~A NejiTen Fanfic~

Tenten's POV:

It was probably three AM when there was a knock on the door.

I groaned, rolling around in my cell. Trying to get some sleep seemed impossible, the insomniac I was, plus the conditions of the cell. But finally when I did get some sleep some stupid, gay . . . I stopped my train of thought.

Flashback:

No way! Thirteen turns?! He beat me!

The kid looked at me and gave me a cocky smirk.

My eyes twitched. But finally I smiled, muttering, "Gay,"

A memory of Neji Hyuuga. Damn myself (and that bastard Hyuuga). For thinking of him in a time like this it was all his fault.

The door swung open and in swooped the ugliest dude I have ever seen. And when I say ugly . . . I mean ugly. He reminded me of a fricken snake. And there was something about him when he walked through the door, his evil aura that sent an icy chill throughout the room, and also down my spine.

I tried, and failed, to scoot farther back into the wall as the man approached.

His tongue stretched out for me barely missing licking my face.

I cringed at how close he was.

"My dear Tenten," he began.

"How do you know my name?!" I demanded without thinking.

"Does that matter?" He asked slithering closer.

I shivered. It was almost like he was paralyzing me. It was like I could see my fate.

"Allow me to introduce myself," he continued. "My name is Orochimaru,"

My eyes widened and I felt sweat drip down my head and I cowered in fear.

Orochi means "Large Serpent" in Japanese. He was definitely snakelike.

"Wh-what do you w-want?" I asked, trying to sound in control but failing miserably.

"Well originally I just wanted you as bait but now that I think of it . . . I might want to have some fun with just to make Neji extra angry."

I scoffed. "Don't even bother,"

"Oh?"

"He didn't even care about me last I saw of him. He had to girls on him,"

My eye twitched remembering the memory.

"Ah," Orochimaru sighed. "I was afraid you would think that,"

"Hn. What do you mean by that?" My eyes were closed in frustration.

Orochimaru chuckled, menacingly. "Child he only did that to protect you,"

My eyes snapped open.

"What?!" I cried. "You lie!"

My lip trembled as he grew closer. Now I was scared with what he has said. 'Fun,'

He put his finger under her chin.

"Neji will kill you if you do anything," I spoke, not even conscious of what I was saying.

"Oh but it'll definitely be worth it, don't you think?" Orochimaru questioned.

I breathed in a shaky breath before . . .

"HELL NO!" Rebelliously, I headbutted, sending him into a wall and I dove to the door.

Grasping the handle and yanking part of me knew on the inside it wasn't going to open anyway.

Orochimaru grabbed my shoulder not very gently.

"Come on back," he said.

"Yayyyyy no!" I shrieked trying to break free but he slammed into a wall.

He grabbed my fists and shoved them above my head.

"You know," Orochimaru stated. "I normally don't waste my time raping girls but you're just to fun,"

Pure terror was written all over my eyes, scribbled in red ink as I cried tears of pain and fear.

"Please don't do anything," I begged. "Just let me go,"

"What fun would that be?" Orochimaru asked, his tongue dancing over my bare skin in my extremely revealing costume which I was still wearing.

"B-But I wanna stay a virgin," Hot tears were now staining my cheeks.

He chuckled. But didn't say anymore . . . he then stole my very first . . . kiss.

My eyes widened so big I thought they would pop out as his lips were pressed against mine.

This was not good. Not good. Not good.

What the hell are you doing?! FIGHT!

I CAN'T!

I clenched my fists into balls and prepared them for a punch.

Fiercely I gave him a jab in the gut.

Orochimaru laughed shakingly after the pain as he stepped back.

"Too fun," he repeated.

I felt more terror as I stepped back and he stepped forward.

Instead of going for my lips Orochimaru yanked down my sequenced top, revealing my strapless bra.

My mouth gaped open and this time I shook with anger and lunged.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Third Person POV:

Neji Hyuuga clenched his fists as he returned back to the stage area reporting to Tsunade.

"She's nowhere within a 1 mile radius," he informed her.

"Poor Tenten," Sakura said, frowning. The giving Neji an evil glare.

"Hyuuga," Ino mumbled. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

I raised an eyebrow. "If she weren't so short-tempered she wouldn't have run off," I explained in frustration.

Tsunade was having a little growling session on her own as she leaned on a dresser in the dressing room where they were all huddled.

"It could be worse," Neji finally got the courage to speak up.

"What?"

"I think that not only was she kidnapped but by the Konoha Gang,"

Tsunade's eyes widened, for a split second showing terror.

"Neji Hyuuga," She said softly. "You know what he'll do to her."

"OF COURSE I DO! WHY THU FUCK DO YOU THINK I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW?!"

Tsunade trembled.

"Get all of your stupid little friends and rescue her!" She spat. "I'll be right behind you,"

"Let's do this," Temari pulled out a knife.

"Hell yeah," Naruto agreed, cracking his knuckles.

Sakura spun her nunchucks.

It was the entire gang of friends. Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Kiba, Temari, Neji, Sasuke, Hinata, and Shikamaru.

Then from behind them, "We wanted to help to,"

It was Suigetsu and Karin (The two lovers )

"When did you guys get here?" Ino asked.

"We were watching," Suigetsu answered.

"Figured we help," The reluctant Karin admitted. "I mean I am also on the team,"

"Good," said someone from behind them. "We need all the help we can get."

It was Tsunade, with her right hand she twirled a gun smirking.

"That son of a bitch thinks he can mess with my dancer but he is mistaken."

"We're wasting time," Neji said.

"Like Temari said . . . Aight let's do this!" Naruto pounded his fist in the air.

Neji's POV:

We stalked the streets like a true gang. Of course we weren't that vile but there was something about us. A determination.

Tenten was everyone's friend.

Even . . . mine.

When she's kidnapped it's only natural for everyone to want to retaliate.

But now that I really think of it . . . she's the only friend I've ever had or at least the closest thing.

Naruto and I are friends too along with everyone else but I don't trust them as . . . much?

"Neji," Tsunade hissed. "Snap out of it."

I looked up at her. "We're here,"

I narrowed my eyes and Sasuke cracked his knuckles.

"This is it," he said.

"Aight," Naruto said.

Sakura sweat dropped. "Stop saying that,"

"Let's just do this already so I can get to bed," Shikamaru groaned.

Suigetsu smirked, stretching his arms. "Fine with me!"

I flew into the wall again . . . and again once more.

He was vicious. I actually couldn't tell if he was beating me up or raping me.

Orochimaru's tongue snaked around my neck and I started to choke through tears, screaming also.

Snake-man reached for my bra strap but I was determined not to let him as I kicked him in the soft spot. (And yes snakes like him do have them).

His tongue slivered back into his mouth, leaving saliva on my neck which I wiped off while cautiously stepping back.

"You taste good,"

"What d-did you say?" I demanded, holding my hands in front of myself protectively.

"I said you taste good. I've never wanted a woman so bad,"

I tightened my bra strap fighting the tears.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I cried. "You're a monster!"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.

"Then why do you hang out with Hyuuga then?" he interrogated.

"B-Because," I stuttered. "HE IS A GOOD FRIEND! UNLIKE SONS OF BITCHES LIKE YOU!"

I covered my mouth knowing he'd be angry but he was amused.

"Do you know what he's done?" my suitor asked.

"Can't be worse than you," I retorted, wiping my tears from my eyes once more.

"You'd be surprised," Orochimaru said, reaching out once more.

"STOP!"

Third Person POV:

Neji Hyuuga walked around the mysterious building hidden deep in an alley.

It was dark. Very dark.

But Neji's eyes were very good. They were pure and could see through the dark.

Sakura unconsciously knowing, clung to Sasuke as they crept behind Hyuuga.

Temari ran her fingers over her knife as she walked through the house along with everyone.

Everybody was doing their own thing to chase away their fear.

No one was coming. But they were there. So what was going on.

* * *

It was about fifteen minutes until someone spoke . . . but not them.

"Hello," it was Kabuto.

Neji wrapped his fingers into a tight fist, preparing himself to beat the shit of the white haired freak.

"I'm sorry to say this but . . . I'm going to have to eliminate you." Kabuto announced.

"We're not going to let that happen," Tsunade grumbled. "Tell us where Tenten is. NOW!"

"Can't do that," Kabuto admitted

I narrowed my eyes and lunged, pushing him into a wall but he took out a knife and slashed at Neji.

Neji stepped back but he stopped at something.

A piercing scream that sliced the air. "HELP!"

Neji's eyes widened. "Tenten," he muttered. "Dammit we don't have enough time to deal with him,"

"Go," it was Sasuke.

"We'll take care of him," Sakura added.

Sasuke seemed reluctant about the pink joining him but didn't protest.

"You sure?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah," Sasuke muttered. "We can take him any day. Right Sakura?"

Through the dark she blushed. "Hell yeah."

"So GO!"

Neji and the rest darted through the darkness, evading Kabuto's stupid attempts to stop them.

They ran, panting, towards the screams until something stopped them.

A bone?

A man tossed aside a few dog bones.

"Don't go any farther." he said.

The man had white hair and some . . . face paint? It was definitely not as cool as Kiba's.

With Akamaru on his back Kiba raised his fist. "Who's dog bone is that?" He demanded.

The man looked at him. "You must be Kiba. I'm Kimmimaru."

"I don't give a damn." Kiba growled. "I'll beat the shit outta you,"

"Kiba you got him?" Ino asked.

"Yeah,"

"Someone go with him. Temari," Tsunade said.

"Fine by me. Let's go dogboy."

"Sure you guys can do it?" Shikmaru asked Temari more specifically.

"Yup."

"Let's go," Ino said.

"C'mon,"

We pushed past Kimmimaru who almost grabbed Shikamaru who was being to lazy to run.

It wasn't long before they were stopped again.

"T-T-T-Tayuya!" Ino exclaimed. "Why are you here?"

"I work for Orochimaru that's why," she said reluctantly holding up a flute. "You won't get by,"

"Ino," Shikamaru said.

"Yeah," She remarked.

"Guys go. We'll stay this time. We can't keep having all of these distractions," Shikamaru rationalized . . . now getting serious.

"Trust me Shikamaru can come up with a good battle plan. Now get out," Ino advised.

"Sorry," They all muttered and took off into the darkness once more.

Now it was only Neji, Tsunade, Karin, Suigetsu, Hinata and Naruto.

It was now five minutes of walking up stairs before they came to another enemy.

He was unknown and smirked.

The man had headphones in. He seemed not to be paying attention but was still grinning cockily . . . as he pulled out a scythe!

"Heh," Suigetsu remarked. "Check this out," he raised his own giant blade. "This guys is so mine."

"Get out of here already before one of you-"

"I'll stay behind," Karin butted in. "Everyone else go."

"Oh?" Suigetsu questioned smirking. "She's right now leave."

Hinata, Naruto, Neji and Tsunade tore off ahead, leaving the quarreling couple.

This place was like an undefined maze. There was no real right end to it. Especially in this dark.

Finally.

"Hello."

"Who the hell is that?" Naruto spat.

"Well who the fuck are you?"

"I would know that foul mouth from anywhere," Naruto muttered. "Hidan,"

"Oi, you remember you little punk,"

"Hell yes. This is my perfect chance for revenge,"

"If you can," Hidan challenged smirking.

"Go," Naruto said. "He's mine,"

"Ano, Naruto-Kun," Hinata didn't stutter. "I'm staying with you,"

"Heh?" Naruot questioned. "You shouldn't Hina-chan,"

"Yes I will. I'll fight anyone who hurt you,"

Naruto smirked. "Okay Hinata if that's how you want it, LET'S BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA HIM!

"C'mon," Tsunade said, dragging Neji out, who didn't trust Naruto alone with Hidan.

Neji and Tsunade sprinted faster because Tenten was screaming louder.

Then something exploded right in front of them.

BOOM!

Neji and Tsunade stepped back.

A handsome blonde man stepped forth.

"Tsunade, long time no see. How's your studio?"

"Deidara," Tsunade muttered. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question." The amused blonde replied.

He played with a hand grenade toyingly between his fingers.

"Neji, get out right now." Tsunade ordered. "This is dangerous,"

She took out her gun, and spun it expertly with her fingertips.

"Get out," she repeated, sternly.

Neji didn't want to leave her though. It took a shove to get him moving.

As he left he had to dodge a couple bombs just to get through.

Only he was left.

Tenten's POV:

I sobbed as I lay in the corner.

"Leave me alone," I pleaded. "Please,"

Orochimaru licked his lips. "Not for a while,"

He pushed himself on top of Tenten and cupped her face with his hands.

"Get over it bitch. You're mine now-"

"What the hell are you talking about?" A cold but calm voice interrupted, the door bursting open.

Blinking through my tears I tried to make out who it was.

"I'm the one you want, so just let her go and don't act like the disgusting pig you are,"

My eyes widened and my veins coarsed with excitement.

"Nej-Nej-Neji," I stuttered out of my mouth.

Neji narrowed his eyes, watching the position I was in. Orochimaru laying on top of my, reaching for my chest.

Neji now crinkled his nose and took of the blazer jacket of the tux, tossing it aside.

"You've really pissed me off,"

Orochimaru didn't move from on top of me but smiled. "I knew you'd come. How do you feel about me hittin on your girl,"

Neji's body shook with anger.

It almost seemed as if he was mad at me.

"I don't like it AT ALL!" My heart leaped. That was not the answer I was expecting.

Neji lunged, knocking him off me.

If he said that, does that mean he thought I was his girl? No way. He must've not been thinking about what he could've been implying when he said.

Orochimaru kicked Neji roughly in the stomach and threw him into the wall.

I gasped. "Neji!"

"Shut up!" Neji growled but it was too late.

Orochimaru turned to me. "My dear I almost forgot about you."

"Heh?" I asked, blinking away more tears.

Orochimaru forced himself on me again.

"STOP!" I shrieked. "STOP! STOP! STOP!"

I sobbed and sobbed. "I HATE YOU!"

Neji grabbed Orochimaru by the ear and chucked him on the ground.

They rolled around throwing punches at each other.

Orochimaru was now on top (does that sound wrong) and punched Neji harder and harder.

I clenched my fist, gathered up my courage, and slammed it into the back of his neck.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and turned to me once more. He slapped me hard across the face. It was extremely painful.

He then grabbed me by the hair and shoved into the ground so I hit my head.

Neji quickly picked me and shoved me behind him as Orochimaru tried to fight past him.

He grabbed both out necks and squeezed as he raised us above our feet.

"I've got you right where I want you Hyuuga," Orochimaru chuckled, tossing my aside.

I gagged on the ground harder and harder but saw Neji in a blur through my impaired eyes.

He was in trouble.

Gathering up courage, I snatched a bar I found and screamed, "NEJI!"

Neji snatched the bar and knocked Orochimaru into the wall once more, this time knocking him out.

My hands were shaking and my eyes wide with fear still swimming in them.

"Tenten," Neji approached me.

I was shaking on the ground.

I couldn't get up.

Neji seemed to understand. He knelt down in front of me. The without notice I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck. It took him a while but finally Neji accepted my hug and encircled his arms around my waist . . . protectively.

This time, I loved his touch and there was nothing else I wanted. I didn't care about the past and if I hated it then. Now it was nice.

"I'm sorry, Tenten," He said. "Someone like you . . . should've have to see," he paused. "The darkness of reality."

I still cried but stayed there.

Neji lifted me up. "Are you okay?" he asked.

I didn't respond. "Tenten," Neji spoke up. "What did he do to you,"

Finally I saw that he was eying my bra.

Neji didn't seem to mind though. Which is what I liked about him. He's the kind of guy you can trust to not do anything.

Finally he broke the long hug and picked up his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders.

"You're not cold?" he asked.

I shook my head sniffing.

Why the hell was he being so nice? Why? I mean he's acting as if we've been buddies forever. Like we're really close and he . . . cares.

This bothered me. I didn't know. That bothered me.

"Neji," I said, avoiding eye contact. "Did you care about what happened to me?"

Neji looked down and took a while to respond. "Yes,"

My heart leaped out of my chest.

We were quiet for a while now.

Something broke the moment though.

A chorus of screams.

"Tenten," Neji declared seriously. "Those are our friends. Are you in any condition to help me rescue them?"

I sniffed, wiped away my tears, and adjust my buns.

"Hell yeah!"
