A/N: Okay, my first fic of all time. I had this posted on a while ago, but then I took it off, just because it wasn't going very smoothly. Now, I have two ultra-awesome betas!! Thanks so much to Your Existence and Silent Screams! Also, this chapter is dedicated to ImmortalSasuke, who also gave me a whole bunch of help!

This is a very ANGST and M fic, please understand that. Rape, Lemons, and so much more . . . Also, please note that this fic will probably end up rather long.

Chapter 1: The Third Beautiful Green Beast of Konoha

Tenten stood at the door to Neji's room, hands poised to knock. Why on earth was she nervous? So what if Neji asked her to meet him at the Hyuga Compound after her training with Lee? It was no big deal . . .

Big deal? . . . but it isa big deal! Okay, okay, calm down. Would I be nervous if Lee asked to talk to me?

Hell no! Her self confident inner Tenten snapped at her.

But, then again . . . Lee's . . . well . . . Lee . . . and Neji is . . . well . . . cool and a genius . . .

And you almost killed him when you and Lee were sparring.

She felt her self writhe in guilt I thought he was Lee. It wasn't like I knew it was him.

It' okay. Besides, you didn't actually almost kill him. Just almost castrated him, that's all . . .

Tenten tried to shake off her inner self and frowned as it continued to ramble. On the other hand, to him, it's probably the most important part of his whole anatomy.

She blushed as the thought about what had happened during that sparring match earlier that day. . .

"All right! Lee! Tenten!" Gai snapped at the two aforesaid ninja, "You have half an hour for a sparring match before Neji shows up! Do not kill your opponent. It's not very nice. Other than that, have fun and SHOW YOUR YOUTHFULNESS!!" Lee looked pumped up and Tenten looked more than a little annoyed.

"Start!" Gai snapped, and the two took on defensive stances.

Lee started to attack the girl, putting her on defensive as she dodged his punches and kicks.

"Leaf Hurricane!" Tenten jumped up to avoid Lee's kick, drawing out two kunai and holding them in a defensive stance. She ducked one of Lee's punches, but wasn't quite expecting a kick. She skidded several feet before recovering. Lee took this moment to hide himself in the surrounding shrubbery.

Lee crouched in the tree, looking for an opening in Tenten's defense.

I must use the element of surprise.

Her weapons can be used in close and far range attacks, but you only have close range attacks.

Right . . . so, I must get her down before she is able to use her weapons.

Tenten stood shakily, panting as she gripped her large scroll. Her eyes darted around, scanning the area around the clearing, trying to sense Lee's chakra presence.

Dammit! Where the hell is he? She gripped a kunai in her hand, ready to defend herself in case a certain green spandex sporting teammate of hers decides to pop up for a surprise attack. Tenten steeled herself as a rustle was heard behind her.

"Ha!" She threw the kunai and whipped out several shuriken from a pocket in her Chinese styled shirt. She threw the stars, which whizzed through the air at the intended target, as she whipped around to face her attacker. She froze, not knowing if she should laugh, cry, or die of embarrassment at the sight which beheld her. Terrified white eyes started back at her as she did all three. Ninja stars pinned Neji Hyuga's arms and legs to a tree and the kunai was embedded in the tree in between his legs, dangerously close to a certain area in his anatomy. He stared at her, wild eyed, and then down to the kunai, and gulped audibly. Suddenly, in a confusion of green spandex and orange leg warmers, Lee and Gai fell out of a tree, right beside Tenten, laughing uproariously as tears ran down their faces.

"Let us . . . " Gai gasped as he tried to catch his breath, "Applaud Tenten for her perfect aim . . . " He doubled over, laughing uncontrollably.

"Her . . . " Lee held his sides, which ached from the laughter, "Almost perfect aim."

Gai looked over at the fuming Neji, who was being held to the tree by the weapons lodged in his clothing, and gulped, "We shouldn't ever piss Tenten off, she could castrate us easily."

Tenten looked a bit peeved as she blushed, not quite knowing if she was just complimented or insulted. She stalked past the two fashion disasters to her immobilized teammate. She rolled her eyes as Neji glared at her, trying to protect his shredded dignity. She removed the shuriken from his pant legs and reached down to remove the kunai when he struggled, not completely trusting her. He accidentally brushed his crotch against her hand as she yelped, jumping back three feet. She glared at him, pulling out the kunai and the other two ninja stars brutally, which caused them to "accidentally" rip huge gaping holes in his clothing.

Gai and Lee, who just got a hold on their laughter, were forced into side splitting laughter again at the sight of Neji's shredded Hyuga robes, which didn't quite cover the necessary places. Neji growled, trying to cover himself up, which only served to increase the hilarity of the moment for the two. Tenten blushed, looking up at Neji's face, "You need a change of clothes?" He scowled at her, making her whip out a kunai. He stopped automatically. He didn't want another close call with her weapons. Tenten stared at the Hyuga, "Would you rather wear my red pants and white shirt or a suit of green spandex?" she asked him. Neji automatically conjured up an image of Tenten minus said clothing and turned the brightest possible hue of red. It was as if he was choking down a spoonful of the Curry of Life. Then, he quickly recoiled at the thought of Gai or Lee wearing only a vest and legwarmers. That thought almost made him puke and turned him the weirdest shade of white, then a green which I'm pretty sure was not natural . . .

"Oh, please," she scoffed, "Not the ones we're wearing. Spares. My red pants and white Chinese shirt or Lee's suit. Take your pick."

He gingerly fingered the clothes she pulled out of the packs, going behind a bush to change into Tenten's wine red bottoms and white top. When he came out, embarrassed, Gai and Lee almost blew up. The pants, which fit Tenten fine, were too short, not to mention too small, for Neji. They looked like skin tight red leggings that pressed a little too tightly on his . . . ahem . . . making them stand out a bit too much. Obviously, these were female pants. Then, the top didn't even reach his navel. The only place not tight was the chest, which was too loose. It was rather disturbing, really. Needless to say, Neji Hyuga did not look very nice in a mid-rift shirt and ultra tight capris. Just . . . not right!

He grabbed the green suit and went back to the bush. He changed into Lee's clothes and felt very, very uncomfortable. He stepped out, and this time even Tenten joined in on the laughing. Neji looked, annoyed, at his teammates and sensei as they laughed at him. Well, he did look rather dumb in the green clothes. He thought about it

Should I wear this? And be laughed at by everyone?

Or should I wear Tenten's clothes?

He shivered at the thought of the gossip that could come from that. There was no way to tell his friends how he ended up wearing Tenten's clothes without telling the whole story. In the process, injuring his pride and, not to mention, his ego. Not that they would believe him, anyways. They would automatically jump to conclusions. However, it's not like he could get away with wearing his tattered robes in public. Not without getting arrested. He sighed, he had forgotten that Lee and Tenten were sparring today. Team Gai was going to celebrate their A ranked mission's success at a barbecue shop. There was no way in hell he was going to be seen in public wearing Lee's clothes.

"Um, I think I'll pass on going out to eat," he winced at the clothes, "I don't think I could be seen in public wearing this."

Then, there was a kunai pressed to his balls. Well, then. A little humiliation was okay, as long as it was a little humiliation with his balls intact.

An hour later, he wasn't so sure. Neji had planned to eat as quickly as possible and go home as soon as possible so that he could change back into his normal attire. Then, as soon as they entered the restaurant, he knew it wasn't going to happen. Instead of leading them to a booth, the waiter led them to a back room. With a sinking feeling, Neji heard a certain blond hyperactive knucklehead.

Please let this be a competition between Gai and Kakashi. Please let this be a competition between Gai and Kakashi. Please let this . . .

Another voice interrupted his thoughts, "Can we please start eating already, Asuma-sensei? They are never going to get here!"

Oh shit! This is great! Great! JUST DAMN GREAT!!

"Akamaru! Drop that now! You aren't supposed to eat that, no . . . Akamaru!!"

Why today of all days??

"Hey! Ino-pig! What do you mean? I'm fat?"

"You're not fat Sakura."

"You're just ugly."

"Hn."

"Sakura. Stop strangling Sai."

"But . . . Kakashi-sensei . . . "

"Kakashi-senpai is right. Sakura, let go of Sai."

"Puppyface Jutsu will not work on me, Sakura. It won't work on Yamato either."

"Asuma-sensei, how did you drag us all here? This is so troublesome."

"He just wants to see Kurenai-sensei!"

"I can't eat this! I'm on a diet."

"Yeep!"

"Hinata fainted."

"Hinata! Hinata! What happened?"

"You idiot! You touched Hinata's breast, that's what happened!"

At this, Neji slammed the door open, bursting into the room to see his cousin on the floor, an unhealthy shade of red, with Sakura wiping Hinata's face with a towel. Naruto turned to see a furious Neji leaning over him.

"Naruto," Neji's voice was deadly quiet, "What did you do to my cousin?"

Naruto merely opened and closed his mouth in shock. For a moment, everyone in the room was silent, and all the eyes of the people in the room were glued to his form.

Kiba started laughing, "Okay, honestly, who the hell are you and what the hell did you do with Neji Hyuga?"

At Kiba's loud comment, Hinata woke up. She looked up to see Neji wearing the hideous outfit and fainted again. A creepy sort of silence enveloped the room at this. All eyes were on Neji, once more, and he was getting rather fed up with the unwanted attention.

"Gai . . . ?" Kakashi began slowly, "What happened?"

Neji looked up from Hinata for the first time since entering the room. With each moment, he felt sicker and sicker. In the room were also Tsunade, Jiraiya, Iruka, Shizune, Anko, Genma, Iwashi, and Raido. Heck, even Ibiki was there. In the corner was Ebisu, lecturing Konohamaru about Sexy Jutsu while Udon and Moegi were staring at their sensei's massive nosebleed. Yugao, Kotetsu, Izumo, Hayate and Aoba looked up from their conversation to stare at Neji. Hana was smacking Kiba. He even saw Shikaku, Choza, Inoichi, Tsume, Shibi, and Hiashi at a table. Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, Kakashi and Yamato stood to the side. Some other ninja he didn't know were also staring in amusement. They've heard about, or seen, Neji Hyuga, the famed prodigy. Hell, they respected him! But it was kinda funny to see the Hyuga dressed like Gai and Lee. The Third "Beautiful" Green Beast of Konoha!

This isn't some celebration for a mission. This is some huge ninja gathering!! Shit!! I will never be able to show my face in Konoha again. NEVER!!

Then, he groaned out loud as he saw Hanabi run into the room.

I'm never gonna get any respect after this!

Tenten blushed and shut off her inner self Why does he want to talk, anyways? Hopefully, he won't kill me . . .

She shook her head again to clear her thoughts. She raised a shaking hand to the door, poised to knock when the door slid open. Tenten's center of balance was shifted and she felt herself pitch forward alarmingly. She squeezed her eyes shut, preparing herself for impact with the floor. . . but it never came. Neji stepped out the door and caught her as she fell into him. In a matter of seconds, Tenten's face became exceedingly red as Neji's arms encircled her. Her face was buried in his shoulder. However, had she been able to see his face, she would have seen a rare sight. Neji, the mysterious Hyuga prodigy, was smiling. Lo and behold. All of a sudden, a playful voice broke the silence.

"Um . . . H-hey guys . . . "

At the voice of the shy Hyuga heir, the two jumped apart, abashed. Tenten was blushing an even deeper crimson than before. And Neji was sporting a spot of pink that was easily noticeable because of him pale complexion.

"Hinata!" Neji turned even redder, looking a lot like said heiress when Naruto was around. Tenten chewed on her lip nervously, eyes glued to the floor as if the wood was the most fascinating thing in the world.

Hinata giggled, "I was n-never here!" and quickly ran past the two. Slowly, Neji turned to Tenten and motioned her in the room with a jerk of his head.

So . . . This is Neji's room. She looked around at the assorted furniture placed around the room. Neji closed the door behind him and crossed the room, sitting down on the bed. He motioned for her to join him. Tenten perched, rather nervously, on the edge of the bed, staring down at her hands, which were plucking at the covers. A long silence increased the awkwardness of the moment. Even Neji was at a loss as to what to say.

Tenten bit her bottom lip.

I want to be the one nibbling on that lip.

She looked down at the covers, twisting a lock of bangs with her fingers.

I want to run my hands through her hair.

Tenten looked up at Neji, staring at him through a thick fringe of her lashes. Unbeknownst to her, the shy look actually looked very much like a "come and get it" expression, which caused Neji to gulp and feel his pants starting to tighten uncomfortably around him.

Wanting to do anything to break the silence, he took a long breath, "Tenten, I . . ." he blew out the breath and started again, "Ever since we . . . I . . . " What the hell was wrong with him? He's Neji Hyuga! Neji Hyuga is always sure of himself. Always! But the bulge in his pants wasn't helping matters any as he tried to focus on saying something. Anything! He tried once more, "What I mean is . . . " He took another long breath, "I like you." He stopped and looked at his hands, embarrassed at his outright confession. Okay, that wasn't exactly what he wanted to say. Then again, Tenten was . . . distracting, to say the least. Oh well, now he has to live with his confession. Tenten was so surprised that you could knock her over with a feather. Her mouth opened and closed in shock as she tried to register what he just said.

Neji . . . likes me??

"You're not kidding?" she asked, after another long pause and she regained her voice. She squinted hard, scrutinizing his face, "Who are you and what have you done to Neji Hyuga, dammit!"

"I . . . what? . . . you . . . " he was stammering again! And he blushed . . . again. He knew this would happen.

Face it. You blew it! Neji winced at his inner self's voice She probably likes some other guy and thinks you are stupid for saying this! You are making a total fool of us, Neji.

He made no move to disagree with his inner self. After all, he was right. He was always right. He was, after all, Neji Hyuga, the Prodigy of the Hyuga clan, who had the all seeing eyes.

Tenten giggled at his expression.

Nice . . . how does it feel to be ridiculed, oh most highest one?

Before he could retaliate with a barbed comment, Tenten paused in her giggling. Still smiling, she asked him, "Are you sure?"

Why did I do this in the first place? Neji fumed at himself

Exactly what I want to know. You are going to make us the laughingstock of town. What on earth were you thinking?

His mental battle was interrupted by Tenten, who smiled sweetly at him, "Well, if you aren't sure . . . I may very well go after Sasuke." She smirked as he automatically looked horrified and furious at the same time. She giggled at his reaction.

NEJI HYUGA LIKES US!!

Well . . .

Face it. He loves us. Look at how mad he is that you would even think about going after Sasuke!

Maybe he's just out for revenge after the little scene today. After all, no one would believe that I pinned him to a tree and cut up his pants. They thought that he wore it on purpose. Ugh!

Yeah, right. We know Neji better than that. He wouldn't stoop that low. Now, do something already!

Tenten smiled, "Well in that case . . ." she never finished the sentence. Instead, she leaned over and kissed him, their hearts thumping in unison. To Neji, her lips were indescribably soft. He kissed her back, making her moan against him. She opened her mouth, allowing him entrance as their tongues intertwined in a furious dance of pleasure. Then, the two of them separated, panting, as their lungs screamed for air.

I was wrong. She does like me. For once, I am glad I'm wrong.

They fell into a companionable silence, each thinking their own thoughts until Neji broke the silence.

"Umm . . . so . . . would you like to do something together sometime? Take a walk, grab a bite, train . . . " he was rambling, making it obvious that he was nervous.

"Sure!" Tenten smiled, "How a picnic? We could talk and stuff." She blushed at what "and stuff" entitled of.

Neji thought for a moment, "How about tomorrow. Hokage Faces?"

Tenten smiled back, "I'll bring the food." She got up to leave, then impulsively hugged him. "Bye!" she kissed his jaw and ran out the room, closing the door behind her.

Yes! I have a date with Neji!

She ran, hugging herself, from the Hyuga compound, blissfully unaware of the white eyes following her out.

A/N: Oh, in my fic, everyone has an inner. Not really like Inner Sakura, but like an inner conscience or something that talks to them and stuff. It's just to have the characters talk to themselves and argue with themselves, which I think is fun.
