Chapter Five: Help, Tenten-chan!

It was a beautiful Sunday morning for Tenten and Sasuke. Sasuke went to the grocery store to buy what they need because they were almost out of stock. Tenten was watching a movie when someone knocks on the door. She stood up and went for the door and opened it. She was surprise to see Hinata standing there fiddling her fingers.

"Hey, Hinata come in. What can I do for you?" Tenten asked and opened the door wide for her to enter. Hinata entered and offered a smile at Tenten. "Sit down while I get you some juice."

"Ah, its okay, Tenten-chan." Hinata said but Tenten went to the kitchen anyway. She came back with two orange juices on a tray.

"Here, Hinata." Said Tenten and sat beside her. They chat at random topics before Hinata told Tenten her problem.

"T-Tenten-chan, I've a problem." She said shyly and looked away. Tenten couldn't help but smile she looks so cute.

"What is it, Hinata?" Tenten asked telling her that she can tell her anything. Hinata's eyes started to water. Tenten started to panicked.

"I-I love Naruto-kun so much, Tenten-chan. He told me that he also love me." Hinata said while trying to control her tears.

"What's the problem with that?" Tenten asked slightly confused.

"Neji-nii-san already found out that we are together. He threatened me that he will tell father if I didn't break up with Naruto." Hinata said stifling a sob. Tenten's heart sank. She ushered Hinata to go on. "You see, my father doesn't want me to be with any guy especially Naruto-kun. He said that he is not the one for me. If-If Neji-nii-san told my father about us he'll send me away from Naruto-kun. He'll transfer me to another school. I don't want that, Tenten-chan. I can't afford to leave Naruto. I just can't." Hinata couldn't take it anymore that she cried and Tenten hug Hinata, hushing her.

"It's okay, Hinata. It's okay. Tell me, what I can do to help both of you?" she asked; Hinata stared at her with a face full of hope.

"Tenten-chan, I know that Neji-nii-san will listen to you if you told him not to tell my father, please convince Neji-nii-san not to tell my father about me and Naruto. Please, Tenten-chan you're the only girl he talks to me besides me." Hinata begged. Tenten's eyes start to water too. She only met the girls a week ago but they treated her like their own best friend and she was grateful for that. She stares at Hinata for a while; she can feel Hinata's pain.

"Hinata, I'll do my best to convince Neji. Don't cry now. You and Naruto won't be separated with each other." Tenten assured her but Hinata started to cry harder.

"Thank you, Tenten-chan. Thank you!" Hinata said and hugged her. Tenten rubbed her back and hushed her. Hinata stop crying now.

"Say, since you're here, do you want to watch a movie?" Tenten suggested "That is if you're not busy."

Hinata shake her head. "No, I'm not busy. I would love to watch a movie with you, Tenten-chan."

Tenten beamed and pick up Sasuke's and her DVD's and CD's and put it in front of Hinata. Hinata started look for a movie. She picked "Waiting for forever". Then they started to watch.

They heard a car pulled through the drive way. "I guess Sasuke's back." Tenten said and smiled at Hinata; Sasuke entered the house and was surprise to see Hinata.

"Oh, hey, Hinata," Sasuke said politely. Hinata smiled and said 'Hi'. Sasuke went to the kitchen to put the grocery down. After the movie, Hinata bid them good bye and said that she was to meet Naruto at a ramen shop. That night, Tenten think of a way to convince Neji. She fell asleep without a plan.

"Hey, guys!" Tenten greeted everyone when she and Sasuke arrived. "You guys are early."

"Hn."

"Troublesome."

"Hello, Tenten-chan."

"Yo!"

"What's up?"

"Hey, Tenten."

"How's it going?"

"Hi!" were the answers that Tenten got from her friends. Sasuke grunted at them saying 'Morning'.

"You look grumpy today, Teme." Naruto said and punched Sasuke lightly at his shoulder. Sasuke grinned and turns to look at Sakura who looked away then back at Naruto.

"Not really, Dobe." He replied then both started throwing insults at each other; both ended up laughing. Everyone sweat dropped. I don't know how they became best friend when they were throwing personal and confidential insults at each other. They have no shame, Tenten.

She sighed and turned toward Neji who was staring at her. She smiled but Neji didn't return it, instead he raised an eyebrow. Wow, what happened yesterday? Tenten thought sarcastically. She looked away and saw Hinata and Naruto laughing together; she smiled softly and was determined to convince Neji no matter what.

Neji was staring at Tenten with those great white orbs of his. He really admired how she looks, how her hair was tied up into two unusual buns and how her hazel eyes glint every time she gets happy or excited.

She's so beautiful –wait! Neji are you falling for her?

No!

Yeah?

Yeah! Does she even know how beautiful she looks?

I think not better be there always to tell her that.

Oh shut up me.

Tenten turns and saw him staring at her. He froze at his spot when she smiled at him. That one word –what is it? Cute? Nah, Adorable. Her adorable smile; Neji didn't know how to react so he just raised his eyebrow and mentally cursed himself when Tenten look away. Then the first bell rang. Everyone scurried inside the campus.

LUNCH!

Everyone sat at a table near the window; girls are chatting animatedly while the boys were discussing some boys stuff. But Tenten remained quiet, thinking of a way to convince Neji but can't because it is too loud inside the cafeteria.

"Neji, this coming basketball season." Sasuke started; Neji looked at him. "I heard that KU will be fighting SU. When do we start training?" (AN: KU is Konoha University and SU is Suna University.)

"Yeah, you're the captain." Kiba said; he is also a member of the basketball team, so is Naruto and Shikamaru.

"I will have to ask coach about it. Besides we still have five months to train." Neji said calmly. The other boys agreed.

"SU huh?" Temari said, everyone looked at her. "That's where my brothers attend school. I heard that my little brother Gaara is also a part of their basketball team too." She said happily.

"Can we come and watch you train?" Ino asked.

"Yeah, sure you can, babe. But please try not to distract us." Kiba said to the girls; the Ino and Sakura squealed. Then out of stupidity, Tenten stood up, knocking out her chair. Everyone stares at her with a confused look; she blushed.

"I have to go, see you!" She said quickly; she smiled at them sheepishly before she ran out of the cafeteria. She doesn't know where she was heading. She just needs a quiet place to think of a way to convince Neji and the cafeteria is not the place.

Neji stares at her retreating back, something is bothering her and he wants to find out what it is. He excused himself and walks the path Tenten took.

She found herself sitting under a tree at the school garden. The garden is so peaceful and quiet and smells like flowers. She found herself wanting to take a nap but shook her head.

"Okay, Tenten, think! Think!" she said and started brainstorming. She closed her eyes; she was so focused on thinking that she didn't felt someone sat beside her. Someone cough startling Tenten. She tilted her head and saw Neji sitting next to her.

"Oh my Gods, Neji you scared me!" she said and sigh.

Neji just sat there and closed his eyes. Jerk, didn't even say sorry for scaring me Tenten stares at him for a while then out of nowhere, she started poking his cheek.

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

Po- Neji grabs her wrist; he opened his eyes and looked at Tenten. "Your cheek is so soft, Neji!" she said cheerfully and started poking him on the cheek again.

"Tenten." Neji warned; he grabbed both of her hands. Tenten pouted when Neji gripped her hands tighter when she tried to pull away. Maybe this is the time to convince him.

"Hey, Neji. I want to ask you a favor." Neji looked at her with curiosity. "Will you promise me that you will do it?"

"As long as it is within my powers." He said softly; Tenten smiled.

"Neji, please don't tell Hinata's father that she and Naruto are together." She said softly. Neji stiffen and his face hardens.

"Tenten, we've talked about this." Neji snapped at her.

"But, Neji please. Don't do this to the both of them." She pleaded; she clutches his arm. Neji sigh angrily.

"Tenten, I thought you already understand!" he almost yelled at her. Tenten bit her tongue before she could say something harsh for yelling at her.

"I do understand. But can't you see that Hinata is happy? Why would you take away her happiness?" Tenten said softly. "Besides, they're still young. At least give Hinata a chance to be happy."

"No, Tenten. I am going to tell Uncle Hiashi whether you like it or not." Neji snapped harshly. Tenten pouted and didn't talk for a minute. Neji thought that Tenten would stop bugging him but was surprised when she spoke up.

"Why are you so cold-hearted, Neji?" She asked a bit cold and harsh; Neji stared at him with disbelief. "Why would you take your cousin's happiness away? Are you really that cold-hearted jerk?" she said while jabbing his finger in his chest. Tenten got really angry when she can't find any guilt or any emotion on face. "I can't believe you! You're so mean! Ugh! You're such a jerk!" and with that Tenten stood up and stomp her way out of the garden.

Tenten was walking at the hallway when she saw Hinata. She ran to her. "Hinataaaaa~!" she wailed and hug her. "I'm sorry, Hinata. I tried my best to convince Neji but seeing that he is a cold-hearted jerk he told me that he will tell your father whether I like it or not!" she said sadly; Hinata's shoulder slumped down.

"I-it's okay, Tenten-chan. A-at least you tried your best." Hinata said and sighed sadly.

"But don't worry, Hinata! We're not giving up, okay?" she said encouragingly. Hinata half smiled at her and told her that she was late in class. "Okay, I'll see you later." Hinata nodded sadly and walked away.

Tenten went through her next subject too. Fortunately, the teacher was late. She saw Neji sitting at his usual seat near the window. She always sat beside him but not today, she sat next to Sakura whose seat is at the other side of the room.

She looks at Tenten with a confused look; she's obviously confused of why Tenten's not sitting besides Neji. Tenten just pouted, saying she will tell her later. Sakura nodded then the teacher came in and they started the class.

"So, tell me now." Sakura said while they were walking along the corridor. Tenten told her Hinata's problem and her plan to convince Neji.

"Why that conceited jerk!" Sakura huffed in annoyance.

"I know! He is such an ass! I want to strangle him on the neck when he said those at my face. To hell with him!" Tenten said; Sakura giggled at her words.

"Tenten, let's talk." Said someone behind their back, when they turned around they saw Neji with a grim face. He must've heard everything that they were saying. Sakura gulped and back away slightly.

Tenten keep a straight face, "Sorry, Neji. I'm busy." And with that, she grabs Sakura and started walking away. But Neji caught her wrist and dragged her the other way.

"Let go of me, Neji! Sakura help!" she turned around to see Sakura who was about to follow them but was stopped by Sasuke who was grinning ear to ear while looking at them. Tenten glanced at Sasuke with betrayal.

"I told you we need to talk." Neji said calmly; pulling her as if he was pulling nothing despite her attempt to free her wrist from his iron grip.

"And I told you I'm busy!" She said stubbornly; Neji smirked and kept on dragging her.

They arrived at the back of the gym where no one can see. He pushed her on the wall and put his hands on the wall at both side her face, trapping her. Tenten gulp and stares at him.

"Neji, let go of me, please." Tenten almost pleaded. Neji stared at her with a frustrated look before smirking.

"What will I do to you?" Neji said while smirking as he gazes down on her lips; he lowered his head slowly at her. Tenten's heart started to beat faster. She put her hands on Neji's chest to stop him.

"Neji, please stop. Someone might see us." Tenten said frantically while looking at the surrounding.

"I'll give you deal, woman. I won't tell Uncle Hiashi about Naruto and Hinata if..." Neji said; Tenten beamed at him and Neji smirk. "If you would let me kiss you every time I want to." Tenten's smile faded and stared at him with wide eyes.

"What?!" Tenten almost screamed. Neji's smirk grew wider.

"That's my condition, lady. It's either you accept it or not." Neji said and stood up straight. "It's okay if you don't accept my condition. But that means I will tell Uncle Hiashi about Naruto and Hinata." He said confidently.

"O-okay! Okay, I accept your deal! Just don't tell your Uncle about Hinata and Naruto." Tenten said frantically. Neji grinned and trapped her again. Tenten gasped softly as her heart started to pound wildly and she feared that it would pop out anytime.

"I want to kiss you now, Tenten." Tenten prepared herself; she licked her lower lip. Neji's head inches towards her until their lips were just millimeters away. His hot breath fanning her face.

Tenten closed her eyes and waited for Neji's lip. He licks her lower lips before capturing it fully. Tenten's eyes were wide as Neji kissed her; slowly she closed her eyes and savors this moment. At first it was slow and gentle but when Tenten put her arms around Neji's neck, their kiss become wild and hot.

Neji grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to his body. Tenten wake up! You're kissing a guy you barely knew! Tenten's right mind scolded but she shrug it off and kiss Neji more passionately.

When Tenten thought she would die of suffocation, Neji withdraw slightly both catching their breath. Tenten was blushing furiously at Neji. He licked her lower lips before delving in again, his tongue asked for entrance and she granted it by opening her mouth. Their tongues were battling in dominance.

Their hands started to roam on each other's body. Neji lowered his head to kiss her neck, Tenten moaned and arch her body towards him; her mind went blank but something was bugging her. Neji was about to unbutton her shirt when someone coughs that made Neji and Tenten withdraw in surprise.

Shikamaru was leaning against the wall with a bored look on his but at the same time is smirking.

"Having a good time?" he said then yawns. Tenten stares at the ground in shame and tried to straighten her hair and clothes. Neji just look calm; his hair is a mess but he still looked hot.

"What are you doing here? Can't you see we're busy?" Neji said grimly. Shikamaru grinned.

"Of course you are and you two were so busy that you didn't hear what the principal announced. Class is canceled for an unknown reason." Shikamaru chuckled softly. Tenten gasped and ran back to the building to find the others. Neji watched her leave.

"Thanks for your timing, Shikamaru." Neji sigh in relief. "I would have gone far if you didn't come."

"You're losing your grip, man." Shikamaru said.

"I lose control whenever she was near. I feel the need to protect and take care of her. I don't know what's happening to me, man." Neji confessed; Shikamaru stared at him before tapping him on the shoulder.

"You're falling for her, man. Beware, women are troublesome." Shikamaru said; Neji sighed again. Am I really falling in love with Tenten? He thought. He arranged his hair and polo before turning around to face Shikamaru.

"Thanks. Don't tell the others." With that Neji walked away.

I can't believe it! I almost submitted myself to a man I barely knew again! Damn! I hate myself! She cursed herself silently while walking to where Sasuke's car is parked. Everyone is there chatting animatedly even Neji is there; then Hinata saw her.

"Tenten-chan!" Hinata called; she hugged Tenten tight.

"Hinata? What's wrong?" She asked worriedly. Everyone except Neji, Shikamaru and Sasuke grinned.

"Thank you, Tenten-chan! Neji-nii-san told me that he will never tell father." Hinata happily said while jumping up and down. Tenten chuckled.

"Thank you, Tenten so much." Naruto said and smiled at her.

"Uhm, y-you're welcome?" She said unsure at them but smiled afterwards.

"To celebrate, let's go to our house today. Everyone will be going too." Hinata said with a pleading eyes; Tenten sigh, she can't say no to that face.

"Okay." She answered; everyone except again Neji, Shikamaru and Sasuke cheered.

Until next time!

I'll update as soon as I can :D
