Title: With a little help
Characters/Pairing: Neji (Lee, Tenten, Hinata; very, very light hints at Neji/Hinata. Or Neji/Tenten. Or Neji/Lee. Yeah, I don't know either.)
Rating: PG
Warnings: off-handed upsetting issues, though no abuse and nothing sexual. Tenten's mother is in the hospital, very sick, possibly dying.
Summary: Just because, as a shinobi, you're expected to be able to take pain – fist-through-the-chest kind of pain – doesn't mean you've got to take the small kind as well.
Notes: For some reason these are in reverse chronological order; the first is In The Future, the second is the missing two-year-and-a-half era, the third is pre-timeskip. Title from “With a Little Help From My Friends”.
Fights to the death are rough to everybody.
