Tenten slammed her door behind her and leaned against it, she was panting her chest heaving, she felt so stupid, Neji hated her, he was just making fun of her. There was no way that Neji Hyuga could like her. She was a nobody, she didn't even have a last name, she just went by the name Weapons mistress, or Tenten.
Tenten felt her eyes sting again but she wouldn't cry. It was a shinobi rule to not cry. So she couldn't. looking down she saw the book in her hands she didn't even remember bringing it with her. Then she remembered, she'd mentions taking photos, if Neji had found them he would have kept them with the diary, and after a quick check she saw they weren't there. There was only one place she would hide them. Tenten went into her room, and went over to the secret hiding place, she'd found when she was younger, it was where she normally kept her diary, but in her drunken daze she mustn't have put it back. Climbing under her bed Tenten found the loose board. And reaching in she found the small knot in the wood. Slipping her finger in she pulled up the second board and pulled out the box. Crawling out from under the bed Tenten sat on it and opened the box. Inside was about 20 pictures. Tenten took them out and flicked through them, the first 5 where when she'd just joined team Guy. The rest were of that night. 10 of them were of Neji laying naked on the bed, the covers on the floor and a small smile on his face. The rest were of Tenten curled up in Neji's arms hand sticking out holding the camera to take the photos. Tenten was grinning in all of them.
Neji slumped on his bed, he'd done it now. Tenten hated him, more than he ever thought she could, he shouldn't have blocked her memory, he shouldn't have done anything. He'd fucked it up, and he didn't know what he could do to make it better. But he had to do something, he loved her, he really loved her, but she hated him, more than ever.
Sakura was woken by loud knocking on the front door, climbing out of bed, bypassing Sasuke's arms Sakura pulled some clothes on and went to the front door. Opening it she found Tenten on the doorstep
"Hey can I come in?" Tenten asked
"Yeah, um Sasuke's with me though, he's in bed." Sakura let Tenten in to the living room
"You want some tea?" Sakura asked
"Yeah please" Tenten said, her voice dull.
After Sakura got the tea they sat on the couch together, legs tucked up
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked
"You remember my birthday last year?" Tenten asked
"Yeah what about it?" Sakura asked
"Do you remember what happened to me after I left the bar?" Tenten asked
"No, we went to look for you but you were gone" Sakura told her
"Well, me and Neji had sex" Tenten told her
"YOU WHAT?!" Sakura shrieked
"Apparently we had sex" Tenten muttered
"Apparently, you don't know?" Sakura asked
"No, Neji told me I freaked and he erased part of my memory of that night. I went to his today and I found my old diary, he'd took it, and was hiding it" Tenten told her
"That bastard" Sakura muttered
"That's not all, we had sex yesterday" Tenten told her
"WHAT?!" Sakura shrieked again
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP" Sasuke shouted from upstairs.
"SORRY BABY" Sakura shouted back
"When?" Sakura asked more quietly
"After you lot had left, there's something you need to know" Tenten told her, Sakura nodded for her to continue
"You know how Lady Tsunade's got her match making plan, well I don't want to get married to who she chooses for me, so I told her that I was already engaged" Tenten looked into her mug "Neji said that he would help me, and pretend that it was him, because Lady Tsunade wants to meet him at the end of the month. So we were pretending that we were in love and that's why we were like that yesterday, well we had sex not long after, and then I found out about the night of my birthday, he hates me, he didn't want to help me, he just wanted to make me miserable, but I love him" Tenten told her
"That bastard, but I don't think he hates you, I think he loves you, but he doesn't know what to do" Sakura told her
"What do you mean?" Tenten asked
"Well, you were having a nervous breakdown when you found out you'd had sex the day after your birthday. So he wiped it from your memory to protect you, didn't he" Sakura said
"Yeah"
"So he wants to look after you, but well, he's not that good with people is he and he's not good with emotions so he's trying his best" Sakura smiled
"Yeah I suppose you're right, I'd better go and talk to him" Tenten told her starting to stand
"Or" Sakura said
"Or is good, or what?" Tenten asked sitting down again
"We make him jealous" Sakura grinned
"How do I do that?" Tenten asked
"You don't know how?" Sakura asked "Have you never had a boyfriend?"
"No, I've only ever been doing my job" Tenten told her
"Unbelievable, fine I'll help you, and we'll get Ino and Hinata in on the act, they'll help, and we'll have to talk to the guys as well, we'll need them"
Tenten went home, her head swimming with all that had gone on. She shook her head, no she wasn't seeing things, Neji really was outside her house, looking at her
"What do you want?" Tenten asked, making sure that her voice was cold
"We need to talk" Neji said
"Fine" Tenten walked passed him and unlocked the door, she hung her coat up by the door and carried on into the kitchen, to make herself a cup of tea, she couldn't let Neji see that he was effecting her, that was all part of the new plan
"Talk Hyuga" Tenten said from in front of the kettle
"About your diary, I'm sorry I shouldn't have took it, I shouldn't have wiped your memory, I'm sorry and I never meant to hurt you, you don't know how sorry I am" Neji told her, breaking out of his icy shell for once.
"I don't care Hyuga, it doesn't matter. I just wanted sex that's all and you served your purpose so." Tenten told him keeping her back to him.
"But" Neji said
"No, get out please" Tenten said
Neji sighed and left. She hated him, he felt his heart break in two.
Tenten was woken up by shouting outside her house, and looking out of the window she saw Ino, Sakura and Hinata.
Walking to the front door she unlocked it and pulled it open only to be shoved out of the way by Ino
"What the hell were you playing at girl?" Ino shouted
"What?" Tenten muttered rubbing her nose
"NEJI" Ino shrieked
"Ino, could you stop shouting" Hinata asked
Not long after all the girls were up to date with everything that was going on.
"So what are we doing?" Hinata asked
"All the guys that we can think of, that aren't ours we'll set up on a date with Tenten, but we'll let them in on the fact that it's to make Neji jealous, so nothing happens. And then Neji will get jealous and have mind blowing, kinky make up monkey sex with Tenten and then we'll get Lady Tsunade to get them married not whoever she's chosen" Ino pumped her fist in the air, leaving the rest of the girls sweat dropping.
"Isn't Kankuro coming to the village at the end of the week?" Sakura asked
"Yeah, but Kankuro is mine, and mine only" Ino snapped
"No I mean, him, Gaara and Temari are coming too, so if we get Gaara for the last one and make him and Tenten look serious then that'll make Neji snap" Sakura said
"Forehead you're a genius" Ino shouted
"So let's see we've got, Sai, Gaara, Choji, Shino, Kiba and I suppose we could get Genma, I know Neji doesn't like him near you, that's all I can think about" Sakura counted them off on her fingers.
"Okay, so we'll start with a make over, new wardrobe and get you on a date, I'll spread gossip and Hinata can talk about it when she "doesn't know" Neji is near" Ino made air quotes.
"We could get Temari in on it as well" Hinata suggested.
Ino dragged Tenten out of her house to go clothes shopping. As much as she hated it, if it helped with the new plan she would do it
Ino dragged her into a shop and held a dress up against her, it was red with black straps and stopped just above the knee.
"Perfect, and it'll look good with your skin colour" Ino said before folding the dress over her arm
After a long day of clothe shopping Tenten fell into her bed. All she could hope was this plan worked.
