This is for the 2007 nejiten community LJ festival and this is for the 12 Days of Nejiten challenge. I originally wanted to stick it into 1 document but the document was getting too long... Enjoy anyway, I'll be uploading the next few chapters soon. Please leave a review and make my day

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, I wouldn't be writing fanfic anyway if I did.

The morning smelt fresh and crisp after the storm that had raged last night. Using chakra to boost their speed, Team Gai began the journey home to Konoha as they bounded through the trees. The order they travelled in was almost always the same; Gai at the front to meet any dangers that may lie awaiting as the most experienced ninja on the team, Lee, Tenten and then Neji at the back as a watch-out.

As usual, Lee and Gai were streaking rapidly ahead, racing home, forcing Tenten and Neji to pick up their pace to keep up with them. After a chakra enhanced Gai, and then Lee both landed on a branch, it creaked ominously. Tenten, not being able to stop herself in time, then landed on the same branch.

CRACK

She gave a small shriek of surprise as she found herself suddenly falling. Tenten landed in a bush that cushioned her fall and she stayed where she was for a moment wondering why nature hated her so much. A shadow loomed over her and she looked up at Neji who had his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

"Looks like somebody needs to go on a diet," he pointed out. The smirk on his face got even wider.

Tenten would later claim that she had blacked out after the fall and that she would never have even dreamt of using her training partner for target practice by pinning him to a tree so firmly with half her weapons arsenal it had taken Neji two whole days to free himself from where she had left him in the forest.
