Waking Up to You
"Tenten get up." Neji ordered not even looking at the exhausted girl leaning against a tree for support. They had meet up about three to four hours earlier and had continuously trained since that point. Tenten was running low of weapons so she had to use hand to hand combat moves which she was at a disadvantage since she was going against Neji Hyuuga, the prodigy that controlled the kekkei genkai the Byakugan.
"We're not done yet." He said plainly not even caring about the condition of his female teammate.
"Damn it, Neji hold on. Just give me a moment to rest." Tenten shouted back as her body slide down to lay more onto the tree. She was tired. Most of her chakra had been used to summon her weapons and to make her movement's faster just to keep up with Neji's. Not to mention that Neji had closed off a few of her chakra holes already. Neji slowly approached her and looked down.
"Get up." He ordered again. All Tenten did was look up and glared at his persistence. She was tired and no matter how much she wanted to help him train for his fight against Naruto tomorrow, she was just too damn tired at the moment to move much of her body.
"Weak." Neji stated before turned to stand in the same spot before he moved toward her. That one word sparked something inside of her. She could feel the anger in her arise and her fist clenched. Tenten slowly got up and moved toward him. Neji didn't move back or do anything, he had a feeling of what she was going to do and didn't care. Tenten raised her fist and was about to strike him when his hand came up and caught the attack. His fingers curled around her fist and held on before moving his face closer.
"Is that all you have?" He whispered before Tenten withdrew her hand back to her side. Her bangs shadowed her eyes but Neji could see the anger that was burning in them, even without the Byakugan.
"HOW DARE YOU?! I'm the one helping you train everyday and this is how you feel. You can train on your own for all I care." Tenten shouted raising her head up sharply as she shouted out her frustration. Then walked right passed him in the direction of her house. Neji continued to stand there unfazed and continued his training on his own.
Tenten kept to a low speed as she continued her way back home. Her strength was mostly used up and her body felt as though it would just stop and drop to the ground any moment but she kept on walking. Her cloths were tattered and dirty and she couldn't wait to change into a new set. She didn't even care about the weapons left behind scattered on the field with her two scrolls carelessly left unwrapped along the grassy floor.
She unlocked the door, took off her shoes and made her way into bed, not caring that the sheets would become covered in the filth and soil she brought in on her cloths. All she needed was some sleep and just some rest to regain some energy. Her eyes closed on contact with the feel of the soft bed beneath her. The covers acted as warmth as she plunged into a world of darkness, with only one thought in her mind.
Will I always return to bed this way?
The sunlight was pushing its way through her eye lids which caused her to groan. The warmth she felt was to alluring to leave. Something was against her that was the source of her warmth. On instinct she moved closer and tried to snuggle into it. Must be one of her pillows she thought before something wrapped themselves around her.
Tenten's eyes opened wide as she felt something slither around her waist and looked up to see the chest of someone, not anyone but none other then Neji.
"EHHHH!" She shrieked seeing Neji sleeping in the same bed as her. Quickly raising her arms, she pushed away from him and got onto her feet, only to notice that she was wearing only a long shirt that reached just up to her knees.
Neji groaned at the sudden loud shriek. He was used to getting up early but today was one of those relaxing days for him. He moved to a sitting position on the bed and looked over at Tenten not in complete awareness.
"What is it? Did you have a bad dream?" He asked gently as he slipped out of bed. He was only wearing loose pair of shorts which caused Tenten to tense at the sight of the half naked Hyuuga. Neji made his way over to her and laid a hand on her forehead. "Are you ill?"
Tenten stood still, Neji was taller then she remembered and he looked slightly different. He was more muscular, but not too muscular, just a good balance to put him at his peak in handsomeness.
"No, you're not warm." Neji said answering his own question, but there was a faint red blush across Tenten's face. He took a step back and turned to reach for his black pants that were folded and placed onto a draw at the end of the bed. He slipped then on and took out his white Hyuuga robes. He wrapped the rode around him and moved back to stand in front of her. He took hold one of her wrist and leaned in to give her a quick kiss before exiting the room. Tenten continued to stand in the same spot, shocked at the events that had taken place.
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" She shouted franticly trying to sort out what Neji had done. She ran out of the room to catch him and demand an explanation, not even noticing what she still had on. She ran down the halls and saw him talking to a lady with long dark blue hair who was slightly tall and had a gentle face.
"NEJI I WANT AN EXLPINATION ON WHAT'S GOING ON!" Tenten shouted as both Neji and the lady turn to see where the commotion had com from. The house echoed with her shouts but no one in the household seemed to really care.
"T-Tenten-san." The lady stuttered seeing the shouts. That voice sounded familiar, like someone she knew. Then it hit her, the lady was Hinata, at least she was pretty sure it was Hinata.
"Excuse us Hinata-sama." Neji said and moved over to Tenten who was confused by Hinata's change.
"Alright Neji-niisan." Hinata waved toward Tenten before leaving. Neji took hold of Tenten's wrist and brought her back into his bedroom and closed the door.
"Hey what's going on Neji? Why did Hinata change her type of clothing and grow so tall?" Tenten said pulling her wrist out of Neji's hold.
"I don't see why you're surprised now; you've already spent a whole day with her yesterday and didn't say a thing." Neji said crossing his arms.
"What do you mean?!" She shouted. "I was training with you yesterday to help you prepare for the fight against Naruto."
"That fight was ten years ago Tenten." Neji said raising a brow confused at what Tenten was trying to say.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN TEN YEARS AGO?!" Tenten shouted causing Neji to wince since he was standing only a few inches away from her.
"Would you please stop shouting?" Neji asked before placing a hand on her cheek.
"Are you sure you're feeling well?" He asked concerned which was very unlike him considering all the years she had known his attitude. Ever since the beginning of the academy days, he was cold and uncaring so the switch in his voice was foreign to her.
"I really don't know." She whispered before he leaned in to give her a simple kiss again.
