Megumi: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO….

HINATA CHAN DOES!!!

Hinata?! Na-nani? pokes fingers together

Megumi: You can't deny that you are the sunshine of Naruto kun's life! You own his heart!

Hinata: I…..blushes

Megumi: coughs AND I OWN KIBA!!!

Kiba?!?!?!?!

Shino: Nee-chan-baka – they mean you don't own Naruto's copyrights!

Megumi: I don't own that either!

Shino: And you DON'T own kiba.

Megumi: sniffles I guess you're right…

It Started With a Giggle…

"YOUTH!!!" Lee cried out. Tenten and Neji knew where this was going.

Another green clad man came, following his younger's suit of "YOUTH!!!"

Tenten suppressed a moan. Everyday, Rock Lee and Gai sensei began their poetic rant about the wonders of youth, hope and wonder-followed with rainbows, sunsets and mutant dolphins oO

Anyway, Tenten and Neji looked at each other, and did what they always did in reply. They walked away, leaving the two green beasts of Konoha hugging.

Tenten seemed different today. As the two left, she giggled. Neji gave her that eye of "What the crap are you thinking?", and she just smiled her adorable smile, walking on.

Neji was getting concerned. Since when had he heard Tenten..giggle? However, as far as he was from admitting it, he liked her giggle 

"…Tenten, are you alright?" he asked concerned, once she leaned against a tree, ripping flowers up in a naïve childish way.

Her umber eyes rose to meet his pearly ones. She cocked her head cutely. "What'd you mean, Neji kun?"

Kun-Neji's face froze. Since when had anyone called him "kun", let alone Tenten?

"You just…seem different today…" he muttered, trying to hide a twitch.

She smiled, blushing, looking to the grass. "I guess..you could say….I'm….in love…" the words came out hardly louder than a whisper.

Neji's eyes grew wide. Tenten-in love? She was that tomboy girl, who found pure enjoyment in throwing things at people! How could she-find a love? And more importantly---who? Again, neji wouldn't admit it, but he thought very highly of Tenten-VERY highly, to the point of liking her, to the point of LOVING her, to the point of if there was another guy who looked like he just MIGHT hit on Tenten within a 5 meter radius, he was met with the Gentle Fist technique.

"…Really?" Neji asked, trying to sound uninterested.

Tenten nodded, decapitating another flower.

"…Who is it?" Neji asked.

"…Guess!" she said, smiling.

He gave her a glare. As if he could guess-no, as if he WOULD stoop to guessing. "Tell me."

"I want you to guess!" Tenten said excited. "I'll give you some clues!"

"Fine," Neji gave in.

"Let's see…" Tenten held a finger to her lip in thought. "He's very handsome, Konoha's strongest ninja (in my mind), the pride of his clan, he has amazing eyes, and though he may look unkind, he's the nicest guy I've ever met!" she explained succinctly.

Neji gave her a surprised look for a moment. That didn't…really help. Then-Sasuke! It had to be that guy. Suddenly, he had a strong bloodlust for ripping the Uchiha's head off.

"Is it…Sasuke?" Neji asked, biting his lip to restrain his sudden impulse to go kill the guy right now.

Tenten suppressed a laugh. "Um…no…."

"Just tell me then," Neji glared at an innocent bystanding tree.

"I want you to guess!" Tenten replied again.

"I did-"

"But you didn't guess right! Try again!" Tenten smiled warmly. Neji couldn't resist that, no matter how hard he tried. So, he sat down next to her, under the trees shade and thought for a moment.

Tenten's heart began to race. Neji-THE Neji Hyuuga was sitting next to her-more closely than usual-Her face began to grow red.

"…Is it…" he tried to think of every shinobi in the village…Shino? Well, no one had seen his eyes, but maybe Tenten had-

"Shino?" he asked lamely. Tenten keeled over, gasping for air.

"Neji----Don't scare me like that!" Thinking of her staring at Bugboy was a scary thought in and of itself…

Kiba? Nothing special about him. Lee? He shivered. I seriously hope she's sane enough to not fall for him… Choji? No-Tenten was smarter than that.

"Do I even know him? Neji asked.

"Of course you do!" Tenten laughed. Neji turned a vague shade of red.

"Please don't tell me its Rock Lee…"

"NEJI!" Tenten fell forward on her face. "Who do you think I am? You're HORRIBLE at this!"

"Then just tell me," he folded his arms behind his head, leaning against the tree.

"…I'll tell you if you let me braid your hair!" Tenten said after a few moments of silence.

"?!" Neji looked at her suspiciously.

"…" Tenten gave him a penetrating glare, and he didn't question her further.

"Fine." Wow-Neji really wanted to know-since when had anyone but Hinata done his hair? (Megumi: Hehe-He doesn't know that Hina chan and I were the ones who put honey in his hair a couple years ago…. FUFUFU!) He turned his back to Tenten reluctantly, as her warm slender fingers went through his hair.

"Another clue?" tenten asked, growing despirate for Neji to just get it.

He nodded furiously, showing too much interest. Wait. "?!?! You said you'd tell me!"

Tenten giggled. "I still want you to guess! This isn't as hard as you're making it!"

Neji glared again. Why did he love her again?

Tenten began again, "He's a prodigy…I've known him since I started to go to the academy…He's a Hyuuga…" she smiled as she looked up to the clouds. He couldn't miss it now…

Hm…Well, that knocked out Naruto-if he wasn't knocked out earlier. No-that knocked everyone from the academy.

"…He's related to me?!" Neji asked suddenly.

Tenten pouted. "You still don't get it! How can you miss it!"

Neji's eyes flashed. "How can I miss it? Is it really that obvious?!"

"Well, apparently not! Neji kun, you're so dense!" Tenten frowned. He may be a prodigy, but for a prodigy, he was…stupid.

"If its so obvious, why don't you tell me?" Neji accidently shouted at her.

"Well, he's sitting under a tree with me right now, and he's got the BEST LOOKING HAIR I"VE EVER SEEN!!!" Tenten shouted back.

Neji's eyes grew wider than they ever had before. "….Me?"

"YES!!!! I LOVE YOU NEJI HYUUGA!!!" Tenten screamed angrily. Of course, only Tenten or Ino would do soemthign like that. But before she could shout anything else, she felt Neji's arms around her waist, as he pulled her in.

"I love you, Tenten," he mumbled, since he wasn't very good at just…admitting it.

Tenten's face rose in hue-beyond the colour spectrum. Her arms laced around Neji's neck as he gave her a short kiss.

Of course, as usual, Lee and Gai sensei got over their emotional thing…or whatever, and walked over to see the "Not so youthful Neji and Tenten spar!" They began skipping, saying "We're on a magical adventure! Of hope and wonder! We shall find CANDY MOUNTAIN, and we shall bring the not so youthful Neji and Tenten who need to discover the power of their youth-"

And they stopped there, as they saw that Neji and Tenten had indeed found their youth, considering that they were in each other's arms, kissing under a Sakura tree. A blossom fell on Tenten's head and she giggled, resting her head on Neji's shoulder.

Lee's jaw dropped, seeing that Neji had defeated him once again—well, in the sense that Lee still hadn't convinced Sakura to go out with him. He had always thought that he was the most youthful-but seeing as he had never gotten Sakura's kiss, and here were Neji and Tenten…together, it made him flail in the wind.

"I have been over come by a more youthful spirit!!!" He cried, Gai sensei crying waterfalls of tears.

"You two have discovered the magical journey of YOUTH! Even better than that of Candy Mountain…" Gai cried.

Neji and Tenten looked up, utterly surprised by this…magical appearance. AWKWARD MOMENT OF SILENCE….oO

"I—I—" Tenten muttered. Neji began to hyperventilate.

Gai sensei ran up and hugged them. Well, not really the right thing to do, considering that Neji was one of those über protective people…

"GET AWAY FROM HER!!!" he cried, blowing a not so gentle fist punch in his own sensei's face. Gai sensei went blasting off…like Team Rocket!

"Now…" Neji's eyes were calm again. "Where were we?"

Tenten giggled and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek. "Where were we?"
