Chapter 4

Neji creaked the door open. Tenten turned to see Neji, whose weakness was seeing Tenten cry. Neji wrapped his arms around Tenten (who blushed) and Ayame, wiping tears off Tenten's face. "Tenten, you are definitely not alone. We are a family."
"Oh I was just singing about how me and Ayame are 2 peas in a pod. Both orphans."

Neji stared at her, "3 peas in a pod," he whispered, but Tenten didn't hear.

Tenten set sleeping Ayame in the crib and wrapped her arms tighter around Neji.

"You want to go get some lunch?" Neji asked, "Jariaya decided to come here for dinner tonight…"

Tenten smiled, "Love to. But you know, JARIAYA might be there and a husband always treats a wife."
Neji smirked, "Hn."

"WHAT?" the screams of a very infuriated Tenten echoed through the Hyuuga compound.

"Let me repeat the plan… Tenten…" Hiashi said.

"I know the plan! I want to change it!" Tenten screamed.

Neji was meditating.

"We shall eat dinner in the dining hall. Tenten, next to Neji, and Ayame next to Tenten. Jariaya and I shall sit across from you. We eat. When Neji says that it is time for Ayame to go to bed she says goodnight and Tenten carries her to the crib then returns. After dessert I will mention business discussing. Neji and Tenten will kiss as Tenten leaves. Oh yes, and Tenten, let your hair out of the buns…" Hiashi said.

"No!" screamed Tenten, "Bad plan! Veeryy bad plan! Me and Neji… kissing? No way, Hiashi."

"Calm down Tenten. We will follow through with the plan, Hiashi-Sama! Let's go play with Ayame, Tenten!"

"Ouch! Neji! Let go of my hand! Hiashi! I'm not done speaking to youuu!" yelled an angry Tenten being dragged out of the room by Neji, who simply muttered, "Hn."

Jariaya was already seated next to Hiashi when Neji, Tenten, and Ayame walked in.
"Oh!" Jariaya exclaimed, "What a beautiful wife you have, Neji, I presume?"

Tenten had followed Hiashi's orders, to Tenten's dismay and put her hair down.

"This is my wife, Tenten, and our daughter, Ayame." Neji introduced.

"You are stunning Tenten…" said Jariaya, acting like a 'pervy sage.'

Neji, without even thinking about it, put an arm around his fake wife's waist and shooting Jariaya a "she's mine" look.

Tenten laughed, "Neji! I didn't know you were so PROTECTIVE."

Neji responded with a "Hn."

"Sit down, my nephew, niece-in-law." Hiashi said.

Tenten took a seat next to Neji, who, shockingly, sensed her feeling of being an outsider and grasped her hand.
"Neji?" Jiraiya was asking him something.

"I thought the Byakugan was the dominate trait." Glancing at Ayame.

"It is." Said Neji, not thinking. Tenten slapped his hand and mouthed 'wrong answer' as Jiraiya's eyes widened.

"But Ayame-"Jiraiya started.

"Tenten, I think it is time you put Ayame to bed," said Hiashi, sensing the tension.

Ayame was already asleep in the chair and Tenten awakened her.
Ayame smiled, "Kaa-san!"

Tenten smiled back, "Time for bed, Ayame-chan!"

Ayame nodded before, out of nowhere, throwing her arms around Neji's neck and placing a kiss on his cheek, "I love you Tou-san! Good night!"

Neji was shocked. Had Tenten? Neji turned to his 'wife'. Her eyes were wide in shock as she pried Ayame off of Neji and walked off upstairs.

Tenten returned in a little bit and Jiraiya turned to see Tenten, "Tenten-chan, Hyuuga-san, Ayame isn't your daughter, is she?" He raised a brow.
Tenten sighed, "She's adopted. Her father was an Uchiha. Her mother was a medic. They had- died. We took her in."
Jiraiya's brow turned upwards, "But you are going to have children that are your very own right?"

Tenten spit her water across the table and Neji did the same.

"Is it business time yet, Hiashi-sama?" asked Jiraiya impatiently.

Hiashi nodded at Tenten. She gulped. This was her cue to go. Kissing… Neji?

Neji turned to her, but something new was in his white eyes. Tenten's stomach fluttered. What is this feeling? Could this be… love? She smiled and said, "I'll see you later, Neji-kun."
Somehow, he winced at Neji-kun and Tenten giggled, before leaning into Neji…
