If looks could kill, Ino would be long gone. The reason being was because Tenten, Neji, Itachi, Sasuke, Temari, Naruto and Sakura where all glaring evilly at her, as the 10 teenagers stood at the bottom of a huge set of hill's. Hinata and Sai where the only ones not glaring.
"I'm sorry," Ino apologized for the 100th time.
"Don't say sorry, you've done nothing wrong," Sai quickly interrupted, sticking up for his girlfriend.
"Why didn't you tell us that the camp site you stay at is in the middle of nowhere?" Sakura asked, glaring at her best friend.
"It's not in the middle of nowhere," Sai, again, said.
"Well it's nowhere we can drive too," Naruto huffed, leaning against Itachi's car. Itachi was sitting in the driver seat of his car with Temari next to him in the passenger seat. Neji, Tenten, Sasuke and Sakura where all sitting in Neji's car still. Naruto, Hinata, Ino and Sai where the only ones out of the cars. The landscape in front of them was all grass and hills for all the eyes could see. Ino had explained when they had arrived that the campsite she always stayed at and the one her family owned land in was in the middle of this country site. No cars were permitted beyond the point where they all stood and it was a 2 hour walk to the campsite. Everyone was very pissed off the moment Ino had explained it.
"Listen, we need to decide what we're doing," Itachi said. "Are we carrying on or driving home?"
"Well me and Ino are carrying on as it took us an hour to drive." Sai said, walking over to his car and unloading his and Ino's bags.
"I think I will too, I don't mind walking." Hinata also said, getting her bags out of Itachi's car. Once Hinata had said that it seemed like it was decided. Tenten and Naruto agreed because Hinata was
going, which also made Neji and Sasuke agree. So the others just nodded and all got their own bags out of the car they'd come in.
"I guess walking isn't too bad," Naruto sighed, placing his bag on his back.
"You're only saying that cause Hinata agreed to come," Sasuke teased, making Naruto blush.
"Oh please don't argue all the way there," Itachi moaned, taking his and Temari's bags and placing them both on his back.
"We won't," Naruto flashing an all cheesy grin.
"Can we go?" Sai moaned, locking his car and starting to walk over to the hills.
"Let's do it!" Tenten cheered, a sudden burst of energy coming out of nowhere. With that everyone agreed and started there 2 hour walk to the camp site
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
They'd been walking for over an hour and each and every one of them was exsorsted. Neji lead the way, although no one was sure if he actually knew the way, but he seemed to have the most energy and no one could catch up. Everyone else walked together in a group all laughing and joking. Tenten, however, felt out of place. Everyone was paired up and it made her feel rather awkward. Well she knew that Naruto and Hinata weren't really a couple yet, but they were talking and walking close together. They looked like a couple. Tenten wanted to talk to someone, but felt that everyone was too preoccupied with their partner. Obviously Neji was alone, but Tenten didn't know if he wanted to talk or not. She hadn't really spoke to him much since she came back from France or been along with him. Maybe things would be weird, although Tenten hoped it wouldn't be. She did get the feeling that they would be spending most of the time together when they got to the campsite as everyone would be with their partners. Tenten also really hoped that Naruto and Hinata would get together this weekend. It was so obvious they had feelings for each other.
"Tenten,"
"Yeah," Tenten said, turning to Hinata as she had called her name. They were walking next to each other, with Naruto on Hinata's other side.
"Neji-nii-san's on his own, maybe you should go talk to him," Hinata replied, looking up at Neji. Tenten turned her head to look at him. He was on his own and maybe he would like someone to talk to.
"Sure," Tenten sighed, running to catch up with Neji. It took her a few minutes as she had a large bag on her back and Neji was quite a way in front of her. "Neji, wait." She called and he turned to look at her. He stopped walking and waited for her to catch up.
"What's up Tenten?" he asked as she came to a stop next to him. Tenten bent over, catching her breath, before the two continued to walk together.
"I thought we could walk together," Tenten said in reply to Neji's earlier question.
"Why, are the others boring you?"
"Not really, but there all paired off. Anyway, we haven't really spoken to each other much since I left for France." Neji turned to the side to look at Tenten who smiled shyly at him.
"I guess we've both been busy," he said, facing the front again. Tenten too looked forward and wondered what to say next. Something simple.
"How's school?" well that was simple enough.
"School's ok," Neji replied bluntly. "How's yours?"
"It's good actually. We started our girl's football team during the week and started training. Our coach Anko-sensei said she was going to get us entered in a tournament, which will be really interesting."
"Well, definitely tell me before hand so I can come and watch."
"Really, I mean you really want to watch?"
"Of course, I'd love to see you kicking a ball around. I'll be there cheering you on." Tenten turned to look at Neji and she felt a small blush go across her face.
"That's really sweet." She muttered, causing Neji to turn to her. They both stopped walking and started at each other.
"Tenten, I actually had something I wanted to talk to you about." Neji started and Tenten nodded, allowing him to continue. "Well, I was wondering, now that everyone's kind of together, that maybe you and me...could...you know,"
"What?" Tenten asked, hoping he was about to say the thing she thought he was.
"Well, maybe we could go out...some time." Tenten bit her lip in a nervous manner. She couldn't believe Neji was asking her out.
"I..I mean, I'd like,"
"WE'RE HERE!" Tenten and Neji both jumped, not realising that the others had caught up with them. They were all standing on top of a hill and when they looked down they could see there was a campsite at the bottom. It was huge, with tents everywhere. "Come on guy's I'll lead the way." Ino called, grabbing Sakura's arm and running down the hill.
"Come on Tenten," Temari yelled, grabbing her and pulling her down the hill as well. She looked back at the boy's, who were still standing at the top, and smiling lightly at Neji. He returned her smile before walking slowly down the hill with the rest of the guys.

After Ino had sorted out all the important, boring business, they'd all gone to where Ino's family owned land. The boys had put up the tents, while the girls just relaxed. However they were having
so much trouble putting them up that Temari and Tenten had to show them how it was done. There were only five tents in total, which Tenten thought was a big problem.
"Right, how are we going to sort out sleeping arrangements?" she asked, staring at the tents. The sun was starting to set as night was fast approaching.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked, also staring at the tents.
"Well, as theirs only 5 two man tents, then one girl and one boy will have to share. I don't mind sharing with Sai if no one else wants to share." Ino, Temari and Sakura looked at each other, before bursting out laughing.
"Tenten, isn't it obvious that me and Sai will share, Temari and Itachi, Sakura and Sasuke, you and Hinata and Naruto and Neji."
"Oh, of course. Everyone wants to sleep with their partner." She nodded her head, but blushed suddenly when she remembered that Neji had asked her out.
"Tenten, you've gone red. Are you ok?" Hinata asked, waving a hand in front of her face. Tenten nodded, grabbing Hinata's hand. She dragged her over to the nearest tent.
"This is our tent," she said, going inside, dropping her bag and falling on top of it.
"Tenten, what's the matter?" Hinata asked sitting beside her. Her own bag was still outside where the others where. Tenten didn't reply at once as she was thinking. If her and Neji went out then they too would be a couple, but she hoped that if wouldn't change their friendship. She liked Neji a lot and thought it would be nice to be a couple, but she'd never had a boyfriend. How would she act around him? "Tenten," Hinata's voice brought Tenten out of her thoughts.
"Oh, sorry Hina, nothing's wrong." She said, smiling at her best friend. The flap of the tent opened and Temari, Ino and Sakura entered.
"Tenten, why did you suddenly go bright red and run?" Temari asked as she sat down near the entrance. It was a tight squeeze to fit all the girls in, but they managed it.
"Tenten, are you sad about us all having boyfriends. Because if you feel like we're not spending as much time with you, then just say." Sakura began.
"Yeah," Ino continued. "And if there's something you want to tell us, like you've got a boyfriend or a crush, then we're all ears. Or if it's about Neji or something." At the mention of Neji's name Tenten, if possible, blushed even harder.
"There's something about Neji," Temari screamed, jumping up and down.
"Shh, he'll hear you," Tenten hissed, bringing her finger to her lips.
"Don't worry, the boys have gone to get fire wood. So tell us what happened with Neji?" Tenten started at all of her friends before taking a deep breath.
"Fine, but please be quiet," they all nodded so Tenten continued. "Well when we were walking over here, Neji kind of asked me out."
"You said yes right?" Ino asked.
"Well I was going to, but you all interrupted us." Tenten replied.
"Oh, we're sorry Tenten, but don't worry. You've got all night to talk about it. We'll make sure you get some alone time." Tenten nodded, blushing slightly. She felt loads better now her friends knew about it. She also felt that maybe they could go out. It shouldn't be too weird.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
The sky was completely back and all you could see for miles around was tiny lights flickering. People obviously were still awake like the 10 friends that sat around there own fire.
"Truth or Dare?" Ino asked Sai, who was sitting next to her. They'd been playing the game for about 10 minutes now and each of them had had a go.
"Dare," Sai replied blankly, looking down at Ino.
"Ok, I dare you to strip down naked and go to the well to get water, because we've out."
"But the well's in the middle of the campsite," Sai protested, gaping at Ino.
"I know, don't worry I'll come with you." Ino stood and waited for Sai to as well.
"Ino, you know you're a devil." Sai muttered standing. Ino just smirked at him as she watched him strip down to nothing. He covered himself with his hand and the two walked off into the far campsite. They were on the outskirts of the campsite next to a nice wood.
"I can't believe he just stripped down in front of me," Tenten said in disgust, her hand over her eyes. Naruto, on the other hand, was cracking up.
"I bet some people will throw things at him," he said, leaning against Hinata laughing his head off.
"He has got some guts," Sasuke agreed, looking off in the direction Sai and Ino had left. The group waited for about 10 minutes until Sai and Ino finally returned, Ino holding a bucket of water. Sai, however, was soaking wet.
"What happened to you?" Itachi asked, laughing slightly.
"Some old tramp at the well though it was inappropriate of me to walk around like this, so she threw a bucket of water over me." Sai moaned, re-taking his seat.
"Please put some clothes on," Tenten moaned, again covering her eyes.
"I can't, I'll get them wet." Sai replied. Ino sighed loudly before she walked into her tent and came out second later with two towels. She wrapped one around Sai's body and put the other on his head.
"At least put pants on Sai," she said, handing him his boxers. He agreed and shoved them on, before sitting back next to his girlfriend.
"My turn, Temari truth or dare?"
"Truth," Temari replied, waiting for her question. Sai smiled.
"Ok, well as Itachi won't tell me, have you two had sex?" everyone turned to look at the pair and waited for Temari's answer.
"Oh god Sai, we haven't even none each other that long. What sort of a slag do you think I am?"
"Sorry Temari, I was just wondering. I guess you haven't then." Sai replied, feeling kind of bad for assuming.
"Oh no we have. I just didn't want you guys to think you could all have sex just because we have." Temari grinned.
"Temari-sempai, you are a slag," Ino laughed, earning a smack on the head from Temari herself.
"Ino, I'm legal to have sex." She said in a demanding tone.
"I am too, or did you forget it was just my birthday."
"Does that mean you've have sex?" Sakura gasped, starting at her best friend.
"No, course not. I was just saying that if I wanted to, it's legal. Anyway, I'm waiting till I find the right person."
"Is Sai not the right person?" Tenten asked.
"Listen girls, I know this is a girly talk, but I'm sitting right here." Sai said, stopping the conversation. "Now, Temari you pick who you want to ask."
"No, Sai I want to know Ino's answer," Tenten replied.
"Fine, but I'm going to sit in the tent. I can't be bothered to talk about girl stuff." With that Sai stood, walking over to the tent him and Ino shared.
"Tenten, you idiot," Ino snapped.
"What did I do?"
"You don't talk about stuff like that in front of your boyfriend. That's girl stuff. Of course I want to lose my virginity with Sai, but you don't tell them that. It puts pressure on them." Ino stood and walked over to her tent, going in after Sai.
"Well how would I know, I've never had a boyfriend." Tenten said defensively.
"Don't worry Tenten, Sai's the jealous type," Itachi said reassuringly. Tenten just sighed, lying back on the grass. She didn't know anything about boys. She thought that they'd want to know stuff like that, not that it would annoy them or put pressure on them.
"Tenten, don't be sad," Hinata said, lying next to her. "Boy's are hard."
"I always though boys where the easier sex, that girls were the difficult ones, but I guess I was wrong. Wouldn't you rather someone told you they wanted to lose their virginity with you?"
"I'm not sure, but maybe Sai's sensitive about that stuff. Like maybe he was scared that Ino would say Sai wasn't right for her." Tenten turned to look at Hinata and she smiled at her.
"Hinata, you're so smart."
"No, maybe just observant." Tenten laughed, which made Hinata also laugh. Naruto came over to them and sat at Tenten and Hinata's feet.
"What you laughing at?" he asked in a sing song voice.
"Nothing, just Hinata," Tenten replied, smiling widely. "She's just cheering me up."
"Oh, well Hinata I was just wondering if you wanted to go for a walk."
"A walk?" Hinata repeated, looking confused.
"Yeah, when me and the guys went to get fire wood we saw this little lake. I think it'll look really pretty at night. Want to come and have a look with me?" Hinata blushed a little and turned her head towards Tenten who nodded eagerly.
"Erm, sure I'll come Naruto-kun." Hinata stood up from the ground and walk side by side with Naruto into the woods away from the campsite. Tenten too sat up.
"Where are they going?" Temari asked, looking after them.
"I don't know, but I want to follow them," Tenten replied, looking after them with a mischievous grin.
"Just go but don't spy for too long."Temari giggled.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" Sasuke question.
"Oh I won't spy for too long." Tenten said before walking away after them. She walked into the woods and followed the sounds of Naruto's loud voice. It wasn't hard to find them. They were sitting by a little stream on a few rocks. Tenten crouched behind a bush and watched them closely.
"Wow, it's so pretty," Hinata muttered, staring off into the stream. The moon and stars reflected themselves off of it and Tenten had to admit it looked really pretty.
"It looks more beautiful now than it did earlier." Naruto commented, not looking at the stream but at Hinata. "I knew you'd like it." Hinata turned her face towards Naruto and smiled, blushing slightly.
"Thanks you for bringing me," she looked down at her hands, which were placed in her lap. "I'm glad I came here with you."
"You know Hinata-chan, I'm glad you're not distant with me anymore. You where so shy before, but now you're acting more like yourself. It makes me happy." Hinata blushed completely, still looking at her hands.
"I'm sorry if you thought I was rude. I was just really embarrassed."
"You weren't rude and you shouldn't be embarrassed." Naruto grabbed one on Hinata's hands that was in her lap and held it in his. With the other hand he pulled her chin up to face him. Hinata was completely red in the face. Tenten awed silently. They were so cute together.
"But you saw me...after he..." Hinata didn't need to finish her sentence but Naruto and Tenten knew what she meant.
"Hinata, I don't care. I could kill that basted for what he did to you. I also know you embarrassed about me seeing you like that, but even so, you're still the most beautiful person in the world to me."
"Naruto-kun," Hinata's eyes were wide and she looked completely shocked.
"Hinata, I love you." Naruto leant forward and pressed his lips against Hinata's. Tenten felt her eyes go wide with shock too. She really wasn't expecting that. Hinata obviously wasn't either as she looked really shocked, but she soon closed her eyes and kissed Naruto back. Tenten took this as a good time to leave. She crept away and back thought the woods. She couldn't believe Naruto had told Hinata he loved her. It was the sweetest thing ever. She walked back into the campsite, where only Temari, Itachi and Neji where sitting. Tenten went and sat back next to Neji.
"What's up," Tenten said acting completely normal.
"Nothing, we're just talking about sex, what did Naruto and Hinata get up to?" Temari replied.
"Not much, what are you talking about sex for?" Tenten answered, decided not to tell anyone about Naruto and Hinata. They'd tell people when they wanted people to know.
"Oh, we were talking about Neji's first time."
"Neji's first time?" Tenten repeated, glancing sideways at him, but he didn't look at her.
"Yeah, he says it was the biggest mistake of his life." Itachi commented, nodding his head towards Neji.
"Really, you think it was a mistake?" Tenten asked, not taking her eyes off Neji. He didn't reply, just nodded. "How come?"
"He says that he wishes he had waited for someone special, someone that he loves."
"Then why did you do it?" Tenten wasn't talking to Temari or Itachi, but to Neji. She kept her gaze on him, even though he looked in the opposite direction.
"We're off to bed," Temari suddenly announced. Her and Itachi stood and walked over to the tent they shared. "Night."
"Night," Tenten muttered, still not taking her eyes off Neji. She didn't know why it bothered her so much, but she really wanted to know. "Neji?"
"I did it because everyone else was, ok?" he turned to look at Tenten. "Everyone was and it was the right thing to do, so I did it."
"But who with?"
"Some girl, I don't even remember her name. It was so stupid. I wish I'd waited, like Naruto has. He says he'd wait for someone he loves. It would have been better if I'd done that too." Tenten was unsure of what to say. Neji look sad, almost disappointed with himself.
"Neji, you shouldn't hold any regrets. Ok, so you won't have a first time again, but when you do it with someone you love, it will be your first time with them. That will make it special."
"Tenten, you're amazing. You always know what to say at the right times. That's one of the things I like about you." Tenten blinked slightly as Neji locked eyes with hers. "You haven't had sex right?" Tenten shock her head and Neji smiled. "Good, cause the thought of you with another guy makes me feel sick."
"Why?" Tenten asked, although it was rather obvious. Neji smirked.
"I'll show you," he placed his hand on Tenten's check and brought himself closer to her. Tenten was rather nervous when he came closer, but she didn't mind too much. She wanted Neji to kiss her. "I hope you don't mind," Tenten shock her head just before Neji pressed his lips against hers. Tenten closed her eyes and tried to relax as she was rather tense. She'd never kissed anyone after all. Neji's lips were soft against her own. It was a short and sweet kiss, but when they pulled back Tenten was bright red. Neji's checks were slightly tinted pink as well. They both stared into each other's eyes and Neji opened his mouth to speck, when they heard Naruto's voice coming from the woods. Him and Hinata where coming back. Tenten quickly pulled herself away from Neji, standing from the ground and walking to stand by her tent. Naruto and Hinata approached from the bushes, both smiling and hands linked together.
"Hey guys," Naruto said loudly and Hinata ssshed him, giggling slightly.
"I'm off to bed," Tenten announced, turning to get in her tent. She looked back at Neji before she did, however, and he smiled at her. She returned the smile, before going into the tent. When she did, she laid down on top of her sleeping bag and looked up at the top of her tent. She couldn't believe Neji's kissed her. It was amazing and scary at the same time. She also, however, didn't know whether it was the right thing to do. She was scared that them having a relationship would ruin their friendship if they ever broke up. Tenten let out and deep sigh and gently brought her fingers to her lips. Whether it was the right thing to do or not, that was definitely the best first kiss she could have asked for.
