Hyuuga Neji – July 3rd
"Once upon a time in a far away land there lived a beautiful princess named Neji"
Stay calm Neji, stay calm
"And he
was in love with a manly prince"
I am only a branch member,
I have no right to protest their treatment of me
"This prince was called Tenten"
"WHAT!?"
Well, so much for that plan.
" What's wrong onii-chan?" The terror that was sugar-high lady Hanabi enquired innocently. For such a skilled Hyuuga she shared none of her father's sophistication when it came to torturing branch members, yet the impact was not lessened by this.
"Hanabi-chan?" came the dulcet tones of the 'manly prince Tenten' oh thank god I'm saved! "You're not being mean to Neji again are you?"
"Who me?" she asked innocently
"And on his birthday as well" Cried Lee accusingly.
"Branch members don't have birthdays" The two Hyuugas chorused in monotone.
"Rubbish" Tenten snorted "C'mon Neji! Let's go get drunk!"
"On youth!"
"Yeah, sure Lee, on youth, of course" Tenten agreed and dragged the two boys to the nearest bar in order to get absolutely slaughtered.
"And so I was the princess and she was the prince" a somewhat drunken – yet still capable of speech – Neji was telling his story for the nth time to whoever would listen.
"Well," Kiba replied "you do have longer, shinier hair than her"
"Yeah, and you do wear a skirt" Naruto added "And she wears trousers"
The whole of the Konoha Eleven (plus Sai and their senseis') had gathered to celebrate Neji's birthday, though they referred to it as "a celebration of unspecified significance" – Neji was particularly touchy about his position in the Hyuuga clan even two and a half years after his defeat at the hands of Uzumaki Naruto.
"I do not wear a skirt" he muttered through gritted teeth "but thank you for that comment about my hair" he directed this last part at Kiba. Naruto shrugged and went in search of someone to play with.
"You look upset. Do you want to talk about it?" Sai asked, plopping himself down in front of Neji with a smile.
Neji relayed the whole story yet again to his new and willing audience.
"well you do have a very small penis" Sai began, but was hurridley yanked away by Ino, fearing for her new toy's pretty face.
Several hours, many retellings and a whole lot of Sake later, Neji had a cunning plan to regain his manhood. He would prove to everyone that he was the man in his and Tenten's relationship – he seemed to have momentarily and conveniently forgotten that he and Tenten were not, in fact, in a relationship.
"onii-san" Hinata stuttered at her cousin's sudden announcement that he needed Tenten's help, not hers "I d-don't think Tenten knows how to get to th-the compound without L-Lee-kun even when she's sober"
Neji glared.
Hinata glared back.
Neji glared more.
Hinata gave in.
"I-I'll go get her then" she murmured and minutes later, Tenten had appeared to drag her team mate home.
She slung his arm around her shoulder and heaved him up, grinning in a somewhat maniacal fashion. It seemed that she was not entirely sober either.
As the pair of them stumbled through the streets of Konoha, leaning on each other heavily, Neji wondered how, exactly, he would be able to put his cunning plan into action when he could barely walk.
"Uhh . . . Neji? I think we're lost"
Neji raised his head, noticing that he was, indeed, a long way from home. However, he did know exactly where he was . . . and a new cunning plan burst it's way into fruition. "It's that way" he pointed in a vague direction and Tenten readjusted their position that they might be able to walk better.
"Hey Neji look! Hot springs!"
Score! Tenten let go of the Hyuuga prodigy, causing him to stumble slightly. He watched fascinated as she stripped down to her birthday suit – completely unfazed by the fact that Neji was right there. She jumped into the naturally warm pool with a smile on her face "aren't you coming?"
With less haste and more grace than his female team mate, Neji removed his headband and Hyuuga robes, slipping into the water gently and in a way so as not to give Tenten a full view of himself – the same Tenten who was quite happily staring at every inch of his pale but alcohol-flushed skin.
"You're pasty" she informed him, when he was fully submerged
"Humph" came the disgruntled reply
"It's ok, I like that" She said surreptitiously scooting over and following a drop of water down the brunette male's chest with her finger and then proceeding to wind a lock of his hair around that very same finger. Neji gulped. She pressed herself against the Hyuuga, enjoying the way the colour rose to his normally pale cheeks. "besides, you can't complain – you brought us here on purpose"
that's only partly true. He muttered in his head and then repeated it out loud.
"So why did you bring me to this secluded spot then Neji-kun?"
"To prove that I'm more manly than you . . ." he muttered, concentrating hard on not reacting to Tenten's wandering hands. "But now I feel like the one being seduced"
"If this is what Hanabi was talking about earlier then don't worry"
??
"I'll let you wear the pants every now and then, and you can be on top if you really want to"
Neji stiffened. He was not ready for this – copious amounts of sake or no. Distraction technique Neji, quickly!! Thinking fast the Hyuuga whipped out Tenten's hair ties and smirked as her chocolate brown hair cascaded down her shoulders until it stopped at roughly an inch longer than hers. "You have longer hair than me. Looks like I am the man after all" he said and, feeling a little better for this, leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.
"Hyuuga Neji, right now I couldn't care less about who's wearing the pants, because if you kiss me like that again I will quite happily be your love-slave for life" Tenten murmured breathily.
Savouring this moment of domination, Neji kissed the girl beside him once more, this time curling his hands around her hips beneath the water.
"Hyuuga Neji" Tenten declared "I am your bitch."
Owari!
Planned to make it fluffy, but studying Freud must be affecting me more than I thought . . . love to reviewers!
