Tenten had just woke up and had training with Neji. As she reached the training grounds she saw Neji. "Moring Neji" she said. "Good morning lets train" he said before walking and getting in a ready's stance. Tenten did as well.

~Hour later~

"Ahh" she breathed in the clearing they took a short break. "That wa-"" Tenten!" yelled Neji as he grabbed her and pushed up against a tree with his body, I kukai landed right were she was. "What the..." he said in shock. He looked down at Tenten. "Tenten?...Tenten" he said. She didn't respond so he positioned her on his back and started to run to his house. While he was walking running home it started to rain. When he got home he was soaked and so was Tenten. He gently layed her down on his bed then he went to change. When he came out Tenten was still passed out. "Tenten.." he called. She didn't respond so he gently took off her top to reveal a white tank top.

He set it on the table when he heard a moan. He turned around to reveal Tenten trying to get up, she quickly stumbled. She had braced herself for the painful fall but it never came. She had a strong pair of arms around her, when she looked up she saw Neji, " N-Neji were am I?". "You at my house" he stated. "Why?How?"she asked. "I saw a kukai coming at you so to stop it from hitting you, I pushed you to a tree and you got knocked unconscious" he said starring into her eyes. "So it was an accident..." she mumbled under her breath. "What was that?" asked Neji. "Nothing!" Tenten said blankly. " You said something, what did you say?" she didnt respond. "Tenten..." he said dangerously. "Neji.." she said venomously. "Tenten what the hell did you say!" he yelled. "I said so it was an accident!" she yelled back. "Wait, you think I would do that to you on purpose?" he said with wide eyes. She turned her head away from him, " I don't know..". He put his hand on her cheek to make her face him. "I will never hurt you on purpose, I will protect you.." he said dead serious. "You don't need too, I can protect myself there isn't a need for you to protect me.." she said in a calm, low voice. "Tenten I will always protect you, I know you can defend yourself but...I wont let anyone hurt you" he said protectively. "Why...why would you protect me.." she said. 'Because...I care about you and I will protect you even if you don't need it" he said looking at her.
