"Are we really having a welcome party now? Nobody told me in advance! I have not even bought a new present yet!" Naruto whined.
"Dobe. Did you not see that it was a pathetic excuse by Kakashi and Sakura to stop TenTen and Neji from killing each other?" Sasuke retorted.
"What pathetic excuse? Why don't I see you doing something better?" Sakura exploded.
"Shh… Let's just do something to help TenTen settle down." Kakashi advised.
"This is just too troublesome…" Shikamaru murmured, followed by an 'OW!', which our dearest Ino had just poked him.
"I'm really sorry about this. I had caused too much trouble for all of you. I think I should just leave this place, like what Neji had suggested." TenTen said, while returning to her really depressed mode.
"Don't be silly! We love to have you here!" Ino exclaimed, hoping TenTen wouldn't leave.
"Yah, besides, are we not friends? You are no trouble to us! We love to have you here. Just ignore Neji." Sakura hurriedly added.
"Please stay. It will be fun." Hinata pleaded.
"Yah, since everyone wants you to stay, just stay! I could let you play with my dogs!" Kiba said excitedly.
Seeing the care that everybody was showing, TenTen smiled and agreed to stay. And so, the 'party' began with them fooling around and drinking all kinds of blood. From then, TenTen strongly believed that she would be loved here.
Meanwhile, a pair of pale looking eyes was observing the party, mainly the newly added vampire. Neji just could not place his finger as to why he was so attracted to her. It was their first meeting and yet he felt as though they knew each other long time ago. Also, she seemed really interesting.
"Why don't you join us? After all, you were the one who brought her back."
Neji turned, to see a blonde idiot smiling at him.
"You knew I never do like such things. Besides, I don't like her. She is really annoying." Neji lied.
"Nobody asked you that. We know you like her. It's impossible for you to bring someone you don't like home." Sasuke said, appearing from nowhere.
"Hn." Neji stared.
"Whatever Hyuuga." Sasuke smirked back.
"Stop fighting! By the way, Neji, do you know about TenTen's past? Where did you find her?" Naruto asked.
"Don't know and I'm not interested in knowing. Found her lying near a building." Neji replied.
"Really? That was so sad. Shikamaru read her mind and saw her past. She committed suicide after knowing that her father did not want her anymore. She had no one else left in the world." Naruto told Neji.
"Hn. That has nothing to do with me. Why are the both of you still here? They will find out that you guys disappeared and start looking for me. Go back to the party and stop annoying me." Neji stated.
"Hn. Let's just go back dobe." Sasuke said, dragging Naruto along.
Neji replayed what Naruto had said after they were gone. Deciding to check if it was true, he went down on pretence of just taking a walk, which surprised everyone. While doing so, Neji read TenTen's mind and saw her past. It was indeed like what Naruto had said. After that, he left the house, which again surprised everyone.
"Where is he going?" Kiba asked.
"No idea. Just let him be." Kakashi replied.
Everyone except Naruto and Sasuke had puzzled looks after that, while Sasuke smirked at Naruto, giving him a triumphant smile.
'This means that tonight will be fun…' Sasuke thought, while Naruto pouted.
Neji went back to the place where he found TenTen's body and started tracing back to her house. Deciding to keep as low profile as possible, he rang the doorbell and a big fat and awful looking guy answered the door.
"What do you want? Get lost if you want to sell things, boy."
Neji flared, showing his teeth and shouted, "I'm way older than you, so stop calling me a boy."
Neji charged towards the guy and sucked his blood, after which he tore his body apart. (A/N: see why this fic is rated M? too violent! Haha…)
Hearing all the commotion, TenTen's brother and his friends rushed out. Seeing all those people, Neji swore to kill all of them, taking revenge for TenTen.
Back in the Mansion
"Let's watch TV! I think there is a great movie in one of the channels." Naruto exclaimed.
"Yeah! I heard that too! Let's turn it on!" Kiba said excitedly.
They turned the TV on and it happened to be showing the news.
"Dang! The show hasn't started yet. Boring news." Naruto said disappointedly.
Just as Naruto went to find the most comfortable seat, the newscaster was reporting on a gruesome murder case in one of the neighbourhood. Many bodies were found, with body parts all around but without a single drop of blood.
"That was so cruel. I wonder if it was done by one of us." Ino said.
Looking carefully at the TV screen, the place reminded her of her dad's house and the sudden thought of him being killed made her horrified, despite the cruelty he had shown her. Just then, Neji returned, looking rather flushed. A sign of having just consumed blood.
"I brought ten bottles of blood back. Will leave them inside the cellar." Neji said.
"You were the one who killed my dad and brother, isn't it?" TenTen screamed, unable to control her emotions at all.
"So what if it's me? So what if it isn't? It is not like he treated you like his daughter. He didn't like you remember? Even if he's dead, it shouldn't affect you. Stop being so emotional and get lost." Neji said calmly.
"I hate you!" TenTen ran out of the mansion.
"TenTen! Wait for us!" The girls followed her.
Sasuke, upon hearing that, smirked and dragged Naruto into the bedroom doing you know what.
Neji continued his way into the cellar while Kiba, Shikamaru and Kakashi just exchanged looks.
At the garden outside the mansion
"TenTen! Stop running away from us!" Ino panted as TenTen stopped, upon hearing that.
"Why did he have to do that? Is he really crazy?" TenTen asked.
"Nope. It's not that. Maybe it was because of the fact that your dad betrayed you. Neji had a similar experience too. His dad died, leaving him all alone." Sakura said, while Hinata told the rest of the story.
"So since then he became like this?" TenTen asked.
"Yup! But he is still very nice, ya know. You just need time to know him." Ino smiled.
"Yup yup! Ino-pig is right! Let's just go back inside. The sun is coming up. We need to sleep!" Sakura said hurriedly.
The four of them then ran back inside.
"Umm… then where do I sleep at today?" TenTen asked, feeling embarrassed.
"Hmm… Definitely not with me, cuz that perverted Kakashi will definitely wanna ahem with me. Ino-pig and Hinata will probably do so with their lover boys too. The guest room is extremely untidy so the only place left is Neji's room." Sakura said.
"With Neji? He will probably kill me." TenTen trailed off.
"Don't worry, take it as the time to chat with him. We are going off now! Have fun!" Ino said and they ran away.
Sighing, TenTen headed towards Neji's room, feeling nervousness towards him for the first time. After entering, she realised he was in there and began to stutter.
"The girls told me to sleep here."
"Hn."
"So I take it as a yes."
"Hn."
"Can I share the bed with you?"
"…Hn." Neji was surprised but tried not to show it.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?" Another surprise.
"Sorry for screaming and being really emotional at you just now. Thanks for taking revenge for me too, even though I preferred it less brutal."
"Who said I took revenge for you? I just did that because those idiots annoyed me." Neji lied.
"Anyways, goodnight, or should I say 'good morning'? Oh well. Sleep tight." TenTen mumbled while snuggling under the covers.
"Hn." And Neji went to bed too, feeling weird as a girl was sleeping next to him. This made him harder to sleep, especially with all the stupid noises made by the nearby rooms.
'I shall train her in her vampire skills when we wake up' and with that, he tried to force himself to sleep.
