In this Au fan fiction you'll have to take notice that this is an alternate universe which means that everything from the Naruto Universe isn't the same as my universe. For example Sasuke and Neji are cousins. The Byakugan and sharingan eyes are common in my world and triggered with certain emotions. Also people who are supposedly dead are alive. Well then without further a due here is the start of my overly dramatic tale.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, I am just expressing my writing skills which I think is inferior compared to others.
Prologue
"4 minutes to save the world!"
-Madonna
The bright, early morning shone upon the orphanage where Tenten lived with other orphans. Among them was her best friend from birth, Temari. Tenten wasn't bothered by the burning sun that hit her straight in the face which was magnified by the window. Temari sat next to Tenten's creaky bed and shook her head. Oh come on Tenten why can't you be one of those people who wake up early in the morning. Temari went out of their designated room and closed the creaky door to room 1010.
Temari knew the routine, take a left, take a right, take a left, stop, glance both ways and smile knowing the coast is clear and enter the kitchen. She went to the bottom right cabinet and grabbed a small, rusty, blue bucket and filled it with cool water and when it was half way done she reached for the sink with her pinky toes and closed the sink. She opened the kitchen door and again glanced all around and then left towards her room to give Tenten a wake-up call. Temari closed the rooms door and looked to see if Tenten was still asleep and she was. Excellent. Temari smirked.
Temari grabbed the small bucket and dumped it over Tenten's face. Tenten gave a high-pitched scream and jumped out of her bed as quickly as she could and ran to a corner of the room. Temari threw her head back and grabbed her stomach as she started to laugh out loud. Tenten shivered and glared at Temari as she grabbed her red with pink swirls jacket around her small frame. Tenten looked at her soaked bed and pouted as she took the bedsheets out and put them on the floor so it wouldn't soak the bed more.
"Oh come Tennie you have to admit that was funny especially since this is like the fourth time that you've fell for this this year." Temari sat in her own bed grinning at Tenten, who was glaring at her intensely. Tenten took out her jacket before it got even more wet and placed it in the window so that it would dry and she picked up her sheets and put them in the laundry basket. Temari changed from her pj's to her street clothes and waited as Tenten put her shoes on and stood up. She was about to follow Temari but remembered her jacket and grabbed and put it on her bed so that it wouldn't fly off the window.
"Hey, Temari what are we going to do today?" Tenten asked as she followed Temari to the kitchen to grab a snack.
"I don't know go on some kind of adventure or something. Maybe we could rescue someone or something." Temari grabbed some cookies and milk and handed some to Tenten since she couldn't reach. Tenten gave Temari a thanks and started eating.
"Maybe we could stop a robbery or something." Tenten said as she put her cookie in the glass but it slipped. Temari looked at Tenten bewildered by her imagination and gulped. She's going to kill me of fright on of these days.
"Tenten let's try to do things that would not try to kill us don't you think?" Temari looked at Tenten as she tried to drink her cookie in the milk.
" Alright, but let's do something since it's summer break." Tenten stood up and handed Temari her glass as she put it back in the counter. Temari nodded and they both headed towards the exit to the outside world. Temari and Tenten pasted through the markets were there were loud noises and busy people working and waved at people that they knew as they ran towards the park to play on the kids zone. The girls arrived at the park and were catching their breath since they ran the whole time.
"Hey Temari lets go and play on the monkey bars!" Tenten pointed to the unoccupied monkey bars and Temari nodded. What both of them didn't know was that they were both being watched by a stranger.
Tenten grabbed the monkey bar that were high in the air and passed them quickly.
"I don't know how you have so much energy Tennie." Temari said as she was still passing the monkey bars. Tenten landed perfectly on the ground while Temari almost fell.
"I don't know I guess I just do." Tenten ran towards the spinning wheel and started running on it while holding onto the handle bars for support. Temari shook her head and headed towards the swings and started to push her legs back and forth to get the rhythm. Tenten stopped and went towards the swings as well. A boy around Tenten's age came up to the two and yelled "Hey you two want to play?" The girls looked at each other and shrugged and headed towards the boys. One was a short blond, a timid brunette, and the grinning redhead.
"So what the game?" Temari asked and Tenten looked at the boy's.
"The game is simple grab the bomb in under four minutes to save the world!" The redhead showed four fingers with his right and pointed to the toy rocket on the tree with his left. The girls nodded and they started to climb the rough tree. Tenten was almost slipping and Temari was starting to get tired. The brunette was the last one to go up since he was scared of heights. When he looked up he saw his friends reaching the rocket. The boys were almost there but the redhead lost his balance and fell along with the other two who right behind him. The girls were right by side and looked at each other and laughed and started climbing up and Tenten reached for the rocket and stopped the timer on the rocket at three minutes with forty-nine seconds. The girls jumped down form the tree and let the boys look at the timer.
"Aw, we lost." The blond said as he looked at the timer and handed it to the redhead who sighed and put the rocket in his backpack and offered his hand at Tenten.
"You got lucky."Tenten shook his hand and grinned.
"Luck had nothing to do with it." The boy pouted and they said good-bye to the girls and they left.
"That was so funny they were sad since they lost to girls." Temari giggled.
Temari smiled and headed towards the playground when a man in ragged clothes grabbed her from behind. Tenten screamed as she saw Temari being dragged away. Temari started to kick and wiggle to get out of his grip. The man frowned and grabbed on to her tighter.
"Come on don't struggle I'm not gonna do anything to you." The man laughed. Tenten glared at the man.
W-what should I do I'm just a kid. I don't care she's my friend and I'm going to save her.
Tenten made up her mind and charged towards the guy and she tighten her right fist and hit him square in the back. The man yelled and let go of Temari as he rubbed his back in agony.
"Fucking little girl you'll pay for this!" The guy screamed as he ran towards Tenten who screamed and waited for the pain to come.
It never did.
Tenten opened her eyes and saw a man in a coat punch the attacker in the jaw. She heard bones break and cringed. The attacker stood up a bit and quickly fall. Temari ran towards Tenten and hugged her while thanking her. The man in the long coat turned to the girls and looked at Tenten.
He pointed at her and asked, "What's your name?" Tenten stood there in shook and said, "U-um Tenten sir, thanks for rescuing me." Tenten said. The man nodded.
"Why did you ask for her name?" Temari asked not trusting the guy.
"I've been looking for someone to train as my apprentice and I think I found her." She looked at Tenten who had her mouth open and stared at the man in disbelief.
"For what and why?" Tenten asked.
"You see I've been looking around for a young kid so that I could train to perfection and I see that you have the heart since I've been here before and when I was around I saw that when older kids picked on younger kids you would beat up the older kids and recently when you made up your mind to save your friend knowing you might get hurt proved to me that your the one." The man said.
"To do what?" Tenten still didn't know where this was going.
"To be a boxer." Tenten opened her mouth again and Temari glanced between the stranger and Tenten back and forth but then shook her head and glared at the man.
"How can we be sure you're saying the truth or trying to do the same thing as that guy." Temari pointed to the knocked out guy.
"Well if you don't believe me bring along one of your parents with you and they can supervise the whole training and-" The guy stopped talking when he saw the girls look down sadly. The guy looked down as well.
"I see you girls don't have parents do you?" The girls nodded. The guy sighed.
"My name is Augustus but my friends call my Auggy." Auggy said. The girls tilted their heads.
"What kind of name is that?" Tenten asked. The guy laughed and grinned at the two girls.
"My ma said that that was the name of the first Roman Emperor or something." The girls made a oh with their mouths and looked at each other confused.
"Forget about it just call me Auggy alright." The girls nodded. Temari grabbed Tenten's shoulder and tilted her head towards the orphanage.
"So I guess you don't accept well, I really don't know what to say, well here," Auggy pulled out a card from his inside pocket and handed it to Tenten who took it and read it, Luigi's training grounds right on 10th ave. "Come here if you change your mind." Auggy pointed to the direction on the card. Tenten nodded and looked up and saw that the guy was gone.
"Man that guy's fast." Temari said as she looked around to see if he was still around hiding. Tenten looked at the card again and tucked it in her right pocket for safekeeping.
"So Tenten did you believe what that guy said," Temari turned around when Tenten didn't respond and saw her looking at where Auggy was standing.
"Hey Tennie you're not really thinking about going there are you we really don't know who the guy is and all." Temari had a worried look on her face.
"Maybe I mean he saved us from being hurt by that bad guy." Tenten said remembering the punch Auggy threw.
"That's true but you never know they can be two-faced." Tenten looked down wondering if Auggy was really mean.
"Come on Tenten let's go to the market place and go meet with Nami." Temari and Tenten left the park and went to the ever crowded land of Market Land. Tenten and Temari looked around for Nami and saw her selling some fish to some customers. Nami spotted them and waved for them to come and help her.
"Hey you guys why were you both late today, I'm very busy and I really need your help." Nami was a twenty-eight year old who selled sea merchandise.
"Sorry Nami we were caught up with stuff!" Temari yelled from the changing room. While Temari was getting dressed and out of sight Tenten went to Nami.
"Hey Nami I was wondering if you would take me somewhere later today." Nami looked at Tenten in confusion.
"Where did you want to go?" Nami said as she handed a customer his fish in exchange for money. "Well could you take me to 10th ave I can't walk there since it very far away."Nami nodded and Tenten smiled as she handed Nami a seashell.
"Come on Temari I want you to help this boy buy a toy." Nami pointed to a four year old who was waiting to pay. Temari nodded and went to help the customer.
"I'm so tired, hey Tennie do you know why there was so many people today." Temari looked at Tenten while she was thinking. Tenten shrugged and went inside their room.
"Hey Temari I asked Nami to take me to Auggy's place." Temari stared at Tenten in shock .
"Tenten that's ridiculous why would you do that!" Temari exclaimed waving her arms around. Tenten grinned.
"Well then I asked Nami if she would like to stay with me while I was there with Auggy and she said yes. Besides Auggy looks around Nami's age and Nami doesn't have a boyfriend." Tenten said brilliantly. Temari sighed and hit Tenten in the head.
"Dummy we don't even know if this Auggy guy has a girlfriend or not and why didn't you tell me I want to go!" Temari crossed her arms and pouted. Tenten gasped in shock. She didn't think about Auggy and see if he had a girlfriend. She hit her head with her palm.
"Don't worry I bet nothing will happen." Temari said as she saw Tenten's gloomy face.
"When did you tell Nami to come an pick us up anyways?"
"Well I told her about now so she should be waiting for us outside in her car." Temari nodded and they both headed outside.
"Hey you two!" Nami waved at them as they were nearing her car. The girls called shotgun and Temari got there first; Tenten sat in the back while Temari sat in the front. Nami just shook her head and started the engine and the car purred as it started up. They pasted the quiet market where people were started to head home to get a well earned sleep. A few minutes the girls pasted the movie theaters where Temari just keep staring since she wanted to go see the latest movie out.
"Hey Tenten I was wondering why you're going there, you usually don't wander off this far of the ports."Nami made a quick left and stopped as the bright red stop sign appeared.
"Well, um, I'll tell you when we get there." Tenten said as she watched a boy break dancing in front of a crowd of cheering people. The car moved again and Tenten saw a group of people doing tricks on their skateboards and bikes on benches and railings. Tenten watched in amazement as a boy flew around twenty feet in the air. Well for Tenten it seemed like it.
"Hey Tennie are you listening to me? We're here." Temari waved her small hand in front of Tenten who blinked and then looked at Temari who was outside the car waiting for her. Nami was already at the front door of the gym.
Tenten jumped out of the car and entered the place with Temari and Nami behind her. She saw a lot of people lifting weights and doing exercises of great challenge. She wasn't looking at where she was going and bumped into a big, tall guy.
"Hey what's a little girl like you doing in a place like this?" The muscular man said.
"She's here to visit me."
Everyone turned around and saw Auggy smiling at Tenten who beamed back. Every person during their work outs stopped and glanced their way.
"No way she's the one!" A guy pointed to Tenten.
"Oh, come on Auggy she's just a little kid, besides she's a girl she won't be able to do what you do." Another voice said.
Tenten had enough and turned around to face all of the men. She pointed a finger at them and gave the most intense glare a five-year old could muster.
"I'll prove you all wrong! I'll show you all that a girl can be just as good as the guys." Temari and Nami just stared at Tenten as she was talking to men who could easily be three times as tall as her.
"Alright you scumbags get back to your own routine!" Auggy went up to Tenten who was still fuming. He looked behind her and saw she brought the girl with who she was at the park with and a woman around his age. He smiled at Nami and she looked away blushing. Temari looked at the scene and started grinning.
"Come on Nami let's go introduce ourselves!" Temari pulled on Nami's jackets. Nami was took by surprise as she was being dragged by Temari.
"Hey Auggy I forgot to introduce myself; my name is Temari and this is-" Temari looked up and saw Nami frozen in fear. Temari tugged on Nami's jacket so she could talk and Nami snapped out of it and said "Hi, I'm Nami Kirino" Nami quickly extended her hand. Auggy smirked and grabbed her hand and kissed it. Nami withdrew her hand and looked away. Tenten started getting the idea and grinned.
"Hey Auggy do you have a girlfriend ?" Tenten asked, Nami's ears quirked and Auggy smiled. He didn't stop smiling and looking at Nami when he answered his question.
"Nope." Nami looked at Auggy but then looked away like she wasn't interested.
"Well anyways do accept my offer?" Nami and Temari looked at Tenten as she looked straight at Auggy.
"Yeah."
Three years later
"Come on Tenten faster, harder!" Auggy yelled at Tenten as she was punching the punching bag. Tenten felt as if her arms were going to fall off that instant. Nami and Temari had arrived from Market Land and were watching Tenten train.
"Man I don't know how Tennie does it, I mean she's been her since since school was out. Why can't Auggy just give her a break even he can tell that she's tired." Temari said looking at Tenten go faster on the punching bag. Nami just smiled as she looked at the teacher and student work. She has been married to Auggy since last Christmas and knew his strategy. It would be to long to explain to Temari at this age even though she was nine.
"Alright Tenten faster, faster." Auggy was using a timer as Tenten was jump roping away.
"100, 101, 102, 103,..."Tenten counted as she started to sweat from how tired she was.
"Alright Ten you can go home session is over." Auggy said and Tenten stopped and fell on the floor panting. She felt as if her lungs were on fire. Temari ran towards Tenten and handed her a water bottle which she took hastily and drank as if her life depended on it.
"I really don't know how you do this every single day Tennie?" Temari had a concerned face on. Tenten just keep gulping down the water.
"It's hard but I feel stronger each day." Tenten beamed at Temari. Temari sighed and stood up.
"Hey Tennie I'll be waiting inside the car I'm starting to get cold." Tenten nodded and Temari left.
"Hey Auggy." Nami hugged Auggy from behind and kissed his cheek.
"Oh hey Nami." Auggy turned around and hugged her. Tenten watched the two of them and remembered what she wanted to say to Auggy at the beginning of the day.
"Eh, sorry to have interrupted the moment but Auggy can I talk to you." Tenten saw Auggy nod and went into the changing room. Nami knew what was coming and left and went to join Temari outside in her car.
Auggy sat down on one of the benches and Tenten on the other side across from him. She looked at him and saw that he was starting to show his age.
"So Ten what was what you wanted to talk about?" Auggy looked at Tenten intensely. Tenten closed her eyes and sighed.
"Why me?"
Tenten was looking down and waited for his answer. Auggy's mouth twitched.
"Because you remind me of someone very, very close to me." Tenten still didn't look up.
"Who?" she whispered.
"My sister." he whispered back.
Tenten looked up and looked in shock at what he said. In all the years that she has known him he didn't want to talk about his sister that much because it made him uncomfortable.
"My sister beat me up until I couldn't move anymore for saying that girls would never beat a guy in boxing. She proved me wrong that day." Auggy looked directly at Tenten.
"But still why aren't you boxing you're still young." Auggy sighed.
"The doctors have diagnosed something in my brain and they suggest that I don't fight." Auggy pointed to his head.
"How did it happen." Tenten asked curious.
"A street fight gone wrong when someone found me I was almost dead." Auggy was still pointing at his head but thinking of something else.
"Why were you in a fight." Tenten wanted to know more.
"Because my sister had died from a bad blow in the head and some guys were laughing about it." Auggy glowered at nothing.
"Don't worry I'll make your sister proud!" Tenten pumped a fist in the air. Auggy laughed.
"I know you will. I know." Tenten left once she heard honking coming from outside.
Auggy heard the doors close and was left alone and he did something when he talked about his sister.
Cry.
"Hey Tenten what took you so long?" Temari was shivering and Tenten scratched her head and stuck her tongue out. The girls laughed. Tenten was walking towards the car when she crashed into a boy with long brown hair who fell on top of her. The boy seemed around her age and shut his eyes shut as he heard boys footsteps getting closer. Tenten shook her head and pushed the trembing boy off her and looked at what was her was scared of. It was a bunch of thriteen year punks. The ringleader was in front of his crew and glared down at Tenten who was on the floor still. She stood up and glared back at the teen.
"Hey why are you chasing this kid." She pointed with her left thumb at the boy on the ground.
"That's none of your business now get of the way!" the teen pushed Tenten out of the way and she fell with a grunt.
The group started to kick the boy on the ground as he begged them to stop.
"P-please s-stop, I'll pay you anything you want!" The boy started to bleed from his mouth and that when Tenten had enough. She stood up and went towards her target, the ringleader.
There was a scream as Tenten hit the teen right in the face. The teen fell and grabbed his face in pain and started to cry. The rest of his crew left in fear of being hurt. Tenten smirked and went to help the poor boy.
"Hey are you alright." Tenten grabbed the boys hand and lifted him up. The boy nodded and blushed.
"Cool, my name is Tenten your's" The boy looked up and stared at her.
"Neji, Neji Hyuuga." Tenten gaped at him.
"Hyuuga like Hyuuga Corp?!" The boy blushed more and smiled at her, nodded.
"Thank you for your help." Tenten beamed and blushed once she got a good look at the boy; she saw that he had gray eyes and and a cute face.
"Um, I see you later." Tenten said and ran towards the car waiting for her. Neji smiled and looked at her savior. The he remembered something.
"Hey, what's your name?!" Neji asked.
"Tenten!" Tenten didin't look back and left.
Tenten, I hope to see you again soon.
