Sasuke

I took it upon myself to pick up Tenten from Hyuga's. I walked up to the gates and was granted access. A servant guided me to greet Hyuga Hiashi. I sat before the old man as he looked at me curiously.

"Our next meet is the day prior to Neji's birthday, Uchiha-san."

"Yes, but I'm actually here to fetch the Lady."

Hiashi eyed me. It almost looked like a glare, but not really.

"Ah, Tenten-sama is with Neji and Hinata in the outdoor sparing area. I will escort you, since I am curious as to what they are doing myself."

I nodded and stood. I walked along side the head of the Hyuga clan to the area. Many of the Hyugas were outside watching the three of them. Tenten was in full ANBU gear, as was Hyuga. Hinata was wearing her usual sweater with leggings. I stood beside the Hyuga head and leaned against the fencing.

"Are you not going to fetch her?" Hyuga Hiashi asked me.

"I kind of wish to watch this. I haven't seen Tenten-sama teach before. She's studying to be a cell leader for Gennin." I said recasting my cheek in my hand.

"Hm. Is that so?"

Tenten had told Hinata to get into her stance.

"Alright. I'm going to make sure it's solid like last time. No matter what hit, stay in that position."

"Yes!" Hinata replied.

Tenten then began delivering light jabs and kicks. I can see the heiress struggling a bit since she was swaying in her spot. Tenten stopped and walked up to her, tapping her arm that was extended and nudging her hip.

"Not bad. You didn't move as much this time, but your arm dipped about five inches." Tenten observed.

"Let's see how good your delivering and quickness is."

Tenten removed the scroll from her back and unravelled it slightly. I only blinked and a storm of kunai were fired at Hinata. She looked petrified. Neji had stepped infront of her and gave a yell of "Rotation". He deflected the kunai and looked at his cousin in disappointment.

"I-I'm sorry! I wasn't ready!" Hinta stuttered, stumbling back.

I can hear a disapproving sigh come from Hiashi. Wow he is really hard on his kids. Looking back, Neji had moved out the way, I blinked again and more kunai flew straight at Hinata. She deflected and dodged as much as she could, getting nicked here and there, before she could even compose herself, Tenten was already charging toward her. The only thing the Hyuga heiress could do was block the ANBU's blows. And I can tell she hits hard since Hinata was struggling with staying in her spot. She was sliding back with every hit.

"Kyaa!"

Tenten had kicked Hinata up in the air and palmed her down. The Hyuga hit the ground /hard/. I must give her props though, she slowly stood up and got back into a defensive stance. Hyuga put a hand on Tenten's shoulder and my little panda relaxed her stance.

"Neji, do not interfere this time; Tenten-sama, do your worst." Hiashi Hyuga called out to the ANBU.

"Hinata, you must find your center of focus." Neji called out to his cousin.

"BE THE LEAF*." He added.

But Tenten did not move. She looked a bit conflicted. I guess I wouldn't blame her. She turned to Hyuga and said something inaudible to him. Hyuga nodded and walked toward Hinata.

"Hyuga-sama, Hinata is not ready for that. I will not push her into fighting something she cannot win or even worse die." Tenten called from the training ground.

Hyuga Hiashi looked at her shocked. I would be too if I was told no on a direct order. However, his face softened and he nodded.

"Understandable. Do as you must, for my daughter is in your hands until you see fit, Tenten-sama."

"Let's go a round."

Hiashi looked at his nephew. Hyuga was looking at Tenten. I gave out a whistle and she snapped her head toward me.

"You two play nice. Tsunade-sama is expecting you home soon and without any injury." I announced.

Tenten giggled and she nodded at Neji, who got into his stance. Tenten told Hinata to watch her cousin's stance as they sparred.

Neji

Oh great, Uchiha is here... Just when I was about to show Tenten off to the elders...I led Hinata to the sidelines, toward her father, shooting Uchiha a quick glanced, bowed to Hiashi before walking back to the center of the ring.

"Tenten, take off the belt." I called to her.

She shook her head.

"What's the point of sparring if I don't get a work out?"

"Are you calling me weak? Do I need to teach you a lesson?"

Ok that sounded a bit dirty, but I can't take it back now. I got into my sparring stance and gestured for her to bring it. I can feel my clan's eyes burning in the back of my head. They only came out to see Hinata get taught Taijutsu, but now they get a show. Tenten put her scroll aside and got into her standard Taijutsu stance.

"Battle between Branch heir, Hyuga Neji and Princess Tenten of Konoha shall commence!" An elder announced.

Oh great, the audience had begun to evaluate me ready... Dammit. I swear my family can be so annoying sometimes... I looked at the elder and nodded.

"Begin!"

We dashed at each other. I sent all the punches and kicks I could muster, for if Tenten were to find an opening, she would take full advantage of it. Which means, I have to watch my blind spot carefully. I began to send chakra waves through my hands, but Tenten's flexibility allowed her to dodge them...but only barely. I knocked her over, only to have her jump back and gain her balance back. She was a slick one. I charged her once more. I went in for a punch when she palmed my arm, causing me to dip forward, and be kicked at full force in the chin. I can their gasps coming from the clan members as I staggered backward.

So she's going all secret Taijutsu on me huh? I composed myself just in time to dodge a kick to the face. I distanced myself from her. When did she get so fast wearing the weight around her waist? Then I realized most of the weight probably came from her scroll. The fact that she can carry it on her back baffles me. She has her two fans in there, so why doesn't she carry them separately? I charged at her again, successfully landing two punches before she hit the ground. That's it. She's slowing down. That's unusual.

"Hmph,"

I glanced over at Uchiha. I see. She's uneasy with him here. Understandable.

"C'mon Tenten, you're better than this!" I exclaimed as she panted slightly.

I notice her glance once more at Uchiha.

"Ignore it. It's just you and me. Just like it always is."

Tenten bit her lip but it soon turned into a smile and her eyes locked mine. Now the real fighting starts. Since I'm not allowed to activate Byakugan or use and gentle fists, besides slight chakra control for now, this was going to be a bit difficult to plan out. I can tell she already had a plan formulating in her head. I charged her again, swiping at her legs. She jumped; high. I noticed the twist in her torso, so before she could go in for a kick, I grabbed her ankle. I flung her toward the wall, she made a bit of a dent in it, but she steadied herself. Locking eye with me again, I noticed the chakra gathering at her feet.

She's nuts.

I planted my feet and blinked. Crap, she's crazy... Like an arrow she launched herself at me. Straight at me. Head on. I bent down lower and prepared to deflect any kicks or punches. But when she got no less then a few yards-

"Oof!"

I staggered back to the ground, Tenten laying on top of me, the weight of her belt slightly crushing my torso. But it wasn't over. She jumped back when I tried to grab her hips and push her up to switch positions. I stood panting slightly due to the weight that had been lifted. That thing can kill someone with a blow to the head.

"Neji, stop holding back. You're insulting me."

I smirked. I didn't want to hurt her. Not in front of my family will I go all out like I normally do. That's one secret they can't know; how strong my team actually is.

"Neji! Stop fooling around!" That voice was Hanabi's.

There was a hum from the audience of my clan. I can tell Hiashi was looking at me like I had three heads. He has no idea how me and Tenten actually train. I sighed and shrugged at my younger cousin. She sucked her teeth and told Tenten to destroy me. I can hear Ookami cheer for my teammate. Wow, great family...really supportive of me...I sighed

"If I did that I wouldn't have a teammate!" Tenten winked at her.

Tenten nodded at me. She was giving me the ok to use my gentle fist. I gathered bits of chakra and got into my stance. I heard some whispering from the elders.

"Keep it on. That's a only for battle." I told her as she adjusted the belt.

"I know. I was adjusting it. It crushes my hips sometimes." She replied as she got into her stance.

This meant she could use weapons as well.

She dropped a few smoke bombs, and I activated my Byakugan. I dodge the kunai that wizard past my head. The smoke lifted and there was two of her. They both held kunai as they jumped me. I gently fisted the clone leaving the original standing. Tenten clipped my chin before I gentle fisted her backward. She's experienced it before, and even now I'm not going full force. Straightening herself, she brought the kunai to her lips and formed hand signs.

"Shadow Kunai Clone Jutsu!"

About more than a dozen kunai materialized and she flung them at me by the handfuls.

"Rotation!"

I rotated myself, my chakra spewing out of my finger tips. I deflected all of her kunai. As I came to a stop, she had dashed at me, barely two inches from my nose. I felt a strange pressure behind my head...what the-

"Aagh!"

I felt my hair being pulled out my head. Did she just grab my ponytail? I jerked backward and took we down with me. I twisted us so she was under me. I kicked at her legs, successfully and she was now under me. I was in a push up position hovering over her, I was panting slightly. Tenten did give me a bit of a work out the first part. I can hear my clan hum excitedly.

"So you think they like us?"

I let out a laugh, which surprised the clan members within ear shot of us. I stood and held out my hand to Tenten. She beamed at me and took it. Hoisting her up, I notice Temari and the Kazekage smirking at me. I know we're talking later...

"You're faster than before." I commented as we walked to Hiashi.

"It's all thanks to you suggesting the weight and dealing with my slow ass."

I put an arm around her shoulder.

"No not slow, just needed to be pushed."

That got a smile. She's used to me pointing out the bad points of people. I tried to keep that a minimum with her because I don't even have a full understanding of that weird Taijutsu she does. Also, I wanna be honest without hurting her feelings.

"Nice job, Ten. You were close." Uchiha embraced her.

I noticed that Tenten had stiffened. Due to last night's events, she probably doesn't want to have any form of physical contact with him...

But that's just my thoughts.

I turned to see the sand siblings walking toward us. Temari grinned and punched my shoulder, teasing me that I got my hair yanked. My hand went to my now messed up pony tail. I took the tie out and brushed it back into place with my fingers. Tenten let out a laugh as he watched me.

"What's so amusing about a man fixing his pony tail?"

"Cuz it's the great Hyuga Neji who's fixing his pony tail." She replied.

I rolled my eyes and tied my hair back. I glanced over at Gaara, who was looking at Uchiha.

"Uchiha Sasuke..." I heard him mumble under his breath.

Turning to my uncle, Hanabi emerged from begin him and gave me one of her teenage annoyance faces.

"What?" I asked looking down at her.

"You suck, Neji-nii..." She spat.

Hiashi glared at her from the side. I leaned over, clearly towering her, and smirked.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over my victory."

Hanabi huffed and squinted at me. I loved messing with the younger cousins. I find her to be more amusing than Hinata at times. She reminds me of Naruto a bit. A rebel yes, but she has a very weird way of always being right. Just like Hiashi. She also seems to have taken some of her sensei's thinking style. Oh great, Hanabi is turning into a Uchiha...

"Alright, you guys ready?" Uchiha asked Tenten and the Sand siblings.

Temari nodded. The Sand siblings will be back, since they're staying with us for the month. Tenten said she'll drop by a little later to drop them off. Uchiha bowed to Hiashi before taking Tenten by the hip and leading the brood to the main exit. Hinata tapped me on the shoulder.

"So...what happen last night?"

I went wide eyed at her. She was smiling at me. My uncle eyes me curiously, he must think I did something stupid.

"I visited father."

"And?"

"Progress."

Sasuke

I walked hand in hand with Tenten down the streets. She hasn't said a word to me. I glanced at her slightly and noticed that she was biting her lip, a nervous habit of hers. I squeezed her had slightly which caused her to look at me.

"Hey are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm fine."

Not convinced. We reached the tower and I noticed Sakura at the door. She waved at me and smiled. Oh yeah. Tenten's check up was today. I walked over to her and gave her a friendly hug. I noticed Tenten's posture change instantly. The pinkette walked with us into the Hokage mansion. Dropping off the Ambassador and the Kazekage at the meeting hall, the three of us walked to Tenten's room. There were monitors set up and a tray with some needles and other things that Sakura enjoyed to poke people with. Instructing Tenten to lay down I the bed. She clipped some device to Tenten's index finger. Sakura began to stretch the weapons master's legs and arms, feeling her pulse and stuff.

"This will feel weird."

Tenten opened her mouth and Sakura sent two swabs down her throat. I didn't hear Tenten gag. Dirty things we have been doing. Dirty things. My teammate pressed he hands against Tenten's neck and shoulders, cocking an eyebrow.

"You know, for a Taijutsu person, you aren't very muscular in the typical areas."

Tenten shrugged.

"I work more on legs and core. My arms come from the weapons wielding."

Sakura then instructed her to stand and touch her toes. She touched the floor. Then once more without the belt. Tenten unbuckled it and looked at Sakura.

"It's a bit heavy."

"Hand it over-!"

Sakura looked shocked. She had to hold it with two hands. And that's saying something since Sakura is pretty strong. Tenten smiled sheepishly and bent down. Her nose touched her knees and her hands were flat on the floor. Damn. That's a turn on.

"Alright. Drop into a split."

And she did. Her flexibility is insane. How did Hyuga not grab her? She got up and did some more stretching. The Sakura grabbed a bottle of...what the hell.

"Alright, drop the leggings and underwear. I have to check you."

I gave a little..can that be even called a squeak? A weird noise escaped my mouth and both women looked at me. Sakura grinned, sensing my surprise and Tenten cocked an eyebrow at me.

"You do know woman get their vagina checked don't you?" She looked at me with her big brown eyes.

"Listen, I thought this was a physical. Not a GYN appointment."

"Full body, babe." Tenten cracked a small smile before dropping the lower half of her clothing and laid back down on the bed.

I shut my eyes and heard Tenten grunt a bit. Kami, what the hell?

"Your period is a bit light. Is that normal?"

"It's changed in the last months with the extensive training."

When I opened my eyes, Tenten was putting on her pants and then taking off her ANBU tops and bra. I bit back any possible sound that could be made. Is it weird to be turned on when women...well my teammate and my girlfriend- get their breasts checked? I can't even touch Tenten's chest unless we were having sex. Dammit.

"Alright. Now Imma check your heart and lungs before taking a blood sample."

Tenten nodded as she sat up. Sakura indeed checked her heart and lungs. My eyes didn't leave my girlfriend's chest. She must have noticed me looking since she stuck her tongue out at me and winked. Putting her bra and her tops back on, she held out her arm. Sakura tied some rubber just above her elbow and stuck a needle into her arm. The red liquid was plentiful and the whole was covered with a bandaid.

"Sasuke, let me show you something." Tenten said standing.

She walked up to me and reviled her left hip. There carved into her skin was the seal that Tsunade told me about. Which I inwardly sighed in relief at. Oh thank you kami for that type of birth control!

"Alright all done." Sakura said smiling.

"Cool thanks." Tenten replied.

Sakura gathered her things. Just as she was about to walk out, I managed to grab a hold of her sleeve and tug on it.

"Are we still hanging out tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah. If I have no emergencies or get sent on any missions than we should be good." She said her green eyes sparkling.

I nodded and she walked out of the room. I noticed Tenten by the window. She had a distant look on her face as she gazed through the glass. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and kissed her neck, asking her what she's thinking about. She shook her head and continued to stay silent. I asked her again, this time poking her side which caused her to squirm.

"I won't stop til you tell me, Ten." I said.

She squirmed in my arms, not giving in. An amazing trained ANBU indeed. Stopping, I turned her around so she was looking me in the eye. She pouted at me and stuck out her tongue. I continued to look at her seriously. I could tell she was getting annoyed. Good.

"WHAT?!" She exclaimed.

"Tell me what you're thinking about!" I insisted.

"I..."

I waited. Looks like it's important.

"I..."

She bit her lip. C'mon Tenten...on with it...

"I..."

Oh no. She looks like she's about to cry. I placed my hand behind her neck and pushed her head down to my shoulder. I can feel her stiffen, then relax. I sat on her bed with her in my arms. She didn't cry, which confused me. She just held me close and kept her head against my shoulder. We sat like this for a while. I held her tight, stroking the top of her head. I guess she really needed a hug. I'm not sure what happen, but since I arrives at the Hyugas to get her, she's been acting distant.

"Sasuke." She whispered.

I hummed in response.

"I need to ask you something."

I nodded.

"Do...are you sure you love me like you say you do?"

I held my breath. What did she just ask me? I pulled her away and cupped her face in my hands. Looking into her eyes, my heart squeezed. I let a smile out and asked her why she would ask such a question. Tenten shrugged. She was wondering. I nodded and said yes. Half my mind went "yeah sure you do" and the other half said "of course I do". I do love her. But, she doesn't belong to me. Sadly. However, I know once I hand her over to Hyuga, she'll be true my happy.

"Tenten-sama." A voice came from the doorway.

We both turned and there was Shizune standing with that pig, TonTon in her arms. Tenten nodded and stood. We followed Shizune to Tsunade's office where Naruto, Shikamaru and Rock Lee were were waiting. Tsunade had creepy Anko beside her, beaten up and tired. She must have returned from a mission. We both bowed to her and waited for her to speak.

"Sasuke, I'm guessing Itachi has been keeping you in the dark. I have news that I need your team to look into." Tsunade announced.

I nodded.

"Orochimaru has a little street rat. About your age, Tenten, maybe a year older...anyway, she's been seen in Suna, Mist, and Waterfall. There has been reports that she changes her appearance every time she switches villages, but some have been able to identify her."

"And who exactly is she?" Is asked.

"Here," she held out a file to me.

I walked up and took it. Opening it, I read the paper of the shinobi info card as well as village documents. Orochimaru's kin...I looked at the picture. She was young indeed. Her face resembled Orochimaru's almost exactly. However, her eyes were grey and she sported green eyeliner.

"There is no name here." I looked at the Hokage.

"Orochimaru has altered the files." Anko spoke.

"How are we supposed to find her then?" I asked.

"A name is an identity. No name, no identity." Tenten casted her eyes to the ground.

"So we can't get to her unless we have a physical description. But since she changes every week, it'll be hard."

Anko breathed in.

"She has a tattoo on her left forearm. It's the symbol of the snake. You can find her with that."

I eyed Anko. She used to be a puppet of Orochimaru. But for e to come home beat up from a mission has me questioning the strength of the little white snake. Looking directly at Anko, I asked her about the injuries.

"I was tailing the little bastard."

"Chakra level?"

"Alpha-delta."

"Intelligence?"

"Omega." Shikamaru answered.

I grinned.

"Excellent."

"Sasuke..."

I turned to Tenten, her eyes casted to the floor.

"Deactivate your Sharingan. You've always been so bloodthirsty when it comes to Orochimaru." Tsunade glared at me.

Blinking, I smirked.

"How do we fall into this?"

Tsunade folded her hands and sighed.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I hear by temporarily assign you as first ANBU officer until I say nay. From this day I combine team Team Kakashi ad Team Gai into one, eight man cell."

I looked at her curiously.

"I am attaching both of your sensei's to your cell. Hyuga Neji is leader, for he his of higher status of Tenten. As he is Leutenit, you will follow his lead. As she is Captain, you will not question an order."

She looked me in the eye.

"As First Officer, you will ensure the survival, support, and completion of your cell squad. Do I make myself clear, Uchiha Sasuke?"

I bowed deeply

"Crystal,"

"Do you accept your temporary position?"

"I accept, Hokage-sama."

Rock Lee raised his hand and was approved to speak.

"Has the news been reached to Neji?"

Tsunade shook her head. She looked at Tenten, and gave a smile. A meeting will be held tomorrow between Hiashi, Neji, Neji's aunt and Itachi.

"And Tenten as well."

I wipes my head toward her. Shikamaru and Lee looked curiously at her. Anko cleared her throat.

"Our Lady has become an indirect Hyuga Official as of yesterday. With that any meeting that required Hyuga attendance will be included with her presence."

I was a bit shocked. Could Hiashi be trying to use Tenten to get into my head? No...Tenten wouldn't have accepted. Hyuga is potential heir to the Branch, but he probably had no idea as well. As for the aunt I doubt she had any say. Hiashi is a slick old man. Very slick... I hated that man for constantly reminding me that Uchihas were born to serve under the Byakugan.

Fuck me.

"Tenten-sama, does this mean you have acquired the ability to be part of the council?" Shikamaru asked his eyes hard and tone dark.

What's his deal?

"I believe so. However, I find myself not to have patience for such responsibility."

I see Shikamaru's face lighten up and he nodded. What a dick.

"Details of a mission will come through within a month. Be ready. Other than that you are all dismissed except for Rock Lee and Tenten."

*i had to. I found it fitting even though it's a bit OOC for Neji...oh and I do not own The legend of Korra
