Chapter 1
Clashes could be heard from the training ground in the forest where two people from team 10 were training. Neji and Tenten could often be found training there it had become a habit in their genin days. Despite the fact that they were supposed to be a team they had always ended up working as two teams, one with Gai and Lee and the other with Neji and Tenten. If needed they could work as a very function 4 man team but this had always seemed more practical.
"It looks like we've tied Neji" the brown eyes girl announced and put the kunai she was holding away and moved to start picking up the other weapons. The two seventeen-year-olds busied themselves with picking up the weapons that they had used. They had been tying a lot lately but she suspected that Neji could beat her if he was determined to do so.
After the training area was cleared of all their weapons Neji and Tenten started to make there way down the path the apartment building where they both lived. They had moved into their apartments a few months after they turned 17 and only lived a few doors down from each other.
Neji stopped at her door and turned around to say goodnight to Tenten and smirked when he saw that Tenten had continued onto his apartment door and was pulling out her key for his apartment.
She turned back to see why he had paused and smiled "What," and swung his door open. Once again he smirked knowing exactly what she was after, apparently his cooking was better than hers and he often ended up cooking her dinner after training.
He never minded making her supper, it didn't even bother him that she was always letting herself into his apartment, no her doing that could never bother him. If anyone else did that he was sure that he would snap and yell at the offending person but not at Tenten, never at Tenten.
It had occurred to him a while ago that he had a soft spot for the bun haired girl, though he was never sure exactly what he felt for her. It had certainly grown past a brotherly feeling, was he perhaps in love with her? He thought about that for a moment then let it go he had no clue what he felt about her or what he wanted there relationship to be.
"Neji?"
Shocked out of his thoughts he over at where she was sitting at his dinner table.
"Should I set the table or will you be standing there all evening lost in your thoughts?"
He let a soft smile grace his usually calm features, "sure, do you want chicken or a roast?"
She scrunched her nose up at the idea of a roast; she was too hungry to wait till a roast was done, "chicken a roast would take to long."
With a nod he got to work cooking the chicken breasts and vegetables, while she came into the kitchen and grabbed the plates and utensils.
"hmmm…you know we haven't been on any missions for a bit."
"hn."
"Lee and Gai-sensei are on a mission, aren't they?"
"I believe so, yes."
"I just think its odd that it's been almost a month since either of us has gone on a mission."
"Konoha doesn't have a lot of shinobi to spare so one of us should receive a mission soon."
"Have you noticed how Hokage-sama seems to pair us up most of the time for missions now?"
"Yes, she must have noticed that we seem to work well together."
Tenten rolled her eyes at that, "we have been training together since we were twelve if we didn't work together it would be a miracle."
Neji smiled too; when he had been first assigned to Team 10 he had wondered if there was someone out there just wanting a laugh, Lee and Gai were loud and obnoxious making odd goals for themselves. He had tried to avoid training with them as much as possible so he had often sought out Tenten to train and he had discovered that it was much easier to train with her that with some people that he had trained with in his life.
The beeping from the oven and the smell of the chicken told him that supper was done and he carried everything over to the table so they could eat.
They ate in a comfortable silence that was sometime broken by Tenten pointing something out or telling him the latest gossip.
After they were done Tenten cleared the table and washed the dishes. She stayed for a little bit after that talking to Neji then made her way back over to her own apartment.
