Chapter 3

As Neji looked out the window at the eerie storm, he saw Kiba slowly approaching his house. He knew what he had come for, answers. But, Neji wasn't planning on giving him any. He'll find out tomorrow, if he decides to take my advice, Neji thought.

He turned to his wife, who was sitting on the carpeted floor, reading a scroll on weapons. "Tenten, Kiba's going to be here any minute, and I think it would be best if you went into our bedroom."

Tenten looked up at him, let out a sigh and headed towards their bedroom.

"Wait," Neji said. He went to her, and give her a quick kiss. Even after two years of kissing her, it still sent shivers throughout his body. " Thanks for being so understanding."

"No problem," Tenten murmured against Neji's chest. "I love you."

"I love you too," Neji replied.

At that moment, Kiba burst through the door. He looked terrible. Even after sleeping for two days, he still had bags under his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and he was dripping wet and shivering from the cold. He walked towards Neji with deliberate steps, and stopped right in front of him. He grabbed Neji by his shirt and pushed him against the wall. Tenten, who was still in the room, was about to attack Kiba, but Neji stopped her. "Tenten, can you please wait for me in our room?

Tenten looked uncertainly at Neji, but ended up doing as he asked.

"Why did you talk about her as if she was still alive?" Kiba demanded. He still had an iron grip on Neji's shirt.

Neji replied calmly, "Let go of me Kiba, and then I will answer you.

Kiba glared at Neji, and finally let him go. "Now answer me."

"It's her birthday tomorrow," Neji started. "I suggest you visit her grave."

"You didn't answer my question," snarled Kiba.

"You're question will be answered tomorrow, if you decide to take my advice.

"You didn't answer my question," Kiba repeated, looking as if he wanted to rip Neji's throat out. But if I do that, he won't be able to answer me, Kiba thought.

"I don't plan on answering you. Now get out of my house," Neji said.

Looking at Neji's cold eyes, Kiba decided he didn't stand a chance against him. Or at least, not in the state he was in now. Instead of attacking him, as he planned on doing if Neji didn't answer him, he turned around and headed back into the eerie storm.

Neji stared after him, lost in thought. "Is he gone now?" Tenten asked, disturbing Neji's thought process. She was poking her head around the door frame.

"Yeah, he's gone," Neji replied.

"Good. Now come to bed."

When Neji just stared at her, she went over to him and took his hand. She gently pulled him toward their room. Once she had Neji sitting on the bed, she spoke. "Are you worried that he won't go to her grave tomorrow."

Neji sighed, "Yes. Because if he doesn't, she will be devastated."

"You shouldn't worry. He will go. He definately wants to find out why you spoke of her as if she was still alive," Tenten reassured him.

"Thanks Tenten. You are always able to make me feel better." He pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. Her soft lips tasted like strawberries, and her supple body felt good against him. "I love you." Their kisses became more wild and passionate as Neji tore off Tenten's clothes. He always loved this moment. Right before he penetrated her, he would look down on her beautiful body, and feel so full of love that it felt as if his heart would burst from his chest. It took all thoughts of Kiba from his mind. His only thoughts were of her and how much he wanted her. If I ever lose her, I don't think I'll be able to keep living, he thought. And with that thought in mind, they made love.
