I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Neji starred in shock at the small curvy female in front of him. She had long dark curly hair that fell to almost her waist, soft cocoa colored skin, with a small birthmark on her chin that resembled a jelly bean. While he was not normally attracted to any females but Ten-ten, he found himself wanted to run his finger through Alyssa's hair. He examined her features intently, and watched the playful smile on her face. He growled lowly as he fought the desire to snatch her to him and kiss the smug look off her face.

"I know that you are not used to being beaten by a girl, Neji-san, but you-" her challenging words were cut off as Neji's lips crashed down onto hers. At first, she struggled against him, but then she gave in to her own growing desire. Since she had first met the handsome young ninja, she had been drawn to him. His soft long coffee colored hair, his beautiful white eyes, his strong leanly muscled body. Of course, once she realized how arrogant and stuck up he was, she had ignored her attraction, but it was under the surface of her interactions with him. Apparently, he felt the same way.

Alyssa was in the village as a participate in the first ever Ninja Skills Challenge, an event that had been the brain child of the new Leaf village Hokage, Naruto Uzamaki. He had encouraged all the hidden villages to sent their ninjas to a series of contests of skill. It was all for fun and to encourage the bonds of the different villages. Of course, it had quickly turned into a festival of sorts, and the contests themselves were heavily bet on. The leaders of the countries got in on the action, and there were several 'friendly' wagers between rivaling villages.

She and Neji had been pitted against each other in several contests, this last one being a kunai accuracy test. The speed of each throw was recorded, as well as the measurements of how close each tip was to the bulls' eye. In all the other contests, Neji had proven the more skilled of the two. He had triggered her spirit of competition, and she had grown frustrated with his smug arrogance. Which what had led her to taunt him after she won this contest by a tenth of a centimeter. Which had led him to kiss her for some unknown reason, not that she was complaining. Nope, definitely not complaining.

Alyssa went up on her tiptoes and returned his kiss as she wrapped her arms around him. Neji groaned and pulled her tighter, tangling his fingers in her silky curls. She moaned as the kiss got even deeper, and her awareness focused solely on the sexy man devouring her. Suddenly, she felt Neji stiffen as he slowly released her and backed away. Alyssa's eyes opened and she almost laughed at the panic on his normally stoic face. Standing closely beside him, her kunai held firmly against his groin, was Neji's girlfriend Ten-ten.

"Care to explain this Neji Hyuuga?" Ten-ten inquired angrily as she glared up at him. A bead of sweat rolled down his face as the kunai pressed in closer, and he motioned almost imperceptivity to Alyssa to leave. She smirked at him and blew a tiny kiss before turning on her heels to leave before Ten-ten turned on her too. Ah well, I'll catch up with him later, if he survives this, she giggled to herself.
