Chapter 4: You Have to Be Kidding Me

"Are you sure you still want to do this Neji-chan?" Tenten asked walking next to Neji. Once Neji heard the way she called him, he froze. "What did you just call me?"

"Oh sorry about that Neji, I just thought it would sound more cu-fitting." Tenten said and laughed nervously at the way Neji stared at her.

"Humph, I may be half my height but I still need to train." Neji crossed his arms frowning. He knew his body was half of everything that meant his chakra was also halved.

"NEJI MY RIVAL, AND TENTEN THE FLOWER OF MY TEAM. I have finally found you." Lee jumped through a bush and landed in front of his teammates happily. "I was looking all morning at our usual training areas but you were no were in site."

Some reason Lee didn't notice the little Neji standing before him. "Neji, did something happen to you?"

With that, Gai-sensei entered the picture and jumped next to Lee. "WHAT'S HAPPENIN THERE MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS? How's it going?"

Both Tenten and Neji looked at them confusingly and sweat dropped. 'Do they have to shout every time they see us?' She thought sighing at her two look a-like teammates.

"Neji there is something different about you. Hmm now what is it?" Gai-sensei said as Lee agreed.

"Yes I noticed something different too." Both Lee and Gai-sensei were examining Neji up and down. This of course was making Neji both uncomfortable and pissed. He could feel his right eye twitching at there stares. Tenten had had enough and punched both of them on the head.

"Stop being so clueless!" Tenten shouted as both Gai and Lee held their head in pain.

"I get it now. Tenten you have confessed your undeniable love to-" Before Lee could finish Tenten hit him again.

"Idiot that's not what's different!" Tenten shouted as her cheeks heated up and started to turn red. Neji frowned at Lee's attempts to at figuring it out.

"Ahh I see. Neji you are much shorter then we last saw you." Gai-sensei said finally noticing that he had to look down more then usual to see Neji.

"Wow Gai-sensei you are so observant." Lee said amazed by his sensei.

"Yes Lee, watch and learn about my wonderful eye of observation." Gai-said standing proudly that he figured it out. From the side Tenten motioned Neji to just leave the teacher and student to their nonsense. Neji agreed and they easily walked away unnoticed as Lee and Gai-sensei started shouted each other's names and hugging. After like an hour, they noticed the two other team members missing.

"I wonder where the two of them went." Lee said looking around. He came up with an answer. "Ah THEY MUST BE ENJOYING THEIR YOUTH. Right Gai-sensei."

"Yes, SO SHALL WE. Let us run into the horizon." Gai-sensei said pointing toward the now setting sun.

"Right Gai-sensei." Lee saluted and the both of them started running. Strange, it was no where even near the time when the sun should be setting.

Okay, Anyways over to Neji and Tenten

Neji was walking with his hands in his pocket slightly annoyed by the intrusion from Lee and Gai-sensei. Was the world against him or something? All he wanted was to train in the morning and all this happened. Look at him, he was half the man he used to be. Literally. Sighing he stopped which caused Tenten who was walking next to him to stop too.

"What is it Neji?" Tenten asked curiously wondering why he would suddenly stop.

"Do you still have that cream that the Hokage gave you?" Tenten moved her hand to her weapon pouch where she also placed the container with the cream. She took it out and showed it to him.

"It's right here."

"Let's go to your house." Neji said. 'For now that cream is the only way I can get back to normal.'

"Alright." Tenten placed the container of cream back into her pouch and the two of them started walking to Tenten's house. On the way they could have sworn they heard Lee and Gai-sensei shouting something about youth. When they got to Tenten's house, she took out her key and opened the door for Neji. After he entered, she closed the door, then moved to make them something to eat.

"Neji you can sit anywhere. I'm just going to make something for us to eat." Tenten shouted from the kitchen. Neji just seated himself on the couch. He had been here only a few times to walk with here when they had to meet up with Lee and Gai-sensei but it still felt weird there. He looked around and observed everything. He house, or apartment really was a good size for one person to live in. The kitchen was near the door with the bedroom next to the living room. There was also a sliding window door that leads to the patio.

It only took a few minutes before Tenten came into the living room with a trey of rice balls and some water. She placed it on the table near the coach and sat next to Neji. Neji continued to just sit as she took a rice ball and eat it. It wasn't that he wasn't hungry because he was, it was just he didn't really know what to do.

"Neji I didn't poison it. Here." Tenten handed him one and he took it with two hands since the rice ball was slightly larger then one of his hands. He took a bit and chewed, then swallowed.

"It's good." He whispered. He wasn't good and complimenting things. Tenten smiled and took one for herself to eat. After finishing their lunch Tenten placed the trey back into the kitchen and took a seat back onto the couch. She folded her hands over each other and sat there quietly. Even though Neji wasn't his usual cold looking self considering he was chibified, it was still…uncomfortable yet comfortable sitting close to him.

"Oh um here Neji." Tenten said breaking the silence remembering the cream. "I almost forgot that you had to rub this on your skin. The bathroom is in the room connected to my bedroom."

Neji took the container as Tenten pointed in the direction of her room. Neji got off the coach and headed toward the bathroom. In the bathroom he started from the bottom up but when he got to his back it was somewhat hard. His arms weren't long enough, or maybe they weren't flexible enough but either way he couldn't get any on his back.

'You have got to be kidding me. If I can't get it on myself that means that she has to…' He didn't continue the thought as a blush appeared on his cheeks.

Neji put his shorts back on and just held his shirt and moved out of the bathroom to call for Tenten. First he decided to look for something to help apply the cream but he really didn't want to go through her bathroom things. He really didn't need to see what girls had in their bathrooms. Neji had a faint blush on his face as he moved to her bedroom door and peered out. Tenten was on her couch polishing her kunai.

"Tenten." He said calmly. Tenten looked up from her weapon to see only his head from the doorway. She really wanted to laugh at how cute that looked but decided it was best not to.

"I need your help." Neji had to choose specific words to use. He may be a kid but he still had his pride and dignity to protect.
