Negotiating sex

''Come round to mine after training.''

He huffed into the kunai he was pressing against his lips and narrowed his eyes at the target.

''No,'' he said with an effortless flick of his wrist. With a small 'thud', the kunai embedded itself right in the centre of the wooden board.

''And why is that?'' she growled as she held her water bottle in one hand, the other on her hip.

''That's not a good idea,'' he reaffirmed (ignoring Tenten's death glare), ''the walls in your apartment are too thin and, uh...your neighbours complained last time.''

She blinked, shrugged her shoulders and turned abruptly to walk away in the other direction.

''Fine then.''

Upon realising Tenten was leaving the training grounds, Neji sighed and caught up with her in a few long strides.

''Tenten, come over to the compounds.''

''No.''

He walked a little faster to overtake her and swirled round to block her way.

''Yes.'' he replied.

She stopped and squinted at him through dark lashes.

''No.''

''Tenten,'' he said in annoyance, ''why not?''

She raised a brow.

''Your family is weird.'' She paused. ''Bar Hinata, she's pretty cool.''

He didn't give himself time to feel insulted as he tried to recollect memories of Tenten visiting the compounds the week prior.

Ah, yes - he distinctively remembered the little Hyuuga boys pulling Tenten's hair with exclamations of ''Your hair is pwetty!''

''But my little cousins really liked you, and-''

She put a finger to his lips. ''Save it, Neji. I don't want to hear any more.''

''But they really liked-''

''Neji! They put poison into my coffee!''

He blinked once - twice - thrice, and widened his eyes momentarily. The image of Tenten spluttering her drink out at the dinner table (much to the horror of Hiashi) suddenly replayed in his mind.

''Oh.''

''So,'' she restated, ''my place or not? I have other things to do than wait around for your answer, you know.''

Neji paused to think and frowned -

He really couldn't go another week without sex with Tenten.

With a begrudged look on his face, he scowled and turned to walk away in the direction of Tenten's aparment.

''Fine.''
