wow haven't done a nejiten one in a while lmao! well i won't wast time with this just remember that if some of the future characters are a little random or confusing read my older stories What a mission can cause and what a mission can cause p 2 it will make so much more sense since this takes place afterwards also Yumi Haruno is an OC my friend made up she is Sakura's cousin two years older than Tenten one of her best friends as well as a medic enjoy
The lights were bright, the sounds of squeaking wheels and beeps of monitors surrounded the team as they ran, the smell of blood and anesthetics filled their noses, as they refused to leave their teammate's side. They had gone on a mission not too long before, the mission went well of course, it was the way home that they had problems. The only female of the group had taken the brunt of the battle, doing her best to not fight behind the scenes and keep her friends from getting injured, ending up with her requiring immediate medical attention.
The white eyed boy, who had not let go of his comrade's hand since the battle, was reluctant to leave her as she entered the E.R., it took five nurses to stop him. "Neji, she'll be fine, for now we need to tend to our wounds," the team's sensei, a 30 year old man wearing green spandex, told the seventeen year old boy, practically dragging him into another room.
The rest of the team's injuries were no where as serious as their friend., just a few cuts and scrapes compared to the gaping hole that was in her side. Bandages and maybe a pain killer were really all that was necessary for them, afterwards they waited outside the E.R. the worst case scenario appeared in everyone's minds. Two very familiar nurses appeared, stopping in front of the team.
"Hey guys," the pink haired one greeted, the sensei and one of his pupils replied a 'hello' or 'hello, youthful Sakura-san' Neji remained silent.
"Okay, I don't get it," the other nurse asked, pushing a strand of dark blonde hair out of her face. "Just, how is it that Tenten's the only one to have been hurt enough to need the E.R.?"
"Yumi-onee," Sakura started, then whispered, "Neji's feeling guilty, look at his face, maybe we shouldn't talk about this."
"She was protecting us," Neji stated, his lips were the only part of his body that moved, he stayed completely still.
"Um, Gai?" Sakura asked, looking for confirmation.
"He's right, if Tenten hadn't tried to block the blows for us, we would be the ones in there right now. And Tenten, well, she would probably be the only one sitting out worrying about us as we worry about her," Gai explained.
"All right, take those worried looks off your faces," Yumi started, after she stomped her foot. "And get those worst case scenarios out of your head, the more you worry the worst, the worst will happen. Now start thinking, 'she will be fine' and truly believe it. Of course, it will be awhile before she comes back to training and missions, but she's alive isn't she? Be goddamn thankful for that!"
"Yumi-san is right, Tenten is strong! She will not let something like this delay her for too long!" the last teammate, another boy wearing green spandex, cheered.
"Um, you do realize we're in a hospital, right, Lee? Gai?" Sakura inquired, annoyed.
"Gomen ne, Sakura-san," Lee apologized.
Then the emergency room door opened, Tsunade was the first to come out, a bed on wheels was behind her, a bandaged girl with long brown hair was on it. "Take her into room D232," Tsunade ordered, suddenly realizing there was company. "Yumi, Sakura, I thought I told you to care for those patients?"
"We did, half an hour ago," Sakura replied.
"We came over here because we heard about Tenten," Yumi explained.
"How is she, Tsunade-sama?" Gai asked.
"She lost a lot of blood, and your wounds compared to what we found on her, were really just scrapes, she must've gotten hit on the head a couple times, considering the swelling lump on the back of her head, I doubt she'll be able to move much when she wakes up, but she'll live. She just might not wake up for a couple days," Tsunade explained, about to walk away, then stopped and turned around. "One more thing, I cannot stress this enough, but if you are not quiet when you visit her, it not only disturbs her rest, but it can make it take longer for her to recover enough for training. Do I make myself clear?"
"Hai, Tsunade-sama," everyone replied.
"Good, she'll be in room D232, visiting hours are almost up but I'll let you three slide this time," Tsunade said.
"It's too bad Takashi was sent on that mission earlier," Sakura pointed out. "He was really looking forward to see her when she came back."
"That's right, he left maybe an hour before you guys got here," Yumi added.
"Takashi isn't going to be happy when he hears about Tenten being in the hospital," Gai stated. "He never is."
"Hopefully Tenten will be awake when he comes back," Lee added cheerfully.
The group came up to the room Tenten was staying in. Neji had remained silent the whole time, thinking of all the ways he could have protected Tenten with minimal damage to both of them. There were none with minimal damage for both. They all ended with Neji in the spot Tenten was in then. He would have preferred it that way, but Tenten, on the contrary, wouldn't.
Neji opened the door, revealing the white hospital bedroom, and a pale girl with long brown hair, bandages covering most of her body, two IVs, one filled with IV fluid, the other filled with blood, her middle finger was hooked to the monitor beside her, making a steady beep….beep…beep rhythm, and lastly an oxygen mask on her face. This was the weakest state any of the young weapons mistress's friends had seen her in. It was painful for all of them, but mostly Neji, he was the last one to speak to her before she lost consciousness.
"We'll leave you three alone with her," Yumi offered, pulling Sakura out the door.
"Don't you want to visit her?" Lee asked.
"Lee, we work here, we'll see her after our shift is done," Sakura assured him, as they left the room.
The three teammates just stood still and stayed quiet, no one uttered a sound, almost like the girl in front of them were made of glass and the slightest sound could break her. They hoped their thoughts would reach her mind if they didn't speak, mainly because, if Lee and Gai started talking they probably would start shouting.
A couple hours went by, and the clock stroke ten. Tsunade reluctantly threw the group out, telling them to get some rest and to come back the next day.
Neji went home, said not a word to his cousin or uncle, and fell asleep in his bed. His dream was quite odd, compared to his normal dreams. Wait. Does Neji even dream? Well, apparently he does this time.
*Neji's Dream*
"Neji-kun, tasukete!" a feminine voice shrieked.
"Tenten!" Neji shouted, running toward the dark shadows in front of him. "Where are you!"
"Neji-kun!" the voice called again.
"I can't see you!"
"You better hurry, or your friend may be gone for good," a wicked female voice threatened.
The voice was familiar in tone, but Neji didn't know who it was or who it will be. "Tasukete!" Tenten screamed.
Neji ran faster and faster into the unknown, his friend's screams guiding him. He bumped into something. He fell to the ground and looked up at what had hit him. He saw his friend, covered in injuries, inside a casing made of diamond that was filling up with water. "Tenten!" Neji cried out as the water filled up past Tenten's head.
"Tasukete," Tenten said weakly as her body sunk to the bottom of he casing.
"Looks like you're too late, Neji," the wicked voice laughed, mocking his friend's cries. "Or should I say 'Neji-kun!'"
"No!" Neji shouted, trying to break the box that held his friend captive.
"It's fruitless, she's not coming back," the voice laughed maniacally.
"Tenten!"
