I know I've been putting off updates. But I'll update more in the summer. I promise.

And I think I've made it up to you. This one is based on Greek Mythology. I read a book based off Greek Mythology in school and… what can I say? I'm interested now. Nejiten.
NEW CONTEST! FIRST PERSON to guess the characters in Greek Mythology Neji and Tenten I roughly based off of… you get your favorite Ino pairing in ANBU Kunoichi And Shinobi, a fic I started writing as a oneshot but… it was much too long. –nod- and had too much multi-fic potential.

Hint: might be a different version told then another popular version.

Also, there are various hints in the story.

Hyuuga Neji, god of love, was practically his aunt's slave. After all, his aunt was not only of the main branch, but she was the goddess of love and beauty.

He knew something was wrong when his aunt called for him.

Apparently, there was a beautiful woman named Tenten that was so beautiful, his aunt was jealous. People had stopped praying to his aunt, thinking Tenten was the goddess of beauty instead.
"Neji, make her fall in love with the ugliest man on earth!" she said, holding up a picture of a man in green spandex and orange legwarmers.

'Gai?' Neji thought to himself, 'Easy'.

He nodded and went on his way.


When he descended to earth to look upon the mortal, he himself was struck by her beauty.

She was shooting arrows into the centers of targets, hitting the bull's-eye every time.

It wasn't her physical beauty that made Neji so attracted but the beauty of her soul.

He fell so in love, he took his own arrow and lay it on her heart and pricked himself, a sign he had fallen in love.


Tenten was sleeping when she heard something. She looked up to see darkness.

"Hello?" Tenten called out.

"Hello," came a deep baritone voice as he sat down.
"Maybe I should go turn on the light," Tenten stated, getting up, wondering who this voice could belong to.

"No," Neji said, grabbing her arm.


Their meetings in the night were steady after that. Neji would rant about the main house and Tenten would tell of her life as a princess and how she wanted to be a kunoichi but her parents wanted her to marry a rich nobleman. Tenten fell in love with Neji as well, even if she never saw him. Neji told her that the day she saw him, the meetings would stop.


One night, her sisters found out and taunted her, saying this man was a monster, waiting to gain her trust before eating her.

She remembered Neji's warnings, however, curiosity won over.

She held a candle out to look upon the man she loved and was shocked to see… a ninja god. The god of love. Neji. She recognized him by the long dark brown hair tied off at the end and Hyuuga robes. She didn't even need to see the lavender eyes. However… a drop of wax dripped off the candle and woke Neji up. He turned his lavender eyes to her and fled.


Distraught, Tenten looked all over the earth for her lover. Then, she decided to go pray to Neji's aunt. Neji's aunt was still angry and made Tenten perform various tasks for her. Soon, Tenten collapsed unconscious of exhaustion. Neji then came and picked her up, taking her to the gods, asking Jiraiya and Tsunade for permission to marry and a blessing. Tsunade and Jiraiya, taken by the story's beauty, allowed the marriage. Hinata then gave Tenten a drink to turn her into a goddess, but when she drank it, nothing happened.

It turned out, Tenten had been the goddess of soul all along.
