I'm sad. I just read the new chapter of Naruto and it just sunk in that Sasuke is probably not coming back…

Oh, and today's my birthday so review as a birthday present.

Tenten: Warnings, this chapter has almost nothing to do with the main plot. Especially the part with Hikaru.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 9- Irrelevance and Unwanted Actions

(No POV)

"Sakur—"

Sakura handed the phone to her mom angrily and stormed off.

"Hello?" Mrs. Haruno greeted.

"Mother?" Mio asked.

"Oh, hi Mio! What a pleasant surprise!"

"Well, mother, the reason I, like, called, is because me and Katsurou are getting married in a month!" (A/N: Answer to question number 1, and the reason no one guessed it was because it's completely not relevant to the story plot… But it will be…)

"Oh… oh my… at your age? You're just twenty years old, Mio. Isn't this a little sudden?"

"Mother, I'm an adult. I'm not going to have you hovering over my life, making decisions for me. Katsurou and I are in love and that's enough, isn't it?"

"Getting married is a big commitment. Are you sure you want to so soon? Why not postpone the wedding?"

"We don't want to postpone it. We want it in exactly thirty-one days and that's when we'll have it."

"Do you have the plans all ready?"

"Actually, that's why I'm calling. We need your help with the wedding."

"Well, if you would postpone it, maybe, but I can't help in this amount of time."

"No, Mother. We refuse to postpone it! Fine! We don't need your help! You're in the wedding party so come to the wedding on October fifteenth! Good-bye!"

And with that, Mio hung up.

!#$%^&*()()*&^%$#!

(Neji's POV)

"Hey, Sasuke, it's me, Neji. Listen, I need your help."

"Okay, what do you need?"

"Is it okay if I come over for a bit? I think it's better if I explain it there."

"Yeah, sure. Anytime you want."

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes. I just need to sneak out…"

!#$%^&*()()*&^%$#!

(Tenten's POV) (Flashback-ish…)

"Just please don't leave me…" He gave me the puppy-dog eyes that I hate saying no to…

I winced and looked away. "Kiba, please don't."

"Tenten, I just need one more chance. Please."

I sighed. "One. More. Chance."

And that started the make-out session… (A/N: Answer to Q3)

!#$%^&*()()*&^%$#!

I'm skipping the previous Hikaru and Tenten part since I doubt you want to read that again. Also, the answer to question 4 will come later. Probably MUCH later.

!#$%^&*()()*&^%$#!

(Present time)

Where is he?" Hikaru asked, jolting me out of my thoughts.

"Um, I don't know…" I said unsurely. I knew where he was. He was either still at the Hyuuga meeting, or at home. He was grounded, where else could he be?

"How do you not know?!" Hikaru asked angrily.

That pissed me off.

"I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T FOLLOW HIM! WE DON'T SPEND EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY TOGETHER ANYMORE! WE'RE NOT FIVE ANYMORE! SO JUST SHUT THE HELL UP AND BELIEVE ME!" Everyone in the store was looking at me by this time. Did I care? Not even in the slightest.

Hikaru seemed to get more pissed by me yelling at him, but knowing him, he didn't want to attract attention, so he pulled me out the store by my upper arm. His grip was really hurting me but I didn't show any sign of pain.

"Don't you ever yell at me!" He shouted once we were at the park, which was about two blocks away from the store.

"Why?! Will it ruin your pride to be talked back to by a woman? You sexist bastard, I'm not your girlfriend anymore! I'm not going to just do whatever you say! You may have dumped me, but I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE!"

"Shut UP!" He slapped me across the face.

Holding my cheek in the place he hit me, I yelled "Fuck you!" and punched him in the nose. Hard. Not as hard as I could've, but still hard.

He pulled my face to his and started forcefully kissing me.

I tried to pull away, thinking of Kiba. Thinking of how this would really hurt him. I tried to scream, but opening your mouth while being kissed against your will, is not a good idea. Especially if the perpetrator is as full of himself as Hikaru is. He will think you're kissing back and that you want to deepen the kiss.

He put his tongue in my mouth, thus dominating the kiss, and started exploring.

'Holy shit, he's a good kisser…'

NOT THE TIME, I.T.!

By this time, escape was almost hopeless since he had one hand tightly wrapped around the back of my head, forcing my lips to his, and the other holding my body to his, also trapping one arm to my side.

I decided to go total Twilight on him, Eclipse actually, but whatever, and completely shut down, not reacting at all.

He decided I was done and let go of me. Again, I went Eclipse on him and punched him in the face. But unlike Bella, my hand didn't break. His nose however…

"What the fuck?!?!" He yelled.

"DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING DO THAT EVER AGAIN!" I screamed at him.

"You seemed to enjoy it." He smirked, despite the broken nose I gave him.

"I was trying to scream! I have a boyfriend! I just cheated on him against my own will!"

"You seemed more than willing." Stupid smirking face. I'll break that too.

"I. Hate. You." I turned and walked away, realizing that I got really far away from my house. The park Kiba and I met at was about five blocks from my neighborhood and seven from my house. The store was four blocks from that park, and the place I was technically raped (Unwanted penetration! His tongue penetrated my mouth and I did NOT want it!), was two blocks away from the store. That adds up to thirteen blocks. I did not want to walk that whole way back after what I was just through.

I grabbed my trusty track phone and clicked the first speed-dial.

"Hey, Ten." A voice I was completely relieved to hear answered.

"Ne-kun, something bad happened to me. Can you take your mom's car to pick me up?" I asked. "I'm at… Hitchings Park…" I read the sign that I was standing in front of.

"Uh, yeah, I think my mom will allow that… I'll see you in like four minutes."

"Kay, thanks Ne-kun." After that he hung up.

"…Ne…kun…?" An angry voice from behind me asked. "What happened to "I don't know where he is?"" He mocked me with a girly voice that sounded nothing like mine.

"It's none of your business, Hikaru. Leave me alone."

"No, I think I'm gonna stay here until "Ne-kun" picks you up."

"I think I'm gonna kick your ass if you don't leave me alone." He showed no signs of moving so I kicked him as hard as I could in the shin.

"Jesus Christ!"

"Are you leaving yet?"

"You crazy bitch!" While he was bent over holding his shin, I knee-ed him in the face. He grabbed my leg and pulled, causing me to fall on my butt. Ow. That's gonna bruise…

While I was on the ground, I kicked his still bent over face. He yelled out then straightened up. He kicked my stomach, then my hip, then my legs, (I was still on the ground) and kept kicking me in those places. It was starting to hurt like hell, while I was just curled up on the ground, trying to avoid his hits for enough time to get off the ground.

"Tenten!" I heard the voice of a freaking savior.

Hikaru looked up at the voice and I used this moment to pull on one of his legs to make him fall, rolling out of the way when he almost landed on me.

"Gah!" He yelled.

"Neji!" I tried to get off the ground but my bruised legs refused to take anymore strain. Neji walked up to me and gently picked me up off the ground, bridal style.

"Are you okay?" He asked me, as if he was talking to a little kid. Grr.

"Hyuuga!" Hikaru yelled. "Fight me!"

Neji set me down gently and walked up to Hikaru. He acted like he was going to punch him but stopped when his fist was two inches away from Hikaru's face and after Hikaru flinched. He put his hand down, then brought it back up and punched him really really really fast. It was awesome!

That way, Hikaru's eyes were open when he was hit. I was trying not to laugh as Hikaru was clutching his face and Neji was walking away, smiling and laughing silently.

Neji picked me up again and we laughed the whole way to the car, talking about how much of a wuss Hikaru was.

Once we got there, however, the subject changed.

"So, you said something bad happened. What was it?"

I had a murderous aura then and I scowled and glared at a piece of paper on the floor. The paper crumpled on its own. No, I'm totally kidding, but that would've been cool though, right?

Anyways,

"Hikaru. Kissed. Me." Neji pulled over and stopped the car and got out. "Where are you going?" I asked.

"To punch that little punk a few more times. What a nerve…" He left my sight and came back in ninety-two seconds. Yes, I did count.

"How did it go?" I asked.

"I think he'll have to have a nose job, but on our side it went quite well." He smiled and I laughed.

"So, are you gonna come hang out at my house now?"

"Sorry, I have plans with Sasuke. Don't tell mom though. By the way, thanks for asking me to pick you up. I then had an excuse to go to his house. Mom thinks I'll be at your house today."

"Why are you going to Sauce-chan's house?"

"I need to talk to him about something. If everything goes well, it won't take more than a couple hours. I could go to your house then, if that's okay."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I sulked, then muttered, "Stupid guy hanging out with his stupid guy friends."

!#$%^&*()()*&^%$#!

(Neji's POV)

After I dropped Tenten off, I went straight to Sasuke's house and explained to him why I was late.

"That stupid bastard. Where does he get off kissing poor Tenten." Itachi commented on my explanation. "He should fucking get in line. There are tons of guys who would kill to do what he just did."

I agreed. I've seen the way most guys look at her.

"So, anyways, Neji, what did you need help with?" Sasuke asked from his place on the couch across from me.

"Well, my uncle decided if I don't become more serious then I'll be shipped off to a boarding school in fucking America." I explained. "I decided that if I'm going to become more serious, I should learn from the guy who is known for it."

"So… You want stoic lessons from me…?" Sasuke asked cautiously.

"Yeah, basically. Could you help me? I just got reunited with Tenten and I don't want to be torn away from her again…"

Do smirks make sound? Because I was looking down and could've sworn that I heard Sasuke smirking. Eh, whatever.

"Okay, this sounds fun. We'll help you." Itachi announced, not bothering to wait for Sasuke's answer. "First of all, you can't ever talk back to the elders. No matter how much you want to punch their wrinkly, old faces, it's not ever worth it."

"Okay, that makes sense." I commented.

"Don't laugh or smile. Chuckle and smirk. There is a huge difference." Sasuke added.

"Got it."

"Don't talk a lot."

"Sit up straight."

"Don't show any weaknesses."

And the lessons went on like that for around three and a half hours. The two Uchiha brothers were teaching me how to eat properly when I remembered what I told Tenten.

"Shit! I have to go. Can I come back tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure. Call me before you come over." Sasuke said.

"Thanks, guys. See ya."

!#$%^&*()()*&^%$#!

(Tenten's POV)

Neji said it would only take a couple hours. This is really pissing me off. I hope his mom notices the extra miles on his car and grounds him again.

The door opened at the exact moment I thought that.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry it took so long!" Neji exclaimed.

"Eh, whatever."I acted like I didn't care, even thought I was still a little pissed. "What were you doing there anyways? Sauce-chan is boring."

"It's kinda a secret." He said cautiously. I was about to tell him that he could tell me anything, but he continued. "It's Sasuke's secret." I noticed his tongue was in his cheek again.

"Liar. Whatever, I don't care."

He seemed relieved. Jerk.

"So what do you want to do?"

"I could kick your ass in video games like when we were kids."

"Fine, but you can't tell the guys if you happen to win."

"No promises." I smirked.

One hour later, the score on my Crash racing game was twenty one to seven. I was the later score.

"When the hell did you get so good at video games?!" I shouted.

"When you left, I spent a lot of time on video games. I wanted to get better than you so if I saw you again, I wouldn't be embarrassed because I got beat by a girl. I guess it worked." He laughed.

"Whatever. This game is stupid."

In forty-five minutes, he beat me twelve times in Mario Super Smash Brothers.

"Do you know how much I hate you right now?"

"Yeah. Not at all because you love me so much."

"Only if you don't tell the guys I lost to a guy. I have only lost to Naruto once. He bragged about it for weeks. If you tell, I'll make your life very unpleasant."

"Psh. Like you could."

"Hmm… I could tell the guys about that time you pissed yourself at my house and started crying."

"I was three years old!"

"They don't have to know that…" I smiled smugly, certain that he wouldn't tell.
