Later that day, after the kids had tired themselves out, we decided to take them back to their house. Since their mom was going to be gone for the next few days, Neji and I had both packed some clothes and things before going to their house so we could be there overnight just in case. The sun was setting just as we had reached their neighborhood. Neji's Byakugan was activated once again. I thought I saw Kari and Matt exchange looks, or in this case, eye colors.

"Hyuuga- san?" Kari addressed Neji hesitantly, "is your Byakugan a bloodline limit?"

"Hn," he said with a nod.

"It... looks painful." Matt stated. Neji turned to look at him.

"It doesn't hurt," he said "it's very useful once you learn how to use it properly"

"How does it work?" Kohaku asked, amazed. The whole way home, Kohaku, Kari, and Neji talked about bloodline limits. It seemed to me that the two had taken a liking to him. I smiled inwardly. Who could blame them? He was smart, powerful, and... hot... I slapped myself mentally. I can't be thinking things like that. He can never know...

"Tenten?" Neji's voice sounded, shaking me loose of my thoughts. "you have the key, could you open the door?"

"Oh, sure, sorry!" I said, flustered, as I reached into my pocket and pulled out the key.

"Hey Tenten?" Matt called me after we had let ourselves in

"Yeah?"

"Do you think that, maybe tomorrow, you could show me how to use this?" he held up a kunai. "I heard that you're a really good weapon's mistress, and that you can aim really good." I smiled at him, touched.

"Okay, how about in the afternoon?"

"Sounds good!" he grinned at me, and I heard his stomach growl.

"Sounds like you gave yourself an appetite playing as hard as you did," I said, giggling.

"C'mon," he said, pulling my arm "Mom left us some ramen that she made herself. It's in the fridge."

"How about you go wash up, and I'll heat it up, okay?"

"Okay!" he said as he walked to the bathroom at the end of the hall. I got into the kitchen to find Neji already in there, his Byakugan, once again, deactivated.

"Matt says that his mom made ramen and that we could heat it up," I said

"Fine," was his stoic reply. Ten minutes later, we all sat around the square table, with our chopsticks, with Matt talking about how his mom makes the best ramen in the world.

"Hope Naruto doesn't hear him," I muttered only loud enough for Neji to hear. He smirked. The evening passed quickly. At about nine, I told the kids that they should go to bed. I was kind of surprised that they didn't argue, but simply said "goodnight" to Neji and me.

"I think I'm gonna go to bed too, " I said, trying to conceal a yawn. Wow. I never realized how tiring kids can be sometimes, even if you're just watching them play. Neji nodded to show that he heard. I went into the guest bedroom, got on my pj's and let my hair down. The room was quaint with two beds, one for Neji and one for me, and had a small balcony that looked out into the east, so you could watch the sun rise. I surveyed myself in the mirror. I hardly recognized myself with my hair down, though I didn't think I looked that bad. My eyes strayed to the pj's I had brought. My tank top was lilac with white polka dots. My sweat pants, which were the same color and pattern of my shirt, were really comfy for an evening like this- warm, but not warm enough to get sweaty. I picked up a brush and began to brush my hair just as a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in," I said. Neji came in, with black sweat pants and a black shirt. So, that's what he wears to bed, I thought to myself. I thought I saw his eyes widen as he saw me. I thought I knew why. It was extremely rare that I wore my hair down at all, so Neji must have been surprised seeing me like that.

Neji's POV-

Wow. I've never seen Tenten with her hair down before. It's so silky and shiny... why hasn't she ever worn it that way before? I really should stop staring at her, but for some reason, it's kinda hard to stop…

Tenten's POV-

Okay… as much as I love it when Neji looks at me, this is getting kinda weird.

I climbed into bed and said, "well… um… goodnight, Neji," I said, trying to sound as though I hadn't noticed anything. Neji must have gone back to normal, because he got into his bed, and just said "Hn." I smiled into my pillow. What else should I expect from an emotionless Hyuuga?

I'm on a writing spazm, so the fifth chap should come out soon. until then, c ya!
