Disclaimer: I dont own anything


A young Tenten was walking down the streets of Konoha. Caught up in her own thoughts, she never heard someone call her name.

"TENTEN!" Yelled someone.

Blank. Nothing. Void.

"TENTEN!" They yelled a bit louder this time.

Still nothing. Why may you ask. Let's just say, a heartbroken girl needs her space and time to recollect the broken pieces of her heart and put them back together.

'I have no choice.'

~ Flashback ~

The bun-haired kunoichi sprinted tree by tree to the known training ground of her and Neji.

Upon her arrival, sitting by the root of the tree was Neji, meditating. Sensing the presence of his training partner, he cracked an eye open before Hn-ing.

"Shall we begin?" He asks monotonously.

"Hai."

Preparing her scrolls behind her, she suddenly leaped towards the open skies and did multiples of turns, twists, spins, and tumbles of all kind while in the heavenly firmament. One by one, weapons started to poof and aim at their target. The teenage prodigy who deciphered the raining steel, immediately forced chakra through his body and spun around in record time, thus avoiding the weapon mistress' futile attempt to castrate him.

Landing gracefully on the ground again, the whole routine started over.

~ A little while later ~

' This is hopeless' Thought a frustrated Neji, ' How am I suppose to improve.' (AN: Cliché much?)

' Konoha is in the midst of an upcoming war and yet her I am fooling around. I need to take more serious training.'

"That's enough." He stated emotionlessly.

"Huh?"

"Enough."

"We're amidst an upcoming war and yet you are not taking your training seriously."

"Nej-"

"I don't need any excuse, if you will not train harder than I will have to train with someone else. Konoha is in danger and is in need of many strong shinobis. We do not need any wea-"

He was suddenly interrupted by a soft voice, "I know. Its fine you said what you feel to say." She forced on a smile, a fake one, fooling Neji nonetheless.

The words of Shizune rang through her aching head

"Tenten, you're the only capable kunoichi I know for this. I need you to go to Ryuugakure. There's this healing water I've heard of. An oasis with a hanging waterfall. The waters can cure anything or anyone. It's our only for Tsunade-sama. You're our only hope."

"I'm taking a big risk if I accept right?"

"Hai, but I have talked to the Hakase (AN: Dragon Leader, Does anyone have a better name?) He said in exchange for a gourd of the healing water, Konoha must sacrifice a Shinobi."

"I'll think about it."

"Please do. The hope of Konoha is entrusted to you."

She nodded and headed out of the medium sized Tent.

Snapping back into reality, Tenten made a decision.

She looked back at Neji and said, " Yes, I know. That is why I have accepted a mission from Shizune-san requiring me to go to Ryuugakure. The mission is to get a gourd of healing water in exchange for a kunoichi. Since I am rarely needed. I volunteered."

Neji was flabbergasted inside but outside he was as stoic as ever.

"Hn."

Sighing sadly she the bid her goodbye and walked off, preparing to go. Far from Konoha and not to return maybe.

~ Flashback end ~

"Tenten!" Turning around, she saw Yamanaka Ino panting heavily with a hand upon her knee bending over and one over her chest.

"Ten-ten" She said in between breaths.

"Ino?"

Regaining her composure again, she straightened her back and ran a hand through her long blonde hair.

"Shizune-san wishes to speak to you."

"Hai."

As she was about to leap off to Shizune a hand on her shoulder stopped her, "Are you going to accept?"

"Accept what?"

"You know, the mission?"

"Hai."

Suddenly, the once cheerful Ino looked down gloomily.

"You don't ha-"

She was suddenly interrupted by Tenten's sudden change of voice, "I have to."

"Its for the sake of Konoha and Tsunade-sama." She whispered it this time.

"I u-understand. Arigatou Tenten-chan."

She smiled at the younger girl before jumping off again.

"I'll miss you Tenten." Whispered Ino before a tear managed to escape her sky blue eyes.

~ Later ~

"Shizune-san."

"Tenten."

"I accept this mission."

"Huh? You su-"

"Hai. Better me than anybody else." She forced another smile.

Shizune sighed before taking a quick glance at Tsunades sickly and frail face.

"You will leave tonight, if that's okay with you?"

"Hai."

"It will take you 4 days and a half at most to get there. Once you arrive hand this to one of the guards" Pulling out 2 scrolls from the bedside and handing it to Tenten, she continued, " In this scroll, there will be a sealed gourd, fill it up, re-seal it then send it back to Konoha. While this scroll, give it to the guard then ask for it back and hand it to the Hakase. Understood?"

"Hai."

"You may go."

~ Tenten's apartment ~

Picking up random weapons and sealing it into her scroll, Tenten spotted a picture by her bedside. It was a recent team photo taken. Smiling for a while, she gently placed the picture in her bag, which was now half-filled with clothes. Glancing at the clock, she picked up her bag, strapped her scroll and tightened the buns on her hair. Visiting each part of the house, making sure it was neat and tidy before she left, she looked around and walked out. She then locked the door and left.

Arriving at the big green gates of Konoha, Tenten checked if all the things she needed was with her. Taking a deep breath and letting it out. Suddenly a tear escaped her eye, wiping it off, she pumped chakra to her legs and dashed off. Leaving her hometown, not to return for God only knows how long.

"Goodbye Konoha." She whispered softly


There you go! Love it? Hate it? Review please!

Love forever,
