Chapter 8 of my collection

Thank you for the wonderful reviews! Umm… in this one-shot Sasuke comes back. This takes place age… 17? 18?


Inner Tenten banged her head on walls surrounding her, inwardly cursing her stupidity.

I mean, she waited till the last moment to find someone to pretend to be her husband for a mission. And Tsunade was giving her the option of CHOOSING her own partner for this mission this time. She'd asked Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, and nearly all of the single shinobi and people she wouldn't get awkward around.

Lee, Neji, and Naruto were on a mission.

Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Sasuke all said no.

"Tenten, what's wrong and why do you look depressed?"
"Oh hey Neji… I'm supposed to go on a mission tomorrow pretending to be a married couple with someone and I get to choose my partner and everyone I asked said no profusely…"

A smirk appeared on Hyuuga Neji's face, "That's because everyone in Konoha knows you are mine."
"WHAT?!? SINCE WHEN AM I YOURS?!?"

"Since I told them to stay the hell away from you because you are mine…"
"AND WHEN WAS THAT?!?"

"Some time ago…"
"WELL NOW YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME ON MY NEXT MISSION… AS MY ONLY OPTION!"
"Hn. I just got back and I have a meeting with Hiashi tomorrow."
"WELL TOO BAD!"

"If I say no?"
"You don't want to know what I'll do if you say no…"
At this Tenten glared.
She was not going to refuse a mission out of the pure fact no one would go with her.

"I say no."
"Fine."

She leaned up to Neji but stopped a second away knowing Neji was too shocked to do anything, and pulled back.

At this she walked away, "I'll just ask Tsunade-sama to send me Subaku no Kankurou."
At this Neji's eyes widened as he walked after her, "No wait! I'll go with you!"


Jealous and possessive Neji… haha.

I rather like this one. Oh and ya I think you can assume they're dating… but Neji never told Tenten he "claimed her". Well… they can also NOT be dating. Hm. Your choice!
