Neji stood at the main gate with naruto. They were waiting for Tenten and Hinata.

"Are you sure hinata will be okay with this?" Naruto asked for the fourth time that morning.

"Naruto hinata will be happy to have you as her guard" Neji said absentmindedly. He was thinking of how Tenten will look when she was given a make over by his cousin. He couldn't imagine her looking girly. He straightened up as he saw the carriage in which tenten was being carried. Since she was going to be like a civilian, Tsunade suggested that she travelled like one and using a carriage meant a three day journey to the land of grass although it could have been a day journey on ninja basis.

The carriage stopped right in front of them and hinata alighted from it. She was dressed in her usual ninja attire but her hair was tied in a ponytail with some strands of hair loosened. She stared at both of them with a confused expression.

"Hinata I have decided to appoint naruto as your guard while you are alone" neji said plainly.

"If it's not a bother." Naruto added quickly. Hinata's face went red at the thought of staying alone in her house with Naruto.

"Um...N..Naa..Naruto-kun..I'll be glad if y..you guard me while neji-niisan is away" hinata stuttered, making neji raise an eyebrow he wondered if this was the same cousin that teased him every day of his life.

"Hinata where is tenten?" Neji asked making hinata to lift her gaze from the ground which she had suddenly found interesting after realizing Naruto as her guard.

"Oh Neji-niisan, Tenten-chan is..." Hinata started but was cut off by another female voice

"I am right here in the carriage" tenten said getting down from the carriage.

Because it was Neji it took him about thirty seconds to realize that it was actually his team mate standing before him. If he hadn't known better he would have said she was the daughter of a damiyo. She was wearing a knee length kimono and heeled sandals similar to the ones tsunade uses. Curves Neji had never known existed in his team mate, was highlighted by the fitted pink kimono with flower prints. She had just the shape to rival Kurenai's. Her hair was pulled up in a single bun with designer chopsticks and hair pins used to hold it up. Her face was made up with light powder and she had lip gloss on her lips, making neji notice that they weren't even necessary for her untamed beauty'When did tenten become so beautiful?' he asked himself but immediately banished the thought from his mind, as it was unlike him to have such thoughts about any female.

"How long are we going to stand here staring Neji-niisan" Hinata asked. Neji did not miss the teasing hint in her voice. He just shrugged it off and averted his gaze from Tenten.

"Let's head out." He said, surprised by the soft tone of his voice.

"Neji I'm the captain here so I give the others here" tenten said grudgingly she was still a bit angry with him but she got into the carriage anyway and signaled for the coachman to star moving.

"Naruto I'm entrusting my cousin into your hands please take care of hr while I'm away. And if you do anything stupid I'll have your head" Neji said to naruto who also seemed dazed by Tenten's radiance. He snapped out of it at neji's words

"Sure thing man" he said "I'll guard her with my life" Neji nodded and turned to his cousin who had turned a bright shade of red at naruto's words.

"Hinata..." he started, but he was cut off as she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

"Be careful nii-san and take care of tenten-chan" then she added in a whisper "Don't scream her name in your sleep. Just whisper it" hinata quickly let go of her cousin and ran towards the carriage before he could say anything. She said her goodbyes to tenten, whispered some things to her and wished her luck on her mission.

OoOo
