HI! Here's another chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 11- Burning Love

The streets were empty and almost pitch black Neji walked with Ten-ten down them. Neji in his black Count attire walking with a Chinese empress, now that you wouldn't see everyday. Neji looked over at Ten-ten; the moonlight was glimmering against her skin. Ten-ten noticed him staring at her and looked at Neji; he looked away when she did; blushing slightly.

"What?" Ten-ten asked.

"What do you mean?" Neji asked back.

"You were staring at me."

"You're delusional." He said.

"Delusional! Hardily, you're the one who is dense." Ten-ten said crossing her arms.

He frowned at her, 'She looks really pretty, especially now…WHAT! No, think straight! My mission is to walk her home, I can't fall in …' His thoughts were stopped when Ten-ten and his eyes locked.

Ten-ten took his hand and dragged him in front of her house. "H...hey!"

She unlocked and opened the door, dragging him in and closing it. "W...what are you doing!"

The lights were off and no one was home, Ten-ten's parents are out continuing the party elsewhere. She pulled him into her living room and they sat on the couch in the dark room. They sat in silence as they both looked down.

"Why-" But Neji was cut off.

"You know, ever since we were put into our three man team…." Ten-ten trailed off as she looked up.

Neji looked at her, "What about it?"

Ten-ten moved closer to him and looked him in the eyes. But Neji and Ten-ten both looked away at the same time. Ten-ten got up and lit a fire in the fireplace in front of them. She sat down in front of it and closed her eyes.

"Ten-ten?" Neji called her name and she felt a tingle go down her spine.

"Yes Neji?"

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"What does it look like?"

They were silent again. Ten-ten continued to close her eyes, that was, until she felt an arm go around her waist and pull her towards them. Ten-ten turned her head to see Neji pull her close to him as he laid down next to her.

"W-what are y-you doing N-Neji…?" Said a blushing Ten-ten.

Neji put his finger to her mouth, "Shhhhhh."

Neji laid on his side and pulled her closer, and made her lay down on her back in front of him, so close that she could feel his warm breath on her neck; Ten-ten shivered at this. He used his elbow to prop his head up with his fist leaning against his chin, with his other hand her undid her hair and playfully ran his fingers through it. Ten-ten closed her eyes and smiled as she blushed madly, Neji being so dense, didn't even notice.

"How are you my Empress?" Neji called.

"Mmmm, I am good now, thanks to you…" Ten-ten said as she continued to blush.

"That's good…" He whispered into her ear.

Another tingle went down Ten-ten's spine as he continued to run his fingers through her hair. Ten-ten closed her eyes again and sighed as she felt him shift. She opened her eyes to find Neji's white eyes staring down at her. Ten-ten gaped at the look he was giving her, it was not emotionless like usual, but instead it was full of gentleness. Ten-ten's cheeks flushed a deep pink and before she knew it her lips went and met his.

When Ten-ten kissed him, Neji was at first surprised, but then he kissed her back. He put his arms around her waist, as she put her's around his neck. They stayed like that for a few minutes more and broke off. Neji resumed his place next to her on his side, stroking her hair gently.
