"Ughh finally finished that stupid mission." Tenten said as she began stretching. She and Lee walked out of the Hokage building. It was around six thirty PM, when they've finished the mission.

"What is this? Tenten my youthful flower! Are you tried? Come here! I'll give you a piggy back ride!" Lee motion her to jump on his back.

Tentens eye immediately shot up, she began to frantically shook her head. "N-no it's okay, I'm feeling better already! See?" She started to jump all around the place, showing him her best smile.

Lee looked at her for a minute and began talking. "I heard that your living with Ino, am I correct?"

"Yeah, Sakura and Hinata used to live with us, but they married Sasuke and Naruto, about three months ago. When they moved out, our expenses doubled" Tenten began to anime cry, thinking about her money.

"Don't worry about it, Neji will propose to you before you know it, you will have beautiful and youthful children! I know it! Shikamaru will do the same with Ino." Lee stopped infront of her and did his signature pose.

Tenten began to blushed and punched Lee without realizing her strength as Lee flew back at least ten feet. When she looked up and realized her mistake she ran up to him. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry Lee! Are you okay?"

Lee was on the ground but quickly stood up causing Tenten to jump back a little. "My youthful flower has finally grown up!" Lee ran up to her and squeezed the life out of her. when he let go, both of his hands were on her shoulder. "This is your stop! I need to go and meet Gai-Sensei, See you tomorrow!" Lee yelled as he ran towards Gai sensei house.

Tenten Pov

I smiled at Lees back as the sun slowly began to go down. Suddenly I remembered a certain flashback.

Flashback

It was during the time when we saved Garaa from the Akatsuki. While we were about to leave the sand village and was heading back home. I remembered telling our sensei to hurry up since they were behind us. Gai-sensei was getting annoyed as he threw Kakashi sensei into mid air. He adjusted his form into a piggyback postion just in time for Kakashi to fall on his back.

I clearly remembered the Sakura mumbled. "grown men playing piggyback ride, its almost creepy.."

I too thought it was weird and dam creepy, but I got to spend alone time with Neji. Without having Gai-sensei and Lee bothering us screaming and acting like a mad man. During our way back to konoha was sweet and simple, and I like it that way.

End of flashback.

I closed my eyes, as a smile crept on my face. Oh how I wish this moment will stay the same. I wondered if Neji missed me, while I was gone on a mission. I began to feel my cheeks getting warmer as my thoughts of Neji overcame my sense of direction.

I quickly walked up towards the door and unlocked it. The apartment was pitch quiet and dark.

Ino must be still working in the flower shop. I thought as I took off my shoes.

But something was off, the vibe was not right. I've been getting this feeling ever since I left to do the mission two months ago. Ino was also doing a mission around two months ago, but should be back home before me.

My heart was pounding as I took quiet slow steps towards the living room, it was pitch black but someone was sitting infront of the closed blinds, clearly showing a shadow. It was Ino sitting down on a wooden chair, something about her made me react. Immediately I turned on the lights and ran towards Ino. She looked horriable, her hairs messed up, the clothes were wrinkled, and her makeup was ruined.

she must be crying. I thought.

"I-Ino what's wrong?" I asked gently shaking her, scared that Ino would out of no where disapear, if I shook any harder. Ino slowely looked at me, new tears were forming.

"Ten-hic-Ten" Ino voiced cracked, the look that shes giving me made me gave me sick feeling in my stomache. Gradually her hand extented towards me, handing me an opened envelope.

I eyed the envople as I carefully opened it. Inside was an invitation to a wedding. I looked at the wedding invitation and back to Ino. My face was full of confusion, Ino however continued to look down at her feet. The card looked expensive as it was decorated with golden writting. I began to read.

Congratulations You are invited!

Ino and Tenten are hereby invited to attend to the wedding of:

Neji Hyuuga and Shina

Shikamaru Nara and Asai

This wedding will be held on October 4th.

I couldn't belive it. I kept re-reading it it so much I lost count. NO NO NO it CAN'T be! Please tell me it's a dream!

I felt hot tears running down my face. I always knew that even though me and Neji were just sparing partners. I believe that one day we were going to get married, where I can finally know what it's like to be loved. Everybody thought that too, I was too scared to confess thinking that Neji will ignore me or worse he'll say that he's not in love with me. I looked up to see Inos eyes staring right at me, it felt like I was going into a blackhole, as we both shared a quiet moment. A certain Flashback began to ran through my head.

Don't worry about it, Neji will propose to you before you know it, you will have beautiful and youthful children! I know it!

..I Know it!

...I know it!

Somehow I knew from here on out, nothings going to be the same.
