Hi guys! Hope you like this fanfic.

I don't own anything about naruto.

This is my first fanfic, so let me know what you think.


"Come with me," A small boy with long brown hair which was barely being restrained with a hair tie as the hair flowed down his back. The boy looked different from his normal self. He didn't seem cheerful, he seemed in pain as he offered his hand out to the girl next to him.

The girl smiled gently as her hair got tossed around in the wind, "Okay." She took Neji's hand and walked with him over to under a cherry blossom tree. Neji sat TenTen down, kneeling in front of her. For an 8 year old, he looked much older for his years and had the wisdom of someone much farther along in life than himself. "What's wrong?" TenTen asked in a sweet and concerned voice as she looked at your friend. "Do you want to play chess?" TenTen offered, she knew how the game cheered up the young boy before her. She hardly understood how to play the game, but knew it would make Neji a bit happier.

A smile broke on Neji's face at TenTen's offer before the sadness returned. "I can't. I have to get going." Neji replied to TenTen as he stared at the ground. He let out a sigh. He wasn't even looking up but he could feel TenTen's confused face looking at him. "Uncle Hiashi is moving me away. It doesn't matter why, but he doesn't want me talking to you anymore."

TenTen looked at her friend confused. "What are you talking about? Why can't I talk to you?" TenTen asked as she moved to kneel instead of sitting on the ground. She didn't understand and she didn't get an answer from the young Hyuuga before her. Tears threatened to spill at her eyes since all she understood was that Neji was leaving her. "When are you coming back?" Neji got up to his feet and delivered the words that shattered her heart, leaving a wound that wouldn't be healed for years.

"I'm not."

A loud ringtone sounded off, the phone vibrating on the nightstand, breaking the dreams of its owner. The brown haired girl pulled the sheets back over her head, sticking her hand out from under the sheets and searching blindly for the phone at her bedside. She must have fallen asleep talking to Lee, or Sakura, or Ino, TenTen didn't even remember anymore who it had been. All she knew now was that she was getting a phone call and answering her phone would be the only way to get the loud noise to stop blasting from her cell phone.

After several moments of searching, and knocking off several things from the nightstand, TenTen found her cellphone and pulled it back under the covers to her ear. "Hello?" TenTen asked in a quiet and groggy voice. Her dream faded away from her mind as her sleepy voice was met by a higher pitched and irritated voice on the other end of the line.

"TenTen! Get up, geez. I can't believe you fell asleep again." Sakura complained. "I called you for some help and you fall asleep. After that, you don't even show up at the train station? What the hell is this TenTen?" Sakura asked annoyed. TenTen shot up out of bed, throwing the covers off of her as she scrambled to check the clock. She kept the phone pressed to her ear while she read the time, 7:40. That left her with 20 minutes to make to class in time.

"Look, I'm sorry. I got really tired. It's been a long week already. I'm exhausted." TenTen reminded Sakura as she apologized. While TenTen was trying to make things right with her pink haired friend, she was also running around the room and grabbing her uniform. She pulled on the black skirt, which had a white line going around the bottom about an inch before the hem. The brunette rolled the skirt twice just so it wouldn't be so long and would hang a few inches above her knee instead of below her knees. The uniform top came next. She buttoned the white oxford shirt, wrapped her tie around her neck to be tied later before throwing her blazer on over her shoulders.

"I know." Sakura said sighing. "You should get more sleep," Sakura suggested. TenTen could hear Sakura's smile through the phone. TenTen had just finished pulling on her white knee high socks. She moved to the bathroom and started pinning her lock chocolate locks up into two buns on the top of her head. "I would get more sleep if I didn't have friends that kept me up all night talking to me about boy drama." TenTen teased. "Hey, look. I'm running late as it is." TenTen said as brushed her teeth. "I'll see you in a bit."

"See you soon." Sakura replied. And with that, TenTen hung up the phone and started her morning rush. She grabbed her book bag and finished getting ready for school. After pulling on her shoes, TenTen ran out the door, locking it behind her. She ran down the streets of her neighborhood, trying to get to the train station in time. She glanced down at her phone, "Come on," TenTen whispered, praying that she'd be there in time to catch the 7:50 bullet train. She ran even faster as the minutes slipped away from her.

A grin split across TenTen's face as she dashed into her first period class just in time. She was in her seat just as the bell rang, signaling the start of her math class. At her side was Sakura, on her other side was her other friend, Hinata. "Made it just in time." TenTen said.

"TenTen…. Y-You, might want to t-tie your tie," Hinata suggested in a soft whisper of a voice. TenTen glanced down to her tie.

"Thanks," TenTen replied with a gentle smile back at the indigo haired friend of hers. She finished tying the piece of cloth around her neck just before the teacher walked into the room. All around the room there was talking and chit chat but as the teacher walked into the room, the sound went away.

"Alright class," A bored voice started off that belonged the English teacher Kakashi, who was reading a book as he spoke. "Let's pick off where we left off yesterday." He said as he snapped his book shut, slipping it into his back pocket. He grabbed an old gray piece of chalk, which was the same color as his hair.

Kakashi's voice was the only sound the filled the room, as students took notes on his words about the story they had read for homework the night before. TenTen had one hand taking notes while the other held her head up, she was drifting off to sleep. Staying up to all hours the night before with Sakura had been an awful idea and it was having an effect on her now.

"I should really start drinking coffee." TenTen thought to herself while she stifled a yawn. She glanced up hearing a knock at the door. She looked to the clock, ten minutes into class and she was already falling asleep.

"Who is coming into class this late?" TenTen glanced around the room, all the normal seats were taken. She saw the same familiar faces she did every day, Sasuke, Naruto, Ino, Lee, Kiba, and so many others. They were all there. So she looked back up, wondering who was at the door. Kakashi turned away from the chalk board and answered the door.

There were a few minutes where TenTen couldn't hear the words that were being passed between Kakashi sensei and whoever it was that was out in the hall.

"What's going on?" TenTen asked Sakura confused.

"Maybe we're getting a new student?" Sakura asked in a perky tone of voice, excited at the thought. TenTen smiled at the idea.

"Ya really think so?" TenTen asked. She glanced at Hinata who looked frozen. "Hinata, what's wrong?" TenTen asked her friend, concerned.

No answer came, but TenTen followed Hinata's line of sight and saw why Hinata had froze. There was a moment of silence between squeals of joy erupted inside the class room. TenTen cringed at all the high pitched noises coming from the various fan girls in the room. She shouldn't have expected any less when Neji Hyuuga was the one walking into the room.

Neji scanned the room of people around him and his eyes found TenTen's, there was a gentle smile on his face. TenTen on the other hand was dazed and couldn't help but stare at the boy before her. So many feelings twisted and turned inside of her.

"This is Neji Hyuuga. He's come back home to finish his schooling." Kakashi said to the class, breaking TenTen away from her thoughts.

"What the hell is he doing back here?" TenTen hissed at Sakura and Hinata both as a pain in her chest returned from a memory from so many years ago. She focused on Hinata for answers since after all, Neji was her cousin. Hinata would surely know why he was back in Konoha after so many years?

"I don't know," Hinata confessed quietly as she peeked a glance up at TenTen.

"Maybe if you'd shut up, you could listen and find out." Sakura replied to TenTen, grabbing the brunette's hand and making her face forward again so they could hear Neji speak.
