten, I have six hours to sleep until I have to go." She could feel his warmth on herself, "I want you to keep it," Holding up the end in the necklace for her to see, "Its your's."

She looked down at the necklace around her neck. It was a heart shape. "Neji-"

He pulled back quickly as if he had never been so close to her, touching her body with his. The warmth she once felt was had quickly vanished, "You need to sleep Ten."

"But-" was all of the protest she could get out before he spoke once again.

"We are wasting more time arguing about it." Neji interrupted and Tenten acquiesce to his voice. The deep and richness of it rang throughout her and demander respect.

"Alright." They walked back throw the halls and down the steps to the door and out to the street, "Neji?"

"Yes?"

"Can we hang out for a little longer when you get back? You never seem to have time to just have fun anymore." She looked at the ground as she spoke.

"I know, I will make more time if Hiashi likes it or not. When I get back we need to talk." Neji seemed to get slower when he talked. Man, my head hurts…Hiashi is just trying to get me killed…Thought Neji.

"Neji, maybe you shouldn't go on this one." She wanted Neji to stay. She wanted him to rest up more first.

"You and I both know I must go." Tenten sighed; she knew he would just go to show that he could.

They got to her house; it was small but still nice. She lived by herself after her mom and dad had pasted away. "Thanks for walking me home, Neji. I'll talk to you when you get back." Neji nodded and walked away.

Tenten POV.

Why can't you just relax all the time like when we are alone? Today was weird in his room. I sighed again and walked inside my house and closed the door. I could see how all of this was hurting Neji, badly. He hardly got any sleep and the sleep he did get his uncle wanted him to train and get better.

"He's a freaking Prodigy for crying out loud! What more do they want from him!? His dignity!?" I complained to my puppy that jumped on my stomach after I had lain down on the couch.

I picked him up and brought him closer to my face, "Do you know what they want from Neji?"

My dog barked as if to answer me, "Yeah, they want everything from him…" I sighed yet again, "Poor Neji. I think I'll go say hi to him before he leaves tomorrow." I got up, ate, took a shower, and get ready for bed. I sent my alarm for three in the morning.

I wasn't happy about having to get up at three but I wanted to see Neji again before he left.

Neji POV.

I walked home and Hiashi was there waiting for me. I tried to pass by him but then he spoke, "Boy," yes ass hole? Was all I could think. "Get ready for the mission tomorrow; we don't need you to be weak on this one. Is that girl making you soft?"

"No, She is just a friend." Yeah, because that's my fault…I went to my room, got my bag for the mission and opened it up. I filled it with all the things I would need for this mission. I didn't want to go, I didn't need to.

This wasn't what I wanted. This is all what Hiashi wanted for the clan. I hated this clan. My father is dead because of them and now they are just trying to work me to death. I wouldn't come back from missions if it wasn't for Tenten. This time I don't get to go with her but I'll be back soon.

Tenten…I'm going to miss her the most…I always do…

I got into bed and set my alarm to go of at 2am so I could get ready in the morning.

The Next Morning

"Hey, Hinata!"

"H-Hello, Ten-Chan" Hinata replied.

"Do you know where Neji is?"

"Hai, N-Neji-Ken is in h-his room and I-I think he is a-awake."

"Alright, I'll go say hi." Tenten ran up the stars and started down a hall, followed by another and another. Okay, so…I'm lost Tenten thought. She kept going but still didn't know where she was.

She was in a dead end hall and was so lost. If she could remember were to get back to Hinata she would have. She let out a sigh and then turned around to see another Hyuuga behind her.

"Hey," a voice came from behind her, "What are you doing here? You're not a Hyuuga."

"Hai, I'm not. I'm looking for my friend but I don't know where their room is."

"Hinata is in the kitchen, I'll show you where that is." He spoke as if he had to do this a lot and then turned to start walking.

"Not Hinata, Neji." He looked back at her when she said his name.

"Hn." He looked her up and down making her a little mad, "He should still be in his room right now but he has to leave soon."

"Hai, he told me that he had a mission today." The Hyuuga looked at her again and then started down the hall with her right behind him.

He stopped at a door and it didn't look right to Tenten. He opened it and went inside, "This isn't Neji's room." Tenten said.

"It's a short cut," He opened the door on the other side of this small room and looked back to her as she just now went thought the first door.

She closed it behind her, No…this isn't creepy…come into this dark room my chilled…she walked accost the room and to the door the Hyuuga had open. She walked throw and into another hall way making jokes to make herself feel safe.

"Here," he said when they got to Neji's room.

"Thank you." She said and the Hyuuga left. No you're welcome? Yep, a Hyuuga for sure. Then Tenten knocked on the door 3 times.

"Come in." Neji said from the other side of the door.

She opened the door slowly and saw Neji going throw his stuff. "Neji," Tenten said and he turned to see her. Neji's hair was still wet from the shower that morning. He just brushed it but hadn't yet put the ponytail in.

"Tenten?" Neji asked, "What are you doing here?"

He looks so tired…Neji… "Um, I wanted to come and say hello before you left."

Neji turned back around with a smirk on his face that was vary hard for him to hide. He had been on so many missions and every time he would get ready to go he had a little routine.

He would go to Tenten's house to see her again before he had to leave. This brought him some piece of happiness every time. He would always fined her asleep on her bed. Her brown hair flopped everywhere in the cutest ways. For a minute or two he would watch her and then leave.

Neji gabbed his bag throwing it on his shoulder he turned to her. He just looked at her before breaking out into another smirk. She smiled, he walked over to grab a ponytail from his desk and he was holding it out to her.

She looked at him blankly for a second and then smiled big grabbing the ponytail from him. She held out her other hand, "Brush?" He handed her one and she began to bush his hair strait. With every stroke she made him feel as if he was going to fall asleep with her still going through his hair.

Her hands seemed to move slowly, gently accost his back, head and hair. She let her fingers go through his hair a few times before she tried to put the ponytail in. His hair was so vary long and silky in her hands as she pulling it back into his normal stile.

"There." She said proud of her work.

Neji fought how tired he was to open his eyes all the way. He wanted to see her face with that great smile of hers. He could feel the strain on his eyes and the pain in hers that she tried to hide.

"Neji," She called him from his thoughts… don't go…please…

"Hn?"

shut up, you know he has to go, we talked about this, "You have to be there in ten minutes."

"Hai," He started out the room with her behind him.

They walked the maze he called hell and got to the front door. Tenten waved as she walked away. "Good luck Neji! Come back soon!" He nodded.

He watched her walk away and then went to the brief meting before going on his mission.

Tenten walked away holding onto his necklace for dear life. Be safe, come back.

Neji At Debriefing

"Alright, any questions?" Asked the ninja over this of this group. Neji couldn't even pay attention to him anymore, "Good, head out." They jumped high going throw the trees once again.

"Hyuuga," called out Sasuke as he caught up with Neji.

Tenten At Training

"Tenten, take a break already. Jeez, your making me tired and I'm just watching."

Tenten had been at it for six hours. She had taken only three breaks each ten minutes. She was panting and felt like she was going to pass out. It was ninety-three digress out and she still had to pick up all of her weapons.

She was mad that he really left the way he was. "That…stupid lo-los..loser is go…g-gonna get hims-self…killed…" she said to herself in a whisper as she had her head down and her hands on her knees. She throw one more weapon at the tree before she just letting herself fall to the ground.

"Now look what you did…I bet you made yourself pass out." the lazy ninja said from the shade.
