Heh. There is a cross over here. Guess what other show it's from! I know my friend will be happy! I hope. And you know who you are!
Tenten pulled Neji up. She looked at the ground there was a small blood puddle. She repositioned him. He was now on his knees and Tenten's hand was holding Neji's head close to her shoulder. She felt him coughing and looked at her shirt. Crimson red spots were staining her top. But she didn't care. She held Neji closer.
'Something's not right!' She thought. 'He shouldn't be coughing up blood!' Shining streaks became visible down Tenten's face. Then she felt a cold shaky hand wipe away her tears.
"Neji!" She snapped her head up. "Don't struggle to move. You'll lose more blood." She said as she grabbed his hand.
"W-What's… going on?" He asked hoarsely between coughs.
"I-I don't know." She cried even harder. "I want to help! But I can't I feel useless!" She held him closer. "I-I don't want to lose you!"
"Who said I'm….Going…to die?"
"The blood you're losing…" she choked out between sobs. "You don't have much left!"
"I'm not giving up. I will survive. I…will…sur….vive…" Neji's body became limp. He closed his eyes.
"NEJI!" Tenten yelled as she held the motionless body in her arms. "I-I'm alone. What am I supposed to do?" She sobbed as hard as she could then.
"I-I can't breath!"
"Neji!" Tenten shrieked. She let him go then she looked at him through the dim light. "N-Neji?"
"Yes. My wolf form. I don't know why but I changed at the last minute. The wolf saved me once again. But I think once I turn back after the cure I…may…"
"I-I know…" She mumbled. "But we have a while to go so let's not think about that. Okay?" She put on a fake smile. Deep down inside she'd rather have him live as a wolf then die. She sulked on the inside.
"Well. I guess since we're all rested up we can search for the potion."
"H-Hai." They left. They jumped tree to tree for a few hours.
"Neji…I'm tired. Should we rest? We have been going non stop for hours."
"Fine." They stopped they were a mile away from the village hidden in the mist. "5 minutes most."
"Fine." Five minutes passed. They got up and arrived at the village a few minutes later. Everyone stared. They noticed Neji.
"Hey that's the sacred wolf." A villager whispered to another.
"I thought the village's wolf became extinct 13 yrs ago!" The other villager whispered back.
"I know. Looks to me that it came with that girl. Look at her headband. She's a ninja from Konoha. And that forehead protector around the wolf's neck states it's from Konoha too."
"But I thought the wolves were kept away from the gate. I thought they only roamed in our village."
"They did."
"That suspicious."
"Yea." The men walked away. While Tenten and Neji walked to the Hokage's office they heard people murmur about them. It got on Neji last nerve. It had made Tenten snap awhile ago but she tried to keep it in side. Neji was about to pounce on a villager but Tenten grabbed his tail.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" He yelled in pain.
"DON'T BE CHASING AFTER PEOPLE!"
"Fine."
"Thank you." They arrived at the Hokage's office. He welcomed them in.
"I see. You're the ones Tsunade told me about."
"H-Hai." Tenten said shyly. 'I can't believe that they're hokage is so young and hansome.' Neji saw she was blushing. And he knew what about. He growled and got ready to attack the hokage. No one flirts with his Tenten!
"Neji! I told you! God you never listen!"
"Yes I listen! Just stop flirting with the Hokage! He is way older than you!"
"I sense jealousy."
"I am not jealous of that snot nose brat!"
"Fine whatever!"
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything but…Ummm…what is he saying?"
"Oh uhhh nothing! Don't worry about it!" She sweat dropped. "Now. What about the potion?" she turned serious.
"Ohh...yes. There is one girl. Her name is Katara. Katara has this special technique. She can use water in a way no one else can this is called "Bending". There are three more people with this power. Aang can bend air, Toph can bend earth (ground) and Zuko can bend fire. But Katara is the only one who can create this potion. Go to her. She lives by the lake in the back of the village. She has lived there alone with her brother ever since her father passed away from battling in a war and her mother got killed by an ambush and her grandmother died of old age."
"That's sad." Tenten said. "Poor girl. Her only family is her brother. Hopefully he is a smart boy."
"Uhhh…you can say that. You should go before it gets dark."
"Okay. Bye!" Tenten and Neji left. They jumped from roof to roof. Until they saw a little cottage by a lake. They saw a girl with long brown hair in a bun then it became a braid. She wore a blue dress. She was bending the water and watering her vegetable garden. Then they saw a boy with his hair up in a ponytail like Shikamaru's. He wore blue too.
"Those must be the kids." Neji barked.
"Yea. But they look our age. That's sad they're growing up with no family." Tenten hopped down and Greeted the girl.
"Hi. I'm Tenten. We were sent here by your Hokage to have you make a the Kunico Bud Potion."
"Oh Hi! I'm Katara. Meet my brother Sokka." Katara pointed to Sokka. Sokka was fishing in the lake and he was making muscles at his reflection. Katara bended some water and splashed Sokka.
"HEY! What was that for!"
"We have company stop playing around!"
"Oh." Sokka paddled back to shore and walk over to the group. "Hi. I'm Sokka."
"Hi. I'm Tenten. And the wolf is…well give me a sec." Tenten dragged Neji away from Katara and Sokka. "Hey. Can I tell them about you?" she asked.
"Hn. I guess."
"Thank you Neji!" They went back to the group.
"This," She said as she pointed to Neji. "Is Neji." She explained the whole curse problem.
"Sure. And this is Katara, my changing sister." Sokka said.
"Sokka!" Katara hit her brother. "Haven't you heard about the Three Curses!"
"Gran Gran use to tell us bedtime stories about it. It's just a legend."
"Tenten! The curse! Oh wait. It's cloudy." Neji quickly barked.
"Neji! Calm down! I'm not going to change. It'll be fine! Unless- O crap the sun is coming out! Is there any shaded area we can talk at?" Tenten asked.
"Let's go in the house." Katara led them to the living room, she sat down. "Sit anywhere you like." Tenten sat next to her new friend and Neji sat on the floor.
"Now, what about the potion?" Tenten asked.
"The potion. The potion is something only I can make. But it takes a long time to create. So you are welcome to stay with us until then."
"How long does it take?"
"About a week."
"Okay. But will we be a burden?
"No no. We love company! We don't get much."
"Okay then!"
"You and Neji can sleep in the guest room. Or would you rather have Neji stay with Sokka and you stay with me?"
"Uhh…I'll stay in your room." Tenten said. Still recovering from last night. She still couldn't believe Neji kissed her. He showed no sign of affection before. And it just spontaneously happened. "We could have like a sleepover."
"Sound like fun!" Sokka walked in the door. "Hey bro! Neji will be staying in your room tonight."
"Fine. As long as he doesn't try to kill me."
"Oh would you like to borrow some clothes? It looks like you had a few encounters on the way here."
"Thanks! Oh…My clothes got snagged on some branches. And I tripped once and got scrapped up."
"Here we can get you some clothes follow me." Katara led Tenten into her room. She got two layers of clothes. "The light blue outfit is like a under garmet that you can use to swim in and the darker dress is the outfit part." She handed the clothes to Tenten. The kunoichi changed in the bathroom. She came out.
"How does it look?"
"Great! Okay. Let's go outside and I can heal your wounds."
"Okay." The walked outside right when Tenten remembered her curse. She hit the sunlight and changed.
"TENTEN! What's going on!" Katara yelled in shock. Sokka and Neji ran to the girls to see what was happening.
"O my god! It's true! The curse is true!" Sokka yelled. Neji ran over to the fox. He nudged her. She looked away. She was ticked. How could she forget? She was so shocked she didn't realize her pain until now. She fell down. Tenten yelled in pain. Katara looked at her. She examined the fox. She saw a big gash across her arm. Katara picked up Tenten and took her near the water. She laid Tenten on the water's edge and she got in the lake. Neji watched as Katara as she was bending some water to Tenten wound. It instantly healed. Neji stood in aw. Katara brought Tenten back in the house and laid her on the bed in Katara's room. It was getting dark now. Katara made dinner. Everyone ate except for Tenten. She had fallen asleep.
"I'm going to get Tenten and put her in moonlight." Neji barked.
"Huh?" Katara asked.
'Dang! I forgot. They don't understand anything I say!' Neji went into Katara's room. He shook Tenten awake.
"C'mon the moon is out! Let's go have you change back." Tenten and Neji walked in to the moonlight. She yelled in pain as she changed. Neji was in shock as he looked at Tenten in the dress. She looked so beautiful in the moonlight with the blue dress on.
"Now. That's better! C'mon Neji I'll carry you. You've worked hard today." Tenten picked Neji up and laid him on the couch in the living room. He slowly drifted to sleep. Tenten walked into the kitchen.
"Hey. Tenten. You can sleep on the bed I'll sleep on the floor." Katara suggested.
"But-"
"No. It's fine. Well I'm going to bed."
"Me too." Sokka yawned.
"I guess I'll go to bed too." Tenten said. Once everyone was sleeping Katara got up and started the potion.
"This will take such along time. The ingreedents…only a Kunico Bud and Holy Spring water. I have the water I need the Flower. But it's only…in…Oh no."
