Tenten: The married Virgin

Chapter 11

April 2009-October 2009


Sasuke smiled down at his fiancé. It felt good to call this entire relationship official. At the end of the month when Tenten would return from her mission, they would hold an official ceremony.

Sasuke was surprised that the clan had openly accepted his and Hinata's relationship. But he did suppose that Hinata's pregnancy had allowed them to be more accepting. Of course, they wouldn't want their heir to be pregnant out of wedlock. The council would have to get them married before the child would show.

They had agreed to wait until Tenten came back from her mission to have a official engagement. Until then, the council had allowed them to sign the binding contract for a potential wedding. The Hyuugas had agreed to pay for the entire wedding as long as Sasuke had agreed to live with the Hyuugas. He didn't have to worry about having to give up his family name for now. When the child is born, Hinata declared that depending on the eyes the child would be trained in the familial arts of its parent.

But right now, Sasuke was content with simply laying here with his pregnant fiancé and not worrying about how the world would see them.

Sakura walked into the hospital. She was scheduled for another abortion. This had become routine to her.

Sakura would walk into the hospital wearing something to hid her own image, complete the paperwork and then wait for the nurse to take her to the room where a abortion doctor would perform the procedure.

But somehow today, Sakura was nervous. The anger and hurt that she had seen in Neji's eyes made her even more apprehensive than ever to have an abortion. When he had come to find out the truth from her, she didn't expect him to be that physically cruel to her. He hadn't harmed her body but the way he fucked her made her realize that he was truly and deeply hurt by her actions.

The finished paperwork lay in her hands and the nurse was waiting to receive them. Sakura handed the nurse the papers and walked into the examination room. She dressed into the paper slip and rested on the reclined table. For the first time, Sakura felt sinful while laying on the table.

The pink haired medic passed chakra through her hands and motioned them above her womb. It had been just a few weeks but Sakura had known that she had conceived again. She could feel the light flickering of chakra from her baby.

A baby. For the first time, it was a baby, not a fetus not a clump of cells but a baby that was hers and Neji's. It wasn't something that was a big impact to her life right now but it was still there, forming in Sakura's body.

The door opened and an old wrinkled man stepped through the door wearing a doctor's coat and a smile. He was Sakura's doctor. For the past few years, ever since Sakura had conceived her first child, he would ask her if she was sure. And everytime she would reply 'yes' without hesitation.

"So Sakura-san, are you sure you want to have another abortion?" asked Dr. Nakamaru.

This time Sakura hesitated.

There were photographs covering the ground of Neji's bedroom floor. His eyes scanned through so many of them and he couldn't help but smile. He had made two piles and the bigger of the two were the ones he was keeping.

On top of the bigger pile, Neji had placed his Team Gai picture. The pictures were the ones formed Neji's life.

The first picture in the pile was of Neji and his father standing side by side, the day Neji received his seal. The next picture was a family picture with Neji, Hinata, Hanabi, Hiashi and Hizashi. That picture was the last one that Neji had with his father. No matter what happened to Neji he would always keep that picture with him.

It was Neji's dream to be a father. He wanted to be like Hizashi to his own children. In the past five years, Neji had dreamt that his children would be with Sakura. He dreamed that his children would look up to him and adore him. But now it seemed that fatherhood wasn't in Neji's fate. Because he knew that even if he had children, he could never become like his father to them. Hizashi was a man of his word, someone who was sacrificing and loving. Hizashi would give up his life for his family rather than live for himself.

And Neji had done just the opposite of that.

He lived for himself. He craved Sakura and went against his entire family for her. He lied and manipulated his loved ones so that he could frolic with Sakura, while his wife waited for him. Hizashi had never, not once, cheated on his wife, Neji's mother. Neji, on the other hand, did not but cheat on Tenten.

Going through his pictures once more, Neji's sight fell upon his wedding picture. This was the day he was bound to Tenten, the day he ruined her life. He could see the nervousness and anticipation on her face for their wedding night. He could see how happy she was to have him by her side.

If only he could make up for his mistakes…

Shino listened in carefully as Hiroshim entertained Tenten.

Hiroshim ordered a shot of tequila for Tenten, while ordering a gin and tonic mixture for himself. He had given Tenten a placebo drink that looked like the tequila that Hiroshim had ordered for her.

While Hiroshim was busy paying attention to Tenten and all the tricks her tongue could do, Shino had passed a few drops of tasteless herbal bugs to make a man the size of Hiroshim fall unconscious.

Shino was glad that Hiroshim himself had suggested the idea of a threesome between Tenten, himself, and Shino. This way he would be able to make sure Tenten was safe while still getting the mission complete. Tenten would not have to use any of her extra training on Hiroshim, but still would be able to take out Hiroshim.

Tenten smiled into Hiroshim's mouth as she saw Shino's eyes glisten with knowledge. She knew that he had agreed to the idea of a 'threesome' with Hiroshim. Granted it was only for the mission, but Tenten was excited to have Shino on her side in any sexual situation.

She rolled her hips over Hiroshim's old bones and turned to the bar to take her shot of tequila. She reached over to grab Hiroshim's drink as well and pressed her breasts against Hiroshim's face. She ran the hand that held his drink down Hiroshim's chest to tease him slightly. She placed the glass onto Hiroshim's lips and made him drink the gin and tonic Shino mixed for him.

He drank the mixture while looking straight into Tenten's eyes and squeezing her ass.

The next moment Shino knew, he and Tenten were hauling Hiroshim's dead weight of a body into the hotel room that they were renting. They had died him up against the rail of the bed, while keeping a vile of body paralyzing serum nearby on a stool. The interrogations would start as soon as he would regain consciousness.

While Shino and Tenten waited for Hiroshim to regain consciousness, they decided to finally talk over their situation.

They were sitting by the corner of the room nearest to the window. Tenten was leaning her head on Shino's shoulder while he had his arm wrapped around her. The emotionally draining part of their mission was over, now they had to extract the location of the missing girls, and the other buyers of the girls.

"Tenten, sometimes I wish I could stop the world right here," Shino said.

Even though the situation was not pretty, Tenten understood what Shino meant. She was content right here in his arms.

" I know what you mean. I don't want this mission to be over. I wish I could stay here with you forever," Tenten sighed.

" You should leave him. He doesn't make you happy. He doesn't care for you. Leave him and stay with me forever." Shino didn't need to mention Neji's name for Tenten to understand. She looked at him and knew that Shino was sincere about his proposition.

"I've already sent back the divorce papers. He won't be in my life anymore. But Shino, just because we're physical doesn't mean we're in love."

Shino pondered her statement. She had a valid point.

"You're right. But that doesn't mean eventually we can't fall in love. Tenten, I've always admired you. You're dedicated to those you care about. You stood by my side when everyone decided to leave me alone. You're beautiful even when you are fighting a thousand shinobi, covered in dirt and blood. All I know is that this mission has allowed me to grow closer to you than ever before. And that's something I don't want to give up," Shino smiled at her. He needed to let her know what he felt. Sure it wasn't an outright declaration of love but he wasn't even sure himself if he loved her. Granted he was in love with her, but did he really love her?

Listening to his words carefully, Tenten realized Shino was right. She needed to learn to love again. After giving her heart and soul to Neji, and getting it rejected had torn her to pieces. Tenten needed to learn how to love again.

Even if it meant letting Shino slowly heal her heart again.
