A/N- I know I would've updated but I've been so messed up lately, my sleeping pattern that is. I am writing this at 4 am but you guys don't care about that. ON TOO THE STORY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or it's characters.
Tenten's POV
I was still annoyed with Neji and Karin but that's not even the worst part. The worst part was the stupid 'punishment/vacation trip' that I'll have to spend with her, it's practically torture. Imagining a week day by day with that red-headed skank, it's punishment on it's own. What's her problem with me anyways? She must be insecure just looking at me. Yes! that's it. Sighing I slapped my forehead. How can I act like a big shot? That's so out of character for me, and I'm not that confident in the appearance department.
I was sitting on kitchen floor. It was past midnight and everyone was sleeping upstairs. I had to get out, I felt Ino was hogging the bed and somehow they all piled on top of my bed and when I asked them to get off they claimed they were guests. I then asked them if they would like to sleep in the guest room. They pushed me off the bed and muttered that 'this is the guest room baka'. I left them walking down the stairs wanting something to eat. Because I obviously couldn't sleep, I had to much to think about.
And here I am chewing on some bread cause I couldn't find anything else to eat. Sighing I stood up to walk back to my room when I heard a creak of a wooden floorboard. My senses were on full alert as I whipped out the pocketknife from my sweatpants pointing it in the direction of the creaking sound. I stood still watching the silhouette inch towards me. Both hands up in front of his chest as in to say. 'I come in peace' Lowering my knife and putting it back in my pocket I resumed my original stance. I looked at him for a brief second before glaring at the man in front of me.
"Can't sleep?" He asks. I shrug and stop walking realizing he's blocking the entrance with his body. 'Whats it matter to you, huh fish head?!' Inner said. I crinkled my eyebrows in confusion. 'Fish head?' I thought. 'Yeah, cause a fish is silky and smooth looking like his hair' Inner said and I grunted in annoyance. Does this idiot not realize he insulted me? 'It all sounded so heavenly to me' Inner said sighing in content. I grew furious by the minute, he called me selfish and he practically told me he hates me! 'Maybe, that's his way of showing affection' Inner said rolling her eyes in my head. Right, next you're going to tell me you show love with violence I thought. 'I call it tough love' Inner said.
"-ten Tenten!" I heard a voice call out to me. Widening my eyes I noticed it was just him. "Huh? what do you want?" I spat. I heard him sigh and made his way towards the table in the kitchen gesturing for me to sit with him. Rolling my eyes I settled on sitting on top of the counter, opposite him. Resting my back against the kitchen cupboards.
"Your not still angry with me are you?" He asked in his emotionless voice.
"I don't know you tell me?" I said glaring at him. He stood up and made his way towards me and lifted his hand reaching for the cupboards behind me.
"Please, move." He asked in a sweet, and seductive voice. I felt myself getting flustered especially when I felt the tip of his thumb make contact with my cheek. I widened my eyes and before I could remove his fingers from my precious face, I felt him start stroking my cheeks.
"I will ask again, please move" He asked and I felt like my cheeks burning at his touch. I shuffled further away where I was out of his reach. I saw him smirk in the corner of my eyes. But a cupboard being opened obstructed my view of him.
I saw him take out some cookies and I started gawking at them. Where did he find that? I've been looking for something to eat everywhere!
"Want some?" He asked. I looked away pouting, I had far too much pride than to stoop so low to take cookies from the enemy.
"No, I'm capable of handling my food" I said glaring at him.
"Fine, I won't give you any." He said simply looking. At that moment my stomach growled, the pizza I ate turned out to be a tug-of-war competition with Ino and Sakura. I ended up giving my only piece to the shy girl who refused to speak up. I'm way to nice, I thought.
"Here, just have some." He offered and I smiled muttering a small 'thank you' he looked at me with a devious glint in his eyes. I narrowed my eyes at him suddenly feeling suspicious of him. I hesitantly reached to grab a cookie when the plate was yanked from my reach.
"But first, you have to say you forgive me." He said holding the plate up to his chest as he deviously inhaled some of the cookies taunting me.
"Fine, I forgive you" I said quickly. He smirked and gave me the plate. I devoured the plate in less than minutes and was currently licking the plate to savor the taste.
"Okay cannibal now that you've been fed, time to hibernate." He said hoisting me up in the air and in to his arms. I clung on to his shoulders out of reflex and eventually when I figured he wouldn't put me down, I wrapped my legs around him. I usually would've argued or hit him for even touching me but my sleepiness took over and I gave in.
He started walking and I nuzzled my face into his neck and he tensed up before moving again. I could smell him and boy did he smell good. Trying to rid my thoughts of dirty images rendered useless. Could you blame me? I have a guy who's with in 2 meters of me, wrapped around my body. That's not something that happens every day. As we neared the stairs I felt his arm tighten around my lower back trying to secure me. This bringing me ten times closer to him. Something I did not want happening as I felt my heart was about to explode out of my chest.
I know he could feel my heart pounding rapidly against his. I didn't know if it was my heart going into overload or was it his chest that was beating just as hard? It was the faintest feeling but I felt it, he was struggling just as much as me.
The temperature decided to be kicked up a notch, I looked at our clothing, there wasn't much on us so why was I feeling so hot and bothered? The thought of hardly any clothing seemed to set an alarm of in my brain and I was more than flustered. I was struggling to breathe when he stumbled and almost dropped me catching himself quickly. To say I had the air knocked out my lungs was an understatement. I really need to go see a doctor.
He placed me down on the ground gently. I silently thanked him with a nod and he understood, turning away and walking away in the other direction. I smiled and waved until he was out of sight. Then I ran in to the bathroom locking the door and splashing cold water on to my face. Trying to cool myself down, he couldn't see how red I was thanks to the dim lighting in the halls.
I put a hand on my chest somehow trying to steady my heart beat. Which I knew was not gonna happen anytime soon. Why was I reacting like this? He only held me for a few seconds. Breathing in and out I told my mind to steer clear away from him. If he ever touches me like that again, I don't know what I'll do.
I walked out the bathroom heading to bedroom feeling quite dizzy from everything that's happened. I don't remember what happened after that but I had a stinging pain in my shoulder. The pain was then forgotten as I was covered in cotton blankets and engulfed in to pure bliss.
*Next Morning / Basically hours later*
I was awoken from my amazing slumber by that devil made alarm clock. I never slept so good in my life. W-Wait? I thought I broke this thing already. Who the hell dare give me another one after I unleashed hell on it's sorry ass?
I sat right up pissed as hell and waiting to vent to the first person I see. I looked around stunned. This isn't my room. I thought it would be fun playing detective and all but I discarded the option as soon as a he walked in. I bolted out the bed now realizing this wasn't my room but indeed his. What was I doing here? I was sure I fell asleep in my bed somehow or did I?
Well, I don't sleep walk so that can't be it. I looked up at Neji and felt familiar heat crawl up my neck and rest on my cheeks. I wanted to ask him what I was doing in here. But I stopped myself quickly remembering to avoid him and steer clear. I was making my way towards the door and I winced audibly when I used my right arm to turn the doorknob. What's up with my shoulder?
I heard freakishly loud shrieking through the other side of the door and I gulped and turned around nervously. Forget avoiding him, I need him.
"NEJI!" I whisper yelled, loud enough for him to hear me and turn around to look at me. Not liking the sudden attention I felt my voice leaving. He looked at me expectantly and slightly irritated. Damn! Why the hell am I nervous all of a sudden?
I felt banging against the door and I used what was left of my strength to keep it shut. I don't need them questioning me, knowing them I doubt it would ever end.
"Urm.. I need you to hide me" I said panicking slightly. He looked at me oddly and I groaned not wanting to explain.
"NEJI! I need you-" I was cut off by the door being swung open. I felt myself being thrown against Neji, who did his best to get away by jumping back on to his bed. Unfortunately for me I was coming at him at rapid speed not giving myself time to come to halt. I landed with an 'oomph' my face being mere centimeters from Neji's. I was placed right in to his body in an awkward position. My arms placed on his chest while his behind his back doing whatever he could in his sitting position. His legs were spread apart and both of my legs were right in between him.
I could just feel the shocked expressions on my friends faces and Ino's snickering wasn't left unheard. I felt myself blushing madly but ignored it anyways. I stood up gathering what remaining dignity I had left. It wasn't hard..there wasn't much left.
"WHAT THE HELL?! TENTEN WHY WERE YOU IN NEJI'S ROOM? WHY WERE YOU ON HIM LIKE THAT?! Were you having sex?" Those were the questions that were increasing my anger slowly, as I left the room. But the last one caught me off guard, s-sex?
"OI DON'T IGNORE US!" Ino screamed right in my ear. I looked at her with my meanest glare which obviously still needs to be improved.
"I wasn't doing anything. I don't think of Neji-kun like that" I said simply ignoring the smirk she on her face. I was shocked at myself I didn't mean to call him that, it just rolled off my tongue as if it were natural.
"Neji-kun huh? Don't think of him like that eh?" She said snickering and I looked at her warily not liking where this was going.
"What's this then?" She said playing a sound recording of me screaming 'NEJI! I need you!' I paled at that there was nothing I could say to that.
"Hmm? Don't forget the messy-bed hair?" Ino said cackling to herself.
"What, my hair? it's an improvement compared to your face." I said glaring at her.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Ino said glaring at me.
"ARE YOU DEAF TOO? HOW WORSE CAN YOU GET?" I said practically screaming at her.
"AT LEAST I DON'T GO AROUND MAKING PEOPLE THINK I'M A BEAR, THOSE BUNS OF YOURS ARE GETTING ON MY LAST NERVE" Ino screamed and my anger intensified.
"AT LEAST I'M NOT AN ACTUAL ANIMAL LIKE YOU! DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT ELSE IS GETTING ON MY NERVE?" I threatened and she stepped forward.
"HELL YEAH, YOU WANNA GO?" She roared.
"I thought you'd never ask" I said as we both got pushed away from each other.
Hmmph. No fun, how can I kill her if this guards going to get in the way? Oh wells I guess I'll do this next time.
-A/N- I've been gone for so long. But I'm glad I'm finally done with this chapter :D I wanted to make it a bit more light-hearted and happy cause the previous chapters seem so serious. How she got in Neji's room will be explained next chapter :D
