A/N: This NejiTen story might be slightly different from the ones I've written before. I got the idea from a song, but this story isn't based on it. :D Hope you all enjoy it!

I will be here

Chapter 1 – First time diaster

"TenTen, you are to escort back Lady Tsukima back to here," Tsunade instructed, pointing at the map, "Once you are there, you will find an old shed. As soon as her lady is in the shed, your mission can be considered a success."

"Uh huh," TenTen nodded.

"However, you will have to do this mission alone. You see, there are enemies who wanted to well… take advantage of Lady Tsukima. Her clan is very much powerful and hated as well," the Hokage informed, "We cannot risk sending a large group and catch attention. So, this one is more of an individual mission. I trust that you are fine with it?"

"Of course," TenTen replied, taking the file from Tsunade.

"Arrive to the gate in an hour from now."

"Yes," TenTen bowed and left quickly.

The brunette jumped from roof to roof, brimming with excitement. She had never been assigned an individual mission before. She knew that she's perfect for this mission because she doesn't use much chakra as the others, making it hard to sense her.

XXXXXXXX

"Are you TenTen?"

"Huh?" TenTen turned around, "Oh yes. I am. And you must be lady Tsukima!"

"Yes," the beautiful lady answered, "Now, please carry my bags for me."

TenTen was stunned. There were at least 3 bags.

"Umm… I do not think it is okay to carry that many bags. It'll just slow us down," TenTen explained, "We should arrive there before sunset. It's safer that way."

"I knew Konoha ninjas are useless," Lady Tsukima critized. This made TenTen's blood boil.

"How about you leave that gigantic scroll of yours and take two of my bags instead? I'll carry this small one!"

TenTen bit her lips. She didn't feel comfortable leaving her scroll, but she doubt that she would need it. But then, it's always good to be prepared and besides she's doing this mission alone. Oh crap… what have I gotten myself into? –TenTen

"Err… Hello?" the lady waved her hand in front of TenTen, "If you can't do it, then I'll ask for another one to escort me."

"No no. Don't do that," TenTen said, holding back her temper, "I'll leave my scroll."

Just then Neji caught TenTen's eyes.

"Neji! Great! Do me a favor, keep my scroll for a while, alright?" TenTen asked, handing over the scroll, "I'll be back tomorrow morning or possibly tonight."

"Eh?" Neji said confused.

"Please just keep it," TenTen literally begged.

"Well? You two lovebirds done talking?" Lady Tsukishima interrupted.

"I'm sorry and thank you," TenTen said as she lifted the two heavy bags.

Then turning to her mission, "Let's go."

Neji watched quietly as his teammate walked away. He suddenly had a very bad feeling. He immediately went back to his house and placed the scroll right beside their team photo. He looked at the smiling TenTen in the photo.

Be safe –Neji

"Let's rest!"

"Tsukima-sama, we're nearly there and it's almost sun set. We should push on!" TenTen persisted.

"Hey. I paid for the service, alright? You listen to me!" Tsukima snapped back.

Arrogant little fowaieofpvcobho! UGHHHH if she wasn't so important, I swear, she'll be a pincushion by now! – TenTen

TenTen took a deep breath and sat across the mouthy woman. While serving water, she suddenly perked up. Someone was there.

"We better move. Something is not right," TenTen whispered.

"Huh?" Tsukima daren't protested after seeing the glare from the weapon mistress.

The protective shed was in view now and TenTen felt relived. However, it didn't last long. TenTen dropped the bags, lifted Lady Tsukima and jumped onto a tree.

"What the hell was that about?" the ungrateful lady accused.

TenTen ignored her and quickly jumped from tree to tree, towards the shed.

"HEY! Are you deaf?" Tsukima struggled, "I said, put me down! And why did you leave the bags behind?"

"There are people following us! So just shut up and stay still!" TenTen snapped back.

Lady Tsukima was shocked, "Well, guess what? I refused to enter the shed without those bags!"

"What is so important in that bag?"

"Well, there are my jewelries! And I MUST have them! You better listen to me or I will make sure you can no longer be a ninja!"

TenTen glared angrily at the lady, "Fine. Stay here. Do NOT move at all!"

TenTen stuck three seal strip in a triangular form around the lady she hates the most.

"If you move, they will see you. So don't move whatever happens!" TenTen reminded before she left quietly, but swiftly.

TenTen grabbed the bags and went back to the Tsukima as fast as she could. Just as she was about to arrive, she heard a blood chilling, hair rising scream.

"Oh no!" TenTen murmured. She threw 5 kunais at the two men who were pulling Tsukima. They quickly jumped away.

"TenTen! Thank god!" Tsukima said as TenTen appeared before her.

"What happened? Didn't you listen to me?" TenTen yelled, very very (and I mean VERY) pissed.

Tsukima recoiled from the anger, "W-Well… I dropped a ring and it rolled over. So I crawl over to pick it up…."

Her voice trailed off as she met TenTen's murderous look.

"Well, go into the shed NOW!" TenTen ordered as she took out her small scrolls and summoned her weapons towards the men.

Tsukima was about to enter the teleportation pad in the shed when she dropped her diamond ring. It rolled outside the shed.

"Gotcha!" she said, slamming her ring on the ground.

"Got YOU!" a thin man said, lifting Tsukima off the ground, "You silly woman. You never should have left the protective shed. You know we can't enter it!"

"TENTEN HELP!" Tsukima screamed.

TenTen turned around. It was a big mistake. The burly man punched her and she was flown across and hit hard on a tree. Luckily, TenTen was used to it. She always gets hit like that during her training with Neji. TenTen quickly summon more weapons, but this time with explosive.

BOOM! The burly man couldn't see anything from the thick smoke. TenTen took this opportunity to save Tsukima. She had run out of scroll to summon, so, she had no choice but to fight off the thin man with taijutsu.

"Thank you so much!" Tsukima said, tears running down her cheek.

"LOOK OUT!" TenTen yelled as she pushed Tsukima into the shed.

Tsukima landed on the pad and disappeared with a poof. Then the protective screen disappeared as well.

TenTen tried to escaped, but her head was spinning from the impact she took before.

"Damn it! Tsukima escaped!"

"Yeah. Thanks to this stupid girl!"

"Let's waste her."

TenTen moaned out a soft "No" before blackness took over.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

What is going to happen to TenTen? Will she be saved?

A/N: It's cheesy to put those last question punch lines, but I think it makes this chapter more exciting. =D Please review!
