Chapter two

Bold-flashbacks

Italics- thoughts

Tenten was exhausted. They had spent all day training more like Neji beating me up she thoughtTenten's hopes of him going easy on her had been long lost; his first move had left her on the floor in a pile of dirt. Finally it was time to return to the mansion that was her new home, it had only been her first day and to be honest she didn't want to dare to try and navigate that humongous Hyuuga estate. It is going to take a long time for me to get used to this place she thought as they walked along the corridor, back to her new room. Neji opened her door, and left her to it. There was no way he was going in her room, it had been decorated a soft pink color, and the first thing Tenten had done was to cover one wall with photo's and pictures of her favorite people. Now he dare not go in, so instead he retired to his own room and ordered his dinner. His peace didn't last long.

Neji had just finished eating when Hiashi walked into his room. "Neji, tomorrow I want you and Tenten to head out to the villa. You will leave at five, and spend the day there. I can't believe you forced her to spend her first day training, you should have better manners." Neji looked up at his uncle in surprise, as his uncle continued his lecture about hospitality. But Tenten likes training; she bugs me to go training. Doesn't she? Hiashi finally finished his lecture, and finished by telling him not to be late.

Tenten had also been told the plans, and had set her alarm. Not that I'll need it, Neji will wake me up in his usual way.

The following morning she was more than surprised when it was her alarm clock that woke her up, rather than the usual foot in her back from a certain Hyuuga. She crawled out of bed, only to find she was half an hour earlier than the clock had been set, but nether the less she got ready to go. It didn't take long to wash dress and make her bed. It didn't take long for boredom to take over.

Neji was dreaming. He was nice and warm, but something felt realer than usual. He slowly opened his eyes to find Tenten sat next to him, kissing his face. She pulled away and gave him a playful smile. "Morning, sunshine. How did you sleep? We have to get gong soon, so come on! UP!" With the word up she cruelly whipped away his covers, leaving him shivering in the morning air. Glaring at her, he picked him self up and went for a shower. When he came back, Tenten was sat on his bed, whispering to Penpen. Neji glowered at the penguin, "what have you got that for? You're not seriously bringing it, are you?" Tenten glowered back "why did you buy me her, if you don't like her? I'm going to buy you a toy penguin, then you can call her what you wish, and take her wherever you go! Then I can be mean to your penguin, then we'll see" Neji rolled his eyes. "Like I would want a penguin any way, let a lone a female one" Tenten's eyes widened "A male penguin? But it's so hard to think of names. But ok, I'll stop off in town and get you a male penguin, but you better name him well!" Neji would have argued if he had been more awake, but as it just so happened he had just been cruelly ripped out of bed and forced to wake up at such a god forsaken hour…

It took about one hour to walk to the villa, and Tenten had been surprised that a carriage hadn't been booked. They have all that money, but they are so reluctant to spend it. Why is that? Mind you Neji did buy me that Kunai… The villa was certainly up to Hyuuga standards it was large and modern, with a pool out the back. Not really useful for this time of year but never mind.

She hurried to catch up with Neji, who was opening the door. "Why did Hiashi want us to come here any way? To stop you from killing me in training again?" "Hn"

Tenten rolled her eyes. "Just because you don't have a penguin doesn't mean you have to sulk, come on lets explore!"

"There's nothing to explore here, its all boring. Its just a big house with a pool. Tour finished." Neji had his back to her as he walked up stairs, she followed. Despite how big it looked from the outside, inside it was still quite cozy. There was one large master bedroom, complete with an en-suit. There were then several large bathrooms, each apparently serving a different function.

As soon as they had dumped their stuff I their room, Tenten announced she was hungry.

Neji agreed that it was time to eat, and led her to the kitchen. The cupboards were full of all sorts of ingredients, some Tenten had never seen in her life. Neji occupied himself with pulling various ingredients out and equipment. Tenten just watched as he made breakfast, and then served it on a plate, complete with orange juice. So this is the kind considerate Neji The breakfast was apple fritters, something Tenten had never tried before, but enjoyed immensely. "Right, that's it, as soon as we've cleared up, lets go to the market and get your penguin! Have you decided what you are going to call him yet?" she smiled and looked at Neji; he seemed to have accepted the idea of owning his own penguin. Neji chuckled, seemingly I a much better mood. "I plan on letting you name him" Tenten beamed "Really?! Wow thank you!" She flung her arms around his neck and hung off him playfully. Neji smiled to himself she's so easy to please, too easy. "Tenten how can you be so happy about something so simple? Its only naming a toy penguin, it's not like I'm asking you to name our children" Tenten stopped in her tracks, a strange expression on her face. Neji immediately regretted his words. Why did I say that?! She's going to think I really am going to 'take her purity' Quick Neji, think of something to say so she wont be upset! But to his surprise, instead of getting angry, Tenten gave him a wicked grin. "They are our children, Neji cant you see? Most children need to be loved, and looked after, just like pen pen and pan pan will have to be." PAN PAN?!


Mwhahahahaha the return of Pen pen! I'm taking suggestions for the new penguins name, I don't think Neji is going to let it be called Panpan, so tell me if you come up with any amusing ideas!
