TenTen was probably the best at the underground cage fighting, only after the master, Konan, had moved on, though. No one could compare to TenTen's strength and will-power. The only reason she fought was so she wouldn't have to go home to her old apartment which rests in the worst part of town, the South Konoha. The city of Konoha was big alright, but it had it's bad parts.
TenTen was resting in the worst.
Born an orphan, she had to fend for herself. Her parents had died in a car crash, and she was living at the orphanage until she was 14, when she ran away. Being there, just seeing the place made shivers room down her spine. She now lived in a very small apartment, where leaches liked to loom. One leach, though, wasn't as bad as the others, his name was Jiraiya. Sure, he was a pervert, but he taught her how to defend herself, and here she is now, 16, and living the dream. Wait, back track, living. Just living.
Despite her looks, behind her crystal brown eyes and her beautiful tan skin, with her silky brown hair she always kept up in her buns, she could take down a professional wrestler without even a blink. Her skills were like no other.
Her aim with a gun? Amazingly accurate. Her power in a punch? Death worthy. Her gracefulness? Flawless. She was an amazing fighter.
So there she stood, clad in her green sports bra and tight black shorts with her green wrappings around her fists she stood, watching as a newbie died, and the careless referee just threw his body on the floor.
Yeah, that's right, people died, it was a free for all. If the opponent doesn't give up, the other opponent can kill them. And the bodies would just lay on the floor, giving a foul stench to the place.
TenTen never got close to death, or even let the words 'I give up', come out of her mouth. She was a fighter, she would survive. The 'cling' of the bell sounded, and TenTen moved her white sneakers through the piles of rotten bodies, ready to face her match. The girls name was Kin. From what TenTen could tell about her fighting style, an easy punch to the back of her head would knock her out.
Stepping into the sliver cage, the announcer locked it, letting the two girls stare each other down. TenTen smirked, she would win. Cracking her knuckles, she let the audience cheer as the announcer began to introduce the fighters.
"We have Kin Tsuyoi, The Cat Creature, as you all know her! Clap for her!" Several claps boomed through the tiny space. Tin was a tall girl, who did, actually, resemble a cat. Wearing a cow patterned sports bra and short, brown shorts with white knuckle wrappings, she smirked, thinking she was going to win the fight.
TenTen's smirk formed. No, she wouldn't have that happening. "And fighting The Cat Creature tonight is TenTen! Also known as The Brave Bear! (1)" The announcer called out. TenTen smiled and waved as she got more cheers than Kin.
"Good luck!" TenTen called to her opponent, who just snarled in return. 'Just trying to be nice kitty cat..' She stuck out her tongue at her enemy and trotted over, getting into her position.
The bell rang and punches were thrown at TenTen. Of course, she easily dodged. Smirking, TenTen went for a fist in the stomach, but her fist was caught and Kin's other fist was aimed at TenTen's head. Moving backwards, TenTen kicked Kin in the stomach, realizing her hand and sending The Cat Creature tumbling back. Getting back in her stance, TenTen's hands were blocking her face, as Kin got angry, the less she focused, but the harder the punches were.
TenTen had enough. Rolling her eyes, she swiped her opponents hands into her fist, and punched the girl in the back of the neck, making her go limp in the brown eyed beauties arms. Carefully putting the other girl on the ground, TenTen flung her hands up and smiled as the crowd cheered, she took her victory with pride and honor. Unlocking the cage, TenTen stepped outside, going into the rusty locker rooms.
'Yes! Another victory! I can't wait to win again…after I finish my homework…at the new school…' TenTen gulped nervously at her thoughts. "I'll do great, even though it's September and school started August first! I'll do great!" She cheered for herself, knowing the false enthusiasm wasn't working. She sighed, and pulled on some grey sweat pants over her shorts, and pulling over her head a green t-shirt.
Grabbing her bag, she went out the backdoor, and into the cold winter night. She had a long night ahead of her for walking. She shuffled her black converse in the snow, her head held high as she walked the abandoned rode. Snow flakes covered her bangs lightly as she sighed contently. She let a smile graze her face and she walked past The worst part of Konoha's park, where she stopped and stood, just watching the snow fall. She let her thoughts take over her mind.
'Out of all the schools, I had to be placed in the one where all the rich snobs go. Woo-fricin -Hoo' She thought in a sarcastic tone in her head. The wind gently blew her bangs, blocking her right eye. She shook her head, snapping out of her thoughts and sighed, walking the way back to her run down apartment.
!*!*!*!*!*!**!*!*!*!*!*!*!
Sighing, she plopped onto her lumpy couch with a cup of shrimp ramen. She inhaled deeply. "Ahh, Ramen!" She cheered, grabbing her chop sticks and slurping up the noodles greedily. She watched the Tv, on the news channel. It was the only channel she could afford, sure, she won lots of money from the cage fights, but….well, she lost it. She wasn't very organized. The news reporter was dressed in her usual suit, outside the orphanage TenTen came from. She glared at the screen, thankful she was out of the place.
"Jd Kanashii has been missing for more than 5 days, the orphan was last spotted at the park, where she was suspected to be kidnapped on 11/6/10" The news lady reported, a picture of the girl on the right of the screen, the girl had pale blond hair, and black swirl tattoo's on each of her cheeks, with black eyes, the girl wasn't smiling, her eyes looked blood-shot, she looked 15 and TenTen felt pity for her,- no- all the unfortunate kids in the place. Turning off her TV, she sighed, laying down on the couch, staring at the ceiling.
Her hands folded on her stomach, she slowly closed her eyes, her half eaten ramen on the table. Soon, she feel asleep, all of her school things in the corner, the alarm clock set on the same table as the ramen.
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
'Beep, Beep, Beep!' TenTen's alarm rang, making her fall off the couch. "What the hell?" She groaned, smashing her alarm clock with her fist. She jumped up with a huge smile, running to the bathroom to change and do the usual, coming out in a blue pull over sweat shirt and black basketball shorts, with her ankle high neon green converse, and of course she had in her hair buns. She didn't really care that it was winter.
Stuffing her green school bag with the books she had, she grabbed her rusty key and locked the door on her way out. "If only I knew where the school was…" She mumbled to herself.
She sweat dropped, but it left when she used her brain. Running down the hallway, she banged on Jiraiya's door, clutching her bag in her other hand. A very tired looking Jiraiya opened the door. "Yes? Oh! TenTen! What'a need?" He asked, grinning. TenTen smiled at him, he was like the uncle she never had. "Hey! Can you tell me where the school is?" She asked.
Jiraiya nodded. "I'll drive you!" TenTen looked shocked. "I don't want to bother you!"
"It won't be a bother, let's go!" He grabbed his keys and locked his door, standing out in the mold covered hallway with TenTen.
"No! It's fine, really!"
"I'm driving you, lets go!"
TenTen sighed, nodding. "I really appreciate it." She stated, slinging her bag over her shoulder. "No problem" He said, opening the door for her. TenTen said a thanks and walked into the cold outside world. She shivered lightly.
Jiraiya walked to the Volkswagon Touareg, opening the doors and sliding in. TenTen gaped at the car before doing the same. "You have an awesome car!" She commented while closing the door, running her tan hand over the leather bound seat. "Thanks!" He told her, starting up the engine and pulling out of the broken down driveway.
"I got it when I was your age, before my parents died, That's why I live in that hell hole." He pointed the apartment. TenTen shrugged. "Sometimes, it's better than the streets." She said. He didn't know about her cage fighting, and she didn't plan to tell him soon. He turned on the radio, playing 'In the Shadows' By The Rasmus (2). TenTen smiled and started
'No sleep No sleep until I am done with finding the answer Won't stop Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer Sometimes I feel I going down and so disconnected Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted
TenTen began to sing along quietly. Jiariya smiled and turned his head to her. "Don't be shy, Sing!" He commanded. TenTen happily smiled back at him and sang along even more, patting her legs with her hand to the beat of the song.I've been watching I've been waiting In the shadows all my time I've been searching I've been living For tomorrows all my life In the shadows In the shadows They say That i must learn to kill before i can feel safe But I I rather kill myself then turn into their slave Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder Somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder I've been watching I've been waiting In the shadows all my time I've been searching I've been living For tomorrows all my life Lately I been walking walking in circles, watching waiting for something Feel me touch me heal me, come take me higher I've been watching I've been waiting In the shadows all my time I've been searching I've been living For tomorrows all my life I've been watching I've been waiting I've been searching I've been living for tomorrows In the shadows In the shadows I've been waiting'
Jiraiya clapped as he parked in the school parking lot. "Bravo!" He cheered. TenTen blushed. "Thanks.." She mumbled, getting out of the car. She waved goodbye to her ride as Jiraiya drove away. She sighed and faced her new school. 'St. Hokage's high….interesting name.' She thought to herself, walking through the snow and into the main office.
'At least everyone's in their classes, no awkwardness yet!' She cheered inside her head, looking through the clear glass doors before finally opening them to walk into it. The smell of lemon scented the room as she walked up to the secretary. "Name." The woman asked without looking up. TenTen cleared her throat nervously. "Uh, TenTen, I'm new here." The woman looked up surprised with a smile. "Of course! I'll go get your schedule!" She shouted, running off into a backroom, leaving a nervous TenTen standing in the middle of the room, praying no one else would walk into the office. 'Click''
'Damn it! Why god? WHY?' She yelled in her head, glaring at the sky. The sound of the door closing snapped her out of her thoughts as she looked to see who it was. A boy with long, dark chestnut hair and pale white eyes stared straight ahead, clutching a note in his grip. TenTen rolled her eyes as she recognized the eyes: Hyuga.(3).
'Fricin stick up the ass Hyuga's, who do they think they are? Always acting so high and mighty..' She growled in her head. The boy turned his head to her. "May I help you?" he asked coldly. TenTen huffed and turned away from him, crossing her arms. 'Don't punch him, don't punch him…'
"Here ya go! Oh! Mr. Hyuga, I'll take that." The woman said, handing TenTen her schedule and taking the note Mr. Hyuga Had in his hands. Hyuga was about to leave before she stopped him. "Neji! Show TenTen around! Oh, by the way, I'm Shizune, the assistant principal." She greeted TenTen. TenTen shook the hand that was held out to her as Neji walked over. "Let's go." he grumbled meanly.
Tenten rolled her eyes and walked out of the office, resisting the urge to slam the door. "I'm not going to show you around tomorrow, so remember where I go." He said rudely. Tenten glared.
"Whatever, Neji Wedgie .(4)"
'And the game begin….'
