-1"…Tenten-chan??…TENTEN-CHAN?!…TENTEN WHERE ARE YOU?!" He was screaming. It was all he could do to just hold back tears. He was on the edge of crying.

"I…I'm here…Neji-san" She looked around in the dark. She started to walk but then stopped when he said, "NO TENTEN!…DON'T MOVE! I'LL FIND YOU!"

"…N-…Neji-san…I'm so scared right now…" She started to hear footsteps coming closer and closer to her. She started turning her head but who she saw, wasn't Neji… It was someone who she had known just as long. She never had the slightest feeling of love towards him, but he had always felt something might happen between them.

"L-…Lee-san--" That was all she said. The reason for that was, she couldn't finish her sentence. She was cut-off by the sound of blood hitting the stone ground where her feet were. "Ngghh….!!!!!! LEE-SAN!!!" She said while gasping.

The group of three, known as Team Gai had been trapped in a Labyrinth for a while when… There surroundings had disappeared when the lights turned off.

There was a loud thumping sound and the boy known as Lee had fallen on the ground with a kunai in the middle of his back. "…LEE-SAN?!" Tenten yelled.

"TENTEN-CHAN!!!…tenten-chan where are you?!" Neji was now very afraid. He had heard her screaming Lees name… He knew that Lee had a "thing" for her, so he wasent sure what to do now. //Tenten-chan…you better be safe…if…if your not I don't know what…what I'll do…\\

Neji had been to caught up in all of his thoughts to realize that someone had been walking towards him.

"Neji-san?" said the girl directly behind him. As he turned he could see that one of her buns had gotten cut off, and she was helping Lee while he tried to walk. She let Lee stand on his own and he fainted from exhaustion onto the ground. "…t--..Tenten-chan…--" He didn't get to finish because the feeling of soft lips pressed against his own and he didn't even realize it. Tenten broke the kiss and started talking, "Neji-san…I'm very sorry for disobeying your orders and not staying where I should've…But Neji-san…I was just so worried about you… and I--" Neji grabbed Tentens hand then said, "Tenten-chan…its okay…all that matters is that… your safe now, here… with me." he said while hugging her.

"Oh, Neji-san…" That's all she said…but that's all she had to say while their feelings lingered in the silence.

"I see that your comrade had found the both of you!" a vice said from the darkness. "…w..what do you mean?" Tenten asked. "Check the kunai on his back." Tenten let go of Neji and looked at the kunai.

When she had found Lee (who she thought she found at the time) she noticed the kunai but never took a good look at it. She realized now that there was an encryption on it, it was about to explode, and she couldn't do anything to help but pull the kunai out and throw it…so that's what she did…

Just as Tenten started pulling the kunai from Lees back, the kunai started to glow brightly. Tenten and Nejis eyes widened. Tenten dropped the kunai from sudden shock and Neji ran to her and tackled her to the ground, where they slid, then he covered her from what would be called later an "accident."

There was an explosion and most of the building had collapsed, but they had somehow made it outside safely. Lee was nowhere to be found….

"…L…LEE-SAN!!!" Tenten yelled. Neji was by her side comforting her. She turned to him then started crying in her shirt, "n…Neji-san… why did Lee die? H--He didn't do anything wrong…why was he taken away?!" "Tenten-chan… its going to be okay…because…we will avenge our friend… so don't worry… I promise you… we will avenge him!" Neji said, while bringing Tenten to feel the beating of his heart with a hug.

They sat there in each others arms thinking of a way to avenge their friend.
