Chapter 16 -Laughter: The best medicine-

'AREN'T YOU GOING TO FIGHT?' Feliia's voice echoed in his mind 'YOU LOVE HER DON'T YOU?'

It was late at night and Neji was making his way back to the inn after a day of surprises.

'WELCOME BACK!' Lee greeted as Neji opened the door

Neji didn't reply. Neji was expecting Lee to annoy him about not greeting him back, however Lee was to busy with his teddy bear to complain.

'What's in the bag?' Lee asked not turning away from his bear

'Candles' Neji replied

'Candles?' Lee repeated turning his head

'This city gets it powers from the endless amount of chakara from the scroll' Neji explain

'Oh so that why we got artificial lighting' Lee replied as he stuffed in stuffing for the bear.

'Tomorrow the ritual so they removed the scroll in preparation so no power' Neji threw the candles to Lee

Neji looked around 'Where's Tenten?'

'She not home yet…' Lee replied has he placed the candles and his bear on the kitchen counter. Then got on a chair to put the candle in the top cupboard.

'Stupid girl…if she seen…'

'STOP!' Lee cried out in surprised '…Did you just call Tenten stupid?' Lee had never heard Neji call Tenten any names before.

Neji didn't reply

'Neji something wrong?' Lee asked

'Nothing'

'What's wrong?...Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!'

'ALRIGHT… to tell you the truth I'm quite irritated' Neji replied truthfully

'Why?' Lee asked

'Just I saw Tenten and…' Neji began, only to stop when he saw Lee get up 'Lee…were you listening?'

'Yeah that why I'm getting chocolate' Lee replied walking to the door

'What?'

'I heard from Tenten chocolate good for broken hearts'

'…' 'MY HEART'S NOT BROKEN!' Neji cried in defense

'but but but I heard 'Tenten' followed by an 'and''

'What's with everyone and hypothesizing I have feeling for Tenten?' Neji asked angrily

'Well if it was just me thinking that way…but you say everyone…that means…NEJI LOVES TENTEN!' Lee teased

'IT'S NOT LOVE' Neji replied. Neji was really annoyed and had to escape.

He went to door and opened it, only to have Tenten came falling in

'Tenten…'

Their eyes connected

LETS BEGIN THE COUNTDOWN!

ONE… Breath/ What is she staring at?

TWO… Keep it up Tenten/ Must be my imagination

THREE … Two more seconds/ STUPID FELIIA. STUPID LEE

FOUR… STUPID FELIIA/ No she definitely staring

FIVE….Their gaze was broken

I can't believe I turned always first again! Tenten thought to herself as she mentally slapped herself

What was that about?... Why did I turn? Neji asked himself

Both Neji and Tenten had turned on five, so Tenten was unable to see Neji reaction

'Where were you tonight?...' Neji asked with his head still turned 'We're supposed to go in hiding… What if one of the successor seen?'

'I was with Feliia…' Tenten said with her head still turned

'WHAT!' Neji spun his head around

'Tenten Feliia's a successor' Lee explain

'It's ok…I told her' Tenten explain

'WHAT!' Both Lee and Neji cried

'No no no…' Tenten said a little panicky 'I just said that we were leaving tonight to get home in the morning'

Neji didn't replyand went to his bed

'Neji…' Tenten called '…are you mad?'

Neji did not replied

'Neji!' Tenten called louder

Lee placed his hand of Tenten shoulder to reassure her. Tenten felt hurt inside and she could feel tears swelling up 'I didn't mean to stuff up… Lee...and and and Feliia… '

'Try what?'

'AH! TSUKI!' Feliia exclaimed

'Try what Feliia?' Tsuki repeated his previous question

'Umm...Uh...Eto...Ara...' Feliia tried to make up a sentence CRAP CRAP CRAP what is say?... I'm in deep doo doo now...

'Ah- Try drinking tea for her monthly thing OK?...WOULD YOU LIKE DETAILS HUH?' Feliia screamed out in nervousness 'YOU SEE EVERY MONTH FEMALES…'

'Shut up Feliia' Tsuki said in embarrassment 'Did you guys talk about anything else?'

'You mean you?' Feliia said 'You're so vain'

'Shut up' Both to them laugh out loud, there was something humourous about the situation. They haven't really spoken to eachother in years and the fact that they could still be so relaxed around eachother suprised the both of them. 'We haven't laugh like this in years'

'Two years Tsuki…not since I became the successor' Feliia said 'and not since you thought of this plan'

Tsuki gave a snug smirk and shrugged 'Well you don't have to do it you know… I've changed since then'

'So have I' Feliia replied 'although my motive have change…But I still want those scrolls' Feliia tone changed 'Aren't you happy?'

'Hey if you want them... I'll be there to help'

'Tsuki...' Feliia was touched by his words.

'What?' Tsuki asked

'...you really changed...you used to be so bitter after I became the..you know what...and now...'

'I just need time...and now I'm able to laugh about the whole situation'

'Laugh?'

'Yeah you know the whole sole mate thing, promise we made to get married...just something dumb kids could make up'

'I don't think it stupid' Feliia said angerily

'Come on Feliia...Do you honestly still believe that if two people are in love the cosmo will guide them and look after them?...Destiny and Fate are overrated. If destiny was so we would continue our lives protecting the scrolls...'

'so we're going against fate?' Feliia questioned

'Well you want the scrolls no?'

'I still believe the destiny plays apart... it just works different'

Tsuki placed his hand of Feliia head, like aparent to child'Ok Feliia...I won't crush you ideals'

'Do you think of us anymore Tsuki?' Feliia asked out of the blue

Tsuki removed his hand 'There is you...there is me...there no us' Feliia felt Tsuki's bitterness returning, she didn't want to remember him think way

'Are you ready for tomorrow?' Feliia ask to change the subject

'Don't worry…everything is going as planned' Tsuki sighed

'Are you having second thoughts?' Feliia asked with genuine concern

'No it fine… lets go it getting really dark and the scroll it being taken out soon…'

Tenten had retreated to the bathroom to avoid the awkwardness that she was feeling being in the same room as Neji.

She submerged herself in the bath. She was not as upset at the fact she potentially stuffed up the mission then Nejinot talking to her. She can up for air and closed her eyes before going under the water began

Oh This is so bad… Everything was suppose to be normal if I didn't tell…ARG! I'M SO STUPID!...Can't tell him, can't do the mission right…can't even stop from freaken turning in five freaken seconds…

I should tell him it gotta be better then this…it gotta be…uh-

Tell came back up for air. Stupid Tenten you gotta breath…

All the sudden the room became dark, the lights had turn off

What the- An enemy?... Lee…Neji

Tenten quickly got out of the bath and wrap a towel around her and went to see if the boys we're ok.

'LEE? Where did you put the candles?' Neji asked Lee

'SOME ARE ON THE COUNTER! AND SOME IN THE SHELVES' Lee shouted back

'Why did you put them in different places?' Neji asked as he felt he way to the kitchen

'I GOT DISTRACTED…YOU WERE HAVING A PROBLEMS OF THE HEART!'

'I was not!' He replied standing of a chair while he reached for the candles

'Neji! Lee!' Where are you?' Tenten called holding a kunai

'Kitchen' Neji replied trying to feel the candles.

'Neji? Why are the lights…Ouf' Because it was so dark she didn't know where she was going and knocked into the chair Neji was on.

Neji lost his balance and fell on his back

'Neji?...' Tenten ran forward only to trip over the fallen chair and straight on to Neji…and accidentally elbowed Neji in the stomach.

Tenten felt around 'Oh crap!...Please don't tell me I fell on top of Neji with enough but a towel and kunai in my hand…'

Neji didn't reply he was in a lot of pain.

Lee came in with a match and lit up a candle, unfortunately Lee accidentally picked up his bear instead!

'Lee! Fire!' Tenten called

'Yes Tenten we gotta use it becau-' Lee started

'NO SAKURA'

'Sakura?'

'NO! SAKURA! SAKURA BEAR!'

'NOOOOO! SAKURA!' Lee cried in pain

Tenten got up to help Lee only to knee Neji where it hurts (that right… his 'future asset').

'Omg Neji...' Tenten couldn't believe what she did

'SAKURA!' Lee cried

Sakura first...then Neji She thought to yourself

Shethrew the bear in a bucket of water and lit a real candle.

The candle illuminated the room it was a horrible mess. The kitchen was filled with smoke, there was a bear in a bucket of water, a tearful Lee (after having his bear burnt and watered), a very red Tenten (being in a towel and all) and poor poor poor Neji lying on the floor in the fetal position holding his 'precious jewels'. Yes, even THE Neji was not invincible.

Neji sat on the bed holding his 'assets'

'I'm so sorry Neji…' Tenten said holding an icepack 'Here let me ice it for you' she was just about to do so

'NO!' Neji stopped her. Taking the icepack away from here 'It not funny Lee' he told a laughing Lee rolling around on the floor

'Fire…Bear…Water' Neji said simply. Lee started to cry again and run off.

Tenten picked up the burnt bear. She stared at it and titled her head. She then shoved the bear in front of Neji face 'It looks better this way' Tenten smiled

Neji look at the bear 'The fire actually even out the ears' Neji smirked and Tenten laughed.

Tenten was so glad that Neji smiled. And that he was talking to her again.

'Neji… I should tell the something…' Tenten started

'ARCHOO' sneezed both Neji and Tenten

'sniff… Its cold stiff' giggled Tenten

'Well I can't help that' Neji said referring to where his icepack was placed 'whereas you Tenten…' Neji paused

'Huh?'

'Whereas you Tenten should get changed' Neji said hesitantly

Tenten looked down 'OMG' she still only had a towel on. She ran into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Neji smirked at her reaction

'STOP SMIRKING NEJI! I KNOW YOUR SMIRKING! STOP SMIRKING!' Tenten called from the bathroom.

'Tomorrow…be prepared for tomorrow' Neji reminded when everyone was in bed 'Lee you keep an eye on Hano… Tenten you got Tsuki'

'ACTUALLY!' Tenten stopped Neji quickly 'Can I not and look after Feliia'

'Don't you like Tsuki?' Lee asked

'I…'

Neji quick cut Tenten off 'Fine look after Feliia…lets go to bed'

Everyone blew out the candles and went to sleep

Tenten woke up late a night. She turned her head to Neji bed. Neji was sitting up in his bed with his eyes closed.

'Are you awake?...' Tenten asked

'Hm' Neji simply replied

Tenten got out of bed and went over to Neji. She sat behind Neji and leaned her back on his

'There something I gotta say…' Tenten began 'Ummm… because I don't like hiding secret from you and uh….'

'I don't like it when you hide secrets too' Neji replied 'Because you can't do it very well… what is it?' Neji asked thinking she was probably gonna tell him about Tsuki

'It's...umm...'
