"Can i open my eyes yet?"asked a soft voice "no not yet we're not there yet."said a rougher voice. "Where are we going?"the voice said again. "Somewhere" The rougher voice replied. the Raven haired boy sped through the forest in top speed while holding a hand of a brunette who was following briefly behind him. "Are we there yet?" she asked again.

"Almost there" the Raven haired boy replied. They kept speeding through the forest 'till the raven haired boy came to a sudden halt. "Open your eyes." The raven haired boy demanded softly to the brunette. The brunette fluttered her eyes open. "Sasuke.."The brunette gasped. she took in the breathless view in her eyes and looked to the raven haired boys coal eyes.
"Ten ten i wanted to share this place with you." The raven haired boy known as Sasuke explain. "Sasuke it's so beautiful here" The brunette known as Ten ten exasperated. "you can come here when you feel stressed out or you just want to relax." Sasuke explained looking into the even bothering to go into thought a felt a warmth around him.

"Thank you Sasuke" Ten ten said tears in her eyes. "for what?" he asked still very confused.
"For excepting me, for being there for me, for just looking at me rather than throwing me aside" Ten ten said eyes teared up with emotion that she hadn't shown for years since her parents' death. "Your welcome" he said hugging her back. Being younger than Ten ten Sasuke was shorter than her, his eyes more innocent but not as much as hers. There was a billion things they can be compared by. By height,By weight. But besides those they still maintain a strong friendship.

_3 years Later_

"I love you Ten" was the words he had said to her on the hokage monumet. She was appalled at his acting but it was no acting what so ever. "Sasuke you're not serious right?" Tenten asked nervously. Though through many countless encounters, Ten ten hasn't been this nervous in her life. Her heart was pounding super fast. so fast she can't even describe the feeling. The fluttery feeling in the pit of her stomach came back. Yes, she has been around the Uchiha prodigy for quite some time now matter of fact a whole 3 years but ever since she had a genin team she had gone farther away from Sasuke. They didn't keep in touch much due to so much training and mission put upon her. "Yes i am Ten" He replied.

"I don't know what to say" Tenten said. She really didn' fluttering feeling in her stomach was still pounding her chest never left was indeed nervous but would never admit had never in her life time been so nervous walkover to her and caressed her cheek. She could feel the heat rising within her cheeks. She tried looking else where but he kept her he gaze with his.' His eyes are so mesmerizing' she thought.

"Ten, please go out with me." She didn't move one inch. Her eyes soften in her gaze as she reach a realization. She had loved this boy and with all her heart. that is why she was nervous. She could always be herself around him. she felt comfortable. She felt loved.
"I'd love to" she replied with a soft smile plastered on her lips.

_Chunin exams_

It has been exactly a year since they had been going they didn't make it official.
They liked their relationship a secret. Where they were in their own world. They had been too busy to cope with the time they had alone together. It was either that He was away or she was away. It was rare that both of them were let off mission for a day. They barely had dates and had hung out but their relationship was strong. There was once or twice that Tenten had convinced Gai to let Team Kakashi join in on the missions. Tenten would be overwhelmed with happiness and immediately in return buy them food or go to restaurants but with her paying. But this would be from a lot of begging and pleading from the poor kunoichi. Even so the nights lingered on and on that they hadn't seen each other and the Chunin exams were around the corner.

Which meant relentless hard work and concentration to perfect jutsu to the kill. Upon approached that fair day that the chunin exams had started. She bid Sasuke good luck before their procter had arrived. In anticipation Tenten was not distraught of the results of the first exam which outright shocked her completely. But not to Sasuke,by knowing the whole scheme of the first exam. When the test in The Forest of Death had began, before she had left with her team, she had went to Sasuke and bid him farewell and good luck. In extra he earned a peck of the cheek for doing good in the exams. He smiled at her retreating back at that moment when they had parted ways.

The Forest of Death had Tenten scared for life and after seeing what had happened to was in no mood to fight. She needed rest. She needed to get her mind off that mark on his neck that she hadn't recognized from before the tried to push it to the back of her mind but nothing can do so. It always somehow wobbled into thoughts. It came to the point that she thought she was crazy. But nothing did overdue. The last Genin team had entered the arena and it was indeed Sasuke's.

When the first match had started she had gotten scared and worried. It wasn't like her to be like this. She knew this but Sasuke in his physical condition at the moment scared her. When he fell on to the ground she wanted to scream. She wanted to encourage him but she knew they had to keep a secret. She suppressed the feeling and kept her composure as the match wore on. In the end she had a smile on her lips. Indeed had Sasuke used his strength to defeat the sound ninja. She was devastated when she had seen Sasuke go else where. But she knew it was wrong show any emotion so she kept her composure.

Not long had then she was called to fight. She knew that she was underestimating the sand ninja. She knew it wasn't right but she did her best anyway. In the end she was knocked out from the three moon fan and was sent to the infirmary She did not know if whether she could ever cope herself of ever being as good as her idol Tsunade, one of the three Sannin. She started to doubt herself. She started to think the other way. She wanted to get out of the dreaded hospital to train. She wanted to do anything just to train again. She longed to throw kunais and shuriken into the targets placed on her training grounds but no one answered her prayers. In the deep night she would wake up to piercing screams produced by her alerting many nurses.

'Ten' A voice crept in her mind one night. 'what is Ten for?' the voice asked.
"It is for ten out of ten accuracy" Tenten replied with her eyes shut tight.
"Ten" The voice said. Tenten stirred in her sleep as she was figuring out the voice.
"Ten" The voice said again getting closer this time. Tenten was scared. Maybe it was someone trying to kidnap her. She'd do anything for that to not happen. "Ten" the voice said again very close. Tenten couldn't take it anymore She shot her eyes open terrified. She was amazed to stare into Onyx eyes that she had never seen in days, rather weeks at that. " Sasuke" She breathed. " I hear your screams a night" he said simply. "Of course, everyone in this building can here it" Tenten stated sitting up. "What brings you here Sasuke?" she asked. She missed him so much but she hadn't noticed. The horrid dreams had always came to her. Her body racked for someone to protect her through the night. To get rid of these dreams of hate. " I was scared you were..." "It's just bad dreams" She said not letting him finish. " Is that so" He said. He was very worried about her though he didn't want to admit it. It was true they had grown far away through the Chunnin exams. He had excepted the fact that the mark changed him.

He wanted power. He needed power. "I should get going." He said blandly. He left slowly but felt a tug on her shirt. "Please stay" She begged as he turned his head. He surrendered through those pleading eyes. he sat down in the chair next to the bed and talked to her like old times.
She knew it felt right just to talk to him normally. He knew he could this girl anything in her dreams. But why do they feel so apart.

_After The Chunnin Exams_

The invasion of the Sand was not significant since Konoha had beaten them. Tenten was relieved that Sasuke was alright. She smiled at the Long haired teammate of hers as he started to collect his weapons. "What is it that is making you happy Tenten?" He asked out of nowhere. Tenten was jolted out of her thoughts and looked at her teammate. "Neji, you would never understand the words of love" Tenten said plainly. She knew he didn't know. She wanted him to know though. She wanted to talk about everything with him. He infact was her best friend. She fell a pang in her chest as she came across the thought of Sasuke. Sasuke wasn't around much anymore. not after that night at the hospital.

"What if i do Tenten" he said looking at her straight in the eyes. " then i would say that the articles of love has influenced me." Tenten said. His eyes soften with her gaze still on him. "you are changing Neji," Tenten started "What influenced you to change like this" She asked very confused. "Hiashi gave me a letter from my father" Tenten eyes grew bigger. "He said he died on his free will" Tenten gave a sympathetic smile and walked over him t give him a hug. "Neji i'm glad you changed" She said before turning to leave. She was happy that he actually changed. She hated the ice cube that he was in. She sighed as she walked to the Uchiha compound. She needed to see him. She wanted to know he was truly okay. She coincidentally came when his teammates and him were in the garden talking.

She snook in the bushes so they couldn't see her. "Sasuke-Kun i know you like rice balls so i made some for you!"Sakura said. "I don't want any"Sasuke said turning to Naruto to continue his conversation. 'He still like my rice balls' she thought sighing at the tactic that got him into liking rice balls when he was a little lad. Sakura pouted and started to join the conversation.

Tenten sighed and stood up from the bushes and went to the front gate. She pressed the doorbell. Sasuke turned to look at Tenten. She smiled and wave at Sasuke. He smiled a warm smile before getting up and walking to the door. Tenten blushed at his reply. He never smiles an she new that but she guessed it was for her. a simple warm smile just for her. When he open the door, she tackled him with a hug and told him how much she missed him. He can effortlessly tell her that training had caught up but he hadn't ever lied to her so he had spilled everything. and she gave a warm smile his explanation In so many years had she forgotten why she had befriended him. She didn't know. Was it her warm nature? His ways of making her smile when she wasn't okay. whatever it was it always pulled her to him. He had then invited her in and they had a friendly picnic with Naruto and Sakura.

_The Night of the escape_

"SASUKE! IF YOU GO I'LL SCREAM A-"Sakura paused. Tenten had saw what had happened. Tenten didn't know why he wanted to leave. Was it because of that mark on his neck? She couldn't sleep that night. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She had started on a walk to keep her mind from wondering into the depths of darkness. She had come across the couple when she was on her 3rd round. "Thank you Sakura" She watch as the scene unfold itself. Sasuke knocked her out and layed her on a bench and kept walking. It was her que and she knew it. She came out in front of him tears in her eyes.

"Sasuke..why?" She asked scared. Sasuke kept a emotionless face. "Tenten aren't you suppose to be sleeping" "Sasuke i can't sleep when i have a anxiety in me and you know that" She said looking to left and the ground. "I-I" "It's too late Ten" he said. She looked up to him shocked. "What do you mean i'm too late?" she asked tears cascading town her cheeks. 'i never want to see her cry' a small voice came across Sasuke's mind. He walked up to her and brought her into his embrace. "I can't love you" He said dully. "Sasuke...you fool...you can always love me" She said sniffling. She knew that is true. He knew it. They both knew. They can love each other even if they have to part. " i'm sorry Ten" he said letting go of her and turned her around and hit a pressure point. He carried her to her home and placed her onto her bed and place a kiss on her forehead before leaving. 'I love you Ten' he thought while running through the forest to look for the sound 4.
