Neji felt humiliated. He glared at the huge white cast wrapped around his foot and crossed his arms, pressing his back harder against the cushy pillows of the hospital bed. Team Gai had just come home from their first real mission and the young Hyuuga prodigy had been the only one to sustain an injury. The only one! And the mission, delivering a scroll, had been so simple too! And worse, Neji had not been injured in battle; he had tripped. Tripped! Hyuugas did not trip.

Lilac eyes shifted from their owner's foot to his two teammates and sensei. Lee and Gai had been babbling non-stop since the doctor had deemed his foot too fractured to completely heal with chakra. Neji swore if he heard the word "youth" come out of their mouths one more time, he would fracture their skulls so bad they could never be healed.

"You must keep up your spirits my youthful (Neji's hand twitched with murderous intent) rival!" Lee shouted, beaming down at him, invading his personal space bubble. Gai nodded enthusiastically. Neji had yet to get used to how similar the two were. As for now, all the rainbows and crying and the amount of emotion these two displayed was just plain disturbing.

Ignoring Lee's attempt to cheer him up, Neji turned to eyeball the third of his visitors: Tenten. The look on her face told him she was ready to kill Lee too, but when her gaze caught his, she gave him a small, comforting smile. It's okay. (Little did he know, Tenten was secretly glad he had gotten hurt. Neji clearly liked to think of himself as the hot stuff. A blow like this could easily level his ego. But judging from the dark aura slowly encasing the room, nothing had changed.)

Neji scowled. It was not okay. When his only female teammate rolled her eyes, he gave her his best glare and then turned his attention to the window. Why did this always happen to him?

"Hey Lee, why don't you and Gai sensei go get us some food? I'm sure it'll really help Neji gain his strength back if he ate something." Tenten's tone was strained and was practically screaming: get out. With a shuffle that sounded suspiciously like the bushy-browed men saluting her and then the door being thrust open like all hell had broken loose, the two disappeared down the hallway in a flurry of green. After a moment of silence, the female spoke:

"You don't have to be so pouty." The hair on the back of Neji's neck stood on end; when had she gotten so close? He dared a glance at her over his shoulder and watched with narrowed eyes as she rolled up her sleeve, revealing white bandages wrapped around her elbow. With a nonchalant shrug she explained, "I cut myself and no, it wasn't during battle."

Neji smirked at this admission. At least he wasn't stupid enough to do that. However, when Tenten caught sight of the amused look on his face (she wanted him to feel better, but not this good), it was her turn to scowl.

"Don't be so pouty," Neji mimicked, his embarrassment slowly seeping away. A solid thwack resounded in the room and the Hyuuga could not recall a time when he had felt such pain. He clutched his head, senses alert, trying to locate his suddenly deranged teammate (she was by the door much to his relief).

"Don't. Push. It. " With one last steely glare, Tenten turned on her heel, nearly ripped the door off its hinges, and stomped out of the room.

Neji felt his ears start to burn again. Damn you fate, damn you.

A/N: Tenten is a boss. That is all. XD
