Hey everyone! I'm so glad everyone liked my last chapter… I wasn't too sure how the "Lee POV" would go, but it seems it went well, for the most part.

Thanks to: Suki dah Turdle, ichigoxrukia, A Crazy Girl of Many Names, and Sakran. Thanks for your kind reviews!

Summary: He was so great that he made the stars shine. It was totally unbelievable, but in a way, she believed it.

O-O-O-O-O

I Made The Stars Shine

O-O-O-O-O

He was acutely aware of her heaving chest, her gasping breaths, and her sweaty face, which was twisted with determination.

"Face it Tenten, you can't beat me," Neji said, crossing his arms over his chest. His passive expression didn't fool the kunoichi for a moment though; Tenten knew he was testing her, seeing how much more she could take.

"I'm fine Hyuga Neji!" she spat, wiping her face on her sleeve. Lunging at the prodigy, she swiped at his chest with a kunai, but Neji stepped aside, leaving the girl to sprawl face first into the snow.

"You were saying?" He smirked, seeing her dark eyes peer up from beneath her bangs.

"Shut up Neji." And he did, but for a different reason.

The snow was stained red.

"Tenten, are you bleeding?" Neji asked, his voice almost wavering. And then she was gone. Genjutsu illusions…

Something in his brain suddenly clicked, and Neji leapt aside just as a horrendous torrent of weapons pierced the spot in which he had just been standing in.

Panting, Tenten smiled wanly. "You really are a genius…" and she plopped into Neji's arms.

"Yea, and you are a dope," he retorted, supporting her weight easily. "But, we all know I'm a genius," he stated. "I mean, I made the sun and the moon and the—"

"Shove it!" Tenten hissed, pulling Neji's ponytail. The Hyuga prodigy stopped.

"You did not just…" he gestured towards his hair. Tenten smiled smugly.

"Awww… worried about your precious hair?"

"…Shut up…"

A few moments passed in silence, and finally, Neji's patience broke.

"Care to tell me why you're not saying anything?" he said irritably."It's rude to ignore others, you know..." He frowned at Tenten's grin.

"You told me to shut up." And then Neji received a mouthful of snow.

Laughing maniacally, Tenten wielded snowballs in much the same manner as she did her famous weaponry. And those snowballs were huge. Neji considered using his kaiten, but decided not to waste chakra on snow.

That thought lasted two seconds before Tenten dumped a huge pile of snow down his shirt. Icy slush dripped its way down his slender torso, and Neji gasped sharply, trying to rid the snow from beneath his jacket.

"You—I—can't believe—" Tenten began laughing hysterically, rolling around in the snow. "Yea, you're so amazing—you made the moon and sun and accomplished getting snow down your shirt!" she broke off into laughter again.

But that was only until Neji grabbed her and shoved snow down her shirt.

Ignoring Tenten's shrieks, he whispered seductively, "I may not have made the moon and the sun, but I certainly made the stars shine."

And then he kissed her.
