Tenten + Amnesia = Trouble

Tenten's eyes shut for a moment, then snapped awake again.

"Tenten, pay attention," Neji said exasperatedly.

She glared at him and pulled out another kunai, but was to slow, since Neji appeared in front of her with a kunai to her throat. He smirked and said, "You lose."

She'd normally sigh and smile, but today…

"Tenten?" Neji asked when she fell forward into his arms, "Er…"

"TENTEN, MY YOUTHFUL BLOSSOM, WHY HAVE YOU FAINTED? HAS OUR PRODIGY NEJI TAINTED YOUR YOUTH?"

While Lee went flying through the Konoha forest with the help of Neji's Jyuuken, he hurried toward the Konoha hospital.

No, he wasn't in love with her, she was his sparring partner… JUST his sparring partner…

Or was she?

Hospital

Neji sat on the chair, tapping his foot impatiently.

Normally, Hyuugas were very patient people.

Er. The exception of Hanabi who started screaming if you were 5 minutes late…

But, Neji had sat on the chair for… Eight. God. Forsaken. Hours.

Even the most patient have their limits.

"Neji-san," Sakura said.

Neji jumped up and brushed past her, barely hearing her yell, "AMNESIA!"

Amnesia? Well, whatever she said, it probably wasn't that important… or was it?

He pushed open the door and sat on the edge of the bed, "…Tenten?"

Tenten slowly opened her eyes and sat up, rubbing an eye, "Who are you?"

She eyed him carefully. Long brown hair… was he gay? Pupil-less eyes… oh my god, was he blind?

She saw the kunai next to him and her eyes widened, "OH MY GOD, A GAY BLIND PERSON IS HERE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

His eye twitched. Gay? Blind? What?

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Sakura burst into the room, "NEJI, ARE YOU HURTING HER?"

"HE'S A GAY BLIND FREAK!"

Sakura sweat dropped, "Tenten-san… he's not gay… and he's not blind…

Neji glared at Sakura, "What's wrong with her?"

"She has amnesia…" Sakura said slowly hiding behind her clipboard, "Please don't send me flying over the Konoha forest like Lee-san…"

"SAKURA-SAN, MY YOUTHFUL LOTUS BLOSSOM!"

"Oh dear god. Gotta run!" Sakura said and sprinted away, and a blur of green followed her.

Neji turned back to the bed to find she wasn't there. Huh? Empty bed? Her presence in the room…

Oh shit.

He activated his Byakugan just in time to see Tenten sneak up behind him and try to hit him, but he caught her hand in time, "Tenten… you're a murderer now…"

She giggled nervously.

Wait, what? Last time he checked, Tenten did NOT giggle. Period.

He stared at her.

"DON'T KILL MEEEEEEEEE!"

Out of the hospital…

"LET GO OF ME! HELP, THERE'S A MURDERER DRAGGING ME SOMEWHERE! AND HE'S GAY! AND BLIND! Hey, if you're blind, who come you're not crashing into anything?"

Neji glared at Tenten and his grip on her wrist tightened, "I am NOT blind. Or gay. Or a murderer."

"YO NEJI!"

Neji saw his two cousins, Hinata and Hanabi approach them.

"Hey, more white eyed freaks!"

Neji sighed as he stopped Hanabi from strangling Tenten, "She has amnesia…"

"You.. little…" Hanabi growled as Tenten started whimpering.

"Hanabi…"

"I'll kill you…"

"Hanabi…"

"WITH MY OWN BARE HANDS!"

"HYUUGA HANABI, LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW!" Hinata yelled.

Everyone turned to stare at her while she turned red.

"Er…"

"WOOT, HINATA ROCKS, SHE'S WAY COOLER THAN NEJI!" Hanabi cheered and ran to Hinata's side.

Neji cocked an eyebrow as he pulled Tenten toward their usual training spot, "Remember this?"

"No. What are you gonna do?"

He held a kunai in front of her face, "Now?"

"AHH, YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME WITH THAT KUNAI, YOU GAY BLIND FREAK!"

"Listen, I'm not going to kill you. Just tell me if you remember anything."

She eyed him carefully, "Fine. Stranger."

He held up the kunai.

"Nope!"

Shuriken.

"Nope!"

Crossbow.

"Nope!"

Scythe.

"Nope!"

Almost defeated, he pulled out her favorite weapon- the katana.

"Nope!"

He almost rolled his eyes when she said, "Wait… the katana… a weapon?"

He looked at her almost eagerly.

"Weapon… mistress… I remember, I'm a weapon mistress!" she exclaimed, "I'm on team 9 with Hyuuga Neji, Rock Lee, and the crazy sensei of a teacher, Maito Gai! I live in Konoha, I'm an orphan, my surname is-"

A bunch of birds suddenly chirped.

Her eyes lighted up, "I remember who I am!" she stared at him, "But… who are you?"

He felt his heart break.

But he shouldn't, right? She was just his sparring partner… right?

RIGHT?

He sighed, "I'm just… someone…" he said and turned to leave.

He paused and spun around.

Before Tenten knew it, she was pinned to the tree with Neji in front of her. She could feel his breath tickling his nose.

"If you don't remember who I am…"

Her pulse quickened.

But why? After all, he was JUST another person…

His eyes almost seemed to smile at her, "Then you won't kill me for doing this," he muttered and pressed his lips firmly against his.

Tenten still thought he was a stranger, but she knew she liked his kiss. When he started to pull back, her hand pressed against the back of his head, pulling him closer.

Neji smirked mentally and his tongue wrestled with hers.

What was going to be a simple chaste kiss, turned into a passionate French kiss.

He pulled back gasping for air and smirked as he turned to leave.

Tenten stared after him.

She didn't see the stranger she thought he was…

She saw…

"…Neji?"

Neji stopped abruptly and glanced backwards.

She quickly caught up with him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Neji… thanks for helping me remember everything…"

He half smirked.

"Haha, sorry about thinking you were a stranger…"

Silence…

"Neji…"

"Hn."

"…I love you…"

He paused.

She blushed and released him, preparing for him to leave. She closed her eyes… when she felt her face being pressed against his chest.

Huh?

She opened her eyes and heard him mumble, "Thank you…"

There was nothing for him to thank her for.

But she knows that him saying 'thank you' would be the closest thing he'd every say to 'I love you' or anything to do with that.

Tenten wasn't very picky.

She could deal with that.

Then she smirked, "Hey Neji…"

"Hm?"

"You have to admit, some people would think you're blind because of your hair and your gay because of your hair…"

Insert Neji's famous killer aura and 'The Glare'.

She backed away slowly, "Haha, I was just kidding…"

The glare increased.

She ran away screaming with Neji right behind her.

Ah, happy endings… kind of.
