Water Bottles

Tenten was in a serious dilemma.

It was disastrous.

Catastrophic.

EARTH-SHATTERING!

What was it?

After a long spar… longer than usual, and the sun beamed down on her harder than usual…

She used more chakra than usual…

She was thirstier than usual…

And her god dang water bottle just wouldn't open.

No matter how much she twisted it, this way and that. Or how she pounded it against the ground furiously, or even with a senbon. It just wouldn't fricken' open.

All this time Neji was watching her, much to her dismay.

"Open this for me."

"Open it yourself."

"I can't."

"Why not."

"I dunno. I just can't."

"…"

Never thought you'd see the day when Tenten was defeated by a mere water bottle, didja, Neji?

Neji gave a grunt as he reached out to grab the water bottle from the outstretched hand.

During that fleeting second when their hands brushed against each other's, Tenten's face turned slightly pink, while Neji's remained emotion-less as ever. Bastard.

Twist.

Narrow eyes.

Twist harder.

Start to get pissed.

Twisttwisttwist.

Chuck it at a tree.

Tenten stared at it.

She'd never thought she'd see the day when Hyuuga Neji was defeated by a water bottle.

That water bottle is gonna be so strong one day… It'll so kill Orochimaru. Uh huh.

"…Neji…"

"….."

"…I'm still thirsty…"

He sighed and retrieved the water bottle as he beckoned for Tenten to get up, "Let's go find someone who can open this damn thing…"

Tenten giggled slightly as she got up after him, forgetting her thirst for a moment.

And so the quest to open the fricken' water bottle begins.

XxOoOoOoOxX

"Hello my youthful teammates? What brings you to the youthful town of Konoha during this youthful time?"

"Can't open my water bottle."

"AT LAST, IF I CAN JUST," Lee paused and grabbed the water bottle, and began twisting it, "IF I CAN," twisting harder, "JUST OPEN," twist harder, "I CAN DEFEAT," twist even harder, "MY ARCH NEMESIS."

Twist twist.

TWWWWWWWWWWIST!

"NOOOOO I ONCE AGAIN FAILED TO DEFEAT MY RIVAL. I WILL NOW GO RUN AROUND KONOHA 200 TIMES. FAREWELL MY TEAMMATES!"

And so went Lee, off to run 200 laps for yet again, failing to defeat Neji.

Tenten blinked, "I could just get—"

"No," Neji growled, "This damn thing is going to open."

Tenten shrugged, "Okay. But I'm thirsty."

"Then let's go."

And so they went, everyone tried to open it.

Ino. Even with her anger she couldn't.

Naruto. Even with Kyuubi power he couldn't.

Sasuke. Well, he almost stabbed it.

Shikamaru. Didn't bother.

Hinata. Tried, but failed.

Sakura. With her inhumane strength, she even failed.

Tsunade. Yes. Even the great Tsunade failed to open the goddamn water bottle.

Jiraiya. Nope.

Kakashi. Nah, wouldn't take the time away from his dirty novel.

Chouji. Too busy eating.

Kiba. Failed.

Akamaru. Failed as well.

And soon even all the villagers failed.

How the hell do—

"…" Neji paused and twisted it, the opposite direction of everyone else's twisting.

…..

"…I forgot this is from America," he growled. (A/N Okay, just assume that the way to open water bottles in America is opposite than from Japan:D)

Tenten smiled as she took a huge gulp, "Thank you Neji!" she said happily, handing him back the water bottle.

Neji stared at it.

Then at her.

It.

Her.

It.

Her.

Use it to squirt the remaining water at her.

Run for life.

"NEJI GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE."

Sure enough, he stopped abruptly, and heard an annoyed 'oomph' as Tenten crashed against his back, "NEJI YOU-"

He bent down quickly, and grabbed her chin roughly, smashing his lips onto hers, tilting her head to make the kiss deeper.

He pulled back a couple of seconds later, and smirked arrogantly at her blushing face.

"That is one hell of a water bottle…" she muttered, touching her lips tentatively.

His cocky smirk only widened, "It sure is."
