Summary: Temari and Neji are together. Wth? Exactly.

-----

It was the first time that they were together in public, and things were NOT going well.

They were getting weird looks from random people passing by as they headed down the street towards his house. Not those shocked kind of weird looks. Those full out OMGWTFBBQ type of weird looks.

He scowled slightly, and shifted uncomfortably. It wasn't really that odd was it? It wasn't like he was the one that started this strange relationship.

A glance to his right told him that she was faring a lot better than he was. It made sense though really. He knew almost all, if not everyone in the village, and it wasn't like him to attach himself in a relationship, much less one with the older sister of the Kazekage of the village that Konoha still didn't entirely trust yet. She knew next to no one, and was perfectly fine with it.

Actually, there were quite a few people that believed he was gay. Which he wasn't…Seriously!

Just because he had that one fling…

Anyways. He paused his train of thought right there because, that train of thought was leading to Bad Thoughts that would Not Be Named, which would lead to the bringing up of Bad Memories, which involved the Happening of Bad Things…

They were almost there anyways.

Still holding her hand, he turned the corner and ran straight into Lee. Literally.

Temari was laughing at him. So were the little fans dancing around his head.

Oh god no.

He was about to say something when the bowl-haired idiot responded first.

"Wow she's hot. NEJI! I never knew you had it in you! HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!"

"Lee, shut up it -"

"Did you kill Shikamaru?"

"NO, I didn't even-"

"Neji, aren't you going to introduce me?"

He breathed out a long sigh.

"Right. Temari, this is Lee…a guy from my old squad. Lee, this is Temari. Look, Lee, it's not my fault she likes me more than Shikamaru -"

"And?"

"…do I have to?"

"Yes."

"Temari's my girlfriend. I think."

"Of course I am you idiot. Hi, nice to meet you!"

They talked for all for two minutes They said their goodbyes and walked down two more blocks.

Neji was close to ripping his hair out in a word that means something that comes from being incredibly frustrated and embarrassed and having just noticed Naruto coming his way. Close. That said a lot.

"Oi Neji! Temari!"

"Naruto. I can explain!"

Then he mentally slapped himself, because just after the words slipped out of his mouth, Naruto's eyes darted downwards a bit, and noticed the hand touching hand thing, that he refused to call 'holding hands'.

"Whoa, what the hell, Neji, did you kill Shikamaru?"

"NO! We've been dating for WEEKS."

"What, you and Shikamaru? Then what the heck are you doing with Temari?"

Naruto was incredibly dense. And this was the 6.89th billionth time he came up with this conclusion. Thankfully, Temari was not.

"No Naruto. Neji's MY boyfriend got it? Shikamaru knows already. I told him."

"Oh! That might be why I saw him at the ramen shop plotting-never mind."

"Yeah, okay, whatever, we gotta go!"

Neji ran down the street at a speed that would make Sasuke proud, dragging Temari along behind him.

The minute he finished locking the door, Temari turned on him.

"Neji, that was mean."

"I know."

"If I'm going to be your girlfriend, you'd better treat me like it."

He wondered why he ever agreed to date her.

"I don't know why I ever agreed to date you," he mourned pitifully.

"Oh, I think you know why," Temari grinned.

"No, I really don-MMPH"

And for the first time that day, Neji stopped thinking.
