Hello readers. This a little something I just cooked up.

I hope you all like it.

As you all know I don't own Naruto.


I do

Chapter 1

He doesn't love

It was lovely crisp October day. The wind blew as the orange/yellow leaves fell from the tree, giving the ambient a nice artistic color.

"I'm so tired of this!" A voice erupted through the empty streets of Konoha. A group of girls were having their weekly gather group when the oldest finally flipped.

"What's wrong Tenten?" Asked the pinked haired girl, as she stared along with her other two friends at the wildly angry Tenten.

"I'm tired of lying" She shouted again. "I'm tired of living in a lie" She whispered after a moment of silence, her eyes looking down at her pale hands.

"What are you talking about Tennie?" The blonde haired girl asked, quickly scooting closer and placing her hand over her friend's.

"I've lied to all of you" Tenten said as she looked up and stared into her worried friends eyes. "I've lied to myself"

"Lie? Lie about what?" The black haired woman asked.

"Sakura, Ino, Hinata… me and Neji are not as great as I bragged we were" Tenten sigh. "In fact Neji and I barely speak to each other"

"But Tenten, you said…"

"I know what I've been saying Sakura" Tenten said glaring at the pink haired girl. "It's just that all of you were speaking so well of your boyfriends. Saying how nice and romantic they were, I didn't want to be judge for loving someone so cold and distant"

"Tenten, that can't be true… I mean Neji loves you" Hinata quickly said.

"I don't think he does" Tenten shook her head and closed her eyes tight to keep herself from crying. She had been holding on to those tears for years. "Yes we have been together as man and woman, and for that brief moment I feel like he loves me, because he looked into my eyes and touches me but when we are not in bed and outside he treats me like his teammate, only calling me over to spar" Tenten said. "Neji has never asked me out on a date"

"Oh my god" Ino whispered, her eyes looked down at her half finished latte.

"I'm sorry I lied to you guys" Tenten said after a moment of silence.

"I'm sorry too" Ino said quickly after Tenten. "I've lied to you guys as well. Shikamaru is not the man I've been telling he is" She shook her head, as if she was shaking away all the lies she had convinced herself to be true. "The lazy, cold Shikamaru you all know is the Shikamaru that is with me" Ino said as she let one tear slip away. "Sometimes I think he's with me because he has no other choice, because everyone just expects him to be with me but I can see in his eyes how annoyed he is by me and my troublesome self"

"Sasuke is like that too" Sakura suddenly said. "I think he's with me because the other girls that use to follow him are now after someone else. It's like…"

"he picked you by default" Hinata said as she looked into Sakura's green jade eyes.

"Hinata?" Tenten asked.

"Naruto still loves Sakura" Hinata admitted as she let her tears run down her pale cheeks. "He doesn't admit it but I know he still does. Ever since we became something I told myself that I would make him forget Sakura and just see me but… it's impossible" she sobbed.

"Hinata… I'm so sorry" Sakura said with a quivering lip.

"It's not your fault" Hinata smiled sadly.

"Sometimes I just want to be away" Ino suddenly said.

"Me too" Said the other three in unison.

"But I… can't" Sakura said, her voice slightly breaking. She proceeded to place her hand over her belly. "I'm pregnant" She confessed.

"So am I" Ino said.

" And me" Hinata finally said after a moment.

" Me too" Tenten sigh. "But that doesn't mean we have to stay unhappy" She said, standing up. "Look the reason I confessed this to you guys was because I already asked Tsunade to send me away"

"Send you away?" Hinata asked.

"Yes. Like I said, I can't stand to live in a lie anymore. When Neji finds out I'm having his child, he'll ask me to marry him and I know that I'm too in love with him to say no and I don't want my baby to grow up feeling like he has to prove himself to his cold father"

"But Tenten…"

"And if my child become a Hyuga he will get the seal and I don't want this life for him" She explained. "And neither do yours. You and your children don't deserve to live like this"

"Tenten what are you saying?" Sakura asked.

"I'm saying to leave this place and forget about them and to heal" Tenten said. "Come on girls! Or would you rather stay here forever… and just keep pretending?"

"I'm in" Sakura said.

"Me too" Ino said.

The three girls looked at their quiet shy friend. "Hinata?" Tenten asked.

Hinata looked at her friends before sighing. "me three"
