I hope you like it!
Enjoy and please leave a review!
Hyuuga castle, Tenten's room
Tenten moved closer to the warmth. She knew that night in Konoha was hot but it was warm and comfortable like hell. She didn't want to move at all it felt so damn good. She smiled in her sleep passing her hand on the surface under her. It let out a groan and a grip appeared around her waist. 'The hell? Since when do beds groan? And what's that around my waist?' It was so warm so inviting… 'Who cares? I don't feel like moving at all.'
"Tenten? I have papers works can you please move?"
"Don't feel like moving… You are comfortable, Neji."
One…
Two…
Three…
Four…
Five…
Her hazel eyes snapped open meeting the pearls ones of the King.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!?!"
In the Wind Country
Amaya was looking at her in the mirror satisfied. Her scarlet curly hair was cascading freely on her shoulders barely touching her waist. Her cold blue eyes were scrutinizing herself for the merest default. She smiled proudly. She was gorgeous in this white dress cough-if you are a pervert-cough.
"Your carriage is ready Lady Amaya."
The maid bowed and exited the room quietly. Amaya wasn't the type of girls to say thank you anyway. She looked at her profile a last time before exiting the room. 'This whore is going to eat her dress. I'm so much more beautiful from all the other girls. I swear I will retake my…'
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!?!"
She turned around surprised and frowning.
"What was that?"
The coachman and a maid looked at each other.
"We don't know Lady Amaya."
She glared at them like it was their fault if they didn't know what it was. She held up her hand briskly and the maid helped her getting in the vehicle. The red haired woman slammed the door at the nose of the maid as soon as she was in.
"KEEP MOVING I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!" Amaya shouted clearly annoyed.
The maid rolled his eyes and walked away. She was simply impossible for anyone who met her. The coach mouthed a help me at anyone who passed by before going towards the Fire Country. They will be at the Hyuuga castle in 4 days since Lady Amaya doesn't want to pass through the desert. It won't be good for her sensitive and pale skin after all.
In front of Tenten's room
Ino and Shikamaru looked curiously at the door of her room. They heard her screamed the name of the King and the maids just told them that Lord Hyuuga never entered his room. They assumed (mostly Ino) that he was with her. So here they were, trying to figure out what was going on. It was Ino's idea to listen to their conversation even if the Leader of the Nara clan kept telling her that the Byukugan can see through the walls. No, she hadn't listened. 'Why was I dragged into this?'
"Ino, this is troublesome. If Neji learns that we are here, he will have our heads."
He rubbed the back of his head bored. Nothing was happening anyway. They were not saying a thing.
"Sssshhhh! They are talking!"
"Ino nothing is going to happen behind that door. You heard me, troublesome woman? Neji would die before even being able to kiss a woman."
Ino opened her mouth to reply in the lines of 'We never know!' or 'They would so cute together don't you think?' or again 'We could play matchmaker, if nothing happen!' but the voice of Neji cut her off.
"Damn it, why do you have to be so loud?"
"Well, probably because YOU WERE UNDER ME!"
"Next time, I promise to be on top of you…"
They heard a loud sound from the other side of the door. Ino smiled proudly having the I-told-you look on her face as she looked over at the lazy genius.
"They are making out!" Lady Yamanaka whispered excited.
Shikamaru signed. This troublesome loudmouth just loved that kind of thing. She had at least tried to bond together all the Leaders of the clans once. However, the words they said to each other were pretty suggestive. He passed a hand through his hair. 'Damn this too troublesome…' Hinata and Naruto sneaked behind them trying to figure out what the hell were they doing in front of Tenten's bedroom.
"What are you doing?"
They jumped surprised and praying all the Gods they know that it wasn't Neji. They looked around and signed in relief. It was only Hinata and her husband. Ino smiled excited while Shikamaru tried hard not to hit his forehead on the nearest wall. He knew her too well to know what she will shout.
"Your brother and Tenten are making out!"
Naruto laughed holding his side until he heard the King's voice. Even Hinata let out a small laugh.
"Take that out, woman!"
"Why should I? You should appreciate the position you are in."
Naruto widened eyes in surprise. 'I shouldn't have overdone ramen this morning. I'm hallucinating things.'
"I don't care. Take it out already because if I do it by myself it will hurt..."
"What the hell are you doing?!? You say it by yourself; it will hurt! Stop moving if you want me to take it out…"
Hinata blushed in several shades of red. 'My brother is making out with someone…'
"It wouldn't have happened in the first place if you were good at it…"
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
"Well, you sucked at it."
Hinata and Ino gaped. 'He didn't just say that!'
"Hey! Give me a break it's my first time and like you should be talking, Neji! Besides, I wouldn't have missed, in the first place, if you didn't wake me up damn that early."
'Yes he did!' The girls thought shocked.
"Stop rambling, Tenten, and take it out before someone enters and finds me in that position."
"Shut the hell up pretty boy I'm trying but it's stuck in it…"
"WHAT?!? Tenten you definitely suck at it!"
Shikamaru, Ino along with Naruto and Hinata busted in the room clearly outraged and disgusted by the previous comments of Tenten and Neji.
"You disgusting pigs! At least when Hinata and I do it we are not shouting it out loud." Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs causing his quiet wife to blush in a deep red.
They scanned the room to see a surprised Tenten and a Neji trying to save the slight piece of dignity he still had. He was pinned to a wall by an arrow closely stuck in his shoulder while Tenten had the arrow in her hands but it was still stuck in the wall. As much as they looked at the pair, they still had their clothes on.
Shikamaru signed. 'This is such a drag. I knew it was a bad idea in the first place to listen to their conversation but it would have been too troublesome to argue with Ino. Why is God against me? Why every time I'm lazy it has to turn out like that. I can't help it. It's the blood of the Nara clan. It's too troublesome to fight against it.'
Ino laughed sheepishly. 'Too bad I thought they were already together. Now I would have to play matchmaker. Shika will help me so everything will be alright with his brain and my matchmaker skills. Hehehehehe! Maybe Hinata and Naruto will help. Man, I need to get out of here before Neji murdered all of us.' She subtly tried to reach the door.
Hinata was still red not snapping back to reality. 'Please God tell me he hasn't tell that to my brother. Please tell me Iruki will sill have a father by the end of this day.' She backed off towards the door still praying for her husband.
Naruto grinned backing off towards the door. 'Oups…'
"Froze."
They froze in their spot, in front of the door.
"What the hell were you talking about, Uzumaki? And I hope you have a good explanation to compare me as a disgusting pig…"
"Hey! He insulted me too."
He smirked looking down at Tenten.
"Yes and? I think you deserve it."
"What kind of gentleman says something like that?"
Hinata, Naruto, Ino and Shikamaru looked at her like she was crazy or something.
"Neji Hyuuga." They chorused.
Tenten sweat dropped. 'Of course, I should have known…'
"Well, I'm listening Uzumaki."
Lord Uzumaki gulped. He had called him twice with the honorific. He must be mad.
"Well, we heard your conversation and Ino started saying you were making out with Tenten."
His brows began to twitch. Were they real? He had fan girls and all but he was not even worth not to make a woman cry after 5 minutes with him.
"And your suggestive comments began to scare us and Hinata almost fainted so we broke in…"
SLAP!
They widened eyes and Naruto touch his cheek still not believing it. Tenten hadn't slapped him, she had slapped Neji. Neji Hyuuga. Lord Hyuuga. The King of the Fire Country!
"I feel better. Now can we get breakfast?" She asked innocently.
Naruto punched his firsts in the air.
"Hell yeah!"
Neji's pale face took a shade of red. He was near from assassinating someone.
"Nara, take that arrow out. All of you leave. I will teach her some respect."
He was pissed, horribly pissed.
"I can't argue with you with nothing in the stomach!"
He snorted.
"You are childish."
She leaned closer to him. He raised a brow not certain of what she was about to do.
"And you are an idiot."
She took out the arrow roughly walking away from him.
"Now can we get breakfast?" She asked cheerfully.
They nodded happy to get away from Neji.
"Froze."
They turned around slowly gulping as Tenten groaned slightly. Apparently he wasn't done.
"What were you talking about when you say 'at least when me and Hinata do it we are not shouting it out loud'?"
"NEJI PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM!" His sister looked at him with teary eyes.
Lord Hyuuga looked at his sister emotionless for several seconds.
"Fine."
He relaxed a bit. He would let Naruto live until… tomorrow training.
"Can we get breakfast now?!?" Tenten yelled annoyed.
"Wait a minute… What were you doing, together?" Shikamaru asked.
"Well…
FLASHBACK
"NNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!?!"
He pushed her off the bed. She stood up and looked uncertain at him. He shook his head.
"Damn it, why do you have to be so loud?"
'I will be deaf before the end of the day.' Neji stood up brushing his clothes while Tenten began to fume.
"Well, probably because YOU WERE UNDER ME!"
He raised his head smirking at her.
"Next time, I promise to be on top of you…"
The next thing he knew he was pinned to the wall by an arrow too close from his shoulder for his comfort. He looked at her then at her bow. 'Where does it come from?' Tenten pouted looking at the bow. 'I missed…' He looked at the arrow stuck in the wall through his honorific robs.
"Take that out, woman!" He hissed.
She leaned closer smirking.
"Why should I? You should appreciate the position you are in."
Tenten giggled tapping his forehead. He gritted his teeth.
"I don't care. Take it out already because if I do it by myself it will hurt..."
She continued to laugh so he tried to remove it by himself.
"What the hell are you doing?!? You say it by yourself; it will hurt! Stop moving if you want me to take it out…"
She was just too close for his tastes. She frowned a little. 'Damn it's stuck…'
"Well it wouldn't have happened in the first place if you were good at it…"
He smirked and she stopped to remove the arrow outraged.
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
"Well, you sucked at it."
Her brows twitched as his smirk grew wider.
"Hey! Give me a break it's my first time and like you should be talking, Neji! Besides, I wouldn't have missed, in the first place, if you didn't wake me up damn that early."
She stuck out her tongue at him and he raised a brow. 'So innocent… How the hell she ended up being a General?' Tenten began to curse slightly still trying to remove the arrow.
"Stop rambling, Tenten, and take it out before someone enters and finds me in that position."
'Stupid Hyuuga pride…' She snorted.
"Shut the hell up, pretty boy, I'm trying but it's stuck in it…"
He cocked his brows smirking 'Pretty boy, hein? Wait what did she say?'
"WHAT?!? Tenten you definitely suck at it!"
The King slapped his forehead mentally. Tenten opened her mouth to reply but the door opened brutally.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Well that explains a lot but it was the first time with a bow?"
"Yeah… I missed. I was supposed to at least shoot in his…"
"We don't want to know!" They said waving in front of their body. "What about breakfast?"
Dining room
Kankuro and Temari had joined everybody to take breakfast and to talk about the man who tortured and killed the thief. They were talking quietly with Neji not to scare everybody. Suddenly, Haku walked in bowing.
"My Lady, the council wish you to fight Lady Amaya. It is a final decision, unless you gave up Lord Hyuuga to her. It's the words of the elders please do not blame me for them."
She smiled trying to hide her anxiety. She didn't want to fight over Neji. She wasn't attached to him. It was just fun to annoy him and to make fun of him. That's it, right? In the other hand, there was no way in hell, in heaven or even in Earth to give up Neji to a drooling fan girl who has nothing to do of her life except to check out boys. However, like Neji would give her the choice. Being arrested by the ANBU will bring her in deep troubles. She gritted her teeth.
"When?"
"She arrived an hour ago. At noon you will meet her in the Gardens to start the combat."
He leaned down at her.
"Careful, My Lady, this woman is the type you hate so much. Try not to overdo things and to control your emotions because even me I had some difficulties to control my tempter. This woman is impossible. Please beat her. She deserves it but even if you want to strangle her restrain your pulsations it won't be good and it could lead to a war." He whispered to her ear.
He stood up and bowed to everyone before exiting the room. Tenten frowned slightly. This was bad. If Haku had to control his tempter, which turns out to be so tiny you can hardly even tell he has one, it only means that she will have to remain cold all the fight.
"The fight will be lead in the North Gardens and I will be the referee." The King said coldly not looking at her.
She had heard from Neji that she was the heiress of the Gushij clan or something like that. Her family was at the head of the economy of all the Countries which means she was really rich. Her clan was from the Wind country. It seemed that they held no alliance with Gaara even if he was the Kazekage. They had created their own court; apart form the Hidden Village of the Sand. It was almost all that she knows. Apparently their abilities were unknown.
"Who's this woman, Hyuuga?" Temari said bringing Tenten back to reality.
It was certainly confusing since she had never seen her before (that was because of that mask she wore in the Sand) and she was sat next to the King.
"Yeah… I don't think we meet before, dear, what's your pretty name?"
Neji brows twitched. He would have his head if he tried anything funny. Tenten looked disgusted at him.
"Kankuro, this is Tenten, my fiancée."
Temari began to choke uncontrollably as Kankuro laughed his ass off.
"I didn't know you were interested in such beautiful creatures."
He eyed her suggestively. Neji used his famous glare to make him shut up. The Weapons Mistress contained her killer aura. A creature? She was a creature?
"It's sad you are taken, honey…"
Tenten would have jumped in Neji's arms if she hadn't a pride. He was the brother of her ex-boss and it was scary. A man with more make-up that she had ever worn in her whole life was flirting with her. 'I must have fallen very low…'
She smiled weakly and took Neji's hand under the table. He froze looking at her from the corner of his eyes. He mouthed a what-the-hell-are-you-doing? Yes, what the hell was she doing? She was starting to be attached to him, to almost depend on him. She was shocked to have the guts to take his hand. It was so odd… She didn't want to be here in Konoha with Hiaishi's son but she was still here. She didn't run away but she would love to… run away this castle where all started, where she had been so many times inviting as the heiress of the Jurinai clan. All this was so far, behind her. Why does she have to remember? Why did she isn't able to pass over it? The answer was simple, stupid and pointless; because she needed the pain, because it was a way to punish her to have survived when everybody had died tortured in the most horrible way. Her? She was still breathing freely running away in her mind from her memories but absorbing a little to remember how lucky she had been and at the same time how unfortunate. She would remain guilty how her life and she knew it. It was her fault, her mother's fault, her Sisters' fault, the Jurinai clan's for being damned and destroyed to a little memory. She held his hand tighter not wanting to let it go. 'Please don't leave me like them…'
She let it go and smiled brightly to Ino.
"You know what the Gushij clan is able to do?"
She held her chin with her hand looking at the blond woman.
"It's for Lady Amaya? I heard you will have to face her… but nobody knows what she's capable of but be careful. I heard she was skilled. Kankuro? Temari? Do you know something? She's from your country after all…"
The Mind controller turned herself towards the Sand siblings. Kankuro rubbed his neck and Temari shook her shoulders.
"We don't know anything about them. They are apart from the Suna. They have their own court. Lady Amaya is the heiress of the clan since her uncle doesn't have any child but their abilities… I don't know."
"You'll be alright, Tenten, anyway. If you had fought well but you had lost I will let you go without giving you to the ANBU. If not your life will become a hell…" He whispered to her ear.
She nodded frowning. 'That only means… he knows she is skilled.'
North Gardens
A red haired woman faced Tenten. She had a black outfit. Lady Amaya looked up and down at the King's fiancée snorting. 'I'm so much better than her!' She waved happily to Neji who just stared at her coldly. Haku appeared near from Ino, Shikamaru, Naruto, Hinata and Iruki in his mother's arms who were watching the fight. The elders were
Neji crossed his arms.
"Are you ready?"
The women nodded. Neji watched Tenten a second. 'Please beat her because I don't want to be stuck with her… and to watch you leave…'
"You may begin."
Hehehehe...
The fight is next chapter! I will update probably tonight!
So... later!
