Once again, Team Gai leapt through the forest at amazing speeds. Their mission was to find a spy in the water village and eliminate him as a threat. After a few more minutes of leaping from tree to tree, they had arrived. They walked into the village, trying to look calm as their eyes searched the crowds of people.

"This is hopeless. Neji use your Byakugan." Tenten murmured to Neji. He was so busy enjoying her chakara signature and watching her beautiful face to even think of that. In fact, he realized he wasn't paying any attention to the mission at all. Very out of character for him.

He snapped to attention when he heard her voice and used the Byakugan to look for the spy's chakara signature. He found it almost immediately.

"This way," he said, eager to find the man and finish the mission so he could continue his previous conversation with Tenten.

They came upon the man in the center of the village. Apparently he had been waiting for them because as they spread out and surrounded him, he looked each one of them in the eye and didn't act the least bit surprised.

"Just come with us, we don't need to fight and endanger all of these innocent villagers." Gai tried to keep the situation under control but by the time he had finished his sentence, the man was lunging at Tenten.

"Wrong choice," Neji laughed to himself. The man must've thought she was the weeks among them because she was a woman. Well, he was wrong. Tenten lunged forward too and use her Exploding Dragon Strike as she flew towards him. After the smoke cleared out after her attack, she hit him again with a chakara-empowered fist. The man could really take a punch though. He quickly turned on Neji but would never make it to where he was standing. Tenten used her Iron Wall of Protection. The man didn't have time to stop and slammed face-first into the wall. Through all of this, Neji and the rest of the team just stood and watched Tenten prove her skills to the ignorant man. She quickly bound him with her wire strings and that fast, the fight was done.

"Tch, easy as pie." Tenten smirked as she looked down at the spy. Neji laughed along with her and soon enough, Gai and Rock Lee were laughing too.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The journey home was more relaxed now that the mission was done. Rock and Gai walked with the prisoner dragging his feet behind them. Neji and Tenten walked behind them, just in case.

"Since we're out of ear-shot," Tenten said quietly. Neji waited patiently and gave her time to think about what she wanted to say. "Well, what does that make us?" She paused, not wanting to say what was coming. "If Gai Sensei knew…. He would have to tell Tsunade-sama. It's the rules. We would be put on different teams and…."

"Hey," Neji gently bumped shoulders with her. "Don't worry about that. Nobody can keep a relationship from happening if it's meant to. Anyway, before they had Naruto, his parents were on different teams and they were still able to be in love."

"Yeah…." Tenten considered it. "But can we just keep it quiet for now?" She blushed and looked up at him.

He took her hand in his and slightly smiled. "Sure."
