A/N: I know it's been like so long since I've updated to this story but I lost interest and still can't get really interesting again since it's a straight coupling. More into yaoi and Prince of Tennis to get back into Naruto. Sorry if the way I wrote this ending sounds different from usual since my writing style changes every year. Also I've rewritten the ending from the one I had from the last chapter since I was really unsatisfied. The alternate ending will also be typed up whenever I can remember what I had thought of and if I can get myself to type it. Oh so sorry that its taken me so long to and thank you for all the readers who are still interested in this fanfic, I'll try my best to make it a better ending.

An Ending's Beginning

It had been four hours yet Tenten still did not awake from her slumber. She was so close in revealing what Sasuke's true intentions were but the poison took its toll. Neji was the one to bring her in to the infirmary as Sakura and Naruto quickly ran toward Tsunade's office to get her to check Tenten as fast as then could. Tsunade arrived momentary after Neji placed Tenten onto the infirmary's bed. She walking in as Neji grabbed a seat and sat to the left of Tenten, her hand in his gripped tightly as if to try and not lose her hand for any reason.

"Neji it's alright now move aside and let me have a look. Please wait outside." Tsunade said walking over, however Neji was reluctant to let go. Somehow though Tsunade was able to persuade with a great amount of force and pain but persuaded him to leave the room for a moment. Neji left the room silently slightly frustrated with the way he responded when the Hokage kicked him out since usually with due respect he would oblige to the Hokage's orders without hesitation but he really didn't want to leave Tenten's side for a moment even if she was awake. On his way to a seat next to the room Shizune who held Ton Ton walked over to him.

"Don't worry, Tsunade knows what she is doing." Shizune said smiling as Ton Ton make a cute little squeal to agree. Neji smiled at the little animals attempt to cheer him up.

"Thank you."

Half an hour passed by before Neji heard the door to Tenten's room creep open. Those thirty minutes seemed like an endless amount of hours, even days as he waited patiently to hear news of Tenten's condition.

"She is in stable condition, a few nights rest should help. Tenten will probably wake up in a few days. I think you should do the same and get some rest." Tsunade said as she stood in front on Neji. "You don't have to worry, nothing is damaged."

Neji felt something inside him seem to get lighter and he bowed in gratitude. His heart seemed to just relax from its constricted hold and he felt relieved. He quickly got back up and moved from being in front of Tsunade and headed back into Tenten's room hastily to be by her side again.

"Neji, do you need me to take a look at your right arm?" Tsunade asked from the doorway. "I can see that it stopped bleeding but it would be wise if you got it checked out so that the wound does not get infected."

"No, I'm alright."

"Have it your way then it you wake up tomorrow with an infection." Tsunade said little pissed at the tone of Neji voice when he said he was alright. Tsunade though it was a little arrogant of him, she was offering help but he wouldn't take it. Fine be it that, but if he starts moaning about pain she will rub it in his face.

"Hyuugas" She grunted once away from the room, Shizune followed behind.

Two days passed but Tenten didn't stur from her slumber and Neji was on the verge of destroying a whole village out of anger yet he stayed by her side scared that she might awaken when he was away and he wanted to be the first one she saw when she arose. Neji kept hold of her hand the whole time. He wouldn't move and if it weren't for Naruto, Sakura, Lee and Gai-sensei bringing him food and forcing him to eat, he probably wouldn't have even eaten. The only time he really left her side was to use the bathroom since human nature is something no human can deny.

On the morning of the third day Neji couldn't help but fall asleep from exhaustion, staying up two days after a fierce fight finally took its toll on him and unconscious to him, he fell asleep. Neji's head laid upon the bed with only his right hand on top of her left. Later on in the afternoon Naruto and Sakura arrived with a bag full of food, Sakura thought it'd be a good idea to eat with Neji today to see how he was feeling. Sakura could tell he was really concerned and it would be better it Naruto cheered him up, or make it worse and Neji end up hurting Naruto. It would be a good this that they were in the hospital already then.

"Oy Neji we brought lots of food and ramen!" Naruto shouted as he burst into the room. Sakura following after ready to hit him to causing such a commotion. Most of the nurses and patients were staring at the loudmouth. When she caught up to Naruto she gave him a good punch to the back of the head.

"Oww Sakura, what was that for?!" Naruto shouted.

"Loudmouth you're causing attention and what if you woke up other patients here. This is still a hospital you know idiot." Sakura shouted back with anger in her eyes. Naruto took a step back scared of what she might do next.

"Ehh I didn't mean to." This was when Sakura turned her attention way from Naruto and looked over to Neji's usual spot to see him asleep. This was a slight surprise to her since usually Neji was awake and would never let anyone catch him asleep especially when he was looking to innocent holding Tenten's hand with his head atop his left arm completely asleep.

"NEJI WAKE UP IT'S…" Naruto was cut off by Sakura's hand muffling his voice and holding him still as to stop his ruckus.

"Sakura,…let go." He was able to get out through her hand.

"Shut up can't you see he's sleeping. He probably hasn't had a nap since now, its best not to wake him up."

"Won't he be hungry?"

"Sleep is the best thing for someone like him right now.

"Alright, but I still get to eat the ramen right even his share if he doesn't wake up yet right? Right?" Sakura sighed at Naruto's childish antics but agreed.

"If he doesn't wake up then fine, you can have his." Sakura couldn't help but smile, no matter how dumb Naruto acted it still put a smile to her face to see him be able to stay happy and ignorant even in situations like this. As they were about to leave they heard someone start to move as though they were waking up. Sakura and Naruto turned around to see that instead of it being Neji would most likely start yelling at them for the noise and that they might wake Tenten, that it was Tenten who started to move around in the bed and slowly start to open her eyes slowly.

"Hmm" Tenten groaned before moving into a sitting position on the bed and opened her eyes fully. "Huh? Who are you?"

"Tenten you're wake." Sakura said and walked back into the room. Neji started to grumble and opened his eyes to see that Tenten was awake. What woke him wasn't the shouting but because he felt something missing from his right hand since when Tenten sat up her hand moved out of Neji's hand.

"Tenten." He whispered still feeling the side affects of his sleep.

"Who…is that?" Tenten looked at him confused, the room seemed to become completely filled with silence as the three of then looked at Tenten is shock.

A/N: Well this is the real ending that I can be satisfied with, I still thing leaving it this way is good but it does seem like I can write a sequel to it but unless I can get back into this pairing it won't happen anytime soon. An alternate happy ending will be done if I can get myself to stop being lazy and write it already but I'm still not completely sure of what I had wanted to end it like since it's been such a long time I don't remember the idea I first had so I have to think of another one. But it will be a happy one for the people who feel unsatisfied with these kinds of endings. Till then thank you for those who continued to read this.
