So I was reading through the story and decided to add like two more chapters. I tried to look at it from another point of view and had sooooo many questions pop into my head. So I hope you like my additions. Oh and thanks to Xxnarutofan101xX, Saturn-fox, DemonicAngel08, Scarletstar20, WeaponsMistress, Bitto, and totalnarutofangirl85 for reviewing. It totally made my day
I don't own Naruto!
"Hey Neji, wait up!"
Neji had been leaving the training grounds after being briefed by Gai on their new mission, only to be stopped by Tenten. He turned and leaned against a tree waiting for her to catch up to him.
"Do you mind if I walk with you?" she asked once she reached him.
"Hn." Was all he said before he turned to walk.
"I'll take that as a yes." She retorted as she started walking along side him. "By the way," she started again after a few minutes of silence, "I wanted to thank you for the other day. You being there actually helped me with my fear." By the time she had finished her statement she had the faintest hint of a blush on her cheeks.
"Your welcome." He murmured. Still embarrassed that he had showed some emotion to her the other day, he quickly shot off with "But don't expect it to happen again. It was a waste of my time, as I could have been home training." Actually looking back he wasn't sure if he could handle a next time.
Flashback
Tenten had just fallen asleep, and Neji decided to wait a few more minutes to make sure she stayed asleep and then leave as quietly as he could. Just as he was about to move another thunder clap erupted and Tenten unconsciously jumped and latched onto him with all her strength. 'Damn she's strong, even in her sleep!' Neji looked down at the sleeping kunoichi that was now sprawled over him. Her face was buried into his chest and she was shaking again. Neji, unsure of what to do really, started to do what his father did for him as a child, before he passed away.
"Lay down,
Your sweet and weary head,
Night is falling,
You have come to journey's end" He started to rub her back gently as he sang/hummed the lullaby.
"Sleep now,
And dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
From across the distant shore.
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see,
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
You're only sleeping."
Tenten by that time had stop shaking and lulled back into a relaxed sleep. Noticing her stillness he stopped singing. He also couldn't help but notice, because of the precarious position they were in, how soft she felt. 'Mmm, and she smells nice too.' He thought as he inhaled.
Tenten's buns, at some point during her frightened flight back under her bed, had come loose. Neji threaded a few strands in between his fingers. 'Wow, it's so soft.' He mused. He lifted it to his nose. 'Mmm…raspberry. No Neji, NO!' he thought. 'How many times do you have to tell yourself, you can't have feelings for Tenten?! She's a trusted teammate and friend. What would people think if they knew? What would SHE think?' Noticing that he still held the strands of hair he let them fall.
He was just about to move her off of him when Tenten moaned in her sleep then pushed herself, if it were possible, even closer to him. He automatically stiffened at the feeling of the, dare I say it…yes, Breasts rubbing against his chest, let alone her whole body moving against his. Feeling something wet on his upper lip, he touched his finger to his left nostril. He came away with blood. 'DAMNIT!' he had a nosebleed. 'Must. Not. Think. Dirty. Thoughts. Of. TENTEN!' he screamed at himself. After she stopped wiggling around and was still for several minutes. Neji took a few moments to get his hormones under control and then gently moved her off of him. Now finally out from under the bed, he left a note to explain why he had stopped by in the first place.
Tenten,
I originally came to tell you that we have a new mission that starts in a week. Gai-Sensei has arranged for us to meet at our usual training grounds in two days. We'll be briefed about the mission there. See you then.
- Neji
End of flashback
Neji snapped out of the rememberative daydream to find Tenten glaring daggers at him. 'Great now she's pissed! Good going lunk head!' he thought to himself.
"Fine! If I'm such a waste of time maybe you should stay away from me at all times, with the exception of missions!" She shouted. "I'll train with lee from now on!" She yelled at him while stomping away from him. Neji watched her retreating image and thought 'You did it now you retard, you just pushed away your only friend!'
So what did you think? Yeah I know I went alittle LOTR there for a moment, but I've always thought that song would make a good lullaby and that line was perfect for the situation. He he he, Neji's a closet perv! Please review, thank you! (Hey that rhymed! )
