"Neji… Neji?" He slowly opened his eyes. He looked up to see Tenten's eyes looking down at him.

"What…" He mumbled.

"Are you okay?" She asked. Neji rolled his eyes and looked away from her. A doctor walked in. "Neji?"

"Ms. Shiho. Is he okay?" The doctor asked. She looked at him.

"Mr. Emo-kinz?" She called him. Neji shot a glare at her.

"I'm not emo." He growled. She smiled at the doctor.

"He's just fine." The doctor nodded and walked away. "Neji… you had me so worried." She took his hand and intertwined her fingers with his. He blushed.

"Wh-What?" He stuttered.

"I was worried." She had a tear slide down as she rubbed his hand against her cheek. "I thought you were going to die. Your ribs… you need to let them heal. So you have to stay here for a week or so.."

"Fine." He mumbled. She looked away.

"It's my fault, right?" Tenten smiled gently. "It's… all my fault that you're here. Cause Sasuke didn't want to give up on me. Because I-"

"It's not." Neji muttered out. Tenten dropped his hand back to his side. She stood.

"I uh, should go now. I have a class to teach soon…" She whispered. Neji grabbed her wrist and pulled her down on the bed. She on top of him. "N-Neji!" She blushed.

"For a teacher, you shouldn't stutter…" He smirked. Tenten couldn't get up, because her arms were being grabbed by Neji's strong grip.

"What?" Neji blinked a couple times.

"Why are you crying?" He brought one of his hands and wiped away a tear. "It's not fit for a teacher to cry. But then again, you're my age too, so I guess it's alright…" He whispered.

"I've caused you so much trouble." Tenten whispered to him. Neji shook his head.

"Nonsense. To tell you the truth, I-"

"I can't stay away from you. No matter how much it hurts me to think that you're… getting injured because of me, I just can't distance myself from you. Neji, I.. don't think I like you. I think I… I think I love you." She whispered to Neji. Neji's eyes widened. "I love you, Neji… it's no the same feeling I had for Sasuke. I know it's love, because when I think of you, my face heats up. When I talk to you, I can't find words to say. When I see you, my focus is just on you. Just looking at you, Neji, a smile comes up." She gently smiled. "That's why.. I love you."

-Neji's POV-

"…" I don't… know what to say. I watched her as she got off me. I let go of her arm and stared at her back.

"Um. Do you love me back? Or are we just hanging out as friends…" She asked. She grabbed her hand from trembling. I sat up from the bed and felt a cold blast of wind hit me. I looked at myself. All I was in was a pair of black shorts. No shirt. Hah. No wonder. I stood and slowly walked to her.

"Tenten." I whispered her name. She shivered and turned at me.

"What are you doing outta bed, Ne-" She looked at me chest and blushed. I smirked a bit. She turned away quickly.

6 pack. 6 pack. Oh my.. She thought. I wrapped my arms around her waist and leaned on her neck. "N-Neji? Wh-What are you doing?!" She almost shrieked of embarrassment.

"Tenten. I haven't told you how I felt about you yet." I whispered. She tried to walk forwards but I spun her around so that my arms were snaked around her waist as her body was snug tight against mine.

"N-Neji." She blushed as her hands landed on my bare torso.

"Tenten. No need to be embarrassed…" I whispered.

"Why…" She asked. "It's sort of weird…"

"Considering that you're the teacher. Very weird." I laughed softly. "I'm just trying to tell you.. That I love you too."

-Tenten's POV-

"What?" I asked.

"I uh, love you." Neji whispered. My head was leaning against his well built chest. I heard the thumping of his heart. It was so rapid, it was like in sync with mine. Our heart beat fast as one. "Tenten. Say something…" He whispered. I pulled away slowly and looked up at him.

"You really love me?" I asked. He nodded.

"I do." He whispered.

"…" I smiled at him. "That… makes me so happy…" I hugged him leaning on his chest, listening to the happy beatings of his heart. "Neji… I apologize for what happened with Sasuke."

"It's fine." He whispered. "Tenten. There's… something I want to do…" I blushed and looked up at him.

"What is it?" I asked him. He leaned his face down towards mine. "Neji…" I whispered his name just before our lips touched. It wasn't my first kiss unfortunately. Nor was it Neji's… He pulled away immediately though. "What's… wrong?" I asked him. He stared at me, his eyes cold as ever.

"Kari." My hair covered my eye.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. He brought his hand and brushed my hair behind my ears. He slowly stroked my cheek. "I don't want you to be reminded of her…" I took his hand from my face gently. He shook his head.

"It's fine, Tenten. You should go to school though. You're going to miss all your classes." He leaned forwards and kissed me again. "O-Okay…" I whispered. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Love you…" I smiled.

"Yeah." He mumbled as he smirked. "I love you too…" He kissed my forehead before he crushed his lips on mine again.

-School-

"Hi everyone." I smiled. Shikamaru, Kiba, and Naruto looked up.

"Ms. Shiho!!" I turned around as Shizune ran in.

"Hello." I smiled at her.

"You have to take Ino and Sakura back." I blinked and nodded.

"Alright."

"I shall bring them in soon."

"Great!" Not. I sighed and put my bag on the floor and sat in my chair. "Sorry I was late, guys…"

"What happened?" Shikamaru asked.

"Ah, somethings…" I whispered.

"H-Hey! Where's Neji?" Naruto stood and looked around. "He never misses school!" I looked down.

"Oh shut up, Naruto!"

"H-Hey…" Naruto glared at Kiba.

"Now now, guys…" I whispered quietly.

"Tell me what happened." Shikamaru ordered.

"Hm?" I looked at him. He stared at me. "Tell you what, Shikamaru?" Kiba and Naruto stared at him.

"What happened to Neji? Surely, you know…" He whispered at me. My eyes widened.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. "Why would I know about Neji's life?"

"Because you two are dating, right?" Shikamaru asked. Kiba and Naruto stared at me.

"YOU BROKE UP WITH SASUKE-TEME?!" Naruto screamed.

"You're… with NEJI?!" Kiba shouted as they both stood out of their chairs.

"I uh.." Great start, Tenten. That's perfect!!

"Well?" Shikamaru asked. "You are dating him correct? Don't ask how I know. Actually I do. Because of Sasuke. He was making all this ruckus I think a couple days ago… about you and Neji. It's true?" My eye twitched as I rubbed my forehead.

"WHAT?! REALLY?!" I nodded slightly. Naruto's jaw dropped. "N-N-NEJI HAS A GIRLFRIEND?!"

"B-But that's IMPOSSIBLE! Neji would NEVER get a girlfriend after what happened to his ex! Kari cheated on hi-" Shikamaru elbowed Kiba. "Ow…"

"Shut up." Shikamaru ordered.

"I already know about her.." I smiled. "Well, yeah. We are dating now. But-"

"So tell us what happened to him?!" Naruto asked with concern. "I bet it has something to do with Sasuke!" I blinked and let out a gasp. "Huh?"

"How'd you know…" I started.

"Sasuke is a very over protective guy. He thinks since he's an Uchiha, he gets what he wants." Kiba pointed at me. "What he wants is you, Ms. Shiho." My jaw dropped.

"Ew. That sounded wrong, Kiba…" I laughed gently. He grinned and rubbed his head, blushing.

"No hitting on the teacher!" Naruto whispered to him so quietly I couldn't hear. "Neji will pummel you if it's true!!"

"Sh.." Shikamaru ordered again. "Um, Ms. Shiho. So what happened to… Neji?" He asked. I looked down, debating with myself whether I should tell them or not.

"He's in the hospital." I looked up to see 3 wide eyes staring back at me. Naruto's jaw was hanging. Kiba's eyes bulged out of it's sockets. Shikamaru had an eyebrow raised.

"THE Neji Hyuga is in the hospital?!" Naruto screamed.

"Shhh!!" I responded. I walked to the door and shut it. "Yes. He's in the hospital. Quiet down! I'm supposingly supposed to be teaching your class right now. So… SHHH…"

"How'd he get in the hospital?" Kiba asked.

"Wah…" I complained. "He was in my house when-"

"In your house?" Naruto grinned.

"Hee hee…" Kiba grinned along. I blushed.

"No! Not that!" I put my hands in front of me and flailed my arms. "No!! No! He was just over. We were suppose to do homework!! Sasuke came over and he hurt Neji…"

"How bad is it?" Shikamaru asked.

"2 broken ribs…" I whispered. The 3 of them shot out of their seats. "But, he's fine now." I smiled. They looked down.

"I hope so…" Naruto whispered. "I may seem… really clutzy around Neji and make fun of him and such, but Neji's my friend." He smiled. Kiba nodded.

"Same here." I smiled at them. "Now, I know, Neji's not here…" Kiba started. "But, can I say something to you?" He asked. I nodded. "You're so hot…" I laughed.

"Yes, I remember you telling me that before."

"Just thought I'd remind you." Kiba grinned. I blushed and laughed.

"So it's true, right?" Shikamaru asked. I nodded.

"Me and Neji are dating." I responded.

-Outside the classroom-

"Woah. Did you hear that?" Ino asked. Sakura nodded.

"Ms. Shiho… and Neji Hyuga?" Sakura asked Ino. Ino pulled out a tape recorder.

"Got it all on tape.." She grinned. "Now for sure, Ms. Shiho will be kicked out of the school for student and teacher relationship… And then Sakura, you will be cheerleader captain!"

"And you'll be the prettiest in the school again." Ino smirked.

"It will happen."
