ACGOMN: yep Neji and Tenten are next on my list.

Neji and Tenten: Sadist.

ACGOMN: I did nothing to you. (Neji and Tenten glare at ACGOMN).

I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, but I do own the plot and the OCs.

One Shot 8

Fight

Tenten sighed as she threw another weapon at her sparring partner, Hyuuga Neji who easily deflected it with his moves. Tenten sat down, breathing heavily.

"It seems I win again," said Neji.

"Ah," said Tenten, regaining her breathe quickly. "Again?"

"No I have to go have a family dinner with the Main branch," sighed Neji. "Tomorrow though?"

"Hmm, okay," said Tenten, doing hand seals to clean up all her weapons. Neji and Tenten walked out of the forest together. As they were going to go different ways, Neji noted that some boys were staring at Tenten as she left. Maybe he could be just late once.

"Tenten, I'll walk you home," said Neji, catching up to her. Tenten looked at him and shrugged. Later, Neji was at the family dinner thing and Hiashi had asked why he was late.

"Neji, you are usually never late. So I hope you have a good excuse," said Hiashi, to his nephew.

"I had walked my teammate Tenten home," said Neji.

"I see," said Hiashi. Nothing was said any further. A few weeks have passed since then and Neji began noticing some interesting things about Tenten. First off, boys liked to look at her. That bothered him. But Tenten had ignored all the boys stares, which made Neji relieved somewhat. Of course, Neji had been staring at his teammate a lot lately, that made Tenten uncomfortable.

Tenten noted that he always walked her home, even if he was going to be late for something. Maybe he liked her or something. No, that couldn't be. Neji doesn't like girls (or boys for that matter). Finally after the uncomfortable staring of her teammate, she inquired about his weird behavior.

"Neji you have been staring at me quite frequently lately," commented Tenten. "And I want to know why?" They were on their way to Tenten's house. Neji had insisted on walking her home.

"Have I," asked Neji.

"Yes, and it worries me for you never done that before," said Tenten. Neji sighed, maybe he shouldn't have be watching her so intently. Neji wondered why he was like this.

"Sorry, I won't do it anymore," said Neji, leaving. "Good night."

"Oh okay. Night Neji," said Tenten. Neji was sure acting weird, thought Tenten as she entered her house. She shook her head, she would never understand the enigma known as Hyuuga Neji.

Back at the Hyuuga household, Hiashi has been notified of his nephew's weird behavior of being late for things recently. Hiashi was worried. Neji had always said that he escorts his teammate Tenten home. However, Hiashi knows that Tenten is no pushover. In fact, she has even barged into Neji's room, very early in morning. He had promised that they would spar that day at that time, but Neji was never a morning person. That had resulted in Neji getting various weapons thrown at him. It was quite amusing. But Hiashi had a clue on his nephews behavior.

"Neji, are you feeling alright," asked Hiashi to Neji.

"I'm fine," said Neji, "Hiashi-sama."

"You have been walking your teammate Tenten home a lot lately," said Hiashi.

"Yes and?"

"Do you like this girl?"

"Tenten is a very good friend and a nice person," said Neji, wondering why his uncle has been asking him these things.

"No I mean are you in love with her," asked Hiashi.

"Uh..."

"Just as I thought," said Hiashi, taking his leave.

"What the hell," said Neji, out loud. Why did people constantly think that he was in love with Tenten and vice versa?

Because you are you dumb ass, said his internal voice.

Not you again.

I am you shit head.

You are the crazy part of me. And I'm not in love with Tenten.

Sure you are not and I'm the lady of Fire Country.

You really need to shut up.

Neji and Tenten sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G...

Oh shut up you.

Fine but I'm telling you that you are in love with her and she's in love with you.

Hn.

Neji shook his head. He really needs to stop those internal battles. Maybe he was in love with Tenten, but he was not the romantic type.Then again, Tenten didn't like all that mushy stuff anyway. Neji's genius mind got an idea.

The following day, Neji and Tenten were taking break from sparring. Neji was winning, naturally.

"Tenten you asked me yesterday why I was staring at you. I have your answer."

"I'm listening."

"I'm in love with you."

"Heh, I sort of guessed that," said Tenten, "I love you too. So, ready for round two?"

"Yeah."

ACGOMN: SORRY IT'S SO LATE. I was sick.
