Neji bolted towards the scream, he had to get there. If that scream was Tenten, if something happened to her, Neji shudderd at the thought. Finally he made it. He was not surpriesed when he saw Anbu sourounding Tenten who had a deep slash on her arm and 6 shuriken sticking out of her leg.

"Neji! Thank god your here." She said, he couldn't help but notice a slught casualty in her voice.

"Tenten, what happened?" Neji asked, the Anbu were slightly lost, they were after all in a fight. She pouted and sank to the ground.

"These mean men are beating me up." She said, Neji notd they were outnumberd six to one.

"Are they now?" Neji cracked his knuckles and activated the byakugan. "Well we'll just have to teach them a lesson." A few Anbu were scared, Neji could tell by their body launage. But none the less, they attacked. Their main target after all was Neji. Neji dodged easily, and got close enough to use the gentle fist on a few of the enimes, sending them to the ground in a heap. The rest looked rather shaken, and took off without question Neji laughed.

"That is what I call power." He moved over to Tenten who was pulling shuriken out of er leg.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW Neji careful!" Tenten screamed when he pulled a huriken out carelessly.

"Gomen." He said sitting down. "Have any bandages?"

"What do I look like? Sakura?" He looked back down at her wounds.

"Well, if you let your hair down, cut it, died it pink, wore a dress, then yeah maybe." She smacked him over the head.

"That question didn't need an answer." She said while standing up.

"No matter, it's only a little," She fumbld and fell over right into Neji. "Gomen." She said pulling herself up and leaning against a tree. Neji sighed as she started to walk away. With a quick slice of his foot, he knocked Tenten off her feet and caught her bridal style before she could fall.

"Your going to hurt yourself." Neji put her down on the ground, Tenten was blushing to her eyes. He ipped his shirt, making bandages for Tenten and wrapping it around her wounds.

"You have gentle hands." She murmerd before she knew what she was saying.

"That's where the term 'gentle fist' comes from." Before Tenten could stop herself, she leaned up and kissed him. He was shocked at first but relaxed and closed his eyes. His mind tolf him to pull away, but his body couldn't move, he was entraced with her. Finally it broke, Neji opened his eyes and loked at her.

"Gomen I...uh..." Never had he seen Tenten so shy, it reminded him of Hinata.

"Thats ok." He lifted her onto his shoulders and started off looking for a place to rest. The silence was entrancing, they both had a bunch to say, but neither could find the words to match it. So Tenten simply leaned against his back and closed her eyes.

"Thanks Neji-kun." He smild and glanced at her over his shoulder.

"Don't mention it.
