Tenten didn't even need the local mall anymore. Everything she wanted was in Ino's closet for free! not to mention, half of the things she tried on weren't even FROM Konoha. They were from other parts of the world such as France, Italy, and America.

Tenten stayed at the Yamanaka mansion for an hour and left with a simple, strapless, black dress made by Chanel, with shoes to match. When she arrived back home she ran straight up to her room, not once looking at Chinatsu.

She started thinking to herself, wondering if Neji would actually come to Ino's party and who else would actually be there. She then grimaced at what she was thinking about. Why the hell did Neji come into her thoughts? I mean sure she had grown to care for him as a teammate, but nothing more. Her thoughts were then interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Yes" She simply stated.

"Someone is at the door for you" Chinatsu stated coldly

"Can you tell them to wait?" Tenten asked ignoring her foster mom's harsh attitude.

Chinatsu didn't reply and walked away from the door to inform her guest that her foster child would take a while.

Tenten immediately got dressed, and for the first time in her sixteen years of life, she felt beautiful. The black dress complimented her figure and her eye makeup made her ordinary eyes, extraordinary. Tenten didn't want OR need to do any thing fancy with her hair, a single bun with bangs going diagonally across her forehead made her look elegant.

She didn't feel the need to wear jewelry, not that she had any, so she slipped on her shoes and left the room. She walked down the stairs in a somewhat fast paste and

Almost fell when she saw her guest sitting in the living room.

"Neji?" Tenten asked surprised

Neji smirked and raised an eyebrow "Yeah"

"Wha-what are you doing here?" Tenten asked again

"I decided to go to the party after all" Neji replied

"Oh..well that still doesn't explain why you're here" Tenten smiled "the party's at Ino's house"

"I have no reason to see Ino." Neji stated

"so you're saying you have a reason to see me" Tenten asked curiously

"possibly" Neji smirked.

Tenten then heard the footsteps of her foster mom coming.

"Uh I think we should head out now" Tenten said anxiously

And with that Tenten grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the house. She ran a block or two (while still holding Neji's hand) before he could say anything.

"Sorry, I didn't want us to deal with my mom." Tenten said briefly but truthfully (for the most part)

"Hn" Neji simply stated.

Tenten didn't bother to say anything and continued walking, Neji followed her shortly after. They were silent for about 5 minutes.

"So why DID you come to see me?" Tenten asked.

"I thought it'd be nice to walk with someone" Neji stated.

"Oh." She said disappointed

They were silent again, for much longer than before. Neji then looked at the starry sky.

"Even the 'assholes' feel lonely to Tenten" He added "sometimes they need to be with the person they trust the most."

Neji's statement made Tenten smile brightly (of course she didn't let him see that). SURE maybe that wasn't exactly what Tenten wanted to hear but it still made her feel good inside and it also made her feel special that Neji trusted her.

She didn't say anything to Neji; instead she gave him a hug. Something Neji was very unaccustomed to.

"Tenten What ARE YOU DOING?" He asked surprised.

"It's called a hug. I don't think you have ever received one of them" Tenten said cheerfully before letting him go. "First time for everything, right?"

"Oh" Neji said still surprised.

He also smiled. He had a weird teammate but he didn't mind, it was nice seeing someone, he thought, expressed their emotions openly.

The two teammates were silent yet again. It wasn't awkward, nor was it weird. It was just time for them to let everything that happened in the past few minutes sink in.

They continued to walk to the mansion where something else awaited them.

I told you I didn't abandon this story. I just had a small case of writers block and a HUGE case of laziness. However while I was NOT writing this chapter, I've been reading REALLY good Nejiten fanfics, which I find, almost impossible. Also I made a NEW story for all you KibaHINA fans out there. It's called The Beast Within. Oh and please review. I know this chapter is short but Im going to make another one in an hour or FOUR lmao! All the good stuff happens in the next chapter and onward to the END!
