The Wolf And I

Chapter Seventeen

I wake up to tiny hands on my legs. I open my eyes to see Haku and Hanabi trying to climb up my legs. I stand up and pick both of them up and placed them on my hips. I walk up to Neji's room. I walk in and Neji is laying on the couch reading a book.

"How long did I sleep?"

I ask setting the kids down.

"A couple of hours."

He said not looking up from his book.

"What are you reading?"

He didn't answer or look up from his book.

"Neji what's wrong?"

He still didn't answer.

"Kids go downstairs to play with Hana."

"Okay."

They ran out of the room. I walk right up to Neji and plucked his book out of his hands. I throw the book on the coffee table.

"Neji Hyuuga what is wrong with you? And you better answer me this time."

He looks everywhere but at me. I'm getting mad quickly. How dare he not answer my questions when I have done nothing to him.

"Whatever. If you're not going to talk then I'm not going to talk to you."

I'm about to leave the living room when Neji starts talking.

"TenTen I'm sorry. I'm mad at myself. I shouldn't take it out on you."

I turn around and walk back in front of him. He's still laying on the couch. I sit on his lap and grab his face with my hands.

"Please Neji tell me what's really wrong."

I pleaded with him. He is quiet for a minute.

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I'm going to kill you when I turn you. I'm afraid that your body will not take the wolf change kindly. I don't want it to kill you."

He whispered.

"It won't kill me. I promise I'll make it through and when I do. We'll spend everyday of our life's together."

I kissed him before he could answer me. He kissed back. Our kissing went to a full make out session. I pull away.

"I'm going to go take a shower."

I said walking to the bathroom.

"Do you want me to shower with you?"

"No you pervert."

"Then why did you tell me that you were going to go take a shower?"

"Because."

With that I walk into the bathroom and closed the door. I turn on the shower.

I step out of the shower, wrap a towel around my head, dry myself off, wrap another towel around my body, and walk out. I keep walking until I'm in the closet.

I put on a white bra, a black shirt with white lettering that says 'Losing is natures way of say you SUCK!', pink panties, and short dark blue denim shorts. I dry my hair and keep it down. I walk out of the closet and find Neji sleeping on the bed.

I walk to him and poke him in the side. He doesn't even move. I shrug my shoulders and walk away. I grab my phone and Ipod and walk out of the room. I unlock my phone and call mom. It rings one time.

"Hello darling."

"Hey mom. Just wanted to see if everything's okay?"

She sighs.

"Yeah everythings fine here. I heard that Kin poisoned you and tonight you're getting bitten tonight?"

"Um yup."

"Well I gotta go. Love you and Haku."

I hang up and walk to Itachi's room. I knock once and Itachi answers the door.

"Why didn't you tell me I'm getting bitten tonight?"

"Well I sent Neji to tell you. The poison is spreading faster than predicted. So we are going into full action tonight. Neji's already agreed to it."

"Okay. Next time tell me first hand. I don't want to find out from my mom again."

"Yes my queen."

He bowed with a smirk.

"Good. Well see you tonight."

"Yup. Get enough sleep. You'll need it."

Itachi said closing his door. I walk back to the room and go into the bedroom. I fall onto the bed and Neji wraps his arms around me. I put my earphones in and turned on some Justin Bieber. As Long As You Love Me starts playing. I slowly drift away into darkest with the beat of the music.

I wake up and find that Neji is still asleep and I'm listening to the section of Korean music. Right now I'm listening to MAMA by EXO-K. I look at the time.

5:30 pm

I turn over to Neji after I turn my Ipod off and take my earphones out.

"Neji wake up."

I shake him.

"What Ten?"

He asked in a sleeply voice.

"It's 5:30. Wake up."

"No Ten."

"Yes Neji."

I got up and he finally got up.

"Neji after all this is done can we get a house to ourselves? I want a big house. And it can still be close to this house. It could be our own love nest."

"We'll talk about it later."

Neji walked into Itachi's room and I followed.
