Hey! Sorry for a sorta late update. I don't like updating on weekends. Anyways, I got some great reviews! There are a lot so I won't list em. When I was editing and I accidentally pressed shift, all of the things I wrote got erased except for the story. Well, THANKS TO ALL MY REVIEWERS! Oh and by the way, there is no Naru/Hina in this chapter. Don't worry, they'll be doing something good next chapter >)

Disclaimer: Sigh...I wish Naruto was mine...

Chapter 10

In The Rooms

"Hey Neji?"

"Hmm?"

"Why'd you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Why'd you…kiss…me…?" Tenten blushed.

"Oh."

"Yeah…um…why?"

"I guess…eh…u-um…" Neji stuttered. He was stuttering just as much as Hinata. He looked away and Tenten swore she thought she saw a light blush on his face. She got this message. Tenten placed her hand on his cheek, and pulled his face towards hers. Again, for the second time, their lips met. Neji was shocked at her action. He didn't think that she felt the same way. Ever since he saw her, he thought that she was beautiful, and very kind. And for that, she earned Neji's respect and attention. He returned the kiss. After a few minutes they broke apart, due to a loud bump that happened in the room next to theirs. Neji scowled but then stared at Tenten, who was staring at him.

"I've always admired you Neji. For a long time. And I've always l-liked you I guess…" She blushed. It was hard for her to let it out straight, but she did it. She looked away, until she felt strong arms wrap around her waist. She looked up to see Neji staring at her, with dreamy eyes. "N-neji-kun…"

"Shhhhh…." He led her to the bed and lied her down gently. Tenten eyes were still wide open. Neji has never acted so kind and caring before. He walked over to the dresser and undid his hair. It fell down and his bangs covered some of his forehead. He turned around and started to walk over to where Tenten was lying.

'Uh oh…what's he doing?'

"What do you mean what am I doing? I'm going to bed." Neji smirked.

'Gah! He read my mind!' but Neji didn't really READ minds. He could tell what they were thinking when he looked into their face.

"H-how'd—!" She was cut off when Neji shut off the lights and lied down next to Tenten. She could feel his back against hers, and his light breathing, was like a lullaby. She slowly drifted to sleep.

After a few hours, she woke up due to the thunder outside and was a little bit scared. She turned to the other side, since she was facing the window. When she did, her face almost met with Neji's. They were so close.

'Good…he's asleep. I can turn to the other side and –' She was cut off from her thoughts when felt those same strong arms wrap around her again, and pull her closer. Her face was resting on his chest. She could hear his heart beat. Slow and steady, where as hers was fast and out of control. She hoped that he wouldn't hear it.

After some time in that position, they drifted asleep, listening to each other's breathing.

SASUKE AND SAKURA'S ROOM: BEFORE NEJI AND TENTEN WENT TO SLEEP

Sakura sat lazily in a wooden chair. Sasuke sat straight in a bean bag. Maybe if they switched seats, it would look more right. The room was silent. All they could hear was the sound of rain on the roof, and the claps of thunder, echoing through the silent house.

"I'm bored…" Sakura moaned.

"Hn." Sasuke said not even looking at her.

"I'm not sleepy and I'm boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooored…" She moaned again.

"…" Sasuke said nothing.

"Can't we do something? You're no fun."

"Hn."

"Alright that's it!" Sakura got tired of Sasuke not saying any words. She launched forward at him, but missed as he snuck behind her and twisted her body so it was facing his. He locked her hands against the wall, witch caused a big bump. Sasuke just smirked.

"Don't try to approach me like that. You'll end up in a worse position than this." He smirked again. Sakura managed to push him to the ground, so that she that she was on top, locking his wrists down. Sasuke was impressed that she was able to do this, so he smirked again.

"Stop smirking! I'll wipe it off your face!" Sakura grinned. Sasuke kept smirking and put his left leg over her right and pushed her over to the left so he was on top again.

"You were saying?" He kept that same smirk on his face.

"Grrrr….." Sakura finally relaxed. "Fine. I give up." She said. Sasuke was still in the same position. "I said I give up! So let go of me!" She struggled again.

"I won't let go until I'm done." Sasuke got an evil grin on his face.

'I'M GONNA GET RAPED!' She screamed in her head.

'DON'T LET HIM GIRL! SPIT IN HIS FACE!' Inner Sakura ordered.

'Where were you all this time!'

'Hey, I needed a vacation because of all the stuff you do!'

'Hmph.'

"Heh." Sasuke smirked AGAIN. He leaned closer until their faces were only an inch apart. Sakura was blushing.

'What's he doing?'

'HIT HIM!'

'I CAN'T! I'M PINNED DOWN BAKA!'

'WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?'

'JUST SHUT UP FOR A SEC!'

"Hmmm…" Sasuke examined her face, then grinned. He leaned down further and placed a small, short peck on her lips. He got up from where he was and held out his hand, so he could help her up.

"Hey what was that for?" Sakura took his hand harshly and pulled up.

"I'm bored too." He said simply and straight out, and yawned. "Think I'll go to bed."

"Not until you tell me why you did that!" She touched her lips.

"Why should I tell you?" He asked.

"I deserve to know since I was the victim!"

"Hn."

"Grr….smart ass."

"Heh." He smirked. "Having an attitude brings out your fiery, wild side. I like that."

Sakura blushed.

"Sh-shut up." She looked away. Sasuke flopped on the queen size guest bed and stared at the ceiling. Sakura turned off the lights and flopped down on the bean bag.

"Why won't you come sleep here?" He asked.

"Ha! Sleeping next to you? I'd rather sleep next to Naruto!" She yelped. Sasuke just stared bluntly at her. "Okay maybe not Naruto, but you get the point!"

"Wouldn't you call this a relationship? We kissed twice." He grinned.

"Hmph…" she blushed again.

'Hell yeah! Go sleep next to him!'

'Are you nuts!'

'No! I'm smitten!'

'Grrr…not you too!'

"Hey." This snapped Sakura out of her fight with her inner self. Seriously, she was giving outer Sakura head ache.

"What?"

"Come on. I don't bite."

"What happened to that I'm-too-cool-to-have-any-emotions-so-I-just-use-the-one-word-in-my-dictionary-as-an-excuse-for-a-word attitude?" She stopped to catch her breath because she said a lot.

"Heh. Come on. Just tonight." He was really pushing it. Sakura knew that he wouldn't give up. Maybe in the middle of the night she would find him on top of her showing that ridiculous, but cute, smirk and holding her down trying to rape her. No she couldn't exactly trust him, but there was no where else to sleep, so she gave in.

"Grr….fine." She got up on the bed next to Sasuke and turned around so her back was facing him.

"Oyasumenasai." Sakura said.

"Hn."

"…"

"…"

"Whatever…baka…" She drifted to sleep fairly quickly because of all the yelling she did. Yelling can take the energy out of you.

"Heh." Sasuke smirked, and drifted to sleep as well.
