Chapter Four: Oh. My God.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

"What the fu-" Kankuro began before being cut short by Tenten screaming again, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE??" Tenten grabs the pillow behind her and throws it at him, "GET OUT! GET OUT!"

Kankuro steps towards her, arms raised, "Hey, hey, I just need to get some clothes!"

He took another step towards her, however it seemed that the combination of moving and removing his hands from hoisting up the towel resulted in dreadful circumstances. Tenten watched, to horrified to look away, as the fabric fell to the floor.

Tenten went bright red.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Kankuro looked down then up again, face red, "SHIT!" he grabs the towel and wraps it around himself, "nonono! I swear, I didn't mean to do that!"

"GO AWAY!"

"Wait, I can explain, it was an acciden—"

"GET OUR OF HERE NOW!" Tenten screams. She leans down the side of the bed and grabs a sneaker, throwing it at his head. Kankuro swore and dodged, gave her one last frantic look before running out the door and slamming it shut.

Tenten stared at the door, breathing hard. That was it, she was getting out of here before he came back!

She got out of the bed, pulling the covers with her, looking around for her clothes. They had to be here somewhere! As she was looking, carefully avoiding the boxers with her feet, she heard voices outside the door. She began to look faster, panicking. They were going to come in and kill her or worse, they'd…they'd…

"YOU BAKA!" Screamed a high-pitched voice. A smack and a yell sounded behind the door. Tenten backed away as it was wrenched open by a very scary looking woman, "I am so sorry, Tenten-san," she said, "my stupid brother here decided to come in without consulting me or Gaara about what happened when he was out!"

Tenten nodded and took a step back again. She knew this girl, she's almost murdered her at the Chuunin exams a few years back!

"It's my room!" said Kankurou defensively, coming to the doorway as well. Tenten gulped – she was in the same house as two murderous homicidal…

He turned to look at Tenten, lowered his eyes, and blushed again.

Murderous homicidal PERVERTS!

Tenten pulled the covers closer around her body. Today was turning out to be the most mentally destroying experience of her life.

"Temari-san? Kankuro-san?" asked a horribly familiar voice. Tenten's mouth fell open as a familiar green-clad boy came walking through the door.

"TENTEN?!" cries Lee with surprise, "WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?!"

"Lee, what are you talking about?" says a voice, Neji appearing at his side. Neji turns and his gaze meets hers. She watches as his eyebrows quirk up in surprise, and his eyes slowly drift down her body as a blush appears on his cheeks, "Tenten?"

Tenten stares as the ensemble in front of her. Oh. My god. This could not possibly get worse.

"Lee-san? Neji-san?" says yet another voice, and a certain red-head appeared at the door. He meets Tenten's gaze with ease

"Ah, I see you've found Tenten-san. That was the reason I called you here. She bumped her head."

"Yes, I bumped my head," said Tenten, frustration rising with her embarrassment level, "I bumped my head and it started bleeding, that I understand." She clenches the fist that isn't tightly holding the blankets around her body and she feels her cheeks heat up the way they usually do when she's about to loose it. She notices Lee and Neji slowly take a step back.

"I do not see however," she fixes Gaara with a deadly glare, "why that means you have to strip me of my clothes and put me in your perverted brothers bed—"

"Hey, I'm not a perv-"

"AND PUT ME IN YOUR PERVERTED BROTHERS BEDwith NO IDEA where I am!!"

"You were in Kankurou's bed?" Asks Neji. She glances at him. He shoots Kankurou a death glare, and the boy gulps.

Temari glances around and gives a nervous laugh, "Haha, well, this certainly is awkward! I'll go get your clothes, Tenten-chan, they should be cleaned by now, and then we can all discuss this over tea down stairs!"

The six sit around the dinner table. Kankurou glancing around nervously as Neji shot mental daggers at him from his seat opposite. Tenten glances around from her seat between him and Lee (having no say in the matter, of course, she would much rather have sat Temari, who was at least a girl and would sympathise with her being discovered naked by four boys).

"…And she ran into a tree," Gaara finished, sipping the tea with his eyes closed.

"Is this true?" Neji asks her with a raised eyebrow. She nods, refusing to speak to him after the eye-roaming incident. Kankurou snorts but stops when Temari slaps him over the head.

"How serious is the wound?"

"It's fine," Tenten says, and really it was, her head didn't hurt at all anymore and the cut had healed over. It was perfectly fine.

"It was bleeding heavily," said Gaara, "but it's alright now. Temari knows some basic healing, she was able to clean the wound, and then she removed and washed Tenten-san's clothes, due to them being covered in blood."

"I still don't see why that was necessary." Tenten muttered.

"They were covered in blood," Temari explained, "They were pretty bad. I thought that you'd prefer clean clothes to get changed into, after you slept."

"Oh, you shouldn't have bothered, Temari-sama," Lee says, drinking from his cup, "Tenten gets blood on her clothes quite a bit!"

Tenten feels her skin go clammy. She glances at Lee. No, he wouldn't.

"At least once a month she gets her pants bloody! I'm not sure how it happens, but usually we're sparring and then she looks down and says, 'CRAP not again' and storms off! It's very odd."

"Lee." She says, with deliberate warning. She can see Neji next to her clenching his teeth.

"It's alright Tenten-san, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, we're all a little clumsy and you do have all those sharp kunai in your belt. You're usually quite prepared for it now, though, it hasn't happened for a while, and nothing so bad as the first time you started bleeding at training—"

"OH MY GOD LEE! Please, PLEASE can you SHUT UP!" Tenten screamed, placing her head on her lap, face burning.

"But Tente-"

"Lee." Neji fixed him with a deadly gaze, "Just stop speaking. Now."

Temari snorted and Kankurou looked everywhere else but at them. Tenten willed for something to come up from the ground and eat her whole. A few minutes of incredibly awkward silence followed. Lee, never good at silences, decided to intervene.

"We were lucky that Tsunade-sama allowed us to come and visit you before we headed off, I was very sad to cut our day together short. It is very lucky that Tenten is here as well, so we can all say goodbye. Neji really wanted to say goodbye to you, Tenten-san, he felt bad for leaving you," Lee said with a grin. Tenten looked at Neji with surprise.

"Lee. I told you to shut up." Neji whispered angrily. Lee, oblivious to any sound other then a yell, continued relentless, "Neji-san tried very hard to persuade her to take you on the mission, instead of Sakura-san, but--"

Lee was silenced with a particularly hard kick by Neji.

"With her injury, it would be impossible for her to go anyway." Gaara says quietly, "It is much better she stays in Konoha."

"Yes, yes!" Lee agree, "Thankyou very much to taking care of her, Gaara-sama! Without you, Tenten would probably still be under that tree, dying from blood loss."

Tenten was about to say she wouldn't have gotten hurt if Gaara hadn't tried to murder her, but was interrupted when Kankurou slamed his cup down, "I still don't understand why no one thought it was a good idea to tell me all this had happened! That was my personal room that she invaded there—"

"When are you going on your mission?" Gaara asks Neji, interrupting his brother.

"We have to leave in three hours."

"Excuse me," Kankurou continued, raising his voice louder, "I said, Why didn't anyone ask me if I wanted to have my room invaded by a stranger?! And a naked one at that!"

Neji turns on him sharply, "what do you mean naked?"

The air crackled. "You should probably leave now then, if you want to be ready on time." Gaara says, meeting Neji's eyes. They stay that way for a few minutes.

Neji nods, "Come on Tenten, Lee, we're leaving."

They both rise out of their seats, Tenten careful not to make eye contact in case she dies from embarrassment on the spot. She bows down low, "thankyou very much for your trouble."

"No trouble at all." Temari says with an amused grin.

"I am sorry, Gaara-sama," said Lee with a sad smile, "Neji and I will be out of town almost the entire time you are here!"

"That is unfortunate." The red-head said, and Tenten thought that perhaps he meant it, his expression slightly more mournful then usual.

"But!" He continued, "Tenten is here the entire time, so she will be happy to spend time with you and your family!"

Tenten twitched. No. No way in hell, not after what Lee just put her through! They knew more about her then she ever wanted them to know – especially Kankurou!

She glared at Lee. There was no way she was agreeing to this! But Lee stood there, smiling with his idiotic happy smile, and Tenten felt her will breaking.

"Th…that would be fun." She says, though she knows it will be the exact opposite.

"Hai." Said Gaara.

Lee beams at the two of them. Neji frowns, "come."

Tenten nods and together, the three of them walk out, Tenten making a mental note to kill Lee next time he spills secrets about her personal life – whether he means it or not. They get outside the house and down the street before Neji spins and glares at her.

"Tenten?"

"mm?"

"We need to talk."

"About what, Neji?" asks Lee.

"I need to talk to Tenten alone."

Alone? With Neji? Who is most defiantly angry at her, judging by his 'I'm going to kill you' gaze? She gulps. Epic crap.

AN: !! I'm back, was that good? Did it meet expectations? Did you LIKE it?! I'm worried I lost my touch xD but hopefully it'll come back.

Here's a mental destruction chapter for you. I actually had a proper plan for this chapter, but I forgot it, so I improvised (A lot) and came up with this. Expect more frequent updates - I'M FREE BABY! NO MORE EXAMS!!

Actual plot and lovey-dovey will happen soon, don't worry. If you want to make my happy, reviewing is always good. You can tell me how bad this story is xD!

Thanks all! Hope you like(d) and sorry about tense changes. I don't know what I was on, either.
