She took him home.

Neji remembered coming to Tenten's place for the first time, it was a long, long time ago -

The second round of the Chunnin Exams was over - he advanced to the next stage, she didn't.

Reluctantly, Gai-sensei dragged him from the training grounds to this small apartment tucked away in the back-end of the village.

She was supposed to be on bed rest, despite being discharged from the hospital.

As the trio approached the door, they could hear the clear sound of weapons as they clashed.

Almost immediately, Lee kicked down the door. "Tenten!" He shouted, as two shurikens flew past his head.

Neji noticed a slight flick of her fingers just before the shurikens left her head - Lee would have gotten two piercings if she didn't do that.

"What are you doing here? Gai-sensei and you two?" She was slightly startled as she straightened herself. Neji frowned as she stretched her heavily bandaged arms.

Before he could say anything, Gai-sensei stepped forward and seized her by both shoulders.

"YOU SHOULD BE ON BED REST!"

He remembered her scowling and bickering with Lee, who decided to chime in.

"My goal is to become the most powerful kunoichi of Konoha!"

He remembered snickering as he heard her bold declaration.

…

"Neji?" Tenten looked at him as he stared blankly.

He shook his head.

"So…" Tenten glanced quickly from his face to the bedroom. "Hmmm, you hungry?"

"I'm fine," said Neji, with a soft smile. He walked up to Tenten and gently wrapped his arms around her.

"I…"

Tenten pressed her lips against his, taken by surprise, he readily complied as he held her by the waist. She clamped her legs around him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

They moved to the bedroom and he laid her down onto the bed. She grunted softly as he sank himself into her, pressing his lips against the curve of her neck, her collarbones as his hands busied himself to unfasten her belt.

Her breath became hot and heavy against his neck as he felt a strange, almost rage-like feeling emerging from deep within - he did not remember having such a feeling before in his life, previous or present.

"Neji," her soft muttering stirred his mind. It was as if a fuse just popped deep within and he felt himself losing control, instinct took over as he exposed her top half. Tearing off her bra, the sound of cloth and thread ripping only edged him further. He began to plant his lips all over her body, starting from the curve of her chin, to her neck, down to the round breasts on top of which her nipples stood firmly.

She grunted softly as he took her breasts, one in each hand and massaged them - he never knew he had that in him but her surprised gasp as he did only added oil onto his burning desire to take her.

It was seconds after when he shed his own robes onto the floor, fulling exposing his erect member as she gathered her breath and sat up.

"I...I've never done this before," said Neji, there was a strange sensation as he stood naked in front of her.

Tenten stood up and walked towards him, she slid herself out of her dark red trousers and stood in front of him. Her brunette hair, usually tied perfectly, was messy against her face. Only a pair of black underpants were on her as she approached him.

"Neither have I." She replied, as she took both of his hands and held them in hers. "I've been taught, shown how to do all this, as all kunoichis do." She looked down, the moonlight shone from out of her window, revealing a light, soft shade of blush on her face. "But I always refused to take all those missions - y'know…" She looked down at her feet.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, she could feel his heart pounding in his solid chest.
"I thought I'd never see you again."

He could not take it anymore, he lunged forward and pressed her down onto the bed. He sank himself into her, his hands ran wild across every inch of her skin. Her last defence slipped from her hips to the floor.

Gently, he took her. She frowned as he entered, and he hesitated.

Before Neji could say anything, she pressed a kiss onto his lips and shifted beneath him. Breaking away from him, she gasped as he went inside, deeper and deeper as he moved.

She could feel him inside her, the pain died down without her noticing. A warm enveloping sensation wrapped her as she clung onto him, as he pushed forward.

She could feel his muscles tense up for a second, she knew he was at his limit. Tenten felt a gush of warmth inside of her before she was overtaken by a wave of ecstasy, she threw her head back as she let out a satisfied moan.

It almost felt like she lost control of her limbs as Neji laid on top of her.

"I love you," she whispered softly into his ear. "Always have."

He said nothing but pressed his lips against her face before rolling off to her side. He wrapped his arms around her waist before pulling the blanket over them.

She smiled as she felt his warm breath against her neck; closing her eyes, she thought of something she had stopped thinking about for many years.

Her future, with Neji.

He walked inside.

As usual, Hinata was asleep - after all these years with him being Hokage, they have reached a consensus for her not to stay up late.

Slowly, he climbed up the stairs, careful with his steps, he reached the end of the corridor.

Gently opening the wooden door in front of him, the hinge slightly creaking as it opened a gap wide enough for him to see his son snoring softly, his leg peeking out of the covers and dangling off the side of his bed.

Naruto chuckled softly.

Closing the door behind him, he turned around and opened another door.

He walked inside and saw his daughter tucked tightly in bed, carefully, he pressed a kiss atop of her forehead as the little girl snuggled a little under the blanket.

He headed towards his own room.

Hinata shifted in her sleep as he kissed her cheek.

"You're back," she mumbled in her sleep. Naruto smiled as she held his hand in hers.

"I'm going to take a shower," he let her go and walked towards the shower.

Naruto let out a sigh of relief as water poured out of the shower. The hot water splashed as it hit the ground and steam rose from his feet.

He thought he heard something apart from the sound of water rushing down the drain. Naruto shrugged as he scrubbed his chest.

He turned off the water, the steam, white and blurry, began to slowly condense around him.

He pulled open the bath curtain and before he could react, he found himself flying towards the wall before he could utter a word.

The world turned dark.

Before that, all he saw were two eyes.

Two eyes, as white as the pristine first snow of winter.
