Author's Note: This was a request by Dark Flame. Hope you enjoy and I don't let you down. My first time writing this pairing.

Tenten panted as another hour ticked away on her training. She had been out since after lunch and the sun was just now resting over the tops of the trees. Another kunai buried itself into the target centered on the trunk, followed by two others.

The kunoichi collapsed to her knees, another kunai held in her hand, ready to launch. Her breathing was irregular, and drops of sweat trickled down her forehead. She really should be quitting, but something kept her going, throwing more and more weapons at the target, never missing.

Finally, she threw one last kunai before again collapsing on the ground. She listened for the familiar 'pink' as the dagger hit the tree, but it never came. Instead, the next thing she saw, the weapon dug itself into the forest floor beside her head.

Tenten gasped and sat up to look for the explanation. Her eyes were met by a dark eyed stare. It was none other then the Sasuke Uchiha. The one Sakura always rambled on about.

"Isn't it a little late to be training?"

"Shouldn't you be back on your on training grounds?" She snapped back, snatching the kunai from the ground.

"I was passing by and heard you. Figured I make sure you were friend and not foe." Sasuke smirked and examined her work on the tree. "Impressive? How long have you been out here?"

Tenten was paying more attention to the person talking to her then the actual conversation. She had never really taken her time and fully looked at him before. There was a reason why Sakura was so infatuated with the young man. He had his cool, mysterious exterior that kind of drew you in. Similar to Neji, but more bad ass and just… hot. Not to mention, he had these dark eyes that just—

"Did you not hear me?"

"Huh? What? Oh, only a few hours, not that long. How long have you been watching?" Tenten scolded herself and concentrated on what he was saying.

"Long enough. I can see that you're exhausted, but… How about a little spar before we both turn in for the night?" Sasuke held up a hand, fingers twirling kunai with expertise.

Tenten grinned and stood up, collecting her own expanse of weaponry. "A duel with the legendary Uchiha. Bring it on."

Nothing more was said as Sasuke jolted towards her and aimed his dagger for her throat, easily dodged.

The two were a blur to anyone watching as they went at it. Tenten was tired even before they started, but she never backed down from a challenge. And Sasuke… well, he was just looking for a casual fight.

They didn't last too long. Tenten pinned him to a tree, kunai at his throat, and Sasuke had her legs entangled with his, ready to trip her into his own kunai. No words were exchanged, as they both gulped in air and lowered their weapons, their bodies still inches from each other.

Tenten tucked her daggers away and looked around for Sasuke as she finished. But he was already on the edge of the forest clearing. "Hey!"

He paused, but didn't look back at her.

"Umm…" it was a little awkward as she tried to find something to say.

"You're not half bad. I did more work then I thought needed. Next time you train, let's have lunch and spar some more." Sasuke looked back at her, that stupid smirk on his face again.

Tenten stared at him stupidly as he left and she was alone. It was only till after he had left did she smile and blush like a childish girl.
