Also! When I say "Later" in the story, it doesn't necessarily mean an hour later or whatever, it can mean any amount of time. Like from a minute later, to half a day later.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 9
Sakuras POV
I opened my eyes & to my surprise he was still sleeping…I smiled softly at his appearances.
Sasuke looked so peaceful when he's asleep. Kinda made me feel bad in waking him up…but whatever, I was hungry, so I shook him a little.
"Sasu-kun…" And then he opened an eye.
"Hn?.." I pecked him on the lips.
"Make me breakfast…please?"
He groaned so loudly…forget what I said before about him being peaceful…
"But whyyy-yy…"
I glared at him.
"Okay, okay…"
We both walked over to the kitchen & I sat down on the counter while I watched Sasuke make breakfast.
"Hey, have you seen Tenten? She didn't come home last night."
"I don't think so. I think she stayed over at that Temari-chick's house. Don't worry, she's fine." Sasuke flipped a pancake he was making.
"I guess…Im taking your word for it! If she comes home just a little hurt, Im blaming it on you…"
"If you're so concerned then just call her."
"Don't you remember that Lee 'accidently' broke our phones?" I sighed.
"Oh yeah…bastard. Well lets just pray she comes home fine. (Don't want to get my ass beat)"
"What was that that you said?"
"Uh…nothing." Thought so.

Tentens POV
What the hell am I even doing here?...
Oh yeah.
Being a friend.
I wiped my tears and quit looking at the ceiling. I have to be strong.
I turned over in Temaris bed to face her, she was asleep. I closed the gap between us and hugged her from the back, which woke her up.
"Oh…Tenten." She said in a tired voice, she gave me a smile.
"Sleep well?.." Its funny how her & Neji share separate beds…and rooms.
"Yeah…since I had my best friend next to me." She hugged me back.
"Well…we have lots to do today. We have to pick out your dress, order your wedding cake…" I kept on going for a couple minutes or so before Temari interrupted me.
"So…Tenten, youre not mad at me anymore?..." I thought hard before I responded.
"Of course not. We already talked about this." Yeah, we definitely did.
Flashback
I looked at Temari and waited for her to answer. My heart was racing a mile a minute. All I wanted to do was hurt her.
"You're kidding right?" She scoffed and looked back at me.
"Why would I lie?" She stared and stared.
"…But I don't…understand…how would you have met him anyways?.."
"I met Neji in grade school when we were just 10 years old. At first I hated him and he hated me…but one day when I was attacked by a group of bullies after school, Neji stepped in and beat them all up. I asked him why he did it and he told me that he actually had a crush on me…I thought he was sweet so I let him be my friend, but I told him that if he tried anything weird, I'd chop off his hair.-" I chuckled a bit "Then, after a few years of being his best friend…we decided to start dating. It was nice at first, but after a while, his stepfather Hiashi stepped in. He told Neji that if he didn't break up with me, then he'd take care of it himself. Neji told him to never mess with me and we just continued dating….After a year or so, Hiashi had done so many things to get us to break up. He almost closed down my parents business (only reason he didn't do it was because I got down on my knees and begged him not to), had made it almost impossible for me and Neji to see each other…he'd make Nejis chauffeur pick him up extra early from school and made sure the maids, butlers, and bodyguards never let him out of the house and tried to convince the school board to make sure me & him didn't have any classes together (at least there he didn't get his way)…But the worst thing Hiashi's ever done to me & Neji was when he hired an actor to befriend me (after a fight Neji and I had) and then later kidnap me…him and his friends where going to hurt me pretty bad…but luckily Neji got there just on time to save me. He fought for a long time…actually he took down about six guys before getting hit in the head...he bled so much…and at first I was sure we where both going to die, but Naruto and Sasuke came out of nowhere and helped Neji fight those people…I don't know what would have happened if they wouldn't have gotten there.-" I wiped a few tears that where making their way down my face. "-But Im thankful…after that, me and Neji promised never to let each other go…that we'd die for each other. And that no matter what happened, I'd never leave his side & he'd never leave mine. But shortly after that promise, Hiashi forced him to go on a 'buisness' trip to China. Where he met you."
Temari looked down at her feet. And after a while she said, "Go on."
I looked up at her.
"There must be more to the story if you still love him."
And there definitely was. So I kept on going.
"When he came back…he ignored me for a whole year. It was the most depressing time of my life. I was so confused, I didn't know what could've happened to him…when I found out he had a fiancé. At first I thought that our relationship was forever over, but then at Narutos party he came up to me and we made up again."
We where both quite for a while.
"Im sorry Tenten…I didn't know it was you who Neji loved."
I looked at her.
"I knew he was still in love with someone else…but I never thought it was my best friend…Im sorry Tenten…"
"Why are you sorry Temari?...You didn't know. You don't have fault here."
"But I do."
I froze "What do you mean?"
"I do…because I love him too. I don't know how it happened, but it did. AND IM SORRY TENTEN!..-" By now Temari was crying...a lot. "-Im not going to let your love for him get in the way of my love for him….and as much as you'll probably hate it, Im still going through with the wedding! Please don't hate me…youre my one true friend, I don't want to loose you too."
I looked her dead in the eye…I don't know what Im feeling right now…
I loathe her.
I pity her.
I love her.
She's my friend. She's saved my life. She's honest with me. Why should I continue something that's probably going to end in a disaster?...
I breathed in & out.
"…Temari…I don't hate you. You're my friend…and if you love Neji. Then theres nothing I could do about it. Nothing at all. And either ways, if I continue my relationship with him, I'll probably end up dead in less than a year, thanks to Hiashi…just…go…be with him….Im not going to hold you back…At least now I know Nejis not going to end up with someone terrible." I gave her a small smile, trying to hold back the millions of tears that where about to pour out of my eyes.
"…Thank you Tenten. Im lucky to have you as my friend."
Yeah, friend.
End of Flashback
"How bout we go out for ice cream and then we go dress shopping?" I tried getting all these other thoughts out of my head…
"Sounds great!" Temari kissed my cheek and then jumped out of bed.
Later
Hinatas POV
"Soooo, you're leaving with Temari & Tenten-chan?"
"Yes Naruto…we can see each other tomorrow if you want, Im not busy then." I handed him his shrit from the floor and put on a pair of slippers.
"At least make me breakfast?..."
"Fine-" I gave him a small smile "-but you have to put on your clothes, its very disrespectful to walk around someone's house without clothes."
"Okayy okay.." He stuck his tongue out at me, I giggled.
I left the room and headed down to the kitchen, where Tenten and Temari where already having breakfast.
"Ready Hina-chan?" Tenten gave me a toothy smile.
"Not quite…Im just waiting for Naruto, so he could leave."
"Oooooh girl! Get soooomee!" I could feel myself blushing at Tentens
"Don't blush silly!" Now it was Temari who said that.
"I-I'm n-not…" And they both broke out in laughter.
"Hooold up guys, I gotta use the bathroom, I'll be right back." Tenten stood up and left, which left me and Temari.
Later
Tentens POV
Where the hell is the bathroom in this place?...Whatever, I'll just go to the one upstairs…
I started walking up the stairs…and then along a giant hallway. This place is too big for me.
Then I started singing, cause you know…I was bored or whatever. "Ponpon dashite shimaeba ii no, Zenzen shinai no tsumaranai desho-"
"You know that songs annoying right?" I looked up. Fuck. Butterflies in my tummy again.
"Neji!" I smiled, but then remembered yesterday…and there goes my smile.
"Whats wrong?...Are you sad because I told you that your song is annoying?" He gave me a small smile and hugged me by the waist.
"No…its something else." I couldn't look at him.
"…Then could you at least tell me how it is you got into my house?..."
I sighed. "You're really asking for it, aren't you?" A tear rolled down my cheek, but I tried to keep on the smile.
He gave me a concerned look "Okay Tenten. Tell me whats wrong." He grabbed me by my wrist and took me to his room.
He closed the door and sat me down on his bed. He held my hand and kneeled in front of me "Now speak."
And I did. I told him. Everything.
I closed my eyes and waited for his response.
"…So you know Temari. And you guys are friends" his voice was serious.
"Yes…she considers me a best friend."
"…You're going to be at my wedding…" He took a seat next to me. "I have to fix this Tenten."
"You don't have to do anything Neji. Its done. We can't do anything else about it. But move on." He looked at me and then looked forward.
"…Please don't leave me Tenten."
I looked at him and squeezed his hand a bit.. "I wont…I promise." I felt bad for lying.
He looked back at me…right in my eyes and then leaned in to kissed my neck, then my lips, and next thing I now, one thing escalated to another. Now we're here lying in his bed without a single thing on.
"I've missed you…"
"I've missed you too." I scooched a little closer to him and laid my head on his chest.
He hugged me tight and I just shut my eyes.
Then I remembered. "Neji, I have to get going!"
"Wait…why?" He gave me a sad face and I chuckled a bit at it.
"Girls are waiting for me…you know how it is."
"Alright. But promise you'll come meet me later."
"Maybe. I'll see. I have to get home ya know."
"Alright." He kissed my forehead and I quickly threw on my clothes and headed down stairs.
Later
Karins POV
"Listen. I need you to help me out. Are you in or out?" I checked my phone for any new messages from Lord Hiashi.
"And why should I help you? Whats in it for me?"
I looked up to look up at the silver haired idiot sitting in front of me. Ugh how could that girl have gone out with such a loser?...
"You'll get back her, guaranteed."
"Hn…I'll think about it…maybe I don't want that dumb bitch back anyways."
"Theres no thinking about it. Its either yes or no ." I gave that bastard a 'smile'. Hn calling such a beautiful girl a dumb bitch..who does he think he is?
"Very well then. I'll go for it…why not? It'll be fun...help pass the time ya know."
"I see. You'll receive your cash once the job is done."
"That's great…now, sweetie, how bout you and me spe-"
"-Im sorry, but Im not interested in misogynist men like you, or maybe just men in general." I stood up and walked out of the café.
Hn. Asshole.
End of Chapter 9!
Okay so I looked up Hidan and turns out he's 22 not 27 like I thought...Oh well, still pretty old for Tenten.
Anyways! Review Review Review!
I might write the next chapter later this week.
