At the Hyuuga Compound

Bam!

Neji hated it when Hinata had sleepovers. Her guests always got wild and out of control, especially one brunette on his squad.

"No. I need that to function properly!" That voice unmistakingly came from Sakura.

"No you don't! You can survive without it!" And of course that was Tenten's voice.

"I said 'no', now stop!"

"You're no fun at all,…hey, Hinata?"

"W-what?"

"Do you think that maybe I could-"

"No."

"…"

The silence was ominous through the house, Neji grew uncomfortable in his seat in the living room. They were too quiet, way too quiet for Tenten to be in the same house.

Crash!

No, they're still there.

"Tenten!''

"What?"

"Why did you just tie Sakura up?'' Ino asked with caution dripping from her voice.

"…well, she wouldn't stop squirming."

"Mmmmumm ummnhr!" Apparently she also gagged her.

Neji sat in the living room knowing that tomorrow would be even more chaotic than today, because tomorrow was when his guests would be arriving.

Haishi told his daughter and nephew that he would be going on a long trip to take care of some unfinished business with the land of Tea. He also said he would be gone for the whole week, and they had two choices; they could either go with him, or invite a few friends over. The reason the option was even given was in hope that with more people there, the house would be safer.

Hinata said that she would rather stay here with her friends, and Neji just said what ever Hinata decides he would do as well.

His friends would be arriving tomorrow for the simple reason that he wanted to give the girls time so settle in.

"Aaaaaaaaah!" Crash!

'What the hell?' Neji looked up the stairs in the direction of the sound. He saw Tenten bounding down the stairs with little grace.

"Neji!" She ran at him, then cowering behind him where he sat. The prodigy looked over his shoulder, quirked an eye brow, and shifted his gaze to the stairs. Temari was on top of them laughing.

"Tenten, I was just kidding." She barely got the words out between giggles.

Tenten sat on her knees behind Neji, hands resting on his shoulders as she peered around his hair.

"Hmmm, for some strange reason, I find it hard to believe you." The sarcasm was unmistakable.

Temari started down the stairs, while Tenten searched for something to throw. Her eyes desperately searched her surroundings, until she saw a pillow a few feet away from her. She lunged for it, grabbed it, stood up, and showing off her knew found weapon.

Temari stopped her advances. Until she also found a new found weapon, one of the many pony-tail holders in her pocket. She loaded it on her thumb and held the other end with her other hand's thumb and index finger.

"Now, come back up stairs." Temari took another step forward, Tenten took a step back.

"I will not, not until you swear not to do that!" Neji had no idea what they were talking about. He only knew that Tenten didn't want to, and refused to do it.

Temari looked over at Neji, "You're probably real confused about this aren't you?"

Neji simply nodded once. He was confused about this. The only other time that he could remember Tenten simply refusing something was when Lady Tsunade told her if she accepted a certain mission she would have to wear a kimono. Tsunade never again even summoned Tenten for those types of missions.

Temari looked at Tenten, she was fully prepared to attack her if she tried anything. With a sigh she transferred her gaze to the young Hyuuga boy in front of her.

"The thing is, we all wanted to go to the hot springs in the morning, and she was fine with that, but Sakura and Ino told her they were gunna push her in the joint bathing room. Then she spazzed out and ran down here"

Yep, that sounded just like Tenten.

"Tenten, swear no ones going to push you into the joint bathing room tomorrow."

Tenten started lowering her weapon, "alright, but if you do, I swear all of you will be bald and covered in mustard when you wake up."

There was no doubt that she would back up that threat. Tenten placed the pillow on the floor, and slowly advanced towards Temari. They soon went back up the stairs where the others were.

Neji started to meditate, hoping the promise Temari made was enough to keep Tenten under control for a few minutes. Unfortunately for him, it didn't.

A scream sounded, signaling to Neji something was wrong. He stood from his seat and started for the stairs. Once at the top he went for Hinata's bedroom door, knocking and waiting for someone to come let him in.

Ino was the one to arrive with his entrance, "Oh…hey Neji. What brings you all the way up here?"

"A scream."

"Oh that. Well you see the thing is, I can't let you in."

"And why not?"

"Um…you see…there's this strickly enforced rule."

"Which would be?"

Tenten peeked around the side of the door and smiled, "You need the password, silly." Tenten nodded through her explanation.

"Who created the password?"

"Me." Tenten's eyes lit up, knowing that her password was one hundred percent random.

"Squirrel flavored pop tarts."

"Damn. How'd you know?"

"Let me in."

"But, you cheated."

"No I didn't, know either tell me who screamed and why, or let me in."

"…I have a perfectly good explanation."

"Let's hear this explanation of yours."

"…"

"…" Neji quirked his eyebrow.

"A magical flying monkey on an elephant came in through the window and caught Sakura slightly on fire." She smiled and quickly started closing the door, Neji shoved his foot in the door's path forcing it to stop immediately. Tenten sighed in defeat and opened the door to her lavender eyed teammate.

Sure enough Sakura's clothes were burnt. Neji turned to Hinata, knowing she would at least give him an honest explanation.

"Hinata?"

"Y-yes?"

"What happened?" The look in his eyes told her that he wasn't in the mood for lies today.

Hinata sighed in the same way Tenten had done when Neji made her open the door. "Well, Tenten was trying to come up with a prank paper bomb. She lessened the explosion of it, and kinda decided to t-test it on Sakura."

"I see." He turned to Tenten and held out his hand, she removed her scrolls and any other weapons she had hidden. Once she had them all she handed them to Neji.

"Honestly Tenten, I knew you were childish, but I fail to see how you could set your friend on fire."

She looked away, mumbling a silent 'Next time, it'll be you.' Once The weapons were in his hands, Neji left.

Tenten slowly looked at Sakura, who was glaring.

"I'm sorry."

"This is my favorite dress!"

"Oh come on, you have like fifty more just like it!"

"So, this one was still my favorite…till you set in on fire."

"I said 'sorry'."

"I know."

"Do you forgive me?" Tenten said raising her eyebrows. Her hair was coming out of it's original style, but she didn't seem to notice, or if she did notice she just simply didn't care. Sakura's dress was burned to a golden brown. Temari was laughing. Ino was in the corner praying she would be the next prank subject. Hinata was comforting everyone in everyway she could. And tomorrow would be twice as bad.

Well as you can see this is the end of chapter one =)
