Ok so the last chapter was kind of weird but I had to set my trap. And so now we will continue with the story… what will happen? How out of hand can things get? What will poor Neji and Kiba do? Stay tuned to fined out…
Disclaimer: I own the plot, my shrine, and this story but Naruto and his gang are not in my arsenal of "I Own Things."
OoOoOo.oOoOoO
"Kiba we're more than friends now right?" Temari asked a little sheepishly. Kiba looked uncomfortable. She looked deep into his dark eyes while he tried desperately to look toward the ground. His attempts were in vain when Temari kissed his cheek and he stared straight at her.
Neji and Kiba wanted to retreat, to leave and pretend like this whole thing never happened, but the girls soon become impatient. Wanting answers to ridiculous questions like, "What's the baby's name going to be?" and "When are you going to propose to me?" The guys were worried and angry. How could Sakura and Shino do this to them!
"Tenten, quite this act. It's gone far enough. You're starting to sound ridiculous and you don't even seem like yourself," Neji said. It pained him to say it but she was acting like a complete idiot. (AN: I'm sorry to all Tenten fans, I am a huge Tenten fan as well and it pains me greatly to write this!) She looked at him with all seriousness and Neji thought the phase had passed, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh Neji! You are just so cute when you sigh!" Tenten screamed at him as she latched her arms around him. Temari had somehow gotten a hold of Akamaru again and was threatening Kiba that she might not give him back. The boys were thinking of leaving but knew the girls would just follow, which could lead them back to their own homes, which could lead to something very unwanted.
"Neji-kun, I lo…" Tenten started but her mouth was covered by two of Neji's fingers. She didn't know why he would do such a thing right then, when she was about to confess her love to him.
"Tenten, don't say that, at least not now. For one, you are completely acting out of line. And two," Neji wiped a tear away from Tenten's now wide eyes, "love is a very big word. I don't want to hear you just throwing it around. I'm sorry Tenten but if it's what it takes." Neji closed his eyes tightly and made a few hand signs and shouted the word "Byakugan."
Akamaru growled in Temari's arms. Temari gave him back to Kiba, finally admitting slight defeat, but then she pounced. Kiba began to fight back.
"I'm sorry Temari," he whispered as he and Akamaru got into a defensive position. His hands were held out, waiting for Temari to approach. A single tear escaped both his and Neji's eyes as the boys were forcing themselves to fight the girls.
"What are you doing Kiba?" Temari asked, very confused as to why the boy she had come to like was now getting ready to attack her.
"Temari! Fight me! Fight for me! If you do anything do this for me!" Kiba barked at her. Temari looked at him like he had just asked her to jump of a cliff. She looked away for a few seconds and then turned back to Kiba.
"Neji? I refuse to fight you! You can't make me!" Tenten yelled, tears were now streaming down her face. She looked at Neji who now was smirking at her, just like he would if he were fighting every other idiot in the village.
"Neji! No. Please don't!" Tenten yelled as he charged at her. He hit her arm, causing the chakra flow to be obstructed. Tenten screamed in pain as Neji hit her again and again until she stopped acting the way she was.
"Neji! Stop I can't take anymore of this!" Tenten yelled. She was now on the ground suffering greatly from the attacks Neji had set upon her.
"Come on Temari! Fight me like you mean it!" Kiba yelled as he dodged another wind based attack. He sent Akamaru on the front lines. Temari screamed in pain as Akamaru bit her in the arm, knocking the fan right out of her hands.
"I'm sorry Temari, it's the only way." Kiba said once again as he advanced on the poor bleeding girl. He didn't want things to go this far, but she was so stubborn.
"Tenten, I… I'm sorry. I never wanted anything to happen to you, but I guess I ended up being your own cruel dilemma tonight. I wish you had never called me." Neji said, desperately wishing he could turn back time.
The group downstairs was now rushing up toward the roof from hearing the deep cries of pain from the two girls. Sakura was first to see the scene play out as guilt flooded her body. Had she done this to Tenten and Temari? She had forced the girls to overly love Neji and Kiba.
"Neji! Kiba! Stop! Don't fight them anymore! Shino call them off, it got too far out of hand." Sakura said as Shino nodded. Tenten and Temari collapsed to their knees, pain searing throughout their bodies. They had no clue what was going on, all they knew was that they couldn't move.
"What did you mean when you said call them off? Shino works with bu…" No sooner had Kiba said that, than he figured it out. He ran at Shino with every ounce of chakra he had left in his hands. Kiba was ready to kill Shino for his dumb moves.
"Kiba, don't hurt him. It's my fault. I dared him to do it. Please don't hit Shino because of me." Sakura said, trying to protect her friend who was just about to receive a punch in the face. Kiba stopped himself from slamming his fist angrily into his teammates face.
"How could you? You made us fight the girls. Shino you said you would never use those!" Kiba was still angry, nothing anyone said could take his anger of his best friend. Shino took the anger from his friend gracefully. He didn't move a muscle, and his face didn't flinch at all. He just stood there and waited for Kiba's yelling to cease.
"N-Neji?" Tenten's voice was barely above a whisper, but Neji heard her. He turned around quickly and saw her standing. He was shocked, very few people could do that, even with her knowledge of his technique it would still be difficult and take a lot of determination and will power.
"O-our match isn't o-over," she said looking him straight in the eye and waited for him to get back in a fighting position.
"Tenten, you are almost out of chakra. I'm not going to fight you anymore, I only did it because I was hoping to snap you out of your weird state." Neji said as he noticed Temari standing again as well. The fire in their eyes was fueled by pure determination.
"K-Kiba, if you t-truly are m-m-my friend, then you'll f-fight me," Temari said, he chakra level was low as well, but neither of the girls cared. They were determined to fight the boys. And they weren't giving up until the boys complied with finishing the match.
Kiba stood there for a few seconds before he saw how much Temari wanted to fight. 'Did we really do that?' He saw the pain in her eyes. He wasn't sure if they wanted to fight out of payback or out of a new dislike of them. He wasn't sure of what to do. If he fought her, he would surely kill her on the outside, and if he didn't he would kill her on the inside.
"Temari, please don't make me fight you again. I'm sorry I didn't want to fight you the first time. Please don't make me do it again." Kiba said, hoping she would just forgive him and let him be.
"I don't want you to apologize, just fight me!" Temari yelled at him. She was now helping Tenten regain composure. Tenten and Temari eyed the two guys before Tenten completely lost her temper and threw two kunai, hitting the boys squarely in the shoulder.
"Neji Hyuga! Your intent was to get me to momentarily hate you, but you went soft. I shouldn't be able to stand and yet here I am. If you won't fight me then you are obviously meant to be in the Cadet Branch of the Hyuga household." Tenten said. She watched as he cringed at the last part, she had hit the exact nerve she wanted.
"Never. Insult. Me. I put up with you all night acting like that and you tell me I'm exactly where I should be? I'm stuck in some house being tortured because my lack of a higher social status? I thought you of all people understood Tenten, but in the end I guess I was right. You are just like every other bumbling idiot in this village." Neji said as he closed his eyes for mere seconds before charging at Tenten once again.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Temari whispered to Tenten as she watched Neji approach. Tenten nodded her head, she watched as Neji got closer and closer.
