A/N: To your delight, I stole my brother's computer and rewrote the Epilogue for the 4th time! I completely ommitted the chapter I had intended to stick between, seeing how it was not necessary. Sometimes mystery is the best solution for writer's block and lack of accessible computers.

So in the perfect flowing one hour of today I now present to you the ending of Neji and Tenten's romantic struggle. Thanks for waiting and not being upset, and for all your undying support and reviews. I really appreciate it!

Concerning a sequel, my offer still stands. You up for it? Actually am I up for it? This sure took me a lot of energy to write. Hehe.

Au revoir, ma cheries.

Wake Up Call is for your own imagination, to ponder what happened the next morning after the consummation of Tenten's and Neji's romance. Now we will continue to the development of their growing relationship and circumstances that fell between them during.

Epilogue

The Hyuuga's old worries returned to Fate's harsh design. He felt Fate had dealt them both a punishment card considering the two months of being absent from each other, despite their constant attempt to come together.

The day after their making love, Neji had had visited his family, had dinner with Hinata and Hinabi, learned of Naruto's proposal to Hinata, and that Hinata had agreed not to get married until her cousin, the heir, was settled first.

"Hinata," The shy kinouchi's cousin had said. "You may marry Uzumaki Naruto anytime you wish. I know you've loved him since you met him and that it would only be a matter of time he would return it. He may be blind but he's strong and changes people, he changed me. I will not hold you back in your relationship with him just because I am the heir and not married."

"B-but Neji... Naruto insisted. Your mutual respect for each other is very great, he wants to talk to you on this matter first."

Neji had ended up speaking with the Hokage himself the following morning, Tenten having been snatched from his grasp at being sent on an non-avoidable mission that lasted 2 weeks. During those two weeks preparations were made for Hinata's huge wedding that would take place in the following year, for suspense or over-protection for the Hokage, maybe both.

One day before Tenten would return from her mission Neji brought the family heirloom to Naruto and told him to give it to her as soon as she returned, along with a note.

"Note!" Uzumaki had exclaimed, folding his arms. "You're going to write your proposal to her!"

"What? Who said anything about a proposal?"

"Like I don't know what you did bribing Lady Tsunade..."

"That was nobody's business." The Hyuuga's brows furrowed.

"No matter, you're just too chicken shit to ask her yourself, aren't you?" Naruto's cheeky grin was impossible to ignore.

"I did ask her." Neji admitted, lavendar silver eyes glazed over on that impossible to forget morning. He sighed to release some of the tension from recalling that particular memory. "Two weeks ago."

"Ah, and she didn't answer."

"You may be Hokage but I can still shut off your chakra point, if not all at least the one that controls your speech." It was clear he wasn't going to discuss this with Naruto, or anybody but Tenten.

Naruto lifted a brow then laughed loudly, pushing his feet on the desk to lean back in his chair. "Neji, Neji I'm just teasing. I'll give her the ring and note, only because I'm sending you on a mission. There's so many piling up. You're to be a leader for two other young genins for several more missions afterwards as well."

Neji's brows furrowed more with dissatisfaction, then nodded. "Strange taking orders from you, friend."

"Strange giving orders." Naruto was about to laugh again when BAM. The chair fell back onto the floor and the crazy blond-haired shinobi was now a dust mop. And with a little lightened humour they ended their meeting.

...

So the two months that Neji is now exasperated with? Every time Neji was sent on a mission, Tenten had been mysteriously assigned to one the day before his return. The same thing occurred to Tenten when she arrived, Neji had been gone at least a day before. This happened 4 times and now Neji was home, practicing, frustrated with Naruto's insatiable attempt to drive the two love birds mad. For several days Neji practiced and practiced until he would practically drop dead from exhaustion, only so he would not waste time daydreaming of Tenten. Passion did not subside in her absense, instead growing far more intense and anxious. He soon found it hard to blame his uneasiness on Naruto, and settled on scolding his own cowardice in not asking Tenten's hand in marriage after their first kiss.

Two hours into morning practice, the sun was half way in the sky, the Hyuuga heir already mightily exhausted. The Prince of Green Spandex had appeared and introduced his team-mate to an awkwardly stunning girl who would be known as the Princess of Purple Spandex, a taijutsu master kinouchi from the rain village. Neji wondered why he hadn't heard of her before when Lee said they'd been together for two weeks, and realised his thoughts really had been scattered wondering about Tenten too much. He had never really expected Lee to have a girlfriend or even be interested in having one, and vowed since their meeting that he would probably pop a gasket if Lee ever did. Now Neji found his shock completely absent and congratulated him instead.

Too many relationships pushing forward, and his at a stand-still, the dark brown-haired jounin only increased his determination to exhaust himself early. His fingertips shot controlled chakra strings holding onto two hundred shurikens as he worked on a stronger version of his gentle fist techniques. While he would become invulnerable in his powerful spin, the shurikens would blast at an impossible speed from the impact AND hit all the targets perfectly without fail. So far his precision was not fully established, having reached 95 targets just this morning, after several weeks of hard study and work.

An hour passed by, he had reached 97 targets.

Another hour passed, 99 targets.

He was too quenched to continue, but was not satisfied with this at all. He needed to hit all the targets even when his body was in the worst conditions. In fact, that was what he aimed for, an impossible amount of power and precise control in his weakest state.

Noon stretched over the horizon just as the Hyuuga finally hit all 100 targets. He took a short 15 minute break for water, breathing exercises, and a chakra recharge cool down. His stomach growled but he refused to eat, observing that being too comfortable set him up for weakening his resolve enough to let his thoughts stray. So properly quenched and only barely recovered he continued practice.

"Byakugan!" The Hyuuga activated the bloodline limit and commenced to use his new improved technique. With a great sharp exhale of satisfaction, he stopped from the spin and closed his eyes, opening his ears to hear the sound of metal piercing wood. He frowned. The awaited sound didn't come. Nothing. Not even one shuriken hit the target. Using Byakugan he did not sense anyone, anything and only then saw the end of his chakra strings slowly fading from the shuriken, that were all pierced into some scattered part of the grassy floor or trees at least 70 feet from the targets.

"What the hell." The confused shinobi released his bloodline limit and went to fetch the said weapons to inspect them further when he abruptly stopped in his tracks from a very familiar sound.

"One hundred targets!"

Tenten! Despite his exhaustion, every sensation that he had struggled to suppress was now alert and full blown.

"Zero bulls-eyes!"

Your magnets! I should have known...'

The owner of that voice appeared from the shadows of the forest, having hidden perfectly out of range of Neji's byakugan. His breath was literally gone as he observed everything about her. Perfectly Tenten, beautiful, charismatic, strong, funny. One thing about her was different though. As she walked towards him with a glowing smile, a glint on her finger momentarily startled his vision.

"One hundred yeses."

The last sentence was all she needed to say, and all he needed to know to confirm their love.

And the ending is pretty much up to fate's hilarious design. Or perhaps Tenten is just too magnetising for Neji to resist the pull. You decide. Or do you? ;)
