Chapter 4: (Tenten and Neji)

Neji tied the mistletoe to the branch and looked down at Hinata. "Is this good?"

"A little lower so he can notice," Hinata said.

Neji groaned. It was either way to high or way to low. Women. The reason Hinata wasn't stuttering was because Naruto wasn't anywhere near then at the moment. This was something Hinata had planned so that way she could finally have her kiss. Neji apparently had to help, cousin code or something like that. He had agreed, but he had no idea it would take an hour to find the "prefect spot" and then find the "perfect branch" and have it at "perfect height" and this was way to much for the male Hyuga. He was just about to give up and have her do it herself when she yelled stop.

"That's perfect!"

"Finally," Neji groaned, jumping down. "Anything else?"

She shook her head. "No... Oh! Tenten told me to tell you to meet her at the training grounds."

"Probably wants to give me her Christmas present early," Neji said, walking away, not noticing the knowing smile on his younger cousin's face as he walked by.

He didn't shiver at the cold breeze, in fact he was just fine with the cold. The way his relatives kept the house, this was warmer. For reasons he couldn't possibly fathom nor understand his family had it ten to twenty degrees higher or lower than the temperature outside. If it was hot outside, it was hotter inside, if it was cold outside, it was colder inside. That was why he went over to other's houses or trained outside or went on missions whenever possible. He wasn't complaining, he'd grown up that way, but it did get annoying when he was sick and luckily this Christmas he wasn't sick. He went to the training grounds and saw that Tenten was shivering from the cold and he took off his light jacket and draped it on her shoulders.

"Tenten, you know better than to stand in the cold without a jacket," Neji scolded.

"Who are you to talk?"

"Have you ever lived at the Hyuga compound?" he asked seriously.

"No," she said, dragging out the 'o'.

"Then you don't realize that this is warm compared to inside of my house. What did you want me for?"

"Oh, um..." She dug through her pockets before revealing a small box. "Merry Christmas Neji."

He blushed before he took it gently. "Thank you."

"Well? Open it then hold it above your head," she ordered.

A strange request, but he wasn't going to argue with the kunoichi. He slowly opened the box, taking care in not ripping the paper, but did so anyway. He opened the lid and reached inside and pulled out the one thing he didn't expect. A mistletoe. He held it above their heads, observed it for a second before realizing the tradition and he looked down at Tenten with a furious blush on his cheeks that would put Hinata to shame. He didn't think as he pressed her lips to hers and soon he dropped the mistletoe and held her in his arms.

He pulled away. "How about I give you a different Christmas present than what I was going to give you?"

"What's the new present?"

He pressed his lips to hers once more and her question was answered.

Ali: And that's why I put you and Jiraiya together.

Tsunade: *nods* Okay, perfectly understandable.

Ali: *sighs in relief* So that's that! I've got more chapters on the way! Please, of please review!

Tsunade: You heard the girl. otherwise she'll be in my office complaining. Review.

ALi: be nice!

Tsunade: Do you want your iPod back?

Ali: YOU took it?

Tsunade: At least let the readers leave before we continue this conversation.

ALi: *leads you readers out* Bye, have happy holidays and may the best day of this year be the worst day of next year (basically wishing a happy new year)!
