Early morning wake up call Chapter 6

It was 5 in the morning, Tenten was so used to waking up this early that she woke up automatically.

" Yawn, oh yeah, I don't have to train today and I get to spend the whole day with Neji! Yay me!" Tenten exclaimed. She got out of bed and took a shower. Then she started to pick out her clothes.

" Hm, maybe I should wear something girly for once. Neji said he liked me with my hair down and my regular atterier doesn't look good with my hair down. So hm." She said as she scanned her closet for something that would stand out to Neji.

" Ah ha, this will do perfect." She said. She pulled out a hot red tube top, a sparkly black mini skirt and a pair of sparkly black high heel ankle strap shoes to top it all off. She slipped on the tube top, then the skirt then her shoes. Now it was time for accessories ands make-up. She put on, black mascara, light silver eyes shadow, and a shimmery pink lip gloss. She looked gorgeous.

" Now I can see Neji, really blush." She said to herself.

Tenten walked out of her bedroom to see Takashi about to knock on her door.

" Hello, dear lady. You look quite pretty this morning. Is there any reason why?"
" It's none of your business."

" Oh, I believe it is."
" How so?"
Un aware Neji, was standing eavesdropping in on the whole conversation. But he didn't even get to see Tenten yet.

" Well," instead of answering, he bruised his lips on hers and forced her mouth open with his tongue. Tenten was in complete shock. But she snapped out of it and bit his tongue so hard that it started to bleed.

" What the heck did you do that for!?" Tenten screamed.

" WHY YOU SON OF A," Takashi scream but once again didn't finish. For he was stabbed into the wall with kunai. The blood was oozing from his mouth.

" You'll pay for this you little wench!"

" I'd like to see you try."

" GRRRRRRRRRRR"

And with that Tenten strutted away and turned to see Neji very, very, very ticked off. Not at Tenten she couldn't help it, but at Takashi.

" Neji, did you see that back there?" Tenten asked worried that he would snap at her.

" Yeah, but it doesn't matter now, you've already token care of it for me. By the way why are you up so early? And what's with all of the make-up and that?"

" Why, you don't like it?"

" No, I like it and all, but I'm just not used to seeing you look like a girly girl. That's all."

" Oh, well I can change back into my regular training clothes if you want so you won't start calling me Ino or something."

" No, don't, you look nice that way."

" Ok." Tenten smiled.

" So anyway since we are both up, how do you want to start the day?"
" Hm, I don't know maybe, breakfast sounds good."
" Then breakfast it is. Do you want to eat here or out?"
" out"

" Ok, where?"

" Chinese"
" Ok, but I'll pick where then."
"Ok," Tenten and Neji left the Hyuga Compound and went to Wah Wong.

Then they sat down in a booth and the waitress came in.

" What would you like to eat?" the waitress asked as she flipped open the notepad.

" I'll have and order of sweet and sour chicken, no vegetables, an egg roll, a cup of white rice and a cup of wanton soup."

" Ok and for you sir?"

" I'll just have a bowl of wanton soup no onions," Neji said.

" Oh and no onions in my soup either miss," Tenten butted in.

" Ok, your order will be ready shortly." Then the waitress walked away and into the kitchen.

" So Tenten, are you worried about who you'll have to face in the chunin final rounds?"

" A little, you?"
" Not really. I haven't come this far to lose."

" Yeah your right. Hey the foods' coming."

The waitress gave Neji and Tenten their food and their bill. Tenten looked at the bill.

Her mouth dropped and her eyes widened.
" Wow! That's expensive! I'm sorry Neji, I didn't know that it would be this much," But Tenten didn't finish.

" Tenten, it's alright. I'll pay." ( Aw such a gentleman )

" Are you sure?"

" Yeah, it's fine besides I promised to spend the whole day with you, and I always keep my word. Also, it wouldn't be very enjoyable to you if we stayed here and washed dishes all day now would it?"
" Yeah, I guess your right."

" Hey, I forgot we're supposed to find out who we're going to fight in the chunin finals. Come on lets go."

Neji quickly paid for their meal and left with Tenten.

At the chunin arena.

" Ok, here I will have you each pick a number." The third Hokage said as he passed out little pieces of paper with numbers on them. This is how the genin were in line,

NH SA NU SN T K T G SU SH

" Now read your number off,"

" One,"

" Five,"

" Three, believe it!"

" Four, this is such a drag."

" Two"

" Heheh, six,"

" Eight"

" Seven"

" Ten"

"Nine"

" Ok, so here are people who will be verseing each other,"

" Naruto Uzamaki vs. Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburam vs. Kankuro, Temari vs. Gaara, Sasuke Uchiha vs. Sakura Haruno and, Neji Hyuga vs. Tenten."
Sakura, Temari and, Tenten were at shock. Nethier of them wanted to fight their opponents especially Sakura and Tenten.

Tenten's thoughts

No this can't be happening! I can't fight Neji! Wait a sec, maybe this won't be so hard. I think I got a plan.

Sakura's Thoughts

No, not Sasuke- Kun! He's one of the best rookie nine! I'm gonna lose so badly! Wait unless.

Temari's Thoughts

No, Gaara's gonna kill me! In a very, very, very painful way! I'm to young to die!

Shikamaru's thoughts

This is such a drag.

Naruto's Thoughts

This is gonna be fun, BELIVE IT!

Sasuke's thoughts

I'm not very fond of fighting girls, especially one that's way weaker than me, but if it will get me up one step in killing Itachi then, I'm going to have to.

Neji's thoughts

I knew that this would happen. I hope Tenten won't be mad at me, but I'm not going to let her win. No matter what happens.

Shino's Thoughts

Get ready bugs for some intense training!

Kankuro's thoughts

I better go shine up my puppet!

Gaara's Thoughts

Blood, blood, blood I love blood! And now mother you will taste the best blood of them all, your own daughter's blood. Heheheheh!

" Now you will have a week to prepare yourselves. Now start your preparing." The hokage said.

" Neji, can we cancel this day until after the chunin exams, I need to do something?" Tenten asked. Neji nodded and then left to go home.

" Hey Shikamaru" Tenten yelled as she ran towards him.

" Hm?"

" Will you help me defeat Neji? Please? Pretty, pretty please with sugar on top. I'll even add in the cherry and the little chocolate sprinkles," Tenten then gave him the puppy pout, it never fails.

" Fine, what do you need help on?"

" I just want you to help me learn your shadow possession jutsu."

" Ok, I can do that."

" Great thanks. Meet me here at 4 a.m. tomorrow morning."

" What! Why so early?"

" Well since I'm staying at the Hyuga's for a couple of weeks, I don't want Neji to know, or else it will ruin what I got in store for him."

" Yeah, yeah, fine 4 a.m. I'll see you later then."

" Kay, thanks again Shikamaru!"

" Yeah, yeah." And with that Shikamaru walked away.

" Hey, Tenten." A pink haired Kunochi said.

" Hi!" Tenten replied.

" How can you be so happy, when you have to fight Neji, and I have to fight Sasuke?!" Sakura snapped.

" Well, I know for a fact that I can beat Neji."

" And, how is that?"

" Well, I'm gonna train with Shikamaru in the morning and learn his shadow possession jutsu."

" So,"

" So, I'm going to trap Neji in the jutsu and, well, you'll have to wait and see for the rest. But I can help you with Sasuke."

" Really!"

" Yeah sure, what are friends for."

" Do you already have a plan?"

" Yep,"

" What is it?"

" This is what you're going to do. You're going to make him lose to himself without even knowing it."

" And how do I do that?"

" Well, first, you'll let yourself get caught and you will start to lose. Then when he's about to make his biggest attack, you'll keep telling him to stop and start to cry. That should give him at least a little gilt. And when he's full of guilt you'll know what to do after that."

" Wow, that's a brilliant idea. Thanks Tenten."

" No problem."

After that they both walked home in different directions. That's when something horrible begins.

It's now 6 pm. And pouring outside.

Tenten was running as fast as she could to the Hyuga Mansion.

" Curse these stupid high heels!" She muttered to herself. Dinner was at 6:15 pm, and she knew she couldn't make it.

Finnaly she reached the compound. She started to bang her fist on the hard white door. The raindrops that boardered the edge of the house fell and drizzled down her cheek taking the mascara she wore earlier with it. The cold wind and rain fused together and slashed into her back almost making her shiver in pain. She was soaked to the bone. Her hair framed her face and her clothes clung onto her skin. She was cold. Very cold. Suddenly the door open and she fell to the floor.

" Tenten!" A cold voice yelled.

" N-neji?"

Tenten lied there, on the hard, marble floor, uncosinces. Neji scooped her up in his arms and took her to his room. He laid her on his bed and went to go and get a warm rag.

Neji's thoughts as he went to go get the rag

What happened to her? She's freezing, and she's a mess! Oh, Tenten please be ok.

Neji finally returned with the hot rag and placed it on Tenten's forhead. She stirred and muttered something so quiet, not even a mouse could hear it. But Neji heard it. She said, "Stop, s-s-stop!" He knew that she was probably dreaming but, just in case he took the rag off of her forhead and, set it down. Tenten stirred again, and her eyes twitched.

" Neji, where am I?"

" Your at the Hyuga compound. What happened to you?"

Flashback

" So, my little Tenten, about this morning, can we just say that it never happened?" A voice krept it's way to Tenten's ear. She turned around to see Takashi standing up against a wall, with his arms crossed.

" Not you again!" Tenten yelled. She was reaching for a kunai where her kunai pouch usually was. Suddenly Takashi disappeared, and reappeared behind Tenten. He grabbed her wrists and stopped her from grabbing her kunai.

" Ah, ah , ah, girls aren't supposed to play with weapons."

" Really? Well, I don't think I'm a girl anymore." Tenten smirked. Since she couldn't use her own weapons, she reached into Takashi's kunai pouch and sliced his wrists making him let go of her. She turned to face him, " I'm a women."

Takashi grabbed his katana from his waist and charged towards Tenten. He was getting ready to attack her. Tenten grabbed her kunai and blocked the katana from hitting her.

She reached into her kunai pouch and grabbed two scrolls. Tenten took the kunai and swiped it across the tip of her thumb making it ooze with blood. Takashi just stood there waiting foe her to attack.

" Come on Tenten, girls like you aren't just the type to be a ninja."

" Well you know what?"

" What?"

" I'd rather be a ninja than put on make-up any day."

" Tenten, we can't try to be something that we're not."

" Whatever, it's your funeral."

Tenten spread the crimson blood on both scrolls from top to bottom. Then she jumped in the air and the scrolls twirled around her body. A shower of weapons of all kind pierced through the air. Takashi smirked, as he spun around creating a ball of chakra defending him. She landed gracefully on the ground.

" I'm pretty impressed. I wouldn't expect this much from a girl. But I knew none of your stupid little toys would hurt me or barely even touch me. Now it's my turn."

Takashi made some hand signs and made a transformation jutsu.

" N-neji,"

" It's me Tenten,"

" No, no, your not Neji."

" Yes, I am."
Takashi activated his Byakugan and got into his fighting stance.

Tenten gasped,' that's Neji's fighting stance. Wait no, Tenten you can't let him get to you.' She thought. is eight tri grams stance.

Takashi made his eight tri grams form.

" Heh, I'm sorry Tenten baby, but your finished!"

He attacked her with his 64 palms attack.

" 2 palms, 4 palms, 8 palms ect."

Blood squirted out of Tenten's mouth as she fell to the ground. It started to rain.

End Flashback

" nothing, I'm fine."

" No your not."

" Yes, I am."

" Tenten," Neji sighed," You were late for dinner, you came home soaked to the bone, and you fainted. Now tell me how your fine again."

" Neji stop acting like you care." Tenten wishpered. Tears started to drizzle down her cheek.

" That's just it Tenten, I do care." Neji said and then scooted closer to Tenten and embraced her in his arms. Tenten broke free of his hug and stepped off the bed.

" No, you don't." Tenten whimpered. Tears were now poring down her face.

" Tenten, I do care about you. Come on sit back down here." Neji said as he motioned her to sit on the bed. Tenten sat on the bed and whipped her tears.

" Tenten, when you were gone, I was worried about you. And when you came home like this, I thought you could have been seriously hurt. Tenten I need to know what went on when you were walking home, so I can beat the crap out of the person that did this to you."

Tenten had her head down with her wet hair hanging in front of her shoulders.

" Can I just tell you the name?"

" Sure."

" Takashi, your cousin."

" Why that little son of a BEEP! When I get my hands on him I'll,"

" Neji," Tenten said as she was shivering, " I'm freezing." Neji then stopped rambling on about what he was going to do to Takashi.

" Here," Neji got up and opened a drawer in his dresser and handed Tenten a big t-shirt and a pair of big comfy shorts, " go take a nice, long, hot bath and then you can sleep here for the night."

" Ok, thanks Neji."

Neji lead Tenten to his bathroom and started the water for her.

" Here ya go."

" thank you Neji."

" No problem." And with that he shut the door and left the room.

He walked over to his bed and pulled the covers up and got the bed ready for Tenten. Then he got his futon ready. He laid down and went to bed. Later on tenten went to bed on the bed.
