-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"I don't know if I can do this," Tenten muttered to the others as they walked towards the hall in St Joseph's School for Boys.
"Why not?" Temari asked. She was leading the way to the hall as she'd visited the school many times. She'd does this for two reasons, one as she was head girl and this school was the neighbouring school they had a lot of connections and two , her brother's attended this school, which she only felt the need to tell the others now.
"I feel like too much of a girl," Tenten replied, looking down at the stunning dress she was wearing.
"We're been through this so many times, Tenten," Ino said, coming to a halt and turning to face Tenten. "You want to be with Neji, well he's waiting in there and you're worrying about looking like a girl. Well, remember Tenten, you are a girl, so shut up and go get you Prince Charming." She grabbed her arm and marched up towards the entrance of the hall, where the disco was being held. Tenten turn and gave a pleading look to the others, but they ignored her and continued walking laughing between themselves.
Ino, however, halted as she came to stand outside the main entrance to the hall. "Someone else go first," she said, looking at the others.
"Why don't you just go," Temari asked.
"Because, I don't want to. But, seeing as you know the place, you should go in." Ino gestured to Temari to walk forward. Temari, who rolled her eyes, walked forward.
"You guys are so pathetic," she mumbled, before swinging the door open and marching in. The others followed behind her.
The hall was decorated amazingly, with balloons, streamers and posters everywhere. There was ghosts and witches hanging from various places. Then, in one corner was a huge castle with a sign reading 'drinks and snack' and then there was a huge sign directed to the outside of the other side of the hall where there was said to be ghost walk and a haunted house.
"Wow, they really out did themselves," Temari commented, looking around the hall.
"Yeah, how come our school never does this?" Tenten muttered.
"Because, they're cheap," Ino replied. "Now, where did the guys say to meet them?"
"By the castle," Sakura said; who checked her phone for the time. "We should probably go meet them now." So they made their way around the dance floor, which was in the middle of the hall, and walked over to the castle where they were giving out drinks. Sai, Itachi, Naruto, Sasuke and Neji where already waiting nearby, drinking drinks and chatting to each other. Sai spotted them and clearly directed to the others that they were here as everyone turned to see them approach.
Sai was in a very funky outfit, which was purple and had a leopard print on it. He also wore a big hat, again purple with a feather sticking out of it. His cheat was exposed and he had a large necklace around his neck. Here was also a cane in his hands, which was black with a golden end. He looked very groovy in his 60's gear.
Next to Sai stood Itachi, who was Dracula. He was dressed in a long black outfit, with a huge red collar and some red material flowing down the front. He was also wearing a star necklace which hung down long on his chest. His face was painted white and he wore fake fangs with fake blood coming down from his mouth.
Then there was Naruto, who was dressed as Aries, god of war. He wore a short white dress, which was tradition in those days, which a deep blue sash across the front. He also wore brown sandals, which had a ribbon that ran up his legs.
After him was Sasuke, who was in the most basic outfit out of all them. A simple batman outfit, with a cape and a mask covering up his face. The suit was made of a leathery material and was rather tight which made his body look great.
Finally was Neji who looked amazing, in Tenten's opinion. He was dressed as prince charming, with his hair pulled back in a long plate. He wore a white shirt, with black trousers which came down to his knee. Knee length socks, with smart black shoes and finally a blue jacket going over the top. Tenten caught his eye as she gave him a small smile as he overlooked her.
"You guys look great," Ino said walking over and kissing Sai gentle on the cheek. "You look good in 60's." She muttered, looking down at his very exposed chest and placing her hand on it.
"You too," he replied, running his hand up naked leg, smirking pleasurable.
"Batman," Sakura said, looking at Sasuke, who snaked his arm around her waist and kissed her gentle.
"I thought you might be dressed as Cat Woman. Good thing you're not because then we'd be enemies." He replied, checking out Sakura's outfit.
"So, are we partners?" She asked and he nodded, kissing her again.
"Does everyone think I'm evil or something?" Itachi asked Temari as she wondered over to him.
"No, why'd you say that?" she asked, looking him up and down.
"Because, everyone else is someone good, but I' m a vampire."
"But a very rouged, sexy one," Temari replied kissing him. He raised his eyebrow slightly and she nodded, smirking.
"Hinataaaaa," Naruto drooled looking over Hinata's sexy outfit and just how gorgeous she looked in it. Hinata just blushed at the way Naruto was reacting. Tenten walked over to Neji, looking at the floor and trying hard not to blush herself.
"Tenten..." Neji said and Tenten glanced up to look up at him. He was staring at her in disbelief.
"What do you think?" Tenten asked, holding up her dress slightly, trying to act completely normal, when really she was so embarrassed to be wearing a dress in front of someone she liked, when normally she'd never been seen in this stupid outfit.
"You look, well, kind of different." Neji looked away from Tenten, cheeks going slightly red. Tenten also looked away, feeling embarrassed and self conscious.
"Don't you look cute," Sai muttered, pushing Tenten slightly. "Ino and Sakura did a good job on you; you actually look like a girl."
"Shut up," Tenten snarled, turning away from the disgusting sight of her brother's chest hanging out. Yuck.
"Well, me and Ino are going our separate ways, so see ya," Sai said, before leading Ino off into another direction.
"Oh, Itachi, come find my brothers with me," Temari said, grabbing Itachi's hand and hopping through the crowd.
"Sasuke, can we go outside to see the stuff out there." Sakura said excitedly jumping up and down like a little kid.
"Come one then," Sasuke muttered, walking towards the exit to the grounds with Sakura. Tenten felt her heart start to race. It was now only her, Neji, Naruto and Hinata and if they left them they'd be all alone, which would most likely be incredibly awkward.
"Hinata-chan, want to dance?" Naruto asked holding a hand out to Hinata. She glanced at Tenten, who shot her a pleading glace, before nodding. "See you two soon," Naruto chirped holding Hinata's hand and walking away into the crowd. Hinata mouthed 'have fun' before smirking and walking away. Tenten felt her mouth drop. They'd all left her and she bet they'd all planned it, them cheeky rats.
"So, want do you want to do?" Neji asked timidly. Timidly? Had Neji ever been timid before in his life?
"I don't mind," Tenten muttered, now giving him her full attention.
"Well, it's quite hot in here, so we could go outside if you want?" He suggested and Tenten nodded, following his lead outside onto their school grounds. The boy's school had a huge grass area, most probably as they played numerous of sports, but even so Tenten wished her own school had more than the one field.
Neji walked off in a different direction then most people were going, into a different section of the fields. It was dark here as there were no lamps to light the way.
"Neji, where are we going?" Tenten asked, stumbling over a large grass patch. They were climbing to the top of the grass hill now, which seemed as if it wasn't supposed to be climbed.
"Up here, you'll see why." Neji replied, reaching out and grabbing her arm to help pull her to the top of the hill which, when Tenten were safely standing on, she gasped slightly. From so high up, with no trees or buildings to block the view, was the perfect place to watch the stars. The sky was completely clear and everything looked completely beautiful. Living in a city they had the disadvantage of never seeing a good night sky, but here it looked great.
"Neji, it's such a nice view," Tenten sighed, moving to sit on the floor. Neji sat next to her gazing up into the sky as well as her.
"I come here sometimes when I decided to skip class. It always makes me feel calm." Neji muttered, now lying back with his arms tucked behind his head. Tenten followed suit. "Aren't you gonna get your dress dirty?" Neji questioned.
"Oh, who cares," Tenten sighed, enjoying the nice view.
"Listen, Tenten, as we're alone do you think we could talk? There are a few things that have been bothering me lately." Neji muttered, voice quite but Tenten caught every word due to the quietness of the evening.
"Ok," she said, slightly anxious and curiously to what Neji was going to say.
"Well, firstly I'm sorry I didn't tell you about your parents. I didn't want to hurt you and...."
"Stop right there," Tenten interrupted, turning on her side to gaze at Neji instead of the sky. Neji did the same, his pale eyes looking deeply into her brown ones. "You shouldn't say sorry, because I was such an idiot about the matter. Of course you weren't going to tell me. That would just make me upset and want revenge. And, while I'm saying how stupid I was, about the time we kissed. You got upset when I asked if we could just be friends, well in truth I didn't mean it. That's what I thought you were going to say, so I lied because I didn't want to get hurt, but in truth I don't want to just be friends with you." Tenten bit her lip slightly, unsure of weather to continue, but she knew now was beyond the perfect time and if she didn't say it now then she never would. "Neji, i really like you, more than friends and I want to be more then friends with you."
Neji blinked as if everything she was saying was taking a moment to pass through his brain. Tenten waited in anticipation, dreading what he might say. Would he return her feelings after she was such a bitch to him, or would he simply turn her away? But then, completely surprising Tenten, Neji grabbed her arm and pulled her over to him, rapping his arms around her body and squeezing her slightly.
"Tenten, I like you too," Was all he said as he hugged her. Tenten blinked, before completely relaxing her head onto this chest and gazed back at the sky.
"That's good then," she smirked, feeling Neji's hand slowing trace through her hair. It was, in her opinion, the perfect confession ever.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
As the slow music came to an end, Hinata lifted her head off Naruto's shoulder to look into his bright blue eyes. He smirked, gentle kissing her. Hinata smiled back, but it was half heartedly. She had to tell him about Orochimaru, or there was no way she could enjoy the evening.
"Naruto-kun, can we go somewhere to talk?" she asked, looking away from his face.
"Sure," Naruto replied in his upbeat voice, clearly unaware that anything was wrong. He took her hand gently the lead her out side, where there was many unoccupied benches. He led her over to one then sat, Hinata sitting opposite him.
"What's up then?" he asked. "I know something's bothering you, so spill," Hinata looked at him slightly surprised.
"You do?" she asked, wondering how as she acted normal and so did Naruto.
"Hinata, I'm your boyfriend and I know you," he smiled, squeezing her hand, which hadn't left hers. Hinata smiled, feeling completely loved and safe with Naruto.
"OK," she muttered, trying to muster up some sort of courage. "I..I-I I ran into Orochimaru," Hinata had said it so fast that she thought Naruto might not have heard, but when she looked at his face she saw he'd heard perfectly.
"What happened?" he asked, face and voice turning completely serious. "Did he hurt you?" Naruto's eyes darted around her body, until they feel on her arm with the bandage on it, which he hadn't even noticed before. So before Hinata could say anything Naruto grabbed her arm, pulled it towards him and quickly unwrapped the bandage. They fell to the floor and Naruto's eyes went red with angry as he saw the red scratch.
"I'm sorry," Hinata muttered, trying not to cry and she knew that her makeup would smudge, which didn't bother her too much, but the fact that Ino would screw after the amount of time she'd spent doing it. "I tried to stop him, but I froze with fear. I tried to run, but he grabbed me and I was so scared." Naruto moved closer to Hinata and stroked her arm.
"Hinata, you've done nothing wrong and don't say sorry. What else did he do, you know" Naruto raised his eyebrows and Hinata got he meant sexually.
"He kissed my neck, than told me to kiss him. If I didn't he said he'd take me to his base and go further, so I had to." now Hinata was crying and she relaxed her head on Naruto's shoulder.
"I love you," Naruto sighed, placing his head on Hinata's and rubbing her back in a comforting manner. "Hinata, from now on I'll always look after you and won't leave you alone. I'll protect you." Hinata nodded and Naruto lifted her head up to face his. Her face had make up running down it, but it didn't look incredibly awful.
"Love you too," Hinata muttered, leaning forward and kissing Naruto lightly. He returned the kiss, placing his hands on her face as Hinata rapped hers around his neck and the kiss slowly turned a bit more passionate.

"So you're Kankuro's girlfriend," Temari smirked, shaking hands with a pretty little blond girl. She questioned just how her brother had gotten a cute girl like her to be his girlfriend.
"Nice to meet you, Temari-san," the girl, Momo, had replied, looking somewhat nervous. Her hand was fragile and Temari pondered whether she could break it from squeezing it too hard.
"Temari, piss off," Kankuro hissed, pushing Temari away from Momo and standing in front of her. "Go dance with Itachi or something." Temari pouted, frowning at Kankuro.
"Don't be rude, I'm trying to get to know your girlfriend and your being arrogant. If you want I could tell her all the embarrassing thing you, like how you play with dolls,"
"Temari, their not dolls!" Kankuro hissed, coming right up to Temari, who even though she was older he held no respect for.
"Temari let's go dance," Itachi said, prying Temari away from Kankuro and Momo and moving her over to the dance floor. "You shouldn't tease him so much," Itachi muttered as he placed his arms around her waist, pulling them closer together for a slow dance.
"You tease Sasuke," Temari said, smiling as she placed her head on Itachi's shoulder. "This is nice. It seems like ages since we've been alone together."
"Sorry, I guess I've just been really busy," Itachi muttered, also enjoying the time they spent together.
"It's okay," Temari replied, lifting her head to look at Itachi. "I'm proud of you," she said, kissing him lightly, before pulling back and smiling. Itachi felt a huge lump of guilt in his chest as he knew that he wasn't completely telling her the truth.
"Hey," Ino beamed, walking over to them with Sai trailing behind her. "We just went through the ghost house, it was really scary." She said, dancing next to the couple as the song changed to an upbeat song and they separated.
"This is coming from the girl who wants to join a gang," Sai muttered, smirking at Itachi as Ino hadn't heard him completely.
"Have you seen any of the others?" Temari asked Ino, letting the boys walked off to talk to some friends as the girls danced with each other.
"Yeah, Hinata and Naruto where making out outside, I think she told him about you-know-who." Temari nodded and Ino continued. "Sasuke and Sakura were talking to some guy Sasuke knew but I haven't seen Neji and Ten."
"Me neither, do you think their alone somewhere," Temari said, smirking slightly. Ino nodded, giving a knowing smile.
"Hey ladies," A brown haired guy said, walking over to Temari and Ino. He was followed by a red-haired friend, who seemed slightly shy. "Fancy a dance?" he asked.
"Sure," Ino said and Temari stared at her.
"What are you doing?" She hissed, so the boys couldn't hear.
"What, they're cute," Ino replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"But we have boyfriends," Temari hinted.
I know," Ino said then turned to the boys. "We'll dance with you, but we do have boyfriends so nothing can happen." She smiled sweetly.
"That's cool," the brown haired said. "I'm Tenco and this is Risuka."
"I'm Ino and this is Temari," She smiled. "Temari, you dance with Risuka-san," and with that she started to dance with the complete stranger. Temari felt completely embarrassed. How could Ino just dance with other guys even though she had a boyfriend? Then, as if by a cruel fate, the song changed to a slow one so there was no way Temari couldn't touch this Risuka boy. She didn't want to hurt his feelings by turning him away, so she smiled friendly.
"So let's dance," she muttered and Risuka nodded, moving closer to her. 'Ino you're so dead' was all Temari could think before she started dancing away with Risuka.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"Hey guys," Sakura said as her and Sasuke walked over to Itachi and Sai. "Where's the girls?" she asked.
"Dancing," Sai mumbled, pointing off onto the dance floor. Sakura stretched her head and saw Ino and Temari dancing with two very handsome boys.
"Who are they dancing with?" she asked curiously, which then brought everyone's attention to them.
"That's Tenco, I hate that guy," Sai spat, growling slightly. "How could Ino dance with him?"
"She doesn't know who he is and anyway, it seems harmless," Sakura said defending her friend's case.
"How come their dancing with other guys anyway?" Itachi muttered, looking completely jealous of the obviously good looking red head.
"Well, you're not out there so who would they dance with?" Sakura said. "It's not like their kissing them, it's harmless." Sai frowned, looking disgruntled.
"Well, it better say harmless or I'll have something to say about it," he muttered, not taking his eyes off of Ino. Itachi said nothing, but too didn't take his eyes off of Temari. Sakura just rolled her eyebrows.
"Hey," Hinata said as her and Naruto joined the group.
"What's up," Naruto said, who had his arm draped around Hinata's shoulder and both looked completely comfortable with each other, which meant that Hinata had definitely told him about Orochimaru.
"Sai and Itachi are panicking because Ino and Temari are dancing with two guys," Sakura muttered.
"Oh, but it's most probably harmless," Hinata said, also looking over to Ino and Temari.
"That's what I said, but the boys disagree."
"Because we know how a guys mind works. Something harmless to a girl might be the completely opposite to the guy. They'll try something on them, or that Tenco will at least," Sai muttered, sipping his drink in a distractive manner.
The song finished and Temari and her boy stopped dancing, Temari said something to him, before walking over in their direction. Ino however continued to dance with Tenco.
"Well, that was awkward," Temari muttered, walking over and leaning against Itachi.
"Didn't you like dancing with that guy," Itachi asked in a pissed off manner. Temari leant off his chest and glared at him.
"Listen, I'm sorry I danced with someone else, but one, you weren't there and two, Ino said I would and I didn't want to offend the boy by saying no." She leant up and kissed Itachi. "Don't be mad," Itachi smiled as he couldn't resist Temari.
"Don't dance with anyone else again, okay?"
"Okay." Temari leaned back up and kissed him again.
"Yuck, get a room," Naruto mumbled, pulling a face as if he was being sick.
"Shut up, from what Ino said you and Hinata weren't bothered making out outside in front of everyone." Temari spat back causing both Hinata and Naruto to go beetroot red.
"Anyway, has anyone seen Tenten and Neji?" Sakura asked and everyone shook their heads. Where had the pair gotten off to?
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Tenten and Neji ran down the huge hill together, trying not to fall at the end, both holding onto each other's hand.
"Want to do and dance?" Neji suggested even though he wasn't the best at dancing.
"Okay," Tenten agreed. They both walked back through the fields toward the gym. They entered the gym to find loads of people dancing about happily with each other to a slow song, which made Tenten's heart skip a beat. Neji stopped walking and turned to Tenten. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling them very close together so all their body was touching. Tenten slowly rapped her own arms around Neji's neck. As she didn't want to break eye contact with him she didn't move her head.
They both started dancing, swiftly moving their bodies so they moved together. It was embarrassing, in Tenten opinion, but also romantic and she kind of wished it would never end. That they could dance all night like this.
"Tenten, I really like you," Neji said, for what was the second time this evening. Tenten blushed slightly, smiling.
"I like you too," she replied, chewing her lip slightly in a nervous manner.
"Don't bite your lip, it makes me want to kiss it," Neji joked, bringing his face even closer to Tenten's so their foreheads touched.
"Then perhaps I should continue," Tenten replied, feeling nervous. She wanted Neji to kiss her, right now more than anything in the world. Then, very slowly, Neji moved his face closer to her, so close she could feel his breath as it tickled her face. He came close and closer until their lips finally met in a gentle and light kiss. When he pulled back his face was slightly flushed and Tenten smiled. He was too cute not to kiss. So she leant forward and placed another kiss on Neji's lips. However this time it was still gentle and sweet but much more passionate.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"I'm back," Ino replied as she walked over to the others.
"Had fun?" Sai asked in a somewhat nasty manner
"Yep," Ino replied walking over and kissing him. "Jealously isn't an attractive look on you hun, so cheer up." She seemed completely unbothered by the fact she'd just dance with another man.
"Ino, you're a whore," Sai joked, rapping his arms around her neck. "And dance with another guy and I'll kill you." She nodded, kissing him.
"Guys," Sakura suddenly shrieked. "Look," she pointed over to one of the corner and everyone eyes followed her. Over, near one corner, was Tenten and Neji dancing together. Not only that, but they were also in the middle of a huge make out session.
"Way to go," Temari cheered.
"Looks like out plan was a success," Sakura said, high fiving Ino.
"Oh god," Sai sighed deeply. "I'm going to have to give him a talking to." everyone turned to Sai and burst out laughing at the serious expression on his face.
So the evening of Halloween was spent with laughter and fun and in the end turned out to be a very enjoyable night. But that wouldn't last long......
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
So Tenten and Neji are finally together, but this is only where it begins. What's in store next ???
