Orochimaru tried to use his cursed seal maneuver on Neji but Neji quickly used his ultimate defense.

"You won't touch me," Neji said with a smirk. He could see a very annoyed Orochimaru in front of him. Suddenly he realized just where Orochimaru was heading. Right to Ten Ten! Before he could get there Orochimaru was behind her with a kunai to her throat.

" Stay back or the women gets it." Orochimaru said with newfound courage. Unluckily for him the paralyzing Jutsu was wearing off of Ten Ten.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" Ten Ten yelled as she tossed him over her head. Neji smirked at her toughness but then blushed as he realized her state of dress.

" Put this on and get ready to run" he said throwing her his sweatshirt. She looked down and she turned a shade of red that would make Hinata proud. She quickly put the sweatshirt on and tried to stand up.

" My legs won't move!" she practically screamed.

" Calm down and I will carry you."

But before Neji could get to Ten Ten, again, Orochimaru grabbed her and she practically screamed, again, at where he was grabbing her.

" Let me go you basterd" she yelled, trying to flip him one again but failing miserably.

In less than a second a seething Neji was behind Orochimaru performing his famous 64-strikes move.

"4 strikes, 8 strikes, 16 strikes, 32 strikes, 64 strikes!" he practically yelled. As anybody could tell, he was pissed.

" I'll let you live because Sasuke would kill me for killing you but the least I can do is cause you as much pain as I possibly can."

Ten Ten didn't know whether to be happy that Neji was mad, or scared. Either way she secretly felt glad that he had found her instead of Lee.

Somewhere else…

"Kabuto Neji is at Orochimaru-sama's base and Orochimaru-sama is badly hurt. You need to go and heal him right away."

" Thank you for the information, Lee-san." Kabuto said as he disappeared.

Neji was carrying Ten Ten back to Konoha bridal style being as her legs wouldn't move. Or so he said. They crashed into somebody and Neji carefully landed so Ten Ten wouldn't get hurt.

"Lee?" Ten Ten said, still not trusting him after he beat her up.

" Ten Ten! My youthful flower I'm glad your okay!" Lee said enthusiastically. Neji growled at Lee saying MY youthful flower. She's MINE, not yours you idiot. He decided to let it pass being as Lee always did this. That unfortunately was a very, VERY, bad move on his part.

"Lee take her back to Konoha your faster, than me." Neji said trying to hold back disappointment from his voice. He wanted to be Ten Ten's hero, but he put aside those thoughts. I need to get her back fast, in case she's injured. Which she was he could see. Somehow she had badly sprained her ankle.

"Alright." Lee smirked while they weren't looking. My plan is going well so far.

Bwah ha ha, what is Lee's plan. Thank you for giving me the confidence to write a fight scene. I know it sucks, I'm not a very good writer but that's life. Thank you for the reviews and no I don't hate any of you, I'm just really good at cliffhangers, and really bad at satisfying endings so forgive me. This was short, too short.
