Sorry if you don't like the good guys and the bad guys, but no flaming. I also like loads of the bad guys, but if I had them all good, it would have been hard work. Sorrrryyyy.
Tenten POV:
"Tenten!" Someone shook me.
"Hmmm... nyaa... what's up?" I mumbled, sitting.
"We have school," Hinata smiled at me, and I frowned.
"And here was hoping that that was one terrible nightmare," I sighed and swung my legs over the side of the bed.
"Your not alone..." Hinata whispered. "I made some pancakes. They are on the breakfast bar."
"Thanks," I smiled, finally finding the strength to stand.
"It all happened so quick, didn't it," Hinata said, as we walked down the stairs.
"Don't think its your fault," I told her, turning and gripping her shoulders.
"But... if..." Hinata said.
"I don't want too hear it. My parents thought of you as a daughter. They were glad they could help... even if it was like that..." I smiled. "It may only be us now, but we can do it. Your cousin did, so so can we!"
She nodded meekly. No matter what she may think, I will never blame any of that on her. It's just us now, there was no point in letting them sacrifices go too waste on petty matters. We had to stick together and make this work. It was all for one and one for all.
I sat down on the stool by the pancakes, and took a few. I placed them on my plate and covered them in sugar and syrup.
"What time does school start?" I asked, shovelling the pancakes into my mouth.
"Eight forty-five," Hinata laughed.
She dragged her finger down her chin, smiling. I laughed, and wiped away the trickling syrup.
I pushed the now empty plate away from me.
"I had best hurry then. We have half an hour till we need to leave?" I asked. Hinata nodded. "Can I drive?"
"I am going to regret this... but yes..." Hinata replied. I laughed, and stood up, walking out of the room and up the stairs.

"I hope they don't have a uniform," I sighed, looking down at my outfit. I had on a red pocket dress, that went above mid thigh on, with a purple short sleeved top underneath. I had also slipped on some purple tights. I had on a pair of babycham robot appliqué lace-ups. I had slipped through some purple laces to make sure they matched.
"Me too..." Hinata mumbled. She had on a cream bubble hemmed tunic, and dark blue denim jeans with white pumps.
"Ahh well, who cares?" I smiled, and pulled the car to a stop.
"Why are we stopping?" Hinata asked me. "School is still a ten minutes away, in a car."
"A walk in the morning is good for you!" I smiled. "We left in plenty of time."
"It's a twenty minute walk, and you hate mornings... the last thing you want is too walk," Hinata said, getting out of the car.
"New school, new attitude," I said.
"We ran out of gas, didn't we," Hinata sighed.
"Indeed we did," I laughed nervously.
"Tenten, what have I told you about filling the tank up!" Hinata shook her head, and I laughed.
"I never learn, do I?" I smirked, and she laughed.
"Well, you can fill it up later!" Hinata told me, and I nodded. It was common for this too happen anyway. I was used to it.
"Hey, you!" Someone called from behind us. I spun around and faced them. "I haven't seen you two around before, so you must be 'the new kids'."
"What if we are?" I growled. I didn't like the look of the one speaking too us. She had red hair, shoulder length and thick rimmed black glasses. Normally I would have though her a geek, but the black leather boots that went to mid thigh, and the almost non-existent shorts, I figured she wasn't. She also had a tight white top on, see-through at that, I could see the bra through it, not that that was hard; it was red.
"It's always best too get to the new kids, before the other group," Said someone from behind us again. I spun around, this time it was a blonde girl. She had sparkling blue eyes, and long blonde hair, pulled up into a pony tail, a side fringe falling over her eye. She had a tight purple, halter neck top and a short purple skirt.
"And why would that be?" I asked, smirking.
"To get them onside," She smirked also.
"Onside in what?" Hinata asked, trying to keep her voice from quivering.
"In the fights. There is only two groups in this school, but they need members, and we want too deprive them of that," She said. "Now you have two choices, join willingly, or join by force. Which one is it going to be?"
"I don't think it will be either," I stated, and started too walk, but the blonde moved into my way. Hinata stayed where she was. "Move it!"
She pushed my back slightly, and I let her.
"I guess it will be the hard way," The blonde smiled, drawing a gun. Hinata gasped slightly, while I smirked.
I charged forward, and grabbed her wrist, twisting it around, forcing her to drop the gun. I kicked the gun to Hinata who picked it up, and aimed it at the red head.
I held the blonde with her arm twisted behind her back, ready to break it at any moment.
The red head pulled out a gun, and levelled it at my head, while Hinata nervously shot into the air before aiming back at the red head.
I threw the blonde forward, and dropped onto my hands as the red head shot. I spun on my hands, and swept the legs from under the blonde, and jumped up, while she landed on her face. I looked over to Hinata who had the red head on the floor.
"See you around," I spat at them, before grabbing the guns. "We'll be taking these."
I smiled, and ran ahead with Hinata.
"What are you going to do with the guns?" She asked me, when out of ear shot.
"Dispose of them," I smiled.

"Right, this is your time table, and diary. You are in tutor 13.6," The receptionist told me with a smile.
I nodded, and glanced briefly at the paper.
"You are in the same tutor, and for half of your lessons, but don't worry, you will make friends quick. The school is small, so you shouldn't be alone for too long. The students are always eager too make friends with the new students," Me and Hinata glanced at each other when she said that. "Right, your tutor is Miss Yuhi, in room 11. I expect you know to report too you tutor first when there is a problem. They are there for you too share your concerns with. When you go into the class, the teacher will assign you a 'buddy', who will show you around the school."
We nodded.
"Now off you go, before you are late," She dismissed us, and we left.
"I hope that doesn't mean more fights," Hinata whispered too me as we walked through the crowded schools. Most of the students were in uniform, but it turned out we were right not too wear uniforms. Only years seven too eleven were required to do so, as 'six form' students, as they called us, we were not required to wear it.
"I know," I answered, glancing at the door numbers. "This is the one?"
Hinata nodded, and I knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Came the reply. We opened the door, and walked into the room. It was empty save the teacher sat at the desk at the front of the room. She had long black hair, with a slight curl too it. Her eyes were a red colour, contact lenses I guessed, and she was average height. She wore a red and white dress, with sensible shoes. "Ahh, you must be the new girls!"
We nodded.
"I could tell straight away. With such a small school, you learn names quickly, and know the faces of everyone, even if you can't place a name too it. And not just that, no one else would turn up too tutor before the second bell," She smiled warmly at us. "Right, the buddy I am too assign you too will be in most of your classes, but if you don't seem to get on, then you can either find me, or... just do whatever really. This is merely for you convenience."
I nodded, and Miss Yuhi turned to her laptop, and begun typing.
"Tenten, it seems that there is a few people that match you time table, give me and number, one to six," She smiled at me.
"Five," I said, not really caring. I planned to ditch them, whoever they were.
"Karin," Miss Yuhi told me. "Hinata, you also have a few choices, but the best match appears too be Ino. Now you two, if you wait here, the class will be in soon, and I can assign you a seat."
We nodded, and stood there while the teacher typed away on the computer.
A few minutes later, the bell went, and the class filed in one by one.
"It seems you two will have to be separated," She whispered to us. We nodded again.
"Right class!" She yelled at them, when they had all arrived. "As you know, we have new students in the class. This is Hinata, and Tenten. Karin, if you wouldn't mind, you are to be Tenten's 'buddy'. Ino, you are to be Hinata's. Can you stand up, so they know who you are?"
The blonde and red head from earlier stood up, smirking at us. I glared back, while Hinata seemed slightly worried.
"Right, now, Tenten, if you could take the empty seat between Neji and Sasuke..." I looked at her blankly. "Neji, Sasuke, wave." They did so, and I made my way between them, dumping my stuff on the chair.
"Hinata, could you sit between Temari and Lee please?" I saw Hinata nod, and take the last remaining chair.
I reached into my bag and grabbed my iPod, slipping the headphones into my ears.
After a song, I felt a tug on my right ear piece.
I glared at the boy who pulled on it.
"Your Neji?" I asked, as he pulled the ear piece out. He had long brown hair, pulled loosely into a pony tail at the ends. He had eyes like Hinata's, and I recognised him instantly. He was her cousin. Not that I would let on I knew.
"I am," He smirked. "And I heard what happened between you and my friends."
"So, I take it your in their group then?" I asked. He nodded.
"And we want you, and your friend, in our group. You put up a good fight," Neji smirked, and I frowned.
"And what happens when I say no?" I asked.
"Nothing, you will agree eventually," Neji smirked once again knowingly. I frowned again.
"What makes you so sure?" I asked.
"Just trust me," He said.
"Well trust me, I won't be saying yes any time soon," I smirked. The bell rang before he had a chance to reply, and I jumped from my seat. I noticed Karin, the girl from this morning, follow suite by meeting me at the door.
"Have a nice chat with Neji?" She asked me when the corridors seemed to be less crowded. I had no idea where I was going, so I followed her.
"It seems so," She smirked. "so, are you on our side yet?"
"No and never will be!" I hissed. We were near the door we needed, and I darted inside.
* * *
By lunch time I had had enough.
"Go away... just leave," I growled at her, turning on her.
"But I am your buddy," She smirked, I frowned at her.
"And if I wish I can just require that you no longer help me," I smiled. "And that is what I am going too do."
"Well, I refuse," She smiled this time. "I will just follow you till you become a member, and then, you will hang around with us anyway."
"Your mind..." I sighed. "Is a load of crap."
With that, though I knew it made little sense, I ran.
Straight into the blonde.
"Ohh, look who it is!" She smiled, her voice sickly sweet. "How nice too see you!"
I glared at her and stood up.
"Where do you think your going?" She asked, as I pushed past her.
"Somewhere your not," I growled. Before I could walk past her, she punched me in the stomach. I coughed, and leant forward.
"No need to be like that, we are all friends here," She laughed. "That was just revenge. Now we are even."
She smiled, and walked off, just as Karin arrived.
I stood up, and walked away, but she barred my way.
"Nu-uh-uh!" She tutted.
"Move it!" I growled. The corridors were empty, those in school moving to the lunch hall.
"Now, now," She smiled. I was fed up of her falseness. "I am you 'friend', and as I friend, I think it is my duty too tell you when you are going the wrong way."
"No, I am going the right way," I smiled back, and barged past her, but she grabbed my arm. "Sorry, I'm not interested in women."
"Neither am I, so I have found something we have in common!" She said with false enthusiasm.
"Piss off!" I yelled at her.
"She who angers you, conquers you," She chirped, stepping in front of me, and releasing my arm. I brought my threw my now free fist forward, driving it into her stomach.
"And I think that is bullshit," I chirped, falsely happy, before walking off. She ran in front of me, once again. "You don't know when too give up do you!"
She said nothing, but ran at me, shoving me into a nearby wall. She raised her arm against my neck.
"Listen, and listen good," She growled. "I am a patient girl, but that patience is running dry. You will join us, and you will do so soon!"
I said nothing, so she put more pressure on my throat, cutting off the air supply.
"Is that clear!" She yelled at me.
I said nothing, partly due to being unable too, but instead spat in her face.
She let go of my neck in favour of wiping of the goblet of spit on her face. I took a deep breath.
"Is that clear?" I laughed, trying to catch my breath.
"Bitch!" She hissed, clawing at my face with her fake nails.
I felt the skin rip. I elbowed her in the face before she could swipe again.
Blood poured from her nose, and she recoiled.
"This isn't over!" came the muffled reply, as she ran off, probably looking for the girls toilets.
I raised my hands, and ran them along the marks on my face. There were three cuts, stretching from under my right across to my lip, each one finishing a different point on my lip.
I could feel the wet blood on my finger. Not wanting too have to wonder looking for the toilets, I simply wiped my hand across my face, in a vain attempt to remove the blood.
I knew it wouldn't work, but I didn't care.
* * *
"You got into another fight!" Hinata exclaimed when she met me at the gates.
"She was asking for it!" I moaned. "Careful, that hurts!"
"Sorry, I will need to clean that when we get in," Hinata said, removing her hand away from the scratches.
"I can do it myself, I'm not a baby," I sulked, as we left the gate. "Any, I think she came out worse off, I broke her nose!"
"Tenten!" Hinata sighed. "So much for low profile, day one, and you already have..."
"Two enemy's," I was kind of proud of myself.
"Hey, you two!" Someone called. I sighed, and ignored it in favour of walking on. Hinata followed suit.
"You deaf or something!" Came the voice again.
"What do you want!" I cursed, turning to face the voice.
"Tenten and Hinata right," Said the blonde. It wasn't Ino, but instead what she would look like if she was a boy, and loved orange. He also had a brown haired boy beside him, a triangle shaped scar on each cheek.
"That's us," I sighed. I hated being new.
"I heard you turned down the other gang," He smiled. We nodded. "Wise choice. I also heard that you," He pointed at me, "Have been getting into a few fights with the two girls in the group."
"So what if I have?" I shrugged.
"Well, that makes you our best friends," He smirked. "Nice too meet you, I'm Naruto." He pointed to the person next to him. "This is Kiba."
I nodded at them, and Hinata whispered a quiet Hi.
"And by you two being our best friends, we want to be the first to offer you an invitation to join our group!" He smiled. He seemed sure we would accept.
"Thanks, but no thanks," I smiled. "We don't want to get involved in this."
I walked of, but once again the path was blocked.
"You don't understand. There are seven of them, by making enemy's with two of them, you are enemy's with all of them," The brunette named Kiba said. "And we are the only people who can help you."
"Maybe we don't need help," I replied. "We can look after ourself."
"You say that now, but you haven't met the rest of them," He sighed. "It's dangerous. They are dangerous. Honestly, we wouldn't ask you to get involved if we didn't think you were in danger."
"Well, maybe we were already in danger before we came here," I smirked.
"Then why don't you join us?" He asked.
"As we can look after ourselves," I repeated.
"Look, we will help where we can, but unless you help us we can't help you," He sighed, turning away.
"I said I don't want your help!" I growled.
"I don't care," He smirked. "If we see you in a fight with them, it becomes our business, they are our enemy's after all. Bear that in mind when you next fight. We will be more then happy to help."
I tightened my grip on his arm, noticing the momentary wince.
"I will say it again; we can look after ourselves," I let go. "It's dangerous to get involved with us. If you have any sense you will stay away."
"Well, it appears we don't," He smirked.
"We always help a damsel in distress," Naruto grinned.
"Well maybe we aren't in distress," I argued.
"Naruto, Kiba!" Another voice called. I spun around. It was the onyx eyed one I had to sit by in tutor. Sasuke.
"What's up teme?" The blonde yelled.
"Leave them alone," Sasuke replied. He was now standing in between me and the two boys. He turned to face me. "Sorry about them. They get carried away."
I nodded.
"It's OK," I said, smirking. He frowned slightly for the briefest second.
"However, the offer still stands," He said, turning and leaving with the others before we had a chance to reply.
I spun on my heel, and walked in the other direction, annoyed at having the pleasure of having the last word taken away from me.
"Tenten, you need to go too the gas station, and that is in the opposite direction. That's the way I am going," Hinata smiled.
I didn't reply directly too her sentence, but instead walked away mumbling a string of curses under my breath.
"Remember to pick up the container from the car on your way there," She laughed.
I nodded, and walked off, curses still coming out in threads from my mouth.
