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

Neji kissed her deeply.

"Thank you…" He whispered. "I promise you, Tenten. That you will never be a replacement. I will love you not unconditionally but all the time. You will always be on my mind…" He mumbled against her jaw before kissing her back on the lips.

"Neji…" She whispered his name. "Do you… promise me.. For real? No more lying?" She asked. Neji stroked her cheek.

"No more lying. I promise. We'll get back at them." Tenten blinked.

"What?" She asked.

"We'll get back at Ino and Sakura. I promise you this. And we'll do it together. We'll straighten them out. And then, we'll get you teaching at the school again. You won't have to leave Konoha." Tenten nodded.

"Thank you." He smirked. Neji collapsed next to Tenten as the two quickly fell asleep.

-Next Morning-

"Wake up sleeping beauty." Neji kissed her forehead.

"Hm…?" She snuggled against him when he rolled on top of her and pinned her down. Her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey… Lemme ask you this. Do you still think it's weird to date a student? And love him so much?" He kissed her forehead. She smirked and shut her eyes.

"Hm. Slightly." She mumbled. Her eyes opened and she smiled up at him.

"Well Ms. Tenten Shiho, we have a lot to do then… if you're still uncomfortable about this dating teacher student thing. Maybe.. I should prove to you, that it's the same kind of relationship between student and student as teacher to student, hm? Should I show you how much I love you?" He asked and played with her hair. Tenten flipped him over so that she was on top.

"How about I show you?" She asked and kissed him.

"I don't know about that…" He grinned. "I think I can show you better. All you have to do, Ms. Shiho, is tell me."

"Hm?" She looked at him.

"I do better at showing, as you do better in speaking. So as I show you how much I love you, why don't you tell me how much you love me? Better yet… I want to hear you scream it…" He grinned and blew against her ear. Tenten blushed 10 folds as she fell off the bed. Neji sat up and looked down at her as she hid her face in her hands. "What's the matter?" He asked. "Scared?" She looked up at him.

"N-No, Y-You just… I mean, w-well.. Y-your words are… and actions a-are very-" She couldn't even speak right for god sake. She was stumbling and stuttering over how hot Neji was at the moment. He swung his feet around so they were hanging off the bed. He slowly smirked as he rested his chin on his hands. Neji's hair clung slightly to his face. Topless, smirking, beautiful, persuasive. Tenten would've jumped on him if the phone didn't ring.

"Dammit." Neji let out a loud groan as he got up to get the phone. Tenten let out a sigh. She ordered her heart to stop thumping so hard. Her face red as a tomato.

W-Was he serious? Everything he said? Tenten thought as she remembered his words.

"I do better at showing, as you do better in speaking. So as I show you how much I love you, why don't you tell me how much you love me? Better yet… I want to hear you scream it…"

She blushed at his words and squeezed her eyes shut and held her hands up to her burning face. What am I going to say? How is this going work? Oh my gosh…

-Meanwhile-

"Hn." Neji picked up the phone. "Who the hell is this?"

"NEJI!!!"

"Oh. It's just Naruto."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S JUST NARUTO?" He shouted into the phone. Neji cringed at the loudness.

"Shut up. You're too loud."

"HOW'S MS. SHIHO?" He shouted.

"She's fine. Now go away."

"Give me that, Naruto." Shikamaru ordered and pulled the phone away from him. Naruto's whines were heard. "Don't you whine. You had your turn. Hey… Neji?"

"What's it now, Shikamaru…" Neji scratched his head.

"We got some bad news, man." Shikamaru muttered.

"HORRIBLE NEWS!" Naruto and Kiba said together.

"Can you please take me off speaker phone so I don't have to listen to those idiots scream?" Neji scratched at his ear this time. "No can do. We all have to tell you this."

"If it's not important, get back to your class. You guys are suppose to be in school."

"We ARE. We're in the BOYS bathroom trying to TELL you something WICKED important!" Kiba shouted.

"If you're skipping class to tell me something, using your phones when you're not suppose to, then don't scream, idiots. Now stop wasting my time."

"Alright, listen up. I'm only saying this once…" Shikamaru mumbled. "There are pictures of you pinning Tenten to the ground and kissing her. It's real bad. I don't know who did it. But there's pictures of you and her on the walls, and in everyone's lockers." Neji froze.

"Say that again?"

"I told you, I'm only saying this once-"

"I'LL REPEAT IT! GOD, NEJI. IT HAS A PICTURE OF YOU FORCEFULLY KISSING MS. SHIHO!!" Naruto shouted.

"Keep it down!" Neji heard a whack.

"Ow, Kiba!!" Naruto whined. Neji growled.

"I'm coming."

"Wait, you can't. You're suspended, remember?"

"Like hell, I care. You think I'm about to have pictures of me and Tenten all over the school?!"

"Well, they already are. And-" Shikamaru was interrupted.

"So it's TRUE?" Kiba asked.

"What…"

"That you were FORCEFULLY kissing her?!" Naruto shouted.

"I wasn't… forcefully kissing her." Neji blushed. "I.. Who got the stupid picture anyways?" Neji asked. There was a long pause until someone answered.

"We're not sure." Shikamaru responded. "Get to the school as fast as you can. We'll let you in through the boy's window."

"Keep it out of the principal's sight. Got it?" Neji ordered.

"Tough, man. They're all over the school." Kiba responded.

"Well, then I hope you can run." Neji was about to hang up when-

"I'll wait in the bathroom for you. Naruto and Kiba are going to get the pictures." Shikamaur responded.

"Good. See you in a bit." Neji slammed the phone and growled. Stupid. It has to be Ino and Sakura. Neji stormed to the room. "Tenten!" He shouted her name. Tenten stood.

"Wh-What's wrong?" She asked quietly.

"Come with me." He responded.

"What?"

"There are… pictures in school with me kissing you." Tenten's eyes widened.

"Oh… no…." Tenten muttered as her eyes widened.

"Don't worry. Naruto and Kiba are helping. Shikamaru's waiting for us. I need you to dress up as a boy though…" Tenten's eyes widened as she nearly gagged.

"And WHY?" She asked.

"If you're Ms. Shiho, then the boys will go goo-goo-ga-ga…. The girls will chase after you, and you know what? We will get in bigger trouble." Neji threw on a shirt as he threw Tenten a pair of long jeans and a big t-shirt. Neji ran out of the room as Tenten quickly changed. "Here." He threw her a hat. Tenten stuffed her long beautiful hair into the hat and smirked. "Even as a boy, you're beautiful. I swear to god, if you were really a boy looking that good, I think I would've gone gay for you." He smirked.

"Oh shut up." She slapped him. "That's gross and wrong sounding."

"Heh. Let's go." He grabbed her hand.

"Mr. Gay can let go of my hand now." Tenten smirked as Neji let go.

"Right." He responded as they ran to the school. "Through the boy's bathroom." Tenten's face flushed.

"N-No!!" She shouted.

"You're a boy, remember? Jeez." He mumbled. Tenten gulped.

"B-but what if another boy is there…." She whispered.

"I'll cover your eyes." He smirked. She nodded.

"O-Okay." Neji threw a rock at the window as it opened.

….

"Neji?" Shikamaru peered out.

"Who else would it be?"

"… Who's the guy?"

"It's me." Tenten grinned.

"Ms. Shiho…"

"Just call me Ten- no… Um… call me… Jiro!" She smiled.

"You can't smile like that, dork." Neji lifted her up as they got through the window. Shikamaru flashed a picture at them as Neji and Tenten -ahem- Jiro's eyes popped out.

This was recent. Neji thought.

Just.. Like now… like…. Today. Oh my gosh. Stupid stalkers! Must be fan girls.

Must be fan boys. Neji thought and growled. "You say they're all over?" Shikamaru nodded.

"AND WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"

"Ts-Tsunade…" Neji scratched his head.

"Oh my gosh, I know…" Sakura's voice.

"Good idea. Now Neji and Tenten will never come back to the school."

"… bitches…" Tenten muttered. Neji walked out of the boys room and glared down at them.

"Hi. I think we've met before. Who were you two again… oh yeah. The three little pigs. Oh wait. There's only two of you. Which one of you ate the third bitch?" Neji dragged them in and locked them.

"Oh… my gosh. This is the boy's bathroom. And… WOAH." Ino pointed to Tenten *cough* JIRO.

"Major hottie…" Sakura grinned. Tenten felt very, very uncomfortable.

"You two spread pictures of me and Tenten.." He growled.

"Uh…. Yeah!" Ino laughed nervously. Don't trifle with a mad Hyuga. "Um…"

"We… it wasn't us."

Where'd Shikamaru go? Neji looked around until he saw feet in a stall. Idiot. Neji sighed. "I know it was you two. I heard you two out side the bathroom."

"Y-You're suppose to be suspended!" Ino glared at Neji.

"And you're suppose to be in jail. Stalker." Neji growled at her. "You too, Pink-head."

"Why are you even yelling at us?! Tenten's not even here! Ms. Shiho I meant. She left a long time ago! She left Konoha like, yesterday?" Sakura scratched her head.

"I'm right here, you idiots. And you two must be retarded…" Tenten pulled the cap off and threw it on the ground. "It's me."

"M-Ms. Shiho!!" They shouted.

"Enough with that. I'm just Tenten now… How dare you two go and take pictures of us…"

"Hey. It's all wrong! I mean, teacher and student relationship?" Ino stuck out her tongue.

"So? We're in love. What of it?" Neji growled at them.

"Pffft. A Hyuga in love? Oh that's funny." Sakura laughed.

"Wanna know what else is funny? Smashing those teeth of yours with a big bag of filled with your attitude.." Neji smirked. Sakura shut up immediately.

"Why do you keep doing this to us?" Tenten asked. "I mean, I've never done anything to you."

"You've taken BOYS away from girls, and boys all LIKE you while the girls are all JEALOUS of you! AND I MEAN, YOU DATED Sasuke Uchiha!!" Sakura shouted. "I mean, he's captain of the football team."

"He got expelled. You're looking at the captain now." Neji pointed to himself.

"Oh shut up."

"Why don't you take your own advice?" Neji asked. Ino growled.

"You can't keep us in this stupid boy's bathroom!!" She shouted. "It's unsanitary!"

"So?" Neji raised an eyebrow.

"You two have to make an apology!" Tenten shouted.

"Never."

"Admit that you two took the picture of us."

"WE DID!" Sakura shouted.

"Now tell the whole school that it isn't us. That it was photoshopped." Tenten glared at them.

"Oh HELL no. that picture is PRECIOUS!" Ino sneered. "I mean, teacher and student MAKING OUT? Or should I say, STUDENT forcing TEACHER to make out?" She laughed.

"I'm going to break your teeth and rip out your-"

"Neji." Tenten looked at him. "You two have to stop this."

"Stop what?" They laughed.

"Oh please, Tenten. You just don't want stupid rumors to fly. But you know what? Rumors are out. Saying you two did IT in the school closet." Tenten's jaw dropped. "And guess what? WE started the rumor."

"There's nothing wrong with us dating!" Neji shouted in defense. "And you know what? Start as MANY rumors as you like!"

"Okay. See, Ino? We do have permission." Sakura grinned.

"Ah perfect. New rumor: Neji likes to push people around and force them to do what he wants. Including Tenten." Ino laughed.

"…" Neji growled.

"WE took the pictures. What are you going to do about it? No way are we saying that it was photoshopped." Sakura sneered.

"Yeah. Forget it. I'm sure Tsunade already saw the picture and you know what? I bet she's going to your house now. Not too mention, I hope you two are forever KICKED out of Konoha. So Sasuke can come back." Ino stuck out her tongue.

"If you want to keep that tongue, keep it in your mouth.." Neji threatened.

I… can't do anything. Tenten touched her forehead. No matter what I do…. I can't… make them stop. Confronting them.. Isn't working. I can't. They won't listen to me, nor Neji… What can I do?

"Oh. I was hoping you two would break up." Sakura rested her chin on her knees.

"What?" Neji glared at her.

"Well… why wouldn't you two? I mean… well, did you hear what Sasuke sent to her?"

"And you would know that… how, Ino?" Tenten asked. They were silent as they looked at each other. Gotcha…. Tenten smirked.

WOW. This is my FAVORITE chapter. Not only does Neji have a sharp tongue, he can be uber romantic. :)

Okay. New options for next chapter:

1. Neji and Tenten leave Ino and Sakura to find Sasuke to seek the truth.

2. Ino and Sakura scream and Tsunade comes in to punish Neji and Tenten.

3. Neji and Tenten find out the truth and THEN seek Sasuke to confirm.

4. Neji beats up Ino and Sakura while Tenten tries to stop him.

5. Ino and Sakura apologize for all they've done and leave the couple alone. (horrible option. Don't pick. Lol.)

Please review. I'd love to hear what you guys thought about the chapter. Oh, and if you have any other ideas about the next chapter, feel free to share ideas with me. :)
