Sasuke landed right inside the hospital searching for his pink haired friend/teammate.

"SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled as soon as he spotted her.

Sakura immediately ran towards him and asked "What happened to her?!"

"I'll explain later."

"Hai." Sakura said while yelling for other medical nins and a stretcher.

Sasuke gently put Tenten on the stretcher and watched her be carried away with Sakura following.

He cussed under his breath and sat in a chair in the waiting room waiting for Lee and Gai-sensei to come.

10 minutes later they both came running through the door straight to the main desk crying waterfalls.

"WHERE IS OUR BEAUTIFUL YOUTHFAL FLOWER AT?!?!?!?!" Gai-sensei yelled almost turning everyone deaf.

The shocked nurse with her hair blown back from Gai-sensei's voice managed to say, "I'm sorry sir but I don't know who you are talking about."

"TENTEN! WHERE IS TENTEN AT?!?!" Lee yelled making a little girl cry. "BROWN HAIR, TWO BUNS, BROWN EYES, PINK TANK TOP WITH GREEN CAPRI"S!"

"Oh, the girl that was just carried away on a stretcher ten minutes ago…you are prohibited to see her during surgery." The nurse said.

Gai-sensei suddenly became serious as did Lee.

"Did anyone bring her in?" Gai-sensei calmly asked.

"Hai. That young man over there." The nurse said calmly while pointing to Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke. Gai-sensei thought while glancing at him from the corner of his eye. Lee already walked off towards Sasuke while Gai-sensei tortured the nurse with questions about Tenten.

Sasuke stood up watching Lee walk towards him. Lee stopped about three feet away.

"Uchiha Sasuke. I heard Tenten was strongly hurt. What had happened?" Lee asked serious as serious could be. Which was pretty serious because serious is serious.

Sasuke glared into his eyes as Lee glared back.

"It's not up to me to decide if I should tell you or not." Sasuke said coolly.

"But you will have to tell the medical nins for a report."

"Then they will wait until Tenten awakes."

Sasuke left Lee silent. Lee then dropped his eyes with sadness to the floor.

"If you really want to know you should ask your other teammate to explain what happened to you. "

"You mean Neji did this?" Lee asked lifting his eyes up to Sasuke again.

"I mean it's his choice to tell you what had happened or not."

"I see." Lee said sadly. "Then I shall wait to hear the news if Tenten is okay or not."

Lee sat in the chair next to Sasuke's while Sasuke sat back in his own chair after a couple of seconds.

Gai-sensei soon sat in a chair next to Lee.

They all sat in silence for hours. And hours. And Hours. And hours. And minutes. And seconds. And milliseconds.

They occasionally got up and walked around a bit but after six hours of waiting Sakura and Tsunade came out. Sasuke, Lee, and Gai-sensei all stood up when the two approached.

"How is she?" Gai- sensei was the first to ask.

"Tenten's chakra points were damaged though not that bad, but she's still in absolutely no condition to train yet or attend to a mission for now. In a couple of weeks she will be able to start training again slowly building her strength back up. A couple more weeks she will be able to attend D-ranked missions building her way up to attend missions with you again, Gai." Tsunade explained.

"Understood." Gai-sensei said.

"But if you wouldn't mind me asking, why did Neji do this?" Tsunade asked Sasuke.

So it was Neji…Lee thought.

"Neji?" asked Gai-sensei.

"Hai. Only the Hyuuga clan has the capability to damage almost all 64 chakra points." Tsunade explained again.

Everyone turned their attention to Sasuke as he smirked.

"I believe I have no business on telling what had happened or not. You can ask Tenten when she awakes or even the Hyuuga himself." Sasuke said.

"I see." Tsunade said before turning her attention back to Gai-sensei. "But in other words Tenten will be just fine."

"Arigato." Gai-sensei thanked her before she turned and walked away.

"Lee. I have a couple of errands to run. I will be back when Tenten wakes up.

"Hai. Understood." And with that Gai-sensei poofed out of sight.

"Sakura-chan, when will we be able to see her?" Lee asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon." Sakura responded.

"Arigato. Good night."

"Good night Lee."

Lee walked out of the hospital leaving Sakura and Sasuke together.

"I'll pick you up for dinner in an hour." Sasuke said leaning into Sakura with his hands in his pockets giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Okay." Sakura smiled sweetly and then returned to her work as Sasuke went to his own apartment.

At the Hyuuga mansion:

Neji lied on the bed staring up at the ceiling.

Damn. How could I do that to her? Hai. Hiashi made pissed me off. And Tenten had to pay for my actions. I am a fool. I will say my apologies to her tomorrow one way or another. I broke clan rules and brought shame upon myself. How could I be so stupid? Neji thought to himself. He punched the wall beside him in frustration and fell asleep.

At the ramen shop:

Sasuke and Sakura sat in a booth across from each other.

"I wonder if Tenten will be okay…don't just physically but mentally too. I mean how will she react to Neji? She's my best friend how could I not worry? And don't say 'She'll be just fine' because you know just as well as I do that you worry about her too." Sakura said anxiously.

Sasuke thought about it for a moment but after a couple of long seconds he finally said, "ya, your right. I do worry about her. I don't worry about really anything but she is a really good close friend." What? Sasuke with emotions? He's worried? It's a dream come true…for Sakura at least. She's the one who warmed him up. His heart. Warmed his heart up so don't even think nasty.

Sasuke, Sakura, Tenten, (and Naruto) had become pretty much best friends. Well except for the fact that Sakura and Sasuke were now boyfriend and girlfriend. Naruto and Tenten aren't really as close though. It was a kind of thing where Sasuke saved Tenten's lives a couple of times, she saved him, Sakura saved them both, they both saved Sakura, and Naruto saved them all.

Next day:

It was eight in the morning when Tenten started to wake up. All she saw was a blur so far but after readjusting her eyes to the light and the white walls, sheets, and floor, she sat up carefully but was still in pain.

"I'm in…the hospital?" she asked herself.

"Hai." A deep voice responded.

Tenten turned her head to the left to see who was there.

"Oh Shikamaru, I didn't know you were here." Tenten said.

"Hai, I only heard that Neji had messed up your chakra points but that's all."

"Oh…" Neji…Tenten looked down at the bed she sat on sadly.

Shikamaru walked over to her bed and sat on the end of it.

"Do you mind telling me what happened?" he asked softly.

"Neji…Neji and I started the day off like every other day. We started sparring with each other. But that day…he was pissed. I thought it was Hiashi maybe…but I don't know. He started using gentle fist. I avoided it as much as I could but when he used the Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou jutsu I couldn't do anything at all. I tried telling him to stop but he didn't listen. He continued fastening his paste at one point until he stopped abruptly. I felt myself hit the ground but then I blacked out." Tenten explained.

"Hmmm, he shouldn't be taking his anger out on his own teammate." Shikamaru started.

"It's fine though. Neji has a hard life. These days will happen now and then." Tenten said with a smile.

"It's still no excuse for taking his anger problems on you. He could found out another way Tenten. You can't always defend him. Not this time." Shikamaru stated and stood up.

"I'll be back soon. I'm going to get Sakura."

"Okay"

"In the mean time you should lie back down and get some more rest."

"Hai"

Shikamaru then left to retrieve Sakura.
