BACK TO TENTEN P.O.V.

Tweet tweet...tweet...

'Ngh...birds?' I scrunched my face as I heard the soft noise come again, then took a deep breath as I felt a warm breeze caress my face. I slowly opened my eyes to see a white ceiling above me with the shadow of leaves from sunlight greeting me. I slowly turned my sore neck, groaning slightly, to the right where an open window was right next to me. I looked at the beautiful clear blue sky, and the tops of sakura trees, their color more vibrant due to the bright sunlight. I then noticed that along the windows ledge, further down, was a crystal vase that was over flowing with fresh white roses. It was at this moment that I took notice of their incredibly strong scent. A small smile came to my dry lips, I swallowed thickly as I pulled my gaze away from them and looked at the rest of the small room. Taking notice of the heart monitor, I.V., and blood bag next to me. My legs began to feel stiff so I shifted them to be a bit...more...comfortable... I looked down at the cool white sheet that covered the lower half of my body. 'last time I was conscious my legs were broken... how long have I been out?'

I whipped my head to the right once again, but immediately regretting as the soreness shot up my spine to my head 'ugh, easy Ten' I stiffly began to push myself up, hissing quietly at my aching muscles, and the pain that was rippling throughout my entire body. I finally pushed my self up high enough to see better out the window, and saw the tops of buildings, and then saw the most familiar of them all. 'Hokages tower' I smiled with small relief despite the pain 'i'm back' I let out a small breathless laugh 'i'm finally home..' I began to hear the sliding of a door, and slowly turned my head to see three familiar people walk in.

"would you two stop bickering! Were in a hospital we need to-" Hinata gasped as she saw me sitting up and starring at all of them with a soft smile, Ino and Sakura that came up behind her immediately shut up when they saw me also. It was like they were frozen,

"heh...um hey guys" I sheepishly croaked. Everything was put back into action as they all rushed over to me, crushing me in an all too painful hug

"oh Tenten!"

"you're finally awake!"

"we-we were so worried * sniff *" Ino...always the drama queen, I struggled to pat her head.

"i- I missed you guys to but- agh...um, still a little sore and- in pain guys." They immediately let go sheepishly but with still glossy, tearful eyes. Hinata wiped away at her lilac eyes

"* sniff * wh-when did you wake up Tenten?" I chuckled as I rubbed the back of my head

"just a few minutes ago"

"here" Ino handed me glass of water. I thankfully took it and gulped it down, I tried again

"better" they all gave me sad smiles "dammit..." I murmured. Sakura giggled as she took the glass from me and put it on the small table next to me.

"sorry, Ten, your voice might be a little bit on the rough side for the next few days"

"eh, its okay, no big deal... um say.." I looked down at my legs, wriggling my toes and only seeing the sheet twitch with their movement

"h...how long have I been... you know.."

"out?" Ino finished for me

"yeah..."

"well..." Hinata's soft voice started "you were really banged up when you first brought here" I noticed the pain in her voice as she mentioned that "Tsunade fixed you up as best as she could, and for the most part was able to reset the bones in your legs, enough to make a quick recovery, so it's been about a week" A dumbly nodded my head, when suddenly another though hit me.

"And Neji?" I turned my head to look at them and watched as they all visibly stiffened "where is he?" Hinata hesitantly came over and sat next to me on the white bed

"um, Tenten..."

"is-is he okay? He's not hurt is he? Oh Hinata please don't tell me something happened to him!" she frantically waved her hands infront of her and shook her head no

"oh no,no,no,no Tenten nothing like that...it's just...he hasn't been the same..."she looked away

"what do you mean?" She sat silently "Hinata.." I pushed

"...he blames himself for everything that happened to you, he's rarely been sleeping, eating, or socializing really...he's been isolating himself.." she suddenly turned to completely face me "i'm really worried Tenten, he spends all day at the training grounds working himself to death, then he comes home late in the night, and leaves early in the morning to repeat the same pattern all over again. He's not himself! When he comes home late, his footsteps are heavy and at times even clumsy, that's not like him!" I looked at her sadly as I placed a hand on top of hers "i..i dont know what to do... i'm so worried for my nii san..." we were all silent as another warm breeze entered my room, the scent of the white roses wafted into my nostrils stronger than before, i turned my head to look at them, my sight caught on some sakura petals the flitted in and spun and twisted into my lap.

I stared at them, I then touched them, feeling their silkyness and fragility. I stopped and clenched my fist, I had to see him

"Hinata" I rasped, she looked at me with tears in the corners of her eyes "where is Neji now?" she blinked a few times

"at the training grounds, where you, he and Lee first met.. why?" I only nodded, and then gently pushed her to stand up and give me some room. I pulled away the sheets, finally seeing my legs. They were still slightly bruised and scratched, but not as bad as I thought. I swung them over the bed, and held back a groan at the pain that shot up my body 'note to self, stop fucking moving so fast' The moment the girls noticed what I was doing they stepped in.

"Tenten" I looked up making eye contact with Sakura "you're not getting out of bed, you're still recover-"

"i don't give a damn Sakura, I need to see Neji"

"no." her voice was firm as she stood her ground, but it didn't faze me

"yes, Sakura." I shakily stood, my left hand using the small table for support

"you can hardly support your own weight! Tenten as a medic I forbid you from leaving this room, you're not well!" I shot her a glare

"Sakura, Neji needs me, he's not well. You, Ino, and Hinata know better than anyone that i'm the only one who can stop him"

"Tenten, I usually don't agree with forehead but she's right, you need to get back in bed, you're not helping anyone in this state"

"Neji won't wait, he needs me, if you're going to let harm befall a friend then fine, but at least im trying to aid someone in need and someone I love." 'wait love...?'

"you- you love nii san Tenten?" I looked at Hinata's large shining eyes, I forgot to breathe for a moment before responding

"...yes, and nothings going to stop me from helping him."

I looked at Ino and Sakura, ready and waiting for their rebuttal, but their came non. Ino only smiled as Sakura let out a frustrated sigh

"fine, but if you cause more damage to yourself there'll be hell to pay!" she pointed at me with a pointed glare. I only smiled back

"thanks Sakura". Her look softened considerably. I shakily let go of the table, and steadied myself. Hinata took a step forward to help me, but I only held up a hand to stop

"Ten..."

"it's okay, if I don't start walking by myself now, when will I? Now, do you per chance have some clothes?" she smiled as she gestured to a black and white pile on a chair. I shakily walked over to it with a slight limp, I grabbed the clothing "i'll be out in a minute" and moved into the restroom. I closed the door behind me and slipped the out fit on. It was a pair of black spandex short shorts that came up to my wait, I had a kimono top that I tucked in, the collar was wider so it sat snuggly on my shoulders. My hair was left down as usual, I walked out, I sheepishly asked "heh, any shoes?" Ino giggled and handed me a pair of black sandals. I thanked her and stiffly slipped them on. "well" I began "i'll be off, can you guys cover me while i'm gone" Ino gave me a thumbs up with a huge smile

"good luck girly" she wiggled her eyebrows as I lightly blushed.

Sakura elbowed her

"don't mind her, just be mindful that you're not your full healthy self alright?"

"alright mom" she playfully glared at me. Hinata suddenly approached me, before I could even speak she threw her arms around me in a gentle yet firm hug"Hi-"

"thank you Tenten..." I was silent "for everything" I slowly hugged her back, after a bit she slowly pulled away with a watery smile, I smiled back

"hey, i'll always have your back" I looked at Sakura and Ino "all your backs". Soon enough I snuck out of the hospital successfully and began to make my way stiffly and as quickly as I possibly could with my injured body through the town and the forest. Every step was becoming more and more painful as my legs bloomed with pain and a sharp stab went into my hips. My back was beginning to ache as I moved and it was almost beginning to hurt to breath, I was much to determined to get to Neji, in a weird way though I knew that he not only needed me, but I needed him as well. I was slowly falling apart and my strength was quickly diminishing, by the time I had arrived at the training grounds my legs were shaking violently. I watched Neji as his white robes were as white as ever, but the sign of sweat was obvious as it made the thin breathable fabric cling to his well toned back, I swallowed and licked my dry lips,'God, he really will be death of me'.

He was in his open stance as he thrusted his open palm to the middle of one of the wooden stakes, blue bursts of energy flared out as he made contact with it. The wood was dispersing wood chips with the blue bursts, he was relentless, and didn't look like he was going to be stopping anytime soon, I bit my lip as I quickly, as fast as I could in my condition, moved towards him.

NO ONES P.O.V.

Neji panted as thick rivulets of sweat slid down his face, he continued beating the wood, but then abruptly stopped when he felt a pressure around his middle. He looked down in mild shock to see to white cloth covered arms around his middle, he was surprised that he hadn't sensed anyone, his guard must have been really down... but now that he was concentrating, the chakra was... all too familiar..

"T...Tenten?" he started hesitantly, their hold tightened.

"I heard that you haven't been yourself lately.." her voice was rough, but still soft and music to his ears

"I got worried.." he slowly began to bring his hands to touch her arms

"i don't want you to be in pain...Neji" she felt his hot hands touch her. The trembling in her knees was becoming almost unbearable and she was sure that she wouldn't be able to hold herself up much longer, her hold became impossibly tighter. They were silent as they stood there. He took in the feel of her body and soft breasts pressed flush against his back, her feminine smell and heat was starting to fog his brain. Tenten couldn't bare it any longer, her legs were too weak, her knees began to buckle as she succumbed to her weight and waited for the impact of harsh ground, and the pain to come with it. But in a sudden gust she was tightly held around the waist and pressed tightly against a soft yet firm all too familiar chest. Neji's beating heart thundered softly in her ear. Her hands reached up and tightly held onto his biceps, he could feel her small nails digging through the fabric to his flesh, but it didn't faze him.

He held her tightly, keeping her upright, and preventing her still bruised body from falling.

"Tenten..." he gently called to her. She slowly turned her head up to look into his pearl like eyes. Her very face pulled at his heart strings as an intense heat washed over him, he licked his sweaty lips. "Shouldn't you be in the hospital, you're in no condition to be out here" he gently chided her as a gentle smile came to her plump lips

"i had to see you, I had to know you were okay" he was speechless at her confession.

"but I am I-"

"Hinata told me about your recent behavior, and she's worried about you too" he was silent "she said that, ever since you brought me back, you weren't the same, you weren't ok" he gave a mirthless laugh

"well how was I suppose to be, I should've kept a better eye on you, but no, I was fucking careless" she felt his grip become more firm, but ignored it and listened to him continue "none of this would've happened if I had just been with you, it's my fault that you're like this, that, fucking christ, that you can hardly stand i-" he was shushed as she suddenly place a delicate finger over his lips, silencing him with her gentle look.

"Neji" she spoke "what happened that day is no ones fault, everyone was busy with important things, I can't have you all putting your lives on pause just for me."He was silent as he listened to her strained voice" you have lives, no one knew what would happen that day, but it's all in the past now, i'm just glad that" she rested her head on his chest "that i'm with you now, in your arms" he looked down at her brunette head and slowly rested his lips there inhaling her sweet scent. She was content as she felt the pressure of him on her head, they stayed silent for a long while before she heard his voice again

"Tenten" she looked up to see his face

"hm-mph!" but before she could react he had crushed his lips to hers. She gasped at the intensity of it, he took advantage of the opening and thrusted his tongue into her sweet cavern. She mewled happily as she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. They continued kissing as his tongue stroked and battled hers for dominance. He ravaged her lips and pulled away to see her kiss swollen lips already calling him back, he looked as one of her shirts sleeves had slipped down showing more of her creamy skin then he believed that he could handle. Tenten suddenly noticed that Neji was gently laying her down on the soft grass, she was thankful as the pain in her back and body in general began to fade, but was then caught off guard as he suddenly attached himself to her exposed neck. Licking, biting, and nibbling at her sweet flesh. She moaned as his lips were doing unbelievable wonders on her "Neji..." she breathlessly called his name, he came up and gently teethed her ear, she cried out in pleasure at the feeling and then squirmed as his tongue went in and then out of it. She was too distracted to notice his skilled hands pulling her top from her shorts and then peeling it off of her slightly sweaty body. He began to trail butterfly kisses along her jaw and down her throat to the newly exposed skin. She gasped as her hands shot up to his silk like hair, her fingers tangling in it easily "Ne-neji.." she whimpered as he suckled on her right breast while fondling with the other. She cried out as he bit the pink nub and ran his teeth along it, he did the same to the other one, and began to move down once again. Her breaths were coming out ragged as she watched him grab the pant line of her shorts around her small waist with his teeth, and tortuously drag it down to her thighs. His hand did the rest and pulled it off her completely, She blushed furiously as his heated gaze was looking over her like the grandest prize he'd ever received.

Sensing her embarrassment he gently kissed her as his hand slid smoothly down her abdomen and past her panty line. She gasped as she felt his fingers begin to rub her throbbing clit, Her arms wrapped tighter around his neck, he pulled away and went back to toying with her ear, making her cry out louder then before. She panted as she watched his hand that was inside her panties working her into complete mush. The soreness in her body was still there, but was instead pulsing in an oddly pleasurable way. She let out a high pitched gasp as she felt his calloused thumb rub her little clit roughly, she began to squirm at the very feel of it, tightly closing her eyes but then opening them again. She cried out as she felt his middle finger slip into her wet core. She heard him groan in her ear in approval, her head fell back at the all too over whelming feeling. She screamed as he entered another finger, stretching her virgin pussy.

"ah! Neji!"

"shh.. i'm right here" the feeling building inside her was starting to become unbearable, and it was tightening impossibly tight. She screamed as another digit was added to his insistent thrusting, She was being stretched to her max, and God did it feel so good.

She squirmed as she felt the tightness begin to come to an all time high, she was ready, so ready for it she couldn't even believe it, but he abruptly stopped. She whimpered in disapproval, her nails clawing desperately at his back

"Ne- Neji! Please! I-i was so close!" she hardly registered the quick fumbling of fabric before she felt something hot and hard be shoved into her soaking wet pussy. She choked on her breath as she felt his large penis inside her, in between her legs, the pain was quick but it stung,

"i know" she heard him breathlessly say. She clung to him for dear life as he slowly began to pull out, she felt the burn again

"w-wait!" she cried

"shhh..." he spoke against her lips "i know it hurts, it'll go away faster this way" she sobbed as he gently cam back in, a few thrusts more though and she was beginning to moan in pleasure

"ahhhh, n-neji, please" she begged "more.." he more than happily obliged, he began to pick up the pace. Her tightness felt unbelievable around his large dick and it was complete euphoria. Tenten screamed with euphoria as she felt the same feeling from before build up again, but with a new found intensity that had her mind in a thick haze "ngh, Neji!" he went faster and harder at her sweet voice.

They panted at their quick movements and relentlessness to finish, wanting to make it all the way to their orgasms. Tenten felt her muscles tensing as she could hardly breath, she was so close and she needed this she truly did, she almost choked though as an intense ripple ripped through her more intense than any other. Neji watched her face in amusement as he found that special spot, he continued hitting it as she drooled. Her nails dragged down his back but then suddenly sunk in as she arched her back and let out a scream of euphoria at her sudden orgasm. Neji continued pumping, stretching out her orgasm, soon leading to his, he groaned

"Tenten..". Her eyes widened as she felt his hot seed shoot into her, and cried out in pleasure at the waves of pleasure that kept crashing into her, drenching her in ecstasy. Her legs shook at the intensity of him cumming inside of her along with her cumming. After a few minuted they went limp with the rest of her body as he slowly pulled out of her. He collapsed next to her on the now cool grass, he pulled her on top of him so her sore and now worn out body had something comfortable to lay on. The sky quickly became dark as stars soon peeked through the black curtain watching the two lovers rest, as they winked and twinkled with approval, the moon beaming down with a glorious glow. For this, was a glorious night.
