Author's Note: Do y'all like the murder mystery chapters so far? I personally think they're full of suspense, something I enjoy writing lol. :3

One word. The murderer said one word, and it made her whole body turn rigid. Neji...
Tenten knew the voice as soon as she heard it. Damn that Hyuga, it was him all along. "What do you want, Neji?" She snapped, huffing in annoyance. Wow, I never thought I could talk to the murderer this...casually. Casual for the two of us, at least.
"You recognized my voice. I'm flattered," Neji stated, his voice cold.
"Yes, and I personally consider it a bad thing, so don't be flattered," Tenten scoffed, rolling her eyes as she pulled out her gun. "Let's end this shall we?"
"You really think you can defeat me that easily?" Neji whispered huskily as he took a few steps forward through the double doors, his eyes gazing into Tenten's with amusement.
"Yes, I can." With that, she shoved him roughly against the wall, her gun clutched tightly in one hand. Tenten felt an unexpected surge of power course through her veins as she pinned him down, smirking in triumph. Their faces were centimeters apart, and her heart was beating so loudly she was afraid Neji could hear it. Tightening her hold on him, she did the only thing her jumbled thoughts came up with. She kissed him.
Her lips were surprisingly gentle against his, moving in sync with his. Neji's lips were soft and sweet, sending tingles through her body. Enjoying the kiss wasn't one of the things she signed up for, but it seemed to be happening anyway. She couldn't help but inhale his scent as she kissed harder, her free hand entangling itself in his hair. He responded by pressing one hand against the small of her back while the other rested on her head, pressing her closer to him as the kiss deepened.
Tenten didn't expect it to get this far. Hell, she didn't even expect this to happen when, wait scratch that, if she discovered the murderer and managed to get an opportunity at shooting them. Her decision had been to quickly shoot and end it, problem solved. Now, she was stuck in a heated, passionate make out session with a man that she didn't even want to kiss before. The worst part was, she never wanted it to end. She felt his tongue slip into her mouth, something she definitely didn't expect. She was beginning to lose control, enjoying it way too much. Using the last, fleeting amount of sanity she had left, she held her gun up and pulled the trigger.
Time seemed to stop as the gunshot echoed throughout the entire mansion. With all her willpower, Tenten detached her lips from Neji's, grinning in triumph. "I win," She whispered in his ear, her heart still pounding against her ribcage.
"God dammit," Neji muttered as red lights began blaring from both their belts. "You realize that people were probably spectating us, right?"
Tenten shrugged, backing away from him and taking out her walkie talkie, unmuting it. Everyone seemed to be talking all at once, and it was hard to hear what anyone was saying. "SILENCE!" A voice yelled into the walkie talkie, causing everyone to shut up. "The murderer has been eliminated," Shikamaru explained through the device, "Please return to the building entrance for round two."
Without speaking, Neji and Tenten began heading back towards the main entrance of the building. On the way, they met up with Ino, who winked at them knowingly. The brunette blushed while the Hyuga remained incomprehensible.
They all gathered for round two, Shikamaru muttering, "What did I say about making out..."

Once the game was over and everyone was back at the dorms, Tenten and Neji entered their own dorm room. After closing the door, Neji asked, "Did you plan your...strategy before putting it into effect?"
"Nope," Tenten replied, unable to meet his eyes.
"I see. Tomorrow, our challenge ends. Have you decided how we should tell the group?" Neji asked.
The brunette yawned in reply. "I don't know, you're the genius. You tell them," She mumbled.
Neji frowned, taking his phone and opening the group chat.
Neji: Tenten and I are "breaking up".
Tenten glanced at her phone, rolling her eyes. "Way to get straight to the point, Hyuga."
