A/N: Okay!

So once again... there was a TIE. between option 1 and 2.

1. 17
2. 17
3. 10

So, i tried to make something new. i did mention how Tenten wanted Neji to get better/heal before anything. But, being the stubborn Neji, he gets what he wants. And it is insinuated... and well... it's not exactly clear, but it's rated T, so it can't be you know.. yeah....

and i also added a little flashback and some more that was not in the options but, that's okay, because... i think it fits in the plot perfectly.

Thanks for the reviewing and favoriting!! (too lazy to list the whole list of reviewers, author and story alerters, favoriters. You know who you are!!) are those even words? ahem.. anyways, thanks!!

Enjoy!

"N-Neji.." I mumbled his name as he kissed my jaw.

"Hm?"

"We shouldn't." I pushed myself away from him. "You're still hurt…" I whispered and held his hands in mine. "We have to get you somewhere safe. It seems like this place could collapse any minute."

"I don't care. I just want to be with you." He leaned to kiss me again.

"Neji. Come on, seriously." He kissed my cheek as I turned my face.

"I'm dead serious, Tenten." Neji looked at me, his eyes burning with passion. It was hard to resist his beautiful eyes and the soft words rolling from the tip of his tongue… "I want you to be mine. I don't want Daisuke to have you."

"I am yours, Neji."

"Then let's just make it official." He whispered in my ear.

"Your safety comes first." I stood up and held out my hand.

"Why do you have to do this?" He asked and stood up.

"Because you're hurt." I hit him gently as he winced. "See?"

"So are you." He muttered grimly and ran his fingers down my arm. "I should've killed them."

"No. You're in no position to kill anybody." I glared at him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Let's get you to the hospital." He let out a laugh.

"Yeah right. Your urge to drink blood isn't under control yet. You'll be drinking everything in the blood bank.." I crossed my arms and pulled away from him.

"Please. I promise… later." Neji looked at me.. His eyes burning. He shut his eyes and opened his wings.

"… Fine. You should be wanting blood now anyways."

"Neji. I want you to be completely healed. It's my fault that you got hurt."

"No. It's Sasuke's." That name… brought back the bubbling hatred I felt for him now. How dare he choose her over me? His own sister… I hated him.. I hated Sasuke, and Sakura.

"Tenten. Let's go." I started to feel dizzy.

"Bl-Blood.." The word trembled through my lips. He nodded.

"I know." He picked me up in his arms. "I know…" The words blurred as my eyes shut on me.

-

Blood. I smell it. It's everywhere… All over this house… The scent of blood is all over the place.

-

"You bastard."

"Who, me?"

"To become the heir… you'd go through so much to become an heir of the Hyuga?!"

"Go through so much? Whatever do you mean?"

"Did you really have to go and kill the woman I love?! You were already appointed with the heir. Why would you need to do something like this?!"

Blood was in the air.

"Why you ask me… I don't want there to ever be a reason to have me lost their title to you."

"For the title… you'd go as far as to kill your own brother?!"

"I would."

Blood spurt. A scream… bright lights… and the two bodies laid on the ground.

"Father!" Two boys ran in.

"Father…" One of them cried.

"Why'd you do that?!" The other one shouted.

"You don't expect to get what you want if you sit there, do you?"

"You didn't have to kill mother and father!"

"They were in the way as you can see. You can't get what you want if there are people in the way. For example… you… I can already tell that you are the heir.. Even if you two have the marks…. I know that you, boy are the heir to the clan."

"What?" The other one's eyes widened.

"I… am what?"

"You are in control of everything when I go. Do you want that…boy?" He looked at the boy who questioned.

"No.. I don't. I want to be in control!"

"Wait. What are you doing?!" The tall man walked away slowly, a trail of blood behind him.

"Follow me if you want power…"

"No, don't leave me!"

"I don't want you to have all the power. I want to control the Hyuga's. Why should I let you be the king?"

"I… I don't understand! Don't leave me, Daisuke!"

"Neji… I won't ever lose to you again. Father already knew that you were stronger than me. But that test… did it have to show that I was weaker than you?!"

"Please… I'm sorry. I'll try to be weaker. I'll try! Don't go, Daisuke."

"I'm sorry, brother… but, he's right. He knows what I want. And I want power."

"You… don't even cry over the death of our parents. You're a monster!"

"The way you fought out in the fields earlier, Neji…." He looked at his swollen arm and hissed. "You're the monster."

-

You're the monster. You're the monster.

-

Wh-What is this? Neji cringed as he put me down on the bed. He clutched his head. What is going on? I was breathing heavily on the bed. It was a nightmare, just another never ending nightmare. Blood was everywhere…

"Stop. Make it go away!" Neji shouted loudly and fell to his knees, grabbing his head in pain. "Stop!" My eyes shot open as I flung myself up and screamed.

"Where am I?!" Neji's breathing slowed down, as sweat trickled down his face.

What was that feeling? That memory… Neji bit his lip and took my hand. "Are you okay?"

"Scared. Blood. There.." I pointed to the wall as Neji shook his head.

"There's no blood there, Tenten." He managed to let out a gentle smile as I looked at him. There was a pain in his eyes.

"There is…" I touched his face gently and ran my finger over his cheek. "Blood here too." He touched it and shook his head again. "And over there." Right behind the door… there was a pile of blood. Red… glistening liquid.

"There's nothing there, Tenten. You're hallucinating. You're too thirsty." He let go of my hand and pulled his shirt over his hand and pulled me into his lap. "I know you're thirsty."

"I'm scared." I was shaking incredibly. How could he not see it? "Neji… I saw you."

"You're not making any sense."

-Neji's POV-

"You and Daisuke… your mom and your dad. They were over there." She pointed behind the door and I nodded.

"Yeah. My mom and dad died a long time ago. They got pretty sick." I mumbled to her and she shook her head.

"You're lying, Neji. Hiashi… he killed them didn't he? And Daisuke… he left with him… and his last words to you were… 'You're the monster'… Am I right?"

"How do you-" She placed her forehead on my shoulder.

"I saw it… just now. It was in my head."

"No wonder why the memories came back. I must have been reading your mind again. But, it's okay, Tenten."

"It's not. No wonder why you hate Hiashi so much…"

"I've always hated him. It wasn't just my parents death that jolted that emotion to arise." I rubbed her back gently. "And here I thought you were hallucinating."

"I'm sorry… for reminding you of their deaths."

"It's fine. I knew it would come back and bite me anyways. Speaking of bite…" I put my finger on my neck. "Go."

"No. I don't want blood."

"You're going to die if you don't." She threw her arms around me.

"I don't want to hurt you anymore. I don't want to drink your blood."

"You won't hurt me."

"Are you sure, Neji?" She asked me and put her finger on my neck. I nodded and shut my eyes and smiled gently. "You're not really a monster are you?" I froze.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because that's what your brother said…." She played around with my hair slightly.

"Do you believe him?" I asked her quietly.

"No. You're not a monster."

"…"

"Are you, Neji?" She pulled away from my neck.

"In some ways."

"How?" She asked me again. I felt her cringe and shake slightly.

"… Open your mouth."

"Like this? Ah…" I saw her fangs and nodded.

"Perfect." I shut my eyes and pulled her head and placed it right to my neck. I felt her teeth sink in as she started to choke.

"N-No-" She flinched but I kept my hand behind her head, to hold her still.

"Told you… I knew you were thirsty." I mumbled.

-Tenten's POV-

"Neji…" I pulled away and I shook my head. "I didn't want to drink your blood, I told you. You tricked me." I pouted at him as he nodded. "You're so mean…"

"Tenten. You needed the blood severely. You would've fainted without it." He mumbled quietly to me.

"You could've just poured me a cup of blood. Why did I have to drink the blood from your neck?" He bent forwards and pressed his lips to my jaw and licked away the blood. I took my arm and wiped my chin. "You didn't answer me." I leaned forward and kissed his shoulder where my bite mark was. "There's a lot of things you keep to yourself, Neji."

"That's true."

"And I thought I knew everything about you…" I rested my chin on my hand.

"Mhm…" He kissed my lips and pushed me onto the bed.

"You're not healed yet…" I mumbled to him.

"I don't care."

"You could get hurt.."

"That's what you think."

"Do you really want to make me yours?"

"Yes." He kissed my lips again.

"Okay." I shut my eyes and kissed him back.

-Neji's POV-

Was this what I wanted? At first… all I really wanted was her love… but now… her love is just not satisfying enough.

I wanted more. I needed more.

Not only her love, and her heart… but her body, and soul. I wanted it to be mine alone. Not Daisuke's… Not anyone else's…

-Tenten's POV-

Different. I felt completely different… it felt completely different.

-The Next Morning-

"Wake up…"

"No."

"Wake up!"

"No."

"Help me! Daisuke's-" He shot up from the bed and looked around.

"Where?!"

"Just kidding."

"You…" He brought my head close and kissed my forehead.

Last night was wild… probably something I would never want to forget. That was… until the after effects started.

"Neji… I think I was acting a little weird yesterday. I was like, having dreams of your parents death, and I just saw blood all over the room." He nodded.

"Yeah. I read your mind. Weird that you saw something like that." He laid down on his back. "Yesterday… it was your first time, right?" He asked quietly. I turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Yesterday was your first time… right?" He asked again, just a little louder.

"Y-Yeah." Images flew into my head as my face turned a red color. "I'm… going to… get something to eat." I threw on one of Neji's long t shirts and headed for the door when my head started to pound. My stomach felt like it was doing somersaults as I launched for the bathroom. Neji threw on a pair of shorts and sprinted in.

"Are you alright?!"

"I vomited…. That's not a good sign." I flushed the toilet and turned to Neji. He was silent.

"Let's get you to the hospital."

"No way!" I shouted at him.

"This isn't up for discussion. You could be sick. And it could be all my fault." Neji mumbled as he looked away.

"No. I don't think so. It always happens when I drink blood. I'm just not used to it yet. Though, I'm craving for some right now- Not your blood!" I shouted at him as he pointed to his neck.

"Mhm." He took my hand and walked me out of the bathroom and down the stairs.

"Neji? Why did I see… your memories?" I asked him. He held my hand tighter as we climbed down the long staircases.

"I'm not sure." He managed out as he averted his glance from me. "It's strange."

"I know. That's why I'm wondering… what triggered the memory. Oh- Maybe it was your reunion with Daisuke…"

"That would trigger my memories… but how could you see it?"

"… Maybe that's my power." Neji didn't move but I kept pulling him. "To see other people's dreams or something. To know about their past when I meet them."

"That's a ridiculous power." Neji muttered.

"Just saying." He pressed his palms to my cheeks.

"Don't. I don't want you to have power, I won't tolerate it."

"What do you mean?" I asked him. He pressed his bare chest to mine.

"I don't ever want to see you fighting. Or using your powers or whatever-"

"I never said I would fight." I mumbled back to him and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. "Why would I need to fight if I have you by my side?" I smiled at him as he smirked smugly.

"True."

"I need you to answer this question truthfully." He nodded. "No more 'Hn' or 'Mhm' or changing the topic. I want to know." I glared at Neji's beautiful eyes. "Why… Why in the world would Daisuke call you a monster?"

"…"

"What did you do to him in your battle for the heir to make him say that to you?"

"You don't want to know." He glared at me coldly.

"I do! I really do!"

"You wouldn't love me anymore. You would hate me, scowl at me, and leave me."

"I would never."

"…."

"You said you'd tell me."

"Tell you what happened? Or why I'm a monster in Daisuke's eyes?"

"Both."

"It's.. going to take some time to explain."

"We've got all the time in the world." I sat down on the staircase as he sat next to me, placing his hands on his lap.

"Promise you won't leave? No matter how violent it is?" I took his hand in mine and gave it a light squeeze.

"I promise."

Blahhhh...

QUESTION: How long should this fanfic take? With the way i'm writing it now... it's going to be a lot more than 23 chapters i think... I just want to see what you guys think.

okay, options:

1. The whole next chapter is about Neji telling Tenten about his relationship with his brother and how he became the monster.

2. Neji makes up a story, and Tenten gets angry at him and knows it's not the truth. She finds out her powers.

3. Before Neji could say much, Sasuke runs in with Sakura to apologize to her. Tenten doesn't accept it, and her hatred for Sasuke grows stronger.

wow. intense options. haha. okay, thanks for reading. review pleasseee.
