Chapter 20 -His Fight-

'Neji! Neji!'

Neji open his eyes. The sunlight stung his eyes. He quickly closed them again.

'Neji!'

Neji half opened his eyes allowing his pupil (correction: eyes :P) to against to light. A blurred figure towered over him.

'What are you doing Neji?' He could see the outlines of poom pooms

'Tenten?' Neji asked hopefully

'Tenten?...um-um…H-A-N-O' The little successor sounded out her name. Neji open his eyes fully to see the youngest successor towering over him, still wearing her hair in poom poom from the ritual.

'Hano…' Neji repeated. His heart sunk at the thought that Tenten was out there, fighting alone. Neji observed his surroundings. They were in some sort of run down building. 'Hano where are we?'

'I dunno… everyone was sleeping in a clearing when I woke up…'

'But this is a rundown sack' Neji pointed out

'DUH!' Hano teased at the obvious, a little mouse jump on her shoulder 'I summoned them to move us all here… for hiding'

'HANO!' Called a familiar voice

'Lee?'

Both Neji and Hano went outside to find Lee, Tsuki and Feliia

'NEJI! YOU AWAKE!' Lee cried with tears of joy

'Inside voice Lee' Neji reminded Lee

'NO INSIDE VOICE! LOOK!' Lee pointed to the town.

'There burning down the town!' Tsuki asked with concern

'No…It's too small…Smoke signals' Feliia corrected

'No…Smoke signals wouldn't be sequential' Neji pointed out 'There showing us the direction back to town… Byakugan!' Neji quickly zoomed his vision in to town. There was no fire and all the citizens were in the safety of there homes.

'Neji?' Lee said with a suggestive tone

'I know Lee' Neji replied. He continued to search the town. 'TENTEN!'

'You found her?' Tsuki asked quickly

'HOW IS OUR LOTUS FLOWER?' Lee asked

Neji smiled 'She fine…Well, she standing that a good thi-' Neji eyes quickly widened when his image of Tenten faded and turned into the veiled female ninja.

'WHAT IS IT NEJI?' Lee asked seeing Neji face of concern.

The female ninja turned her face to Neji's direction. Her eyes stared into his and she moved her lips, mouthing words before a sudden flash of light stung Neji's eyes.

'NEJI!' Lee asked 'WHAT? WHAT?'

'A trade' Neji finally replied 'A trade…That what the ninjas want'

'Tenten for the scroll' Feliia finished

'We can't do that…if the scrolls the wrong hands…then the town…the world…' Hano said in fear.

'That will not happen!' Feliia got up and reached for the scroll in Neji's pouch. Neji quickly grabbed her hand and pinned it behind her back.

'What do you want?' Neji said in a sinister tone

'I CARED FOR TENTEN TOO… very much so' Feliia replied honestly '…but one then millions!' Both Tsuki and Hano lowered their heads as in agreement of the awful truth

'We were always gonna destroy them Neji…' Tsuki finally raise his voice 'We can't choose Tenten! Neji we can't!'

'Tsuki-nii' Hano said sensing Tsuki's pain

Neji loosen his grip on Feliia 'Logically that is best isn't it?... Even if we trade the scroll they probably kill her anyway…along with millions of innocent bystanders'

'Neji…' Lee some what shock that it had to come to this

'But…' Neji tighten his grip 'I choose Tenten… over the world!' Neji threw Feliia into Tsuki and Hano. Lee followed up by throwing two smoke bombs at them. Neji and Lee ran out of the smoke.

'Lee?' Neji was surprised to see Lee follow his recklessness

'It was an obvious decision wasn't it?' Lee quickly replied

Neji smiled 'Yes…it was…'

The two ran quickly into town

'DAMMIT!' Feliia cursed she summoned Leo and jumped onto his back 'Hano stay here ok? Tsuki let go' Feliia reached her hand out at Tsuki

'The love I want is a love that selfless …' Tsuki spoke up '…That what she said…'

'Tsuki?…' Feliia said in a gentle tone

'Why?...why are you doing this?…' Tsuki asked still feeling very downhearted

Feliia's eyes soften 'So you can be free…'

Tsuki turned to her in shock.

'You always said you wanted to be free…Even if it not with me…I wanted you to be free'

'What are you gonna do now?' Tsuki asked to change the subject

Feliia smiled 'Neji made up his mind…then I'll have to support it… I'll protect his innocence…his pure love…'

'Why?' Tsuki asked

'Because he reminded me of a time long ago…'

Tsuki stared at her at the realization that Feliia still cared very much for him

'And beside it either fight him or support him' Feliia continue 'I'm not willing to have my arm broken' Feliia joked

Tsuki gave a slight smile 'SUMMONING!'

'Neji! Lee!' Tsuki called riding on a large wolf

'What do you want?' Neji asked bitterly

'You'll make it there twice as fast on Ren'

Neji and Lee stopped and eyed him

'And it will save your energy!' Feliia said riding Leo

Neji smirked. Lee gave his nice guy pose.

'WELCOME TO TSUKI AND FELIIA'S BEAST EXPREE!' Feliia said. Neji jumped on Ren and Lee on Leo.

All four then speeded to town.

'Neji…' Tsuki whispered

'What?' He replied emotionlessly

'Nothing'

The four had it to town and went straight away into hiding.

'What's the plan?' Feliia asked

'We trade…and prey for the best' Neji replied

'What religion do you prefer?' Feliia asked sarcastically

'Meaning you got no plan' Tsuki pointed out

'We can only plan so far…Feliia, Tsuki evacuate the town…we don't know the power of the scrolls. Lee and I will go to the temple, trade and possibly fight…'

'Wait!' Tsuki interrupted 'Remember last time?...They know your moves off by heart!'

'That why we do something unpredictable…' Neji then turned to Lee 'MY LEE!... You look thirsty!' Neji pulled out a bottle.

'NEJI THIS ISN'T THE TIME!' Lee shocked at Neji '...However yes… I am thirsty…'

Neji passed him the bottle of…well you know what (alcohol). Lee drunk it quickly and a few second later passed out.

'You killed him' Feliia said

'Help me get him on Ren…I just drug him' Neji replied

'Why Neji…here I thought you were the law abiding type' Feliia teased.

'Good luck' Neji said before riding off to the temple

'You could have asked!' Tsuki called at Neji lack of manners, taking Ren without permission.

'AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME A RELIGION!' Feliia called

Both Tsuki and Feliia gave each other a smile

'Let's get to work!' They ran into different direction.

'Well looks who here…' The masked ninja exclaimed

'Tenten…' Neji called as he dismounted off Ren making it to the temple successfully. Tenten was unconscious flouting on air with the veiled female ninja hand on her chest. 'What are you doing?' He interrogated

'Checking her out' She teased. Neji was not amused. Lee snored.

'During the fight I 'accidentally' stabbed her in the heart with one of my needles… nothing serious though' The masked ninja informed

'Not yet at least' The female ninja continue. She focused her chakara to her hand and Tenten yelled in pain. Damn her ability to deteriorate wounds!

The giant ninja looked at Ren and a sleep Lee. 'Wow! Are here I thought they fight…' The masked ninja mocked. Lee snored.

'Are we going to trade or not?' Neji said impatiently

'Give us the scroll…'

'Give me Tenten'

Once again the female ninja focus her chakara and Tenten screamed

'Comprise' Neji suggested 'You tie your free hand to your back and bring Tenten forward. You let go of Tenten and grab to scroll which I'm holding out.'

'Good comprise Boss' The female said to the masked ninja 'He won't do nothing if I can hurt her'

The giant ninja tied her free hand behind her back. Both Neji and Female ninja walk towards each other. Neji held out the scroll. The ninja floated Tenten over Neji arms. Quickly she released Tenten allowed her to fall into Neji arms and grabbed the scroll with her now free hand.

'Tenten! Tenten!' Neji helplessly called. Tenten had many bruises and cuts, not to mention her fingers.

'Your lucky I had to heal her serious wounds…didn't want the hostage to die' The female said hugging the scroll.

After a few second Tenten cough and open her eyes 'Neji?'

Neji sighed ahuge sign of relief

'I-' Tenten said ashamed 'I lost the scroll'

'I lost it too…more like gave it away'

The two were interrupted by a bright green light.

Out of town Feliia and Tsuki had successfully evacuated the town and saw the bright green light.

'Its-… there…combine…' Feliia started but could continue being overwhelmed with fear

Tsuki place his hand on Feliia's shoulder. He stared at the ominous light 'Lee, Neji…Tenten…'
