All I Had To Do Was Sing

Here is part 2, just like I promised. Part 3 might come either today or tomorrow if I have enough time. Enjoy chapter 1, part 2 everyone! It's only Neji and Tenten from here on out!

(Go, my pretty lines! Go!)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tenten had been following Neji through the dusty, bedraggled streets of Konoha for quite some time. 'Should I ask him where we're going?' she thought nervously in her mind whilst staring at Neji's long, dark hair as it swung gently in the breeze. 'No, I'll let him tell me when he wants to… Besides, even if I did ask, he wouldn't tell me until he wanted to.'

They continued walking alone and un-interrupted through the village streets. It seemed cold and eerie to her, but her long years of shinobi training insisted that she didn't show it. Even if something bad were to happen, she had the Hyuga prodigy with her. Her nerves dissimilated at those thoughts.

Minutes later, Neji led Tenten outside the village and deep into the forest. He turned to her and spoke in a gentle voice, one that Tenten wasn't used to hearing. "Ok. Now, close your eyes, Tenten, and take my hand."

Tenten quietly obeyed and let him lead her through the forest. Shadows lept and twisted in front of her closed eyes, but she wasn't afraid. Not as long as he was their to protect her.

Suddenly, she was confused. Neji had stopped moving. With that same soft, gentle voice, he addressed her again. "Ok. Open your eyes, Tenten." When she did, she couldn't believe where she was. Before her was at a beautiful lagoon with a huge waterfall pouring into a small lake. Surrounding and obscuring this to trespassers were tall trees and bushes around the whole area. "I hope you like it. I come here to meditate when I have nothing else to do."

As he said this, and to Tenten's immense shock, Neji stripped to his boxers and water-walked to the middle of the pond. Meditating, eyes closed, he hoped he had made the message of inviting her to meditate with him clear.

Once her heart had slowed to an adequate pace, the massage finally dawned on her. Slowly, nervously, she, too, stripped to her underwear, water-walked, and sat down next to Neji, both in half-meditation.

"You have a nice voice," Neji said after a while, his new, serene voice gliding through her, making her body tense and send shivers up and down her spine. It took Tenten completely by surprise, causing her to momentarily loose her concentration and almost fall into the water. "Are you ok?" he asked, still keeping his eyes closed to respect her privacy.

"I- I'm fine." She took a moment to steady herself- both mentally and physically, "Do you really like my voice Neji?" She was glad that his eyes were closed. If they were open, they would be able to make out the subsequent shaking of her hands as her heart fluttered in her throat.

Neji thought for a moment, trying to think of just the right words to say to convey his emotions. "Yes, I do. I have never heard anything so beautiful and clear in my life." This time, Tenten lost complete and utter control of herself and fell straight into the lake water.

Neji opened his eyes and stuck his arm into the water for Tenten to grab and pull herself out with. When his smooth, nimble hand met with her calloused, rough ones, Neji closed his eyes and pulled her up. He always envied those hands. Years of hard work and had been traced onto them, showing the dedication and heart of their owner.

When she got out, she accidentally rolled into his lap and looked, unabashedly, right at him. 'I should let him see me,' she thought to herself. 'After all, I'm not naked. And he let me see him in his boxers!' Tenten took a deep, slow breath, pushing her nerves into the deep recesses of her mind. Not an easy task, mind you. "Neji, you can open your eyes and look at me if you want. I trust you."

Neji hesitated. "Are you sure Tenten?"

This time, she tried to sound more sure of herself than before. "Yes, I am."

He opened his eyes and looked at the nearly naked, flawless girl in his lap. His pearly white orbs traveled up and down her toned, well muscled body. Her toes were well taken care of, as if she had recently had a pedicure. The calves and thighs seemed tight and strong. Her waist was small and her stomach had the beginnings of six pack abs. His vision stopped when he arrived at her ample breasts. 'What amazing cleavage she has,' he thought to himself.

His mouth seemed to go dry and his hands seemed to get sweaty all of a sudden. "You're very beautiful Tenten. I-" he stopped for a moment, trying to get a grip on himself. These next words were going to be the most important words he'd ever say to anyone. He knew it. "I love you! I love you very much."

A weight Neji had never known seemed to have suddenly been lifted off his shoulders. The beginnings of a small smile twitched at his lips as his mind seemed to be suddenly clear of all outside intervention. It was as though Neji Hyuga had suddenly entered a whole new world of thought. And that one thought was of the drop-dead-gorgeous girl sitting in his lap.

Tenten looked at him, eyes wide, desperately clinging to those last few words. 'Neji loves me too!' she thought loudly. 'And he thinks I'm beautiful!' "I love you too Neji! I always have, and I always will!" With those words escaping her lips, she pulled him into the water.

When they got out of the water, Neji pulled Tenten on top of him and kissed her, licking her lips for permission to enter. She gave it to him and they explored each others' mouths greedily, tongues fighting for dominance. He stuck his tongue deep inside her, all the while letting his hands roam her body while hers mimicked his.

(End of Part 2)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we are at the part of our story where we began. We will continue from where our lovers are done kissing due to 'lack of oxygen' in part 3. Yes, there is a third part, but that is very short, and that is where the real fun for Neji and Tenten begins. I hope you guys like the story so far. My friends and I do. Truth be told, this was the very first story I wrote to put on here before I had an account here on dear old fanfiction. I had a friend who was going to put it up for me, but I got my account and now, here we are. The reason my other story is on here first was because I was in more of a rush to get that on here so that I could be the first author to have a story in which Hizashi comes back to life. Anywho, part 3 will come up soon, then I will get chapter 2 started. That chapter is not divided into parts because it doesn't have that many events to need it. Review please!

(L.E. here! Believe it or not, this little S.O.B. took me a little over 2 hours to edit. 2 HOURS! And the real pain in the butt is that I know I'm not done! I'm going to be reading this over and BAM! I see a mistake. So, if you have an editor out there, make sure to tell them how much you appreciate their hard work. This isn't exactly easy work. Now, High Hoe Silver! AWAY!)
