Autumn

Chapter 13

The autumn leaves were slowly drifting from the heavy tree branches in the quiet side of the village. Fall is nearing its end, very solemn, serene and calm transition of the bright orange hue of the sky to grayish blue of the clouds. I was on Neji's back meditating with the cold crisp air and he's pushing up and down on his arms in our earth damp training ground. He told me to sit on his back earlier while he do a 1000 pushups and that I should try to concentrate on the surroundings. But as I drift into the meditation, I can't help but feel the constant moving of his back muscles under me. I remember how it moved on my palms when he trusts his cock in me. Ohh... That rhythm…

"I know... you're... not... meditating... at all..." Neji said in between his pushups. I looked down at his unclothed top and yes, the muscles were all bulging at his push.

"You can't accuse me of such thing. I am clearly and efficiently concentrating." I said defending myself and taking all my strength and effort not to trace my fingers to the delicious lines.

"Then stop wiggling your ass, cute dumb." he said as he push on his sides making me lift off his back and stand on the damp earth.

"I'm not wiggling my ass." I pouted knowing I am hiding a blush.

"Given that we're here at the training ground, Lee and Gai-sensei might see us so let's forget about sex for now, huh?" he said and I know I am now a shade of red but still I defended myself.

"I am not thinking about sex." I said and he smiled me that very boyish grin. I know it's really hard to concentrate when Neji is really near and he can't blame me for that.

"Yeah?" he said standing up, getting a white hanky inside his trousers' pocket and wiping his dirty hands. "You're not thinkin' of anything dirty while you sit on my back?" he said while advancing to where I stood now. I just looked at him innocently.

"No." I murmured. He put his big palm over the small of my back and spread it there. I moaned instantly when he pulled me to his hot lean strong body.

"Yeah?" he asked again as he lean and put his lips to mine.

"Nmmnn…" I moaned and pressing more to his body. I want to feel him more. I can't get enough of his scent, his love. I want mo-

"Hey, hey guys get a room!" said a familiar voice that makes me pushed Neji really hard away from me.

"Shit." he muttered under his breath and the identical green partners emerged from the woods.

"My youthful students! It's a joy to see you two here doing some 'intensive' training." Gai-sensei said emphasizing the word 'intensive' and the other green pea guy snickered. It's embarrassing but I am more annoyed at them than to feel ashamed being caught kissing.

"We didn't know that we have a joint training today." I said and I saw Lee do some very exaggerated act of going to cry.

"When did we lose the freedom to go here at OUR training ground, Ten-chan?!" he said. I never want to punch a friend more.

"Don't worry. We'll be going on soon, right Lee?"

"Yes, Gai-sensei! We need to do some walking around the village in our hands and with blind folds." the junior version said a little much more enthusiastic.

"But before that we need to take Neji with us." What the-

"I will definitely not walk on my hands." I heard my cool boyfriend said behind me.

"You will not. I just need you to see something." Gai-sensei said seriously.

"And you don't want me on this? What the fuck?!" I told them.

"Calm down flower. This is boys talk. No girls allowed." Lee said and I glared at him but then Neji put his arms on my shoulders and lean to whisper to my ears.

"See you later, baby. Go to Ino for now and ask about that boy you're talking about." I smiled remembering our talk about Akihito yesterday. But there's a little piece that is bugging my mind, something that is kept from me, but I set it aside. It's just my guts any way.

"Be home early." I said and he moved to kiss my forehead and I let him. "I love you." I whispered and he smiled sincerely at me then the three of them were gone. I don't want to think about what they would talk about but the fact that I was kept in the dark, I know this somewhat involves me.

"Akihito?" asked Ino as I leaned on the counter of their flower shop. She's putting down some pretty red azaleas in a big decorated basket.

"Yes. He's blonde like the shade of yours, just a little more yellowish." I told her. She took off her white gloves and tilted her head to the ceiling. She's thinking? What the..? How many blondes did she slept with in the past few days? "Ino, honestly, you can't remember?" I said shaking my head at her conquest. What is happening to her, having sex with every hot boy in Konoha. "He has this beautiful red ruby eyes." then she looked at me with gleaming eyes. She remembered.

"I remembered."

"I know."

"Aki... How could I forget such a very delicious lover? Great stamina and those shiny red eyes… Oh my..." she said with so much enthusiasm. "So what about him?" she asked grinning her evil grin to me and lifting her brows knowingly. "You plan on cheating?" she said a little bit giddy.

"No. He's some kind of an acquaintance who did us some cool favor, so I just wanna thank him." I said to her and I thought of that ruby eyed boy agreeing with Ino to have some, what, one night stand? I didn't know he's into those things. Well, he's young and... yeah, he's a boy.

"Ohh... That's bad, as far as I can remember, he'd have left the country. Because if not, he'll be coming back to me again." she smiled that beautiful smile to me. Ino is really a beautiful lady. So of course, Akihito will never say no if this pretty blonde offered him a pussy.

"It's alright. I was just trying to get a hold on him. He might not even remember my plain face." I told her and she snorted.

"I don't have ugly friends. Your ass is cute enough Ten-chan. I can't believe that even you having a Hyuuga that hot can be so insecure." she said, rearranging the little yellow tulips. "Even my ex-dog-boyfriend wanted a piece of your ass when we were kids." that ex-dog is Kiba.

"That's not true." I told her and noting that she had her brows furrowed at me.

"That is so true. Kiba has a crush on you before we were group into three's, you were his first crush. But then he knows you're attracted to the Hyuuga and when he was teamed with Hinata and Shino, he got some hots for Hinata." Really? I didn't know that at all. And I also didn't know if this blonde bitch is saying the truth. "He told me those that time at the beach." and her expression became so melancholy, very easy to read, all it takes was those blue pale eyes. I want to reach out to her but that is not at all possible with some metal counter in between us and of course, Ino being Ino, she is not allowing anyone to have her sweet little glass of facade to be penetrated, even with us friends. We tried but she always dodged. And also, maybe that's why she's having herself being bitched by hundreds of boys in towns.

"Do you still love him?" I asked the blonde and that sadness exited her eyes. All aware now, that I was seeing through her.

"Of course not. I'm not some fuckin' idiot who'll not move on with some kind of a nosy, smelly dog like him." she said that laughing and without her laugh reaching her eyes.

"You do still-"

"Speaking of friends Ten-chan." she interrupted me with a thud of a vase that she was putting above the counter and that means the subject was dropped. "Did you know? Hinata-chan had a bump." I don't know what confused me the most, the choice of her words or the fact that I didn't understand her at all or the truth that she dodge the Kiba topic again.

"What?" well, that caught my attention pretty well. Not to mention the expert transition of a changed-topic exit.

"She had it. She got a bump."

"From what? Did she bump her head on the ground or something?" then she sighed.

"How can we be friends now that we can't understand each other at all." she said looking a little bit over hurt.

"The question is how we can be friends even if we don't understand each other at all. By the way, what happen to Hinata?" I asked changing the crazy subject again.

"Well, if you don't really understand me, just go to the hospital right now. I think Hinata was there being check-up by Sakura." why can't she just tell me about this 'bump'?

"Okay. Thanks a lot Ino-chan." I said waving at her and she waved me off without looking up from the flowers that she's arranging right now.
"Kay, see you later."

I was curious about this bump of Hinata's that why I headed to where the hospital is without further hesitation. Was she hit by a ball or something? As far as I know, she did not accept or given any missions this past few days after the Shikamaru issue so I was having some trouble thinking of what trouble that Hyuuga girl came into. But as I walked to the busy streets of Konoha, I wonder where my Hyuuga boyfriend went off. He might not want to be disturbed but it's almost afternoon and I didn't bother to take lunch coz I was thinking that he might want to eat with me. But then again, it's almost afternoon, so before I go to the hospital, I went to some small takoyaki shop near the corner. I've eaten there. Not as good as Touru-san's but when you're hungry and it's near, you'll dig in. But no one can defeat Touru-san's takoyaki and maybe that's why I named my cat Toru from Touru-san.

I was nearing the small food place, when the short curtain rise up and I saw my beautiful Hyuuga boyfriend exiting the takoyaki restaurant.

"Neji?" even if his been with me this past two years, I'm still being stunned by his manly features.

"Baby." he said as if he was never surprised to see. It's like he's already expecting me. I looked at his hand and he's holding a plastic bag of two squared box. That's two dozens of takoyaki. "Thinkin' you're hungry." he said with his husky and sexy voice, striding slowly towards me. At the corner of my eye, I saw some teenage girls squealing at the sight of my beautiful Hyuuga. No one can miss such a muscular, lean and tall form. Not to mention his pretty face, and those eyes...

"I was just about to go home." then when the gap between us closed, he leaned in and kissed my lips. Neji is my boyfriend for two years now. But still, with the cold winter wind, his soft warm kiss can make my toes curl like crazy. And so again, I saw the girls at the corner of my eyes, whispering at each other. That's fine. What's better is that the man they're lusting upon is mine.
"I was about to have lunch at four in the afternoon. Alone." I told him, smiling and putting both my hands inside his light blue kimono jacket.
"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you." then he kissed me again.

Instead of us going home, we went to our secret place. It was just so beautiful at this time. Neji remembering it made my insides warm. I love him. And I love that place.

When we reach our destination, I was instantly awed at the beautiful sparkling river. The slightly damp ground is covered with some early snow. It was just some chapped small ice but it was as beautiful. When I was a kid, I thought that waterfalls also freeze when winter comes, but as I was looking at it right now, the icicles at the top were like crystal ices and made the falls looked elegant as it made the sparkling water fall. Even if the winter is just starting the top is somewhat covered with ice. I bet it was as cold.

"I know how Shikamaru knew about Temari." the Hyuuga said intertwining his fingers in mine. Then I turned to him and pressed my front to his.

"How?" I asked looking at him and I struggled to make my heart beat at a normal rate. But it's so hard to do that when you're looking at this man.
"A courier came about the Suna's report on the said mission for Tsunade-sama. But him, being one of the Sannins means he had to check the letter." Neji said. And he leaned in to give me a kiss because I was pouting my lips at him like a stupid kid.

"Then he set off without anyone knowing. Stupid." it's been almost 3 weeks since the Shikamaru-the-moron-incident and Temari and Kankuro was transfered to the Konoha hospital facilities with Sakura being their personal nurse. We have been visiting them once in a while but Shikamaru almost sleep in the same white walls every day.

"He sure was stupid but I will do the same for you." he said and he smirked at me when he felt my heart skipped a beat near his stomach. I just smiled softly at him.

"You'll risk everything?" I asked inserting both of my hands inside his yukata and feeling his sweet, sweet warmth.

"I'll risk everything for you." then he leaned in and kissed my lips. Ohh…That sweet sweet lips. Everything is sweet about him. And he's my everything. I don't know what to do with my life without him. "At first, I thought it was so selfish of him, I mean, being like that. Not thinking of his family, his friends, of Konoha. But when you set off to get him, I can't get my insides steady. It's all churning in a really bad way and I've wanted to follow you." he kissed the tips my nose and touched his cheeks to mine. "Then I realized, I'll do the same thing. I'll do the same stupid thing." Our cheeks were touching, I can't see his expression, but when he touched his lips to my neck, it's smiling.

"Neji, I'll suck you here." I said and instantly he tensed and looked at me, holding my shoulders. He's shocked. Shocked? It's not like I didn't sucked him before. But not in-

"Here?"

"Yeah."

"In public?" I sighed at all his questions.

"It's not public. This is our place. No one's here. It's as much as our room." I begin to trail my index finger to his clothed abs, making it flex under my touched. He cupped my breast then start kissing me. His tongue grazing my upper lip but before I could open my mouth he moved away from me.

"Let's go home." Neji said, moving to take my hand and his expression unreadable. Why is he like that all of a sudden? It's not like we never do it outside. We've once done it at the back of an old temple, while waiting for the fireworks. And our trip to the beach where we go out that night because he can't bear to see Hinata and Naruto doin' some obscene things. And so I was puzzled at his change of attitude. "When I'm havin' sex with you, I'm having sex with you. The only thing in my mind is you. You and your pleasure. Your gasps, moans, screams, the way your mouth form an 'O' with your cute front teeth showing a little. I just focus on how you suppress your mouth from screaming so hard by biting your lips and that eyes. Damn that eyes Tenten it made me go wild with ecstasy." he's saying this while he had my hand in his and dragging me out of our favorite place. "When you close them tightly which when you feel me hitting your womb. Oh baby," then he carry me like a rucksack on his strong shoulders like I was not heavy at all. And of course I gasped at the sudden action. Maybe I was also taken aback by his words. "You just didn't know that when you open your eyes and you look at me, that was my trigger, always, but if you're not close yet, I'll control myself painfully and all I can think during sex is you." Wait why is he even saying this now? "Why am saying this now?" Eeh? Does his byakugan the mind too? Wow, that's new. I kept quiet, not comfortable in my position but Neji is as fast as lightning. We'll be at home in no time. "I'm saying this because, there might be a spy. And because all I can think during sex is you, doing it in public will making us vulnerable. We might have done it in the past, but not now. Not now that I know that there might be an enemy lingering in the shadows." hmm... he's right. Neji's always right. My house is always protected by an unseen chakra barrier. It was set up by the Third Hokage when the time he knew that I want to live alone at that house. No one can sneak up on me without me noticing. It was also impenetrable when it comes to byakugan that's why Neji always wants to be in there. He actually lives there. Just going to Hyuuga household to report to his uncle and do his duty blah blah blah. And well, speaking of the devil, we arrived at my lovely old home with such great speed my buns were now a disheveled mess. Neji brought me to my feet and kiss me on the lips, like a little touch that we were used to then he looked at me. I was flushed with the early winter cold and somewhat, looking at Neji's surprised gaze, well, I didn't know what he saw that surprised him but at that time, with this beautiful Hyuuga, I know that I was so in love with him.

"Why are you beautiful?" he whispered like a prayer and smiled sincerely at me. "I'll die Tenten. I'll really die if you leave me now. You don't know how much I need you." he said this whispering everything to me while I know deep deep deep, so deep in my heart, that I'll also die without him. He's my strength and the reason I live. He's my everything.

Then with the sweep of the cold winter wind, my hair untangling from the elastic hair bands, it covered my eyes, but it didn't escaped my ninja gaze, Neji... His silky brown hair, kept short, that milky purple hues, that hard, cold gaze that became so soft and loving when looking at me... Neji's eyes, at that time, while looking at me, thinking with my hair swept on my face, I can't see his eyes, his eyes, in that lingering cold moment... was full of pain.

It was just a flash, a second. But I saw it and after that he kissed me by the hair, then on my forehead, my nose, my mouth. And when he opened his eyes, he frowned when he saw my big eyes looking at him weird.

"Tenten? What's wrong?" he asked. What's wrong? I mirrored his words in my mind. Maybe hearing the words itself wrong. Or maybe what I saw in his eyes was nothing. Maybe I just read him wrong. That so vulnerable pain in his eyes, I couldn't even think where it came from.

"Nothing..." I said and he looked at me questioningly. Then, I smiled, don't want him to worry, I wrapped my arms around his neck, tiptoeing because of his big form. "Just take me inside. It's cold out here."

I lay at the couch not hearing the movie, looking at the ceiling while waiting for Neji to prepare and reheat our cold dumplings. Despite not eating lunch and my stomach protesting earlier, by miracle, I'm not hungry any more. I sighed, throwing myself in a sitting position. I know I shouldn't have over think things. That was nothing. Nothing? Well, he didn't tell me where did he go earlier and what did they talk about. And that glimpse of pain in his eyes. I sighed again. He's hiding something. But I don't want to stick my nose on something I shouldn't. No nagging, no prying Tenten.

I rubbed my eyes, feeling so tired. I reached to my back to unhook my bra but I felt strong grip on my wrists. Neji raised my blouse and do the business for me. When I turned my head to him, his eyes soft and loving, he kissed me sweetly on the lips. But that was just a short kiss, he then arranged the books and the scrolls out of the center table, then gone back to the kitchen to get our dinner. The moment I smelled the takoyaki, I was so famished and all of my hunger returned to me.

"I'm sure you are hungry." he said, settling a cup of tea and beef misono with the takoyaki.

"Did you also order the beef?"
"No. It was from the household." Yes. He sometimes brought food from the Hyuuga household, without holding back.

"I'm sure that's delicious." I said while completely removing my cream colored bra. It was a new one. Well, lately I was unbelievably growing without knowing why that's why I've already bought some three to five pairs of new underwear.

When I settled the bra at the sofa's arm, I saw Neji eyeing my big growing girls. I grinned at him when he snapped out of his trance and his eyes moving to my face.

"Let's eat first okay? I'll give you all the time later to look at them." I said and he grinned at me devilishly. Ohh. He's beautiful when he playfully grin at me. I kissed his broad shoulder when he sat beside me then we ate silently with the corny dramatic movie playing in our television.

"Oh. Baby, Ino told me that Hinata got a bump." I said this while Neji is getting a takoyaki from the plate and leaning to the small center table. I saw the side of his jaw clenched and his upper body tense. "But don't know what she meant by 'bump'. She told me that I should just visit Hinata at the hospital, so I thought that she should have bumped her head on something." I said and he looked at me funny, his Hyuuga eyes big with amusement. "I was supposed to go to the hospital when I saw you earlier. I was tired and hungry so I thought maybe I go tomorrow. I'll also check how Temari-chan was doin'." I ate the last tasty takoyaki on my bowl and asked Neji for another.

"Hinata was nauseous earlier and everybody in the household panicked, so they took her to the hospital." So she did bump her head?

"How did you know?" is what I asked.

"She told me." he said pouring some tea to our mugs, then giving me mine as he sipped on his. The protagonist on the TV is shouting some obscene words to her partner.

"So what happened to her? Did she fell or something?" I asked and he sighed like he's so sorry that was so stupid.

"She's pregnant Tenten. That's what Ino means with 'bump'." Eeh? Wait. Pregnant? I don't know what surprised me more, the fact that Hinata got pregnant or Ino can make some stupid metaphor that I can't understand.

"Since when?" I asked Neji. I was so happy for her I can't hide the wide smile on my face. So Naruto's nasty, icky sperm made its way finally into Hinata's innocent egg and I know that somewhat Neji doesn't like that news.

"She just found out this morning. But she was throwing up and feeling sick for a week now. It was just today that it cause some panic." I was either shock or happy but I know that this was really bothering Neji. I saw it in his eyes. I mean I know that somewhat he dislike Naruto being with his precious cousin but his acting all weird and my instincts are saying something is really wrong. But I don't ask, I don't pry, but I do asked what's wrong but he said that everything is fine and so I ask no more.

"Neji... Can you... slow down a bit?" I touched Neji's navel and trace the light trail of brown hair there while he rides me like a crazy mad man. "You're using your chakra... too much..." I put my hands in my mouth to prevent screaming my fifth orgasm or else my voice will be hoarse tomorrow. I was never a screamer to begin with. I was never like Ino or Sakura, screaming their lungs out then not getting hoarse. The first time that I was so hoarse, my throat really ache like crazy and when I talked, my voice sounds funny and deep, my two crazy friends already guess why I was like that and there's nothing I could do but blush. That's why I learned the technique that when I scream, it would be just two to three times, which sometimes impossible with Neji's incredible stamina that would never ever stop unless I was limp like a vegetable and satisfied as shit.

"Tenten..." I drifted back into the present with my body twitching in spasms and Neji's still bigger hard cock is still in me. He did not come and the way he's twitching in me says he's close but that won't soften him at the mean time. "Tenten... Do you love me?" He asked with those sincere questioning eyes. Why is he asking that all of a sudden? Of course…

"Of course I love you." I whispered to him, unable to grasp what's this bugging feeling that I had inside. I think it's purely related to that slight look of pain in his eyes. I circled my arms around his neck, kissing his forehead, his eyes, nose, his cheeks and those luscious lips of him. How can I not love him? "Move baby..." I told him. He shifted low on my backside, tilting me to the side. I closed my eyes when he withdrew himself but not completely, then he thrust inside so hard, I forgot not to scream. I was shocked by his sudden orgasm, his big hard cock twitching inside me like crazy, his hot thick fluid hitting my womb and his mouth open at my cheeks, silent groans being drowned by his hot breath. I was not seized by my own orgasm again, but I was there. Being so wet and hot, my eyes tingling with tears, I know I was close. Not to mention I just climaxed a few moments ago. And so when Neji started moving again, I told him to get my long huggy pillow. He pulled it at his back and gave it to me, knowing that in this position, I need it. I squeezed it tight between my thighs, letting my swollen clit touched the fabric, then wrapping my arms around the almost human seized pillow. I braced myself, for Neji, waiting for me to finish this all, put his lips to my ears and kissed that sensitive lobe.

"You ready?" He said. I just nodded and add some moans because he started to push himself again inside of me.

Ohh...

In this position he's so big and hard and so when I heard him hissed and telling me that I'm so tight, I adjusted my butt a little bit higher, pressing myself more to the pillow. That's when he slide in more in me, making the head of his swollen cock hit my womb. Oh my... Oh my... I can't control my moans again as he gain speed that made my hips grinding so hard to the pillow, my clit throbbed in the process. Oh no... Not another... And that erotic noise of wet sliding my upper right thigh, his cream inside me, swirling like crazy hot warm lava in my vagina.

"Neji... baby..." and he went frantic with his hands cupping my left butt cheek and spreading it with his thumb, making me bite the pillow to prevent loud sounds from my mouth but just small pleasures of whimpers and moans that I can't really control. I love him and I love him so so much.

The moon. Is there a moon tonight?

"Yes baby, there's moon tonight." I cuddled more closely to the warm body beside me, pressing my cheeks to his chest.

You smell good. You make me feel good.

"Are you asleep?"

Am I?

I felt a kiss in one of my closed eyes, then to the other.

"You're so cute. Sleep talking like that."

Neji.

"Nyeji?" a soft chuckle.

I love you.

"What? I yaab nyuu?" another chuckle. I love the sound of it. I want to see him laugh. But I was so tired, I can't open my eyes. I just... I...

"I'm sorry baby, but I promise... I promise, I'll do anything for you."

What? What are you talking about? Is it the moon again? I can't see it. But it was there, I can saw the blue light from the windows, with our light blue curtains swaying.

Eh? Am I not asleep? Why am I seeing my room? What was Neji saying again? Something about autumn?

I'm sorry?

I promise?

Wait.

"Even if I had to do it... I will... Because I love you so much. I love you... I love you..."

Then when I opened my eyes, the winter sunlight is penetrating my room. It was warm and cozy. Even if Neji wasn't in my bed, I felt warm at the heart. I don't know why. And so when I sat up, and looked at the window, there he was. The man I love, looking so beautiful and sexy, sitting at my window sill, sipping hot coffee, his gaze pointing outside but then when he noticed me moved, his manly features and those never ending milky eyes, turned to look at me.

"Good morning..." he said and again I was showered with loving warmth that I can't really put into words.

A/N: That's it. For now. There's more to come and I hope that I could make the story more interesting. Please don't forget to review. Thank you guys. :)
