What Feels the Best

To Tenten, a lot of things feel good.

…But what feels the best?

A lot of things felt good. That was obvious.

For example… physical things.

Pillows feel nice.

Especially a bed full of them, so you could jump on them and your butt wouldn't hurt.

Hm… weapons felt good.

No, not if you were hit by them, especially from Tenten.

But just holding them, feeling the smooth metal, and sending them towards the desired target felt good.

To Tenten at least.

What else?

Oh, ice cream felt good.

Especially on a hot summer's day, the coolness spreading throughout you…

…And of course forcing Neji to eat it, sometimes by, ahem, kissing…

Oh, sending Naruto and Lee flying felt dang good.

"NARUTO!"

WHAM.

"LEE. JYUUKEN!"

WHOOSH.

Yeah. That felt real good.

Let's see… oh, er, kissing Neji always felt good, but of course we don't need to go into detail.

What you-

NO. Tenten refuses to say anything about… yeah.

Sleeping in always felt nice.

The warmth of your bed…

The softness…

It was heaven.

Until Lee comes bounding into your bedroom screaming something about youth.

Holding a new weapon felt good. One that's never been used, and she's the first to hold it, especially if she made it herself.

Oh, that just moves into the emotional feeling good. Okay!

Well… being recognized always felt good. Yeah.

Like… being the one of the best weapons mistresses in the world.

And… first female co-captain of the ANBU squad.

And… approved by Hiashi to be Neji's girlfriend.

Yeah, those felt good.

Cheering people up felt good. Tenten always liked helping people.

Completing a hard mission felt good too. It felt as if she had gotten stronger, because she completed 'A' rank missions one by one, getting better each time.

Being with her friends felt good too. Just because Sakura, Ino, and Hinata are her closest friends, and they're always there for her.

It always feels good to have them stick with you through everything, the smiles, the tears, the pain, the confusion.

But then again, being with Neji felt good too.

She didn't know why, but just being with him gave her a feeling of serenity, calmness, being protected and loved. She felt warm, and safe…

She always felt good when he smiled or laughed because of her.

She felt good when his techniques were perfect because of constant sparring with her.

He had told her constantly that he was where he is today because of her.

Because she sparred with him.

Because she encouraged him.

Because she was always with him.

Because she was herself.

Of course that all felt wonderful but…

The best feeling in the world? It'd be…

The best feeling in the world would be…

Being in Neji's arms, having him hold her tightly, and never let go.
