\\Curses//

Starting that night Tenten was surprised by how many of his own men Hiashi had cursed and she started her new task by freeing the men around her.

Her first one was Kiba, who had been asking for Hinata's hand in marriage and had been cursed by Hiashi so he never would find a way to talk to her.

The next one was Shikamaru who had asked permission to let his fiancée live with them as he never saw her, he had been cursed not to remember the urgent will to have her by his side.

The next one was Naruto. Naruto was one of the most obnoxious soldiers Tenten had ever known and he had been cursed to shut his trap – but luckily that curse was a very fresh one and was easy to remove.

Tenten taught herself how to deal with the demons. She found out that demons had very different ways of how to manipulate their victims.

Many demons came to their victims during their sleep and pulled certain strings in their minds so they had a blockage. It was the easiest way and normally also the most effective one.

There were also demons that worked with auras. When they were told to get a victim away from a group for example they would work on their aura so they group would push him or her away.

Or those who worked with touching their victim, leading it like a puppet master a puppet. Those were really tricky ones for they always retreated their victims from her, knowing she was a threat.

There were many ways to release a victim from its demon.

Some demons puffed into smoke after a certain amount of time – the traditional times were seven or thirteen years – others could be taken care of by saying a certain word that scared them or made them laugh. Others again had to work against their curse learning again and defeating their demons on their own. Sometimes she also had to fight against the demons in a combat so they would lose their strings on their victims.

Yet … over all the years she had never managed to get away Neji's demon. She had already managed to weaken it but every time she tried something and it went wrong she would sit over other methods for nights again.

She had taken quite a liking in the Hyuuga man, who had grown to be handsome and tall. He was able to sit with her and only watch the forest for hours, or just wait for her until late in the night when she would go out into the woods and run.

She felt attracted to him in a way she wouldn't have understood if she hadn't helped Kiba, with his love for Hinata. She had fallen in love with Neji and she didn't know if it was good or not, but she cared too much for him to let him down and so he would be her most frequent guest. Either she would come to him or he would come to her. But nothing ever changed.

It was a hot day and Tenten growled at the heat and Neji's demon who was laughing at her. She was lying in her skirt and her breast bindings in the shadow of the veranda and tried to think of another way to get that beast away from him, when she felt an even bigger demon arrive.

She looked towards the gates. A young man with red hair and teal eyes stood there. She stood up immediately and went towards him. His aura was frightening, but Tenten didn't care. She took him by his wrist and led him into the courtyard, sending the men away, so she could talk to him.

They sat down and she took a closer look at the man. He was young and muscular. He seemed to be accustomed to the heat but something about him worried her. He had rings under his eyes, seemingly from not sleeping and looked worn out.

"I ... my name is Gaara. Temari is my sister." He began.

Tenten smiled at him. Temari was a good friend of hers. She was Shikamaru's fiancée and had been crying over him for years until Tenten had arrived with him and explained her why all those things had happened. Temari had bonked her fiancé, but a moment later cried her eyes out at his shoulders. It had been one of the most emotion filled moments, Tenten had ever witnessed as Shikamaru had wrapped his arms around her and promised her to love her no matter what.

"Shikamaru told me … what had happened to him and what you did … and I came here because … because I am cursed. I … I don't dare to sleep, because my demon takes over then, I can't eat anymore because all he wants is blood and I don't do that, I've been travelling here to … to ask you if you will help me."

I smiled at him and took his hand to turn it upside down. "I will." I said and pressed a point that sent everyone to unconsciousness.

That way I was always able to see their demons clearer. I looked closer and saw an interesting form standing over the young man. I already knew this form of demon; you had to fight with them. It sniffed in the air and looked down at me, arms forming. I evaded an arm, another one, a third. It was sand, I realized. His demon was controlling the earth and the sand around itself, to catch other victims and devour them.

I had to fight it for a long time, streams of blood were running down my head, my entire body and night was nearing, but I didn't give up. I promised him I would help … and I would.

The final blow came when I had finally brought the beast to the ground ramming a katana into its neck. It went dead immediately. I panted hard, slipping down from the back of the beast.

"Tenten!" I heard Neji scream before everything went black.

I remembered being here once. The day I had fought the bear Neji had brought me here to take care of my injuries. I looked around. To my right there was a window in which I could see a vase with flowers, and as I turned my head to the left I found Gaara sleeping. The rings under his eyes slowly vanishing and his demon non-present. I smiled, I had made it.

As soon as I woke up I tried to stand up and found it pretty hard to do. My body was sore all over from the numerous injuries I had carried away from the fight. I asked myself how long I had been out.

Slowly I hobbled out of the room and closed the door silently behind me as not to wake our guest up. I slowly made my way down the stairs – which turned out to be a rather painful procedure, but I could take it.

My body was covered in bandages. Starting with my arms and hands, my shoulders, my back, my legs and then my feet. I looked like a mummy. When I came down into the room where the men were usually eating Akamaru was the first to run towards me.

Tenten!

Hey fleabag … how's it going? I let him rub his head cautiously against my leg, as I couldn't kneel down.

I should be asking you! You don't hurt too much?

Akamaru … I'm used to fighting … OW!

He had nudged a bit harder against my leg.

You DO hurt, used to fighting or not … you should take it slow …

You know that I'm not like that …

Sadly … Come on they are waiting for you …

He led me out into the courtyard, where everyone was watching the sun going down. I hobbled right next to the huge dog and leaned a bit on him and he was giving me the best support he could.

"Tenten!" Hinata was the first to jump up. She came running towards me and helped me to hobble towards the rest and sit down.

"Now … do I scare little children in my attire?" I asked jokingly.

Temari nodded approvingly. "Definitely… you are the best mummy I have ever seen."

"That's because you've never seen a mummy." Shika teased.

"Shut it pineapple-man. Have you ever seen one?"

I laughed at the bickering of the two. "So … I hope you will rest a few days." Kiba said while patting Akamaru.

I sighed. I knew it was necessary and if I wasn't at top health I couldn't defeat the demons.

"I have to."

"Well … at least you are listening to your logic for once." Hinata teased.

"Just because I am a heart-person." I pouted.

It was right. I have always been listening more to my heart than to my brain, although maybe listening to my brain now and then really would have spared me some wounds.

When the night finally fell over the compounds we retreated to our rooms and I went back to the room I have come from, Akamaru at my side.

I spent two whole weeks until I was able to move like before again. I growled every day of it, always complaining about how people would need me and I couldn't help them. My friends would always come and spend me some company until I could take down my bandages to let the injuries dry on air – that way it went more quickly – and finally take care of my scar-tissue that formed over the injuries.

But during those two weeks I didn't see Neji one time. Hinata told me that he had been frantic about me. He had picked me up after the fight and brought me immediately to the medic station: taken care of every of my wounds, clearing out every corn of sand and finally bandaging me.

During the three days I had been out he had been sitting next to me every day, changing my bandages against new ones and washing my wounds. But after I had woken up I hadn't seen him even once.

Today I had been on my first check up with Hinata and she had claimed that I was healthy again, and had even let me out for a run.

Akamaru had teased me the whole way that I was slower than usual, but when I had retorted that it was only natural, being as hurt as I had been he had ceased the teasing and pushed me to always keep on running. I was thankful for that for it would help me to build up my muscles again.

In the night I was lying on the veranda and staring at the stars. But something was missing, and this something was none other than Neji.

Why didn't he come to see me? What had I done?

I had enough of guessing and decided that I would go to ask him personally.

It wasn't hard to find him, for he was always in his room nowadays. I didn't even knock at the door; I just opened it and found him sitting at his window, staring at the stars. His demon growled at me and I growled back before sitting next to Neji.

"I see you are healthy again." He said and looked at me with a sad smile.

"Yeah, I am … thanks to you." I said and sat down next to him.

His demon was coming closer to him, whispering things into his ear.

"What do you think?" I asked him immediately.

Demons that whispered things into their victims' ears were always playing with their thoughts. Twisting them to bring them down and control them.

"It's not important, Tenten." He said and his demon smirked at me. How I wanted to wipe that stupid smirk of his face.

Funny, the first day he had talked to me I had thought the same about Neji.

"I think it is Neji. Because whatever it is … it holds you away from me, and … I don't want that."

Should I tell him that I love him? Would that help? Would it only make things worse?

"I … it's difficult Tenten."

"More difficult than to have the gift to see demons?"

He smiled and looked at me, his eyes were shining like the moon.

"Maybe not …"

"Well … then I can understand it … so … explain it to me."

He sighed and I could see that he was fighting against the demon, who was feverishly whispering words into his ear, but he shook his head to regain control.

"I … I really care for you, Tenten. And that … that day I didn't know what to do. I saw you bleeding and lying on the ground in all that sand. You were hardly breathing … and … I was scared even to touch you because I didn't know how much it would hurt you. It was … not very easy to see you half dead … I … really, really, care about you Tenten and I …. I don't know … I felt guilty for not being able to help you like a real medic."

I could see that during his speech, his demon's eyes grew wider and wider, I smiled – he was losing control.

"Neji … I … if it wouldn't have been for you I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't even be able to help people. I love … it … helping people. And if you wouldn't have brought me here in the first line I wouldn't even be able to see the demons. I was … pretty upset that you didn't come see me in the two weeks that I have been already on my legs …"

The demon seemed to want to scream but he couldn't for if he would scream, Neji would scream too. I could see the strings that were binding the demon to his victim – the puppet strings. It seemed that this demon had had enough time to spin his cocoon around Neji.

I should say it. I should try it at least. I looked down on my fingers, playing with the fang of the wolf demon. It was a symbol for me to be strong and rightful. I closed my eyes and sighed.

"Neji … I … the reason why I was sad because you didn't come was because … I really care for you, I like being around you, sitting with you and watching the stars … I … you are always there when I need someone to talk to, when I need something. You always … see me and always find me and talk to me and bring me to talk to you … and you see when something is wrong and … and I … Neji … I love you."

The three magical words. I whispered them and blushed wildly, out of an unknown reason I really wanted to cry right now. My fingers were still playing with the fang, when I stood up and turned towards the window. I couldn't look at him right now. It was really hard to do …

I didn't hear as Neji silently stood up, didn't see how the demon was suddenly wiggling on the floor as if in pain. I didn't notice Neji stepping close. All I noticed was that suddenly two strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me close.

My heartbeat was doubling … tripling even when I felt the warmth of his body on my cool one. He sighed and lowered his head to my ear, not nearing it too much and whispered.

"Thank you, Tenten." I could only hear this much, before his arms pulled me even closer and his soft lips touched my cheek. I flushed.

He kissed my cheek, my neck, my shoulders, my head and my cheek again. Then he pulled me close again and sighed. I turned around and looked at him with big eyes, questioning his actions. He slowly neared my face and I closed my eyes.

"I love you, Tenten." He whispered almost inaudibly, before his soft lips descended on mine.

I remembered the first and last time somebody had done this. But his uncle's actions were nothing compared to his. His kiss was soft and lovingly, his lips carefully caressing mine and making me respond.

Slowly Neji pulled her hair out of her usual buns and let it cascade down her back, intertwining his fingers in it, as he pulled her closer. The other arm sneaked around her waist, pulling the rest of her body closer to his. She felt so good when she was near.

Tenten was sneaking her hands around his neck and intertwining them behind it. While they were kissing they slowly stepped towards his huge bed, one step, and another one, another one, another. Suddenly she fell down on it with him on top of her. She didn't mind and he didn't either.

Tenten's hands were slowly travelling down his back and pulling his body even closer to her. When they broke apart in the need of air Neji fell to her side, pulling her as close as possible to him and snuggling into her hair.

"Thank you, Tenten." He sighed again.

Tenten smiled and looked at his demon. He was slowly vanishing in gray smoke and Tenten only decided to follow her heart once more. Turning around she kissed Neji again more passionately this time. He responded to her and licked her lips, asking for entrance, which she granted him with pleasure.

His tongue softly caressed hers and brought her to dance with his. While their tongues were dancing, wrestling, exploring, dancing again his hands were drawing small circles on her waist. She moaned into the kiss and intertwined her fingers in his long, beautiful hair.

Still kissing, she slowly brought her hands down his neck and made it travel down his chest, his abdomen and finally resting at his sash. More with force than with experience she opened the black sash and with it his haori flew open, leaving him bare-chested.

He copied her actions, slowly lifting the shirt and pulling over her head. She sat up and placed herself on his lap, straddling his waist to shift down the tissue of his upper body.

Neji led his hands from her waist upwards, making her shiver as he kissed her collarbone and moan out loud as he brought his right hand up to her bindings opening the knot and slowly kissing the newly found skin.

Tenten moaned from under him as he lay her down again, not able to contain herself anymore. It was too good to even believe it. He was tracing kisses down her body, stopping at her breasts and sucking on them, making her cry out. He led his tongue over her stomach, circling here and there and biting lovingly into her soft flesh.

When he took down her skirt she could swear he was scanning every part of her with his eyes. When the skirt had landed on the floor he kissed her legs, beginning at her shin, going up her knee and finally arriving at her inner thighs. Her breath hitched as he kissed her wet folds.

He continued kissing his way up to arrive at her mouth again and claim her lips in a passionate kiss. Tenten responded to his lips and nearly screamed when she felt him softly biting into her neck, leaving small traces of his teeth there. He bit in her shoulder, her breast, her stomach, her thigh, her calve, her waist and when he bit her breast again, she turned him on his back claiming his lips as hers once again.

There he sat looking up at the woman he loved who was now naked and straddling his waist. She smiled at him and slowly went to take down the black bandages, she smiled as they revealed his forehead and kissed the green X, then his eyes, his cheeks and finally his mouth.

He moaned as he felt her tongue tracing a line from his mouth to his chin, his jaw, to his ear, down his throat, where she bit softly, making him groan. God this felt good. She worked her way down and once again opening the knots with more force than experience, slowly taking down his Hakama.

His manhood stood proud and painfully throbbing, already wet with precum and she found it literally called for her to caress it. And so she did, taking it in her hands, stroking it, kissing it, licking it. With a loud groan he released himself and she curiously licked up whatever came out of him.

Growling – she never knew he could growl like that – he pinned her to the bed and bit her neck. She whined as he bit down and felt his manhood carefully caressing her entrance.

"Neji …" she moaned "Please …"

He didn't wait for her to say more, slowly he entered her and kissed her lovingly. Her hymen had broken long ago, due to the fact that she had been running around a lot and was moving a lot. Yet … it took her some time to get accustomed to his length and it took him almost all of his self-control to not fuck them both senseless. When she was ready she moved her hips slightly signalising him that she was ready.

He began at a steady and nice pace for them until something just went blank in his mind and all he wanted was to hear her scream his name. He started to take her harder and was rewarded with small screams.

"Faster …" she demanded breathlessly and he complied.

Her breath was hitching and he could tell that she was near. He pulled out almost all of his length and slammed it into her with all his force. She screamed out. He loved the way she screamed and decided to repeat the action again, and again, and again; he put up a quicker pace.

Her mind went blank as a explosion in her body made her scream his name in ecstasy as her back arched in a perfect bow from the soft mattress. The uncontrolled clenching of her muscles on her inside sent him into the same state and calling her name out softly he released himself into her.

Panting hard he carefully lay down on her and listened to her frantic heartbeat. He smelled her sweat and sighed, before he pulled himself out of her and went to kiss her sweaty stomach. He earned a soft and satisfied sigh and smiled before he went to kiss her forehead.

She smiled at him and snuggled close to him, her head leaning against his chest after he had pulled the light covers over them. He put his arms around her and breathed in her calming scent before drifting into a dreamless but calming sleep.
