Hi everyone and welcome to my first fic :) Well that's a slight lie, as I had another one up but it was terrible.
Dislcaimer: I do not own Naruto
Chapter One: Prologue
It was a cold day in December when, if you listened carefully, you could hear a little girls heart break.
"I don't understand, I-I-I thought this wasn't going to happen for at least three years," the girl thought in despair. She started to tremble violently, her throat so dry she felt it was full of sand.
"Tenten... I'm so sorry sweetheart, you know its not our decision," an older but identical women said sadly.
Determined brown eyes looked up at the slightly lighter version of themselves,
"Well I will go and see the Hokage and make her change her mind! She can't send you and dad away now," tears now threatening to spill, "I don't want you to go..."
Her mother could say nothing, do nothing that would make her precious daughter feel better. It was a mission and as a shinobi it was her (and Tentens fathers) job to carry it out.
"you never know Ten we could be back sooner than you think!" her mother tried to lighten the little girls mood.
"But what if you wont be? You could be gone for years!" Tenten sobbed, grabbing fistfuls of her mothers long jacket,
"Who will look after me? Who will teach me the family techniques? What if you DIE?" the last word screamed by the child. She didn't want her parents to leave, the thought of them never returning was incomprehensible.
The front door creaked open to reveal her father, tall and handsome leaning against the frame.
"Tenten, come over here," he said as he knelt down to receive hi daughter onto his knee.
"Is it true daddy? Did the mission come through?" Tenten asked her father, hopeful that he would answer in the negative.
"I'm afraid so princess, we leave tonight," his eyes downcast, not wishing to see the devastation in his child's eyes.
"Why does it have to be you two though? Cant another couple do it? Or even jut a two man cell?"
Her father never answered for a moment, instead looking at his wife for consent about whether it was time they told their daughter the truth. The pretty woman nodded her head knowing that this would most likely be the only time they would get to tell her, or even see her for that matter.
"Well Ten... this is how it happened..."
