As requested by BlitzenAngel, this is a follow-up (of sorts) to chapter two. In other words, it's NejiTen. I'm rather enjoying getting back to the humor side of my writing… Anywho, enjoy!

I do not own Naruto.

Tapestry

---Watching, Part Two---

It could not honestly be said that Maito Gai was unobservant. After all, he was a ninja; he had to be observant. It would be better to say that he, on occasion, didn't pay attention to certain signs of certain things. On a mission, he noticed everything. When it came to real life and the people he cared about… there were things he missed.

That is why he got a rather large surprise when he approached his team's old training grounds, where Neji and Tenten were supposedly honing their many skills, to inform his former students that Neji would soon be assigned as the jounin leader of a team of genin. Lee, well aware of what Neji and Tenten were actually doing, tried and failed to persuade his beloved sensei to wait and tell Neji the news later. Thus, when Gai burst onto the scene…

"Neji! What are you doing to our dear little Tenten?!"

Even Lee, who knew perfectly well how his teammates felt about each other, was surprised. "Neji! That is a most un-youthful thing to do!"

Gai grinned. "Actually, it is an extremely youthful action."

Neji hung his head. "This is not good."

Tenten smirked up at him. "It might help if you got off me."

"Right…"

It was too late, of course. All thoughts of Neji leading a team were gone. Instead, Gai was thinking of something else…

"Now you two must get married! It is the only appropriate- and youthful- thing to do!"

Tenten sighed. "Gai-sensei… Neji and I got married last week."

"What?! Why was I not informed?"

Neji tried to remain calm. "You were there… You got drunk at the reception and attempted to attack Kakashi."

"Ah! That makes sense! Well, I will leave you to your youthful activities. Come, Lee! We shall… run eight-hundred laps around the village!"

"Yes, Gai-sensei!"

They vanished. Neji and Tenten looked at each other.

"Tenten…"

"Yeah, Neji?"

"Our former sensei and our teammate just saw you without a shirt."

"… You're not wearing any pants."

"Ah. Touché."

I have possibly been watching too much Naruto Abridged, and Canadian Gangsta Lee (a creation of my friends; don't ask) may have taken over my brain. And this appears to be a crack-ish piece about a non-crack pairing. Hmm... I hope you all enjoyed it anyway, and thank you for reading. Please review!
