I realized that I've only done NaruHina and some Shikamaru bits, so I'm venturing into the territory of the other couples.

I've never written for NejiTen, and have never thought about it. But I was typing this out just to straighten out my thoughts and ideas, and it just clicked. So, be prepared for a little wave of NejiTen (three to four in a row, maybe)

Tenten had always had feelings for Neji, going back to when they were first placed on a team together, though back then it had only been admiration and respect, awed by the amazing genius of the Hyuuga and trusting his abilities completely since she was sure of his total victory.

That was, however, until Naruto came and put Neji in his place, showing him that he was throwing a tantrum like a child when he should truly be fighting like a man. Then Tenten had felt disbelief, pity, and worry, unsure of how her teammate would take to being beat by the one person with whom his victory had been assured.

But after that Neji had become a better person, a teammate who was not only dependable as a fighter but dependable as an individual and as a whole. He became a Neji who she had never seen before, a Neji who had begun searching for peace with his family and peace with who he was.

He had become a happier and looser person, though he still found a way to retain some of his stiff and prickly self, most likely because he didn't know how to interact with people without his mightier-than-thou attitude. But the most surprising change was that he began to smile -though such appearances were rare.

When she had seen his smile for the first time, Tenten had felt her heartbeat begin to quicken and swore to herself that she would quickly train off whatever it was that caused her to feel as if Hyuuga Neji's smile was beautiful, and she had sworn that admiration was as far as she'd ever let her feelings for the boy go.

Team Gai had quickly become better and stronger, each of them striving towards their goals, quickly racing towards the ends that only they could reach. Each of them were quick to pass at the next chunin exam and they promised to continue to train together even if missions pulled them apart.

When one day during training she had turned to see Neji going through the hypnotic dance like movements of his style she had stood there and watched him as if spellbound, one truth blazing a scorching path through her mind: She found Neji sexy.

She quickly went back to throwing miscellaneous weaponry at her target, though for the first time in years she had missed and in that moment she felt nothing for Hyuuga Neji other than disdain.

It was during a mission after the war, one of the missions where team Gai was all together, when they first kissed. She didn't know if she had moved or if he did, if she was the one who wanted it or if it had been him, but the next thing she knew they were kissing and all those emotions she had been suppressing came out in a giant wave.

This was the first time Tenten admitted that Neji was far more than a friend she simply admired for his fighting skills.

They had tip-toed around their relationship for weeks, not really knowing what to do or say around the other, and it was then that Tenten had felt exasperation towards Neji, which she had taken out on him in every way she possibly could before they finally set their relationship to rights.

Her feelings had continued to grow and grow during the years they were together, growing so big and uncontrollable that she had feared what would happen if Neji -the perfect, restrained, controlled Hyuuga that he was- found out. She feared that she would become controlling, trying to manipulate him like his family had, which would only end with him coming to hate her.

But the one that ended up breaking had been him.

She had never thought of him as the jealous type, the type to worry or fear as she had been. She hadn't thought of him being any type really, and she quickly learned the errors of such thoughts.

He was surprisingly jealous, a worrisome and petulant child when it came to their relationship -understandable when you took into consideration the way his family had been using him since a child and the suspicion that had grown because of it. Tenten had found his attitude cute, so unlike his usual stoic self that she had the sudden urge to hide away with him for a few hours and keep this new Neji all to herself.

Though she didn't mention this until after she was done trying to kill him for daring to think he could order her around.

People had never really questioned their relationship, thinking that they were a nice couple that would grow apart when Neji had to fulfill his duty as the genius of the Hyuuga clan, which obviously meant marrying a skilled Hyuuga and producing more little perfect Hyuuga clones. So to say that people had been shocked to find that they were suddenly married wouldn't have been stretching the truth.

Though to say that the clan had been merely upset would be; it had been more like they were overwhelmingly outraged.

The clan had gone up against them, screeching indignantly about the questionable nature of their union. They had demanded, they had cajoled, they had bartered, and ultimately they had threatened.

Tenten had nearly bowed out, nearly giving up at the danger threatening her new family, and she wouldn't have blamed him for doing the same.

But he had sat there, regal and powerful, and dared them to try and go through with such a threat.

And she had felt pride in the man she would from then on call her husband for the rest of her life.

But the most overwhelming emotion she had ever felt towards Hyuuga Neji was when, after thirteen hours of labor and four different attempts on his life by a certain weapon master, he had held their daughter in his arms for the first time.

He had held her as if she were the most delicate china, his arms crooked awkwardly as he tried to figure out how to hold her properly, his hands absurdly gentle as he parted the soft pink blanket to count her fingers and toes. His brilliant white eyes had looked upon her little red face with so much wonder, as if he couldn't quite believe she was really there, his lips slowly and softly forming her name as he whispered to her with such untainted adoration that tears formed in the corners of her eyes.

In that moment and in all of the moments before, after and until the day she died, she loved Neji like she knew she would love no other.

I read the translated manga (not the English version. America, or who ever prints it off, believes that everything must be changed and censored, so I don't bother with it), and I always read the names with the last names first, and I was worried that it was confusing some people. So I'm just wondering if you want it to be last name last or to just keep it the way I have been.

Kisses, hugs, and lots of love!
