'What now? What should I do?'
Neji was in a bigger puzzle then he had ever been in before.
Tenten and Naruto we're being controlled by Sigma's demonic minion, Seth. Lee and Sakura were in the middle of figuring out how to fight their own comrades while dodging every attack thrown at them. Neji was the main target and he was surrounded from both sides by Sigma and Seth.
To get out of this seemed impossible.
'I don't know their jutsu but they know my own…'
Neji tensed as Seth drew nearer. Seeing that Seth was too close, he jumped away onto the roof of a hotel. Sigma and Seth followed.
Once Neji caught sight of them they were pushed away by his devastating air palm.
The whole time, the Hyuga was thinking of a way to defeat them.
Sigma and Seth came on the roof again and this time Sigma shot bolts of electricity from his hands. Neji dodged each shot and threw kunais to stall the old man's 'spell casting'.
'How is he doing that without a jutsu?'
It made no sense. To perform lightning type attacks you need a lightning type jutsu, and to perform jutsus you need chakra. He has none.
Seth attacked Neji with his halberd, but the young assassin was too fast. Activating his Byakugan, he dealt a deadly blow to Seth's chest and sent him flying into the safety bars of the rooftop.
"Enough of these games…"Sigma began.
At the speed of light, Sigma grabbed Neji by the collar and threw him to the floor.
Before the throw target could realize what had just happened, Sigma leaped to land in front of him and pierced the floor just above his head with his staff.
Neji, the past events finally coming to his mind, got up as quick as he can and got some distance.
"It's no use, Hyuga…"
He tried to figure out what that meant but it was too late. The staff glowed bright blue and a beam of light was shot from its tip towards Neji.
With quick thinking, he dodged the beam, but the beam wouldn't give up.
It followed him and was locked onto him forever, or at least until it hit him.
Neji fell to the floor unconscious.
"Now, what would be the most painful and lasting death for you…?"
2 hours later…
Neji slowly opened his eyes to find his love, his three friends and his two foes standing all around him. All, excluding Sigma, had those same red eyes.
He noticed he was tied up and that they were in a some kind of cave inside of a mountain.
Neji looked at Seth and then at Tenten.
'They both have the same emotionless eyes. It's like Seth is under the same spell… But that can't be, he's the caster'.
Or maybe not… Sigma stood there smiling while the rest were just staring with no features.
Then, it hit him. Seth wasn't the one controlling them. Sigma was controlling all of them.
"Where are we?" Neji asked cautiously.
"We're inside the Hokage monument. I had to get away before ANBU notice what was happening; now for your end".
Tenten took a step forward.
"Ten…?" He tried again. It was no use.
"I must admit I never thought she would be your lover. What better death than by one's own lover?"
Tenten took a kunai and held it out to Neji's throat.
"Do it", ordered Sigma.
"Tenten, I know you're in there. I know you would never ever hurt me. You'd never hurt anyone without a good reason. I know you can hear me. Fight his control! I know you can do it! Ten… Please… I don't want you to end up being Sigma's slave for life. You've got to break free…"
Tenten just stood there, no response at all. Neji's head fell and then he felt the sharp blade touch his throat lightly.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Do it!" Sigma ordered again.
Neji closed his eyes and expected pain. But none came.
What hit his cheeks were wet and salty; Tenten's tears.
"I don't believe it…" Sigma's jaw fell.
"Tenten?" Neji looked up.
She was crying, but Sigma was still in control.
Her hands were shaking as they slowly drew nearer to Neji's throat once more.
"No!" She let out a scream.
'There's no other way', Neji decided.
"Byakugan!"
Sigma turned his attention to Neji, who's eyes were glowing a bright white.
Sigma felt an excruciating pain, now.
"What's happening?!"
His legs were disappearing, along with the rest of his body.
His voice was a loud 'GAAA!' as he disappeared forever into oblivion.
The Hyuga was panting and all of Sigma's former minions were returning to normal.
"Neji!"
Tenten cut the rope and hugged him, tears falling once more.
He hugged her back tightly and felt like never letting go.
The other's were wondering what had happened.
"We were all under Sigma's spell, including you, Seth", Tenten explained, turning to Seth now that he was a normal person again.
It turned out he was a ninja from the Water Country.
Lee held Neji's shoulder from one side and Tenten from the other.
They descended the monument and head to the Hokage's office to report to their leader.
The next day
Neji was sitting on his manor's roof, deep in thought.
"Neji…"
Naruto called. The Hyuga could hear the slightest touch of a feather so there was no need to shout.
"I just wanted to say thanks. For everything…"
"No need… You've done a lot for me in the past; I was just returning the favors I owed you".
Naruto grinned. "Want to train?"
"Nope… I got to take care of something".
He jumped down to the ground and waved to Naruto.
Heading in the direction of Tenten's house, he felt an object in his pocket and smiled in amusement.
*knock*knock*knock*
The door opened slowly. "Hey".
"Hey".
They smiled at each other. "Come in, I was just about to make some tea, would you like some?"
"Sure".
Tenten turned her attention to the kettle in front of her.
"Ten…"
'Hmm?'
Tenten turned around and froze in her spot. Neji was on his knees holding out a small black box with something shiny inside.
"Will you marry me?"
………………………
"Tenten?"
"Ten?"
Without warning, Tenten jumped into Neji's arms and shouted…
"I ACCEPT! I ACCEPT! I ACCEPT!"
They kissed passionately as Neji carried her by her bridal side into her bedroom and closed the door behind them.
The End
