Sweet, Innocent Hinata-Chan (COMPLETE!!!!!)

(A/N: OKAY! I couldn't resist this next chapter, but whenever I think of Neji and TenTen together, I just instantly think of this song! SORRY!!!!!! Anyway, the song's tune only lasts for about the first ten minutes of this chapter, lol)

(Earlier that day...)

TenTen listened to the sweet sound of the rain from her bathroom as she soaked in the large, bubble bath. Several scented candles were the only thing, beside the window, giving some illunination in the room. Her ox-tailed hair was taken down as it drifted into the bathtub, floating around her. She sighed in pure content as the sweetest lyrics she'd ever heard wafted in her ears...

"...We got the afternoon,
You've got this room for two,
One thing now left to do,
Discover me, discovering you...
One mile to every inch of,
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue..."

TenTen could only giggle, looking at Neji who was sitting opposite of her in the bathtub, his long, black hair draping over his shoulders. He blushed a little with a smile, looking up at TenTen as she sat opposite of him. She knew well of the fact that at any given moment, he could be called to a mission by Tsunade...and of all days, nonetheless. It was their three year anniversary today and if he had to leave, he wanted to make TenTen feel like the most special woman in Konoha. TenTen noticed his sudden attention at the water, his pale blue eyes resonating with a slight sadness. The water shifted when TenTen put herself on her knees and began to crawl towards him. Her soft voice rang in his ears, making him look up as she crawled towards him.

"...And if you want love, we'll make it,
Swim in a deep sea of blankets,
Take all your plans and break em,
This is bound to be a while...
Your body is a wonderland,
Your body is a wonderland..."

He smiled, reaching out and gently stroking the side of her face. She blushed, but smiled nonetheless.

"TenTen...Will you miss me?"

"Don't ask such questions, Neji-Kun! Of course I will!"

"I'm sorry that they schedualed me for this damn mission today. You've enjoyed yourself so far, haven't you?"

She smiled warmly at him. Though he didn't show it to anyone else besides herself and Hinata, Neji was a genuinely sweet and considerate person. Especially to her. This morning had been the best...He'd tried (and failed) making her breakfast in bed which ended up with both of them trying to clean food off the walls and ordering in. They had lounged around in bed for the majority of the day until Neji surprised her with a bubblebath filled with rose petals. Now, here they were. She pressed her chest to his own and kissed him softly, breaking away a little when she felt his erection between her legs. She blushed and he whispered against her lips,

"Do you want to...?"

She nodded, with a small blush. Even though they'd done it plenty of times, they were both shy and he was always careful to ask her if she was in the mood. Neji, despite his harsh demeanor and fading supieriority complex, was a very gentle lover. Very. He smiled, blushing a little as he kissed her softly, spreading her legs as she hovered over him. He pulled her a little closer until she was sitting directly over him. Slowly, he lowered her down onto his hard member until he was completely sheathed inside of her. She whimpered a little, adjusting to his massive size and tried not reminding herself that that thing inside of her was what made Neji as proud as he was. She braced herself by grabbing the back of the tub over Neji's shoulders before they both started moving, splashing water off to the side. She looked at Neji with a blush and whispered,

"Please...let's get out...I really want to feel you inside of me, Neji-Kun..."

She lifted herself off of him, noticing the soft, white rug on the floor of the bathroom. It wasn't wet and was still covered in a few stray rose petals.

"Neji,"

He looked at TenTen as she sat down on the soft rug with a blush.

"I don't think I can wait..."

Neji stood up out of the tub, his black hair clinging to his hard body, making TenTen want him even more. He kneeled down to where she was sitting, capturing her mouth in a searing kiss before turning on his back, quickly impaling her with his sex. Her eyes widened and she screamed to the ceiling as he placed his hands on her thin hips, bouncing her up and down. He opened his eyes, clenched tight from pleasure, seeing his teammate and lover above him. Her long, brown hair was trailing down her back and clinging to her curves, her eyes were heavy and a few rose petals clung to her body. Her breasts bounced with every thrust and he almost lost it completely just staring at this woman, aged eighteen years perfectly into the goddess she'd become.

"Neji...! Neji-Kun...! I'm gonna..."

He thrust hard and deep into her, feeling her muscles constrict around his cock as she came. Her juices slowly, flowing out of her as they coated his member. Panting heavily, her entire body racked with her orgasm, she braced her hands on his chest, her breathing hard and heavy.

"Neji..."

He smirked a little and with amazing speed and swiftness, was standing up, holding TenTen close to him, his member still deep inside of her.

"Ah...! Neji-Kun..! I'm gonna fall!"

"I'll support you."

He backed her up against the cold tiled wall, thrusting deeper into her. She screamed his name until tears started cascading down her cheeks, as she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Neji grit his teeth, loving the soft, tight feeling of his woman. He'd never felt so possessive over something, someone, in his entire life. He opened his eyes once more, looking at TenTen through half-slit eyes. Her brown eyes were locked with his, lost completely in pleasure as she was captured between his body and the wall. Neji grunted slightly, barely whispering TenTen's name as he could feel his own release near. He looked at TenTen, knowing he'd never come inside of her without permission. TenTen, always afraid of letting a man take her so completely and wholly scared her. But...as she looked in his eyes, what truly scared her was knowing that he just might not come back from this mission. She locked her lips with his whispering,

"It's okay...you can cum inside of me, Neji-Kun..."

He captured her lips once more, his tongue invading her mouth as he finally released himself deep inside of her, TenTen moaning, nearly screaming against his mouth as she felt her orgasm take her over, but also relished in the fact that finally, she and Neji were one. They both broke the kiss, gasping and panting heavily and TenTen blushed, looking at him when she could feel his hot cum slowly drip down the inside of her thigh.

"Are you hurt, TenTen...?"

"Ie, I'm fine. That was very...amazing...." She panted.

He blushed a little but smiled as well. He let her down, watching as she nearly collapsed to the floor, his seed still pouring out of her. She blushed and looked at him.

"Do...you still wanna take a...?"

Before she could finish, she was back in his arms, however, he gently carried her to the bathtub full of warm water and sweet-smelling scents. He lowered her into the tub first before getting in himself. Both sighed, but TenTen crawled over to him, feeling more comfortable as she sat between his legs. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, kissing the back of her still damp hair. She could feel his heartbeat against his strong, hard chest and looked into the water, seeing the somewhat distorted image of them. Neji's eyes were closed as he embraced her from behind with a small sigh. His black hair draped over her shoulders as if it were her own, yet her own, brown hair seemed to mix with his.

"Neji."

"Hmm?"

"Come back...alive, dammit."

"TenTen..."

He watched her lower her head a little as small tears cascaded down her face, dripping into the water. Neji sighed, turning her head to look at him.

"I have only one reason for returning to Konoha at all..."

"Neji..."

Before he could kiss her, they heard a knock coming from the door downstairs. They both sighed and Neji rested his forehead against TenTen's own.

"I'll...get ready. Will you...?"

She nodded with a sigh and stood up, exiting the tub. She simply grabbed a pure, white yukata that went barely below her knees and with a sigh, opened the door. The smell of rain instantly overcame the scent of the bathtub and scented candles. Sasuke stood there, obviously a little surprised by TenTen's state of dress and the fact that because it looked as if she'd just come out of the bathtub or shower. Her breasts could be somewhat seen through her wet, white yukata. He cleared his throat.

"Well, I've never seen you with your hair down."

TenTen smiled and bowed her head.

"How are you today, Sasuke-San?"

"Eh. I've been better. Is Neji...?"

"He's just getting ready. Would you like to come in for some tea...?"

Before he had a chance to decline, she turned and headed for the kitchen. Sasuke sighed, closing the door behind him and followed TenTen. She smelled unbelievably sweet and there were definitely some aphrodisiacs in whatever she bathed in. He was lead into the living room and asked to sit down while she prepared the tea. He looked around Neji and TenTen's living room. It was a tatami room with sliding paper doors, but oddly enough, it had a fireplace and a mantle. Sort of an East meets West appeal to it. On the mantle, while he sat down at the kotatsu (heated table) he noticed there were a few pictures of TenTen and Neji, from when they were little babies to toddlers, to when they were first assigned on the same team...They had a ton of pictures of friends and family. TenTen re-entered the room with a small tray of tea and served it to Sasuke before sitting down herself.

"Here you are, Sasuke-San. It's a special blend from China."

"Thanks."

He sipped the tea, feeling it instantly warm his insides, freeing him from the cold bite of the rain, if only for a moment. TenTen sat across from him and smiled at him. Sasuke blushed a bit, pouting. TenTen looked maybe ten years older than she really was with her hair done and wearing such a revealing yukata. She sat down her cup and smiled.

"So, how is Sakura-Chan...?"

"Not happy."

"Well, I could see that..."

Neji slid the doors to the living room open and TenTen smiled a little. Neji was dressed in a simple pair of black kimono pants and a white kimono top, similar to what he used to wear, but it had no affliliation with the Hyuuga clan.

"Neji-Kun...! Would you like some tea before you leave?"

"No, that's okay. Sasuke-Sama, let's go."

"Wait! Are you sure you wanna go so soon?!" TenTen asked, standing up quickly.

Sasuke looked at Neji who sighed.

"I'll wait for you outside, Neji. Don't forget, we gotta go get Shikamaru."

Sasuke left, closing the door, instantly hearing TenTen scream at Neji.

"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO!?"

"TENTEN! I'm a YANNIN!"

"The hell with being a Yannin! A TRUE shinobi puts his love first!"

Neji quickly went after TenTen, grabbing her face tightly between his hands, glaring at her.

"TENTEN! Don't you know I'm doing this for YOU?!"

"You say that now, but all you want is the glory of coming back from a deadly mission...!"

He thrust her backwards until she tripped, falling backwards. She looked up at him and he sighed.

"Stop being such a brat. Do you think I want to be away from you...?! After all we've been through?"

TenTen sat up in a sitting position. She swallowed hard before getting on her knees, bowing her head so it was touching the ground and placing her fingertips together.

"Please...Neji...don't go. I'm BEGGING you."

Neji's eyes widened...she was subjecting herself to the most humiliating way of begging...Even to stop him from going on this mission. He balled up his fist and grit his teeth.

"TenTen...I'm sorry."

He slid open the door, closing it behind him. TenTen's head quickly snapped up, tears falling down her face. She remained on the floor, crawling into a fetal position almost as she buried her head in her arms and cried.

"Neji...you're such a fool..."

It had been almost two hours later when she'd managed to compose herself and clean up bathroom and such. She looked out of the window, seeing it was still raining. She sighed heavily, going into the bedroom and laying down on the bed. She was so exhausted...Probably from crying for so long and then suddenly doing housework. She was on the brink of falling asleep when she heard a gentle knock on her door. She almost didn't answer it, but when it got more persistent, she stood up and headed to the front door. She opened it without so much as a second thought, seeing a rain-torn Neji standing there, panting heavily.

"Ne....Neji....!"

"Tsunade said we couldn't see any of our loved ones before we left, but after..."

He sighed, untying his hair with his favorite white ribbon and despite the fact it was wet, he tied it around her own hair, forming, for the first time, a single ponytail tied at the end exactly like his. TenTen resisted any urge to cry, but she couldn't help it. She fell against his chest, sobbing.

"Neji...! I'm so sorry...! I just can't stand the fact that you...!"

He tilted her head, silencing her with a gentle kiss. Be broke the kiss, his power-blue eyes soft and gentle.

"Keep that for me, okay? I've had that ever since I was a kid. Since you have that, you'll know I'm coming back."

She played with the soft ribbon tied into her hair and sighed softly. He kissed her once more and whispered,

"I love you, TenTen...please...believe me."

She nodded as he kissed her forehead.

"I do, Neji..."

He sighed, noticing his friends were starting regroup in the distance. He kissed TenTen once more and sighed.

"I'll be back...I promise."

She could only nod and watched as he and his friends left Konoha. She bit her lip, refusing to cry. She untied the ribbon from her hair and tying it fasionably around her neck until it made a little bow in the back. She was staring out of the window a few hours later when she noticed someone fall face first into the mud a short distance away from her house. The girl was dressed in nothing more than a t-shirt. TenTen sighed, grabbing an umbrella and headed towards her. It wasn't until she heard the voice crying in anguish for Shikamaru Nara that she recognized the mud-caked girl.

"Temari..."

After persuading Temari that she wasn't the only one hurting from her lover being dispatched, TenTen invited her to go and see Hinata. Reluctantly, the proud Temari agreed, never wanting to let anyone see her weakness, especially over a man. As they walked, Temari standing close by her beneath the unbrella, she sighed.

"TenTen-San..."

"Hmm?"

"He just left me without saying a word. He just left one of his stupid earrings."

TenTen looked at Temari with a small sigh, but managed a smile.

"Temari-Sama..."

Temari looked at the younger kunoichi who had stopped walking completely. With eyes filled with hope, TenTen looked at Temari and sighed.

"It means...he'll come back. Shikamaru is never seen without wearing BOTH of his earrings...So, consider this a promise to you he'll come back."

Temari looked at the ground, tears pouring down her face.

"It's just...so hard to deal...He just left when I fell asleep! I..."

She saw TenTen begin to cry once more and watched her wipe her continually falling tears away.

"TenTen...?"

"Gomen ne, Temari-Sama...I just wish..."

TenTen covered her eyes with her free hand and whimpered,

"I just wish Neji had done the same thing...because then maybe...I wouldn't be hurting as much..."

TenTen was the one to fall to her knees and cry this time around. Temari held the umbrella as she kneeled down beside her formal rival and sighed. TenTen cried a little harder and whimpered.

"And...and I couldn't stop him from leaving, either...! That's the worst part...!"

Temari closed her eyes, putting her arm around TenTen and praying that both Shikamaru and Neji returned safely and their promises to return...would not go unfufilled.

"Temari-San?! TenTen-Chan...?!" a panicked voice asked.

Both girls saw Hinata running towards them, an umbrella in hand. She quickly held it over the two girls without any regard for her own health, dispite the fact she'd just been released from the hospital.

"Are you girls okay?! Why are you out here in the rain?"

When Hinata saw the crushed looks on the girls' faces, she could only sigh herself.

"Why...don't you two girls come with me? Sakura-Chan is already at my home."

They looked at Hinata as she smiled, knowing that her smile was genuine, but sad. It was then, as the two girls picked themselves off of the ground that they realized...Hinata must have been suffering far more than any of them combined.
