Author's Note: Well, this is something I just randomly thought up of, so don't blame me if it sucks! As for the pairings, the Naruto pairing is Neji+TenTen, and the Inuyasha pairings are the usual…Inuyasha+Kagome and Sango+Miroku.

Sorry, people like Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and the others will NOT make an appearance in this fic…Except for Neji and TenTen, who are the main characters of this plot. Also, in this fic, Neji and TenTen are both 15 years old, and Neji is an ANBU member and TenTen is a special jounin (you know, those people like Ibiki or Anko.). Of course, now that they are such high levels, they're obviously stronger, especially TenTen. Well, on with the fic!

Disclaimer: Duh, I don't own ANY Naruto OR Inuyasha characters!


Chapter 1: Into the Well

It was a bright, sunny afternoon. TenTen and Neji had just finished training, and were currently resting by the small stream next to their training spot. TenTen sighed as she relaxed on a large rock. Neji looked at her questioningly, and TenTen smiled. "Neji, it seems like even if I'm still around the same level as you, I still can't beat you…" she muttered, and Neji just smirked.

"Come on," he said, standing up. "Let's spar on the water." TenTen nodded, and focused chakra into her feet before stepping onto the clear surface of the water. Neji was standing in the middle of the stream, prepared to strike. In a flash, TenTen pulled out her prized kodachi and Neji took out a small but sharp dagger. TenTen slashed at Neji with no mercy, and Neji blocked her moves. They separated, and TenTen sheathed her kodachi and took out a scroll. She jumped up into the air, her scroll twisting up with her. As her hands tapped the many symbols on the scroll, a flurry of weapons came down upon Neji. Neji smirked and caught a kunai flying towards him, but realized his mistake once he saw the explosive tag attached to the handle of the kunai. He dropped it just in time as it exploded, causing the water to splash up into the air. However, TenTen wasn't done yet. The weapons still continued to shoot towards him with deadly aim, and Neji knew that he had to use his kaiten. He stood on a large rock as he spun around faster and faster. "Kaiten!" he said, and the weapons were flung back towards TenTen by his almost-unbreakable defense. TenTen just smiled. The weapons that had been shot back instantly turned into kage bunshins, and just as Neji stopped spinning, the many bunshins threw more weapons, and Neji was forced to retreat behind a tree. TenTen frowned. She hadn't counted on him to run away. 'Oh well…' she thought, standing up straight. 'I can always use the moves that father and Tsunade-sama taught me…' She jumped into a nearby tree to find out where Neji was hiding. She scanned the area, but couldn't detect him anywhere. 'As expected from Neji…He's good as always in hiding his chakra.' Suddenly, a few shuriken flew and embedded in a branch beside TenTen. TenTen jumped out of the tree when she saw the explosive tags on the shuriken, and smiled as she landed on the grass in front of Neji. "You copy-cat," she teased, chuckling. "You used the same move as me!" Neji just smirked and charged at TenTen with a katana in his hand. TenTen also sped towards him, with a pair of twin blades in her hands. Their swords clashed, the sound of grated steel filling the area. Their swords were flung out of their hands and landed a few feet away, but TenTen had the advantage because she still had one blade left. Neji blocked her swing with his kunai just in time, and jumped away, landing about five feet from where he originally was standing. They both breathed heavily, getting a little tired. They had nicks and a few bruises here and there, but neither of them cared because they knew that they would tend to their injuries later. "Shall we finish this, Neji?" TenTen asked, breathing hard.

"Yeah…let's get this over with soon." With that phrase, Neji took out a kunai and TenTen reacted quickly by throwing a couple of shuriken at him, which were easily blocked by Neji's kunai. But because he was preoccupied with the shuriken, he didn't notice that TenTen was right in front of him, and she was about to slam the ground with her fist, until a huge "BOOM" nearby the forest caused the ground to shake fiercely, throwing TenTen off balance and making Neji stumble. They both landed in a heap on the ground while the forest shook, making the birds fly out of the trees in panic and other wild animals run around in fear. When the earthquake subsided, TenTen opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a pair of pale-lavender eyes. Her face reddened, and she fought to keep herself from blushing madly as she realized that she was lying on top of Neji's body. "S…Sorry, Neji!" she exclaimed, and jumped off a slightly flustered Neji. He just shook his head while getting up, and looked around.

"What happened?" he muttered, and turned to TenTen.

"Let's go and check it out. If there's trouble, we'll handle it." He said, and hurried off into the forest with TenTen close behind him.

Neji and TenTen ran into another small clearing, with a giant crater in the middle. At the center of the crater was a wooden well, big enough for a fully-grown adult to fall in. Though the trees around the crater were destroyed, the wooden well didn't even have a scratch on it. "I wonder what happened here…" TenTen mumbled, and walked cautiously towards the well.

"Be careful TenTen…there might be something wrong with that well…" Neji warned, and activated his byakugan to look at the area. 'I don't see anything wrong…I just sense a large amount of chakra, and it's coming from…' he spun around at TenTen, who had just reached the well. "TenTen, watch out!" he yelled, and ran towards her as fast as he could. TenTen looked at him curiously, but her eyes widened in shock as a large beam of light erupted from the well, and the forest started to shake once more. TenTen grabbed onto the rim of the well for support, but the old wood of the well gave way and before TenTen knew what was happening, she was toppled head-first into the well. She shut her eyes, waiting for the fall, but it never came because she suddenly felt a strong hand grip her hand. She opened her eyes, and saw Neji. The forest was still rumbling, but he held her hand in a firm grip. "Neji…" she whispered, and a small smile crept onto her lips.

"TenTen, give me your other hand!" Neji said sternly, and TenTen knew that he couldn't hold on much longer. She raised her other hand, and their fingers strained to meet, but a huge lurch of the ground caused Neji to lose his balance and he also fell into the well. The two ninjas fell and fell, but for the whole time, their hands never let go.


Well, how was it? It'll get better soon, so please don't worry if it seems to suck right now! Tips or pieces of advice would be appreciated, and PLEASE REVIEW! Oh, and don't forget to try reading by other fics! Until next time!

Preview of the next chapter: The Meeting:

"Who are you people?" TenTen asked, looking at their VERY old-fashioned outfits and the seemingly-modern girl. She glanced at Neji, who was still unconscious. "Don't worry, we're not bad people. We just found you two in the middle of nowhere!" the black-haired girl explained, but TenTen still didn't know whether to trust them or not. TenTen noticed that the necklace around the girl's neck had strong chakra within it. 'The chakra is probably coming from those pink shards attached to the necklace…What is it?' she thought, and opened her mouth to speak, but a slight grunt beside her stopped her.
