As Tenten turned off the TV, she went up stairs to her room. (Sorry, forgot to mention it was a two story house) She plopped on her bed and placed her hand on her forehead. It was only 1:44 PM and was already tired. Probably the after affects of the sickness. She thought. She then heard a grunt.

She turned her head to see Neji standing there. "Yes?"

"You don't look so good. Are you ok?" he asked.

"I'll be fine, just tired." She responded. Neji didn't believe her. Her face was a bit redder than usually.

"Jeez. What a weakling." He said crossing his arms.

"Well sorry for being a weakling!" Tenten exclaimed. "Unlike you, I'm not a ninja. So I don't do all the extreme exercises that you do to keep me healthy!" she turned over to her side, showing him her back.

After an awkward moment of silence, Neji responded very quietly, "…maybe…you should be…"

Tenten immediately turned around and faced him, "WHAT?!?!"

Neji hesitated to repeat what had just said and only gave a grunt. Tenten frowned at him, "I can't be a ninja. Ninjas don't even exist in this world! I know nothing of chakras or jutsus!"

"But you do know of ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu, don't you? I mean, you watch the show everyday."

"That doesn't mean anything! I watch it. Not do it! Why would I want to become a ninja anyways?!? Just to help me through simple colds?"

Neji hesitated to answer this question too, "So that the same thing that happened at that party won't happen again! That's why!"

Tenten fell silent. She defiantly didn't want that to happen again, and she thought becoming a ninja would be awesome. But now that she really thought about it, ninja's actually did once exist in this world.

"Listen, I've seen the way you've handled stuff. You have good reflexes. You've also shown me your report card from school, so I know you do good at paying attention. Plus, you already know the basics of being a ninja, even a bit beyond basics." Neji stated.

Tenten looked up at Neji. Is he…complimenting me? Neji didn't seem so much of the type to compliment people. He usually kept things to himself. He defiantly IS different from the show.

"So?" Neji asked. Tenen frowned at him, "You're going to teach me?"

Neji sighed roughly, "Who else?" Tenten blush and gave a nod in agreement.

"So, let's start." Neji said turning around. Tenten couldn't believe what he had just said.

"WHAT???" she exclaimed. "At least let me get rid of this cold first!"

"Fine, then I'll ask questions to test your knowledge." He said.

"I can't believe this." Tenten said to herself, as she sat crossed legged on her bed.

Neji began asking questions. His first questions were really easy, at least they were to Tenten. Then after a while they became harder and harder to answer. Down to the point where Tenten never even thought of before. No matter how many times Tenten was starting to get stuck at the questions, Naji kept on going on. They didn't call him the genius for nothing!

Then after six questions that seemed impossible to even give an answer to, Neji decided to stop. "Alright, let's try it."

"What?! I thought you were only going to ask questions?" Tenten questioned.

"You want to keep going?" he asked. Tenten shook her head.

"Alright then, and don't worry we'll start with a simple jutsu." Neji started.

"Which one?" Tenten asked curiously.

"Summoning." Neji said blankly. Tenten froze.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" she shouted.

Neji stood there, staring at the brunette that was shaking like if it was the end of the world. Her chocolate eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Y-your kidding, r-right?" she stuttered. Neji continued to just stare at her with an emotionless face. "You c-can't be s-serious!!" Then out of nowhere the ends of Neji's mouth started to curve upwards. As soon as this happened he covered his face with his hands and quickly turned around. Tenten heart started pounding. She went to his side, "Neji? Neji?!? Are you ok?!?! Neji???"

Neji still had his hands on his face as he lowered to his knees. He then began shaking.

"Neji?!? What happened?!? Are you seriously ok?!?" Tenten was frightened. He still didn't answer back. She placed her hand on his back and her other on his shoulder. "Neji!?!?" She then grabbed one his hands and pulled it away from his face. Only to be completely shocked from what she saw. Her cheeks blushed, but not from embarrassment.

Neji had a smile on his face. He was actually laughing. Laughing!

"I'm sorry." He said, a smile still on his face. He then started laughing again. "I'm……sorry."

Tenten fell backwards. She was speechless. Not from how she was tricked, but how he looked when he smiled. His image kept flashing in her mind. That very moment when she saw his face, THE smile on his face, her heart flickered. She had a huge blush across her face. When she noticed what just had happened, she covered her mouth with one hand.

Neji had ceased to laugh when he noticed her silence. "Are you okay?" Tenten looked up at him and immediately turned her face away from him. She didn't want him to see that she was blushing. Neji frowned in concern. "Hey, I'm really sorry. Sorry for worrying you. Tenten?"

Tenten eyes widened when he said her name. She had the feeling that she always wanted him to say her name. She quickly got up and walked to her bed. "I-I'm fine. R-really." She gave a small chuckle, "y-you got m-me." She turned around quickly and gave him a smile, then immediately turned around again, hoping that he didn't see her blushing.

But she was wrong. He had gotten a good glimpse of her red face. And not soon after he had a tiny bit of a blush across his face. "….um….if you say so." Was the only thing he could say. Then there was a pop.

Tenten turned around to see where it came from. She looked down to see Neji or now Spirally sitting there in the middle of her room. "Neji?" her blush now gone.

Yes, its me.

"What happened?"

I don't know, I just…then turned into a dog again. Tenten stared hard at the brown puppy when he paused.

"Oh, I see. I think. Um…well, I'm kinda tired. So I think I'll take a nap." She said, unsurely.

The dog said nothing and just sat there as the brunette climbed into bed and pulled the covers over herself. As soon as she did, her face blushed again under the covers. No. I can't. I just can't.

Unfortunately she had forgotten that the dog could communicate with her by reading her thoughts. He slowly walked over to the corner and laid there. Pondering over what just happened. She can't what? And why was she blushing so much? Is it that……arghhh, I can't think like this. Shinobi…shinobi can't…can't have emotions. Neji cursed at himself for finding it hard to say that.

But what if she did? The thought kept coming back to him.
