"I said Aaawww common baby"

"REPEAT THAT" he did not just call me-

"Common baby"

"DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT"

"Baby???"

"Yes don't call me that" I was getting frustrated. That word only sounds right coming from ONE PERSON'S mouth.

"Well why not???"

"Just because" I sat on his lap while we watched movies and ate rice. I still had the feeling that someone was watching us though…

-X-

"No Kiba don't-" To late…Kiba tickled me all over I laughed but not as hard cause he still didn't find my tickle spot.

"Aaawww common Tennie…cant you just tell me where your tickle spot is???" Kiba whispered in my ear. We decided to go to the park after the movie.

"Nu-uh…you gotta find it on your own…and if you can't then all the better for me" I smirked as Kiba tried desperately tickling me everywhere in hope of finding my special spot. "You'll never find it" I said sorta smug.

"That's NO FAIR!!! You know where mine is!!!"

"Kiba EVERYONE knows that your belly-button is your tickle spot!!!" I stated and ran towards the monkey bars.

"Wait let me push your belly-button!!!" Kiba chased after me and climbed the monkey bars. As soon as he was close I jumped off and ran into the soccer field. Kiba jumped and chased me around the whole park.

"NO YOU HAVE TO CATCH ME TO PUSH MY BELLY-BUTTON!!!" I smiled and ran everywhere trying everything I could to loose him. Nothing worked. Kiba was on my trail like a hound dog.

"That's no problem I'll catch you eventually" Kiba said running faster.

"Oh shit" I whispered as he gained speed.

"Your mine" Kiba said and jumped on me…YES JUMPED ON ME!!! "Caught you" he said all smug.

"Pfft ya you caught me…NOW GET OFF YOU FRICKEN HEAVY!!!" I pushed Kiba off of me and he rolled to my right. We laid there for a few seconds.

"Oh yeah" Kiba propped himself up on his el-bow and pushed my belly-button. I laughed but not so hard. "oh…I forgot you had a belly-button ring" Kiba touched the hard spot on my belly.

"Yeah remember…of a dragon" I pulled my shirt up just enough to see it.

"Yeah I remember you screaming when you got that in" Kiba chuckled. "hahaha they had to do it three times cause the first time you moved and the second time you kicked the dude in the face making him pass out" Kiba rolled over laughing.

"Hey if it didn't hurt so damn much then I wouldn't have moved or kicking the dude in the face!!!" I protested. Kiba kept laughing. "Lets see YOU get a belly-button ring and we'll see if YOU scream" I muttered.

Kiba smiled. "Guys don't get belly-button rings…just gay guys"

"I guess that's true…will you still get one though…for me" I smiled and he shook his head. I frowned "Fine then"

"Hey" Kiba stared at me for what seemed to be for hours but actually 5 minutes…weird.

"Yeah???" I said sorta weary.

"Where did you get that necklace???" Kiba asked oddly. "You only have one half"

I froze. "…uuummm…this???" I graved my necklace.

"Yeah…where's the other half???" Kiba asked again curiously.

"Oh…Neji gave it to me…he has the other half" I said in the no-big-deal sorta way…Kiba frowned.

"And why do you still have it on if your not going out with him anymore" Kiba asked furiously. WHAT THE HELL!!!

"Ok 1st I can hang anything I want around my neck 2nd I really like this necklace cause it symbolizes friendship which I still have with Neji and 3rd I never went out with Neji" I counted on my fingers so Kiba would understand.

"Why don't you just take it off" Kiba reached out for my necklace.

I slapped his hand away. "Excuse me, I happen to like this necklace" I spat out at him.

Kiba growled. "You can't keep it anymore cause your not with him anymore your with me"

"Just cause I'm your girlfriend doesn't mean you can tell me what I can or cant put around my neck!!!" I graved my yang piece protectively.

Kiba took deep breathes. "Fine whatever keep that piece of shit around your neck see if I care" WHAT THE FUCK DID HE JUST SAY!?!?

Ok now he pissed me off I punched him square in the nose where it was already broken, more blood squirted out. "YOU ASSWHOLE THIS NECKLACE IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME AND NEJI!!! IT SYMBOLIZES FRIENDSHIP WHICH WE STILL HAVE DESPITE THE FACT THAT IM GOING OUT WITH YOU!!! WHICH BY THE WAY ISN'T WORKING OUT SO GOOD!!! YOU KNOW AND I CAN JUST-"

"Ok ok Tennie gomen gomen don't get so mad at me" Kiba squirmed to his knees and held his nose. "I didn't know the necklace was important to you…please don't leave…I just got you back" Kiba pleaded.

"Just watch what you say GOT IT!?!?" I sat down next to him calming myself down.

"Gomen Tennie" Kiba reached out and hugged me.

"Yeah whatever" I stood up and graved his arm. "Common lets get that nose fixed"

"Arrigatou" Kiba graved my hand. We started walking to the hospital.

-X-

"Alright Tennie good as new" Kiba shouted with excitement. He pointed to his nose. We just got out of the hospital and it was dark outside.

"Yeah good as new" I mumbled.

"Kay we should head home" Kiba said after looking at the sky.

"Yeah that'd be a good idea" I stated. I watched the clouds gather. "It'd gonna rain soon" I whispered.

"Yeah sure is…looks like a storm" Kiba noted. "Kay cya tomorrow Tennie" Kiba walked off.

"WAIT!!!" I shouted.

"Ya???"

"Your not walking me home???" I asked with confusion and anger. Rain started to fall.

"I never did before…you can handle yourself that's what you always told me…" Kiba stared at me with confusion "Do you want me to walk you home???" Kiba looked at his watch.

"Jerk" I whispered.

"What???" He shouted. The rain was getting heavier.

"I SAID FORGET IT!!!" I yelled at him and started for my house.

"OH OK!!!" he yelled back. Asswhole could have at least given me his jacket or something. I turned around to see him put up his hood. And what looked like an umbrella came out of his pocket. I looked down and saw that I still had on the school uniform, my hair was falling out of place cause of the rain. The winds got stronger and I shivered as I made my way to my house. I couldn't find it…all the rain was coming down hard. DAMNIT RAIN.

"RAIN RAIN GO AWAY COME AGAIN SOME OTHER DAY!!!" I shouted "DAMN YOU!!!" I slipped and fell. Shit…my knee got cut by a piece of glass…what the hell!!! I sat down in the middle of the rain trying to get the glass out of my knee. Damnit this isn't working!!! "OH SHIT!!!" I just noticed I was in the middle of the road!!! A car was heading straight for me!!! No no no damnit!!! I closed my eyes…this was the end…I waited for truck to hit me so I could pummel to my death. It's cold…everything turned black. The rain kept falling hard as ever now that I was faceing my death. For a second I saw a figure get out of the truck and run towards me…that's all I saw before I passed out…

-X-

Whats this feeling???

Warmth???

Why does my throat hurt???

Where am I???

"Will she be ok???"

"Yes she'll be fine"

"Tenten can you hear me???" I recognized that voice…Hinata??? I nodded slightly.

"Tenten…baby can you move???" I recognized that voice to…and that word…that word sounded right…the way it was suppose to…I shook my head in truth I couldn't move…I had to force myself!!! "Are you sure???" Neji asked very worried…shit…MOVE TENTEN MOE!!! I opened my eyes.

"TENTEN!!!" Hinata tackled me with a hug. So it was the Hyuuga's.

"Hinata-sama get off of her…your hurting her" Neji whispered. "And keep your voice down her ears banged with the rain and the coldness talk to loud and you'll hurt her some more" Neji yanked Hinata away from me.

"Gomen gomen" Hinata whispered ashamed and sorry.

"Jus go wait out over there" Neji pointed to the side of his room.

"Ok niisan" Hinata quickly moved to where Neji directed her to go.

"Baby…can you move" Neji whispered to me…I nodded slightly. "Can you try and sit up for me???" Neji softly said to me…why do I feel so weak??? I moved my neck up and forcefully propped myself up a little then I quickly fell back down on the bed. "Don't force yourself" Neji said again with worry. I shook my head, my eyes weren't open but squinting. I forced myself up again. I arms were wiggling and my heart was hurting…what the hell happened to me?!?! I sat up and Neji quickly put his strong hand on my back to help me stay were I was. "Hinata-sama could you please go get Tenten some water???" Neji turned to Hinata who was out the door before my eyes could follow where she was. "Your gonna be ok" Neji whispered again and lightly hugged me. The door opened and Hinata was at Neji's side in an instant. "Can you drink this baby???" Neji slid the cup in my hand and i clutched it…my fingers couldn't support it that good…Neji saw this and graved the cup, he touched the cup of water to my lips. "Ready???" I nodded. He let down little by little the cold water that was inside the cup. It felt so good.

"A-a-a-a-a-arri-g-gatou" I managed to say when I finished drinking the water. My throat still burned and what I said came out all muffled and cracked.

"Baby don't talk if you can't…just rest" Neji laid me back down gently on the soft bed. I closed my eyes and did as I was told.

-X-

I woke up for what seemed like days. I looked around and found myself in Neji's room. I propped my self up.

"Tenten are you better now" Hinata whispered. She was sitting beside the bed the whole time. I looked to my right and there was Neji…holding my hand…he was sleeping, I didn't want to wake him…

"Yeah…I f-feel a lot better" I said with only a little bit of cracking of my voice.

"That's good" Hinata smiled.

"Why are you still here???" I asked…shouldn't we all be at school???

"I'm already ready…I was about to leave I just came 2 check on you" Hinata stood up so I could see her uniform.

"Oh" I looked over to Neji. "Isn't Neji gonna go to school???" wait…something was wrong…what about me??? "Hinata…" I felt my skin on an unfamiliar like shirt… "Where is my uniform???" I blushed.

Hinata giggled. "Don't worry I changed your clothes cause your uniform was all wet…you know…from the rain, and Neji insisted that he wouldn't go to school till you feel better or are capable of going yourself" Hinata nodded towards Neji "You know…Niisan cares for you more then Kiba could ever in his life…" She headed towards the door "He would never leave you in a storm" the door shut. It was silent now…just me and my conscience…oh and Neji…I set my head back down on his pillow closed my eyes and went to sleep.

-X-

I woke up again later that day, my head felt WAY better and my throat wasn't as dry. I rolled my head over to see if Neji was still there…he wasn't…I stared at his plain white ceiling. Stupid Kiba…stupid me…stupid rain…stupid nose…stupid hospital…stupid pain…stupid throat…stupid nice soft bed…stupid Neji bring me food-wait what??? I propped myself up so I was in a sitting position.

"Oh…you're awake" Neji whispered. He set a tray of food on the counter. "I brought some food for when you got up…our nurse/maid said you'd be up soon…"

"It's ok Neji-kun you don't need to whisper anymore…I feel a ton times better!!!" I jumped up from the bed. "See!!! Good as new!!!" I started punching and kicking the air. That when I realized what exactly Hinata had put on me…

Neji smirked. "That shirt looks good on you"

I blushed and went under the covers of his bed. "It looks better on you" I mumbled. Yep…stupid Hinata put one of Neji's shirts on me…the navy blue muscle shirt…but since I'm a girl and don't have the muscles Neji has it's all baggy over me. I had Hinata's black tight shorts…good thing the shirt covered me all the way down past my butt or I would have been MORE embarrassed…

Neji chuckled "You can have that one, if it makes you feel better, that way it's not my shirt your wearing but yours"

"Hmph" I curled into a small tiny ball in the sheets of Neji's gigantic king sized bed.

"Your clothes are almost dry don't worry" Neji sat on the floor next to the bed.

"Dry???"

"Yeah, I sent one of our maids to dry your clothes in the dryer" Neji shrugged. "So you don't feel to uncomfortable wearing my shirt…"

"No it's fine!!! Really, kinda cozy" it really was cozy, big warm soft…and it smelled like Neji…

"Ok then" Neji got up and handed me the tray of food.

"Arrigatou Neji-Kun" I slurped down my cereal and bit my French toast, then stuffed my eggs in my mouth then chugged my orange juice. I've never been so hungry in my life!!!

"…" Neji stared at me will I continued to eat my breakfast like a pig.

"Want…some???" I offered him some of my bacon. Probably shouldn't have offered it to him when my mouth wasn't full of cereal though…

"…" Neji smiled. "Sure" he took the bacon from my hand and ate it in two swift bites.

"What are you doing on the floor??? Your bed is big enough for both of us you know" I asked with my mouth full of delicious food.

"…I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable…you just recovered and your concerned about your clothes so I thought it be best if I keep my distance from you…to avoid trouble"

"Oh not this shit again" I gulped my food so nothing was in my mouth. "Common we both watched movies from here on your plasma TV" I pointed to his TV. "It's big enough and I wont feel 'uncomfortable' Neji-kun common I'm not like that…remember we're friends and friends can sit wherever they want" I pulled Neji's arm and made him sit next to me. "Now here have some pancakes"

"…alright then…" Neji crossed his legs and bit down gently on his pancake. I envied him…he could eat anything and make it look like a god was the one eating it. I looked down at myself; there were a whole bunch of crumbs everywhere. On MY side of the bed.

"How can you do that?!?!" I finally asked after he completely finished it all.

"Do what???"

"How can you eat with out dropping ONE SINGLE CRUM!?!" I looked down at his clothes and there was no site of any crumb around him.

"Easy…chew slowly and most importantly" Neji smirked. "Eat with your mouth closed" Neji reached out and closed my mouth cause I was dropping crumbs all over.

I frowned. "Hmph" I turned the other way and continued to eat the way I felt like. My back was now to Neji.

Neji sighed. "It's nothing to get mad over you know" He spun me around so I was faceing him again. "Besides…I think it's cute" he reached up and wiped some crumbs off of my face.

"Whatever" I turned back around to hide by blush.

Neji smirked. "So are we gonna go to school or just stay here all day???"

"I guess we could go to school…I mean we already missed dance and history…lets go during lunch" I picked up most of the crumbs I could.

Neji picked up the blanket and did sort of a wave making them fall to the ground. "I'll get a maid to pick it up later" I said and laid down on his side of the bed.

"It's not nice to leave everything to the maids you know" I laid right beside him kinda 'forgetting' we had 'sides' Neji flinched a little, he though about something but then let it go.

"We're paying them aren't we???" Neji said in the matter-of-fact way.

"Your uncle is paying them not you and you know he hates you" I graved a pillow and put it behind my head. "By the way how's that going??? You know with your uncle being all mad that you told him off???"

"It's all fine" Neji tugged the pillow from under my head and put it under his. "I got pretty much use to it…I don't eat here anymore so he doesn't have to see hat much of me"

I tugged back at the pillow. "Yeah I know you eat with me, Sasuke or Naruto, what about for dinner???"

Neji pulled it back under him. "I eat take-out after I drop you off or drop Sasuke and Naruto off"

I was getting mad; I tackled Neji and got the pillow back then hit him over the head. "Eating take-out every day isn't healthy you know, next time eat at my house or something"

Neji got up form the bed and headed towards his closet. "Kiba might be there…" Neji graved another pillow from his closet and plopped on the bed more on the edge of his side. I crawled closer to him.

"So what if Kiba's there, mi casa es tu casa tambien" I smiled. A few months ago we agreed that his house was my second house and my house was his second house. That way we both have somewhere to go when we can't stand being at our place. This came in handy after Neji had the fight with Hiashi.

"I don't think Kiba would like that" Neji replied.

"So"

"So like I said earlier…I want you to be happy…and if he makes you happy then it makes me happy to"

"He's not gonna leave me just because I let you eat food at my house"

"…"

"He wouldn't"

"Oh by the way…Why were you in the rain???" Neji tried changing the subject.

"…Kiba had to go to the hospital and when we got out it started raining so he said we should head home and we did…I didn't think the storm would be that heavy"

"He didn't at least walk you home or given you his jacket???"

"How did you know he had a jacket???"

"…Cause he was wearing a jacket yesterday…at school so I assumed he was wearing it after school to…" Neji scratched the back of his head.

"Anyway no he didn't…cause before when we were together I didn't want him to walk me or do anything like that…it made me feel like I needed protecting and I didn't want to be the weak little girl who cant find her way home"

"…"

"What???"

"Why is it that you REALLY don't want to be walked home???" Neji saw right threw me…he knew I had something else going on…

"…"

"Don't you trust me???"

"Yeah" I whispered.

"Then tell me"

"…My aunt…after my parents died I was sent to go live with my aunt…"

"You didn't tell me about your aunt???"

"No…"

"…"

"Anyway…she was the party girl of our family…my parents left me with her cause she was the closest family member we had…she always came home around 2 in the morning sometime later…she was always walked home by her boyfriends…sometimes she was even walked home by more then one guy…once when I was 13 I waited for her to show her my report card…it was the only time I had gotten all A's and I wanted her to be proud of me…like my mother would have…I waited by the window, and when I saw her coming down the street with her new boyfriend I was all happy, someone would finally be proud of me…I saw right there and then that her boyfriend graved her neck and threw her against the brick wall of outside our house. He then said some words, my aunt shook her head like she had no idea what he was talking about but then he took out a pocket knife and…cut her throat blood dripped everywhere and my aunt was dead. A beer bottle in her hand and the dude took her purse and took out a huge wad of cash then he ran away. I was so scared that I ran to my room and called the police. They came I told them everything that I saw…turns out the guy had shot himself before the police could throw him in jail…after the funeral the police asked if I had anyone else living in that house that could be my legal guardian and I made up a story of how my uncle was gonna come soon from his trip in China. They believed me but in truth I had no uncle…I lived there till' I found my job at starbucks from there I returned to my parents' house which is the one that I'm living in…" I looked up at Neji to make sure he hasn't fallen asleep. He was paying close attention to me this whole time. His eyes locked on mine while I told my story.

"…So is that why you don't let Kiba walk you home??? Cause you don't trust him well enough???"

"I was taught then to 'trust no one but myself'…then you come along and change everything"

"You trust me enough to walk you even after you saw that at a young age but yet don't let Kiba???"

"I wasn't that young and I thought about letting Kiba walk me but then decided I didn't need him and yeah…after what happened I don't trust Kiba enough to not kill me on our walk to my house in the dark"

Neji smirked. "That makes more sense on how you kept your distance the first time I walked you home from my house"

"HEY I JUST MET YOU!!! How was I supposed to know that you would become my best friend???"

"I guess you had no way of knowing" Neji got up and headed towards the door. "Common it's almost lunch time at school, lets get dressed"

"Kay" I jumped of off his bed and followed Neji.

Neji pulled me down to the floor all of a sudden, and then covered my mouth, I wasn't scared though. "Ssshhh…don't move from here…Hiashi-sama is over there and he doesn't know that you're here"

I nodded. "Kay" I whispered then Neji got up casually and walked to the laundry room.

"Neji I thought you went to school when Hinata left" Hiashi stood up from the kitchen chair. I was hidden behind the living room couch so there weren't any chances of him coming over here.

"I decided to sleep in" Neji stated in the what-do-you-care sort of way.

"Ok then what are you doing in the laundry room???"

Neji gritted his teeth. "I decided that going to school is better then staying in this house with you" Neji slammed the dryer. And walked out of the laundry room with a plastic bad so Hiashi wouldn't see my clothes were in that bag.

"Why the plastic bag???"

"Why do you care???"

"Neji that's enough of your rude behavior tell me why you have a plastic bag when you can just carry your clothes to your room"

"I don't want to drop anything on my way up the stairs" Neji growled.

"Fine then you may leave"

"Whatever" Neji walked towards me and quickly graved my arm and ran up the stairs to make it sound like there were only his feet climbing the stairs. We got to his room and he quickly graved his uniform out of the bag and handed me the rest. "Hurry and change so we can get you out that window and still make it in time" Neji pointed to the window of his room.

"Kay" I graved the bag and ran to his private bathroom. I changed quickly into my uniform and my extra added things. I walked out to find that Neji was already ready. He sorta changed his uniform too. He didn't buckle the last three buttons showing a little of his chest but not a lot. He had a black sip-up sweater with the word 'Byakugan' imprinted in white. What does that mean??? He left the top part un sipped you could see his white shirt just a little and could also see his three un-buttoned buttons. His tie was over the sweater in a loose cool way. He went to the office to order bigger sized pants making them look baggy with a studded belt holding them in place. I had to admit he looked hot. "I like your new change in clothes, makes you look hot" I smiled; he knew I meant it in the friendly way though.

"A-Arrigatou" Neji bent his head down and I saw his blush. I smirked at the fact that I could still make him do that.

"Alright so how we gonna do this???"

Neji's blush kinda faded. "I'll go down stairs and grave my keys then I'll head out the door, after that wait for my signal threw that window"

I nodded "Gotcha"

Neji headed out the door and I herd him slam the front door. Making sure Hiashi saw or at least herd Neji leave. "TENTEN"

"Yeah" I stuck my head out the window.

"Jump down" Neji opened his arms. "I'll catch you"

"OH HELL NO!!!" I shook a fist at him "YOUR PLAN WAS TO MAKE ME JUMP FROM 4 STORIES HIGH!?!"

"Shut up if you don't want Hiashi-sama to hear you!!!"

"I'm not jumping"

"Your gonna have to"

"No way in hell are you gonna get ME to JUMP out of YOUR WINDOW"

"Don't you trust me???" Neji held out his arms again.

"…yes…but I don't wanna die if you don't-"

"Do you really think that I'm gonna let you die??? Before you die I'd kill myself for not being there to save you"

"…ok…but If I die your coming with me!!!" I jumped. I was now free falling out of the Hyuuga mansion. I refused to shout, scream, yell, ext. cause then Hiashi or the neighbors would hear. I targeted on Neji, He took his stance and was ready to catch me. I closed my eyes and waited.
