Pirate Love

Tenten winced as Neji slammed her back against the door, grasping her shoulders, and stared into her brown eyes, "Tenten, how can I trust you?"

Tenten smirked, "You can't. We're pirates."

Neji frowned slightly, "How can I love you if I can't trust you?"

"Simple. Don't love me," she answered, and wrenched out of his grasp, opening the door.

"Tenten… do you love me?"

She paused and glanced back, but stepped outside onto deck, leaving him to his own thoughts.

"Wait, so what's our mission?" Tenten asked, turning to Sakura.

"Um. Kill the bad guys."

"…Oh."

Tenten sighed and stared out into the ocean, "Piracy is so… troublesome sometimes…"

Sakura giggled, "You sound like Shikamaru now. I guess it is, but it's worth the rewards. I hear, pirate love is hot," she whispered, motioning to Neji.

"Nothing's going on between us."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really."

XxOoOoOoOxX Skip this section if sensitive, it's like rated… mid-T to lower M ish… I mean, it's not lemon or lime, but er. Oh damnit, just skip it if sensitive.

"Neji, you know dragging me into a cabin is getting old now!" Tenten protested as Neji dragged her into a cabin again.

He turned around silently, and stared at her.

He kissed her full on, pulling her closer to him, and he deepened the kiss. He gently bit her bottom lip, requesting an entrance, and showed no mercy when she granted him one.

The brunette moaned into his mouth as she was pressed against a pole, shivers going down her spine.

"Tenten, I repeat," Neji murmured, pulling back, "Do you love me?"

Tenten gasped as she felt him gently kiss the nape of her neck, and shivered when she realized he had managed to discard her top.

How was she expected to think straight when he kept this up?

"Tenten…" he murmured again, as his hand sneaked up behind her and fingered the clasp to her bra.

Tenten pressed herself against him, and bit his neck lightly, "…Maybe, but if you keep this up…"

Neji smirked and unclasped the clasp expertly, causing the brunette to shiver, as now her entire abdomen was bare naked.

"Tenten… do you love me?"

Tenten moaned as he kissed her neck again, "Yes Neji… I love you."

"Then lock the doors, pull down the shades, clear your head of any thoughts, because now," he paused and smiled maliciously, "You're mine."

"We're what?" everyone, consisting of Neji, Tenten, Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Chouji, Lee, Naruto, and Kiba repeated dumbly.

Kakashi gave a thumbs up, "We're going to war!"

"…Greatttt…."

XxOoOoOoOxX

Neji blocked another attack and kicked the person out of the way, all while making sure Tenten was fine.

And then. It hit him. It was now or never.

"Tenten, will you marry me?"

Tenten stared at him and kicked an enemy away.

"…NOT the best time Neji!"

"Will you marry me?" he repeated, and kicked another of Orochimaru's minions out of the way, and stabbing another, "It's now or never, you know we may die."

Tenten sighed as she put her hands on her hips and turned to Neji, as she had a moment where no one was going to attack her.

"…Kakashi."

"…WHAT?"

"I SAID, KAKASHI!" Tenten screamed.

"…YOU'D CHOOSE KAKASHI OVER ME?"

Neji stared at her incredulously. Why Kakashi? WHYYY KAKASHIIIII!

"NO! KAKASHI!" Tenten yelled, "MARRY US!"

"WHAT? A MARRIAGE RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE?"

"MARRY US!"

"FINE! TODAY WE GATHER," Kakashi paused and blocked an attack, "TO WITNESS—OH SCREW IT, FORGET THE VOWS, FORGET THE SPEECH. YOU TWO ARE MARRIED, NOW YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE!"

Neji blocked another attack and sent him flying, and grabbed Tenten's waist, smirking before he leaned in and roughly kissed her.

"GO NEJI!" Naruto yelled through the noise, as he and the rest of the crew members gathered around the new couple, making sure no one would harm them while they were ahem. Busy.

They pulled back and gazed at each other before they straightened up and prepared to take down the rest of the minions, as husband and wife.

And to find out they were all on the other ship.

Neji slipped his sword back into the case attached to his waist, and grabbed a nearby rope, "If you're going to come over, be careful," he muttered over his shoulder to Tenten before he swung across the waters onto the other ship.

Tenten glanced around, "What, you're going to let him go alone?" she frowned and grabbed another rope, standing on the edge, "Pathetic. Well, if I die… I blame you all!" she said happily, swinging over the waters.

And imagine how proud she felt when they all swung over after her.

Tenten glanced around, and before she knew it, the clang of metal surrounded her, people fell and cries were in the air, cries of suffering.

"NARUTO! BEHIND YOU!"

Naruto turned around and narrowly avoided being stabbed, "THANKS TENTEN!"

Tenten grinned at him and turned around, and her reflexes saved her from being cut in half.

Tenten held her sword above her head, blocking his attack, but his kick sent her flying. She whimpered slightly as she attempted to sit up.

"Oh, I suggest not moving."

Tenten froze as she felt cold metal under her chin, and looked up fearfully at his sadistic smile. She felt pressure against her throat, and closed her eyes, waiting for the pain.

"Get away from her!"

Orochimaru turned around and his snake-like eyes widened as he was knocked back due to the impact.

Neji panted heavily, as he wiped the corner of his mouth with his torn sleeve, and stood in front of Tenten in a protective stance, "You will not harm her."

Orochimaru's lips twisted into a sickening smile as his tongue lapped up the blood at the corner of his mouth, "Oh, so you're her savior?"

Neji bent his knees and glared at him, preparing to attack, when a sudden loud cry distracted him.

He turned over and managed to catch sight of Ino fall overboard, but Sakura caught her just in time.

The Hyuuga whipped his head around a second too late, as Orochimaru took the moment to kick him and send him flying, crashing into some barrels.

Neji winced and rubbed his head and glanced up to see Orochimaru standing over him with his sword reflecting sunlight, "Ah, love. It's such a strong bond, but it's so simple to sever."

Neji smirked, "You can only wish."

Orochimaru growled at the Hyuuga that was smirking at him. In one smooth moment, he raised his sword and brought it down onto Neji's chest, ignoring Tenten's sudden shriek.

Neji groaned as Orochimaru stabbed him, and twisted the sword around, enjoying the pain he was putting the Hyuuga through, "Love conquers all? I doubt it."

"You… don't know… what… it's like… to love… someone…" he panted and he gasped sharply as his assailant pushed the sword deeper, twisting it again.

"NEJI!" Tenten shrieked and tried to stand up but slipped and fell again.

Neji gasped and winced as Orochimaru flicked the sword and left him. He attempted to remove the sword, hoping the pain would lessen, but no avail.

"You… you… you BASTARD!" Tenten screamed, tears spilling out of the corners of her eyes as she stood up and used her blood-stained sword to stab the pale man.

"…That… hurt…" Orochimaru hissed, glaring at the brunette as he knocked her down again.

She braced herself for an impact, but Shikamaru suddenly appeared, "Go check on Neji, make sure he's all right."

She nodded and crawled over to Neji, and stared at him. She just… stared.

Tenten dropped to her knees next to her husband, "Neji… stay with me, please please don't die…"

Neji smiled weakly as he traced Tenten's tear-stained face gently, "Tenten…"

"NEJI!"

He pulled her down and locked their lips, and then he blacked out.

XxOoOoOoOxX

Beep.

Neji opened an eye, So this is death, eh?

Neji pushed himself up, and winced as a searing pain shot through him.

This isn't fair. I shouldn't feel pain in death.

"NEJI!"

"What, you died too?"

Tenten bit her lip and threw herself on him, ignoring his sudden cry of pain, "I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!"

"…Tenten… that really… hurts…"

Tenten looked up, "I'm sorry Neji… but I'm so glad you're alive!"

"…."

"I mean, I really thought you died! I was so miserable…"

"…Tenten, I love hearing your voice but…"

"I couldn't imagine what I would've done if—"

Neji sighed and roughly pushed her down so she was on top of him, "Tenten, I love your voice, but it's really annoying when you ramble."

"So mean!"

He smirked and pushed her head down so their lips smashed together in a rough kiss, his other arm encircling her waist, preventing her from escaping.

Not that she would, after all…

Tenten pulled back, her face a pleasant shade of red, "God Neji… there's more then one way to shut me up you know."

He smirked again, "That's my favorite."
