It was the day Tenten was to go to work for Neji. "Why do I have to go?" Tenten complained for the thousandth time.

"Because you work there now and it would look bad if you didn't show up." Temari said calmly as she shoved Tenten out the door.

Tenten sighed and started the walk to her new job. Why did I agree to this? That ass might remember me.

Tenten finally reached her employers home and knocked. She waited nervously before the door was finally opened. She sighed in relief. It was the servant she met the other day.

"Good evening madam." He said. "My name is Rock Lee." He gave her a low bow.

"Hello. I'm Tenten." She curtsied. "I'm the new servant." Lee stared at her for a while before turning and walking away.

"Follow me." Tenten hurriedly followed after him. "You look familiar." He looked over his shoulder at her.

"I do?" Please don't recognize me. She thought.

"Are you that girl my master and I ran into at the market?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Tenten said as calmly as possible. She was trying not to show her fear on the outside.

"Never mind. You just look familiar." They continued walking down the long corridor.

They reached an elegant sliding door. Lee knocked quietly and waited patiently. "Come in."

Lee opened the door and stepped inside. "Sir the new help is here." Tenten stepped forward and curtsied.

"Thank you Lee. You may leave." Lee nodded and walked out the door, shutting it behind him. Tenten stood there nervously.

"What's your name?" He asked sharply.

"Tenten." Why am I so scared? He just another noble. She thought and suddenly gained her courage back.

"That's it? Just Tenten?" He scrutinized her. She seems oddly familiar. He thought.

"Yes sir." She said proudly.

"I am Neji Hyuga and I'm your master. First I need you to take care of my laundry and then bring my lunch. After that I will give you more work. You're dismissed." Tenten nodded and turned to leave before he stopped her. "And I would prefer if you didn't call me a jackass while working for me."

Tenten blushed and hurriedly left the room. Lee was waiting outside. "Follow me."

Lee led her to another elegant sliding door. "This is Neji's room. Don't touch anything. The last servant was fired because she moved something."

"Neji is a total ass." Tenten muttered to herself. Lee chuckled.

"He is nice if you stay on his good side." With that Lee left Tenten alone in the room.

"This is going to be fun." With that Tenten got started on her work.


Tenten folded the last article of clothing and put it away. She left the room and slid the door shut.

She turned to leave and ran into someone. They fell to the floor with Tenten on the person. "Damn it." Tenten looked down at the idiot she ran into. "Oh shit." Tenten had fallen onto Neji and he didn't look too pleased. "I'm sorry sir."

She didn't know what to do so she just laid there staring at him. This close he's pretty good looking Tenten thought to herself.

"Just get off me." He said sternly. Tenten stood up and helped Neji to his feet.

"Sorry sir."

"Hn. Just make sure it doesn't happen again." Tenten nodded. "Stupid peasant." He muttered to himself, but Tenten heard him.

"Excuse me? Sorry Mr. High and Mighty. I'll be sure not to run into you again because you're so rich and perfect and I'm just trash. I shouldn't even be allowed to talk to you or even be in your presence." She said with sarcasm dripping from her tongue and gave him an exaggerated bow. "This job isn't worth it. Fuck you and have a wonderful day Sir Hyuga." With that Tenten turned and began walking to the door, but Neji grabbed her wrist, halting her leave.

"You're going to talk to me like that and walk off. I'm a Shogun and you're just a stupid peasant. I can ruin your life." Neji gripped her wrist tighter and pulled her face closer to his. "You are my servant and you will listen to what I say. Understand?" he gripped her wrist tighter.

"You're hurting me." Tenten growled. He was holding her wrist in a death grip. "Let go of me now. You don't own me." Tenten snarled into his face. She brought hers closer to his to try and intimidate him.

"I can fire you and make sure you never find another job. You work for me or no one." He told her sternly.

Tenten sighed on defeat. "Yes sir." She said quietly. I feel so trapped and helpless she thought.

"Good. Now bring me my lunch." He let go of her and turned to leave, but stopped and looked over his shoulder at her. "Do you have anything to say?"

"Actually-"

"Too bad." He then turned and walked off. What an ass! Tenten kept repeating in her mind as she went to fetch the demon his food.


"He is the fucking Devil!" Tenten complained again. The day was over and she was back at her home, complaining about her 'master' to Temari.

"Well you have no choice. If you don't work for him and do as he says you will never find another job. He is true to his word." Tenten groaned and laid on the ground.

"This sucks. My 'master' is a total asshole and I have to grin and bear him. Someone just kill me." Temari reached over and pat Tenten's head. Temari always thought of Tenten as a younger sister.

"Things will get better eventually. I'm sure if you be your usual pain in the ass self he will be willing to get rid of you." Temari said with a playful grin on her face. Tenten rolled away from her and put her head in her hands.

"This is Hell and he is the Devil."
