Hoo-hoo! Hi, everyone! Thank you for all of those reviews! That's the most I have EVER gotten! That doesn't make me sound too good, does it? Ah, well! Next chapter! HERE IT COMES!

Oh, and sorry if I don't answer some of the question. I only won't answer the question that are WAY too obvious.

"Ne, ne Tenten-chan! What's he doing here?" Naruto glared coldly at the Hyuuga beside me, who was looking away pointedly, obviously not in the mood.

"Naruto! He's here to apologize for what he did to you! Right, Neji-kun?"

"No." I elbowed Neji sharply in the ribs, making him jump. "I mean… hn, whatever."

"Right, Neji-kun?!" My voice was dangerous, and loud – almost ear-splitting, as Neji described to me later on. I grinned evilly as Neji mumbled a soft 'Yes', before turning away once again. Naruto stared at me as if I had just escaped from an insane asylum, because the look on my face made me laugh after I had done it in front of a mirror.

Naruto cleared his throat uncomfortably, and shifted in his bed, wincing as he settled on a seemingly tender spot. That made me look at him with light sadness, but in return I received a pitiful 'Don't, Tenten-chan,' and I immediately got back to the task at hand.

"Now, Neji-kun… just like we rehearsed…" I nudged Neji painfully, making him jump again, and when he didn't speak, I made a threatening motion towards his hair, and he quickly stepped away, a frightened look on his face.

"Naruto, I'm sorry that I beat you to a bloody pulp, I was a dickhead and I won't ever do it again. Ever." I stepped on the Hyuuga's toes. "Ever." He repeated through gritted teeth, and I pinched his arm. "Ever. Ever. Ever."

"Err… Thank you," Naruto said, with a pathetically bewildered expression on his face. He looked scared, and he pushed farther into his pillows in a try to get as far away from Neji as he possibly could, but I kept the Hyuuga there, holding him in place as he tried to run for the door.

"Say it," I said firmly, grabbing his ear with two fingers and pinching. Neji hissed.

"Say what?" He growled throatily, wincing as I pulled on his ear.

"Say it!"

"Say wh—I'm sorry!" Neji whined the words out of his mouth and he yelled it out every time I pulled on his ear. And even I learned a great lesson. If you want guys to say something they don't want to say, pull on their ears and they'll say it until they die.

And so it continues…

Pull. "I'm sorry!"

"No, you're not."

Pull. "I'm sorry!"

"No, you're not."

Sharp tug. "I'm freaking sorry already!"

I smiled devilishly. "That's better. Now, why are you sorry?"

"Because I killed Naruto—"

I practically tore off Neji's ear. "He doesn't look dead to me."

"Because I almost killed Naruto—"

"He doesn't look like he's dying to me, either." I wiggled his ear playfully. He growled at me, and glared at me with such loathing… Oh, if only looks could kill, I'd be dead already.

"Because I hurt Naruto."

"Good boy." I patted the top of Neji's head with my free hand, and I could have sworn he tried to bite me. I jerked my hand away quickly, and gave his ear a very sharp tug. "Getting desperate, are we?" He snarled a curse. I smirked in a very Hyuuga Neji-like way, and he scowled. He was getting a taste of his own medicine, and I couldn't have been more satisfied. "Now, Neji-kun…" He frowned at me distastefully. I knew he hated that nickname of his. "Why did you hurt Naruto?"

"Because he kissed you." I could hear bitterness in Neji's voice, and looked away, but there was also something that was masked beneath the cold bitterness. Was it… regret?

I studied the part of the Hyuuga's face that was still visible to me. His eyes were lowered, and his teeth were almost bared. What was he regretting? Was he regretting beating up Naruto? If so, then… why? Or… was he regretting yelling at me?

My hand dropped to my side, and I expected Neji to run for the door, but instead, he just sighed and stayed where he was. I glanced at Naruto, and I saw something in his expression… his face… it was probably something I'd never understand. Men are just too complicated.

I felt something heavy settle on my shoulders, and my heart skipped a bit. A slightly happiness filled me for a moment, but it vanished quickly as I realized that that heaviness on my shoulders wasn't on the outside, but on the inside. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach, and I felt sick. And before I knew it, I was being dragged outside by the arm, and I was whirled around to face the one man I didn't want to see.

"N-Neji…" I stared into his cold, white eyes feeling small, intimidated. The regret I've seen before had disappeared, and was replaced by freezing rage. I wanted to run and not look at him again, but my body wasn't moving. I was trapped, cornered. Why did I have to do that… humiliate him? Is that why he looked angry? Well, he deserved it!

"Tenten," His voice was firm, soft, but not dangerous like the last time. It was serious. It was the tone he used when he was telling the truth. That tone that made me want to kill myself on the spot. I felt pinned by his unwavering gaze, and every time he used that tone, he only spoke to me.

I should have felt flattered, because that tone was unique, and it usually told me what he wanted to say without actually saying anything… but this time, I couldn't quite figure out what he wanted to tell me. I should have felt flattered, but instead I felt as if he was strangling me with his bare hands. It was hard to breathe, and I wanted to gasp but I suppressed the sudden urge. I stared at him, and felt the blood drain from my face as his face darkened. It was never a good sign.

"Tenten," He repeated, but this time, softer and gentler. Suddenly, his face was less than a millimeter away from mine, and his forehead was pressed against mine, and our lips were brushing. I gasped, as he captured my lips possessively, claiming them as his own. I was surprised for a moment, but soon gave into the kiss, and closed my eyes. My knees buckled underneath my weight, and I felt myself fall, but Neji snaked his arm around my waist for support and pushed me into his chest.

Once our lips separated, I felt faint, though very disappointed that it had to end so soon. I looked up at Neji, and watched as his eyes started to shine with something that looked suspiciously like lust. I just stared at him breathlessly, my lungs working furiously, but not able to get enough air to allow me to breathe properly.

"Tenten," His voice was very close to my ear now, and I found myself staring into his mane of long, brown hair, which smelled like… strawberries. I made a mental note to myself to tease him about his choice of shampoo, but at the moment I just didn't care. Neji was close… so close… and he had just given me the kiss I've been dreaming of for months on end… is this true? Or is it still that same dream? I pinched my hand, and winced slightly. No, it wasn't a dream. Thank god… "I don't want anyone else kissing you, but me." He sounded serious, possessive, and all I could do was nod. "I don't want anyone else holding you, but me." I nodded again. I felt safe… protected… there in his arms. "I don't want any other man talking to you, but me."

At this, I pushed away from him, flaring up at once. "What do you mean, Neji?" I growled, a hand pushing him away as he tried to hold on to me again.

"Precisely what I said." I raised a brow at his unclear answer.

"What about Naruto?"

"Especially him." Neji had now stopped struggling to get to me, and just crossed his arms, watching me from the top of his nose. I frowned at him. So he still thinks he's in charge, eh? I grabbed two fistfuls of his shirt, and pulled his face close to mine. From there I glared daggers directly into his eyes, but almost drowning in his snowy, lustful…

"Don't you dare look down at me, Hyuuga," I hissed at him, not realizing our close proximities. He just grinned maliciously at me grabbed my lips with his own for a quick kiss, but I pulled away sharply, making his grin widen. "You're sick."

"Hn," He hummed, straightening his back for he had to bend down to kiss me. I'm quite a bit shorter than him. Then, with the quickest motion, he scooped me up in his arms – bridal style, but I was prepared for it. I grabbed his ear and gave it a pull, causing Neji to drop me. I landed square on my feet.

"Rule number one," I muttered seductively, dragging his ear down so I whispering into it. "Never take advantage of your superiors, not matter what height they are. Right, Neji?"

He smirked, and I let go of his ear. Just as I was about to turn away, I felt his forehead bump against mine, but not hard, and I found myself staring into the milky-white depths of his eyes. "It's Neji-kun."

I stepped into my hospital room, where the rest of the gang was waiting, Neji trailing extremely close behind me. I swear, he was actually stepping on my heels! I shot him a cold glare as he 'accidentally' stepped on my heel again, but he took no notice of me whatsoever. That infuriated me, and I managed to step on his toes on my way to the bed, where Hinata-san was sitting up in, staring blankly at us as we entered.

"What took you so long?" I glanced at Sakura, who watched me with a look of dawning comprehension as I quickly gestured towards Neji's still hand-printed cheek. "Oh… I see…" I nodded curtly, keeping my face as carefully blank as possible – something I learned from that certain white-eyed bastardly individual who decided to charm me into his arms, and then kiss me senseless.

"Ugh," I sighed disgustedly, scolding myself for being so weak and gullible. Neji gave me a questioning look, but I ignored him. I fell down onto the bed, glaring daggers at anything that I laid my eyes on.

First, it was Neji, who seated himself between Hinata-san and myself on the bed, and was looking at me questioningly still. Then, at Shikamaru who was still sitting on the chair, looking very satisfied with himself – and Ino who was stroking his head softly, looking bored. Then, at Sakura who was watching me with a knowing smirk, and Sasuke who was eyeing Sakura with an almost hungry expression. He looked away immediately after he had seen I spotted him. I scoffed at him, bringing much unwanted attention to myself, and Sasuke shot me a warning look which I disregarded in the most painful way I could possible think off.

"Say, Sakura," I started, and Sasuke waved his hands wildly at me. I ignored him completely, just as I ignored the totally pissed off Hyuuga at my side, who was looking at me apathetically. "I noticed Sasuke staring at you. Is there something going on with you two?"

Sasuke made a motion of choking me, but I just continued to look at Sakura, suppressing a smirk. She blinked at me, brushed a pink lock out of her face, and looked over her shoulder at the Uchiha, who turned his back on both of us, his arms crossed. Blinking again, Sakura just shrugged.

"Is there?" She asked. It was my turn to blink stupidly. I would have thought Sakura would have put up a bigger fight with Sasuke. My predictions were correct as I watched the pink-haired girl call on Sasuke, who still didn't answer. "Sasuke-kun?" Sakura walked up to him. "Sasuke-kun." She tapped him on the shoulder. The Uchiha jumped, and whirled around, his dark eyes wide.

"Huh?"

"Why were you staring?"

Sasuke gulped, and shot me a nervous glance. "I…uhh… gotta go to the bathroom!"

"S-Sasuke-kun?" The Haruno raced after as Sasuke slammed the sliding door off into the wall, making a considerably big dent.

"I'm gonna go check on Naruto-kun." Hinata's timid voice was slightly off its usual tune, and she stood up, and dreamily followed the other two down the hall. The screams and shouts of 'Sasuke-kun!' and 'Get off my case, Sakura!' still echoed in the hall when the sliding door to Naruto's room closed.

After a minute or two of silence, I had an urge to exit the hospital room, out of which I was already signed out, anyways. I wasn't supposed to be here… but, Tsunade-sama would have kicked me out already, wouldn't have she?

"I need to go to the washroom," I muttered, abruptly standing up from the bed, making Neji jump. "Excuse me." I felt his glare at the back of my head, but walked on nonetheless. I seriously had to leave all that… silence… behind. As I stepped out of my room, I gasped the fresh, tension-free air, and felt satisfied for the first time. The air was breathable. It had to be some sort of miracle.

I leaned against the wall behind me, and slid down it until I was sitting on the floor, resting my head on my knees. I closed my eyes, and started to doze off until I felt something on my shoulder. Something heavy. I opened an eye heavily, and almost screamed at the sight of the Hyuuga's perfectly white eyes right in front of mine. I knew I would have yelled if Neji's hand was clapped against my mouth.

"Com'n. Let's get out of here. I'm getting bored." I glared at him as he helped me up, and for some unknown reason, practically flew towards the exit door! The only thing I could do was snarl curses at him, until I realized that my feet weren't feeling too comfortable.

"Neji!" I whined, tugging at his arm as he opened the door. "I need to get my shoes!"

Hoorah! My dear friends! ZE CHAPTER IZ FEENEESHED!! Bee haappee!

Explanations:

La la la la! La la! La la! La la la la! La la! La la! And that will continue for a while! Anyways... No, Tenten did NOT have her shoes on the entire time she was in the hospital, because... somehow, she had lost the feeling in her feet, and only discovered that when she actually started to think about how her feet would feel if she started to run down the street with nothing but socks on. Not very good, I think. Also. Naruto was not beaten up too much. Only a couple of bruises and scratches. I'm surprised I didn't make Neji violent in this. Hinata was dreamy and whatever because she had only just awoken from her little crying-herself-to-sleep incident, and yes she was asleep when Tsunade came around. Ino was stroking Shikamaru's hair because... he... needed... a head... massage? I guess.

Songs - as usual.

Okay! I will be deciding on the list until I write the concert chapters which shouldn't be too far away. I hope you realized that Ino, Sakura and Tenten are dancer, and the band's name will be revealed at the time of concert chapters!

Shut Up - Simple Plan

Harmonia - Rythem

Far Away - Nickelback

I'd Do Anything - Simple Plan

The Reason - Hoobastank

A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

U + Ur Hand - Pink

How To Save A Life - The Fray

Rockstar (Already used.) - Nickelback.

I choose the songs by the voice of the characters. When I hear the right voice, and it matches the setting and all the rest, and I like the song, I choose it. Some of them might be old. Some of them might be new, I don't care. Whatever. Just as long as I am satisfied. Also, I will be writing a separate chapter for each song.

Goals:

My goal is thirty reviews of the entire story. Of course, the goal will be raised in numbers by the chapters, and I'm hoping to get hundred at the most by the end. Please review and help me with my goal! Thank you very much! READ AND REVIEW NO JUTSU! And by the way, I know my goal sounds a bit selfish, but please bear with me. .

-- Symphie!
