Firsts

by RennaV

Focuses on the firsts (hug, kiss, kill, time, etc) of Team Guy. Written for humor and to expand a bit on my "Twenty Truths about Team Guy" fic which you don't really have to read to understand this one. Truth or dare is involved. Swearing, sex as well as Neji X Tenten and Lee X OC. Guy funniness. Neji dons the green spandex. More craziness ensues. Updated as inspired.

4. Tenten

Tenten

Author's notes: ah the last chapter. Again, we're focusing on Tenten's first hug, kiss, kill, and time. We all ready know her first time is with Neji so we just get to see it from her perspective now.

General Warnings: Made up time lines, OOC-ness, on screen sex and swearing. And a reminder: Tenten (as per my Twenty Truths about Team Guy) thinks Neji is transgender: female body but identifies as male. You'll probably have to read Twenty Truths about Team Guy to understand fully.

The just of it: when she first sees Neji in her class she thinks he's a girl, something about the long hair and his delicate features...*cough* Anyway, when he nods to his name she thinks it's a strange name for a girl, even weirder when he goes into the men's room after she begins stalking him.

No, she never stops to think "hey, he's a real he" because she kind of gets stuck on the fact Neji is female. It's...complicated. ;)

Neji X Tenten Fluff and more ahead!

Hug

Tenten had never imagined being on a team with her crush. It was like a dream come true and she skipped towards the training field Guy-sensei told them to meet at despite it being almost four in the morning with the sun not even up yet.

She had never been much of a morning person and was always mere seconds from being late during her Academy days. Now she had the proper motivation to get up in the morning. It meant she got to see Neji all day and train with him for twelve or more hours.

Even better was during the past month Lee had taken to copying Guy-sensei's style and Guy-sensei now sparred with Lee in the afternoon. This meant Tenten could have her entire afternoon, four or more whole hours alone with Neji. She could stare at him all she wanted: his smooth pale flesh, the long dark brown hair, and those white eyes without him being the wiser because hey, a person had to look at their sparring partner, right?

Tenten got to the field to see Neji sitting under one of her targets, legs crossed in a lotus position and his eyes closed. His arms with their slender, long, delicate fingers were draped over his legs and if Tenten stared for long enough she could see some of the smooth skin of Neji's upper left thigh. The bandages on his right leg extended all the way up (to Tenten's disappointment) but at least she could see a lot of his silky looking flesh.

She licked her lips before summoning a kunai and chucking it. The knife hit dead center of the target above Neji's head. Tenten grinned as pale eyes opened and a little smirk graced his features. Neji got to his feet in a graceful motion and turned slightly to pull the kunai out of the target. He strode towards her and she stayed in place to watch him move.

He walked with confidence: steps measured but light and a slight sway to his hips. His arms hung loosely at his sides, moving ever so faintly with the motion of his legs. Long hair fluttered behind his head and the two straps from his hitai-ate wavered beside his high cheekbones. He stood a foot from her and handed her the kunai with its handle towards her.

"Good morning," Neji said softly.

His voice was deep, not fully at male tones he would have to make it take in a few years but deep enough no one could mistake him for female when he started talking. People occasionally mistook him for a female and it always made Tenten want to rage at those people for being so insensitive towards Neji's issues.

He couldn't help being born in the wrong body. The least people could do, would be to acknowledge the fact he wanted to be referred to as a guy despite the fact he was exceptionally pretty.

"Morning," Tenten said.

Neji inclined his head at her and gave her a mono-syllable sound of joy. Tenten smiled. The peaceful moment was broken when Guy-sensei and Lee shouted to them. Tenten turned to see the two arriving early today and running towards them with vigor. Tenten said nothing as the two stopped in front of her and Neji and Guy-sensei told them to line up.

Tenten did not move from her spot when Neji came to stand at her right side. Lee took her left side and stood at attention happily. Neji had crossed his arms over his chest and raised one eyebrow marginally.

"Laps," Guy-sensei announced.

They began. Tenten tried not to think about how she didn't have as much stamina as Lee or Neji. She chalked Lee's up to being a guy and unfortunately guys had a predisposition to building muscle and stamina faster. Neji though, well he had been born in a female's body so by rights he should be struggling at much as her.

No, he thought of himself as a guy so he would force his body to act the way he wanted, genetics be damned. Tenten almost laughed at the thought but saved her breath for the insane training routine.

By mid-morning she was covered in sweat. She had stains halfway down her shirt from her pits, dying the material a darker pink. She should probably be wearing something besides black pants but dang it, she liked this outfit. Sweat rolled down her back and even her arms glistened in it. She glanced to Neji to see how he was doing and grinned.

Neji had made it in front of her as normal so she got a great view of his grab worthy butt. His shorts were sticking in weird places and he had sweat stains down the sides of his light shirt. He had gone so far as to undo the top two straps and unzip his shirt to expose a tempting swatch of his chest.

Tenten didn't see any breast bindings, at least not at this level but Neji's zipper had not gone that low. And he probably wouldn't let it get that low. Still, it had to really hurt to keep his chest bound so tightly especially in this heat.

"Come my children! Let us keep bathing in our Springtime of Youth!"

"I am not his child," Neji muttered.

Tenten giggled. She let out a breath as Lee and Guy took off across the field doing lunges. Neji did not seem to be moving any time soon so she stood beside him. She kept trying to sneak peeks down his open shirt to see about the breast bindings but stopped. It was rude of her to try and besides Neji had extra keen eyes.

"I'm pretty sure Springtime of Youth is synonymous with being extra sweaty," Tenten said.

"Hn,"

Tenten knew this as Neji's sound of agreement. She watched as Neji lifted the hair off the back of his neck and let the brown locks fall over one shoulder. He really was too pretty to exist.

"I assume we should follow them," Neji said.

"Yeah," Tenten returned.

"Tenten! Neh-er, Neji! Come my children!"

Tenten kept her laugh back when Neji glared.

"Did he almost call me Neho?" Neji questioned.

"You should bring the sign for another week," Tenten suggested.

He huffed. Tenten followed him towards their sensei and they fell into lunges together. Finally at noon Guy-sensei called for a break. Tenten simply collapsed onto her butt from her standing position. Neji sat elegantly while Lee and Guy-sensei settled but not as regally as Neji had.

Tenten sipped her water gratefully and watched Neji out of the corner of her eye. Neji's eyes were half closed as he tilted his water bottle towards his mouth. His lips were moist, parted enough to keep him from spilling but even so one little droplet had escaped the corner of his mouth and traveled downwards on his face, hanging off his chin until it landed on his open shirt.

"Let us eat," Guy-sensei said.

Tenten tore her eyes away from Neji and opened her bento box. She did keep watching as Neji opened his lunch and began eating delicately. Everything he did was so precise and refined but there was hidden strength under each movement, kind of like his attacks in general.

Tenten offered Neji the herring soba she had painstakingly made last night and he blinked at her. Neji thanked her softly and offered up his bento box in exchange. She took some of his maki rolls but he didn't look like he cared much. The corner of his lips turned upwards into the tiniest of smiles and Tenten grinned inwardly in victory.

It had taken her three whole months to get this close to him and every day seemed like a new challenge. Tenten didn't mind challenges though. In fact, she loved them. It was one of the reasons she liked being on Team Guy so much despite Guy-sensei's insanity.

"Lee! Let us spar!"

Tenten looked up to see the two green clad guys had finished their lunch and were now racing away. Tenten tilted her head towards Neji who had his chopsticks in his mouth and a soba noodle stuck out the corner of his lips. Tenten pursed her lips to keep from laughing. Neji got the errant noodle into his mouth, chewed, swallowed, and licked his lips as he looked at her.

"They are insane," Neji said.

"Yep," Tenten agreed.

She would've said yes to whatever Neji had said as she was still stuck on him licking his lips. Neji shook his head and went back to his lunch. They finished eating after another ten minutes but Neji did not rise to spar. He sat on the grass but did stretch out his legs in front of him before leaning back to rest on his elbows. Tenten gulped.

"Do you mind relaxing a bit longer?" Neji asked.

"Nope, we can relax," Tenten replied.

"Hn,"

His happy sound complete with a small smile. Tenten felt her cheeks heat but kept her giggle down. She was in heaven, simply sitting beside Neji while he lounged, long shapely legs spread out in front of him, shirt open to reveal a bit of chest, and eyes half-closed in happiness.

Tenten tried not to be so obvious in staring at him but knew she failed. He didn't seem to mind the slightest bit so she kept watching him. Her eyes flitted to the opening of his shirt but she still couldn't see the breast bindings. Neji's zipper stopped right where the start of bindings would begin. She looked to the juncture between his legs but his shorts were too darned loose for her to see anything special. Oh well.

She went back to gazing at his profile and he did not remark. He had such dainty features but she would never tell him. It would be a blow to the masculine pride he tried to keep and she didn't want to insult him, not like that. His eyelashes were amazingly long and his eyebrows so elegantly shaped. His lips were a bit on the thin side but heart-shaped and tinted the palest of pinks to go with his overall light skin tone.

"Tenten," Neji said.

"Um, yeah?" Tenten asked.

"Is there a reason you keep staring at me?"

Neji pegged her with those pretty white eyes and she wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Of course he had caught her staring. He was Hyuuga Freaking Neji.

"Um, you're nice to look at," Tenten said.

Oh crap. She had not said that out loud! Neji blinked at her and one eyebrow raised. A little smirk came to his face and he nodded.

"Thank you," Neji said.

Tenten let out a breath. He hadn't taken any deeper meaning to her words. Then again she could tell him she meant more than him being pretty to stare at. Tenten opened her mouth to say how much she liked him but what came out was a yelp.

Neji made a sort of choked garbled shriek when Tenten barrelled into him and landed on his stomach with one hand on Neji's chest and the other on his upper thigh. Neji's hands had ended up on her shoulder and her butt.

Neji was touching her butt.

Neji was touching her butt.

Tenten felt the heat explode across her entire face but grinned. She didn't even care she had a face full of grass at the moment and someone was on top of her flailing their arms and legs. Nope, the world could explode tomorrow. Neji was touching her butt.

"Ah, Neji! Tenten! I'm sorry," Lee said.

So it was Lee lying across her back and moving around like an idiot. Lee had likely been thrown into them by Guy-sensei and hadn't been able to recover enough before he went on a collision course. Tenten didn't care. Neji had his hand on her butt.

"LEE!"

Wow. Who knew Neji could be so loud?

Tenten blinked as the weight of Lee left her back. She looked up to see Neji had thrown Lee off of her and was getting up. Aw. Tenten didn't want to get up.

She ended up rolling off him but he caught her. Tenten could die right now and be happy. Neji had touched her butt and now he was hugging her.

Well, technically it wasn't a hug. He had one hand on her shoulder and the other around her waist while one of her hands was on his shoulder and the other was on his hip. He had stopped her from falling to the ground as he got up, that's all. Tenten would still consider this a hug though.

"Are you all right?" Neji questioned.

"Uh-huh,"

"Your face is beat red,"

"Heat,"

"Hn. I am going to go kill Lee,"

"Have fun,"

"Hn,"

Neji placed her down softly and Tenten couldn't help but stupidly smile up at him. He gave her a final look consisting of one eyebrow raised in confusion, but took off to go kill Lee. Tenten giggled when he left and stayed lying down in the grass. She didn't even care Lee started shouting for mercy after a few minutes. She wouldn't have cared if a war started around her and she would be killed because she didn't want to get up.

Neji had touched her butt and she got to hug him. Best day ever.

Kiss

Tenten ignored the giggling of Ino and Sakura, well for the most part. Hinata had gone red all over and was jabbing her fingers together, head down and longer hair falling over her cheeks. Temari grinned at them from the head of the table. Tenten kept her mouth shut as the Suna kunoichi kept smiling in victory.

It made sense for Temari to have had her first kiss all ready. Temari was two years older than Tenten, three years older than the other girls. It did strike Tenten as funny that Temari was dating someone three years younger, one Nara Shikamaru. Though technically they weren't dating, according to her, and Tenten knew it was because Shikamaru was too lazy for anything to be labelled between them.

"You're such a cradle robber," Ino said.

"So what? Guys can be with a girl a decade younger so why can't a girl be with a guy who's a few years younger?" Temari asked.

This was one of the things Tenten liked about Temari. The older girl had a sort of feminist ideal and did not care about being considered a bitch if she spoke her mind.

"So, how are things between you and the Hyuuga?" Temari questioned.

Tenten kept back her flush and jabbed her spoon a bit hard into her ice cream. No one commented. They knew better and knew Tenten could turn a spoon into a weapon.

"The same," Tenten said.

Temari rolled her teal eyes as did Ino. Sakura smirked. Hinata's flush had gone away but now she had a frown on her face.

"You mean he's still oblivious to the fact you like him," Temari said.

"Yeah," Tenten muttered.

"You're vocal about everything else that might bug you. Why not this?" Ino asked.

Tenten rammed her spoon into her ice cream again which made Ino wince and lean back into her chair a bit. Tenten kept her smirk down.

"Why don't you tell Sai you like him?" Tenten returned.

Ino opened her mouth but flushed and closed it. Tenten did let her smirk out this time as Sakura chuckled. Hinata hummed but went back to her ice cream.

"For some reason, geniuses tend to be idiots when it comes to love," Temari said.

Ino nodded and Tenten frowned before shrugging. She didn't have to be told that. Jeez, she had been staring at Neji since they were twelve. Then again she had told him he was nice to stare at three months into their training with Guy-sensei. Her big mouth was probably why Neji didn't know she liked him as way more than a friend.

"I think all boys are idiots when it comes to love," Sakura said.

They all looked to Hinata. Her eyes went wide and her cheeks colored again. She kept her spoon in her mouth and Tenten wanted to squeeze her cheeks. She didn't.

"I mean really, how long does it take a guy to figure out a girl likes or doesn't like you?" Ino said.

"Yeah, I mean I've rejected Lee enough times he should've gotten it through his head by now. No offense, Tenten," Sakura said.

Tenten shrugged. Lee had a thing for red-heads or pinkettes in Sakura's case. Heck anytime they went on a mission and Lee saw a girl with strawberry blond hair he got distracted. Tenten didn't want to tell Sakura if Yusa ever came back the med-nin would be dropped so fast Sakura wouldn't know what to do. Tenten ate her melting ice cream instead.

"Lip gloss tends to help," Temari said.

Tenten rolled her eyes. She had tried the lip gloss trick a few weeks ago. Neji had looked at her, tilted his head to a side, and raised an eyebrow. Then she got to spend the day brushing errant hairs off her mouth as they got caught in the sticky gloss while he smirked at her in amusement.

"And eyeliner," Temari went on.

Tenten had tried eyeliner too. All it had done was become racoon eyes by the end of the training day which made Neji chuckle at her. At least he had asked why she had been bothering with make-up then told her she looked fine without it. It was good to know he preferred her natural look.

"Yeah, if he notices," Sakura said.

"Or the make-up doesn't make a mess of you," Tenten muttered.

"Huh?" the other four asked.

Tenten sighed and described the lip gloss and eye liner incident. Sakura and Ino gaped. Temari raised her eyebrows and Hinata looked like she was trying not to laugh.

"Okay, well, he noticed. It didn't impress him?" Ino questioned.

"Not one bit. He got a laugh out of it more than anything else," Tenten replied.

Temari snorted and shook her head. Ino and Sakura gave her pitying looks. Hinata had a smirk on her face.

"Why don't you try wearing a different outfit for training?" Temari questioned.

Tenten had to grin at this suggestion. She had tried a different outfit a few times, one consisting of short tight shorts, a sports bra, and a tee shirt which had been loose, hung off her shoulders and ended well above her navel. Neji had stared at her in wonder for a few moments then smirked. Part way through the day he had complained of the heat and taken his shirt off. Then they both got distracted and she almost took his eye out with a senbon.

"Yeah, it worked well but I'd rather not have us both distracted enough where I take out an eye," Tenten said.

All of them gaped. Tenten explained which sent them into fits of laughter. Tenten ate her ice cream. She had still worn the outfit the next day to training and didn't miss the grin Neji had given her or the way his eyes kept studying her. They had trained extensively with her Bo that day, especially when he took his shirt off again.

"Well I guess sharp pointy projectiles and distraction won't work," Temari said.

"Nope. Even if I use my Bo we tend to get caught up in non-sparring things," Tenten said.

They laughed again but Tenten didn't mind.

"Ladies, what's so funny?"

They all turned to see Kiba grinning at them with Akamaru at his side. Shino stood a little behind Kiba with Shikamaru. Shino and Shikamaru looked bored but Kiba's fangs were sticking out as he kept smiling.

"Girl stuff," Tenten said.

Kiba snorted but grabbed a chair from the table behind them, turned it so the back faced the girls, and settled it in with legs parted and one arm hanging over the back of the chair. Temari smirked, unimpressed, but Ino did study Kiba's leather clad legs. Tenten hated to admit how hot Kiba looked in the leather. She wanted to ask him to get Neji into a pair of tight leather pants, a mesh shirt, and maybe a leather vest.

Tenten blushed when Kiba gave her a look which consisted of a raised eyebrow and a smirk. Damn it, he thought she had the hots for him. Stupid Inuzuka senses.

"Anyway, what's on the agenda for you girls today?" Kiba questioned.

"Shopping," Ino said.

Sakura, Temari, and Hinata nodded happily. Tenten huffed. She would rather sharpen all her weapons than go shopping. Then again sharpening weapons wasn't a chore to her. Shopping was. It didn't make sense to Tenten. Why did she need so many pairs of useless heels and dresses she couldn't fight in?

"Pity,"

They all turned and Tenten grinned when Neji strode up to them looking as gorgeous as ever. She still disliked the fact he had gone from shorts and a short sleeved shirt to loose pants, a long sleeved loose shirt, and the weird man-skirt robe. At least in his genin outfit he had shown more skin.

"Why's it a pity?" Ino asked.

"Lee and Guy-sensei are back and they will likely be upset Tenten cannot come to say hello," Neji said.

Tenten wanted to jump for joy. Instead she nodded.

"Sorry, I should go say hi," Tenten said.

"No," Sakura whined. "Then they'll rope you into training for the rest of the day."

Tenten really wouldn't mind. Being roped into training meant she could keep her money and got to hang out with Neji. The day was even warm enough where Neji might discard his shirt or he would at least get damp enough it would become somewhat clingy and see-through.

"He's my sensei," Tenten said.

"Fine, fine, try to meet us later at Junji's Dress Shop," Ino said.

Tenten nodded and finished her ice cream. She stood and deposited the proper amount of ryo onto the table before walking away with Neji. He said nothing but a little smile appeared on his lips. They made it to the training field within half an hour to see Lee and Guy all ready in their post mission training.

"Welcome back," Tenten called out.

"Tenten, our blossom! Neji, our genius!"

Guy-sensei ran up to her and hugged her. She took it with a laugh especially when Lee joined and pulled Neji into the hug. Neji let out his "hn" of annoyance but they all knew he wasn't annoyed, especially since the single syllable sounded more like his happy "hn."

"I hope you two have been keeping up on your training since Lee and I have been gone," Guy-sensei said.

"Of course," Neji told him.

Guy-sensei gave them a final squeeze before letting them go. Neji brushed off the shoulders of his shirt but had a little smile on his face. Guy-sensei demanded they show him what they had done and Neji nodded. Tenten grinned.

It was easy to fall into a sparring session with Neji. She flung weapon after weapon at him then decided to work with her Bo early. It meant closer contact and she could stare into his white eyes for as long as she wanted. Neji did not mind their change in tactics and Tenten didn't pay attention to Guy-sensei cheering them on or the fact Lee was oddly quiet.

Jab, swing, poke, slash, she continued trying to hit Neji with her Bo while he either blocked or shifted enough the weapon missed him by centimeters. Neji struck out where he could, fingertips brushing against her bare arms. She was glad she had decided to wear a tank top today. Really it wasn't a shirt she should be sparring in but she had intended to go out with the girls.

The tank top was clingy, white with a fire design on it, and showed a bit of cleavage Neji seemed to be distracted by. Tenten wore semi-tight black shorts with the shirt and the shorts ended at her mid-thighs. Neji also seemed to be sidetracked by her legs. Never mind she was in black flip flops she would have to kick off soon or risk losing her footing.

Too late.

Tenten's left foot skidded along the grass in a way she didn't want. Neji caught her Bo in one hand, a smirk coming to his face, as his other hand lashed out to finish it. Tenten frowned but aimed a kick towards his chest. He had nowhere to go unless he wanted to release her weapon. He didn't let go of her Bo and grunted when her kick landed on his sternum.

It made them both stumble backwards a bit but her Bo was still in his hand. Tenten flipped over his head, clinging to her weapon and forcing his arm back. He spun with her and smirked when they ended up face to face again. Tenten grinned at him and tried twirling out of his grip. He followed.

Sure she was impressed by the way he could keep up with her and counter her strikes with such dance-like moves but for once she wanted to get her Bo out of his hands so she could smack him over the head with it. Tenten heard Guy-sensei shouting "Go Lee" and had a feeling this would be a three way fight soon.

Neji had heard as well if the little frown and slight furrowing of his brows was any indication. Tenten almost started laughing at him. She knew how much he enjoyed their sparring sessions and how he hated it when Lee "interrupted." They couldn't help it. Lee liked fighting with them. It was an expression of his youth.

Tenten saw a blur of green land right beside them. Neji still hadn't let go of her Bo. She knew she would have to switch weapons but didn't want to, not really. She loved her Bo. All thoughts of fighting tactics left her mind when Lee's hand went to the back of her head. She noticed Lee had placed his hand at the back of Neji's head as well. Tenten had a split second to wonder what Lee was on before Lee smashed their heads together.

No, whacked their lips together. Oh crap.

"Start dating all ready and enjoy your youth!"

Tenten would have smacked him but Lee had let go. Neji hadn't. In fact, Neji had dropped her Bo to wrap one arm around her waist and rest one hand on her shoulder. Tenten felt her head swimming in delight and let go of her Bo so she could place both her hands on Neji's shoulders. From this position she could run her fingers through the hair at the back of his neck. Tenten closed her eyes, noticing before she did Neji's eyes had slipped shut.

His lips were soft, warm, and wow did he know how to kiss. He hadn't even opened his mouth yet and Tenten felt heat from her head all the way down to her toes. She wanted to rip their clothes off right then. She didn't want this moment to end.

Neji hummed into the kiss and pulled her until she was completely flush against him. She had no problem with this and showed him by tugging at the hairs at the nape of his neck. He made a sort of purring sound and Tenten wanted to dance around in joy. It would mean breaking the kiss and she was so not doing that yet.

She did feel odd though and not in a good way. Apparently Neji felt the same as when Tenten opened her eyes she met with his white ones. She reluctantly pulled her mouth away from his and turned her head to the right, Neji's left. Lee stood a foot and a half away with a grin on his face and a thumb up.

Tenten felt her entire face go red and saw Neji's cheeks turn deep pink. His Byakugan activated, his eyebrows narrowed, and he snarled. Tenten grinned at him and used her foot to get her Bo back up into her hands.

"Hey Lee," Tenten said.

Lee stared at her, still smiling. Oh he didn't realize how much trouble he was in.

"Yes?" Lee asked.

She spotted Neji smirking. She loved he was on the same wavelength as her.

"Do you know what time it is?" Neji questioned.

Tenten tightened the grip on her Bo and saw Neji's hands tensing. Lee still didn't get it and blinked, looking somewhat confused.

"Um, it's—" Lee started.

"Time to die you idiot!"

She wanted to laugh at Lee's horrified but somewhat amused expression as she and Neji had synced perfectly. Lee kept staring in wonder when Tenten raised her Bo and swung it towards his head. Neji's hands lashed out towards Lee's chest but he luckily dodged both (barely) then started running.

Tenten wanted to hug Lee for getting her and Neji to finally kiss, her first one too, but first she was going to kill him. Tenten saw Neji had the same thought in mind and grinned. Oh yeah, they were meant for each other.

Kill

Their first B-Rank mission came two weeks after they had been promoted to chunin, Neji to jonin thanks to Gaara. Guy-sensei was out on an S-Rank mission but Tsunade-sama had simply grinned and said Neji would be in charge. It would be his first official mission as a team leader and Tenten couldn't help but grin. Lee had smacked Neji on the back in congratulations (once they were out of the Hokage's office) and Neji had given them a small smile.

"Our mission is to gather intelligence on the shinobi of the Hidden Rain Village," Neji said.

"We are to infiltrate their main Village and see for certain whether or not they are harbouring a member of the Akatsuki. We will leave in two hours. Pack supplies for two weeks and meet me at the gates."

"Yosh! We will burn brightly in our Springtime of Youth!"

Lee took off running. Neji snorted at Lee's departure but met her eyes. Tenten smiled, wishing the fluttery feeling in her stomach would go away. This was not the time for her feelings for him to rear their head just because Neji had made jonin and was now going to be officially leading them. She would make sure this mission didn't fail no matter what.

Neji had a perfect mission record besides the Find and Return Sasuke mission. She would not be the reason he had to have a second black spot especially when he would be the one leading said mission.

"Tenten, ah," Neji started but stopped.

She blinked at him. Neji had a flush on his cheeks, light but still there.

"Um, when we leave Konoha, ah," Neji tried again.

He scowled. Tenten kept staring. He had something important to say but didn't want to insult her. She took his hand in both of hers and he smiled.

"I mean no offense when I say this but when we leave Konoha and for the duration of the mission only, well, we cannot act as a couple," Neji said.

Oh. Well this made sense. Wait. It meant no holding hands, no kissing, no standing too close, no brushing his hair in the morning, and no teasing each other. Oh. Damn.

"Right, got it," Tenten said.

Neji inclined his head. Lee had smashed their faces together right before their second chunin exams, two months after the fateful fancy dress mission where Neji had finally realized how much he liked her. It had been difficult hiding their relationship during the chunin exams but luckily Lee knew about them and gave them some space when they asked. They couldn't do that on a mission.

"Tenten?"

She kissed his cheek. Neji hummed and their lips met. Tenten sunk into the kiss, closing her eyes happily and wrapping her arms around his shoulders so her hands could run through the hair at the back of his neck. He pulled back too soon and Tenten realized they were at the front doors of the Hokage Tower where anyone could see them.

Tenten felt her cheeks heat, saw Neji's go a deep shade of pink, and they pulled fully apart. Neji let out a little breath and ran a hand over his hair. Tenten cleared her throat but smiled.

"Right, none of that," Tenten said.

Neji smirked but nodded. They walked down the steps together then parted ways. Tenten tried not to think of how difficult it would be not to touch Neji. Jeez, they had only been dating two months. She had to have some control.

They met at the gates and left Konoha. Tenten kept her position behind Neji and focused on the area around them rather than her boyfriend's butt. Lee kept slightly ahead and did not see how Tenten's attention had been divided. Neji would know. He did have the Byakugan activated after all. Tenten sighed.

This would be a long mission.

---

Two weeks went by and Tenten could not be happier they were headed back to Konoha. The mission had been a success and they knew for sure the Akatsuki had a base somewhere in the Hidden Rain Village. Unfortunately they had been spotted so instead of calmly running back to Konoha they were running for their lives.

Tenten ran beside Neji and to the right while Lee took Neji's left side. Neji's Byakugan was activated, there was a scowl on his face, and his eyebrows were furrowed. He was not happy. Tenten didn't blame him.

Two weeks of being always damp and forced to share close corridors when they could not touch had been Hell. Then the stress of the actual mission and the general feeling of being constantly soaked because no, it never stopped raining in the Hidden Rain Village. Now they were being chased by six jonin level shinobi, one of who they suspected to be a member of the Akatsuki.

The suspect Akatsuki shinobi had short blue hair with bangs that fell next to her cheeks, amber-orange eyes, a piercing under the middle of her full lower lip, and a rose, pale blue in color and made of paper on the right side of her head which concealed a small bun. She wore blue eye shadow, black skin tight pants and a blue kind of vest with a high collar. The vest split above her navel and the ends of it extended back like a sort of cape.

She didn't wear a hitai-ate but the Hidden Rain Village Shinobi followed her orders. Normally they wouldn't be running but this jonin made paper peel off her skin to slice at them and attempt to engulf them. So far all of them had minute cuts over their outfits, even Neji.

Paper flew at them like senbon needles. Neji easily sunk into his Revolving Heaven which protected her and Lee as well as him. The paper stuck to his chakra though and he had to give up on the technique before he became surrounded. Tenten had to toss a few shuriken out so he had a clear escape path but even so a small square of paper sliced through his left cheek. Neji didn't even wince.

Water attacks came at them next, made worse because they were still in the Rain Country where there was tones of water falling from the sky for the shinobi behind them to use. They dodged the attacks for the most part but Lee got hit in the lower back with a pillar of water. It sent him into a tree branch, stomach first, but he flipped off it and landed on a tree branch ahead with a wince.

Tenten scowled. Her expression became fiercer when they came to a large clearing with a lake in the middle of it. Well crap.

"Shortest way," Neji muttered.

"More room for us to fight in too," Tenten said.

"Hn,"

His agreement sound. Tenten smiled. She and Neji landed near the lake but Lee kept ahead. Tenten knew the stance and frowned. Lee had no choice.

"First Gate: Gate of Opening, Release!"

Tenten unleashed her Bo. Neji got into his fighting stance. The Rain Shinobi were at the edge of the tree line now.

"Second Gate: Gate of Healing, Release!"

The potential Akatsuki shinobi raised her hand which made the other five still. They watched from the tree line as Tenten spun her Bo, Neji allowed the chakra to seep over his hands, and Lee released the Gates.

"Third Gate: Gate of Life, Release!"

Lee's skin turned bright red. The grass and earth under his feet began to crumble and surround him from the sheer amount of power his body now produced. Blue waves of chakra wavered around his form as any rain landing on Lee's body sizzled upon impact. Green mist surrounded him and his eyes went completely white. The Akatsuki shinobi narrowed her eyes.

Lee let out a shout and attacked. So did the Rain Shinobi. Tenten easily stepped in the way of one while four went right to Lee. Neji got to tangle with the potential Akatsuki member which Tenten knew was a bad match. Most all of Neji's attacks were close range and the blue-haired woman did not have to stay in close range.

As it was, the woman had formed giant wings out of her paper body and flown above Neji's head, releasing more paper to slice at him. He still dodged and employed the Mountain Crusher. The wind from his release of chakra blew the woman upwards and she widened her eyes in shock. Tenten snorted.

Lee had all ready decimated three of the four shinobi who had attacked him. One had his entire chest caved in from the force of one of Lee's kicks and had died from all of his ribs piercing every organ they were made to protect. The shocked look on the shinobi's face would remain forever.

Another had no head. Brain matter, blood, and bits of skull littered the area where the man's head should be but Lee had punched it off. The third's legs had been crushed. Lee had swiped the man's feet out from under him and ended up breaking every bone in the man's lower body, leaving him to suffer as the femoral artery bleed out from being pierced by the femur.

"Reverse Lotus," Lee shouted.

The fourth guy would be dead in a minute. Paper Lady smirked but dissolved into thousands of bits of paper. Instead of attacking, the paper took off. Tenten smacked her guy in the head, knocking him out, while Neji watched the potential Akatsuki escape. They couldn't go after her and they all knew it.

"Hn,"

Neji's disappointed sound. Tenten smirked but bent to tie up the man she had knocked out. They would bring him back to Konoha for questioning. Neji walked over to Lee who knelt on the grass, wincing in pain as he closed up the three gates he opened. She stood when finished tying the guy and was about to join her teammates when a flash of something went by her.

The seconds which followed slowed for her as her eyes spotted the stream of water meant to pierce through all the rain. Her eyes widened when she saw the water headed right towards Neji's blind spot. Tenten reacted before she knew exactly what she was doing.

As she turned to face the enemy one hand tossed a kunai towards Neji outside of his blind spot but close enough he would duck out of the way, see the water, and move completely to avoid it. Her other hand went to a small scroll at her waist as her feet led her to the man who was now trying to escape.

No one would attempt to kill her boyfriend and get away with it if she could help it.

The Rain Shinobi kept running but Tenten had not spent the past three years of her life training under Guy-sensei for nothing. She leaped into the air, five feet behind the man who had tried to kill Neji, and unleashed her scroll.

Hundreds of small thumbnail sized balls flung out of her scroll and landed on the man, sticking to every bit of skin, cloth, or hair. She smirked and backed off as the shinobi stopped and stared at the black orbs. Tenten did not notice Neji, with Lee on his back, had caught up to her. If she had she might have thrown a kunai into the back of the man's neck and ignored her teammates' questions about the small balls.

"Bang," Tenten said as she formed the tiger seal.

The man exploded into bits as every ball was a tiny bomb. Blood rained down along with bits of skin hardly visible with a normal eye. Bone fragments that resembled slivers fell from the sky. Clothing had been completely evaporated as had any metal, plastic or other materials. As it was so had the man's internal organs and his skin had turned black.

There was literally nothing left of the man who had tried to kill Neji except for a rain of blood which stopped after a few moments. The drops had been so scattered there was not even a pool of blood left to show anyone had been standing there seconds ago. The normal rain water would make any drop of blood soak into the ground. She had taken her first kill and obliterated any evidence of it in one shot.

"Ah," Neji said.

Tenten turned to see Neji standing on a tree branch to her left, jaw dropped, eyes wide, and eyebrows lost somewhere under his hitai-ate. Lee had the same expression on his face. Tenten rubbed the back of her head when she met Neji's eyes. She smiled.

"No one tries to kill my boyfriend."

---

"C'mon man, just tell us," Kiba said.

Okay, so Tenten hadn't been invited to the guy's night out. Sure, she probably shouldn't be sitting on the roof top of the building across from Naruto's while her boyfriend, teammate, and the other males got a little drunk and talked. She likely shouldn't have binoculars aimed to the open window either. And yeah, she probably shouldn't have stuck a wire on Neji.

Thing was, he had asked her to stick a wire on him simply because he tended to talk (a lot) when he got a little drunk. Lee would never tell him what he said for fear of his life so Tenten had suggested the wire and to monitor him so she could pull him out if needed.

Neji was a bit more than a little drunk. Kiba had made sure of this. Neji hadn't complained and Lee hadn't noticed, too distracted he was by Naruto. It had probably been the plan. Tenten didn't mind her boyfriend getting a little drunk.

Then again Neji had a low tolerance for alcohol, nothing like Lee's but still pretty damned low. Tenten figured she should be embarrassed she could drink her boyfriend under the table and keep going but she didn't mind wearing the pants in some aspects of their relationship.

"Tell you what?" Neji asked.

Kiba rolled his eyes then grinned. Neji raised an eyebrow.

"What Tenten's first kill was like," Kiba replied.

They were still on it after all this time. Tenten smirked. She had been the only one out of their group not to talk about her first kill. Tenten saw Lee, the single sober one, shaking his head. Poor guy couldn't even get tipsy which would suck.

"Why do you want to know?" Neji questioned.

He sipped his drink. Kiba opened his mouth but didn't get any words out before being interrupted.

"Because the answers of messy, interesting, efficient, unexpected, and amazing are no longer sufficient," Shino said.

Tenten snickered. Neji finished the drink in his hand and smiled. The guys knew this would be the time to see Neji smile and ask him whatever they wanted. His Hyuuga pride and decorum tanked when he got, well, tanked.

"You really want to know?" Neji asked.

Shikamaru snorted. Choji nodded while eating his chips. Naruto and Kiba nodded happily. Shino raised a beer while Sai gave that stupid fake smile of his. Lee rubbed his temples. Neji grabbed another beer.

"She blew a man up," Neji said.

Silence. Kiba groaned and rubbed his forehead. Naruto deadpanned. Shikamaru rolled his eyes and muttered his catchphrase. Even Sai, Choji, and Shino looked disappointed.

"That's it?" Kiba questioned.

Neji chuckled. Lee shivered.

"It wasn't a single bomb. Oh no, she had all these tiny bombs stick all over the guy, like hundreds, made the tiger seal and said 'bang.' The guy evaporated, like rain of blood for a minute or two so fine the rain just washed it away. No trace of skin, bone, or anything left. Just her saying 'bang' and nothing except this rain of blood. I couldn't even find a trace of blood or body parts after. Me. Not finding a trace of this guy. He was just like, poof, gone," Neji said complete with hand motions.

Now all of them gaped with wide eyes and mouths, except Lee who kept nodding. Neji chuckled before taking a sip of his beer. He had the biggest smile on his face. Tenten wanted to kiss him but she would have to wait to do it later.

"Apparently no one tries to kill her boyfriend," Neji went on. "It was the scariest and sexiest thing I've ever seen her do."

Tenten grinned. She was glad her boyfriend had found those particular bombs sexy. She had been worried the rest of the way back to Konoha that he would dump her or something. He had simply nodded to her though and everything had progressed as normal.

"Seriously, it was so hot: the little grin of victory on her face. And you know she wears that white shirt now and rain plus white, well, yeah. Trust me when I say it was a really difficult mission. Plus she was kind of crouching in damp clothes so her pants were really tight over her butt. She has a great ass," Neji said.

Tenten rolled her eyes. Yep. It was time to extract her boyfriend from the party. Tenten jumped off the roof with a smile. At least they both agreed on yet another subject. Apparently they both had great asses.

Tenten giggled. She would never let Neji live this one down.

Time

She had seen him running across the flat area of ground which used to be Konoha. Tenten watched him head towards their old training field and frowned. Hyuuga Neji rarely ran from his problems so when he did there would be something seriously wrong.

Tenten wiped the sweat from her cheeks, not caring she was covered in dirt with leaves in her hair and sweat leaking down her pits and neck. Neji wouldn't care either. She put down the two by four she had been carrying and took off after Neji.

She knew what was wrong without even having to ask. Seeing the devastation around them had made him show a kind of fear she hadn't seen in a long time. She even had a pretty good idea of what had triggered him. He worked on digging up the remains of the Hyuuga compound and had likely seen his mementos buried or ruined in the dirt.

She easily leaped into the trees when she came to them and allowed her steps to lead her to her boyfriend. Tenten smirked when she found him right where she had expected to: in the clearing not far from their old training grounds.

His eyes were closed, his head down, and it looked as if he would cry at any moment. He leaned against one of the big trees Konoha was known for and kept his hands clenched at his sides and trembling. Despite digging in the dirt all day his outfit still had its pristine look and not a single hair stood out of place. She would ask him how he managed this one of these days.

Tenten saw him let out a long breath and shake his head. She jumped down from the tree, landing silently and gracefully at the edge of the clearing before whipping a kunai towards his head, two inches to the right of his ear. It hit the bark of the tree with a thunk which made Neji lift his head and open his eyes. She got to the edge of the clearing and knew she had a frown on her face. She hated seeing him so upset.

"Neji,"

"Tenten,"

His deep voice came out soft, slightly trembling, and she sighed before striding forward. He needed someone now but would never admit it. Her Neji would never admit to needing her near him but she knew. She always knew.

She looked up into his eyes when she got within six inches of him and inwardly smiled when he lowered his eyelids a bit so his eyes did not seem so intimidating. People thought Neji was a jerk but the little things he did, like the eyelid lowering, made her love him all the more. He had a sensitive soul but showed it to few people. Tenten like being one of the few people he showed this side to.

"What are you doing out here?" Tenten asked.

Neji frowned, almost a scowl, and considered. She liked he thought about his answers even to simple questions.

"Reflecting,"

So much in the single word but she knew what he meant. He thought about the destruction of their home and how utterly pointless it had been. Pain had gained nothing by obliterating Konoha except the fact he had pissed off a lot of powerful shinobi.

He thought about all the lost memories in the Village and how long it would take them to rebuild. He considered the fact even when they rebuilt Konoha wouldn't be the same, not really. Tenten nodded once and he blinked.

She blew the bangs out of her eyes and lowered her hands to take his into hers. Their hands were so different: hers calloused from her weapons with dirt under her broken nails while his were soft, smooth, and had perfect clean nails. She squeezed his hands gently and grinned inwardly when he returned the motion. They kept staring into each other's eyes.

"It's okay," Tenten said.

She knew she didn't have to say anything. Their body language spoke louder than any words they could say to each other. She knew him probably better than she knew herself but didn't mind. He knew her as well as she knew him. They clicked. They worked well together in every aspect of the word and Tenten could never, ever, find a better man to spend the rest of her life with. She wondered if he would ask the question soon and if his clan would put up a fuss.

Neji nodded at her. She smiled then got up on her tiptoes to kiss his mouth softly with her lips closed. She giggled to herself when his eyes fell shut. Tenten wanted to snicker and blush when his hands wrapped around her waist and drew her close.

Neji had always been her dream guy. She didn't even care he was transgender and they probably wouldn't be able to have kids or properly do it. She liked girls as much as she liked guys so being greeted with a vagina when they did get around to full blown sex was no problem.

His hands were clenching in the fabric of her shirt to keep her in place. She wrapped her arms around his chest to tangle in his hair, his glorious hair. Tenten managed to hold back her shiver when he hummed into the kiss then opened his mouth.

Tenten opened her lips when Neji prodded for entrance then nibbled on his lower lip, knowing it drove him wild when she did. As expected, Neji clutched her harder and Tenten tried not to focus on how damp she was getting down below. She would have to avoid Kiba the rest of the day.

She pushed against him and let Neji win the battle for dominance going on in their mouths. He liked to win, something to do with male pride and Tenten didn't mind obliging him when he needed to feel male.

Tenten gasped when Neji ran his hands up and down her back. She thrust against him, hard, and closed her eyes. Damn did he ever know how to make her feel good! She shoved against him again and heard him fail in holding back a grunt.

Tenten kept pushing against him as his hands wandered along her back and to her hips. She didn't mind when his hands ran up her sides, towards her breasts. She did gasp when he rubbed the side swell of her breasts and kept pushing against him. She would need to change her panties, never mind staying away from Kiba.

Tenten needed to hold onto him before falling over. She grabbed his right shoulder hard and was about to grab the other but decided to hell with it. She had always wanted to grab Neji's ass so grab she did, the left cheek. Before he could laugh at her like she knew he would, she kissed him hard. He moaned into her mouth and Tenten held back a smirk.

Tenten rubbed the flesh in her hands and grinned in victory when Neji began to meet her thrust for thrust. Oh this was getting hot. She hadn't meant to comfort him like this when she came out here to find him but she had no problem with their make-out session.

Tenten opened her eyes when his hands went under her shirt. They hadn't done under the clothing. Oh shit. He'd grabbed her left breast. She felt his fingers against her back and almost froze when he began working on the clasp.

They were moving forward, that was for sure. Tenten found she didn't mind, not really, especially when he massaged her breast in one hand and kept thrusting against her so wonderfully. She did notice something important.

Neji had an issue in getting her bra off.

Tenten giggled at him but he said nothing. He had to stop rubbing her breast so both hands could work on the clasp and Tenten wished she could stop laughing. The smirk on his face when he got her bra undone didn't help calm her but when Neji's hands went under her bra all she could do was inhale sharply.

He had started stroking her breasts, smooth fingers dancing across her nipples and Tenten bit back a moan. So, he wanted to play this game huh? Well she was not about to be outdone by him. Tenten shoved her hands down the back of his pants, past the weird man-skirt, the robes, and his underwear until she could grab his bare ass. She smirked when Neji let out a strangled gasp then kissed her.

Tenten shoved him harder against the tree and groaned when he got a knee between her legs to rub at her throbbing groin. Oh she could play this game too. Tenten squeezed his ass, god it felt so nice, and gently pushed her knee up against his groin to rub him.

She almost laughed when he gasped and squeezed her breasts in his hands. A snort had escaped but she hid her expression by kissing his neck. Jeez he had such a smooth neck, soft skin everywhere which made her want to nibble. She gave into the need to taste him, wanting more.

Tenten pushed her body upwards so she could pull on his earlobe, knowing he loved it then felt his fingers dance over her nipples. She couldn't hold back her shiver or the hard bite she unintentionally gave to a spot under his ear when he rubbed his knee against her groin.

"Ow," Neji mumbled.

"Sorry, sorry, are you okay?"

Jeez, she hadn't meant to hurt him.

"Hn,"

This was his "yeah I'm fine, don't worry but watch it" sound. She kissed the bite mark and caught him smiling out of the corner of her eye. God she loved it when he smiled and showed him this by rubbing her knee against his groin and squeezing his perfect ass in her hands. He trembled against her and Tenten couldn't help but grin.

She scowled when his hands disappeared from under her bra.

"What are you doing? I was, oh," Tenten said.

He was unclasping her shirt. Well no way was she about to be topless in front of him while he remained clothed. Hell, her shirt was all ready off and that wouldn't do. Tenten wished she didn't shudder when his hands ran up her bare sides but she did lick her lips.

Tenten worked the button out of the hole over his right shoulder and he helped her take off his shirt. He gave her another smile when she tossed his shirt over her shoulder. She almost laughed when his lips drew into a thin line. His fingers had gone under her bra straps and when their eyes met, she knew he asked permission.

She had seen him topless plenty of times since Neji had no issue taking off his shirt on the hot days when they trained. She knew his chest was home to sculpted abs, well formed pectorals, dark brown nipples, and two scars. Oddly there were no scars from having breasts removed but she figured something so simple could be healed easily. No hair graced his chest though, except for a little trail from his belly button down to the tempting 'v' his hips made and beyond.

And sure, he had seen her in a sports bra with a sorry excuse for a shirt overtop and short shorts. He had never seen her bare breasts and as typical, asked permission before they went any further. She loved he made sure anything and everything was okay with her before moving forward in any aspect of their relationship.

She smiled and nodded once despite her embarrassment. Besides, this was Neji, her boyfriend and eventually he would see her naked. She didn't mind the thought, in fact, it made her really wet.

She almost lost it again when he gulped before lowering the straps of her bra. The white cotton fell into his hands but he let it drop. Tenten had the sudden urge to cover her chest when his eyes landed on her bare breasts. She held onto his hips instead as he studied her.

She wondered if he liked what he saw. Maybe she was too small for his liking. Maybe her nipples looked weird to him. Maybe he had decided he liked guys and breasts were too weird to see on a bare chest.

Her thoughts stopped when Neji's head swooped down and took her right nipple into his mouth. Holy shit!

Tenten gasped and clutched his hips in her hands with the sort of force she knew would leave a bruise tomorrow. At least no one would see it. Oh fuck! He was rolling his tongue over her nipple! She twined a hand in his hair for something to ground herself with as he nuzzled her breast.

Oh my god, that groan he gave! His hands had gone to her hips and were pushing her pants down. He wasn't getting far because of the super secret ties so she had mercy on him and undid them. It took some careful consideration to get her pants off without them tripping and falling and he had to stop sucking her nipple which was disappointing but they managed.

Nope. They didn't.

Tenten felt grass on her back and giggled when Neji caught his heavier body before he could squish her under his weight. He hummed at her before shifting to take her sandals off. Tenten grinned as she went to the man-skirt robe and tugged it off, tossing it to one side. His eyebrow came up as her hands attacked the knot at the front of his pants but it didn't look like he minded.

She wanted to see him, all the creamy white soft flesh exposed and had a feeling he knew it. His sandals disappeared somewhere but Tenten didn't care. They could hunt for their clothes later while everyone else worked and left them alone.

Tenten was momentarily distracted in her mission to rid Neji of his pants when one of his hands cupped her breast, a finger running over her nipple, and he went back to sucking on her other nipple. His other hand went under her panties at the hip and she bit her lip before tugging on the waist of his pants.

He shifted and she frowned when he had to stop sucking her nipple so his pants could join their discarded clothing. She wanted him against her so tugged him by his boxer shorts back into place. Neji's lips ended up on her nipple again and he chuckled.

Oh my fuck that felt good! She shoved him as hard as she could and grinned inwardly when he ended up on his back on the grass. She was going to see every part of him, NOW. Tenten shifted out of his grip before grabbing his boxer shorts in both hands and yanking them off his waist, past his knees, and off his legs in one motion. She tossed them away and stared.

Neji went completely stiff as her eyes took in his heaving, sweaty chest, the cute little happy trail and the mound of hair above his cock.

Wait.

His cock.

She felt her lips part and her eyes go wide. She felt the heat go from her cheeks all the way down her neck and to her nipples and wished she could stop gaping at him. She probably wasn't helping any kind of self confidence issue he might be having right now but she couldn't help it.

Neji had an honest to goodness dick. It was average in length, about six and a half inches but thick, all hard and dripping precum. It didn't matter what kind of surgery a female to male transgender person had, there was no faking a stiff, leaking cock.

She grabbed it, wondering if it was some kind of genjutsu and heard Neji gasp. His hips came up and she knew this wasn't a genjutsu.

"Hey, it's real!"

Tenten grinned. She met Neji's eyes and saw confusion there. Oh shit. She had said that out loud. No, she couldn't have proclaimed the realness of his dick in front of...

"What?"

Oh my god she had! She sat back and straddled his legs, covering her mouth with one hand as she held his very real and very sexy dick in one hand. Neji sat up part way, resting on his elbows and tilted his head to one side slightly.

He knew she was embarrassed and would know it came from not wanting to tell him what she meant. He was going to ask her any second now...

"Tenten, what do you mean it's real?"

Yep. She wanted the earth to open up and swallow her whole. She couldn't believe she had been wrong all this time about Neji being born in a female's body and wanting to be male. And here she had been tip-toeing around the entire issue like a dumbass. He kept staring at her.

She couldn't not tell him. He would keep staring until she caved and really there were other more interesting things they could be doing than having some kind of weird, naked, staring contest. Tenten put the hand at her mouth on his happy trail and Neji shivered. She groaned and let out a breath:

"You know I've had this crush on you since the Academy, right? Well, for the entire time I kind of thought you were a girl, you know? Like, you had been born in a female body but identified as male, okay? I kind of assumed when we did this for the first time I'd be greeted with a vagina instead of a penis and it's kind of um, surprising? Yeah, surprising. I'm not bad surprised since I like guys and girls, but um, yeah."

Neji kept staring. Oh god, he still didn't get it.

"I wanted to be sensitive to your issues, you know? I didn't want to just come out and ask the other guys what was going on down there when you went bathing with them and—"

"Tenten,"

Oh good, he was stopping her rant. This couldn't get any more embarrassing at least. She bit her lip.

"So you were under the assumption I am transgender?"

She nodded. He started laughing at her, full out amused laughing, so she whined and swatted his chest. It wasn't fair he got to be entertained by her thinking he was a girl. She was about to tell him this but he kissed her and she kind of forgot to be upset. She also kind of forgot she wanted to stay on top but didn't mind really when Neji pushed her onto her back in the grass.

She did catch his wince and flushed when she realized she had still been holding him when he moved which might've pulled him a bit hard. At least she knew it wouldn't come off. She almost started laughing but his hands were tugging her panties off. He smirked when he caught sight of them and she couldn't help but blush as he tossed her sensible panties over his shoulder.

She didn't have a problem in his decision to kiss her, definitely didn't mind when he shifted to lie against her in full. She did have to spread her legs but damn was it worth it. Their groins were touching and there was all this heat between them.

She did laugh when his hands went to her breasts. Typical boy. He hummed and left her mouth. She would have complained but he was kissing her jaw and the side of her throat. Oh fuck this felt good.

His lips were soft and he applied the perfect amount of pressure to her throat and jaw. She ran her fingers in his hair but was stopped by his hitai-ate. Tenten frowned before untying the barrier and tossing it aside. She didn't realize exactly what she had done until she felt Neji stiffen and stop kissing her. Shit.

Tenten of all people should know how much Neji hated his curse seal. Sure he would walk around in the bathhouse without his hitai-ate on but it made him uncomfortable. Tenten had to let him know she didn't mind and he didn't have to be embarrassed to be so exposed in front of her.

She tilted his head up and kissed his forehead. Neji relaxed and Tenten let out a little breath. He started kissing her neck again, across her collarbones but he didn't stick with just kisses. Oh no. He licked and bit her flesh as well as giving her innocent pecks. Son of a bitch!

She ran her fingers over his scalp, knowing how much he loved having his hair played with and felt how hard his cock was against her body. It left a wet spot on her flesh but she didn't mind. Hell, she would soak the grass under them pretty damn soon.

She almost laughed again when Neji kept his head between her breasts but damn it he was sucking and nibbling at the skin of her breasts and the valley between them. She started bucking her hips against him and he pushed back, matching her pace. Damn he was good and Tenten tried not to think of how many other women he had been with before they got together.

He was moving down, biting and licking as he did and she could only watch in wonder. No way he was about to go down on her. Guys just didn't do that, well, according to Ino anyway. They had to be asked to go down and rewarded with blow jobs or hand jobs. Tenten tightened her grip in his hair. She had to make sure he was really about to do this willingly.

Tenten flushed when he shifted his face up to stare at her. Holy crap he was so handsome.

His skin was perfectly smooth and pale like marble but not cold looking, especially not in this moment. His normally perfect hair was mused, the bangs hanging around those wonderfully high cheek bones in messy chunks. His lips were pinker than normal and swollen, damp, and she wanted so bad to tug him back up to kiss him. God damn those eyes, so pretty like little moons and heated because of their actions.

Right.

She had to ask him if he was about to go down on her without her having to ask. She wanted to keep staring at him all day. Man, she needed to bring a camera next time. No one could argue about Neji having no emotion when he looked like this. His chest heaved, his lips were parted, and oh fuck he looked like he wanted to pound her senseless in a good way.

Right. She had a question for him.

"Where are you going?"

Neji raised one of those perfect, elegant eyebrows at her as if it was obvious. The ghost of a smirk played on his lips and she wanted to smack him for it but he spoke:

"Down,"

Oh my god! He was about to go down on her without her needing to ask. She felt her cheeks get hotter but let go of his scalp. Neji hummed at her before lowering his head and continuing down her waist. She shouted when he dipped his tongue into her belly button. Crap, she'd really pushed hard against his hips. Ah man, it was hard not clenching her fists in his hair so he couldn't move.

Tenten groaned. She knew Neji rarely got distracted but he seemed to be sidetracked by her belly button. He kept nibbling at it, licking, sucking, kissing it as if it was her mouth and all she could do was wrap her legs around his waist, rotate her hips up, and hope to fuck she didn't leave a bruise on his back with how hard she dug her heels into his back.

She looked down when she felt his hands on her hips and he smiled at her. He kissed her belly button one last time and kept moving down. Fuck, fuck, fuck, he was so not about to eat her out. No way. Oh wow, the way he stared up at her when he kissed her mound. Oh god, he was kissing her pubic hair.

Oh shit, he lifted his head away from her pubes and opened her legs then looked up, right at her. She wanted to shut her legs and run away. She wanted to pull him back up by the hair to tell him he didn't have to do...

He licked his lips.

Fuck.

She couldn't help but smile. She would smack him later for chuckling at her in that prideful way of his but he looked at her lower lips. Tenten whined to let him know she was embarrassed but he didn't seem to care.

He kept staring for several moments and Tenten wondered if this was payback for gaping at his dick earlier. She jolted when Neji touched her mound, lightly running a finger along her pubic hair. Ah crap! She'd dug her heels into his back again but it didn't seem like he cared too much. Good. At least she wouldn't feel bad about the bruise she'd leave him with.

Tenten wanted to smack him when he chuckled again but he took a deep breath and leaned forward. Tenten inhaled too hard and choked on her spit. She didn't feel him anymore and spotted he had glanced up to see what was wrong. Oh that was so not right.

She pushed his head back down but caught the pleased smirk on his face. Before she could think of chiding him, he kissed her lower lips. Shit!

She pulled his hair, likely too hard but he didn't complain. Oh my god, he was pushing his tongue into her. Oh the little bastard was laughing happily at his success in making her come undone like this. Shit! He was sucking on her clit!

He was also looking right at her but she couldn't concentrate on that. She pulled his hair again and felt his cock twitch against her leg. Oh, so he liked having his hair pulled. She would remember that.

She groaned when he moved away from her clit to lick her folds but oh fuck he was rubbing her clit with his nose. She kept pushing her hips towards him and felt him holding her down by the hips. Hell, she was going to have bruises tomorrow. She pushed his head down as he kept sucking and licking. Oh crap, good thing they weren't somewhere in Konoha right now.

She kept moaning and groaning, loudly as if she was some kind of whore but had a feeling Neji didn't mind. No, he would be enjoying this, the arrogant pretend jerk. She tugged his hair again and felt his cock twitch. Tenten grinned at the reaction and jerked on the soft, so wonderfully soft strands in her hands.

Shit, shit, shit, she's so damned close! She could feel the beads of sweat trailing down her forehead and cheeks, the grass sticking to her back, and the heat in her groin. She would bite her damned lip off in a minute. Her entire body was clenching hard, every muscle tense as she's almost there. Sweat kept pouring out between her breasts and she could feel how tense her nipples were in the cool air around them.

Tenten didn't care how hard she's digging her heels into his spine, knowing he can take it. She didn't care how hard she's pulling his hair though she would regret it if she pulled out even one strand of his glorious brown locks. Something snapped and she sputtered out his name.

Oh shit, he's still licking at her as she shivers and rides out her orgasm. She feels his hands have moved to her upper thighs now and is glad he's strong enough to keep her from suffocating him with her legs. Tenten can't control the trusts of her hips but does drape her right arm over her eyes so maybe, maybe she can gain some semblance of order in her mind.

Tenten came down from her high and lay there panting, knowing her Neji would be damned proud of himself for making her release like that. Oh. She was still massaging his scalp with her left hand. At least her legs had gone all boneless so she wouldn't crush his head.

"I can't believe you did that," Tenten got out.

"Why?"

He had to ask? Tenten lowered her arm and lifted his chin so she could look into his eyes. His eyebrow came up as she studied his face and she desperately wanted to take a picture. Neji's lips were all puffed up in a sexy way, pink, and soaked with her juices. His cheeks were flush and oh my god there was a wet spot on his nose from where he had been rubbing her clit. There was another one on his chin.

Neji licked his lips and she grinned at him. Oh yeah, he looked hot all flushed like this, covered in her juices with his hair falling around him in tangles. She would get to brush out his hair too. That would be awesome. Oh yeah. She should probably answer his question.

"Normally guys don't want to bother with that, so I've heard from reliable sources,"

Neji snorted and the arrogant look came over his face. She had started to love this look on him. He was too damned sexy.

"Since when am I like other guys?"

Tenten couldn't help but giggle. He had a damn good point. Neji wasn't like other guys and she adored this about him. She ran her thumb over his nose and he blinked, confused. She almost laughed at him but he smirked. Damn him and making her blush. She was going to kiss that smirk off his face.

She tugged on his hair and he hummed at her, seeming content to lounge between her legs. She didn't mind, not really, but damn it she wanted to kiss him. She also wanted him to get some kind of relief. If his cock could talk it would be begging to be inside her and she had no issue in letting that happen.

"Up," Tenten said.

He chuckled, arrogant pretend jerk, but shifted upwards until he lay flush against her. Their lips met and wow was this ever hot. She broke the kiss to better wrap her legs around his waist and shift against his groin to let him know her intentions. Neji shut his eyes, groaning in a sexy way and she grinned.

"In," Tenten said.

He stiffed and his eyes went wide. He gulped. Tenten wanted to coo at him but knew he would not appreciate it right now. Wow, he looked terrified at the prospect of getting inside her. Maybe he hadn't been with another woman.

Nah.

This was Hyuuga Fucking Neji, sexiest guy in Konoha, and one of the first guys in the Village to be used for his looks on a mission. He had to have experience, more than her, in this area.

"Neji,"

He shivered when she whispered his name in his ear and their eyes met. She tilted her head to a side and stared. Why would he be so nervous? The way he'd eaten her out told her he had been with someone at some point. Oh my god, he was blushing!

"I, um, I have never been, well, in," Neji said.

Tenten felt her eyebrows go up and wished she didn't smile. He was a virgin. Oh wow. She hadn't expected Neji to be a virgin like her. Tenten put a hand to the back of his head to kiss him. She was glad when he relaxed into the kiss. Now he was distracted.

She ran his hand lightly over his side and wrapped it around his cock. He jolted in shock and gasped. Ha, she'd never seen him so surprised.

"It's okay. No one's been in me before but I want you there,"

His eyes stayed wider than normal, even for him, but he did nod. She guided him towards her slick opening and he didn't complain. She did have to move her hand so he could push forward.

Holy hell that hurt!

Tenten dug her nails into his scalp and thankfully Neji stopped moving forward. She tried not to wince especially when his eyes opened and met hers but she couldn't help it. He gulped again. Ah man, he was maybe a third of the way in and it damned well hurt. Wait, he was pulling out!

No way in Hell was she going to abort this after that kind of pain. She tightened her legs around him to keep him in place. Her first time was supposed to hurt. Plus he was thick. Tenten let out a breath and opened her eyes to see how concerned he was. Huh. She didn't remember closing her eyes.

"It's okay," Tenten told him.

"But I'm hurting you," Neji said.

A contraction. Neji rarely used contractions and when he did he was being human. Tenten wanted to snuggle against him and giggle but he would get confused. Instead, she gave him a little smile.

"It's a good kind of pain," she lied.

She watched as he frowned. Tenten pushed her heels into his body to get him to keep moving. She moaned when Neji kissed her deeply and his hands went back to her breasts. Oh my god he had great hands! Tenten couldn't keep her eyes open as she thrust up into him and felt him sink in a little deeper. It didn't hurt so much, not while he played with her breasts.

She ran a hand through his hair, over and over to give him some kind of pleasure and before she knew it he was in to the hilt. Wow. She had never felt this full. It was a good kind of feeling. Too bad the snap of her hymen had damned well hurt.

Neji pulled back and she took a deep breath as he rubbed her nipples between his fingers. She had grabbed his ass at some point and kept her other hand in his hair. She opened her eyes to meet his and smiled.

"Are you all right?" Neji asked.

Aw, he was so sweet in worrying over her.

"That last inch or two really hurt but it's okay. You broke my hymen," Tenten said.

Neji blushed. Oh wow did he ever look adorable when he blushed. She couldn't help giggling at him. Even so, he should be moving right now. Jeez, neither of them would get relief with him just sitting in her. She smacked his ass and he yelped in an undignified way. Oh yeah, she definitely liked it when he was all frazzled and naked.

"Move," Tenten told him.

He nodded and shifted his hips. She shouted, noticing he had gasped. Holy fuck!

Tenten hardly noticed Neji wrap his arms around her but she did notice him thrusting hard and fast into her. Again she was really glad they weren't in a room somewhere because she would be the sole reason they would be getting noise complaints.

Oh wait. No she wouldn't.

Neji was growling and grunting with every thrust of his hips. Holy crap that was hot. She kissed him hard and he moaned into her throat.

He filled her with heat in a way she had never felt before. All she could do was let him shove her hard into the grass and rake her nails along his ass cheek, pulling firmly on his hair as curses, his name, and wordless shouts fell from her lips with every motion of his hips.

She heard him gasp, probably almost choking and he screamed. Oh my god she had no idea he could be so loud. His shout, along with the few extra thrusts, the trembling of his body made her cry out his name and shiver along with him.

Tenten held onto him as he started falling and shifted. They ended up alongside each other as she had refused to let go of his perfect ass and his gorgeous hair. Tenten managed to get her eyes half open to see Neji had closed his and was panting hard.

She stared into his eyes when he half opened them, breathing into his face but he didn't care. Wow he looked good, cheeks all flush, lips damp and parted to he could (vainly) try to catch his breath, eyes bright with pleasure, and body shivering. She shifted so their noses could touch and caught his lips curling into a smile.

"Wow," Tenten said.

Neji chuckled but he kissed the tip of her nose so he wasn't being too much of a prideful little bugger. She grinned at him and he kept smiling. She loved it when he smiled like this. It made him look so sexy but she would never make him smile in public. Oh no. Neji's smiles were all for her, especially these "we just had mind-blowing sex" smiles.

She didn't drop her gaze from his but did unclench her hand from his ass. Oh wow. She had really raked her nails on his ass.

"I think I scratched up your butt," Tenten said.

He snickered at her but again kissed her nose so she wouldn't smack him. Jeez he knew her too well.

"It's fine," Neji said.

Another contraction. Damn, she was on a roll.

"No it's not. I like your butt," Tenten said.

She was so not pouting. Neji laughed at her. Yeah, okay, maybe she was pouting.

"I remember you saying you always look at a person's butt first," Neji said.

Oh my god! She couldn't believe he remembered that! Of course, this was Hyuuga Neji. She swatted him but he kept laughing so she pushed him onto his back and straddled him with a grin. He gasped and groaned when she shifted so he could be inside her again.

There was no pain this time and she moaned as she settled onto his lap. Her hands ended up on his chest so she didn't collapse into him right away and she noticed she was touching the edges of his scar. Their eyes met and she knew how to get him back for that last comment.

She took off her hitai-ate with one hand and tossed it aside. She shifted on his lap, trying not to show how good it had felt before reaching up with both hands to take down her right bun. She kept her grin back as he stared, lips parted, panting, and his eyes completely focused on the way her hair fell down her back and around her arms until it tickled against her hips. She still managed to keep from smiling as she took down her other bun.

Neji was completely entranced with her hair as she knew he would've been. The smile on his face made her body throb around him and she almost lost it right there when he reached up to run his fingers through her hair.

"You like?" Tenten asked.

"Pretty," Neji muttered.

She couldn't stop from grinning. She did lower her head so Neji could better run his fingers through her hair because damn he had good hands. She laughed at him, knowing how he felt when he ate her out, and kissed him. Neji shifted his hips upwards and she purred into his mouth before shifting her hips in a way she had a feeling would drive him crazy.

"Fuck!"

Tenten almost stopped right there when the f-bomb dropped from Neji's lips.

"I've never heard you swear before," Tenten told him.

It had been all kinds of hot too and the look of confusion on his face was totally worth it. He pulled her down to kiss but she didn't mind one bit. She moved her hips against his, rotating, shifting, thrusting, and he gasped. Tenten grinned as she leaned into him, making sure her breath skirted over his cheek as she ran her hands up and down his chest.

She wondered if his nipples were as sensitive as hers and pinched them. She was rewarded by him arching upwards and groaning. Oh that felt nice. Tenten grinned as she bit his earlobe. His hands were on her hips but clutching hard to keep him grounded. Oh man, knowing she made him lose control like this...

"Shit!"

Tenten gasped as Neji swore a second time. She dug her nails into his chest as she rode the wave of pleasure soaking her. She didn't even notice she had fallen on top of him until her breasts squashed firmly against his chest. She was breathing into his right ear and her hands were trembling on his shoulders. He had wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her in place on his lap.

"Wow," Neji said.

Well, yeah, he had sworn twice. She chuckled at him and was rewarded with a kiss. She nibbled on his lower lip, teasing, and he hummed before rolling on top of her so swiftly she let out a gasp. He didn't move his hips but Tenten had a feeling he would be spent for a few minutes at least.

Still. The kissing felt awesome and man did she love running her hands through his hair. She really liked going right to the ends so she could rub his butt. He had such a touch worthy bum. He kept playing with her breasts and she squirmed under him then playfully pinched his nipples. Neji smiled and Tenten kissed him again.

Okay, so she had totally done the whole cliché sex thing to take his mind off his sad thoughts. She didn't care. She had gotten to hear him swear, seen him smile, watch him lose control in a good way, and been with him on the most intimate level.

It was totally worth it.

Notes: So the "Come my children" line Guy says in "hug" was inspired by this comic I found in my travels. Basically Guy says "Come flock to me my children" and holds out his arms for a hug. Lee and Tenten go hug him while Neji's all like "I am not your child" and Guy starts crying. *cough*

SO, based on comments I get I may continue this series so long as the 'first' for anyone mentions can be done for all four members of Team Guy.

Which means things like pregnancy, kid, marriage, and break-up won't work. I'm sticking (mostly) to canon on this which means yes, Neji dies in the war as based on the "Twenty Truths of Team Guy" fiction I wrote. Therefore Neji wouldn't go through pregnancy, marriage, kid or break-up in the examples I used. I might do "fight" for all four of them though. We'll see as I'm working on a longer piece of fiction for Neji X Tenten right now.

Regardless, I'll leave this as incomplete for, well, however long I feel.

Anyway, reviews welcome.
