Chapter 7

Shikamaru's Troublesome Training day and Neji's Chase!

DUN, DUN, DUN!

It was 4 in the morning Tenten was on her way to Shikamaru's house.

She finally made it to the small house and knocked on the door. And to Tenten's surprise, Shikamaru stood there all ready to go.

" You're up, early?" Tenten asked. She didn't actually think he would have gotten up so early.

" Shhh. You'll wake my parents. And yes, I'm up early. Come on lets go start your training." Shikamaru replied.

At the training grounds.

It was now 4:15 am and Tenten and Shikamaru were sitting on the ground getting ready to start.

" Okay, now what did you want me to teach you again?" Shikamaru asked.

" Your shadow possession jutsu." Tenten said.

" Yeah, yeah, fine but only if you'll beat Neji. This is going to be so troublesome."

They got up and finally began.

" First, you need to clear your mind. Then, focus your chakra. Next, focus on the person your going to use it on and then release the chakra. It's that easy." Shikamaru explained.

" ok. Got it." Tenten said. She cleared her mind, focused her chakra, focused on Shikamaru, and then released her chakra. Shikamaru was now in Tenten's command. Man, she couldn't wait to use this on Neji. Wait Neji, Neji!

" ah, Shikamaru thanks for the session, but now I need to go back to the compound. Thanks again, bye!"

" Troublesome women"

Tenten was trying so hard to find her room in the Hyuga compound.

Left, right, down, right, left, up. Which way was it?!

" Tenten, where are you going?" a cold voice asked.

" Ah, no where Neji, no where."

" then why are you out here? I'm sure that it must be something very important, since you never get up this early."

" Ah, yeah, about that. I, um, well, ah,"

" You went training with Shikamaru, did you not."

" Wow, nothing gets passed you."

" Tenten, I know everything. Why were you training with him?"

" No reason."

" There is a reason, and you know it. Now tell me or else."

" Or else what? You'll make me train extra hours. You'll take away my weapons. Make me wear a dress again. What?"

" None. Something much worse."

" Like what?"

" I'll tell you when I think of it. Now tell me the reason you were training with him at 4 in the morning."

" Why should I? It's none of your business why I went to Shikamaru's at 4 in the morning to train with him."

" Your right, but I will make you do something that you will regret."

" oh and what's " something that I will regret" ?"

Neji's inner self

Think Neji, think. Something that she will regret. Um, um,

Why not just make her train a whole day with you or something? Or maybe if your lucky, you can get her to wear that dress that she looked so dang good in again.

No that's to simple, and you have a dirty mind.

Hey, I'm your mind remember. And it's not my fault you and I thought that she looked SO good in that dress.

I thought you said that your mind and my mind are the same mind.

We are, but I have a mind of my own too you know. That's how I make the discions for you.

I make my own decisions.

Like I said I am your mind.

Ugh! Your, I mean I'm so confusing!

How do you think I feel?

Just shut up already!

Fine, I guess you don't want my help then.

No, no I don't.

Back to reality

" you'll have to train a whole day with Guy sensia and Lee," Tenten's jaw was dropping as this horrible news made its way to her ear.

" with NO weapons, and with your hair DOWN."

Tenten's jaw was on the ground, and her eyes were as wide as a big eyed cyclospse except with two eyes.

" Neji that's NOT FAIR. NO WEAPONS, AND WITH MY HAIR DOWN! WHY DON'T YOU JUST KILL ME NOW!!!!"

" you'll start today. Come on now give me ALL of your weapons."

" no, no, no, and NO! I will not give my precsious babies away, NEVER!"

" fine with me, but I guess I'll just have to do it the hard way." Neji said with an ' fear me now and obey me or die!' look on his face.

Tenten gave in and said," follow me."

Tenten walked to her room in the Hyuga compound and Neji followed. She finally reached a plane white door and turned the door knob gently, and the door opened. Neji walked in and took all of the VISABLE weapons that were just laying around. Neji knew that, that wasn't all of her weapons. Sure he found about, 58 kunai, 100 shurikens, and roughly about 150 senbon, but please this was THE WEAPONS MISSTRESS OF KONOHA and Neji was not stupid.

" Tenten," was all Neji said. He turned to face her and held out his hand. Tenten gave him all of the senbon, kunai and shurikens that she was armed with. Neji knew that, that still wasn't all of them.

" Tenten," he said again, motioning his hand telling her to give him all of them.

Tenten sighed, and went all over her room searching for her hidden kunai, senbon and shurikens, which frankly, has more than neji could even hold. It took about an hour for the weapons mistress to gather ALL of her weapons and ungratefully give them to Neji.

In all she had about, 187 kunai, 378 shurikens and about 500 senbon.

Inside Neji's head:

How in the world dose she hide all of these?! Second thought I don't even want to know.

" Tenten, is this ALL of your weapons? Because if it's not then we're going to be late for training. And you know how bad Lee gets when we're late."

Flashback:

" NEJI, TENTEN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? NEVER MIND! YOU DROVE ME AND GUY SENSAI CRAZY! Steam was literally coming out from Lee's ears. Just picture me in the morning with a bad hair day, didn't get enough sleep, and steven was screaming in my ear to wake me up. It would be a very scary sight, not to menchion a very dangerous one too.

End flashback:

They both shivered at the thought.

" Yep, unfortunantly that's all of them."

" great now let's go"

Neji and Tenten walked to their training grounds that they trained at every morning.

Tenten, was happy and had a big smile on her face, even with ALL of her weapons gone. She was up to something, think about it, a happy weapons' mistress, with no weapons.

Half way to the training grounds.

" Hey Neji ," Tenten said.

" Hn," you already know whos' response that is.

" I think I have a new training method we can use."

Tenten scooted closer to Neji, her hands were by her side. Neji stopped walking, Tenten scooted closer, and closer until their hands were basicly touching. All of a sudden, she snatched his kunai pouch and ran off.

" Try and catch me!" Tenten screamed as she ran as fast as she could.

Tenten's thoughts,

Ha, ha, ha! He can't take all of the weapons away from me! I'm invincible! Ok, where to hide, where to hide, ah, ah, ah, ah, ha! I'll hide in a place that even if he has the guts to go in it he'll be soooooooo embaraced, THE WOMENS' HOT SPRING!!!!!!!! He'll never look there, and his byakugan can see anything, even through walls, which means if he uses his byakugan he'll be looking at naked women, and I know he won't stoup that low just to get his Kunai pouch back! It's perfect!

Tenten thought as she ran into the womens hot spring.

Back with Neji.

Neji still stood there frozen, from the events that just happened.

' Had Tenten just tried to suduce me? No, no, this is Tenten, not Ino. Tenten would never do that. Wait a second, why am I waiting around here? I told her NO weapons for today, and she has weapons. And for her to stoup down so low that she has to steal my weapons, must mean that now, probably most of Konoha is covered in blood. '

Neji snapped out of his thoughts and started to search Konoha. There was no bloodshed, no people crying except for the fact that Lee was probably crying now due to the fact that none of his teammates showed up yet. This was odd. Angry weapons mistress with weapons, no bloodshed, makes no sense, or does it? Neji went looking for Tenten everywhere, the ramen place, weapons store, her house, Ino's house, Sakura's house, heck even Shikamaru's house but no luck. But then he thought of something,

' ok she's not at any of her friend's houses, not at her favorite store or resturaunt, where in the world could she be?! It's already almost 8:00pm and I still can't find her. Wait a second, I know that Tenten knows that I'm not dumb, so I know that she wouldn't hide anywhere obvious, and Tenten knows that I would think that she hid somewhere obvious, but she didn't. And I know that she's not dumb ethier, and knowing her for about seven years she would probably hide somewhere that I would never even think about going in. Oh no, oh no, she wouldn't, she couldn't, it's so unlike her to do this, but then again she's unpredictable. But I'm not going in that place. I swear I AM NOT GOING IN THE WOMENS' HOT SPRING AND THAT'S FINAL!'

Back to Tenten

" oh hey Tenten, what are you doing here?" Ino asked.

" yeah, shouldn't you be training with your boyfriend? Oh what's his name, shikamaru,"

" Hey, shika's mine!" ino blurted out.

" then it's not him, um naruto,"

" forehead girl how can you be so nieve! Naruto is Hinata's! right hinata?!"

" h-hai,"

" oh yeah, I forgot, sorry Hinata,"

" it's o-okay sakura-chan."

" well, then who could it be?! I've guessed about everybody! It's not shikamaru, not naruto, and it's most definently not my Sasuke-kun, I don't think it's Lee, is it Lee? Please say yes, then maybe he'll leave me alone!"

Tenten is just sitting there getting very annoyed. And if you couldn't tell, then you're very, very oblivious because, her face tells it all.

Her eyes were, narrow and her left eye was twitching madly. She was also sweatdropping anime style which is pretty funny if you picture it in your head.

" No it's not Lee. I think of him as more as a brotherly figure."

Honestly, I think tenten was about to slap Sakura, I mean Lee is just not Tenten's type.

" Well, geesh Tenten don't get all reow with me just because I cant guess little boyfriend's name."

" it's not that hard. And he's not my boyfriend!" Tenten shouted.

Sakura and Ino were thinking really hard now, Hinata just decided to stay out of the whole mess.

" Doesn't he have like really long hair, and, weird eyes?" Sakura asked.

" Hey!" Hinata yelled. Hinata took that very offensively.

" No offense Hinata."

" Non- taken"

" Yeah, Sakura and if you think really hard you can guess his name to," Ino smirked.

" wasn't it like Negi?"

" You mean Neji," Tenten was now really annoyed. How could they not get his name right, I mean, it's not all that hard! They got their drinks now that they ordered. Tenten got a cherry coke, sakura got a lemonade, Ino got an ice tea and Hinata just got plane ice cold water." Yeah, that's him! Anyways aren't you supposed to be like training with him or something else. Like I don't know maybe on a date?" Sakura asked.

Tenten was drinking her pop and all of a sudden she spit it out as she heard this.

" NO, NEVER! ALL ME AND NEJI DO IS TRAIN, AND NOTHING ELSE!"

" are you sure Tenten, I mean your always with him, and basicly never have any time to yourself." Ino reassured Tenten.

" I do to have time to myself! And I can stop training with him anytime that I want!"

" Ah, tenten, I don't mean to s-sound r-rude or anything b-but, isn't it everytime that you don't show up for training Neji-nii-san always goes to your house to get you and your always sleeping?" Hinata being Neji's cousin and living in the same house as him, knows this kind of stuff. Tenten tried to hide her blush, but does anything go the way she wants it to, nope!

" Is that true Tenten?" Sakura and Ino asked.

" Maybe,"

sakura and Ino squeled woth joy!

Back to Neji

Think, think, Tenten thinks that she can out smart me does she? Well we'll just have to see about that. Now I think that I'll get Naruto to help me with this.

Neji thought to himself, and as if on que, Naruto comes sprinting down the street.

" Hey Neji have you seen Hinata anywhere?" Naruto screamed.

An evil glare was put on Neji's face.

" Hey, in fact I think that she just went in the hot spring. Why is it something important?"

" Yeah, it's really important!"

" well, why don't you go and tell her, and while your at it can you tell her that I need to talk to her now."

" Uh, yeah sure thing." Naruto said as he scratched his head. Naruto walked happily towards the spring and right as he set foot in there, a whole bunch of screams filled the air and before you knew it Naruto came flying out of the spring and landed on the cold hard cement with a big thump. There was a big lump on his head about the size of an apple. He almost looked dead, he was laying on his stomach with his arms and legs spread out, but what made him really look dead/funny was that his tounge was sticking out, eyes were replaced with two X's and his face was covered in dirt. It was really funny if you picture it in your head.

Back to Tenten and the girls

" I can't believe Naruto would just barge in here like that!" Ino screamed.

" Actually Ino, I can." Sakura implied.

And Ino and Sakura went blabbering on and on and on about this event.

" Hey Hinata can you please use your Byakugan to look outside the spring?" Tenten asked.

" Yeah sure, why?" Hinata answered.

" No reason."

Hinata focused her chakra to her eyes, " Byakugan," she muttered.

She scanned the perimeters outside of the spring, " Hey, Neji's here. I wonder why?"

" Oh God! Neji's here, this isn't good! Hinata we have to get out of here, NOW!" Tenten paninced.

" why Tenten," hinata asked.

" because, really early in the morning I went training with shikamaru and didn't tell Neji and was late for training, he took ALL of my prescious weapons away, I stole his kunai and shuriken pouch and ran in here, so now he's after me!" Tenten managed to say that all in one breath.

" O-k then well then lets go. We'll just tell Ino and Sakura to stay here and we'll sneak out, head back to my place and when we get there we'll tell Ino and Sakura to come over and spend the night."

" Hinata,"

" what tenten,"

" you're a genius!"

" thanks"

" hey Ino, Sakura, I need to sneak out of here, so can you guys hold the guys off and then come back to hinata's house to spend the night, but when you do make sure that all of the guys come back for the sleep over okay."

" okay" ino and Sakura agreed in unison.

" Hey Hinata ready?" Tenten asked.
" Yep,"

" Okay, let's go! There should be a back door here somewhere." Tenten scanned the room until she found another door.

" Come on Hinata follow me." Tenten said as she led Hinata to the door. They walked through the door to the outside, back of the spring. Hinata quickly skimmed the perimeter with her Byakugan.

" Alls clear," She whispered to Tenten. They both had their backs plastered to the wall as they sighlently sidestepped to the other side. All of a sudden the pink panther song starts playing in the backround.

Back to Neji and Naruto

" Hey, Neji, where's that music coming from? I think I know that song." Naruto blurted out.

" I don't know."

" It's got a nice beat to it doesn't it, duh dunt, duh dunt, duh dunt duh dunt duh duh duh duh duh daaaaaaaaaaa daaaadaaaaaaa,"

" Naruto SHUT UP!!! That song is so annoying!"

Back to Tenten and Hinata

" I think I heard them." Hinata said.

" Yeah that means that they're close by. Come on lets hurry." Tenten responded.

They comtinued to sighlently walk until they were out of sight of the hot spring.

" Yes, HAHA! Take that neji!" Tenten shouted. Then Hinata and Tenten started running for their lives till they reached the Hyuga compound.

Back to Ino and Sakura

" Hey did you hear that song that was playing earlier?" Sakura asked.

" Yeah, I think it was the pink panther song." Ino replied.

" I love that song!" Sakura shouted.

" Me too!" Ino did the same.

Then they both got up and started dancing to it.

Back to Neji and Naruto

" Hey, Neji why don't you say me, sasuke and Shikamaru stay at your house tonight."

" Why?"

" Dunno,"

" I guess it's okay."

" Sweet! I'll go and get Sasuke and Shikamaru! Bye!"

" Wait, I need your," but before Neji could finish his sentence, Naruto was long gone.
