Neji continuted down the street towards Tenten's house. He had come this way many times, when Tenten would sleep in. He turned the corner and saw her house up ahead. He was always drawn to it when he saw it in the distance. He didn't know why, but he felt more at home when he saw her house then he did when he saw his. He walked to the window and peaked in. He didn't want to just walk in. He spotted her sleeping on the coutch. Neji easily opened the door and walked right in. He stoo in front of the outch for several minutes, just watching her. Then finally he picked her up, and brought her into her room. He put her down gently on the bed, he couvered her with the blankets, and with one last gance at her, he walked out.

He walked down the street, unsure of where to go. He knew if he went home, Dawn would rugby tackle him. So he headed towards the training feild. He hadn't trained in a while, and dicided that he should.

Tenten opened her eyes when she heard her bedroom door close. She giggle to herself, as she turned over. Unfortunatly for Neji, she was a light sleeper. She sighed. The covers weren't as warm as he was. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

It was about 2 when Neji dicided to go home. He thought that vryone would be slleeping. Poor unsuspecting Neji. He silently opened the door and stepped inside. He took off his shoes and was just starting to walk back to his room, when a light flicked on. He froze, maybe just maybe if h stayed still, no one would see him.

"Hyuuga Neji!" Came Dawn's shreak. Neji accepted the fact he was caught.

"What?" He asked coldly.

"Where have you been? It's 2 in the morning for crying out loud." She screached.

"I was out." He said simply before heading down the hall towards his room. He wouldn't get away that easily. Dawn suddenly appeared in front of him. If Neji didn't know better, he'd say Dawn was a ninja.

"You cannot expect me to be married to a man who goes out and doesn't come home until 2 in the morning!" Yes, weddings off then? Nope. "From now your having a curfew, you have to be back in this house by 10:30" She stated.

"What am I? 6?" He walked by Dawn into his room he shut and locked the door before she could get in. "I am so going to kill her." He muttered as he crawled into bed.

The annoying sound of her alarm clock woke Tenten from her blissful sleep. She slammed down hard on the snooze button, and rolled back over. In ten minutes the alarm closk went off again. She cursed and rolled over more only to roll right out of bed. She lay on the floor, twisted in blankets. She didn't want to move.

'Neji will come and get me.' She thought. Before tunning out the sound of her alarm.

'GET UP NOW YOU HAVE TRAINING! WORK! WORK! WORK!' A voice yelled from the back of her mind.

"Leave me alone." She mummbled at both her mind and the alarm clock. Then a knock came at the door. She thought to ignore it until a voice came through on the other side.

"Tenten! Are you up?" It was Neji. Tenten sprang from her spot on the floor, and answered the door. Neji looked curiously at her. She wonderd why until she looked down. She was still in her pajama's, hr hair was messy, she was still twisted in her blanket.

'What? It' like 6 in the morning." She said casually.

"Tenten, it's noon" Sh glanced over at the clock.

"Ok, so I slept in a little." Sh admitted.

"Listen, Meet me at the ramen stand at 7, we're going on a date." With that he turned and left. Tenten simply stood there, her mind trying to process what he had said. But after a minute she jumped up.

"HYUUGA NEJI JUST ASKED ME OUT OF A DATE!" She jumped up and down screaming, until finally she reilised he could have heard her. She shut up immmeadeatly. For if Hyuuga Neji knew she like him,

all hell would freeze over.
