For Ten-ten's sake

The next day, they were all still on their way back to Konoha. Lee and Ami were behind while Neji and Ten-ten were on front. Both couples were having fun, chatting.
"Hey Neji!" Ami called.
Neji didn't reply but glanced at her for 2 seconds to signify that he was listening.
"You guys finally tied the knot?" Ami continued.
Neji didn't answer but quickly turned his head away just in time as a light shade of pink rose to his cheeks…Too bad Ten-ten saw it… Ten-ten poked his cheeks, giggled, and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "You're blushing."
At this, all hell froze over. Did Hyuuga Neji just blush??? Neji quickly composed himself and the light tint of pink quickly disappeared just as quickly as it had come.
"You can continue moving now, guys." Ten-ten said, looking at the two in the back temporarily frozen in shock….
"Oh." Lee said, resuming his chat with Ami as if nothing had happened.
"Wait." Neji said, signaling them to stop. He activated his Byakuugan and scanned the area. He was sure he sensed something. Bingo! A few meters, he spotted a few rogue nins.
"5 rogue nins heading our way. They're not really a threat except one. Lee and Ami, take the two in the left. Ten-ten, take the two in the right. Leave the leader to me." Neji wasn't concerned on giving Ten-ten two opponents. He saw that their charka was still weak and hardly under control. Besides, he knew that Ten-ten was strong.
Soon, the rogue nins came into view. And when they did, they were ready. Ami and Lee charged forward with just a kunai in hand. They knew their opponents were weak and could be easily defeated.
Neji and the leader simply had a glaring contest as a greeting.
And Ten-ten waited for the remaining two to charge on her which they did. She was waiting for the right time to throw her senbon which was lethal enough to kill them immediately. They were now 20 feet away...15 feet away…10 feet…but before Ten-ten could throw the senbon, a piercing pain arose from her stomach and she curled up and vomited all over the two rogue nins.
"We haven't even punched you yet and you're already puking shit all over us." The shorter guy complained.
"And what's worse is, this isn't your blood, it's your breakfast!" the tougher one complained.
Neji glanced at Ten-ten to see her curled up, face down in the ground, arms around her stomach while the two threw blows at her. "Ten-ten!" he cried worriedly. What was wrong with her? She never failed. He knew it was too early to bring her on a mission! He threw two kunai on the two rogue nins who were beating her up and glanced at Lee and Ami who were not yet done with their opponents. He glanced at his opponent who was smirking at him, silently challenging him. What was he to do??? He calmed his mind and tried to think rationally. But the problem was, he couldn't think rationally when Ten-ten was in danger. He jumped on front of Ten-ten without thinking and began fighting all three at once; the two opponents of Ten-ten, and the leader. He was earning a lot of bruises fast. Ami and Lee just finished off their opponents and came to aid him. About 10 minutes passed when they finished off the remaining three.
"Ten-ten, what happened?" Ami said, sitting beside Ten-ten who was resting with her back against a nearby tree. She didn't know Ten-ten much but judging by what she heard from Rock Lee, Ten-ten was supposed to be tough and never failed on her targets. 'The Weapon Mistress' that's what everyone called her.
"N-Nothing…I-I'm fine now…" Ten-ten said, standing up.
"Ok. Let's move." Neji said. (Although he was secretly VERY worried.) All three of them jumped up a tree but when Ten-ten tried to follow, she lost her balance and fell.
"Ten-ten!" Neji said, looking horrified as he caught her in his arms. "What's wrong with you?" he scolded.
"N-Nothing! I'm fine. I was just a bit distracted. You can put me down now." Ten-ten said.
"No!" Neji said firmly as he jumped up the tree and continued jumping from tree to tree with Ten-ten in his arms. "I couldn't trust you with yourself anymore." He said, glancing at her face. Ten-ten could see that he was very worried and she found it pointless to argue. So she just closed her eyes to rest. And soon, she was snoring softly…
xXx
Something was wrong with Ten-ten. He knew it. He willed his legs to go faster although it was hurting because of the extra burden in his arms. But he didn't mind it. He had to get to Konoha fast. He looked at the sleeping figure in his arms and planted a kiss on her forehead. 'For Ten-ten's sake' he thought.
Finally finished! I know…deep… T-T. Tell me if it was too deep. Anyway, what's happened to Ten-ten? Stay tune, for the next chapter; which will come up in a few short weeks. Hey, don't blame me if it is rather hard to continue a story that was made by someone else. At least it's being continued, right? Right? Although… I will update sooner if reviews will come…hmm….
Anyway, I take this opportunity to advertise my close friend's fics. Check out her profile. Her Pen Name is: CherryBlossom555. It's deep AND hilarious!
