Chapter 2

I was departing along with Neji, and the rest of the rookie 9. It was still early in the morning and we still had plenty of time to train. So Neji and I were heading in the direction of the training grounds, that is until I heard my name being called by Ino and Sakura.

"Tenten!" Ino and Sakura shouted in unison.

I stopped in my tracks. Neji noticing I had stopped also stopped. I turned around to see where their voices were coming from. Only to see Ino and Sakura waving their hands frantically in the air while running towards me. Hinata was there too, but she was more calm.

Neji raised an eyebrow at the sight of this. I think he found it amusing.

"Tenten! Come on we NEED to go shopping! We are not going to spend 2 whole months living in a hotel without cute clothes!" Ino stated as she grabbed my right arm and Sakura, my left. They started dragging me away.

"NOOO! I AM NOT GOING SHOPPING WITH YOU CRAZY PEOPLE AGAIN! NOT AFTER LAST TIME!" I sneered while digging my heels in the ground with all my might. Out of the corner of my eye I saw that Neji was standing there with his arms crossed and his feet shoulder width apart. He looked more amused of the fact that I was being forced to go shopping.

"Oh, that was last time! This is now! This is an EMERGENCY! We have nothing to wear and that's including pajamas!" Sakura explained.

"That includes lingere!" Ino sang.

That made me blush.

"Tenten, go on," I heard Neji smirked. That made me blush even harder.

"But Neji, what about training?" I managed to say. I heard footsteps coming closer towards me and I felt Sakura and Ino let go of my arms.

"Thank you." I muttered. Unknown to the person behind me. I saw that Sakura, Ino, and Hinata had backed away.

"Well we'll see you at the mall Tenten! If you don't come in at least a half hour, we'll be forced to buy you what WE would buy," Ino threatened as she, Sakura, and Hinata headed back the way they came. That's when I felt his presence behind me.

"Tenten, here," Neji huskily muttered in my ear. His warm breath sent shivers down my spine and made the hairs on my neck stand up.

He turned me around so that I was facing him. He pulled out a credit card and held it out in front of me.

"What's this for," I questioned him, giving him a look of confusion.

"Take it," he simply stated.

"Why?"

"You're going to need money."

"Neji, I cant accept your credit card. I have my own money. Besides, you'd have to sign your name and I don't think you want to go shopping with a bunch of girls."

"Then I'll come."

"But I'm going to be trying on a whole bunch of different clothes."

"Ino said you guys were going to the mall. I need to go get some things anyways. When you need it, come get me."

"But, Neji, I," I tried to protest, but he just gave me a glare. I knew it was hopeless.

"Ok, lets go before Ino starts buying me slutty clothes," I sighed as we began walking towards the mall.

About 15 minuets later…

"Its about time!" Ino complained.

I started twitching my eye.

"Just be happy I'm here!" I shouted at her.

We all started walking in the mall.

"Neji-nii-san, why are you here?" Hinata politely asked.

"I had some things of my own to take care of," he said.

"Tenten, when you need me, come find me," Neji said and with that he took off in his own direction.

Everyone looked at me.

"What the hell was that about?" Ino asked.

"Neji insists that he pay for my clothes," I explained as we walked into a clothes store.

"Neji-nii-san, offered to pay for your clothes?" Hinata asked.

"I think Neji likes you even before you have to share a room with him!" Sakura implied.

"It is very unusual that Neji-nii-san would offer to pay for something that's not his," Hinata stated as she looked through a rack of clothes.

I just stood there, waiting for the huge stack of clothes to come piling on me.

"I think he was just interested why Ino said that we would be buying lingere," Sakura implied.

"Well at least we know that he isn't gay," Ino laughed as she was looking through the lingere.

"Ok, Tenten, what's your bra size?" Ino asked.

"38 C," I said.

"No way!" Ino exclaimed as she looked at me with disbelief.

"You wanna check?" I asked her, hoping that she would just believe me.

"As a matter of fact, yes, I do," she replied coming over to me.

She lifted up the back of my shirt and checked back of my bra strap.

"Oh my god! She's a 38 C!" Ino shouted in awe.

"Well then you get in that dressing room and be prepared for a lot lingere!" Ino exclaimed as she shoved me into the dressing room.

About 3 minuets later Ino came in with about a dozen different bras and matching underware.

"Try these on first," she said as she handed me a crimson red, lacy bra and a crimson red, lacy pair of panties.

"But Ino, I hate lace. Its itchy." I stated.

"That's ok, its 100% cotton. They shouldn't itch very much," and with that she stepped out of the dressing room to let me change.

A few minuets later, I opened the door only to see Ino, and Sakura's jaw drop.

"What do I really look that bad?" I asked. I never really liked this stuff that's why I always wore sports bras.

"No…Sakura…she looks…" Ino started.

"She looks, like a model."

"Hai, Tenten-chan, you look very, attractive. I think Neji-nii-san will go crazy," Hinata inquired. Making me blush.

Ino started examining me.

"You have all the right curves in all the right places. Why do you always hide them with all those baggy clothes?" Ino asked as she stared in awe. I quickly went back in the changing room.

"Can we please just hurry up?" I asked.

Ino found at least a month's worth of bras and underwear. She then went to go find me pajamas. I had a feeling those would also be lingere. Sakura and Hinata picked out at least a month's worth of skirts, shirts, tank tops, halter tops, short shorts, and tight jeans. Oh this was going to be a LOT of money.

It was about after 5 when we finally were able to go check out. I really didn't want to go ask Neji for his card.

"Hey Hinata, do you think that maybe you could put this on your card instead and I'll pay you back later," I asked Hinata.

"No need Tenten-chan. You don't need to pay me back," she insisted.

I sighed, "Are you sure?"

She just nodded.

"You can go find Neji-nii-san. Tell him that we're ready to go," she said as she, Sakura and Ino stayed to pay for everthing.

I walked out the store and saw a weapons store directly across from me. My eyes were glistening as I unconsciously walked over there, only to be greeted by none other than Neji Hyuga.

"Neji, we're ready to go," I managed to speak. He just nodded and followed me. I noticed that he had a bag in his hand. I could tell that the item he bought was from the weapons store.

We met up with Ino, Sakura, and Hinata all carrying 2 big bags.

We all left the mall and started walking together. We all were going to my house to drop off all the clothes and such, even Neji followed. Once we reached my house all 5 of us entered my house. Sakura, Hinata, and Ino dropped the bags off and left. Neji on the other hand stayed for a few minuets.

"Tenten how did you pay for all of this?" Neji asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Hinata paid. I couldn't find you," I lied. Well Hinata did pay, but I didn't even try looking for him.

"Liar."

"Hey what's in the bag," I asked him.

He opened the bag and pulled out some new kunai, shuriken, and some senbon needles. Nothing special.

"Oh, so that's where you were that whole time," I said.

He just nodded.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow at 5," I told him.

He walked towards the door, and opened it.

"Good night Neji," I whisperd.

And right before he shut the door I heard him whisper, "Good night Tenten."
