Tanzaku town
Neji woke next morning to feel something warm pressing against his side. He turned to see Tenten snuggled against him. Her hair was playing across his chin, with her arm over his chest.
Neji snickered and rose, gently laying Tenten down so as to not wake her. He then proceeded to exit the tent and start his morning routine.
About thirty minutes later, Tenten came out of the tent, in her new trademark outfit, to see Neji cooking fish over the fire. His hair was hanging loose, and he was wearing a new outfit. He was wearing forest-green cargo pants, with a cream-colored shirt with about two inches of fishnet on the sleeves. His forehead protector was still in its usual place on his head.
Tenten walked over to Neji, and took a seat next to him. He handed her a cooked fish with a "Good morning Tenten." She smiled and accepted the fish.
As the two ate their fish in silence, Neji dived at Tenten, knocking her to the ground, as three flaming shuriken occupied the space Tenten's head once had.
Neji stood up and activated his kekkai genkai, or bloodline trait. He looked towards where the shuriken came from to see three people in a tree. He nodded to Tenten, who performed a few hand signs and tossed a single shuriken at their attackers.
"Kage shuriken no jutsu!'' Suddenly, there were millions of shuriken flying towards the enemy. She performed a few more hand signs. "Goukakyuu no jutsu!" A giant fireball engulfed the shuriken as they sailed at the tree.
The fireball-shuriken combo impacted with the tree. Three screams were heard as three bloody and burned bodies tumbled out of it. Neji walked over to them and examined them. "Rouge Cloud ninja," he said, standing back up. He walked over to their packs, tossed the weapons mistress hers, shouldered his, and set off towards Tanzaku town, Tenten beside him.
As they walked towards Tanzaku town, the two were enjoying a pleasant conversation. "So Neji, do you…uh…like anybody in the village," asked Tenten. Neji stopped in his tracks, head bowed. "Who do I like," voiced Neji. " Well, I kind of like y-" before Neji could finish, a dozen kunai flew towards him, five imbedding themselves in his chest, two in each arm, and three in his left leg. "Ack!" Neji collapsed, coughing up blood.
Tenten rushed over to the genius, horror written all over her face. She picked Neji up, hoisted him over her shoulder, and sprinted until she found an inn.
Four hours later, around lunch, Neji woke to excruciating pain in his chest and limbs. He groaned, sitting up with great difficulty. "Neji!" Before he could fully sit up, he was back on his back again, a sobbing Tenten in his arms.
"Neji, I was so worried," sobbed Tenten. Neji reached up and started stroking her silky brown hair. "Shh, shh, I'm ok Tenten," he said. She continued to sob. "Neji, y-y-you st-stopped breathing, and I t-t-t-thought you were d-dead!" Neji rose into a sitting position, pulled Tenten into his lap, and started to rock her back and forth.
Tenten was surprised, to say the least, but it wasn't unpleasant. She sobbed into his shoulder some more, thankful that the one person she would ever like- no, love -was alive. She lifted her head to meet the Hyuuga's eyes. Neji lifted a hand and tucked a strand of Tenten's hair behind her ear. He then cupped her right cheek in his hand, and kissed her.
How long did that kiss last? Five seconds, five minutes, five hours? It didn't really matter to Tenten, though. Nothing else mattered to her except that moment. She reached her hands around his neck and sank into it. Neji wrapped his arms around her small waist. The two sat there kissing for about a minute before they stopped for a breath.
Neji pulled his lips away from Tenten's to stare into her brown orbs. Neji felt a sudden fatigue come over him, and he collapsed back onto his pillow, breathing softly. Tenten smiled, covered the Hyuuga prodigy with a warm blanket, and left to get something to eat.
Neji woke up later that night, feeling refreshed. He sat up, and looked around the room to see Tenten curled up in a chair, sleeping soundly. He looked beside her to see a pair of crutches. He limped over to them, placed them under his arms, and walked out the door.
He was on the first floor of an inn, with a stove, oven, and other kitchen material in the far right corner of the room. He hobbles over to the bar, grabbed an apple out of the basket, and, noticing a sliding screen door, hobbles over to it with the apple stem in his teeth.
He opened the door, and hobbled out onto the deck, and sat staring at the moon, eating his apple. He heard a cough behind him, and turned to see Tenten in the doorway. Neji gave her one of his VERY rare smiles, and beckoned her over. She walked over and stood beside him, leaning her head on his shoulder. They stood there and talked a little, and then Neji turned and hobbles back to his room, Tenten beside him.
Neji awoke next morning to hear birds chirping. He sat there for a while listening to the birds chirping. He then stood up, got dressed, and walked out into the lobby to get something to eat.
As he walked out into the lobby, he spotted Tenten sitting at a table eating a bowl of miso ramen. He limped over and sat beside her. A waiter walked up to him, and he ordered some miso ramen. "Did you have a good sleep," asked Tenten. Neji shrugged. "It would've been good had it not been for the pain in my body," he replied. The waiter returned with his ramen. Neji thanked her, ate his ramen, gathered their things, thanked and paid the owner, and then the two set off for Tanzaku town again.
"There it is," said Tenten, looking over a ridge. "Tanzaku town," said Neji.
