It's not very long, I know. But this came to me while I was driving home tonight and I just had to write it when I got home. It probably isn't as good as it was when I first thought it up in the car, but that's what I get for letting inspiration strike with no laptop around.

That Damn Question
It was a simple and harmless question really, it was just the context of when it was asked that got Tenten so angry and offended. And she was very close to stabbing the next person who asked her it, even as harmless as it supposedly was.
"Are you the medic-nin?" A hand landed on her shoulder and she spun around to face the man who had asked her.
"No," she snapped out. "I just arrived at this camp with four other shinobi, male shinobi. How come I'm the first one you go to asking that question? Why don't you use your brain and ask our captain who the medic-nin is!"
A small voice made a coughing noise. "I'm the medic-nin, sir." The speaker was a young man about Tenten's height, but a few years her senior. "Point me in the direction of who needs the most healing."
Tenten turned away from the man in a huff, there was no way she was going to ask that man any questions she might have. That stupid question. Striding further in to the camp Tenten looked for the familiar face she knew was there with the group, but only found older, strange men. She began to head towards a small knot deep in conversation when a man intercepted her, laying his hand on her shoulder.
"Nurse, I think I need a physical," the man requested with a cocky grin.
That was the breaking point. Tenten slid out a kunai and slammed the butt of it into the man's jaw before grabbing the hand on her and snapping his pointer finger. "Now you really need a medic-nin for that nasty break. He's over there," she jerked the kunai in the direction the medic had disappeared. The man whimpered, gingerly holding his hand, and nodded before quickly heading where she had directed him.
The shinobi were all staring at her. "Anyone else want to presume I'm a medic simply because I'm female?" she asked in a dangerous tone. No answer. "Now, will someone tell me where Hyuuga Neji is? He sent for me, so I think he'd like to know that I've arrived."
"I was already sent for. Something about a crazy female assaulting Toshio and breaking his hand," Neji said with a frown as he entered the clearing.
"Honestly, it was only one finger," Tenten said with a smile.
"All right boys, the weapons specialist is here!" Neji called out to the shinobi. Was she really the only female here? "She's going to teach you as many tricks as she can within the next week, as well as setting traps with weapons, so that you'll be multiple times better with weapons before we attack Otogakure. It's time you stopped relying so much on your chakra when it can be taken away from you."
Neji smiled at Tenten. "They're all yours, work them to the bone."
Tenten smiled back as she stepped forward. She was going to take out all her frustrations on these men for each time some stupid man had assumed she was the medic simply because she was a female. These men would never again take a female lightly when they were finished with her training.
And she had a whole week with them.

(A/N) Okay so she wasn't really kicking anyone's ass… not really, except that one guy. But it's hard for me to write fight scenes…
