Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

This chapter will be the start of the Neji Tenten romance...Don't worry the whole thing with Anko is just to boost the entire Neji x Tenten relationship and all. Now on with the story!


Chapter 2: The Hyuuga's first love.

"Itai! That hurts..." A drunken Anko said rubbing her butt after she fell.

"...Gomen. I wasn't looking out where I was walking...And normally no one else walks this small road." Neji said as he quickly got back up from being knocked down.

"Don't worry about it..." Anko said as she was still rubbing her butt.

Neji sticked out his hand towards Anko.

Anko looked with her drunken face at the Hyuuga and then grabbed his hand.

Neji pulled the drunken Anko up, but he pulled a bit too hard.

Thus his face landed straight between certain body parts of Anko's and because he pulled so hard that they fell down again.

This time Anko landed on top of Neji.

Anko slowly crawled off Neji and sat down on her knees.

For the first time in his entire life, Neji had a blush on his face.

Anko started laughing like crazy and Neji just stared bewildered at her.

"Well then...Take care." Anko said with a smile as she went off.

Neji stood up and stared at Anko who was walking away.

He then turned around and started walking towards the training grounds.

After Jiraiya had seen this entire scene he continued on to his hermit shelter.

"Hehe…Looks like some good inspiration sources are flourishing in Konoha." Jiraiya said to himself with a grin on his face.

Meanwhile Neji arrived kind of late at the training grounds.

While ignoring Lee's and Gai's speeches about not being late, he headed towards Tenten.

"Tenten." Neji said still staring at the sky.

"Huh? What is it Neji?" Tenten said surprised since she didn't expect for Neji to ask her something.

"I need to talk to you….after training. It's important." Neji said in a calm voice.

There was a sudden silence then between all of them.

"What's the matter? Is it that odd for me to say that I want to talk to someone?" Neji asked.

His team-mates and sensei just gasped in amazement.

"...You guys are annoying...Let's train." Neji said with an annoyed look on his face.

During the training Neji's attention was obviously else where since Lee was able to hit him head on.

Lee was still cheering about he punched Neji down after Neji got back to his feet and was standing in front of him.

"...Sensei...I assume that will be all for today's training?" Neji asked.

"Uhm... yeah. I guess so. Come Lee, let's celebrate the fact that Neji fell down to one of your attacks for once!" Gai said with his nice guy pose smile.

"Yes sir!" Lee said as he followed his sensei.

"Neji, you really must have your mind somewhere else if Lee is able to hit you like that." Tenten said.

"Yeah I guess so...Can we talk now?" Neji asked.

Tenten said down on a rock that was nearby and rested her head on her hands.

"I assume that means yes..." Neji said as he sat down and Tenten nodded.

"Well start talking I'd say." Tenten said as she was interested in what Neji had to tell her.

"Tenten...I...like someone...a girl...well...she's really mature in every way so I guess you could call her a woman." Neji started and Tenten's eyes widened.

"I don't really know her that well...I never asked her anything before or really uhm...noticed her up untill today." Neji continued.

Tenten was now even more interested in Neji's story then before.

"The truth is Tenten...I...I like..." Neji stuttered.

"Neji! You don't have anymore to say my sweety!" Tenten interupted Neji and threw herself into his arms.

"Tenten..." Neji said, who was shocked by Tenten's reaction.

Totally bewildered, Neji just put his hands on her back and still was confused about Tenten's reaction.

"I liked you for such a long time! I thought you'd never notice or would like me but now you do! I'm happy! I'm so happy!" Tenten said as she burried her face in Neji's chest and wrapped her arms around Neji.

"Uhm Tenten..." Neji said as he blinked a couple of times.

Tenten then started crying and Neji didn't really know what to do besides to comfort her a bit.

Neji decided that he shouldn't tell Tenten right now that he had a crush on Anko.

However now he needed to find help else where and he decided it wouldn't be wise to tell another girl.

Also he decided that even if no one else can't help him he would never and absolutely NEVER ask Lee for help with getting a girl.

Neji couldn't immagine what Lee would make him go trough.

But for now Neji had to try and make Tenten stop crying so he decided to do what his instincts told him to do.

So he gently stroke Tenten as she slowly fell asleep on his lap.

When Tenten was asleep he picked her up and decided to carry her back home, shinobi style.

He was able to get in to Tenten's house unnoticed.

Neji was surprised to find out that her parents weren't home at all.

Neji layed Tenten down on her bed and put a blanket on her.

He found that she looked really peaceful when she was asleep.

Before leaving he stroke her face one more time, however as he did Tenten grabbed his hand and didn't let go.

"...I guess she really likes me. Oh well...I'd better try to leave quietly and let her rest." Neji softly said to himself as he tried to get his hand back.

He then silently left and headed back to the Hyuuga mansion.

Meanwhile Jiraiya had typed the events that happened between Kakashi and Tsunade and why it happened.

He then headed outside out of his Hermit shelter and back in to Konoha to hopefully find more 'information'.

Jiraiya still found it weird that Tsunade would actually do something like that, but he quickly shrugged the thoughts of and figured even she had need for entertainment from time to time.
