Description "I don't want you to go," Neji whispered, his voice that same low, emotionless tone he'd used to confess his feelings for her-- as if in pretending not to care all of this would hurt less. "Lets forget the whole thing, all of them. We could run. We could..."

TenTen hushed him with a kiss, pulling back just enough to speak. "I know who I am, Neji. I am your friend, your teammate...yours. Whatever happens now, I want to do those titles proud. I am not afraid."

So, the other night I couldn't sleep and came up with this awesome story where TenTen finds out she's promised to this guy in Mist when she was little, and she has to honor the contract or pay back the dowry unless she can get the groom to decide he doesn't want her. Except the groom DOES want her, no matter what she tries. Lee and Neji were her escorts, and Neji at a certain point breaks down and confesses to TenTen how he feels about her and...it's all rather Shakesperian comedy esque. I really want to give it a try .

This is probably one of the most serious scenes in the story, where TenTen has to make the final try to escape by telling her future mother-in-law about her blood limit when it was TenTen's clan that killed most of the mother's family. There is a strong possibility that TenTen could be killed.

I have fun playing with TenTen's hair style. I'd try it more with Neji, but I doubt he'd appreciate the pigtails I'm dying to put him in.

Neji and TenTen (c) Kishimoto. I wonder how much I'd have to pay him to lease them out...

Sounds like an awesome story! Like it could be really funny and at the same time really intense! I really like the shading on this picture, and the poses are great. They look very natural and the expressions are perfect. Also like the style you put Tenten's hair in and her shirt is so cool!!! Neji probably wouldn't like the pigtails. But it'd be funny!

I hope I get the chance to write it. It's currently at the bottom of my To Do List, but since the ideas for it are effectively blocking everything else I'm trying to do, it might get bumped up.

Glad you like it! It was something new with the shading, but I kind of like the affect. And I LOVE her hair.

Neji would hate me forever, but it might be worth it.

I know how that feels. To many stories, not enough time! The Hinata and Lee story I got bit with actually turned into two. Oo (though one's a prequel to the one with the Hiashi vs Lee fight in it)

Experimenting with shading is always fun, and in this case it turned out looking awesome!

Oh it would be SO worth it.

You just keep giving me all these good ideas and then it's like, well I could expand on that so yeah. Plus, the prequels gonna have lots of fluff. (Big contrast from the Anbu one. XD )

Fluff is win!

Oh yeah, I'm so a muse. I should get a shirt or something.

I love it, I really do. The symmetry and the coloring of this peice are fantastic, it was REALLY fun to watch you draw it...and for me . Because everything NejiTen is for me, I just knows it.

Oh Neji you poor thing. Being numb and trying to detach yourself only makes it hurt worse. Some day you will learn that.

You could always have his daughters playing with his hair. That is a good excuse to get him in pigtails .

I had a ridiculous amount of fun drawing it. And yes, everything is for you, Red Baron. You know this already.

Someday he might make that connection. But, his flawgic is lawless, so maybe not.

This...is very true. Hotaru could be teaching her sisters how to braid using Daddy's hair as a demonstration...

hahaha. Win.

I don't think he will, much like I know things are bad for me, but then I do them anyway, because it's easier that way.

hahaha . It would be sooo cute. I wonder if I could find a reference picture for you...
