This story is based on the Undying Series by Lerixia. I loved her stories so much I decided to write a fanfic based off one of her fanfics! Enjoy!

Prologue: A Journey We'll Regret

Tenten was all packed and ready to leave. But she didn't want to leave. Even if it was for the family, it didn't feel right. She had a boyfriend, and she would never want to leave him. But she had no choice. Her father, along with the leader of the Uchiha clan, planned an arranged marriage between Tenten and the Uchiha clan's leader's youngest son, Uchiha Sasuke. Of course, her father wouldn't let her have a say in this arrangement, but she argued, until her father was finally irritated enough to send her off to the Uchihas early. He couldn't let Tenten be with that Hyuga any longer.

Somewhere outside Tenten's house, Tenten was saying goodbye to her boyfriend, Hyuga Neji. "You don't have to go."

"Yes I do, Neji. I don't have a choice."

"You can fight back. What happened to the strong, persistent Tenten I fell in love with?"

"I don't know. I just… all of my strength is gone." Tenten hugged Neji for dear life, as if she was being pulled into a vortex of doom. "I don't want to leave you, Neji. I love you." Tears finally fell down Tenten cheeks. She put her face into Neji's chest, not wanting them to fall, wanting to keep her pride.

"I love you, too," Neji said, as he returned Tenten's embrace. "I will always love you, no matter what." Neji broke their hug and wiped Tenten's tears.

"Tenten!" That voice made Tenten jump and startled Neji a little.

Oh no! Otou-san's going to kill us if he sees us together!

"I have to go."

"I know..." Tenten faced Neji and gave him one last kiss before leaving. "Be strong, for both of us."

"I will," Tenten assured before she fled. Neji stood there and watched her leave him, tears flowing in his eyes.

"...and this is the Sasuke's room." The man, who introduced himself as Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke's older, was giving Tenten a tour of the mansion. The last place they went was her future husband's room. As soon as hey entered the room, Tenten couldn't believe her eyes. She never saw so much red in her life. Everything in the room was red.

"It's all so beautiful. But where do I sleep?"

"I'll show you." Itachi and Tenten walked through the halls until they were in front of a wooden door. "This is your room." Itachi opened the door, revealing a dark, dirty, rotten room that looked similar to a jail cage. What is this?

"As of tomorrow, you work for Sasuke-sama as one of his slaves." Itachi pushed Tenten into the room, making her fall over.

"Wait a minute. My father said that I would become Sasuke-sama's wife, not his slave! And I would be treated with respect!"

"The contract our fathers signed was an agreement that said you will be one of our loyal slaves. With your family's downfall, our family with be one of the most powerful clans in all of Fire Country."

"Does my father know about this?"

"If he did, you wouldn't be here, would you? Now, here." Itachi tossed a piece a paper to Tenten, which had a list of things to do. "Do the things on this list and start them at six. If I don't see you before six o' clock, there will be consequences." Itachi shut the door, leaving Tenten there on the floor.

Tenten had many emotions in her mind: Melancholy, anger, betrayal, frustration, fear, but mostly...

Heartbroken.

Oh Neji...
