I Don't Own Naruto.

Summary: When Tenten, Hinata, Ino and Sakura decided to train with Neji, Naruto, Shikamaru and Sasuke, they got injured and were called weak in their faces. They decided that it is time that they finally prove to the boys that they are wrong. So, when the Akatsuki requested them to join, they question about their own abilities. Maybe, they might have potential after all. 4 long years later... the girls came back. The boys were shocked. What will happen?

A/N: Thanks for all those reviews! :D Anyways, some of you stated that this chapter did not appear so I decided to reupload it. So enjoy. ;D

R & R!

Neji/Tenten - 13

Rest - 12


The Next Day..

"You are late." Neji said sternly as he saw Tenten arriving.

"I'm sorry, I overslept. And I'm only 10 minutes late so I think that it won't be a very big deal, Neji." Tenten answered.

"Sorry Tenten but you would have no breaks later on for being late." Neji said coldly.

"WHAT?! No breaks? But, But -" Tenten protested but was interrupted by Neji.

"No buts, so let's begin."

With that, they trained 6 hours straight without breaks though.

6 Hours later..

Tenten laid down on the ground and panted.

She was exhausted! She hadn't had a bite or a drink for 6 hour straight and she had been training and panting too.

"Neji...could I just go and have a drink?" Tenten asked weakly.

"No." Neji replied sternly.

Tenten groaned in frustration.

"Stand up, NOW." Neji demanded.

Tenten groaned again and stood up.

They then continued their training for another 4 hours.

Another 4 hours later..

Neji was not even panting!

"Maybe joining the Akatsuki might be a good idea." Tenten thought.

"They will at least allow me to drink a bit of water, unlike someone here who is a cold bastard." Tenten thought again.

"Neji...we had been training for about 10 hours...can I finally have a break now?" Tenten asked sweetly.

"No." Neji replied sternly again.

"THAT'S IT!" Tenten thought.

"Then you shall go find yourself a new sparring partner cause I'm exhausted and hungry and I won't train with you until those two conditions of mine are properly taken care of!" Tenten exclaimed angrily.

Neji raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"I'll train with Lee from now on, you won't...need to come...anymore." Neji said coldly

Tenten's eyes widen.

Then she stood up silently and walked off quietly, leaving the cold bastard behind.

"How...could he be...so heartless?" Tenten thought sadly as she felt tears flowing down her pink cheeks.


Once Tenten reached her house, she immediately went to have a bath.

"I hope...that what Neji said...was all Angry and Frustrated words...I really hope that that wasn't from him heart..." Tenten thought.

After the bath, Tenten changed into her clean training suit. She decided to head out for dinner first.

Before she even moved, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Tenten asked.

"Hey Ten! This is Sakura. I'm currently over at Ino's house, together with Ino and Hinata. We're having a sleepover, wanna come?" The person on the other line asked which is Sakura.

"Ermm...sure. But I hope that Ino does provide Dinner as I'm starving." Tenten replied.

"Yup, she did and we'll wait for you to arrive before we start dinner alright?" Sakura asked.

"Ya, be there in 15 minutes." Tenten replied and hang up the phone. She immediately went to pack her PJs and neccesaries. Once done, she left for Ino's house.


"DING DONG!" The doorbell rang.

"Must be Tenten." Ino smiled as she stood up and went down the stairs to open the door for Tenten.

"Hey Tenten, come on in!" Ino exclaimed.

Tenten nodded and followed Ino to her room.

Once everyone was settled down, they headed down for dinner.

Dinner was prepared by Sakura and Ino as Ino's parents were currently Out Of Town.

"I must admit forehead, the chicken you cooked was fab." Ino smiled.

Sakura smirked at Ino and said,

"What do you expect? I'm better in everything. Better than you that is."

Ino's right eye started to twitch.

"SHUT UP!" Ino exclaimed angrily.

"Break it up. And anyway, I'm full. Sakura and Ino, you two wash the dishes." Tenten smirked.

Tenten and Hinata then headed up to Ino's room.

Once Ino and Sakura finished washing the dishes, they headed upstairs.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Sakura asked.

"Truth or dare." Ino replied casually.

"Or really?" Tenten asked.

"Yes." Ino replied and she spin the bottle and it landed on Tenten.

"So Tenten, truth or dare?" Ino asked.

"Truth." Tenten replied.

"Hmm...tell me...are you planning to join the Akatsuki?" Ino asked.

"I don't know...but judging from what happened today...most likely, yes." Tenten replied sadly.

"W-What happened T-T-Today?" Hinata asked.

"Well...Neji and I trained 10 hours straight and when I requested for a break, he told me not to turn up for training tomorrow." Tenten replied sadly.

"That jerk!" Sakura exclaimed.

Tenten spin the bottle and it landed on Sakura.

"Truth." Sakura replied before Tenten even asked.

"Well...same question as Ino's." Tenten replied.

"Ya...I'm joining." Sakura replied.

"WHAT?! WHY?!" The rest chorused.

"Well...let's just say I don't wanna be insulted anymore." Sakura replied.

"Hey, let's not make anymore U-turns. Let's be straight forward. Are you all joining the Akatsuki?" Ino asked.

Tenten and Sakura nodded. Hinata thought for a while and replied,

"Yes..."

Ino then said,

"Alright. I'm in."

"Well...why not let us cool down for today? The Akatsuki will be coming in two days time. We still have time to reconsider and not act harshly." Sakura asked.

"Ya...I guess..." Tenten muttered.


The Next day...

Tenten woke up at 5am and decided to go home. She packed her bag and left Ino's house quietly. She hoped that Neji was not as petty as she had thought he would be.

When Tenten arrived at the training grounds, Neji was not there.

"I guess...Neji...was really talking serious..." Tenten thought sadly.

Then, someone appeared behind her. It was...


How was it? R & R please!
