A/N: Yo! A new chap for ya all to enjoy Thanks again 4 t3h reviews
KatonKageNaruto: Lol the whole ShikaIno thing is just because I won't bring Temari and Shika together YET...As you'll see in this chapter, it isn't REALLY special what Shika and Ino have going on...Let's just say it's cuz ofthe other call of nature XD But yeah I like ShikaTem over ShikaIno as well and NaruTem is also cool(My fav story on this site atm is NaruTem fic and it seriously kicks ass ) After a few more chapters we'll most likely have ShikaTem stuff...Heck with al lthe plans I have right now this is gonna be one hella long fic Oo...
No 1 You Know: After this chapter...Anything is possible with Anko, my friend XD...So if people would like to see Anko hook up with random people...or less random people...Just say so
And on that note, If anyone likes to see a couple in this story(Non Yaoi please...Seriously this IS Icha Icha Paradise after all XP...) that isn't yet in it and could be possible without breaking up NejiTen and HinaNaruAyame(with that I mean things that would cause trouble for them f'sure XP) then let me know and I'll see if we can have like a chap devoted to that couple or something.
Any way, On with the story ! Enjoy it, cause I don't think I'll post a new chapter tomorrow, maybe sunday but it depends on wether I can hurry up with the chapters.
Chapter 10: Neji's Choice
"I don't want you to!" Tenten yelled.
"Listen Tenten, I'm still going to the party with you tomorrow. Only I need to go out tonight with a client. It business, so why are you getting worked up like this?" Neji asked.
"Because what if you like her better!" Tenten yelled as she turned around.
"She's right...This was one of the reasons I wanted to start that dating service with Naruto. Never thought Tenten would take it so serious...I can't really leave her like this, can I?" Neji thought and let out a sigh.
"Why would I like her better then you?" Neji asked, hoping that Tenten would be straight forward to him.
"Even though I dont like to admit it, She stronger way then me, Has biggercurves then me, Wears more challenging outfits then me..." Tenten shouted.
"Hmmm that might be true." Neji said.
Tenten turned around and looked at Neji with tears in her eyes, thinking that Neji would leave her because she is so jealous.
"But you know what..." Neji said and wrapped his arms around Tenten. Tenten closed her eyes and started to shiver, preparing for the worst.
"I bet she will never be as sweet as you are." Neji whispered in her ear and then kissed her on her cheek. Tenten looked up at him with wide eyes as he entered his bathroom.
"Now you just stand there for a few moments while I'll change clothes...Else I might actually do a lot more tonight." Neji said before closing his bathroom door. A couple of moments later Neji stepped out of his bathroom and found her in the exact same position as he had left her.
"Hey Tenten, what's wrong?" Neji asked worried as he walked up to Tenten.
"You said that I should stand here untill you were done or else you'd go and do things with that women..." Tenten said in a soft and sad tone. Neji sighed and held Tenten close to him.
"Crazy Tenten...That was just so that you'd stay in my room, so that I could kiss you good-bye and say that I really love you. You could have moved from this spot, you know." Neji whispered in her ear as in stroke her back.
"Tenten, please don't worry about me doing things to her. I love you." Neji then said and kissed her. He then left her alone and headed out to meet up with his date. Meanwhile Tenten still stood on the same spot as a few moments ago.
"Neji...I'm sorry...I'll make it up to you...I'll get you a gift like you got me one..." Tenten said as she pulled out the short blade Neji had given her and with that Tenten left Neji's room as well to search for a gift for him.
"Damn...This will be annoying...I had an instant crush on her when I first met her...but then Tenten came along and now I love her...And I don't know what inpact going out with Anko will have on me..." Neji thought as he walked towards Anko's house. He was a bit nervous as his date didn't know who she would be dating. Neji rang the door bell and a minute later Anko opened up.
"Good afternoon Miss Anko. I'm Hyuuga Neji, your date as you requested." Neji said and bowed. Anko looked down at Neji and then started to laugh.
"Can I ask what's so funny?" Neji asked a bit annoyed.
"What's funny you ask? I thought I would have a decent guy that was atleast Jounin level and able to handle someone like me. Not a Genin that is about 7 years or so younger then me." Anko said as she still laughed.
"What was that..." Neji said annoyed.
"Sorry boy...But I want someone who can handle me and I don't think you would even last 2 minutes if we would fight.You can keep the money I paid." Anko said and was about to close her door. Neji however sticked his foot in and didn't let the door get shut.
"So let me get this straight...If beat you in combat you'll go out on a date?" Neji asked annoyed.
"You want to go out with me that badly, huh?" Anko said as she gave a look at Neji.
"No, I just won't be put of like some weak Genin. So therefor I'll show you my skill as a shinobi and beat you so that you go out with me." Neji said pissed off.
"Haha...I would go out with you if you lasted 5 minutes in a one on one fight with me. If you'd beat me...well...then I'd do anything for you." Anko said with a naughty look on her face as she said the last part.
"Fine then." Neji said as he pulled Anko off to the training grounds where his team usually trained.
"Alright then Hyuuga-kun. These are the rules. There is a time limit of 5 minutes. If you are still standing after those 5 minutes, I'll get my finest clothes and go out with you. If you beat me down in those 5 minutes I'll do anything for you for ehm...an entire week! Agreed?" Anko asked.
"Yeah but hold on for one second...We need to wait until my sensei and teammate get here so they can keep count of the time." Neji said and just as he finished his line, Lee and Gai arrived.
"Yo Neji! What are you doing here with Anko-san?" Gai said as he struck his nice guy pose.
"We're going to have a little showdown and I need you two to be the judge and record the time. Once 5 minutes have passed by the match is over if not earlier. Ow and please don't interfere..." Neji comanded.
"Alright then Neji! Show her your springtime of youth! Right, Lee!" Gai said.
"Ossu!" Lee replied.
"Both of you are ready!" Gai asked and both Anko and Neji nodded.
"Then let's begin!" Gai yelled and Anko instantly threw three kunai's at Neji.
"Too naive..." Neji said as he easily dodged the kunai's. Neji then charged towards her. Anko quickly dodged Neji's Jyuuken attacks and jumped back.
"Well it looks like you are able to do some damage IF you would hit me." Anko said.
"Who says I won't hit you!" Neji shouted as he rushed forward again.
"Gai-sensei, why do you think those two are fighting anyway!" Lee said as he watched the battle with excitement.
"I don't know, my adorable student! Maybe Neji finally lost it and thinks he's able to defeat a Jounin!" Gai stated.
"Or what if they are fighting because Anko-san insulted Tenten and now Neji is fighting her in order to protect Tenten's name!" Lee said.
"Ow! Your sharper then ever my adorable student!" Gai said and struck his nice guy pose.
"But why isn't Tenten here then?" Lee wondered.
"Hmmm...I don't know, Lee. Maybe she was offended so badly that she went home crying!" Gai said nodding.
"What! Then I too shall avenge her!" Lee said as he jumped up.
"Wait Lee! Neji told us not to intervine with this battle! We'll watch quietly from the lines this time my springtime of youth student!" Gai comanded Lee, who immediately returned to his sensei.
"Gai-sensei...Do you think Neji can win?" Lee asked as he sat down.
"Hmm...I don't know Lee. He is good but he ain't a Jounin." Gai replied and noticed that Lee looked a bit sad.
"However! We must cheer our friend Neji on and he might win by our youthful spirit enthousiasm!" Gai said and struck the nice guy pose again.
"Ossu!" Lee said as he saluted his sensei.
"Hey guys, what are you doing?" Tenten asked who sudden stood behind them.
"Tenten!" Both Gai and Lee said.
"What's with the surprised look?" Tenten asked as she stared at Lee and her sensei.
"Tenten, are you alright! Didn't Anko offend you and that's why Neji is fighting her right now!" Lee shouted as he stood up.
"What? No! And they're fighting? They supposed to be on a date...but fighting is good as well." Tenten said confused.
"Date?" Gai and Lee said confused as they turned around towards Neji and Anko again. Meanwhile Neji struck his Hakke pose as Anko began flashing trough seals.
"Neji has lost it Gai-sensei! He is even posing wrong!" Lee mentioned.
"Lee your sharper then ever before! And yes he has lost it!" Gai said.
"Hakke...Hyaku Niju Hashou!" Neji said and rushed forward.
"128 hits! Since when can he...?" Gai said. Anko noticed Neji running towards her and stopped her jutsu and unleashed her Hidden Snake Hands with both her hands.
"Damn...However I can't seriously hurt her...I just need to beat her. Looks like I have no choice." Neji thought as he used his first 8 hits to knock the snakes away. Anko tried to jump back but couldn't escape Neji's attack.
"Sensei? Are there a lot of tenketsu in a person's chest?" Tenten said as she pointed at Neji.
"Well yes, the heart has a lot of them but he isn't..." Gai stopped talking as he noticed the red blush on Anko's face. He quickly grabbed Lee and Tenten and covered up their ears. A few seconds later the earth started tremblign and once it stopped Gai let go of his students. Neji looked bewildered at Anko who was lying down on the ground with a huge red blush on her face.
"What the hell was that...?" Neji said to himself.
"Neji you did it!" Tenten cheered as she ran towards Neji.
"Tenten? What are you doing here?" Neji asked as Tenten hugged him.
"Er...well...no special reason. Why were you fighting her?" Tenten asked.
"To make a long story short, she thought I was weak and wouldn't go out with me on a date because of it." Neji said.
"Then why did you go and fight her?" Tenten asked a bit annoyed.
"Because I don't like being called weak." Neji said as he shrugged.
"Oh ok...So...now what?" Tenten asked.
"Hey, sorry but I payed for a date and so I get one." Anko said as she got back up and dusted herself off.
"So I need to borrow your boyfriend for a few hours..." Anko continued as she walked up to Tenten and Neji. Tenten firmly stood infront of Neji and spread her arms.
"Don't worry, I'll be good for him...Your one lucky girl." Anko whispered in Tenten's ear as she poked her.
"Tenten, she's right. She did pay for it and Naruto and I don't want to get a 'bad' name." Neji said.
"Well then let's go to my house. I still need to change clothes." Anko said grinning.
"Tenten, I'll come by your house tonight." Neji said and gave Tenten a kiss before leaving.
Tenten slightlysmiled as she watched him slowly walking away and just before leaving her sight he looked over his shoulder and smiled at her. She then turned around and ran back to Lee and Gai.
"But Gai-sensei! What was that earthquake!" Lee asked.
"Lee, it's best for you to not know right now! Maybe when your later in your springtime of youth!" Gai said.
"But Gai-sensei!" Lee protested.
"Lee! Didn't you hear what I said! It is better for you to know it later!" Gai said.
"O-Ossu!" Lee said and saluted his sensei.
"Uhm you guys...I want to ask you something." Tenten said.
"What is it Tenten? Are you worried about Neji?" Lee asked excited.
"No, I just wondered if you guys knew what he likes." Tenten asked.
"What Neji likes? Well it certainly ain't the Hyuuga Main House." Gai said nodding.
"And he certainly likes you!" Lee shouted.
"Ow your really sharp today my adorable student!" Gai yelled. Lee and Gai then started shouting and hugging, so Tenten sneaked away.
"Well those two weren't much help...Let's see who else I can ask for help..." Tenten said to herself as she walked trough the main street of Konoha. Meanwhile, Neji was waiting in front of Anko's bedroom.
"Why do woman always take so long to change clothes...I really don't get it." Neji thought as he waited impatiently. Just then the door opened and Anko walked out of her room.
"Well, how do I look pretty boy?" Anko said as she winked at Neji.
"Er..you look fine..And..." Neji said trying not to drool.
"Pretty boy?" Neji asked in a annoyed tone.
"Well that's what you are...So how about we stay here at my place and order some food instead of going out." Anko said in a tone he almost couldn't resist.
"No..I think I have a better idea." Neji said smirking.
"Ow..and what might that be?" Anko said blushing as she glared at Neji.
"Must...resist...power...of...hormones..." Neji thought and gritted his teeth. A while later Neji was smiling widely as he sat on a chair.
"So...How the heck did you pull that off anyway?" Naruto asked as he pointed at Anko.
"It's called skills." Neji said.
"Ow dear, could you please give us some more?" Neji asked.
"Yes sir, at your command sir..." Anko said and walked away from their table.
"Damn it...This isn't what I thought he meant when he said he had a better idea..." Anko cursed in her mind.
"You sure are lucky, right Akamaru?" Kiba said and Akamaru barked.
"So...she's at your command for an entire week?" Naruto asked.
"That's right." Neji replied and closed his eyes.
"And she has to do EVERYTHING you ask her?" Kiba asked and started smirking. Neji nodded a couple of times.
"So if you'd say to her, Please preform a striptease in front of me and my friends, she'd do it, right?" Kiba asked.
"...Why do you want to know that?" Neji asked in return.
"Where is our striptease then!" Kiba said and grinned widely.
"I'm not going to let her do that in public..." Neji said and sighed.
"Is there anything else I can do for you, sir?" Anko asked as she put down the drinks she got for Neji and his friends.
"Yes, could you please show Kiba why I wouldn't command you to strip in public." Neji said. Kiba was grinning widely, hoping to get something good. However that grin quickly disappeared as Anko punched him in the face, sending him flying trough the streets of Konoha. Anko then took his seat, sat down on it and sighed as she hung on her arms. She looked around the table and noticed all the boys blushing at her.
"What's wrong?" Anko asked. Neji closed his eyes and pointed in her direction. She then noticed her shirt was a bit too open to her liking and quickly closed it.
"What? Too much woman for you guys?" She asked and looked away while blushing a lot.
"I've seen worse." Naruto confessed and shrugged.
Shikamaru, Chouji, Neji and Anko all stared at Naruto.
"What?" Naruto asked as he looked at his friends.
"You telling me you've seen more then THIS!" Anko said and flashed Naruto. Everyone drooled and quickly shook it off when she closed her shirt again.
"Er...Well...Yeah...Almost every week I do." Naruto said nodding with a huge blush on his face.
"Wow Naruto..." Neji said.
"I didn't know Naruto was getting that much." Chouji said and opened a bag off chips, hoping to hear a good story.
"It's too troublesome to even wonder what Naruto is doing when we're not in his sight..." Shikamaru said and took a zip of his drinks.
"What! No! That's not it! I see more at my work! That's all!" Naruto yelled and waved his hands like mad.
"That says enough..." Shikamaru sighed.
"Shut up dattebayo! You've been worse then me Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled pointing at Shikamaru. Anko shoved over to Neji and leaned towards him.
"You know...You and your friends are all pretty damn sexually active..." Anko whispered in his ear. Neji didn't respond and took a zip of his soda.
"What kind of troublesome things have you heard about me?" Shikamaru asked annoyed.
"Like you teaching a certain someone a thing or two..." Naruto said and poked in Shika's stomach with his elbow.
"I figured she couldn't keep her mouth shut to you...I can't help a troublesome thing like me being good at that." Shikamaru said.
"But you know...That means you've been with her again." Shikamaru said grinning at Naruto. Naruto looked shocked at Shikamaru and didn't really know what to say.
"Well...er...Not really...She just came by my house and tried to seduce me and then when I refused she blurted out that you've been telling her things for nothing." Naruto said and looked away.
"Hey Neji-kun...Shall we go back to my home...I did pay for a date and I deserve some private attention from you for being so nice today to you..." Anko whispered in Neji's ear.
"Hmm...You've got a point...Fine then..." Neji said and stood up.
"Guys, I'm leaving...Later all." Neji said and walked away.
"Later Neji." They all said and then Anko followed Neji. Later that day, more to say in the evening, Tenten was impatiently waiting at her home for Neji. When the doorbell rang, Tenten jumped out of the window and was glad to see Neji at her door.
"Neji!" Tenten said and hugged him.
"Wow Tenten...Easy there, you actually caught me off guard." Neji said and then Tenten picked him up and carried him back to her room.
"Now that was the least thing I was expecting." Neji said as Tenten sat him down on her bed.
"Before I start ehm...with what I want to do...I want to ask you something..." Tenten said and sat down next to him.
"Huh? What is it?" Neji asked.
"Forgive me for asking this but...Did something happen between you and Anko?" Tenten asked and bit her lip as she waited for a response.
"No, not at all...She tried to convince me at her home though..." Neji said.
"What happened!" Tenten demanded.
"She asked if I could ehm...'please' her. I said, If I wasn't in love with someone very special I'd might do that...but I can't find my heart to betray that person. It would break her heart if I did." Neji said and Tenten instantly threw herself around Neji's neck.
"What's wrong Tenten...? I was just late because she wanted to know somethings I could help her out with." Neji said as he wrapped his arms around Tenten.
"You can tell me that later...Right now..I just want nothing more then this..." Tenten said and kissed Neji passionately.
"Hold up Tenten. First I want to know something." Neji said after breaking the kiss.
"What is it?" Tenten asked.
"Why are you wearing a kimono right now?" Neji asked.
"That my aniversary gift for you." Tenten said smiling.
"...I don't really get it." Neji said.
"I couldn't think of anything you'd actually like...So I decided to give you something you'd definetely like...Me." Tenten said smiling and pushed Neji down on her bed.
"And here I was thinking I already had you..." Neji said smiling.
"I never want to lose you to anyone, Neji..." Tenten said as she moved one hand under his shirt.With the other she opened her kimono and layed down on him.
"I don't want to lose you either..." Neji said as Tenten stroke with her hand trough his hair and then moved towards him.
"For you are the one I choose..." Neji thought as he closed his eyes and kissed Tenten.
