A/N: I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 5
Tenten and Sakura looked confused, "We have…company?" However, Sasuke knew Neji meant an enemy was cloaking himself.
Sasuke and Neji took a stance and was prepared for a fight. Neji saw the chakra system moving and immediately attacked it. He used Gentle Fist and cut off the opponents chakra flow. Neji had grown very strong over the years, and it was almost too easy for him. With that one powerful move, which was only supposed to damage the opponent's internal organs, Neji had killed him. Sasuke smirked, "You stole all my fun."
The opponent had become visible after he died, his dead body laying on the floor. His eyes were wide open. When he became visible, Sakura and Tenten jumped back a little. Sakura spoke up, "Um…let's…go back home tomorrow morning. I don't want to deal with any of this anymore."
Everyone agreed and took the shortcut down the side of the mountain, sending their chakra to their feet. They went back to their campsite, it was now night, and the sparkling stars showed brightly in the pitch black night.
"So what's for dinner?" Sasuke asked.
Sakura took a big stick she found on the floor, sharpened it, and with great accuracy, caught four fish on the same stick all at once.
Tenten's eyes widened, "Whoah! How'd you do that?"
Sakura blushed, "Practice."
Sasuke grinned, Sakura never ceases to impress me.
Sakura sharpened three more sticks she found and handed each one of them. She gave them each a fish to put at the end of their sticks to roast.
Sasuke gathered some branches he found into the designated spot for a fire pit, and used his Pheonix Immortal Fire to start a fire. Tenten kindled the fire with great care until it got big enough to roast the fish.
They all sat around the fire and held out their sticks as if they were roasting marshmallows. Sakura and Sasuke were sitting on one side of the fire, Tenten and Neji on the other. They had random conversations to avoid silence. Tenten rested her head against Neji's shoulder. She was pretty tired.
Sakura sat close to Sasuke. Tenten was watching them. She thought to herself what a cute couple they made. They're such good friends, and they are so comfortable intereacting with eachother. Sasuke burned his fish and pointed it at Sakura. She backed away and giggled. "Are you going to eat that?" she asked.
"Well, do you think I should?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't care what you eat," Sakura said.
Sasuke moaned, "Ok, just let me eat this burned fish and die of cancer. And it'll all be because you let me eat it."
Sakura giggled, "Fine, I'll get you another fish."
"Baka, I don't have enough patience to roast another fish. Just let me have part of yours."
Sakura smiled and took her fish away from the fire. She gave parts of it to Sasuke.
Tenten was watching all of this. They're so cute. Sasuke's brutal when he fights, but he's gentle and treats Sakura like a little girl. Sakura's innocent and is always kind to Sasuke. Since Sasuke's parents died, Sakura basically gave him a reason for living. They're perfect for eachother. Tenten thought harder about it, and she thought, I guess me and Neji are the exact same. He's tough, but gentle around me. And his dad died, so I'm another reason for him to stay alive. She smiled at this thought and continued to eat her fish.
When they had finished eating, they decided to go to bed. Sasuke groaned, "I don't want to sleep with the Hyuuga, I want to sleep with you!" he said to Sakura.
Sakura blushed and before she could object, he lifted her up and took her inside one of the two tents. Tenten knew that he was making out with her.
Tenten held onto Neji's arm and they walked into the other tent. Suddenly they heard Sakura scream, "I FORGOT TO PACK A SLEEPING BAG!" and they could hear Sasuke say in a calmer tone, "Oh well, I didn't either."
Tenten giggled, until she realized she hadn't either. Apparently neither had Neji. Tenten cursed. "I can't believe it, I'm so stupid. How could I forget?" Neji smiled and wrapped his arms around her. She held onto him and kissed his lips passionately. His hand found the two buns in her hair and he quickly untied them, making her long wavy hair tumble down. He ran his fingers through it. Tenten found his hairtie and tugged it out, letting his hair loose. That was their goodnight to eachother, and she fell asleep with Neji's arms wrapped around her.
In the middle of the night, she was practically freezing to death. The shirt she had on was sleeveless and the lower part of her legs were cold because she was wearing capris. She was shivering like mad, but tried to go to sleep.
An hour after Tenten had woken up, Neji woke up to some vibrations. It was Tenten. She was asleep, but she was shiverng like crazy. She's gonna catch a cold, he thought. He slid his jacket off and put it ontop of her. She stopped shivering after a few minutes and he went back to sleep, rewrapping his arms around her under the jacket.
The next morning, Tenten woke up and found Neji's jacket ontop of her. She looked around at her surroundings, a bit confused. What happened?
She realized Neji had warmed her by putting his jacket ontop of her. She smiled, Neji must've been freezing all night. She got up and laid the jacket back on Neji. She got out of the tent and made some tea. She gathered water from the stream, boiled it in a hollow stick of bamboo, and she added some crushed tea leaves she had brought along with her. She had prepared four servings for the four of them. The rich aroma filled the campsite. It made Neji wake up.
Neji walked out of the tent, his hair still down, and sat next to her.
"Good morning Neji," Tenten said.
Neji nodded and she handed him a serving of tea. "Arigato," he said.
He had put his jacket back on. "Did you have a good sleep?" he asked.
She smiled and said, "Yeah, thanks for your jacket. I was freezing before."
Neji nodded again. Tenten rested her head against his shoulder as she slowly sipped her tea.
Sakura and Sasuke walked out of their tent a few minutes later and took a serving of tea, thanking Tenten.
Sakura sipped it, "It's really good Tenten!"
Tenten smiled, "Thanks. My mom taught me how to prepare it well."
Neji stood up after he finished his tea, got packed up and suggested that they get back to Konoha. They all agreed and did the same as Neji. Tenten and Sakura hadn't gotten changed yet, and didn't really have to, but decided to anyways. Sakura went into her tent and got dressed into another red dress. Tenten went into her tent to get dressed.
Tenten remembered clearly what she had packed. She had packed a small white t-shirt, and a pair of shorts. What she didn't know was that before Tenten left the house, Sakura had swapped her set of clothes with a pair of clothes she had already prepared. It was just a way to hopefully make Neji and Tenten draw closer to eachother.
Tenten opened up the bag she had packed everything in and gasped. What happened to all my clothes?! Inside her bag was a silky why dress that looked much like a wedding dress. She didn't want to wear it, but she also didn't want to wear the exact same clothes she had slept in. Tenten debated with herself for a while, and then finally slipped out of the clothes she was wearing and slipped into the silky white wedding dress. Tenten also realized she was barefoot.
She had taken off her shoes before going to bed last night. She didn't wear her shoes outside while preparing the tea. Tenten remembered she put them on the tent floor. What she didn't realize was that Sakura told Sasuke to quietly sneak into the tent at night and swap her dull ninja sandals with a pair of elegant high heels Sakura had brought.
Tenten searched the floor of the tent for her shoes, but only found high heels. Well, I doubt that they're Neji's, so I'll just wear these.
She slipped them on.
When the three were waiting, they all turned when they heard Tenten exit the tent. Neji's eyes widened as he saw her coming out, beautifully dressed. Neji stared at her, her hair was down in long waves, she was in a beautiful white dress, and she had nice heels on, what more could he ask for in the middle of a forest? He packed up the tent and carried it on his back. The ninjas of Konoha walked back to the main street.
When they got back to the main street, Neji and Tenten were holding hands. A small group of little ninjas not even out of the academy yet were staring at them and pointing at them. One of the little boy ninjas ran up in front of them. Neji, Tenten, Sakura and Sasuke all stopped in their tracks.
The little boy asked loudly, "Are you guys going to get married?"
Tenten blushed madly. She stuttered, "Uh…well uh…"
Neji broke in, "Yeah, we are."
A few other little boys and girls crowded around Neji and Tenten. A little girl asked, "Can I be your flower girl?"
Another girl yelled over her, "No, me! I want to be your flower girl!!"
All of the little girls broke through and started fighting, "No me! No me! No me!"
Tenten smiled and looked at Neji. Neji smiled back.
One of the boys broke through, he looked at Tenten's hands. "I don't see your ring!"
Tenten blushed, "Well you see, we're not actually…"
Sakura thought fast. She had asked Sasuke to buy a diamond ring for them because he was so rich. She pulled a ring case out of her pocket and shoved it in Neji's free hand while no one was looking. Neji looked at his hand.
He coughed. "Here it is," Neji said.
He let go of Tenten's hand and opened the ring case. Inside was the most beautiful diamond ring Tenten had ever seen, let alone receive.
All the little boys and girls clapped. Neji slid the ring on Tenten's ring finger. He held her hand and looked into her eyes for a long time. A little boy said, "You may now kiss the bride!"
Tenten giggled, and they both closed their eyes and kissed eachother. Her arms were around his shoulders and his arms were around her waist. While they were kissing eachother, all the little girls ran into the Yamanako Flower Shop and waved their money in Ino's face buying flowers like crazy. Ino was confused, but sold about 100 baby pink flowers to the little kids.
The girls ran out joyfully and picked the petals off the flowers. They threw the petals in the air. All the shop owners ran outside their shops and watched the beautiful scene. It was like a real wedding, flower petals, an audience, a bride, a groom, a ring. Who needs all the details? That was a happy day in Konoha for Neji, Tenten, and even Sakura and Sasuke. The day when Neji and Tenten got "married" was a day to always be remembered in the history of Konoha.
