Diclaimer: I, Masterday, do not own Naruto.

./start

It's over.

The end of one life at the birth of another.

My life with you died at the innocent hands of our baby—though I bet you never once thought of it as ours.

I should never have done this. I should never have agreed to surrogate your baby. All it meant for me was pain. I had thought—you can never really be with him, but you can have his child. You can never make him love you, but you can love him. You can help him. You can be there for him where she can't.

I should have known better. I'm a kunoichi, damn it! I should know better!

I guess…I don't. I don't.

I don't.

It's over.

You make sure I'm okay, and you wait, for just a little longer. I wish you would just leave me alone already, though. I want you to leave. I want to stop loving you.

I already know I can't stop, so I don't ask you to leave. I watch you as you watch me, and I pretend you are worried for me as more than a friend, and in a way you are. I carried your baby these last nine months, I did. I fed it, cared for it, protected it. I did.

You make sure I'm okay, and you go to fetch your baby. Because of that new jutsu, she can produce milk; even if she can't give birth. You don't need me any more. You don't need me.

It's over.

Goodbye Neji.

But more importantly…

Goodbye, my daughter…

Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, and their infant daughter stared in shock at the letter before them.

Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata:

There has been a death in the Konoha's Birthing clinic today. The cause is suicide.

Tenten is dead.

God, I wrote this, didn't I?
