A/N: Thanks to everyone out there reading this for being patient. I know the last chapter was a little uninvolving but hopefully I got it right this time. As a warning this chapter will be contain explicit material of a sexual nature. If you find this unappealing I suggest the notion of skipping the second half of this chapter.

Tenten's heart was pounding. She was on a mission. She had raced back to confront the one she loved before losing her forever. Reaching the Hyuga girl's home, she had found Hinata was yet to return from the day's training excursion. Considering, the decision Hinata faced it wasn't at all surprising that she would have been delayed in her return. However, that didn't make the wait any more bearable.

But all she could do was wait; wait, and hope that she would be accepted. Still with each passing moment, the doubt in her mind kept telling her to go back, to run away. When she saw Hinata on the horizon, her soft white eyes and lustrous dark hair glistening in the light of the setting sun, she felt the clouds of doubt part as she rushed forth to confront the girl.

"Tenten… What are you doing back here at this time?" Hinata called, surprised upon seeing her friend.

"I needed to talk to you." Tenten asserted forcefully.

"O-okay…" Hinata said confused.

"Have you come to a decision?" Tenten asked cuttingly.

"I-I don't think I have much choice. I-I don't want to let everyone down." Hinata said with an air of sadness.

"So you'd let yourself down… you'd let… me down." Tenten spoke weightily.

"I-I… I'm sorry. I know you expect me to be strong, to make my own decisions, to try harder. B-but I just can't, I'm not-… I don't have your strength." Hinata spoke distantly.

"Well… would you like it?" Tenten added with a courageous smile.

"W-what? What do you mean?" Hinata asked bewildered.

"Would you like my strength? Would you share it with me and allow me to share your's?" Tenten said with a look of greatness.

"Tenten… w-what are you saying? I-I… you don't mean…" Hinata gave a hard gasp.

"If you had my strength to rely on then maybe be able to find the strength in yourself… and I promise I would do everything in my power to make you happy…" Tenten continued, forcedly any thought of turning back was impossible now.

"T-then you… then this is…I don't know what to… then the one you said y-you admire is m-me?" Hinata had a look of sheer terror on her face.

"Correct… Hinata, I love you. I understand if you are not willing to accept that. I understand if you choose not to accept it. But before you make a choice regarding what direction you're going, I thought I should let you know." Tenten said staring fixedly at the object of her affections.

"S-so all this time…. When we talked when we trained… you… you." Hinata started failingly.

"Yes I lied to you the whole time. Every time I told you to listen to your heart and find the strength within yourself, I was fighting my hardest to keep how I truly felt a secret while letting your smile fuel my most impure of thoughts." Tenten said in a cold unflinching manner.

"I'm sorry." Hinata said quietly.

"You don't need to apologize; It's my fault for having such feelings." Tenten said with a look of disdain.

"All this time… you were suffering inside. You had these feeling inside but I couldn't see it. I really am useless; I can't even tell the difference between love and simple friendship. You were hurting but all I could do was make it worse." Hinata said, tears now rolling from her eyes.

"It's okay. It's done now…" Tenten replied; she had told herself repeatedly to be strong but the sight of tears on Hinata's eyes brought a degree of wetness to her own.

"No. I want this... I want you. Show me how I can become someone strong." Hinata responded emotionally, closing the gap between her and the other in reflex.

Tenten didn't respond verbally. The faint moonlight glistening off of Hinata's smooth skin guided her, instead to the girl's lips. As the two kissed, she looked fixedly into Hinata's soft pale eyes, reveling in the fact that they stared with equal intensity into her own. It really made Tenten happy the way Hinata accepted her kiss and applied as much passion to it as she did. She allowed her hands to caress the girl's back softly, slowly taking her into a soft embrace as the kiss escalated to a passionate level. Tenten soon felt the curious motions of Hinata's tongue at her lips and met it with her own, soon finding her way deep into Hinata's mouth. Her heart was beating hard as she held the girl tighter and tighter to her frame until after a moment's more of pleasure, Tenten broke away.

"A-amazing… I didn't know it felt like this to kiss someone…" Hinata started dreamily.

"Yeah, I-I… I'm glad you liked it…" Tenten said shyly.

"Tell me… how many time have you thought about kissing me like that?" Hinata asked in an oddly enthusiastic way.

"I don't know… More than I should have…" Tenten confessed with a blush.

"So what do we do next?" Hinata said smiling.

"Uh… Well… that really depends on what we want to do. I mean this is a new thing so we probably should go slow at first." Tenten felt it odd she was having more trouble now then she was with actually confessing to the girl.

"No, that's not true. You've loved me for a long time. I need to catch up. So we should do what you want." Hinata said in a slightly sensual, that made Tenten blush a vibrant red.

"Alright, then let's head back to my place, and see what happens." Tenten said with a laugh; something in Hinata's voice told her that this girl was somehow just as eager to consummate their relationship on the physical end as she was.

"Yeah…" Hinata cooed lovingly.

The two began the walk back to Tenten's apartment. Tenten couldn't help but smile. She was not only able to convey her feelings to Hinata, but at least for the moment they were being returned. Deeply excited thoughts crossed her mind as she felt the young girl holding tightly to her arm. When she returned to reality, they were already in her home.

"So what do you want to do, Hinata?" Tenten asked meekly, still hoping to avoid offending the fragile girl.

"I'm not experienced with this sort of thing. I was hoping you knew what we were supposed to do." Hinata said in a withdrawn way.

"Then we'll just pick up where we left off and see where it takes us." Tenten said softly and waited for a nod before closing in to resume kissing the Hyuga girl.

Like magic, the earlier passion returned in an instance as Tenten felt the girl's tongue flicker across her teeth, slowing exploring the form of her mouth. With the new sense of privacy the two had, Tenten felt obliged to be more direct with the girl, kissing harder and deeper while excitedly caressing Hinata's feminine body with her hands. Hinata clung tight to her as their lips parted with gasping breaths. It was obvious Hinata wanted everything Tenten wanted; as assorted garments fell softly to the ground, Tenten knew that within moments her dreams would become reality.

Tenten moved in placing another soft kiss before moving sensually across the newly revealed flesh of the girl's neck and shoulders to eventually adorn Hinata's ample bust with due attention. She lavished the center of either mound of flesh with her mouth and tongue while listening eagerly to the faint hot moans that signaled her lover's pleasure. She knew she desired better access to that pleasure.

Rubbing her hand across Hinata's chest and down her stomach, Tenten proceeded to force apart Hinata's legs, eagerly feeling at the wetness of the warm center. She moved slowly and hotly to begin the endeavor of pleasuring the girl orally, attaching her mouth to this pleasure spot. It was amazing how with each subtle movement of her tongue, Hinata would make such incredible, cute sounds while coating Tenten's tongue with more and more hot fluid.

Hinata soon was laid atop Tenten's bed, her legs spread wide open saliva trickling out of her mouth as she excitedly accepted Tenten's pleasuring licks. Such a sight was amazing; to think that she was bringing the one she loved such incredible pleasure was overwhelming. In a sudden movement, Tenten moved so that her lips once more met Hinata's, while she slowly began to pulse at the girl's sex with her hand. Hinata's grip was incredible as she held Tenten to her, lustfully flailing her tongue about the other as she took in her own taste, while forcing Tenten's subtle pulses to transform into increasingly hard and quick thrusts. Tenten was enthralled when she felt the girls leg slip between hers; Hinata, it seemed, was eager to see her receive pleasure from this as well. This just made Tenten's thrusts more aggressive as she tried to insert more and more of her hand into Hinata's tight slit. Hinata came with a hard moan coating several of Tenten's fingers with hot juices that were readily licked off.

Hinata took a few moments to breathe before pulling her lover in for another kiss and then proceeding to feel Tenten's body with her hands. It was rather obvious that her moment of sexual escalation had done little to quell the burning desire within her heart as she moved herself in under Tenten, her mouth finding its way between Tenten's thighs. Tenten felt as Hinata tongue licked deep inside her. She felt the girl explore the depth of her core while vibrantly and surprisingly precisely targeting all of the most sensitive areas.

Tenten could sense from the frequency of Hinata's breath and the way she periodically continued to touch herself, that giving her pleasure was as much a turn on to Hinata as pleasuring Hinata had been for her. As she became more and more lost to the incredible heat of the moment, Tenten moved lustfully, spreading Hinata's legs once more to slide herself between them. Hinata gave a hot sexual smile as she felt Tenten press her sex against her own. Tenten began to pulse with motion as she let the ensuing friction of her thrusts send both her and her lover into a state of delusioned moans and intense cries. In minutes, Tenten felt the intense pleasure of her climax and realizing the great wetness that flowed in-between the tangled mass of legs. After a few more seconds of thrusting Hinata found herself subject to a second eruption.

The girls broke from one another as their bodies struggled to relax. Tenten found herself collapsed in Hinata's arms. She found another kiss placed deeply on her mouth, before forcing herself off the girl and to her side. Tenten opened her mouth to speak, but found no words. There was nothing between them left to be expressed in words that these actions hadn't already covered. As it was, she loved Hinata, and her love was returned equally. She was happy, she was loved, and her heart was not to be shattered. She felt the relaxing grasp of sleep pull her in as she feel deeper into the arms of the one she loved.

A/N: Alright, done with that chapter. Turned out pretty good. I hope the dialogue wasn't too cheesy. I know when it comes to this overdramatic dialogue it's hard to get things just perfect. I think I handled the sex pretty good, but I'll let you be the judge of that. Overall this chapter was a relatively straightforward one, just like the next one will be. Yeah, expect a simple conclusion next week. Well, until then, see ya.
