"One strikes when the time is right, when the enemy drops his guard and falls asleep, leaving his weapons safely hidden even from himself. That's the moment for one to strike."

"Hey, Tenten!" Ino yelled. The sun was setting and Guy's team was still training. The said girl yelped and hid behind her teacher.

Neji and Lee had left Naruto's house before Shikamaru and Choji, those two were the only ones left after they left..

"Don't tell her I'm here. I'm too tired to deal with her problems." She whined quietly, and they looked back to the Yamanaka. "Uh, Tenten left." Neji said awkwardly, and the two bowl-cuts agreed.

"...I'm not stupid, I just saw her."
"Whaatt?? Nooo. You didn't see her..because she wasn't here." Lee said, and Neji nudged him hard.
"Ow.."
"She isn't here because she just left, Ino. She walked off."
"Farther into the training grounds?"
"..yes."

Ino thought for a minute and shrugged. "Ah, okay. I'll go look for her then. I'll cya guys later if I don't find her."

She waved goodbye and walked past them, glaring at Tenten, which caused the girl to squeak and let out a huge sigh as she disappeared into the forest.

"She's gonna kill me."
"She saw you."
"Neji. I know."
"Well, we should split now, Kakashi has asked me to meet up with him for mission details tonight!" Guy announced loudly, and Tenten nodded.

"Are we gonna be involved, Guy-sensei!?" Lee asked, stars in his eyes, but the Jounin shook his head, causing the two less chaotic ones to sigh in relief and the most energetic one to groan in disappointment.

"That's okay, Lee! Keep training as hard as ever, and maybe learn a new attack, like this!" [insert something guy would do]/srs

"That's so cool! Can I stay overtime to practice that!?"
"Of course, Lee! Keep on doing, the power of youth will help you tremendously!"

Neji and Tenten quietly walked away as Lee started and Guy was fixing his posture. "Man, they're idiots."

"Lee, yes. Guy-sensei isn't an idiot..when he gets serious..?" The Hyuga tried to think of times where he was serious without the situation getting serious, when he was about to add, Tenten said something before him.

"No, really?" She asked sarcastically and he suddenly had an urge to nudge her stomach like he did to Lee, and hard. She could read him clearly at the moment, which was usually hard for her, it did make her smile a bit though.

Then she was reminded of Ino, who was probably waiting for her in the forest. Ino had brought out a scroll as she walked past, and she wondered what she was gonna do with it. "Oh, shit.." She froze and Neji looked at her.

"What's so nerve-wrecking that you let out a curse? That's not normal for you." Neji noticed, and Tenten laughed nervously and sped away, planning to circle back once everyone left, which was worrying anyways, because Ino is big on punctuality. Hiding from her didn't help her situation at all.

"I'll see you later, Neji! I have a couple of things to do!"

Neji stood there as she turned and was gone. "I forgot to ask her about earlier.." He realized, and went to run after her. "Tenten!"

When he turned the corner though, she was already gone. "Damn... I wonder if Guy-sensei meeting up with Kakashi has something to do with the girls. This is odd indeed.." He thought to himself, trying to think of places where Tenten would be.
