Aftermath

The party was loud, and Hinata was starting to get a little overwhelmed with the amount of people. Her cousin was nowhere to be found, and even though she had enjoyed the party so far, she was feeling a little lightheaded and thought it was the best for her to go back. Going through drunk people, she felt someone tap her shoulder.

"Hina-chan!" Naruto greeted her, his face red and breath recking of booze, "Is everything awight?" He asked with his blue eyes staring at her, a smile in his lips. Hinata fidgeted for a little.

"Y-yes, I was l-looking for nii-san, to go back" She said less shyly than usually, probably due to the alcohol she consumed from the punch. Naruto stared at her for a while, processing her words.

"You wanna back awedy?" He was obviously drunk. The shy girl only nodded, cheeks red from both alcohol and embarrassment. "Welp, if Neji isn't around, I'll walk you back!" He offered, grinning widely. Hinata's blush deepened even more.

"D-don't worry, I don't want to make y-you go back so early, N-Naruto-kun" She looked at her fidgeting hands, feeling even more lightheaded. Naruto laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm drunk enough aweady" He told her, taking her hand and dragging the poor girl out of the frat house. "Lets go!"

"N-N-Naruto-kun! That's the wrong way!" She managed to say after recovering from the shock that Naruto was holding her hand. How she did not faint was a mystery, but she was glad that she was holding her own.

"Really?" Naruto blinked at her, then started to drag her to the other way around. Hinata sighed, at least they were going the right way.

They walked in silence for a while, the only sound was the humming that came from Naruto. Glancing to the skies, Hinata thanked for the weather they always had in this city, it was always so nice. The sky was full of stars and clear from clouds, and if it weren't for the city lights, much more stars would be visible. A wind blew pass them, and she shivered a little.

"Are ya cold?" Naruto asked when he felt her shiver, and just then that Hinata remembered that their hands were still together. Blushing madly, she nodded. "Here, take my jacket" Naruto striped from his jacket, putting it on the girls shoulders.

"W-what ab-bout you?" She squeaked, overwhelmed by the jackets perfume and warmness. Naruto shrugged.

"I'm not cold" He smiled at her, grabbing her hand again to keep dragging her to school. After some more time, they finally reached school grounds, and Naruto was yet to release the shy girl's hand. "C'mon, I'll walk ya to yer room" He told her. Hinata didn't have time to reply before the energetic blonde started to walk again, making her follow him. Hinata was on the verge of fainting, it was too much contact for such long period of time, not to mention that Naruto's jacked was intoxicating her with his scent. After some more torturing minutes, Naruto stopped in front of her dorm.

"Its here right?"

"Y-yes, t-thank you N-Naruto-kun" She thanked him, her blush now more under control. As much as it was making her nervous, it was so nice all that happened.

"No biggies" He grinned at her, lifting her hand to hold with his both hands, "For you anything! I like ya a lot Hina-chan" He told her, and Hinata felt like she was in heaven, even though she had just fainted.

…..

"Ino-pig, please tell me that you are not leaving me alone" Sakura pleaded when she saw that her friend was about to leave with Sai, or rather drag Sai to a corner to lip smash. Ino rolled her eyes at her.

"If I don't leave you alone you will never have a chance to talk with you know who" Ino told her, making her pout. Sakura and Sasuke were in good terms, they talked a lot more, and he indeed started to participate more in their chats, not leaving her to do all the talking like old times. But the thing is, they did just that, chatted. Sure, she suspected that he was liking her, but she didn't want to have high hopes on that.

Now, being alone with him was ok, she had no problem with that, but they were in a party, partially drunk, and the lighting in the house was low. The loud music didn't help. She knew that he was observing them, after Naruto left with Hinata, Neji and Tenshi disappeared, Shino surprisingly was making out with some girl in a dark corner, Shikamaru and Kiba passed out from booze, well, Shikamaru was just sleeping, and Lee and Choji having an eating contest, it was just her, Ino and Sai sane enough for him to be around. if the last two left, it would be just her. Before she could tell something again to Ino, the blond was already nowhere to be seen, just like Sai. She groaned.

"Sakura" She heard Sasuke call her by her side, jumping in surprise. He and Neji had an ability to appear behind people that needed to be researched.

"S-Sasuke-kun!" She yelped, turning to face him. He wasn't looking at her, his eyes were scanning their surroundings. He said something, but his voice was usually low, and with the loud music she couldn't hear a thing. Making a face, he rolled his eyes, bending so that his mouth was inches away from her ear. She blushed.

"I said, lets go to a quieter place. I hate crowded places" His hot breath made wonders in her belly, and she just nodded without thinking twice. Grabbing her hand, Sasuke lead them to a seclude corner in the room, where the music wasn't so loud and there weren't many people. "Much better" he muttered.

"Why did you come if you don't like crowded spaces and loud music?" She heard herself ask before she could stop herself. He looked slightly uncomfortable for a moment before replying.

"Same reason as Hyuga"

"To celebrate victory?" He nodded. Sakura hummed, looking around, unsure of what to talk about.

"Are you enjoying the party?" He asked suddenly, taking the initiative to start a chat. She chanced him a small smile.

"Yeah, I'm just hurt that Ino left me to lip smash Sai. I mean, they are a thing and can do that whenever, so I hoped that she would spend time with his best friend instead" She rambled a little, courtesy of the alcohol. Sasuke chuckled, the sound making her head feel hot.

"I guess that after some drinks one would want to kiss the special other" He commented, his onyx eyes staring at her. She gulped, feeling more tension than ever.

"I guess you're right" She said with a low voice, heart beating faster.

"So" he started. She stared at him now, making him avert his gaze.

"So?" Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

"So" He gave her a determined look, making her knees feel like jelly, "You want to… lip smash?" She would have laughed at his choice from words if she weren't already throwing herself at him, doing exactly what he just suggested.

…..

Lee was extremely careful to not drink alcohol, just getting tap water to help down the food he was consuming along side Choji. In the end, he lost, no big surprises there, he just wanted to compete in something with someone. What surprised him, however, was seeing Sakura and Sasuke together, in a dark corner, making out.

Feeling heartbroken, he decided to do what every heartbroken person did. Drown his sadness in booze. Just a gulp from a beer made him lose consciousness.

Meanwhile Lee was unconscious, his body wasn't. Starting to create a havoc, Lee flipped a table, making a loud crash noise and some girls, and boys, to scream. Soon enough Neji arrived, with a 'you just got to be kidding me look' splattered in his face. Alongside Neji, Kanji and Shikamaru held him down, making his body fall unconscious too. Shikamaru didn't want to help at first, but as he wasn't drunk and Lee was stalking dangerously to where he was sleeping, he didn't have much of a choice.

When Lee woke up, he was impressed in seeing that apparently a hurricane passed through the frat house, earning a punch on the head by Deidara, Ino's cousin, who for some reason blamed him, and made him help clean up.

…..

Tenten fled from the party, mortified and confused. Mortified because she just kissed her freaking captain, who she had a crush. It may have been a wet dream of anyone, but she couldn't kiss him, it was like shooting her own feet. Confused because the man kissed her like there was no tomorrow as well, so she was taken aback.

She knew that he didn't know that she was a woman, and he kissed her like he wanted to do it for some time. That made him gay? If yes, would he be mad at her when he discovered that she was a woman? Well, gay or not, she was sure he would get mad. Heck, he was probably mad right now, after finding out that she managed to flee while Lee created a big confusion.

Almost running, she made it to school, speeding into her room. She needed a shower, a cold one. Their little make up session made her be a little too excited. She was thankful that her bruise on the stomach healed almost all already, or it would have hurt a little, with those strong arms pulling her closer to his toned chest, the wall, his hands slipping under her sweater and resting on her hips…

Tenten shook her head, she didn't need those thoughts right now, what she needed was a cold shower, fast. Wasting no more time, she went for one, hoping to ease her hormones and then fall in a good night of sleep. The shower did neither.

Now, lying wide awake in her bed, she felt her phone buzz. It was Neji, asking for her and if she was alright. Biting her lower lip, she decided against answering him, rolling to the other side and shutting her eyes closed. She would sleep rather she wanted or not.

At some point sleep did come, but when she woke up, she was met with an unpleasant surprise. Her period just came. Again.

"How much bad luck can someone have?" She asked to herself, while rushing to the bathroom.

…

Neji didn't sleep at all. He was pissed enough with Lee, leaving him alone to clean the mess he made in Deidara's house, going back alone and grumpy to his dorm. He had tried sending a message and calling Tenshi when he made it back, but he was met with no reply. Sighing again, he went for another cold shower, probably the third one since he was back. After the shower was done, he saw that Lee was finally back.

"Neji-kun! Good morning!" Lee cheered, Neji blinked. Was it morning already?

"Morning" He replied grumpily, still angry at lee for interrupting him and Tenshi the night before. Sitting on his bed, he sighed again.

"What's wrong?" Lee asked, sensing his bad mood. Neji gave him an annoyed look.

"You drank alcohol last night" It wasn't a total lie.

"Ahh, I see. Sorry about that" Lee gave him an apologetic smile. Neji just shrugged.

"Lee… Do you know which room Tenshi is?" He asked finally. If the boy didn't want to reply to him by the phone, he was going to see him then. And apologize, a lot. Lee looked at him suspiciously.

"Why?"

"I want to have that goddamn talk, without interruptions" He told him honestly, he really did want that. Lee considered him for a moment before giving him a bright smile.

"That's so youthful! Its room S10" Neji blinked, Tenshi had a solo room?

"10 as from 'Ten'shi?" He asked out loud, making Lee snort.

"I guess creativity isn't the strong suit around here" Neji chuckled, getting on his feet.

"Thanks Lee" He forgave Lee from yesterday in his mind, as now he had more things to occupy his mind than to have a grudge with him.

Walking with long strides and determination, Neji made his way towards Tenshi's room. When he reached said room, nervousness started to take over. What if Tenshi didn't want to see him, what if he hurt him a lot, why did he run away…

Just go in already

I'm going, I'm going

Knocking softly, he heard no reply. Knocking again, a little louder, still he had no answer. In fear that something might have happened to the boy, he tried opening the door. It was unlocked fortunately, and Neji made a mental note to tell Tenshi to always leave his door locked. If his fan girls knew about that, he would have a lot of trouble.

Opening the door just enough for him to enter, he went in, carefully closing the door behind him. The room was dark, but his eyes adjusted to the low lighting soon enough. He managed to make a figure lying on bed, apparently in fetal position. Worried, Neji got closer, not too close though, as to be careful.

"Tenshi?"

…

Tenten surely had pissed in some holy relic in her last life. If not, then why the heck was freaking Neji fucking Hyuga doing in her room? She had enough already with the cramps, making her rush to the bathroom here and there, and now, the same person she didn't want to face anytime soon just appeared in her room.

"Tenshi, are you alright?" Shit, she needed to answer him before he tried to see if she was alive. She was glad that her room was dark, this way he wouldn't be able to see much of her. Or at least she hoped. After all, his vision was freaking perfect. She limited herself to grunt as an answer, and she heard him sigh in relief.

"About yesterday…" Oh well, here it comes, "I'm sorry, I took advantage of you…" Huh? Did he think she was drunk?

"I wasn't drunk" She said frowning, indignant that he thought that she would be drunk with only a few beers. She slapped herself mentally after that, it was a perfect cover that she just blew out.

"You weren't?" He asked in disbelief. She just grunted. A long silence came after that, and she prayed that he would just leave, because she could feel the need to rush to the bathroom coming back. "Then you wanted to kiss me too?" He suddenly asked and she grunted, not realizing that her grunt could be interpreted as a yes. Not that she would have answered otherwise.

"Well…" She cleared her throat, cramps making her flinch in pain. And of course, he saw that.

"Are you ok?" She wanted to say yes, but another stab came into her uterus, and she winced even more. She could hear him get agitated and walking around the room. Her heart started to race, praying that he was about to leave, even though she knew he wouldn't do that. He was too damn nice to her to leave her alone in pain. Well, when he did find out she was a woman he might do that though.

Soon enough, lights went on, and she cursed, covering herself with her blanket, both to shield herself from the sudden light an to hide herself from the man in her room. Said man was getting closer to her right now. In a swift movement, he snatched the blanket from her, eyes scanning for any sign of harm. She panicked, her eyes wide at him. It didn't take him long for realization to hit him.

"Tenshi… Wha" He paused, if she wasn't mortified she would laugh at his shocked expression, she could even imagine the gears running in his head, "Why do you have boobies and are looking like a woman?" She snorted, his choice of words being too funny. Then she became mortified again.

"I, well…" She didn't even try to hide her voice anymore, she was busted after all. Before she could form any explanation, a sudden urge to go to the bathroom came over, "Bathroom, cramps, sorry" She said quickly, pushing past him and rushing towards the bathroom.

Tenten spent a good while in there. It eased her pain and also gave her time to calm down, even by a little. She knew she was fucked, there was no escaping that. Deciding to just end her suffering right away, she exited the bathroom, only to find Neji nowhere to be seen. Well, that stung more than him discovering her, he did abaddon her when he found out. Now defeated and heartbroken, she called someone she would always call when sad.

"Hey there handsome! Oh, you look awful" Tenshi said, giving her a sympathetic smile. She smiled weakly at him.

"Tenshi… I'm screwed… I think I'll bail out…" She told him, hot pain tears tracing her face, both because of Neji and her killing cramps. Drying them with the back of her hand, she explained to her brother all that happened in the last 24 hours.

…

Neji was confused, a lot of emotions going through him at the same time. He was angry that Tenshi lied to him about his genre, confused because he didn't know why, and happy too?

That was unexpected

It was

But you should have seen it coming

Huh?

His inner was right, he should have figured it out sooner. The way the Tenshi would look more feminine after practice, how his voice would crack whenever he was too nervous, his blushes around him, and a little thing, or rather lack of something, that he felt while making out with him. Her. Heck, he was confused. Walking aimlessly, Neji bumped into a wall.

"Captain!" A talking wall. Looking up to meet with the person he bumped, he saw that it was Kanji.

"Sorry" Neji was about to walk away, when he remembered something. "Tatsumi, can you talk right now?" He was losing his mind for wanting advice from a freshman, but Kanji and him had something in common right now.

"Me? Sure!" Kanji looked confused but agreed without a problem. Looking around them, Neji motioned for the blonde to follow him. He wanted a secure place to talk about this. When he finally found one, he turned to Kanji.

"I'm aware of your little crush on Shirogane" He started, making Kanji blush madly, "Did you always had a crush on her? Even when she dressed and looked like a boy?" He went straight to the point. If the freshman was going to think odd things about him anyway, then the least time consumed the better.

"Uh" Kanji seemed a little uncomfortable, and Neji couldn't help but be sympathetic. "Since the first time I saw her, yeah…" Neji rose his eyebrows in surprise. So they did have the same problem.

"How did you feel when you found out she was a woman?" Kanji thought about it for a while.

"Well, I didn't think of it as a big thing. I mean, sure, I was embarrassed to admit that I liked her even when she was supposedly a man, but we like people for who them are right? Sure, looks helps and all, but when do we like someone, does it matter the genre? And being honest, I was much relieved when I found out she was a woman…" He tried to explain, and Neji felt dumb. He was supposed to be a genius and yet, a freshman, knew better about life than him.

"I see, thanks…" He thanked him, bowing slightly while starting to walk away.

"Is this about Tenshi?" Kanji asked suddenly, and Neji looked at him shocked. This guy was sharper than he looked. "I kind of had a feeling, after experiencing everything with Naoto and so" He explained, and Neji sighed.

"Keep it a secret" He ordered, glaring at the tall boy.

"You got it man!" Kanji grinned at him, walking away as well. Neji sighed again, thinking about how he just left Tenshi's room, probably hurting hi-her. She mentioned something about cramps, so he, she, was having her period. He could work with that.

…

After some time, Neji found himself in front the Tenshi's room again, his nerves even worse than before. He needed to apologize even more after all. Without knocking, he went inside the room, and found darkness again. In silent movements, he strolled closer to the body lying in the bed, and he saw that the girl was sleeping, her eyes puffy. A wave of guilty washed over him, sure that he was the reason that she cried. Contemplating her a little more, he didn't believe he was so dumb to believe that this beautiful woman was a man in the first place. Her sleeping features screamed femininity, and he knew that he could stare for eternity at her like this.

Feeling like a creepy stalker, he shook his head, remembering why he came back in first place. Turning on a lamp on her nightstand, he poked the girls shoulder. Her eyes snaped awake immediately, and she stared at him like he was an abomination.

"N-Neji!" She shrieked, trying to be as far away from him as her bed would let her. He stared at her, nervousness eating him alive, and his brain went dead. He rose the plastic bag he had in his hand in hopes that it would ease her. Her eyes darted between him and the bag.

"I…" He cleared his throat, thinking on what words he should use, "I went to get you some medicine… and cake… Girls crave sweet when on those days, right?" He asked awkwardly, staring at the bag instead of her. For his delightful surprise, she laughed.

"Your way with words always surprises me, Hyuga" She said, laughing hard, then flinching in pain. He panicked.

"Are you alright?" She gave him a funny look.

"You ask me this all the time" She didn't sound annoyed with it though.

"I worry about you" He said it quickly, making her blush. Neji smirked, liking that he still had some power here. "Anyway… I'm sorry for leaving…"

"Huh?" She was about to question him, but he raised a finger. It was his turn to talk, she would have hers later.

"I admit that I was confused upon discovering your gender. I have a vague idea to why you decided to conceal it though. I also admit that I was attracted to you, and still am, girl or boy. Of course, I was confused with all these feelings. As you are aware, I'm not good with dealing with people and emotions, so, I chose to just content myself with being close to you. Last night however, I lost control, and I apologize if that hurt you. And to be frank, I am relieved that you are a woman, nothing wrong if you were a man, but things are… easier I guess…" He finished, not looking at her. He could feel his cheeks burning.

"You're not mad at me?" She asked, and his eyes snaped at her.

"At first, I admit that I was, for you not telling me. But soon I realized why… Volleyball right?" He wasn't going to lie to her.

"Yes" She gave him a sheepishly smile, becoming serious right after. "Are you going to rat me out?" She asked, worried.

"No, of course not" He told her. He knew that that would hurt her, and hurting her was the last thing he wanted to do to her. "I would never do something like that to you" he ignored the fact that he was probably looking like a tomato right now.

"Really?" When he nodded, she jumped on him, hugging him tightly. Hew attire wasn't thick, so he could feel her, ahem, curves rather well. He understood now how Hinata felt when Naruto was too close, as he was almost fainting at the moment. Sensing him tense, the woman let him go muttering an apology.

"Anyway" He cleared his throat, trying to recompose himself, "Would I have the pleasure of knowing your name? Because I'm sure that it isn't Tenshi" She gave him an awkward smile.

"Tenshi is my brother, I'm Tenten" What a heavenly name, he thought.

"Tenten" He tried saying it, liking the way she blushed when he did it.

"Yeah" she gave him a shy smile, and he had to control himself to not repeat what he did yesterday. She was striking beautiful, with her hair down, the pink on her cheeks and her angelic grey eyes.

We hit jackpot

More than that!

"Neji?" She asked, bringing him back to reality, "You were staring" well shit.

"Well, its that… You are beautiful" He confessed, not sure if his face could feel even hotter. She also blushed madly, and he saw her inching a little closer to him. He wasn't going to be a fool to not inch closer too.

"Ah, thank you… You too are quite handsome" She said, biting her lower lip, maddening him. If he could barely resist her when she was dressed like a man, how could he resist her now?

Bending down, he captured her lips on his. Unlike yesterday, where the kiss was hungry and rushed, today it was soft and calm. Placing the bag on her nightstand, he used his now free hand to caress her cheek, while the other rested on her hip, bringing her closer. She also caressed his cheek with one hand, while the other rested on his shoulder. After a while, the kiss started to deepen, and he got hungry for more. Biting her lower lip, he could hear a muffled chuckle from her, but she gave him access anyway. Today, however, their tongues wrestled for dominance. He smirked when his won.

The kiss getting more passionate, they ended up laying on her bed, he on top of her, while making out. He could feel that his pants were getting a little too tight from the arousal and pleasure he was feeling. Tracing kisses down her jaw and neck, nibbling here and there, he heard her moan and tug his hair, increasing his arousal.

"Neji" she moaned, making him lower his kisses to her collar bone. "Neji!" She pulled his head up by his hair. He blinked at her. "We cant right now…" She looked embarrassed, and soon he remembered something. Right, he would have to behave.

"Ah, right" He cleared his throat, "Can I at least stay here?" He asked, not wanting to leave.

"Of course! Always" The smile she gave him made him feel blessed.

We are one lucky bastard!
