A/N: Hi hi!

Okay. The options from last time were:

1. Tenten admits to Sakura that she might be falling in love with a vampire. Sasuke immediately knows that it's Neji and tells Tenten to stay the hell away from him. Neji is found missing, and Tenten blames Sasuke.

2. Tenten is still unsure about her feelings, but strongly still hates vampires. Neji understands, and decides to deny his feelings at the moment. Sakura admits to Sasuke that she likes him… but Sasuke is too busy worrying about Tenten to notice.

3. Tenten finds another half vampire in the school, and starts to fall in love with him. Neji gets jealous and very protective. Sasuke is a little TOO overprotective of his sister, and ignores Sakura's feelings to the point that she yells at him.

And the vote count was:

1. 5 votes.

2. 7 votes.

3. 12 votes. - WINNER!!!

---------------------------------------

"Hey, Neji?" Tenten walked out. He spun around, topless and stared at her. "Uh.. Ahem. Do you know what happened to my lips?" Neji's eye twitched slightly.

"No idea." He lied. Tenten nodded as her lip quirked slightly.

"Well, thanks anyways. For yesterday." She touched her neck as the bumps were slowly fading away. "I know I was almost a vampire and then you saved me."

"No problem." He retorted. He averted her eyes quickly and let out a large breath. Tenten walked back into the bathroom and touched her lips again.

Why do they look like this? Tenten sighed and walked out to see Neji dressed in jeans, and a tank top. She quickly walked to her drawer to pick out some clothes when Neji grabbed her wrist.

"You should be resting." Neji said quietly. She looked up at him and she pulled away from him quickly. "You said you wouldn't touch me…" She glared hard at him. He paused and then nodded slightly.

"Then I guess I was wrong to save you yesterday." Neji opened his mouth and tapped his fangs. "Maybe I should have just let you become a vampire. That would be good, after all, that's what I want."

"… What are you trying to get at?" Tenten asked him. Neji shrugged slightly and picked up his backpack.

"I guess I have to go considering that you won't forgive me for my selfish acts." He muttered.

"Hey- Wait!" Tenten grabbed his arm this time. "I didn't say you have to leave!"

"That was the other end of the promise." Neji responded.

"W-Well, I don't want you to go, alright?" She glared at him. Neji raised an eyebrow.

"Why's that?" He asked.

Did I just say that? Ummm. "I don't know… Just don't, alright?"

"… Are you trying to say something?" Neji asked. Tenten looked up at him grinning.

"Shut up. It's just no fun. I wouldn't be able to scream and aim all my vampire hatred towards anyone."

"Thanks. I'm glad to know that I'm being used in the most appropriate way." Neji said sarcastically. Tenten shot him a look and shook her head quickly.

"Just stay, alright? I want to go see my brother."

"You will." Neji muttered and turned his back to her, smirking. Tenten paused and looked at him.

"Are you going to come?" She asked quietly. Neji turned to her.

"Yeah…" I'll always be wherever you are…

-Many months later- Tenten's pov-

It's been such a long time since I came to this academy. Or so, I feel. I've met a lot of vampires, and I'm kinda friends with them. I know, I know, I hated vampires. I do still hate them. Some… I noticed, are just different. Although, there are some vampires I'm still afraid of. But, I have Sasuke and Neji to protect me, right?

Oh. And so, it's been really weird. Brother has been keeping his distance once in a while… and since that accident with the full moon and stuff, he's extra careful to be somewhere away from me and Sakura. I don't know where, but he's able to come back safely the next morning. Neji's been a little protective too. He's everywhere. It's as if, he's bond to me. Strange, huh?

"Jeez, Neji. Just listen to me alright?" He looked at me weirdly and nodded.

"You really should start your work. Kakashi isn't going to let you slip because you're a human." Tenten looked away and shrugged gently. "Hey, hey. Wanna know something?" I asked grinning. "I would never tell this to my brother, but, I've told Sakura and other people." He looked at me an raised an eyebrow.

"So you trust someone like me?" He asked. I looked at him harshly.

"What do you mean, someone like me? Of course I trust you."

"I'm a vampire. You still hate vampires, right?"

"… Well, some. I don't hate them all." I grinned. "I don't hate you."

"Why not?" He asked.

"I don't know. Somehow, you're not like the other vampires I've encountered."

"Not like the others?" Neji looked at me carefully.

"Yeah. Something like that. Anyways, so I think I like this certain someone." Neji was silent.

"...And who would that be?"

"Um. His name is Kankuro."

"… You like that brown haired half breed loser?" Neji asked angrily. His pencil suddenly snapped, as I heard him throw it into the trash can. I looked at him and kept working on my homework at the same time. I had troubles looking for the words…

"Well…. Yeah. Kinda."

"What do you see in him?" Neji asked, his smirk going away.

"He's a half breed, and he's really nice to me." Neji glared at me.

"And I'm not nice to you?" Neji asked. I paused and was silent for a while. I avoided his look, as his eyes slowly drilled holes into my heart. "Tenten?" I bit my lip.

"Yeah. You're nice."

"So why like someone like him?" Another question shot out at me.

"Because he's part human."

"Oh. So that's it.. Because he's part human." Neji shut his text book loudly. "I'm going out." He muttered coldly.

"That wasn't the reason." I mumbled quietly. Neji stared at me.

"Then… What's the reason for liking him? If he's nice like everyone else, what makes him so special?" Neji asked. I felt as if I somehow pierced the vampire's cold heart. Did I manage to inflict him some how?

"Why do you care?" I asked him. I mean, it's bad enough that he's everywhere that I am… but for him to drill into my personal life?! He was silent and looked away.

"You're really stupid." He muttered coldly.

"… That's something I haven't heard before."

"All you humans are the same." He touched his forehead. "I thought you'd be different."

"What are you talking about?!" I shouted loudly.

"You'd never understand." Neji looked down. This wasn't the Neji I knew. It wasn't the vampire that I met many months ago. He was cold, sarcastic… never emotional.

"Tell me. I'll understand. I promise."

"You don't know how it feels." Neji shook his head and walked out.

"What just happened?" I placed my hand over my heart as it started to thump wildly. "Why are you beating so loudly?" I looked down and kept on doing homework until there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I asked plainly.

"Who else?" I opened the door to see none other than Sasuke.

"Oh. It's you." He raised an eyebrow at me.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked.

"I don't know…" I shook my head and sat back on the bed.

"Is that Hyuga causing you any trouble? Cause if he is, I'll beat him up." Sasuke glared at me. I looked up and shook my head again. I leaned back on the bed and shut my eyes.

"Not really." I whispered. "Or well, not entirely."

"What does that mean? You're talking exactly like him. Always talking in riddles. I can never understand what you're trying to say now a days." Sasuke pushed me over and sat on the bed next to me.

"Well. I can't help that." I shrugged. "Anyways. I told him about something, and he kinda went all philosophical or something like that. And he got all angry at me."

"What did you tell him?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh nothing really. I just told him that I had a crush on-"

"What?" Sasuke asked and raised an eyebrow.

Crap. I shouldn't have told him. I grinned. "I had a crush on-"

"A crush?"

"Stop interrupting me!" I shouted and adjusted my voice. "Uh. Yes. I have a crush on someone, and he's not totally a vampire. He's kinda… half? And anyways, he got really angry at me when I couldn't provide any reason of why I'd like someone like that."

"So who do you like?" I glared at him.

"I'm not telling!" I shouted.

"But you told Neji. And you don't tell me?" He asked. "Well, I feel loved."

"I never really saw you as a brother anyways." I shut my eyes to see Sasuke looking down.

"Really?" My eye twitched.

"Why are you even in my room? You're always in here!" I shouted. He looked at me standing on the bed.

"As a brother, I should watch for your safety." Sasuke reminded me. I sighed and scratched my head.

"Yeah, yeah. But, you don't have to be everywhere I am. You're almost as bad as Neji." Sasuke jumped off the bed as his eyes doubled the size. "What?"

"Neji's everywhere you are?!"

"… No." I lied. Sasuke sighed. Back to the serious mood.

"That would be bad. He's a vampire after all." Sasuke said quietly. "Anyways, Sakura's been giving me these weird looks."

"She likes you, brother." I whispered and put my books in my bag. "Haven't you noticed?" He paused and shook his head. "You really aren't the observant one."

"As you can see, I don't like her." Sasuke objected.

"Atleast be nice to her. If you don't like her, just be friends with her."

"I have other things I need to worry about. Like your protection."

"I'm fine, Sasuke. I can take care of myself." I stood and stretched. "Thank god today is Saturday." I grinned as Sasuke stared at me. "I'm going out."

"With who?" Sasuke asked. I smiled gently.

"Kankuro."

"That kid? You're going to go on a date with him?" He asked angrily.

"Calm down." I replied. "Just don't butt in."

"I don't know what you see in him." Sasuke replied.

"In many ways, you're just like Neji." I sighed. He glared hard at me.

"Don't you dare compare me to someone like him." He muttered and opened the door for both of us. First thing we saw was Sakura. She was grinning widely. I nudged him in the rib. "Hi Sakura."

"Wanna go somewhere?" She smiled nicely. "We can all go and grab some dinner." I scratched the back of my head and grinned slightly.

"Sorry, Sakura. I have somewhere I need to go."

"Did you not finish homework?" She asked. I shook my head.

"I did. Don't worry. I'm going out with someone tonight." She blinked and smiled.

"Okay. So, is it just me and Sasuke?"

"I actually-" Sasuke started. I stepped on his foot.

"Would love to go. Sasuke would love to have dinner with you, Sakura. One minute." I grabbed his wrist and pulled him. "This is a great chance for you and Sakura."

"I don't want there to be a me and Sakura." I patted his shoulder.

"Give her a shot. You might really like her."

"… I highly doubt that." Sasuke retorted.

"You owe her so much. She tended to your wounds after the full moon ended, she saved me many times and you still say that you don't like her one bit?" I asked him angrily. He paused and looked away.

"I like her, but not like a girlfriend kinda thing." He mumbled quietly, sticking his hands in his pocket.

"That's good enough. I have to go. Have fun." I turned and started to walk away.

….. No POV…..

It's stupid. All so stupid. Neji cursed his feelings as he sat on the roof of the building. I always get so angry when she talks about other boys. Do I really like her that much? He rested his chin on his arm as his ears perked.

"H-Hi!"

"Hey. Ready to go?"

"Yes."

Tenten? He leaned over the rail to see the most disgusting thing ever. He inwardly growled as he saw that half breed buffoon holding Tenten's hand. Neji clenched the rail so hard that it bent to his hand shape. Damn him. Neji immediately thought.

….

"Um. So what are we doing for dinner?" Tenten asked nervously.

"I thought we'd have a picnic." Kankuro grinned. He was wearing a loose t shirt and baggy shorts. He pulled out a basket and put food down on the picnic bench. "Is that okay?" He asked and wiggled his nose slightly.

"Yeah!" Tenten smiled.

"…" Little did they know, Neji was watching them.

….

"So, Sasuke-kun… What are you going to order?" Sasuke paused and then pointed. "Oh. I'm going to eat this okay?" She smiled. He nodded and remained quiet.

"Does Tenten talk about me to you?" Sasuke asked. Sakura paused and nodded.

"Yeah. She does."

"Really?" He asked. Sakura nodded.

"Of course." Sasuke played around with his fork.

"Oh. Anyways, did she ever tell you about this Kankuro guy?" Sakura was silent.

"No. She didn't tell me anything about him. She's told me things about Neji though. And Neji's told me things about her." Sakura sipped on her drink as Sasuke stood and slammed the table.

"Are you serious?"

Is this the only way to get Sasuke-kun to talk? If we're talking about his sister?! Sakura's brows furrowed. "Yes. Why wouldn't I be serious? Neji's told me a lot of things… and so has Tenten."

"Tell me everything."

"No." Sakura stared at him.

"Why not?" Sasuke asked.

"You always think about your sister. You're so overprotective of her!" Sakura raised her voice. Sasuke sat down and glowered at her. His lips in a tight line…

"Listen, Sakura. I need to know everything. She's a mortal… she's not a super hero. She's not a vampire.. She's not a half breed. She's a human! Her blood smells good, and nearly all the vampires want to eat her. I need to know everything. Please, Sakura, for Tenten's safety!" Sakura looked at him carefully.

"Sasuke-kun. If Tenten wanted to tell you, I'm sure she'd tell you. It's just that she told me and not you. There are things in people's lived which can't be just outspoken.." Sakura whispered. Sasuke stared at her.

"I'm her brother. I need to know these things."

"Is this the only reason you talk to me?" She asked. She pushed her drink away from her and avoided looking at Sasuke. "Do you really not think of me as a friend?" She whispered quietly.

"I…" Sasuke was silent.

….

"That was really good, Kankuro." Tenten smiled.

"I knew you'd like it." He smirked.. He suddenly started to lean forward.

O-Oh my goodness. He's going to…. Kiss… Tenten started to shut her eyes and lean forwards too when a sharp pain shot through her fingers. She retracted back quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"Ow. Stupid splinter." She held up her finger. She carefully started to pull it out when-

Don't do it, you idiot!

Neji? What are you doing in my head?!

Don't touch it. It's bad enough that it punctured your skin. Don't let the blood seep.

You have no reason to be reading my mind! How do you know what I'm doing?!

I don't need to know what you're doing. You're always doing something stupid anyways.

Why are you even talking to me?!

It's for your own safety. Don't touch it. Let it be.

Fine. I won't touch it.

Good.

"Are you okay?" Kankuro asked. Tenten nodded. She looked at him carefully.

"I think I'll-" He grabbed her hand. There was a lustful look in his eyes. It wasn't only Neji who wanted her blood after all. It was this guy too. "K-Kankuro…?"

"I'll take care of it." He pulled at the splinter lightly and watched as blood started trickling down. Not pulling the splinter out, she watched his eyes, fixed on her blood. He sniffed it and Tenten saw his eyes change… his face changed. His teeth were out… but shouldn't he have had more resistance? He was a half breed after all.

"No.. No. It's okay. I'll-" He leaned forward and drew his face closer to her finger. Tenten shouted loudly. "No!"

Shut your eyes now.

Tenten quickly followed the order and shut her eyes. Next thing she knew, there was a loud thump and a shout.

Not yet. Don't open yet.

She kept her eyes shut, until suddenly she was lifted up into the air into strong arms.

"You can open now." Tenten obeyed and looked up to see her, hoisted bridal style in the vampire's arm.

"Neji? What are you doing here?" Tenten asked.

"I was making sure that you didn't get eaten by that guy."

"What did you do to him?!" Tenten shouted as she glared up at him.

"Nothing really. I punched him and then he was out cold."

"...."

"Oh... Kankuro, i mean he was just going to pull out the splinter." Tenten whispered and muttered something else.

"Yeah. And that's why you screamed?" Neji asked her. "Because he was going to pull out a splinter? Don't make me laugh. You know as well as i do what he really wanted."

"... So? Other things were going to happen..." Tenten mumbled.

"I know he was about to kiss you…" Neji kept walking, with Tenten in his arms.

"Yeah. It was about to be my first kiss when this stupid splinter got in the way…" Tenten slowly mumbled.

"…. First kiss?" Neji blinked and bit his lip gently.

"Uh yeah. My first kiss." Tenten looked up at him.

"It wouldn't have been your first kiss…"

"It wouldn't?" Tenten asked. "Second?"

"…. No."

"Third?"

"Yeah." Neji retorted. Tenten was silent.

"Oh." And then the bomb started. "Hey. Wait! How did you know.. About- And I never remembered kissing anyone!!" She shouted loudly. Neji put her down as she stared up at him. "You… You kissed me?!"

"…" Neji looked away. "I had to get the poison out." He whispered.

"So… my lips that day.. Were swollen because you kissed me?!" She shouted.

"Hey. It wasn't only me. You kissed me involuntary."

"What are you talking about?!" She shouted. "Me? Tenten Uchiha… why would I ever kiss a vampire?"

"I don't know. You shocked me too. I only kissed you because I had to get the poison out. You kissed me for a whole different reason." Neji touched his lips as Tenten gulped and processed the information.

I only kissed you because I had to get the poison out. I only kissed you because I had to get the poison out. It played over and over in her mind when she glared up at him. "Was that the only reason?!"

"That I kissed you?" Neji asked. "Pretty much."

"You… You're so mean! You take my first kiss away because you wanted to get poison out of me?!"

"You would have turned into a vampire otherwise, Tenten." Neji responded simply. Tenten looked down, guilty.

"D-Did… I really kiss you?" Tenten asked. Neji looked away and nodded.

"Hn…"

"No. No." Tenten touched her head and walked away from Neji. He walked back and forth. "I couldn't. My first kiss… didn't belong to a vampire."

"What's wrong with it belonging to a vampire?" Neji asked.

"It's just.." Tenten looked away. "I hate them. I hate them all.. And to think that I lost my first kiss to one of you."

"… All vampires aren't the same, Tenten." He grabbed her wrist tightly. "That guy… He wanted to…" Neji paused as he still stared at the splinter. He carefully pulled out as Tenten let out a little squeak. "You said it yourself. Not all vampires are the same." He whispered as he placed his lips to her finger. As usual, the cut immediately healed due to Tenten's abnormal healing rate. "I don't want to be compared to all the vampires."

"…" Tenten looked away. "And so… was I your first kiss too?" She asked quietly. Neji let go of her wrist.

"Would it matter?" Neji asked.

"See? You don't understand. I wanted my first kiss to mean something." Neji held both of her wrists so she wouldn't turn away.

"Look at me, Tenten. That kiss…. It meant something. It meant something really important. To you, and to me."

"…." Tenten looked up as a tear slid from her eyes.

"It meant saving your life. And that to me… is worth much more than my own." Neji bent gently down and kissed her forehead. Tenten's eyes widened.

"Neji... What are your feelings for me?" She asked quietly. He was silent.

"… Tenten…"

….

"Sakura, look-"

"No!" She shouted and slammed the table this time. "All this time… All this time, I've been…" She looked down as tears trickled onto the table.

"Wait. Sakura… why are you crying?" Sasuke asked. She glared at him.

"You always talk about your sister. Is there anything else we can talk about?! Sasuke-kun…" She looked at him, eyes glistening wet. "I… You always treat me… like a tool. When you need information about your sister, I'm the one you come to, to talk to."

"Sakura you're-"

"I'm being used. And you know what? I hate that feeling!" Sakura shouted at him. "You're too overprotective of your sister! She may be a human, but she needs to be free too!"

"…. I know what you mean. This isn't about what you want!"

"What I want?!" Sakura shouted. "You're ignoring my feelings for you!" She screamed loudly at him. Sasuke was silent. He couldn't take his eyes off of her.

"Feelings… for me?"

"You're so stupid! This whole time… I've been loving you! But you've been so blind with protecting your sister, that you ignored my feelings! The least you could do was accept them, or reject them. Don't leave me hanging here! I don't even know why I laid my eyes on someone like you, worthless half breed!" Sakura fled out of the restaurant.

"Sakura, wait!" He shouted and knocked the table over. The waitress stared at him. He looked at her, a pain and guilty look in his eyes. "Sorry." He muttered quickly and ran out. Sakura.

OH THE DRAMA!!!!!!

Okay. So options for the next chapter:

1. Neji admits that he loves Tenten, but she doesn't accept his feelings yet. Sasuke finds Sakura and tells him how he feels about her.

2. Neji lies about his feelings for Tenten, and she in return yells at him for giving her the wrong message. Sasuke finds Sakura and tells her how he feels about her.

3. Neji admits that he loves Tenten, and she tells him that she kind of likes him back… but as a friend only!! Sasuke finds Sakura and tells her how he feels about her.

Hehe. Either way, Sasuke is going to eventually admit his feelings to Sakura!!

Sooooo… please review and tell me what you want to read in the next chapter!! Thanks!!
