Tentens POV
Todays is the day. My birthday. My thirteenth birthday.
I'm the youngest on my team but they don't know how old I am... I never really told them, They never asked either.
I'm Found to be the useless one, I dream of being a great ANBU one day, but i doubt it will happen with my limited jutsu knowledge and that I only throw weapons. I'm not the most respected, i used to be treated like dirt by Neji, even Lee for awhile. But they soon found my precision helpful and to our advantage.
When I arrived a the training ground Neji was meditating as I assumed Lee and Gai-sensai weren't here because they'd started their 300 laps around konoha. Sighing I walked over and sat next to Neji. Surprisingly, he opened his pearly blue eyes and looked at me.
"Happy birthday" he stated.
I was surprised to say the least I mean he talked! Thats not normal.
"How old are you?" he asked, My mouth still agape. I thought a few minutes and realized that they were all 13 as am i as of today, but if I said I was 14 I'd be respected around here for being the oldest!!
"Fourteen, and thank you for remembering," I said calmly.
"Y-your fourteen?" he stuttered.
I giggled and replied with a "Yes, why?"
"No reason.." and thats all he said before going back to meditating.
FOUR YEARS AND A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER TENTEN'S 18'TH (17'TH) BIRTHDAY, AT LUNCH WITH INO, HER BEST FRIEND.
"So, Ino, how are you and Shika-nii-chan doing?"I asked while waiting for my ramen to cool. Shika was like my brother i met him when i was at a young age, and after losing my Brother and the rest of my family, her practically was my big brother.
"We're great! He made us dinner last night and served it with little candles on his porch it was so sweet!" she replied then giggled.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Well it's just that he asked me if I wanted to move in with him and Chouji but I told him that I couldn't leave you, so he said that if we wanted to we could sell out apartment and they'd sell theirs, that way we can buy a house with three bedrooms and 2 baths, but only if it's ok with you...." she trailed off.
"Oh my gosh Ino of course its ok! But i get my own room right??"
"Of course, relax tennie, Oh! And I kinda had to tell him, cause otherwise he'd be suspicious if we were randomly leaving and I didn't want him to worry and-"
"Ino."
"I hope you don't mind, you don't do you? and if-"
"Ino."
"Cause-"
"INO!"
"huh?"
"It's fine, does Chouji know? Cause him and I are pretty good friends same with shika, so it's ok they're not gonna tell anyone." I smiled and looked at the sixteen year old girl next to me, "But, if you and Shikamaru are sharing a room...."
"Tenten!!" she yelled," You know shikamaru isn't like that!"
"But I don't know you aren't!! lol" I watched her face get red and kinda puffy. "Hey I'm just kidding!" I put my hands up defensively.
Ino shook her head Then we began to eat, while eating I thought about how we met.
FLASHBACK
Three years ago I walked into a flowershop, to see if i could use their bathroom. I walked up to the counter were a beautiful young blonde girl who sat arranging some roses. She smiled not looking up., "Hello, how can i help you?" she asked cheerfully.
"Well i was wondering if you had somewhere i could wash up at..." I asked feeling some blood trickling down my cheek.
"I'm sorry not in here," SH elooked up at me. "Oh dear Come with me I'll help you with that there is a bathroom in my house upstairs!"
"Thank you, your the closest place from where I was."
She nodded pronouncing a "Follow me," as she began leading me to her house.
When we got into a bathroom,, she cleaned my wound and put some anti-bacterial stuff on it.
"There," she said finishing the wrap. " My name is Ino by the way."
"Tenten," I smiled
"Oh we should get going I have something for you so you can remember me!"
We got back to the flower shop and she gave me 3 yellow roses.
"They mean friendship," she said. "visit me again, we'll be great friends!!" she said waving good bye.
and it all went up-hill from there.
I had visited her numourous times and we became best friends. She got in a fight with her parents and she stayed at my house for the longest time so we decides to share a house and now here we are hust like sisters.

I smiled to myself and the memories.
"So Ten, whens the next mission?"
"uh tomorrow I have one with my old team going to suna."
"ok, well we gotta go pack so we can get a movin in with shika!!" she managed to giggle out. "I'll still move when your gone ok?"
"OK." I smiled this is great.
