Ok... I hope you enjoy this chapter... it has some fulf... I guess
Neji awoke to a sound next to him. He looked at where he was and saw that he was still at the training grounds. He blinked and looked up at the fiery sky showing that it was sunset.

Again he heard a sound, he turned to the sound to see Tenten a few feet away. She was whimpering in her sleep, when he looked closely at her he could see tears. She looked like a kicked puppy sleeping on the streets, Neji's mind wondered what she could be dreaming of. Neji's heart was bleeding for her, he wanted to call out to her and help her.

Hesitantly he moved over to his teammate. When he was right next to her he sat down, he looked at the girl who was now even shivering. Unsure of what to do he laid a shaking hand on her shoulder.


Almost immediately she stopped shivering and had clamed down. Neji blinked at how simple it was, he didn't think that it would be so simple. When he saw that the sun had set and it was now dark he decided to bring her home.

He stood up and picked Tenten up in his arms. As carefully as he could manage he made his way to her apartment. When he reached the door he was forced to put Tenten down to open the door. When he did a few seconds later she began whimpering and shivering again. Neji saw this and opened the door as fast as he could.

When he finally got the door open he brought Tenten into the apartment and closed the door. He walked through her apartment with her in his arms, still asleep. As carefully as possible he set her on her bed in her room.

He was left with a strange question, would he be able to have her sleep alone and suffer from her nightmares and sleep in his own room. Or could he stay with her and possibly get his ass yelled at tomorrow.

He decided that he would have to stay here in order for to not sleep with guilt. He sighed and sat on Tenten's bed, he looked at his sleeping teammate, and lay down next to her. With so little room their shoulders touched but he decided to think nothing of it and closed his eyes to sleep.


Tenten's eyes opened to see the ceiling of her room. Her eyes looked in wonder of how she had gotten to her room. She felt slight warmth in her shoulder and looked to see what it was.

She gasped when she saw it was Neji whose shoulder was lightly touching her own shoulder. She looked at the sleeping Neji with wide eyes, she could only wonder why Neji was next to her. She had thought over many of the reasons that he would be next to her for.

'If he's next to me because he wants a little whore for a night' she began in her thoughts 'then he's got another thing coming' she finished angrily. She knew that all men had hormones, even Neji, who was over eighteen, and that was the only reason she could come up with. She didn't even think of another reason why Neji would be next to her.

Tenten, angry as hell, got up and looked at the clock that said 5:30. She walked over to Neji and stood right in front of him glaring at his sleeping body.

"Neji get your ass up or I'll make you!" She yelled at the sleeping prodigy. Neji woke with a start and fell off the bed. Neji sat up and rubbed his sore head. Neji looked at the angry Tenten and wondered why she was so angry, and then he remembered that he slept in her room with her.


"Neji, could you be so kind to tell me why you were sleeping on my bed, next to me!" She screeched in his ear. Neji stood up and looked her in the eye. Tenten glared back at him. Neji sighed this was, dare he say it, troublesome.

"Tenten, clam down. I did nothing to you, you were having nightmares again and that was the only was for me to get some sleep while you didn't suffer from your nightmares." Neji told her calmly, all while appearing to be stoic.

Tenten blinked several times, she hadn't expected that answer at all. She looked at Neji sheepishly, and grinned in embarrassment. Neji rolled his eyes and left the room.

Tenten looked at the door after he left and looked down in shame. 'How could I have been so stupid!' She exclaimed in her mind. She was feeling really bad about thinking so lowly of Neji.


'Damn, I'm pathetic. Here I am acting like a brat when Neji is trying to help.' Tenten though as she slumped to the floor in her thoughts. She looked at her ceiling once more and sighed. When she got up from the floor she noticed that she didn't seem tried anymore. She felt better physically, but emotionally she was beating herself up for acting so stupid.

When she left her room she was fully dress for the day and mostly ready. She headed into the kitchen and saw Neji there. He was eating a piece of fruit that she had had in her kitchen. Almost as if on cue, her stomach growled. Neji looked at her and then returned to his fruit. Tenten grabbed an apple and but into it, when she had finished eating Neji was ready to leave as well.


Tenten nodded to Neji and they both left her apartment. During the walk Tenten was being to feel frighten that she may have offended Neji so much that he would ignore her. She looked at Neji from the corner of her frightened eye and saw him looking impassive as always.

"Something wrong Tenten?" Neji asked when he saw her look at him. Tenten looked away as if she was ashamed. "Well?" He asked pushing for an answer.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you." Tenten said quietly, still not looking at Neji. Neji sighed, Tenten looked at Neji to see if he had anything to say.

"I had expected you to yell at me when you would wake up." Neji remarked, Tenten stood rooted to the ground. Neji turned back to see why she had stopped. Tenten noticed that Neji had stopped for her and made her way to stand next to him.
