Once upon a Butterknife
Maybe this was a bad id-
But Neji had no time to finish his thought as a simple, seemingly innocent butterknife came murderously flying towards his stomach. Neji dropped to the ground, the knife whizzing by his head a bit too close for comfort.
It had all been his idea in the first place. Sakura and Lee had taken his normal training ground down by the river, so Neji had offered his home in it's place.
All nice and well thought out, this one was.
"Come on, Neji! It's just a butterknife! It's not going to hurt you," Tenten mocked as she took threw the polished utensil towards her partner, this time aiming for his face. Neji dodged it with grace, but Tenten, no more weapons at her disposal, chose that moment to pounce.
Unfortunately, neither of them noticed the mischievously placed staircase two feet behind Neji. Neji only had time to wrap his hands around her waist before he lost his balance, and both of them went tumbling down.
What seemed like a hundred steps later, Neji and Tenten finally hit the ground, their groans echoing down the hall. Tenten lifted her head, only to find herself gazing into his pearly white eyes. She grinned and rubbed her nose against his, planting a small kiss on his lips. Tenten, noticing the butterknife lying unsuspectingly on the wooden floor a few feet away, helped Neji to his feet. But before she could pick up her "Ultimate Weapon of Disaster", Neji spun her around and locked his lips with hers.
Maybe a butterknife battle wasn't such a bad idea after all...
