-Only 2 hours until destination.-
"I'm getting so tired!" Akira had a bored face on and was trying the best he could to keep up with the rest of the team.
"Oh come on you can do it!" Their sensei Anko yelled from the front. "Tsk, you ate like 6 bars of chocolate, right now you have the energy of a four year old" Akira whispered. Tenten overheard and giggled. "I heard that!" Anko stopped and turned around. "You're gonna get it." Iori smirked. 'Crap' Akira tried to escape but someone tackled him. "What the heck?" Akira looked behind him and saw Ryo with his jutsu immobilizing him.
"You traitor!" Akira yelled as Anko smirked down at him.
"Well let's see what should I do to you?" Anko said teasingly. "Come on guys I want to go home so I can hear the mission!" Tenten said looking in the direction of Konoha. "Yeah let's forget about all this and go to Tsunade-sama." Akira smiled nervously. "Yeah right like she'll let you off the hook." Ryo's deep voice was heard from far away. "Yeah man I mean you're like Shikamaru and Naruto combined which is weird cus they're the opposites." Iori tried to explain and was left alone to blabber on in her own world.
Tenten sighed at the sight in front of her. When she turned around she saw Anko cutting some of Akira's spiky hair. His eyes grew like dinner plates and screamed. Meanwhile she looked to her right and saw Iori talking to herself. 'The sun is getting to her' She cleared her throat and took a deep breath.
"Guy's let's get going its getting late and I'm getting cranky!" Tenten's yell made everyone stop what they were doing and just look at her.
"Oh, yeah home!" Anko smiled and lead the way while Iori and Ryo to her side. Akira was still for a moment and sighed when he touched his hair, well where his hair used to be. Tenten was the last one to join by the fact that they moved fast to what she said.
She caught up to them and heard a conversation starting up.
"This is gonna be sweet I mean we haven't seen anybody like in three years!" Iori exclaimed. "Yep, I mean last time they saw you Iori you looked like a guy and now look at you! You look like the most girly dressed person I've ever meant!" Ryo explained. Iori thought of what Ryo said. He was right. Come on he's known her since they were like babies since they're cousins. Her hair didn't cover all her face just her left eye. She used to wear boy's clothes and now she wore a stripped shirt and blue shorts. 'Damn what happened to me?'
"I'm not the only one that changed I mean no offence now, but Ryo you used to sound like a girl and looked like a geek." Iori smiled remembering the good old times when Ryo was short and she was taller, well she's 5'8 now but he's 6'1. "What I don't understand is that how did you grow so tall?" Ryo thought about it and shrugged. Iori sighed.
"Come on, you two aren't the only one that changed." Akira sighed. "Yeah, Akira here used to have the worst haircut…"Tenten looked at Akira and sighed again. "Never mind." Iori and Anko laughed while Ryo smirked. "Oh shut up guys. Well Tenten at least you look different. I wonder who's gonna recognize you without the panda ears on?" Akira imitated Tentens old buns. "Yeah now that you cut your hair past the shoulders. They wouldn't recognize you!" Ryo said. Tenten wondered about it. 'Will my old team recognize me?'
"Don't worry about it Tenten everything will be alright!" Anko talked for the first time. "I still don't know why they called us back so early. We haven't mastered our powers yet!" Ryo explained. "There must be something going on in Konoha." Iori explained.
"Must be Sasuke." Tenten said getting to the point. "Right." Iori said sadly. "Alright we're almost there!" Akira yelled to break the silence. 'I'm worried for Tenten's health. Especially since she has to see her old team again. Can she handle seeing Neji after what she saw during our training?
"Wonder how my old team is?" Tenten said quietly. Everybody looked at her. Tenten didn't really want to talk about team much.
"Don't know, but hey they must be alright." Ryo said reassuring. "Yeah." Tenten let out a small smile that quickly disappeared. Anko looked ahead and grinned, "Hey everyone we're home." Everybody stopped running and looked in front of them. "Whoa everything looks the same." Iori looked around. They walked into the gates slowly looking around for changes. "Hey guys look at the monuments!" Akira pointed up. The team looked up and saw that Tsunade-sama's face was carved.
"Hey they're finally back." One of the guards said. The other one nodded "We sure need the now."
"To the Hokages office." Anko said leading the way.

"Tsunade-sama they're here!" Shizune interrupted the meeting that she was having. "Good." She smiled at the people at who she was talking to. "You have an idea of who she's talking about?" Tsunade looked at the expectantly. "Yes." A deep voice said. Lee looked from Neji to Tsunade then to Gai-Sensei. "Is it her?" Lee said getting excited. "Yes Lee she's back!" Gai-Sensei smiled. "Yes!" Lee started jumping around happily. Neji and Gai-Sensei had smiles on their faces. Gai-Sensei looked at his students. 'We're finally going to be together after so long.'
A knock on the door interrupted the moment.
"Come in!" Tsunade smiled at the door.
"Tenten!" Lee hugged the person who opened the door. There was a moment of silence until another deep voice brought them back to earth. "Um, Lee that's not Tenten, That's Tenten." Ryo pointed to the girl behind him. Lee looked at the person who he was holding and immediately let go. "Lee I couldn't breathe." Iori was trying to regain her breathe. "Sorry. Um who are you?" Iori looked at him in shock.
"You don't remember me?" Iori asked. Lee just shook his head. "That's Iori Lee." Neji explained.
"Neji." Neji heard a whisper. "Come on Tenten look at them." Ryo got out of Tenten's way. Now the rest of team Gai saw the back of their old female companion. Their eyes grew wide when they saw that Tenten had a sword tucked in her back for fighting. Her hair was out of its buns and were past her shoulders barely. She wore short baggy shorts and a red Chinese style shirt.
'Come on Tenten you can face them. You can face him!' Tenten took a deep breath and turned around.
Gai and Lee gasped seeing their old teammate after a long time while Neji just stood them with his mouth open.
When he did move, he moved his lips and whispered "Tenten".
