Tenten walked into the kitchen after getting dressed to find Neji stood there wearing an apron
"Having fun?" Tenten raised an eyebrow
"Yes, sit down" Neji pointed over at the table that had food on, not long after Tenten sat down Neji joined her
"So, are you going to the hospital?" Neji asked picking up his chopsticks
"Yeah, I can't be ill for Sakura's wedding can I?" Tenten muttered before shovelling rice into her mouth
"Well that is true, are you going to slow down?" Neji asked as he watched his fiancé eat like there was no tomorrow
"What? Why?" Tenten asked looking up
"Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the assumption that people need to breathe" Neji raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.
"Well, this tastes so good and I'm hungry so shut up" Tenten smiled at him before eating again
"I'm going to go train, when you get back from the hospital tell me what they say" Neji pushed himself up from the table
"Okay, I'll tell you" Tenten didn't look up as he left.
Tenten sat in Sakura's office waiting for her pink haired friend to come back in and tell her what was wrong.
"Okay Tennie" Sakura said looking at the sheet of results in her hands
"So, what's wrong with me?" Tenten asked
"Well, you're not pregnant but you're white blood cells are really high so you're fighting an infection. It looks like you might have the flu or a really strong cold" Sakura looked up
"But why was I sick this morning?" Tenten asked breathing out
"Well, what was the last thing you ate?" Sakura tapped her chin
"I had some rice not long before I got up this morning, I woke up in the night hungry so I ate some of the rice I had in the kitchen"
"How old was the rice?" Sakura asked
"Um, about a day old" Tenten tapped her chin
"That's your answer then, you had food poisoning. If you leave rice out it grows a mould on it that you can't see but if you eat it then you will develop food poisoning"
"So I had food poisoning and have got the flu or a bad cold?" Tenten asked
"Yes, if you want I can proscribe you some medicine" Sakura pulled out a pad and a pen
"Yeah, I'll be going now" Tenten stood up grabbing her coat.
"We'll see you later, Ino wants to go over the finer points of the wedding with us, you'd think it was her wedding again" Sakura laughed
"Yeah, she's had hers it's yours now. Feeling nervous yet?" Tenten asked looked over from the door
"Only a little bit, I'll see you later then" Sakura waved
Tenten pushed her bedroom door shut and fell on her bed. Trust her to have the flu now, only a couple of weeks before Sakura's wedding. Hopefully she would get rid of it in time. Curling up in the covers Tenten slowly fell asleep only to be woken up a couple of hours later by Neji
"Hey, what did Sakura say?" Neji asked brushing her hair of her forehead
"That I've got the flu and I'm fighting an infection" Tenten muttered
"I thought you got that cut on your leg checked?" Neji pulled her leg out from under the covers to find the cut he was talking about. The cut was inflamed and hot while it oozed pus
"I forgot about it, it doesn't hurt" Tenten pulled her leg back
"Well, that's the infection that Sakura's on about" Neji muttered placing a kiss on her forehead
"I don't want to be ill I don't like it" Tenten pouted
"There's nothing you can do about it but stay in bed and get better" Neji pulled the covers back and lay next to her
"But I'm seeing the girls after, Ino wants to go over some of the finer points and seeing as I'm a bridesmaid then I need to be there" Tenten muttered cuddling up to him
"But you're ill" Neji said
"But I can't stay in bed, I need to be there" Tenten smacked his chest only for him to grab hold of her hand as she brought her hand to his chest again
"No hitting, if you do you know what's going to happen" Neji pressed his lips to Tenten's Tenten broke the kiss
"What are you doing?" Neji asked looking at her
"I don't want you to get sick" Tenten turned her head away
"I'm not going to get sick so you know what we could do that might make you better" Neji pressed his nose into the crook of her neck
"What part of I don't want you to get sick don't you get?" Tenten laughed
"Tenten" Neji breathed
"No, not going to happen now I'm going to have a nap, go and see the girls after and then I'll ask Sakura to fix my leg now goodnight Neji" Tenten leaned over and placed a quick kiss on his lips before turning over and falling asleep
