For some reason this chapter was very hard to right. I hope it turned out okay.

Sleeping With Charity

Tenten's P.O.V.

"Hi," he said.

"Hi," I said.

"I love you," he said.

I stopped breathing for a moment.

Kuso! What am I supposed to say to that? Say it back?

"I love you too," I said. And I really did.

He gave me a smug look.

"You have no clue what happened last night, do you?"

Caught. Admitting, I shake my head.

He frowns, a little disappointed.

"Well I'm not surprised, considering all you drank last night."

But then he smirked.

Oh that smirk! The very one I fell in love with. He was giving it to me!

"Don't worry though."

He got on top of me.

"I'll help you remember."

And thus began the hottest make out session in the world.

Or at least, in my world.

Normal P.O.V.

Flashback:

Twenty minutes later, the two girls entered the crowded auditorium of Konoha High. Tenten was getting a little shaky.

"Wow. There sure is a lot of people here."

Temari on the other hand was as confident as ever.

"Yeah, a lot of competition. But, hey, don't sweat it. We got this."

They found a seat in the middle next to a blond girl with her hair in a ponytail, whom they knew to be Ino Yamanaka, and a pink haired girl with a big forehead that they didn't know. They were talking about who they wanted to buy. The pink haired girl was currently yapping away like an excited monkey.

"Finally! My dreams of being with Sasuke will finally become a reality! He will finally see that we are meant to be and not him and that bastard Naruto."

Her eyes darkened a bit at the thought of Naruto.

"Oh don't worry Sakura. He's in the auction. Plus, even if he wasn't, Naruto's broke. There's no way he could even afford Sasuke," said the blond girl, "But me? I can definitely afford my Shikamaru."

At this Temari turned to the girl.

"Bleach blond bitch say what?"

"What?"

Temari laughed but was serious again quickly.

"You listen and you listen good, if you know what's good for you, you'd back off of Shikamaru."

Ino just snorted. Tenten jumped into the conversation.

"I wouldn't talk her threats lightly if I were you."

With that last warning, Tenten and Temari moved down two seats and completely ignored the other girls. That's when the lights dimmed, and the auction began. Out on the stage came a very pretty lady, who the kids knew to be Asuma's wife.

"Hello everyone! My name is Kurenai and I am your host for tonight's auction."

There was a loud applause from the audience.

"Now here are the rules. You may only buy one guy."

This earned a round of protests from the audience. Kurenai only smiled.

"You must make sure that before you call out your bet, you hold up the number card you got on your way in. You must also make sure to not over bet the money you possess. Also, fighting will not be tolerated."

Again, protests rang out from the audience at that last rule. Temari was also one of those protesters.

"Well I'm screwed."

Tenten laughed and tuned in to Kurenai again.

"Now let us begin with our first male. Shino Aburame!"

From backstage, out came Shino looking...decent. Maybe even...cute?

"Shino Aburame is a member of the insect clan. He doesn't talk much but if you're interesting enough, he might consider it. He's a very mysterious guy. The starting bid will be 5,000yen. Any takers?"

And so it went on for Choji Akamichi and Kiba Inuzuka as well. Shino was bought for a good 16,00yen by girl from Suna. Choji was bought for 12,000yen by a phone called buyer. Kiba was surprisingly fought over by numerous girls and ended up being bought for the high price of 253,502yen.

"Next, Neji Hyuuga. Neji is a well known prodigy and e member of the pristine Hyuuga clan. He believes that everyone has a destiny and he will never give up on his. His biggest pet peeve are stupid girls. Starting the bid at 5,000yen. Any takers?"

Almost at once more than half the girls in the auditorium raised their cards and started screaming out number at Kurenai.

"Hold it! Hold it! Calm down everyone! First we must see if there are any call bids. Asuma?"

Asuma was working the phones so that people who couldn't be at the actual auction, could still place their bids and have a chance.

"Yeah got one. Says she'll wait a little though."

"Alright. Now I'm going to go in order one by one. If someone calls out a number too high for you, put your card down. First, you on the right in the last row in the blue."

"20,000yen!"

And so Kurenai kept pointing to girl after girl looking for the highest bidder all the while checking back with the caller on the phone who still hadn't placed a bet. Finally, Kurenai came to Tenten, whose heart was beating incredibly fast. By now the bid was up at 420,000yen and only 10 other girls still had their cards up.

"525,600yen!"

Tenten almost laughed. Everyone of the other girls slowly put their cards down glaring at her.

`Yes it did it! Neji is mine!`

"Going once, going twice-."

"Wait!" Asuma called out, "Our girl here wants to bid 525,601yen!"

Tenten was stunned. She had been so close and now it was all over. All that waiting, all that preparing, it was all for nothing now! Temari was stunned too, but she had an idea.

"Here, take 100 of my yen, that way she can't catch up easily."

"What? No. I couldn't. You'll need it."

"Just take the damn money Tenten. I'll be fine."

Kurenai was now calling out, "Going once!" Tenten still hesitated.

"Take it, Tenten! Before it's too late!"

"Going twice!"

Tenten finally took the money.

"565,701yen!"

Tenten looked at Asuma.

`Please, please.`

Finally, Asuma shook his head. The caller had give up! So Kurenai began her count.

"Going once!"

`Please.`

"Going twice!"

`Please!`

"Sold! To the girl in the black and red kimono! Come on up here and claim your prize."

Tenten practically jumped out of her seat but before she went, she turned back to a smiling Temari giving her a thumbs up. She smiled back and leaned down to give her best friend a hug.

"Thank you, Temari. I owe you one."

"Ah, don't mention it. What are friends for?"

As Tenten neared the stage, she saw Neji smirking down at her. She blushed and put her head down. At the stage, she gave her money to Kurenai and walked up to Neji, still blushing. Neji was the first to speak.

"Shall we?"

He held out his arm to her, smiling. Tenten smiled back sweetly and looped her arm through his.

"Of course."

And so the two left the auditorium and the school arm in arm out to the parking lot to Neji's car. Both still smiling at each other.

Back at the school in the auditorium, the auction continued.

"Up next we have Rock Lee! He is very bright and energetic. Lee is very gifted at tai jutsu and believes strongly in the power of youth. Starting bid will be 5,000yen. Any takers?"

The auditorium was completely quiet. Someone coughed and that was it.

"Anyone?"

Nothing.

"Oh come on! He's not that bad! I'll even lower the bid to 1,000yen."

Still nothing.

"500yen?"

Cough.

Kurenai looked to Asuma hoping that there was at least one caller. There was none. She looked at Lee with apologetic eyes.

"I'm sorry Lee but-"

"Oh it's all right Kurenai-sensei! I understand that the youth of my generation are a bit shy. And for charity I will pay for myself!"

So Lee paid Kurenai 500yen and left the stage with the dignity he had left.

"Okay. So now we have Shikamaru Nara. Shikamaru is a genius at heart but he is quite lazy. His favorite things to do are sleep and watch clouds. Staring bid at 5,000yen. Any takers?"

Not as much as Neji had, but Shikamaru had about 15 girls raising their cards for him. Unlike Neji, who had looked pleases with himself when all those girls screamed for him, Shikamaru just looked bored. The only way he'd enjoy himself tonight was if the woman of his dreams bought him. As he thought that thought, Shikamaru heard the voice of the woman of his dreams.

"460,000yen!"

Temari had originally brought 460,100yen with her but she had to give her Tenten 100 of it because she just had to help her best friend. Everyone had put their cards down except her and that Ino girl. But before Ino could call out a bid higher than hers, Temari tackled her to the ground so fast Ino had no time to get her next breath out. Temari did this without being noticed by Kurenai, all while still holding her won card up.

Just then she heard Kurenai shout, "Sold! To the girl in the pink top!"

Temari jumped up off of Ino screaming, "Success!"

She ran to the stage towards Shikamaru, who surprisingly didn't look so bored anymore. But Ino was right behind her.

"That's not fair! She broke one of the rules! She attacked me!"

Kurenai was astonished.

"Is this true young lady?"

"Of course not! She has no proof!"

"Yes I do!" Ino turned to the other girls in the audience. "Right guys? You all saw her attack me!"

Temari gave everyone a death glare, daring anyone to speak against her. When no one did, she smiled approvingly.

"As you can see, no one saw anything. So here's the money and if you don't mind I'd like to take my prize on our date now."

So Temari gave Kurenai her money, grabbed Shikamaru and dragged him out to her car. Although he didn't show it, Shikamaru was quite happy and inwardly smiling.

`Yes!`

"Next up we have Sasuke Uchiha. He is the last of his clan and has the ability to see through anything and anyone. He is very smart, very strong, and very determined. The starting bid will be 5,000yen. Any taker?"

But Sasuke still hadn't come one stage.

"Where is he?" shouted someone from the audience.

Kurenai turned around and sure enough, Sasuke wasn't there behind her where he was supposed to be. Shizune ran from the back instead.

"He's gone. Him and Uzumaki. They're both gone!"

Kurenai smiled knowingly and turned back to the audience.

"Well it looks like that concludes our auction for tonight."

Shouts of protest erupted from the audience, the loudest came from a sobbing Sakura. Kurenai just laughed knowingly exactly where the two boys were and exactly what they were doing.

"Have a safe trip everyone! You don't have to go home but you can't stay here!"

Tenten's P.O.V.

Oh yes! I got Neji!

Still got him too.

Right now I'm trying to suppress a moan due to the Neji I got.

He was sucking and biting this sweet spot I have on my neck.

He got to it so quickly too.

He must've discovered it some time last night.

Hmmm... I wonder how Temari's night turned out.
