The Wolf And I

Chapter Thirteen

I parked the car and went inside. I went to the kitchen to find Neji, Haku, and Hanabi eating.

'That's so cute! Neji treats those kids like his own.'

I walk in and grab some bread to pop into the toaster.

"So TenTen where did you go this morning?"

Neji asked looking over Haku's head at me. I caught his eye and gave him the can-we-talk-later look. He nodded and continued to eat.

My toast popped up, I grabbed it, and put it on the plate I grabbed earlier. I walk over to where Neji is sitting and sat down.

"So how'd you guys like the ball last night?"

I ask the two three year olds in front of me. I take a bite of my toast.

"Awesome."

Haku said. Hanabi nodded.

"Well that's good. How's it feel to be a prince?"

I asked after finishing chewing.

"Good. Why are you the q-u-e-e-n?"

He asked. I push my plate away.

"Because I hurt someone very bad."

"Who?"

"Your mother doesn't want to talk about it Haku. Go play with Hanabi in her room."

Neji said taking everyone's plate.

"Okay! Come on Hanabi!"

He said taking Hanabi's hand and running out of the room.

"Thank you Neji."

I said putting my elbows on the table and then putting my face into my hands.

"No problem."

We sat in silence for awhile. Neji just sat there and I sat there with my face in my hands.

"I went to visit Lee's grave. I'm sorry I didn't leave a note telling you."

I look at him through my fingers.

"How'd that go?"

He asked putting a hand on my arm.

"I cried and told him I was sorry. Neji I wish he wasn't dead but if he wasn't I wouldn't of met you and your the best thing that happened to me besides Haku."

I uncovered my face and grabbed his hand that was on my arm.

"TenTen..."

He took a breath and continued to talk.

"I love you and all your mistakes that have been uncovered. I will protect you with my life. I will kill anyone if someone threatened you or Haku. I know you've killed people but so have I. I also know that you will always love Lee because he is the father of your son."

I kissed him hard on the lips and he kissed back. We both had our hands on each other's faces.

"EWWW! Why are you guys doing that on the table?"

Kiba said walking into the kitchen followed by Hinata, Sasuke, Hana, Shikamaru, Konan, and Itachi. I pull away and laugh. Konan gave me a knowing looks.

"Shut up Kiba."

Neji said not looking happy about being interpreted.

"Come on Neji."

I grab his hand and walk out of the kitchen. I pull him all the way to our room. I push him onto the bed and walk to a box in the closet.

"I have something to show you."
