Fate

Author's note: Again, look plot! Again, I've no idea how this went from a one-shot BDSM sex scene into whatever the HECK this is but I'm rolling with it. It's how I get things done.

Also, I had a wedding to go to this weekend which is why this is late in going up. There was planning and running around, not sleeping and partying done. Plus working all week and I just wanted to write the chapters way down the line instead of re-reading old ones for mistakes. Oops?

WARNING: Exploration of a submissive (Neji) and dominate (Tenten) bondage relationship. If this bothers you then turn back now.

I don't own the Naruto-verse. I'm just borrowing for the Hell of it. Again, post-war and Neji lives. They're 20 in this plot-filled "just bondage sex" story.

Sakura's wedding had been awesome though Sasuke was a dick and had left Konoha a week after said wedding without his new wife. He didn't know when he would be coming back. Sakura had put on a happy face when she saw him off at the gates. Tenten had wondered if filling the last Uchiha with senbon would be rude but decided not to risk it.

So here she sat at the same cafe with a obviously showing Hinata, a kind of showing Temari, a little bumped Sakura and a beaming Ino who had just announced her pregnancy. Now Ino would be two months at her December wedding in a month, Sakura would be four months, Hinata eight months, and Temari seven months.

"Jeez," Tenten said.

"And Yusa's four months. Tenten you've got to get working," Ino said.

Tenten rolled her eyes. The other four giggled while Tenten sipped her water. She hadn't been feeling well this morning when she woke up and had even thrown up. Neji had given her a curious look when she had sat back from the toilet. He had been brushing his teeth.

"I don't want to yet," Tenten said. "Besides, Neji and I are still settling in."

Ino scoffed while Temari smirked. Even Hinata rolled her eyes.

"Yeah right," Ino said. "He's been living with you for what, four months now? Technically it's been closer to a year as he's slept over at your place for days at a time."

Okay, so Ino had a good point. It didn't mean Tenten had to like it. And sure, Neji was as settled in as he was going to be. He cooked in the morning and for dinner when they weren't going out with friends. She made their bento boxes for lunch and together they made up their grocery list. They shared in cleaning their apartment and doing laundry, after Tenten had explained and shown Neji how to do laundry.

Their morning routines worked perfectly together. He would be up usually fifteen minutes before her and shower while she woke up and pulled her body out of bed. He would brush his teeth and his hair while she started showering. When she was done with the shower he would be about done with breakfast or close to.

After breakfast he would meditate while she took care of any of her weapons. They would head off to do some training then be back to cook dinner and snuggle on the couch or hang out with friends. They didn't get in each other's way but they helped the other out. It was perfect.

"Well, it's only a one-bedroom so even if we had kids it wouldn't work," Tenten said.

"Then you move," Ino told her.

Tenten huffed.

"Do you know how expensive moving is?" Tenten asked.

"Neji-niisan has never spent any of his ryo on much of anything," Hinata mentioned. "Which means he must have at least eight million ryo saved in the bank."

Tenten stared. Right. Neji had never had to pay for an apartment, utilities, food, or weapons. It was why he had given her a strange look when she had asked him for five thousand ryo to pay for half the bills.

"Right," Tenten mumbled.

"And that is from the four S-Ranked missions he has gone on," Hinata went on. "Never mind the money he received from the war, the twenty-something C rank missions, ten B-Rank missions, and twenty A-Rank missions."

Hinata sipped her tea with a sly grin on her face. Tenten hadn't realized how much Neji would have saved because he didn't have to spend most of his pay checks on living or buying weapons.

"Huh," Temari said.

"Really, Tenten, go buy a house, furnish it all new and have some kids," Ino said.

The girls laughed at her. Tenten huffed. Her stomach did some kind of weird flip and suddenly she had to throw up. Tenten bolted to the bathroom and just made it to the toilet before spewing her lunch and whatever remained of the breakfast Neji had made her.

"Tenten?"

Sakura. Oh good, a medic-nin was coming to check on her. Tenten flushed the toilet and wiped her mouth with toilet paper. She came out of the bathroom as Sakura watched her. Tenten washed out her mouth by cupping her hand under the running water. She washed her face then dried off with paper towels.

"Are you pregnant?" Sakura asked.

Tenten laughed. Right. Neji had a point when he said it took more than one time for a person to get pregnant. Sure, they had done it twice on the same night but they had been using a condom since.

"No, just sick or something," Tenten replied.

"Sure," Sakura said.

She was grinning. Tenten huffed and brushed her bangs back into place. Temari's wedding had been almost four months ago now. Maybe...no way, it took more than one try to make a baby.

"When was your last period?" Sakura questioned.

Tenten blinked. She had some spotting two weeks after Temari's wedding but nothing after. No, her period was always whacked out. Sometimes she would be two or three months between cycles.

"Right after Temari's wedding," Tenten said.

"Still, that was four months ago," Sakura said.

Tenten snorted but shook her head, still fixing her bangs even though they fell perfectly in place. Unless Neji had super sperm she couldn't be pregnant. Knowing his sperm they would all be little genius swimmers. Tenten mentally laughed at the thought.

"Whatever, I'm going home to see what Neji is up to," Tenten said.

She left the bathroom but didn't bother to go to the table to pay for her lunch or tea. The others could take care of it for once. Tenten left and hit the roofs, running towards her apartment as quickly as she could, trying not to think about Sakura's words.

Tenten also tried not to think about how she had to loosen her obi the past few weeks in order to get it around her waist. She wouldn't think about how the leather skirt she wore for her and Neji's scenes had to be adjusted a bit wider so it wouldn't be too tight. She couldn't think about how she had to loosen the strings at the waist of her corset the other day.

Tenten landed on the stoop and let out a breath. She walked into the apartment to see Neji lying across the floor near their bookshelves by the windows in a beam of light. She almost laughed because he looked like a big feline soaking up the sun on his upper body as he read with the book over his head. He wore shorts and a tee shirt, that was it, and the shirt had rolled up to show his lower abs and his happy trail.

Tenten smiled when he turned to her and shifted so he was on his feet. Tenten made sure he door was shut before walking over to him and hugging him. He kissed the top of her head, one hand holding his book with his finger in it to mark his place. The other hand lay flat against her back.

"I think I'm pregnant," Tenten said.

The book fell out of his hands with a thunk. Neji pulled back and looked down at her. His eyebrows had come up, his eyes had gone wide, and his lips had parted. A moment later, the Byakugan activated. She saw him focusing. She stared when he went pale. His Byakugan de-activated and his entire body went limp as he fainted.

He had still been sort of holding Tenten so she went with him, yelping. Luckily he broke her fall. Tenten grunted when she landed on his chest then glared at him while he groaned and rubbed his forehead.

"I'm guessing that's a confirmation?" Tenten questioned.

"Hn,"

Agreement sound.

"So, how far along?"

"Four months, easy, so we conceived our children at Temari and Shikamaru's wedding,"

Tenten almost started laughing but stopped. Neji has said "our children." Tenten smacked his chest. He grunted then looked down at her.

"Did you just say our children?" Tenten asked.

Neji gulped but nodded. Tenten stared, wishing she could close her mouth or make her eyes not so wide. She didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or castrate Neji.

"How many?"

"Two, twins, you do know they run directly in my line, right? My father was a twin, as was my mother even though her twin died when they were born,"

"Oh crap. My mom was a twin too,"

"And it does tend to skip a generation so because you and I aren't twins,"

"We would have twins. Fuck,"

"Hn,"

He amused sound but he did have some nervousness in there. Oh good, she wasn't the only one about to shit herself, cry, laugh, and want to kill something. Tenten groaned then put her head on his chest, right above his heart. His arms came up to wrap around her and she appreciated it.

"And I just stormed out of the cafe all mad because Sakura thought I could be pregnant. Here I am further along than Ino, Sakura and Yusa," Tenten said.

Neji chuckled but the nervous sound was still there. He was rubbing her back though so she wasn't too worried.

"Well, at least we have names picked out," Neji said.

"Yeah, one girl and one boy name. Knowing our luck we'll have twin boys or twin girls," Tenten said.

Neji laughed, more mirthful than worried now and she looked at him. He kept smiling.

"So if we have twin boys it can be Hizashi and Hitomi. If we have twin girls it can be Hatomi and Hizasha,"

Tenten blinked then started laughing. He joined in after a moment and they lay on the floor of the apartment, chuckling and holding onto each other. Tenten had to wipe tears from her eyes once they were done but kept grinning at Neji who returned the expression.

"We're going to need a bigger place," Tenten said.

"Hn,"

Agreement sound.

"And more furniture and dishes,"

"Hn,"

His "obviously" sound.

"And your clan is going to be pissed because these two are likely going to be born out of wedlock unless you're totally okay with just going to Kakashi and getting him to make us up a marriage certificate,"

"We can make a weekend out of it. You know, tell the Konoha Eleven, gather in his office, do the vow exchange then go out to a restaurant for the reception. No invitations because we can verbally tell everyone once we confirm with Kakashi, no need for wedding registration because it'll be quick and we have most of what we need, and no worry about cleaning up or catering. Easy and finished quickly,"

Tenten kissed him.

"I love how we're on the same page with the wedding,"

Neji chuckled then kissed her back.

"Then we can look for a house and buy it outright because what is mine is yours and all that. I have twelve million ryo in the bank right now so costs are not an issue,"

Tenten gaped. He had twelve million ryo saved in the bank doing nothing but gaining interest. They could buy a huge house, furnish it all knew, then live off the interest of Neji's bank account for the rest of their lives.

Tenten started giggling and he smirked at her. Okay, so she had found a guy who was gorgeous, sexy, liked being submissive and trying new things, worked with her routine, could train with her, could talk to her like a good friend or a lover, who was on the same wavelength as her when it came to important things, had a great dick, and was a millionaire. She had landed the best guy out of her four friends.

"Let's go house shopping," Tenten said.

"Right now?"

"Well yeah, it takes like a month to close a deal on a house. And when we're done looking around today we can go talk to Kakashi about setting a date in his office then book a restaurant. I mean, it won't take us long to tell everyone then find a nice gold kimono for me to wear and you some nice clothes. Let's get moving, we can have it all planned before six tonight,"

Tenten smiled when he smirked at her. He nodded and hoisted her into his arms bridal carry. Tenten giggled when he brought her into the bedroom. She stopped laughing when he stripped. Tenten watched with a grin on her face as Neji pulled on a pair of black pants and a blue tee shirt. He brushed his hair and wrapped a bandana over his curse seal.

She took his hand in hers as they walked out of the bedroom then the apartment. Tenten couldn't stop from smiling as they strode down the dozen steps then headed towards the housing area in middle class Konoha. This would be awesome.

"So, it's five bedrooms with an en suite three piece bath on the main bedroom, a second bathroom, and a laundry room coming off the kitchen. The house itself is four years old and is one of the few on this block to have central heating and air conditioning. Plus it's got a fully fenced in, large yard, and is in a quiet neighbourhood."

The realtor beamed at them in her elegant white skirt and shirt.

Tenten stood in the middle of the sitting room of the house she and Neji had found for sale. The sitting area was immense, easily forty-five by fifty-five feet and open concept with the kitchen which was around the same dimensions. The front door sat between the two spaces and to the left of the front door was the sitting area with its sliding wall doors that led into the huge fenced in yard.

The front yard of the place wasn't bad either: ten feet by fifteen feet but the side yard was massive, big enough to plant a garden and still have room to run around in. There was a strip of grass to the right of the front door four feet wide that ran along that side of the house.

The front door ran along the line for the hallway where the master bedroom sat with its en suite bathroom on the left. The second bathroom was against this wall as well. Two rooms were on the right wall. The hallway made a t-shape at the end which left the final two rooms along a back wall with a storage closet ten feet deep by five feet across.

The four non-main rooms were fifteen by twenty feet while the master bedroom was twenty by twenty five. The master bathroom was small compared to the rest of the place but it was the size of the apartment bathroom which she and Neji were used to working in. The actual bathroom was twice the size of the en suite.

The laundry room was ten by fifteen feet and could likely double as a storage area for cleaning supplies and other stuff. Hell, she had managed to fit a washer and dryer into a five foot deep by six foot wide room. Here she would have double the space.

"The owners re-built the place after the war but now they want to downsize. Seems they decided not to have as many children and they don't want two rooms to go to waste,"

Tenten all ready could count on her and Neji having two kids in five months. As for more, well, they would see. Besides, they could convert one room to house all their books and her weapons while the other room could be a guest bedroom.

Sure, they had stepped into this place as a joke but the more time Tenten spent looking around with the realtor, the more she found she was falling in love with the place.

The floors were real hardwood, dark all through the hallway and in the sitting room. The kitchen was actual tile, ceramic, in white with gray swirls going through. The kitchen cupboards were white oak and the fence had been built of cement instead of wood. The bedrooms all had a honey colored hardwood floor with wide windows and huge closets. Hell, the master bedroom had a walk in closet complete with a shelf system for shoes, not that either of them had a lot of shoes.

They even had a half attic for storage which was accessed by a pull cord in the middle of the hallway. The house was in sight of the hokage tower, a ten minute run, and perhaps a ten minute run from the marketplace. The training fields would be further but that didn't matter. They were kind of central to the important buildings but far enough away from the Hyuuga Compound that neither of them would feel threatened.

"The neighbours to the right just had a baby girl and the ones to the left had their second. The first is three. The ones across the street are expecting and the ones to either side of the place directly across are both older couples with children who are old enough to baby sit,"

Plus a built in social community: kids for their twins to play with and kids to watch their twins if they both had to go on missions at the same time. Tenten was in love but kept her face neutral like Neji.

"I don't know if this matters but there are a few shinobi who live nearby,"

Tenten didn't remark as they walked into the top of the 't' in the hallway. There were windows to either end of the hallway, letting in lots of light. Both windows were chest height and with potted plants in front of them anyone trying to sneak in would be heard. Tenten almost laughed at her thoughts. Hell, the storage closet between the two rooms could act as a laundry room if they took out the built in shelves.

"The asking price is 6,000,000 ryo (A/N about 750,000USD) which is the same as the other places. Oh, the stove has five burners with a built in flat top to make grilled fish. The fridge is a double door with a large upper freezer. You would have to buy or bring in your own washer and dryer though but there is a built in microwave stand above the stove,"

They headed back to the kitchen and Tenten saw what the woman talked about. The fridge was twice the size of hers and the stove was awesome, five burners and a long, wide, upraised flat top for cooking, well, anything. It would act as in indoor grill. Even better all the counters were tough granite with a beautiful white and gray finish. The cupboards were white with silver handles and gray etching around the inside. Both the fridge and the stove were silver in color so everything matched.

There were three sets of lights across the ceiling to distribute everything evenly plus two wide kitchen windows: one above the deep double basin sink and one at the right of the kitchen on the same wall as the front door. Even better the direction the place was built in meant the sun came from the huge sliding windows of the living room over to set in the kitchen at night.

"I'll leave you two to think about it,"

The woman walked off with a click of heels to another couple, this one with the woman obviously pregnant. Both were civilians.

"Neji,"

"Hn?"

"This place is ours,"

"Hn,"

His agreement sound. Tenten grinned. The realtor left the couple to themselves as they wanted to look around on their own. Neji nodded to the realtor who walked over with a smile.

"So, how does this work to buy this home?" Neji asked.

The realtor's smile turned into a huge grin.

"Well, you would make an offer then we see if the sellers agree on the offer," the realtor said.

Tenten blinked. They could buy the place outright this moment. Sure, it would take half of Neji's savings but they would be set for life in this place. Plus it would maybe be 60,000 to furnish and paint the place, if that. Regular bills would maybe be five thousand ryo.

"We would be willing to pay the asking amount right now," Neji said.

The realtor's jaw dropped and her eyes went wide. Tenten kept her laugh back.

"Let me call the sellers," the woman sputtered.

Neji inclined his head as the woman strode towards the phone hanging on the wall. Neji guided Tenten into the sitting room again so they could look out of the sliding doors. There was a tree in the front corner of the yard a few dozen feet from the fence where it sat closest but the thing was massive. One branch extended fairly low, ten feet high but straight out thick and healthy which would be perfect for a swing.

They could easily make a sand box near the tree, put targets up along the back wall, put in a few training dummies and a slide but still have room for the kids to kick around a ball. Hell they could make a porch right outside their sliding doors if they wanted. All they needed to do was fill in the space they wanted with cement then build up frames and a roof.

"I all ready have plans for the yard," Tenten said.

"Swing off that branch, sandbox in that corner with a slide, targets on the back wall and a training dummy over in the opposite corner. We could make a cement porch to extend the entire length of this wall about ten feet out then enclose it with wood and a roof, open concept so we still get the light. Then we can put a swinging bench at the far corner and an outdoor barbeque at the other corner with patio furniture where the glass does not slide open,"

Neji was further ahead than her. She laughed.

"We can hang lights along the inside of the fence as well so the property is always lit," Neji went on.

"Yeah, I was thinking putting potted plants on tables in front of those windows at the end of the hallways,"

"So a person would knock them down if entering,"

She giggled as he smirked at her. The realtor came back. Tenten saw her reflection in the glass so they turned to face her and the woman had a grin on her face.

"The sellers are on their way now to take the check and sign over the ownership. It'll take about half an hour in total. I'm going to tell the other couple then take down the for sale sign," she said.

"Thank you. We will be here," Neji said.

"Not a problem and thank you," the realtor said.

She was gone again a moment later. Tenten watched as the other couple walked out with little frowns. The realtor followed them then came back within a minute holding the "for sale" sign. Tenten went back to looking at the side lawn and smiled.

She could see two brown haired, pale amber eyed kids chasing each other through the grass, shouting pretend jutsu, throwing dull weapons at each other, and with Byakugan activated. She could see Neji chasing after them with a smile on his face while she sat on their patio furniture holding their third child.

She had never put much thought into being a mother, even after she and Neji started secretly dating when they were younger. But here she was, four months pregnant with twins, engaged to Neji and about to buy a home with him.

Any normal woman would probably be panicking but she wanted the sellers to get here now so they could start painting their home, furnishing it then planning their wedding. She wanted to move their bed into that big master bedroom by tonight and cast the sound proofing jutsu on their bedroom so they could yell and scream as loud as they wanted.

She wanted to go buy that swing from RLM to hang in the corner of their bedroom. She wanted to make Neji walked naked through the whole house, arms bound behind his back, anal beads up his ass, with the ball gag in his mouth while she whipped him. Tenten grinned at the imagery. Hell, once the patio was up she could punish him outdoors.

"Here they are,"

Tenten turned to the realtor and a young civilian couple. The male of the two was the same height as Neji, a little less than six feet, with brown hair and brown eyes. He wore plain dark pants and a plain shirt. The wrinkles were fine across his face and he had a receding hair line at no more than mid-twenties. The woman was brown haired and brown eyed as well with huge boobs, small hips and a slender waist.

"Ida Koji and Ida Nao, these are, ah, I'm sorry I didn't get your names," the realtor said.

"Hyuuga Neji and Hyuuga Tenten," Neji said.

All three gaped. Tenten wanted to laugh. Neji had become famous for saving Naruto and Hinata's lives plus the Hyuuga were the biggest and probably most well known family in and outside of Konoha.

It hit Tenten Neji had all ready given her his family name in their introduction. She felt her cheeks heat and kept back her giggle. She would have to get used to it. If they were good they could be married by Saturday, five days from now. Tenten grinned.

"It's nice to meet you Hyuuga-sama," Koji said with his hand extended to shake.
Neji took it regally and Tenten exchanged a handshake with both husband and wife as did Neji. She tried not to chuckle over how royally Neji presented himself. His bearing was straight from Hyuuga decorum and for once Tenten didn't mind it.

They were led to the kitchen which was the only place with flat surfaces. Neji made out the check for six million ryo without batting an eye then handed it to Koji who nodded in awe. Tenten signed beside Neji's flowing signature on the forms and as the realtor promise, they owned the home in thirty minutes.

The Ida handed over the two keys and good-byes were exchanged. Tenten watched as the realtor and the Ida left the house, closing the door behind them then looked up to Neji. He had a little smile on his face and when he met her eyes, the smile grew.

"We own a home," Neji said.

"Yeah, before we got married," Tenten said.

"Hn, we've always done things a bit backwards," Neji said.

She laughed but he did make a good point. They had sex before deciding to become an actual couple. Hell, he had been inside her before kissing her open-mouthed. If they didn't count the forced group hugs from Guy-sensei or the hugs during sex then they had their first hug after the first time they had sex.

"You've got that right. Let's go see Kakashi,"

Tenten grinned as Kakashi stared at them from behind his desk, a mound of papers stacked high to either side. Iruka-sensei gaped from Kakashi's right side as Pakkun stared at them with a slack jaw from the left side of Kakashi's desk.

"You want to get married in my office?" Kakashi asked.

"Or some other room," Neji said. "It does not have to be anything fancy as we are only inviting the other Konoha Eleven with their plus ones, my uncle and younger cousin, the senseis of the group, and perhaps one or two others. It will be perhaps twenty-five in total at maximum."

"And if we could do it either this Saturday or next Saturday, that would be great. Also we're going to need maybe a month or two off from missions for the both of us, well, me more since I'm four months pregnant," Tenten said.

Iruka-sensei slapped the desk in front of him to keep from falling. Pakkun fell off the desk with a grunt. Kakashi kept staring, both dark eyes wide, and his gaping mouth visible even under his mask.

"Uh, too much information," Kakashi got out.

He rubbed his forehead for a moment then sighed. Iruka-sensei visibly shook as did Pakkun who had made it to his feet.

"Okay, so, first Tenten you have to fill out the maternity leave forms," Kakashi said.

Iruka-sensei went over to a filing cabinet then handed her two pieces of paper. She nodded to him.

"Second, Neji needs to hand in time off forms," Kakashi went on.

Iruka-sensei had those ready in his hand and gave Neji a sheet of paper with a smile on his face. Tenten bit her lip to keep from laughing as Neji inclined his head in thanks.

"Third you have to fill out an application for a marriage license,"

Again, Iruka had this piece of paper ready. Neji took it with a little smirk.

"If you do it all now, I can sign off on them today,"

Neji hummed. Tenten grinned.

"Give us ten minutes," Neji said.

Kakashi waved them off. Neji bowed as did Tenten. They left Kakashi in his office and used a briefing room to fill out the forms. Tenten giggled as she filled out her maternity leave form while Neji filled out his time off form. They filled in the marriage license application form together then went back into Kakashi's office.

He raised an eyebrow at them but his eyes crinkled showing his amusement. Pakkun grinned at them as did Iruka-sensei. They both handed in the forms and Kakashi looked them over before signing them.

"Ah, we also will need change of address forms," Neji said.

Kakashi, Iruka-sensei, and Pakkun stared.

"What, did you kids buy a house too?" Pakkun asked sarcastically.

Tenten pursed her lips as Neji wordlessly put the deed onto Kakashi's desk. Pakkun fainted again. Kakashi slipped down his chair as Iruka-sensei gaped and almost face planted on the desk. Tenten giggled.

Kakashi sat up in his chair then looked to Iruka-sensei who nodded. He handed them both another one page piece of paper. Pakkun muttered under his breath about taking a joke as a joke while Neji picked up their deed and put it back in his pocket.

"Okay, great," Kakashi muttered. "Now, I'm free between one in the afternoon and four this Saturday. We can use Briefing Room A as the venue. I'm sure once you tell Ino she'll decorate the place."

"One is fine and of course, you're invited Iruka-sensei," Tenten said.

Neji nodded happily. Kakashi deadpanned then shook his head. Iruka-sensei made a note in Kakashi's date-book then his own with a grin on his face. His eyes were misty as well but Tenten resisted the urge to hug him.

"Good, good, I'll have the proper forms filled out. Also, Tenten you're going to have to fill out a change of name form for your, well, everything. Once you get them done then I can stamp them as well and you'll be all set," Kakashi said.

Iruka-sensei handed her more forms. Good thing all her name change included was adding Neji's last name to hers. It wouldn't be that confusing.

"Thanks," Tenten told him.

"Yes, thank you Kakashi-sama," Neji replied.

"Yeah, go have fun telling everyone else," Kakashi said.

"Oh we will," Tenten told him.

They bowed and walked out of the office. Tenten started laughing once they were in the hallway and Neji joined her a moment later. They had both put their house keys on the ring for Tenten's apartment keys which now jingled in their pockets.

"Okay, so for the housing stuff we have to give my landlord sixty days notice, paint the new place then get all new stuff and sell the old stuff or whatever. For the wedding on Saturday we have to tell the others, get our clothes, and book a place to eat," Tenten said.

"We'll rent out a restaurant for the night and whoever comes, comes," Neji said.

"Oh, good idea," Tenten said.

"Let's do that first so we can tell people where both the wedding and reception will be. We also have to get a photographer to take at least a picture of us," Neji said.

"Right, hm, busy day,"

"Nothing we cannot handle after being trained under Guy-sensei,"

"True. Do we dare make this a challenge?"

"Do not go all Lee on me now,"

Tenten laughed at him as Neji gave her a little smirk. Other people might think they were going fast but they had been dating the longest out of every couple. Five years technically and even if they didn't count the unofficial years they had been together longer than any other couple. Most people had suspected their relationship a few months before the war so all they had done was confirm it the day Neji almost died.

Yusa and Lee hadn't gotten together until three weeks after the war. Even Naruto and Hinata hadn't started dating until a week after the war. Shikamaru and Temari started dating two weeks after the war. Sure, she and Neji were longest official couple by a few weeks but still. Everyone else was all ready married.

And Hell, Ino and Sai would be married a month after them after dating for a single year. No one could say she and Neji were going to fast without saying the same about Sai and Ino. Tenten led Neji to the restaurant district.

It was almost four in the afternoon. They had their wedding date set. By six tonight they might be able to inform all their guests and have a restaurant picked out. Tenten smiled but kept the challenge to herself. No need to make Neji freak out about her being too much like Guy-sensei and Lee.

Tenten laughed when Ino, Sai, Temari, Shikamaru, Choji, Karui, Kurenai, and Mirai stared at them in shock. Ino reacted first:

"WHAT?"

Tenten kept giggling as Neji hummed then shook his head. The entire restaurant stared at them but Tenten found she didn't care.

"I said: I'm four months pregnant with twins, we bought a house, and we're getting married in Briefing Room A at one this Saturday with reception to be held at the Amber Dragon Restaurant at five. You're all invited to the wedding," Tenten repeated.

"Naruto, Hinata, Yusa, Lee, Guy-sensei, Shino, Kiba, Tamaki, Sakura, Tsunade, Shizune, Anko, Ibiki, Hiashi-sama, Hanabi-sama, and Iruka will be the other guests as well as any plus ones Shino, Tsunade, Shizune, Hiashi-sama, and Hanabi-sama and Iruka may bring," Neji said.

Ino's head hit the table. Choji dropped the pork he had been about to put in his mouth. Temari still had tea dripping out of her nose while Karui had slipped down her seat and almost to the floor. Hell, Sai looked stunned.

"How in the Hell did we miss a month since this morning?" Temari asked.

"I don't know," Ino said.

She had moaned but hadn't lifted her head from the table. Tenten squeezed Neji's hand in hers and he squeezed back. She kept smiling, hell; even he had a grin on his face.

"Seriously though: this is Team Guy, you know, the quickest most efficient team in the entire village, known for doing insane things," Shikamaru said.

"Hey, we've been together the longest both unofficially and officially," Tenten said.

"Troublesome," Shikamaru muttered.

"She's got a point," Temari said. "Even if they don't count the time they were together before the war which most people figure was about a year, they've been a couple longer than all of us yet besides Ino now, we'll have all been married before them. Really we should've seen this coming."

Shikamaru mumbled his word along with asking why in the Hell he had stopped smoking. Temari smacked him upside the head and he pouted.

"Can Gaara and Kankuro come to the reception?" Temari asked.

"Of course," Tenten said. "The reception is open to all friends or anyone else who happens to wander in. We rented out the place from five until one. It'll be buffet style too so no worrying about ordering off a menu plus their baker is going to make us a three tier wedding cake. So far we've spent all of forty thousand ryo."

Ino groaned again. Tenten knew the blond was hitting the hundred and eighty thousand ryo mark with her wedding and wasn't done paying. Temari had spent eight hundred thousand solely because of the amount of guests. Sakura's had been two hundred and forty thousand as well. Hinata's, well, no one wanted to go there.

"If you like, Ino, you may decorate the briefing room," Neji said.

Ino's head perked up at that and a broad smile lit her face.

"We're going with gold and burgundy with black accents," Tenten said.

"You have a budget of twenty thousand ryo though we doubt you will need that much," Neji said.

"What about the restaurant?" Ino asked.

"They're covering decorations. You can talk to Yuna at the Amber Dragon to get ideas if you want," Tenten replied.

Ino blinked but nodded. She whipped out a day planner then marked the date.

"Dress?" Ino questioned.

"Well, I don't mind going shopping tomorrow morning if you aren't busy. Neji's good to pick out his own clothes and we all know I'm looking for a gold dress," Tenten said.

"Okay we'll do that tomorrow. Chairs come with the briefing room so no worry there. Don't need to worry about invitations since you're doing it verbally. No need to worry about a caterer. Huh. Sai, why didn't we do it this way?" Ino enquired.

"Because you wanted a fairy tale wedding?" Sai returned.

Tenten smirked when Ino snorted but kissed Sai's cheek. The artist looked painfully confused.

"We also have a photographer hired to take pictures during the entire event," Neji said.

"And we bought a guest book for everyone to sign," Tenten said.

Everyone stared. Tenten showed them the pretty burgundy book with gold lettering. Ino whacked her head off the table again.

"It came with fifty thank you cards and a fancy pen. Oh and for gifts we don't expect anything fancy. Just cash is fine and we'll put it towards furnishing the house on our own," Tenten said.

Stares and silence. Ino shook her head. Shikamaru rubbed his forehead while everyone but Kurenai gaped. Kurenai had the biggest grin on her face.

"Right," Karui mumbled.

"Why didn't we do this?" Choji asked in awe.

Tenten pursed her lips to keep from laughing when Karui shrugged.

"Because we're not Team Guy," Karui answered.

Tenten giggled and saw Neji smirk when Shikamaru snorted. Kurenai started chuckling which made her daughter grin.

"You two were the furthest behind the other couples at the beginning of this year now you're either on track or ahead," Kurenai said.

"Hey, yeah," Ino exclaimed. "You guys will be married before me, have a house before everyone but Naruto and Hinata, and have a kid before me, Sakura, and Yusa."

"Two kids," Neji corrected after a beat.

"Right, twins," Temari said with a shake of her head.

Tenten laughed. Neji coughed to hide a laugh. Tenten spotted movement then saw Kiba, Tamaki, Shino, Hinata, Naruto, and Sakura heading towards them.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Kiba asked.

Everyone but Kurenai and her daughter face planted on the table. The rest of the Konoha Eleven (minus Lee) stared at them then met Neji and Tenten's eyes. Tenten launched into her speech and they all fainted. Tenten managed to hold up Sakura while Neji caught Hinata. It took a moment for everyone to come to again then the same round of questions was answered.

"Fuck me," Kiba muttered when it was done.

"I feel like I missed a month," Sakura said.

"Join the club," Ino said.

Tenten smirked. Neji shrugged.

"We have to find Lee, Tsunade-sama, Shizune, Ibiki, Anko, Hiashi-sama, and Hanabi-sama. We will see you all through the week then on Saturday," Neji said.

"Yeah, sure," Naruto said.

Tenten could tell the future seventh hokage was still dazed. Tenten marked most of the names off their list as well as the note for telling Ino about decorations. She penned down a meeting time with the girls to find her dress and they left the restaurant to a chorus of amazed and happy good-byes.

"This has been a great day," Tenten said.

"Hn. Let us go to Guy-sensei first. Lee is likely with him," Neji said.

Tenten nodded. She smirked at the sky as it was a little before five in the evening. She almost burst out laughing five minutes later as while they were walking towards the center Guy-sensei was in they ran into Tsunade-sama and Shizune. Both fell over on the spot after Tsunade-sama yelled out a "what?" and Tenten repeated everything.

It took a few more minutes to field more questions than Tsunade-sama laughed and told them she looked forward to her Saturday afternoon. Shizune made a note in her date book and they parted ways, Tenten happily crossing two more names off their list.

She did laugh when she spotted Anko, Ibiki, and Lee visiting Guy-sensei. Tenten hoped the ringing would leave her ears after Lee and Guy-sensei's stunned shouts. They were hugged, Neji was slapped in the back thanks to Ibiki and Anko, and they answered the same questions. By five thirty they were headed towards the Hyuuga Compound.

"So, I made a mental challenge that we could inform all our guests before six," Tenten said on the way.

"Hn,"

Neji's amused sound complete with a smile. Tenten kissed his cheek. The Compound was quiet as a graveyard which was typical. Neji found Hiashi and Hanabi in the Clan Head's office looking over some paper work. Both raised their eyebrows when Neji bowed. Tenten followed along then looked to Neji. He nodded at her.

"Tenten and I are getting married on Saturday at one in the afternoon, thirteen hundred hours in the Hokage Tower in Briefing Room A. The reception will be held at the Amber Dragon Restaurant at five, seventeen hundred hours until oh-one hundred hours," Neji said.

Tenten wished she had brought a camera because the stunned look on Hiashi's face would've been worth a million ryo, easily. Hanabi had the same expression as her father: eyes wide, jaw dropped so far Tenten could see her tonsils, shoulders sagged forward, and eyebrows lost in her hairline.

Hiashi shook his head then let out a breath. Hanabi face-planted on the desk but Hiashi didn't even glance at his daughter. He opened his mouth to speak. Tenten saw Neji's mouth twitch but he kept the smile back before continuing his speech:

"We also own a home now and Tenten is four months pregnant with twins."

Hiashi opened his mouth, closed it then repeated this cycle five or six more times. Hanabi lifted her head off the desk and her Byakugan activated. Hiashi's did as well after a beat and they stared at Tenten's stomach in wonder.

"Oh my god there's two babies in there," Hanabi said shrilly while pointing at Tenten.

"Yes, that is what twins are," Hiashi said sarcastically.

Tenten snorted. Neji covered a laugh with a polite cough. Hiashi's Byakugan deactivated and he shook his head. Hanabi had come out from behind the desk to coo in front of Tenten's forming bump.

"Hello little cousins," Hanabi said.

Tenten laughed when Hanabi put her hand gently on Tenten's stomach and kept cooing, Byakugan still activated as she made baby sounds. Tenten spotted Hiashi smirk for several seconds before he cleared his throat.

"Congratulations," Hiashi said. "I assume we should have expected everything to happen quickly once the Elders agreed to your terms."

"Hell yeah," Tenten said.

Hanabi laughed. Hiashi tried to hold it back but he joined his daughter after a moment while Tenten grinned. Neji kept the smile on his face and his left hand in her right as Hanabi kept cooing at the twins.

"They look like little peanuts," Hanabi said. "I think they're girls."

Tenten gaped then stared at Neji. His Byakugan activated and he blinked. Tenten rubbed her forehead when Neji got in beside Hanabi. She groaned when Hiashi took the little room on Hanabi's other side with his Byakugan activated.

"I can't tell if that's a clitoris or a penis," Hanabi said.

"I do not think I am comfortable hearing you say either of those words," Hiashi said.

Tenten sighed. They all told her to stop because she was shaking the babies too much. Tenten rolled her eyes.

"One's is smaller than the other," Neji pointed out after a moment.

Hanabi and Hiashi agreed while Tenten shook her head.

"This is what I get for marrying a guy with x-ray vision," Tenten said.

"The good news is they both have ten fingers and ten toes," Hanabi said.

"Great," Tenten said with a huff.

"And they have strong heart beats," Hiashi said.

It hit Tenten then she was carrying life inside her. She looked down at Neji to see it had whacked him in the head as well. His lips had parted slightly and his eyes had gone wide but damp. He wrapped his arms around her waist then leaned his head on her side.

"We created life. I'm going to be a father," Neji mumbled.

Tenten put her hand on the top of his head but was glad he was hugging her so tight. She would've fainted if he wasn't. Hanabi snorted then patted Neji's shoulder as Hiashi chuckled. They both stood and deactivated Byakugan but Neji didn't look like he was ready to stand yet.

"And it just hit them," Hanabi said with a grin.

"Hn, when did you two find out?" Hiashi asked.

"Uh, one today?" Tenten guessed.

"Hn," Neji muttered.

Silence. Hiashi smirked, shaking his head. Hanabi laughed again.

"Wow, you guys really do work quickly," Hanabi said.

Tenten needed to sit down. Hanabi seemed to get this and grabbed a chair. Tenten eased into it more because Neji was still hugging her than anything else. She kept running her hand over his hair as he smiled softly, humming against her stomach with his eyes closed but Byakugan still activated.

"Wow, we're going to be married and have a house by this Sunday," Tenten said.

"Shush, I'm listening to their heartbeats," Neji said.

Tenten pursed her lips to keep from laughing then felt a weird kind of jolt. She looked down at her stomach when Neji chuckled.

"One hiccupped," Neji said.

"Aw," Hanabi cooed.

Tenten laughed. Neji huffed at her until she settled. He went back to listening to their twins' heartbeats with a little smile.

"Is there anything else we need to know?" Hiashi asked.

Tenten shook her head. Neji opened his eyes and his smile faltered slightly. He got to his feet as Hiashi went back to sit behind his desk. Hanabi followed but with a little pout. Neji's Byakugan deactivated and he thanked his uncle and cousin before bowing. Tenten got out of her chair then bowed. They were walking out of the Hyuuga Compound a few minutes before six.

"Ha, challenge met," Tenten said.

"Hn,"

Neji's thoughtful sound.

"You do realize how much our lives had changed since this morning right? We own a house, we're having twins, and we're getting married," Tenten said.

He nodded and wrapped an arm around her waist, drawing her body into his. She easily put her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his waist.

"We do work quickly,"

Neji laughed with her. This week would be hectic. They would paint and decorate their house, buy wedding clothes, and (hopefully) be moved into their home before the wedding.

"Ah, I hate to say this but you won't be able to help much with decorating, painting, or moving into our house," Neji said.

Tenten stared at him and was about to go on a rant of women being as strong as men then stopped. He was right. The paint fumes might harm their twins and if she lifted anything over a certain weight she could get hurt. But...

"Well, I could seal all our belongings into a scroll at intervals then summon them at the new place," Tenten said.

Neji opened his mouth then closed it. He blinked. Tenten beamed at him when he started laughing.

"I love you," Neji said.

"I know. I love you too you secret softy," Tenten said.

Neji chuckled. They continued the walk back to the apartment which wouldn't be theirs in two months. Their last stop for the night was talking to Tenten's landlord who congratulated her after getting up from a faint.

They strode back into the apartment at twenty minutes after six: wedding planned, house bought, and on the way to start the newest chapter of their lives. Tenten settled onto the couch while Neji walked into the kitchen to begin cooking dinner.

Today had gone a completely different route then she had planned but she couldn't be happier. Saturday would be the day which would top today but really, she couldn't wait until Sunday. Then they could enjoy their new life.

Haha, they're good like that. I always picture Tenten and Neji as this super organized couple, like not only does everything have a place but they can plan an event in a day (snorts) because they're so freaking organized and logical.

I mean, sure, Tenten's a little less neat than Neji's anal retentive self but she can still get a plan together within seconds. They're the couple that would make a power-point about the best reasons to do anything then give a presentation of it.

Reviews welcome. More plot coming soon and potentially more BDSM sex.
