I actually got a positive review for chapter one._. Woo. So here's part 2!

Ten-ten stood speechless. She honestly wanted to cry. Not because she was sad or afraid, but because the amount of emotions she was feeling was too much to handle. Finally, she broke down and fell into Temari's warm, inviting arms. As a single tear fell down Ten-ten's cheek, Temari decided to speak up.

''Please, don't cry. Because if you cry, I'll start crying and I don't cry because I'm too mature for crying, so please don't cry''

Ten-ten started laughing again and nestled closer to Temari

''I honestly can't comprehend what's happening right now.''

''What do you mean?''

''Honestly Temari, you could have anyone you wanted. You're beautiful, you're a genius, and I swear to god your laugh makes me feel a hundred times lighter. You're the most generous, caring woman I've ever met. And then, there's me.''

''Yeah, there's you''

Temari rolled her eyes

''And you're an insanely gorgeous, sweet, most down-to-earth person I've ever met. Whenever I look at you, I'm instantly happy. Just being around you makes me smile. I just want to hold you and kiss you and cuddle you and everything else I could do''

Temari suddenly got red in the face. What was wrong with her? She never said or felt things like that. But for some reason, Ten-ten made her feel things she never had. She wasn't exactly sure what the feeling was, but she sure as hell liked it. Ten-ten didn't say a word because mere language couldn't express what she was feeling right then.

''The villagers will be wondering were we went since we don't have any missions scheduled for a while.''

Temari smirked

''About that, Ten-ten... I talked with Lady Tsunade and she allowed me to come with you on your next escort''

Escorts for them usually mean watching some low-level royalty who's too afraid to die, which amounts to a few days of travel, a day of protecting, and a few days of travel back.

''Plenty of alone time, then, aye Temari?''

''Well, we'll have teammates with us, won't we?''

''Nope, we're both Chunin, and according to the Leaf Village code of conduct means we won't need more than 2 teammates,''

''So, it really is just us then?''

''It seems that way''

They looked at each other nervously. What would this night mean? Would they be together or remain friends?

''So Ten-ten, when do we leave?''

Temari figured they'd have time to figure it out before they spent a week alone together.

''We leave tomorrow morning.''

So that's it for now. I'll write another soon. Tell me if you want to week to be casual or M rated(:
