Description "TenTen, you're dark attitude is most unyouthful! Where's your Christmas Spirit?"

"How about I take *your* Christmas spirit, and shove it up your..."

I love sibling LeeTen. I really do .

TenTen and Lee have, once again, been tasked with being Santa's helpers and delivering presents to orphans and those whose parents will be out of town for the holiday. And, once again, Lee is having a good attitude about it while TenTen is struggling against angry feelings that she, Lee, and Neji were over looked every year-- because she and Lee aren't technically orphans and the Hyuuga family wouldn't allow Neji to receive presents from the village.

Eventually she'll get that getting over that resentment will be the key to getting Guy-sensei to stop sending her .

Tried something new with TenTen's hair to make it look more like Kishi draws it in Shippuden. I think it makes her look more like TenTen.

Lee and TenTen took 20 minutes to draw and color. Those presents took an hour. T_T.

Lee and TenTen (c) Kishimoto

Dude I love it!! Lee's so happy and Tenten's so 'Grrrrr'. The contrast is very cute and their different colored hats is a really nice touch. Loved the little excerpt. Tenten. Such a mouth. But so funny! Great job on the poses. You really get the feeling they're carrying something that has weight to it and I absolutely love Tenten's hair. That stinks they got overlooked as kids cause they technically weren't orphins but in almost every other sense they were! And Neji not getting a Christmas present because of the stupid clan! *puts coal in their stockings and then hits them with it* I can just see Tenten sulking about having to do this to and every year Guy keeps hoping she'll see why he has her do it. It's very sweet. And the presents look beautiful!

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2009-12-18 21:24:07 +0000 UTC]

I thought they both looked so cute in their Christmas color outfits .

Yes, Guy is mortified at having raised such a mouth . Makes me laugh though. A lot.

I don't know what it is, but something about the way Kishi draws it compared to how I usually do just made it look more like TenTen to me. And it's not even THAT different o_o.

*joins in the beating with coal filled stockings*

Sooner or later she'll understand.

They really are! Just Santa's most adorable little helpers! *is beaten* ...owe.

It is really funny to think about. Because Guy really doesn't swear as much as the others in the subbed version, and while he's really out there, he's also pretty polite. And then Tenten has this mouth...well I think anyone who knew him when he was a kid would say she's more like him than he wants to admit. And randomly, I saw something on a Guy profile thing that said one of his favorite hobby's was playing catch and couldn't stop thinking about him playing catch with Lee or Tenten.

Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA! FEAR THE COAL!

Guy would hope for sooner, but I bet it comes later.

Lee's more like him in terms of how he is now, though still pretty different, but Tenten's like a mini younger Guy. lol. Something I'm sure the other jounin who have met her point out to Guy often. For some reason I could see Kurenai doing it a lot. XD Definately cute!!! And them dragging in Neji to play!!

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2009-12-19 23:38:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh, she would, for sure, and it makes me laugh because Guy would protest that he was NEVER that reckless and Kurenai would begin to list.

Kurenai: What about the time you set a rope on fire while trying to walk it fifty feet above the ground?
Guy:that was training! I was trying to outrun the fire!
Kurenai: And the time you set up a training course where you had to jump off the mountain and grab onto a rope? Or how about when you tried to swim faster than the man eating leeches? Or...
Guy: AHHHHHHH!

I'm sure there are many many things Guy has done that he wishes he could forget, or at least have no one else remember them. No such luck there though.

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2009-12-21 17:44:43 +0000 UTC]

So, some of his training was a little....extreme.

Poor man. He just has to hope no one shares, or Lee and TenTen might decide to try for themselves.

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2009-12-21 18:33:02 +0000 UTC]

From what I understood about him and Kaori, yep. I can imagine some of the stuff they did was quite extreme that left Junichi digging his nails into the ground as he's dragged along or lecturing as he's healing.

Oh for sure! Tenten and Lee would so try it just to see if they could do it, and if they could beat their sensei's record. Poor Guy. He'd walk out of his apartment one day, and see a giant obstacle course of death outside and Lee and Tenten running it.

Have you seen this? [link] Naruto OVA 3 jounin vs genin. It has to have one of the funniest Guy and Lee scenes in it and Neji and Asuma make me laugh!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2010-01-03 19:27:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh, for sure! I can just see him lecturing them until they fall on their faces from exhaustion, and then he's freaking out because they were hurt and didn't tell him.

And Neji chasing after them to make sure both of them don't die, because then Guy-sensei would kill him . Man, I love those kids. That poor man!

I hadn't! I laughed so hard imagining TenTen wandering around, gathering up the crystals. With Lee and Guy being all obsessed with their fight, and Neji challenging any and every Jounin he can find, what else is going to do .

Do we ever find out who won?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 19:41:34 +0000 UTC]

Poor Junichi! I imagine those times were many because Guy and Kaori don't seem like the kind to complain about being hurt. So he's left panicing and then trying to explain to their sensei that he didn't finally snap and hit them over the head and...man I love Junichi!

Neji totally would!! He'd do everything he could to safety proof what they were trying to do, and probably standing guard so he could catch them if they fell. lol. Those kids are just awesome! Guy puts up with so much. In retrospect I bet he finds a lot of stuff to smile and laugh about but when he's trying to keep them from hurting themselves on accident...lol.

It was so funny!! I loved the whole fight with Lee and Guy! It just made me laugh like crazy and then Neji just chasing Asuma around! He doesn't care about crystals. He wants a fight dangit!! Well it was like a promotion for a game so not in the cartoon. I found the game though for ten bucks. Naruto wins. Though it woulda been so cool if Tenten had won!

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2010-01-03 19:48:06 +0000 UTC]

He's such a funny guy. Like Shikarmaru but better .

Neji does his best to keep those two knuckle heads safe. It's a full time job, it is .

Poor man has to have heart attacks on a regular basis. TenTen and Lee don't MEAN to get in to trouble, it just tends to happen to them .

It's hilarious to me that she would be popping around, stealing random crystalsfrom people, and when she won hand it to Tsunade and make it a law that Guy could never make a law that they all have to wear spandex .

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 19:53:54 +0000 UTC]

True! I think one reason I really like Junichi and that makes him different from Shikamaru and even Kakashi is that while he doesn't get overly excited a lot, or freak out about things like his team, he still has his freak out moments, and he shows more emotions as well. Plus he's the sanity of his group, and probably his sensei's saving grace when dealing with Kaori and Guy.

lol. And Neji is pretty good at it, considering everything! I'm sure there are times he and Guy just kinda share a face palm.

Guy probably does! I'm sure that confuses the medics to during routine health checks because he excercises, eats right and is just generally so healthy but he has such high blood pressure.

Ok, now that I could totally see her doing! And actually in the game, that was the law Guy wanted to make! Lee's law was that everyone had to grow their eyebrows to match Guy's.

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2010-01-03 20:07:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh, for sure. Junichi is the practical get things done one, because as much as he hates it and try's to weasel his way out of it, he'll make sure stuff gets done. Even at those times when he has to be the one to do it.

I'm sure there are days he seriously wishes he'd been placed on another team. Then he'd wonder if their third member could keep them safe, decide they couldn't, and is glad it's him and not anyone else.

He must want to lock them up in a room sometimes, just for a break .

I knew it . And it makes me laugh that she'd walk around and just *ask* for these crystals by explaining her rule, and a bunch of people would just give them to her .

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 20:26:10 +0000 UTC]

hehehe. And that's awesome. I just love the contrast between him and Guy because he's so...I don't know. Exasperated about stuff. Like I can see him sighing a lot and slumping his shoulders, kinda like 'do I have to' thing, but he'll still do it! And when he cares about something, I can see him being really deterimined.

Could see that. He'd run all the other potential canidates throug his mind and be like: No. No. No. Not in a million years. He can't even keep a goldfish safe! No. No. Definately not Kiba! *jealously growl*

Probably!! I'm sure there are times he's had to argue with himself about locking them in a closet. Especially if it's been a long mission or night. Maybe he encourages them to visit Iruka or something and show him what they've learned. lol

I could see that!! Cause they don't want that rule in place, so they'd be all: TAKE 'EM! Just stop that rule! And she would!

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2010-01-03 20:42:30 +0000 UTC]

Exactly . He walks around like Shika, and sighs like Shika, but he's got a tough get stuff done streak that can be dragged out.

Neji makes me laugh. He won't admit how much he cares, but he REALLY does.

I could see him mentally apologizing to Iruka as he does it, too. I love it.

Which makes me laugh so hard, it really does. Maybe when she was older she'd try and win again in a bid to make it so she could date .

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 21:20:56 +0000 UTC]

hehehe. And that's something I'm sure Guy and Kaori try to drag out as often as possible. Or at least Guy teases him about it.
Guy: You really care. Just admit it!
Junichi: Bite me. -_-;;;



Neji cares so much, it's just hard for him to really express it! And you know, I just thought of something. I wonder if the reason Neji was so mean to Lee at the begining basically laughing at his goals, was because he wasn't just a bit jealous. Like that Lee had them and no one could tell him otherwise.

Same here! He doesn't want them causing chaos for anyone else, but that poor man needs a break!! Actually in the game I got, you can unlock a really cool little statue called Jounin's day off. It has Guy, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma and Anko all hanging out at the dango shop togeter. It's really cool! Mostly because Guy's antagonizing Kakashi.

I could so see that! And Guy would go to Tsunade and try to get it repealed but she'd just shrug cause it's out of her hands. Meanwhile, Neji is excited but also nervous because of the other boys and I can see Lee being Tenten's unofficial chaperone in Guy's place.

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2010-01-03 21:40:08 +0000 UTC]

Ha, Guy and Junichi make me laugh. They're not enemies in the way Naruto and Sasuke are, but they aren't as friendly as Shika and Chouji. Somewhere in between that I think.

I always thought it was a protection thing. He doesn't want Lee to get hurt, and he honestly can only see Lee's chasing his dreams as ending in bad things.

And they would happily scamper off to Iruka, all three of them so eager to show him how much they've grown. While Guy takes a very much needed nap and prays that nothing explodes.

Eheehee, that does sound like fun!

That rule just makes me giggle. It's the only way she can get herself some freedom it seems. Shizune would certainly be amused.

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 21:51:01 +0000 UTC]

They're just so much fun! Definately not enemies like Sasuke and Naruto, but I agree, not as friendly as Choji and Skika. I think maybe they have a slightly antagonizing relationship where they both pick on the other mutually just to see how many buttons they can push, but they have each other's back without question, and know how far they can push the other or when it's not a good time. Like right after Obito died, I think Junichi would spend a lot of time comforting Rin and Guy would totally back off any teasing.

I could see that to. Especially because Neji's really never heard any of the teachers say different so he thinks if Lee just goes after his dreams he'll only get hurt. Could be another reason he's annoyed with Guy at first sometimes. Because he doesn't want him to fill Lee's head with unreachable dreams.

Awwwwwww. Napping Guy. hehe. I don't know why that image is so cute in my head but it is! And they would be so happy to talk to Iruka and tell him everything...but of course something would blow up. It's Guy's team. Probably someone left a paper bomb somewhere or Tenten wanted to show him a new weapons trick. I'm sure all the academy kids love when Guy's team comes by. It's nearly a guarantee no school tomorrow.

Shizune would definately get a kick out of it and probably have to tell Guy to stop looking for loopholes.

ode2sokka In reply to innocent-rebel [2010-01-03 22:07:13 +0000 UTC]

Yes, for sure! They know how to read each other, and while they enjoy teasing they never cross that line that Neji/TenTen/Lee will from time to time.

And I'm sure he's not sure what to think of Guy's relationship with TenTen. It would be easy to make the wrong assumptions when you didn't have all the facts.

Well, the poor man needs them!

Oh, I could see Hanabi begging Neji to come the day before a test she forgot to study for .

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 22:12:01 +0000 UTC]

I think one reason they may not cross the line, aside from knowing how to read each other, is that during the war, they know there may not be time for an apology. Or maybe that's just me. But yes, those two are such good friends! Then you add Kaori into the mix. lol. I'm sure she's had to smack them upside the head or pull their ears or headbands more than once.

Very very true. Poor Guy and Tenten. Poor Neji. I bet after he learned all the facts he'd feel pretty bad.

He really does! I guess it's just funny to think about Guy totally crashing or falling asleep up in a tree somewhere.

Hanabi. Such a cute little sneak. She totally would, and then do everything in her power to make sure chaos was caused. Probably beg Lee to teach them some new training when Iruka wasn't watching.

I love Kaori slamming their heads together, and she would not hesitate to do so . She's so very take charge, I love her to bits.

He'd feel awful, although a part of Guy would probably appreciate that he cares enough about TenTen to be concerned for her.

That's for sure! So adorable.

And they'd both do it for her is my favorite part.TenTen is the only one of the three that would call her on her evil schemes.

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 22:24:54 +0000 UTC]

Now that is an awesome mental picture! And the fact she's so take charge! I get this picture in my head of her just shushing them and everytime they open their mouth she's all. "EHHH! No talky!" She's such fun! I love your original team for Guy! I know I say that alot but I really do.

It'd be a bittersweet moment of relief for sure. Neji would feel horrible about what he'd thought, but also relieved he was wrong and that Tenten had Guy to keep her safe, and Guy would be glad that Neji cared so much about Tenten. Probably said a lot to Guy about Neji and how he was willing to stand up to anyone if he thought Tenten was in danger.

And for some reason I see Guy as the type to snore...which for some odd reason makes the scene even more adorable in my head. Darnit! I need to stop being such a fangirl!!!! XD

Tenten totally would, but I gotta wonder if begged enough if she wouldn't let this slide. Like Hanabi telling her what happened and that Iruka's going to murder her on that test if this doesn't happen.

She would! She so would. Duck tape them together if she had to! I'm glad you like them so much . Makes me feel like I'm doing something right.

They'd be awkward around each other for a while after that but...I don't know, I think it would help Neji to trust Guy more, for some reason. Like...he's got the muscle to back up those dreams.

Oh, for sure! While his team hides their head under their pillows.

So very true . She'd be willing to go with it if there was something in it for her. Like the chance to blow up the classrooms of some of the teachers that wanted to fail her and Lee and keep them from graduating.

innocent-rebel In reply to ode2sokka [2010-01-03 22:41:08 +0000 UTC]

Now that is awesome!! Makes me wonder if their sensei ever had to ask her to crack their heads together or something if they were bickering to much. lol. I bet they fear her when she has duck tape! That's when things get serious. You really did a great job making these characters. I just hope I don't bug you by drawing them a lot.

Agreed. It'd also show Neji that there are good people out there who aren't just looking out for themselves. Plus he'd feel like Tenten had someone to keep her safe when he wasn't there and probably want to prove to Guy he could do that to.

LOL!!!! Poor team!! Even if Lee snores to, it's got nothing on Guy! I'm sure Tenten has wanted to get earmuffs more than once.

Tenten: It's that teachers room you say? *cackles* Oh yes. I will help you!

I'm sure Tenten has many teachers she hated for how they treated her and Lee. Out of all of them, I think Lee would just be happy if they knew they'd made it, but Tenten would want to rub their noses in it.

Bug me? Heavens no! The only thing that I can think that makes me happier than seeing one of your drawings of my OC is getting one of your stories in my inbox .

I have no doubt that she would get Kaori to whack them a good one a time or two. When she herself was just too tired do it . Guy's been surrounded by a lot of strong females his whole life. Makes him good for TenTen .

Head under pillow, that much is for sure . And no doubt hoping that Neji is suffering just as badly as she is.

TenTen would want them there when they got their vests. And when they reach Jounin. And maybe wants to save their lives once or twice.

^^ Thank you!! That makes me feel really good!! ^^

And I imagine Yori smacked them upside the head a lot so when she asked Kaori you know she was tired. Or just exasperated. Probably hoping they'd be more scared of Kaori than her. I agree! And actually I think Kaori and his sensei were a big influence in how he see's women. Not just in terms of how he treats them, but like he doesn't expect them to be the weaker gender at all. Which is definately good for Tenten. Because I'm sure she enjoys hearing stories about Kaori or Yori kicking butt!!

lol. Totally! It'd be worse if both Guy and Lee were asleep at the same time and snoring. Poor Neji and Tenten! They'd probably try to figure out how to stuff cotton in their ears.

I can see her wanting to save their lives and then be all smug about it. Probably telling Lee to stop being so modest when she brought up all his and her acheivements.

They're probably her second and third favorite bed time story heros, right after Tsunade . Which is super cute in my head.

They'd probably rock-paper-scissors over who has to sleep closest to them .

Which she would do. With the subtlety of Tsunade with a brick.

...On a totally random note, what do you think of the title "To Heel, Apollo" ?

Awwww. They probably are!! That is really cute and I'm sure it makes Guy happy. She probably thinks it's so cool that Kaori did her hair like she does.

Oh yes. The rock paper scissors! Though I wonder, if Tenten lost, would she sucker Neji into sleeping closest anyways with her big eyes?

Watch, Tenten would carry around photos of them meeting/saving famous people just for this.

I like the title. ^^ Sounds intriguing.

No doubt. She probably begged Guy to do her hair like that as a kid .

You know...she totally would. And sooner or later Neji would realize it's pointless to argue with her about it.

Ha! I love it . She so would!
