Last Dance
Tenten was dancing. The training ground was quiet and the silver moon above was her only witness. The leaves swirled around her as she spun faster and faster. She spun and spun until her hair buns went loose and her head became dizzy. Yet she kept spinning, wondering if this was how Neji felt when he activated his Kaiten.
She lasted for five minutes before she lost her bearing and collapsed on her knees. The feeling of despair overwhelmed her and she broke down in tears the first time in years. She had failed him. Now she could never get him back.
And then she heard a familiar voice that she thought was impossible to hear again.
"Tenten, take my hand."
She looked up with a start and saw Neji stretched his hand towards her with a frown. After what felt like an eternity, she blinked away her tears and obliged.
This time they finally dance together.
