"Please, Neji! Please!" Tenten begged while she clasped her two hands together and made that hideous puppy face. Whilst, Neji tried his best to just ignore her as he walked. But Tenten was in a persistent mood today.

"Oh don't be such a bastard, Neji. Come on!"

Neji glared at her in response, finally stopping his little walk. "Why do I have to be the one who'll pretend to be a close friend of yours when Lee can do it?"

Tenten scoffed. "Ew! Gimme a break, Neji, I don't want to barf."

Neji smirked. "So, what brings you to this idea?"

"Well, I noticed Sasuke ignoring me occasionally"

Neji raised a brow. "And that bothers you?" He asked still with a calm face on. Tenten rolled her eyes, "well yeah, genius!"

Neji smirked and said, "all right." He agreed as he witnessed Tenten with that particular look again. The look that says: OMG, NEJI! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

From too much glee, she jumped and embraced him tight. "Arigato, Neji." She failed to realize how uncomfortable Neji got when she did that. His whole body tensed and his face heated to a bright shade of pink! He stood, still deciding on what to do.

Meanwhile, Tenten's expression changed to something that seemed like a depressed but sincere one. Her cuddle tightened as she rested her head on his shoulder.

She felt something strange in her. Something she felt a long time ago. Something she felt only for Neji and no one else.

Unfortunately, Tenten got back to her senses. She pulled away and smiled shyly at Neji. "Gomen. I was just so happy." Tenten grinned broadly. "So perfectly happy!"

Neji yawned as he sat on his wooden stool in this particular restaurant called, Ichiraku. Tenten was peeking outside, waiting for his boyfriend, Sasuke, to appear so she can finally show her sign of suspicion. "Dang, where is he?" She mumbled once in a while.

Abruptly, she saw Sasuke with Sakura! About time.

She jumped beside Neji and caressed his arm. "Oh Ne-jii!! You are so funny! Gosh, I can't believe it! OMG!! You're soooo awesome. Giggles." She acted, deliberately turning her voice to some high-pitched shit.

Sasuke halted slightly, and turned to the Ichiraku ramen stand. Tenten giggled by her self-proclaimed victory.

"Sasuke-kun? You coming?" Sakura called.

In reply, Sasuke nodded once and walked away.

Tenten peeked outside and cursed simultaneously. "That worthless son of a bitch! When I get near him I'll wring his scrawny neck! I'll skin him alive and stab mercilessly that bitch! Drat! How can he ignore me? Me?! Of all the people, me?! Oh big mistake, Uchiha Sasuke! Big mistake. Wait till… Grr! No, I mean, GRRRRRR!! That asshole! That bastard! Shit! Fuck. Those effing, backstabbing idiots!"

Before Tenten could continue her long speech concerning her hatred, Neji decided to talk. "Shut up and breathe."

Tenten inhaled and exhaled deeply, her eyes piercing everything she saw.

"Look, Tenten, will you think for a moment?"

She narrowed her eyes. "What does that mean?"

"Where do you think would they go?"

Tenten gasped. She punched her left palm by her right fist. "I…" Pause. "I don't know."

Neji sweat dropped against his will.

"I was almost impressed by that look of yours." He cleared his throat and continued. "Well, according to my always-right calculations, they shall be heading on a…"

"GOD DAMN IT, NEJI! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT THEY'RE THERE?!" Tenten screeched, her face flushed from embarrassment. "Well it was worth a shot." Neji defended.

"Idiot! That perverted guy thought… something… hideous!"

"I tried to tell him we're not there to rent a room!"

"That's because people only go there when they want to! And with that nasty grin of that guy, he thought we have… perverted things on our minds!"

Neji rubbed his chin playfully, "strange, but I really do think they're there."

"Great! So what do you want us to do? Check every room?"

Neji blinked. "Is it all right with you?"

"HELL NO!"

"Why? A motel seems to be the place that they'll go to."

"You and your stupid calculations!"

Neji decided to not answer her and instead they walked, thinking of some place that they could find Sakura and Sasuke. While they were walking silently.

"I'VE GOT IT!"

Neji almost jumped! But noo, he shouldn't act OOCish since that would be so un-cool. Heh heh.

"They went to Ichiraku!"

Neji slapped his forehead, but that was hard ain't it? Since his protector always covered his wide forehead. "We were just there, Tenten."

"Mou, maybe they were misleading us! You said so yourself. Your calculations are always right! But my drop dead gorgeous and oh so witty boyfriend mislead us, making us believe that they went to a motel!"

Neji cupped his hands in his pockets. He was afraid. Afraid that she would notice his trembling fists (Oh I love writing this fic). "… Okay, let's check."

"So, if we sneak out without being noticed we could—" Sakura's statement was cut short when Tenten suddenly came in.

"AHA! I KNEW IT! How dare you two talk behind my back! YOU HORRIBLE MORTALS!" Tenten screamed. Neji followed her with his two hands covering his ears.

All of a sudden, Neji covered her mouth and sighed. "Don't mind her. She just bumped her head."

Tenten protested in a muffled kind of… way.

Tenten glared at Neji as he dragged her to a chair. He read her defiant stare and he knew perfectly what it said. "What are you doing here again?" Neji asked.

"Like what a normal person would do in an eatery." Sasuke answered coldly.

"I meant, other than that." He stated and added silently, "asshole."

"We were planning what we would do to the mission that Kakashi assigned us." Sakura replied with a sweet smile. Tenten shot her a cold stare. She dared herself to raise a certain finger that would be very, very, VERY bad.

Neji noticed this and he warned her. "Don't even contemplate." He whispered.

Tenten stood there in silence, a forehead protector wrapped over her lips. Of course, Neji had to do that to shut her up because… who knows what she'll say.

Tenten untied her forehead protector and strapped it on her forehead (which she could've done earlier but she knew she wasn't really that mad.)

"Mou, Neji," she called. Neji turned back and saw her with an unusual expression. "Have you noticed something earlier?"

Neji raised his brow and wondered what she was talking about. "Something?"

Tenten suddenly made a clone and that clone transformed its appearance to a seductive looking woman. "Okay, Neji, flirt with this bitch."

Neji didn't actually know how to flirt. So, he just neared the clone slightly, a slight tinge of pink stained his pale cheeks. By this, Tenten fumed up and her aura became deadly!

Before she can do something bad, Neji tapped the clone and it disappeared. "What was that for anyway?"

Tenten smiled. "Reality check?"

"Reality check? Waaait a minute, what does that mean?"

"Nothing." Tenten answered quickly. Too quickly. She decided to walk away after saying a small 'bye'. However, Neji interfered. "Wait," he called.

Tenten did not turn back. For she feared that if she does, she may find herself falling for him once more.

Finding herself being hurt again by his inconsiderate words. She was just a sparring partner, after all.

"May I ask you one question?" Neji started.

She wasn't really that important to him, was she? That was why she decided to move on. And when, she got the attention of Uchiha Sasuke, she swiftly chose him instead because somehow, she wanted to find happiness, too.

"Tenten…"

…

"Do you love him?"

And her answer was…
