Disclaimer: again, don't own Naruto blah blah blah...

AN: Okay, here's the second rewritten chapter, I hope you enjoyed the last one . You may notice its different to the last version, but the plot is generally the same, I've just made the chapters longer and I might continue it from where I left off last time.

Okay read & review please, and enjoy :

At around half seven, it fell dark and Ino announced she was going to go and visit her parents before it grew too late. She got to her feet and slyly kicked Sakura before making her way to the door. The remaining three of them watched in amusement from Tenten's window as the blonde kunoichi walked down the street, subtly checking her hair for more noodles.

Ino reached the end of Tenten's road and turned the corner, Sakura was the first one to come away from the window, she began to pick up the take out boxes and leftover food.

"Want to watch a movie?" Tenten asked the other two, as she disposed of some of the food Hinata had just handed her.

"S-sure" Came the reply from Hinata. Sakura nodded.

They finished clearing up the mess, and a small argument ensued about what to watch.

"But we watched that last time!" Sakura whined as Tenten held up Kill Bill.

Tenten sighed in defeat. "Fine we'll watch Chicago then."

Sakura grinned , shoved her favorite musical into the DVD player and pushed play.

It was ten-ish when Chicago finished.

Tenten yawned and stretched. Her tiredness was no doubt partially due the hammering she'd received by Neji that morning. As soon as she thought of Neji, anger began to chorus through her blood again. Tenten didn't know why, but she didn't feel too enthusiastic about being alone all night.

"Hey ,you guys wanna sleep here tonight?" Tenten rubbed her eyes, aware her friends must be feeling drowsy as well now.

Sakura declined. " I have to work early tomorrow, Tsunade-shishou wants me to try a new method."

"No problem, Hinata?"

"H-hai, Tenten-chan." Hinata said.

Tenten's spirits lifted. She had always been closer to Hinata than she was to Ino and Sakura. Ino and Sakura were quite loud, and that sometimes annoyed Tenten if she wasn't feeling her best. There were just some things she wouldn't feel entirely comfortable telling those two , that she knew she could always tell Hinata.

"Tenten?"

Tenten looked up at the sound of her name. "Sorry, I didn't catch that Sakura-chan."

Sakura sighed. " I said I'm going now, Do you want to come to Ichiraku with Hinata, Me and maybe Ino after I finish work tomorrow?"

"Sure, I'll see you there at around five then?"

Sakura nodded. "See ya!"

Hinata joined Tenten in the bathroom clad in borrowed pyjama's.

"S-sorry for having t-to ask Tenten-chan" Hinata stuttered. "But c-could I borrow a toothbrush?"

Tenten spat the last bit of foam from her mouth and rinsed her green toothbrush under the cold tap. "Of course. There's no need to apologize! Get one from the spare packet in the cabinet."

Hinata thanked her and selected a purple one from the medicine cupboard.

Tenten lay staring up at her pastel blue bedroom ceiling, waiting for Hinata to finish brushing her teeth.

"Tenten-chan?"

Hinata's soft voice startled her. Tenten sat up and looked at Hinata perched on the corner of her bed. "Yeah?"

"Has N-Neji-niisan done something to upset y-you?"

Tenten frowned, was it that obvious? "You could say that."

"Oh." Came Hinata's voice again. "I k-know its not my p-place to say, but Neji-niisan thinks v-very highly of you."

Oh he did , did he? Tenten thought to herself. If he did then why did he constantly ignore and insult her? Tenten sighed and rolled over. She wasn't going to waste anymore of her precious sleeping time thinking about the cold hearted Hyuuga.

"Well he sure has a funny way of showing it." Came her grunted reply.

Hinata looked sadly at the back of her best friend. Neji and Tenten were just as oblivious to their emotions as each other. If they both got over their pride and looked deep inside themselves, Hinata thought, the two of them would realize that something had been staring both of them in the faces for a long time. Hinata sighed. She only hoped they'd realize before it was too late.

Okay, here's the second rewritten chapter. Please review, they make me all warm and fuzzy inside, and when I feel that, I update faster hint hint. Push the lavender colored button!

Ja Ne!
