Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto!

So sorry for taking so long to update! I read my reviews over, and I saw my story on some story alerts, so it made me really happy and wanted to write.. Seeing as I left it at a cliff-hanger lol.. Sorry bout that one!… so I forced myself to write this for you guys! I hope its okay! As much as I forced myself, I still worked hard on it.. Cuz I don't want it to be rushed through even though I wanna get to the good parts.. There is a bit of discussion of other couples but I don't necessarily like those couples, it just fits for the plot, so sorry if you guys don't like some of the pairings…So here it is!

Thanks again to my reviewers!!

He thinks what I'm doing is foolish? How dare he! He's the one letting someone else walk all over him! I'm standing up for what I believe in. I thought he would too. "It doesn't concern or affect me," he says. Pfft. He likes to think that way. And even if it doesn't affect him directly, it still affects people he knows!

Flashback

******************************************

"Why are you fighting in this rebellion, might I ask?"

"Neji, did Sukao ever tell you why he re-arranged the teams?" " Or did it ever occur to you, why there are no Kuniochi on your team?"

And they call him a Genius.

"hn."

"Don't hn. Me!" "He apparently wanted to ban all ninja activity, but decided not to on account that it provides 80% of jobs in Kohona." "Did you know that he shut down the academy?" "Tsunada's ninja service is only still running to keep the current ninja's employed!"

" And how does it this affect me again?"

Tenten is clenching her fists at this point.

"Because me, your FORMER team mate, is no longer a ninja!" "Apparently since he couldn't stop the ninja service center because of the jobs, he decided to cut the numbers." "And guess who he cut?" "Girls!" "Apparently we don't need to be ninja, we can just marry one and that's income coming into the household!" Tenten starts to stand up. "That sexist Bastar-!"

Neji grabs her arm and pulls her back to the floor.

"Tenten you need to remain quieter and stop drawing attention to us."

Tenten removes her arm from his hand. "Easy for you to say." "So that's the reason, because I'm a girl!" "Sorry but I'm not going to be a house-wife!" "My dream is to be a Kuniochi!" "I'm not going to let him just walk all over me!"

"Have any of the other Kuniochi complained?"

"No." " Ino's using it as an excuse to marry Shikamaru, Sakura doesn't really care(she lives with her 'rents anyways, and Hinata will probably use the opportunity to get close to Naruto."

"Did you ever think that it's because they know it's useless to fight back?"

"No!" "They just don't care!" "They were doomed to be house-wives anyways!" "If they wanted something as bad as I want to be a Kuniochi, they'd do it too!" Then Tenten's tone lowered, and she had almost a depressed look on her face. "Besides, I need the income, I don't have parents I can just live with until I'm married."

Then Neji smirked and sounded almost cocky.

"Tenten, I'm not going to marry you right now, but if you need a place to stay, you can stay in the Hyuga compound."

"Hmph!" Tenten sounded, in an offended way. "I didn't come here to ask you for anything." "I joined the rebellion because I am capable of taking care of myself, thank you very much!"

And with that, Tenten stood up and stormed out of the tea shop.

End of Flashback

Tenten was furiously stomping through the village as she thought about the previous events.

I can't believe him! I mean the nerve of-…

"Oh Kiba, I'm sorry, I was thinking about some stuff and then wasn't really paying attention to where I was going and-"

"Oh hey Tenten!" "Don't worry about it!" the fanged man said with a smile on his face. "I was just taking Akamaru for a walk."

"A walk?" "Why would you-" "Hey!"

"Why's Akamaru wearing a leash?"

The End.

Ok so I was going to make it longer, but I really wanted to end it here…. it's a little bit of a cliff-hanger if u wanna call it that… and I'm sorry for that.. But I just love em! I'm considering making it a NejiTenKiba love triangle.. don't know yet.. It wasn't my original plan but I think I might want to.. Kiba is my next choice under Neji so it could mix it up a little… as far as NejiTen fluff I know it hasn't been really introduced yet.. But its going to grow and happen once I get further into the story and plot..So there it is.. Again any constructive critism is appreciated.. Seeing as I'm still trying to learn how to write good.. So yea, I'll TRY to update soon!
