A/N- Well I had planned on doing a shika/ino but a neji/tenten was requested. Here it is.

DISCLAIMER- I do not own naruto.

Title- Christmas battles

Pairing- Neji/TenTen

TenTen gracefully danced in the air, a barrage of weapons impaling all her enemies. Though she had took out a large part of the group, it looked as if no damage was done to lesser their numbers. Landing on the ground she took out a katana and began to slice her way through the shinobi's. Blood of the enemy, sprayed every which way, coloring her cheeks as well as the grass a dark red color. She felt a pang in her heart as she took out a shinobi with long brown hair. 'Neji' she thought. Would he come? She was on a solo mission after all. She had been on many solo missions ever since she became a jounin. How could he even know she was in danger? Her limbs ached as she twisted her body, dodging attacks as well as delivering them. Her chakra was running dangerously low now but still she did not give up. Using the last of her weapons she killed at least forty shinobi. Unfortunately that wasn't even enough to put a dent in the landscape as more shinobi quicklytook their place.

Finally succumbing to her exhaustion, she fell onto the forest floor. For TenTen it felt like she was falling in slow motion. Only one thought was going through her mind. 'Neji, forgive me for being so weak'. However her meeting with the floor never came. Strong arms enveloped her as a familiar 'kaiten' was being done somewhere nearby. She looked up to see Lee, fire burning in his eyes.

"DO NOT WORRY TENTEN-CHAN, YOUR YOUTH SHALL NOT BE EXSTINGUISHED YET!" he said placing her on the ground gently. With a battle cry he charged at the shinobi before him, killing them instantly with his unbeatable speed. It was not long before she felt herself get picked up again, hair flying in the wind as they jumped from tree to tree.

"Neji" she said looking up at his stoic face "What about Lee? We can't just leave him there."

"Don't worry" he said emotionlessly "Naruto and the others can handle it."

"Others" she said puzzled. She turned her head back to the battlefield and sure enough there were the rookie 9 using advanced jutsu's to quickly destroy the enemy. She turned her head back around and snuggled deeper into his chest, admiring the smell that was Neji.

"TenTen" he said causing her to look up at him, though she would rather stay buried in his chest. He made a sort of grunting noise and cleared his throat. "You are not weak. Any shinobi would become overwhelmed in that situation, me included. Do not think any less of yourself."

She hid her face in her coat so he couldn't see the blush that was starting to cover her face. He had heard her! She was sure that she hadn't said that aloud. Mumbling a quick thank you she thanked god that Neji couldn't see her burning cheeks. It felt like they had been traveling for hourspassing tree after tree.She stifled a yawn and adjusted herself so she would be more comfortable.

"Oh and TenTen"

"Hmmm" she whispered sleepily.

"Merry Christmas" he said allowing a small smile to form on his face.

She smiled, because even though her eyes were shut and she didn't have the Byakugan, she knew that he smiled too.

A/N- Merry Christmas and review! Personally I don't thinkI did very well on this one-shot ,but you guys can tell me what you think.
