Herbody

Neji huffed as he sat himself on the edge of the bed. They were fully capable of handling almost any situation the enemy threw at them...but that was just egregious. If they would have done it his way, they'd still be out there. But they did it her way so they weren't there all night. He should've grabbed her back when he had the chance. But the mission comes before anything else. And besides, it's not like she'd listen to him anyway.

A few moments later his partner walked into the room, still in that god damn skimpy dress with red pumps. She didn't put back on her fish nets, and her hair was in a messy curly ponytail. She padded over to her bag and removed the hidden blade from her thigh.

"You're still up?" She hummed.

Neji grunted.

Tenten rolled her eyes and took off her pumps. Wiggling her toes, she let out a grateful sigh. She had a slight pep in her step, he noticed. She bent over close her bag, her backside now present to the Hyuga. He glanced, even though he was still angry with her; he couldn't help it.

"I'm going to go shower." She announced before leaving to the next room.

The Hyuga glared in her direction. Not even an apology for just jumping the gun? Neji was now heated. Her means of getting information was useful, granted by her job as a female ANBU. But he hated that. The thought of another man even looking at her with a sliver of interest peeved him. It was his jealousy talking now; the idea that some scum bag glazed upon her soft tan skin, and landing kisses on her neck and face made him furious. It was their job, he reminded himself in an attempt to calm down..

"Ahh..." Tenten walked out the bathroom in a towel, which she dropped into a basket and walked toward their bags.

Neji's eyes lingered. What the fuck is that?! His eyes sharpened as he noticed bruises on her thighs and breasts. That bastard was too rough on her, he clenched his jaw. Not only that, she allowed him to toy with her. The Hyuga balled his hands into fists as. This wouldn't have happened if she would just listen to him. She may not be affected my it, but he always hated when this happened. This time, though, he was furious because she didn't have to. Tenten stood in front of a mirror and combed her curly damp locks. She noticed her partner looking at her and turned around.

And that's when Neji stood.

He walked over to her and looked at her neck. I'm going to kill that son of a bitch, he grimaced. There were teeth markings on her neck that were black and blue.

"He was a bit rough. But I was able to-"

"Your body is disturbing." He hissed.

Tenten was taken aback. She blinked at him. This wasn't ANBU Lieutenant Hyuga talking; this was boyfriend of four years Neji talking. He was heated, she noticed. His face showed clear signs of deadly intent to kill the man she slept with to get information. He grabbed her hips and held her still, looking at the rest of her body for any signs of cuts or gashes.

"Ow... Neji. You're hurting me..." She winced as his grip tightened.

Neji looked up at her and released her.

"Every time this happens, I always frown at how disgusting your body looked after one of these missions...but those times you had to," he turned away from her. "This time you did it willingly, even though I had a plan already th-"

"What the hell do you expect? You had a plan, but I was the one put on the spot. Don't get upset at me just because you didn't get to me fast enough with this plan of yours!" Tenten exclaimed.

Neji paused and took in her words. In a way, she was right. But she still had a choice. He glanced back over at her. Tenten bit her lip as she looked down at her feet. She knew, he thought, that there were other ways. She knew, he turned to her fully, his face going from angered to melancholy. Gently he reached over and brushed his fingertips against her cheeks. He hated when others looked at her. He hated how she looked after these missions.

He hated when she was always right.

His eyes traveled to her lips, which were swollen and pink. The ivory orbs traveled down to her breasts, little markings of biting and sucking were present. His fingers trailed down her collarbone and glazed across her nipples. Tenten bit her lip, unsure of what to do. He was touching her as if she was made of glass that would break instantly if he applied too much pressure. His hands gently held her bare waist; a few more bruises were upon that exotic skin. Those hands slowly went down to her hips. Bruises lay where the bastard has grabbed her to make her in rhythm. Her legs; this long muscular legs that could knock someone out with one round house kick. The Hyuga's fingers gently glazed over the tender red and purple markings.

"I find your body disturbing," he whispered.

She blinked.

"When we go on missions like this."

Tenten mentally sighed. He had finally calmed down. Taking her hands, he gently brought them to his lips and kissed her knuckles. She was only doing her job, he thought. He never thought there would be a day he would put his feelings over his work and act in such a way. But, she was his girlfriend of four years. And he hated to see her look so vulnerable.

"Neji..." She whispered.

He looked at her tired face. Slowly, he leaned in and gently laid his lips on top of hers. His arms wrapped around her bare body and held her tight. He breathed in her shampoo; the smell soothing to him. Tenten pulled back and began to take off his shirt. His bare chest showed scars of numerous battles; many of them she was there for. She pressed herself against him. Neji let go of a breath he didn't realize he was holding and leaned into her hug. The skin to skin contact was something he always enjoyed; even if they weren't making love. It was something about how warm she was, and how soft she felt against him. For her, it was his toned torso that she felt like snuggling against all night long. He was comfortable and his heart beat was always steady; even when he was in one of his moods.

"Neji, how old am I?" She asked suddenly.

"How do you not know your own-"

"Answer the damn question, Hyuga." she rolled her eyes.

Neji tilted his head to the side.

"Twenty."

Tenten took a deep breath. Maybe if she chose her words correctly she won't fuel the fire.

"And how long have you known me?"

"Since the academy." he replied, unsure where this was going.

"So you should know by now I can handle myself."

Neji clenched his jaw at her words.

"Listen," she put a hand on his cheek. "You go shower, and I'll be waiting for you here when you get out. I'll tell you everything I got out of that man."

"Fine."

Sorry this is so short. I haven't updated this in so long!~POG
