Seed of Life
The Mission
Light entered into the room through the window onto her eyes. Her eyes twitched as she rolled over to her side to hide from the light, but it wasn't good enough. The alarm that she set the other day woke her up right at 6. It was dark yet the moonlight shone. Tenten turned and turned and finally gave up smashing the alarm clock and slowly waking up and getting out of her bed. She walked over to the mirror and stared at herself, she saw her eyes were puffy from crying all night. She reached into her closet for her towel and entered the bathroom. Did her normal routine and she was back again at the mirror.
'Stupid mirrors, how I hate them!' Tenten looked at her reflection, she had her curly brown hair down and her bangs covered most of her face. She quickly brushed it into her usual buns and got her stuff she needed for her mission and began her walk to the gates where she was to meet her team.
When she reached the gates, she saw her whole team was there before her. She walked over to them and smiled. "Hello, Tenten." Lee cheerfully said
She nodded and went over to him and sat down, "So what's the mission about?"
Gai began to answer her question, "Today we are going to protect our client from here to the Wave country. Supposedly there is a killer in the area and so the client needs body gaurds. Now let's try our best today youthful students."
"Hai, sensei." Lee put his fist up and then did his "nice guy" pose.
Tenten giggled at how funny he looked. She stared into the distant and saw a couple of figures coming and she looked back at her teammates to see them rising up from their spots. She too got up and waited for the figures to get closer. As they got closer, she could see them better. There was a little girl there witth light blue hair in half up half down hairstyle. She wore a big kimino and seemed to be frowning, but there was also 3 other people beside her. All of who Tenten knew too well.
"What are they doing here?" Tenten pointed to the Sand siblings that was beside the client which was the little girl.
"We're here on a mission, it is to investigate the murders that are happening." Gaara answered Tenten's question.
Tenten looked concered that she had to be with the crazy guy who almost killed Lee, even though Lee said he had changed a lot, she still didn't believe him. Everyone was stunned to the news until Temari explained further to what was going on.
"The murders are happening everywhere, it had happened a lot in our village. We were sent to find out who is behind all this and end it. We just happened to find out the murder is after Hikaru-san here so decided it would be helpful to our investigation to come with you on your mission."
"So you aren't taking her to Wave?" Lee asked, still confused about everything happening.
"No, we are just here to investigate what's going on."
"CAN WE GO NOW!!??" Hikaru yelled at everyone, seems she's not very patient.
They all began to walk to the Wave, Lee was talking to Gaara, while Gai-sensei stood beside Hikaru. Temari was talking about inconsiderate brats to Neji, who wasn't listening and get irrated very fast. Tenten stood at the back of them listening to Temari and suddenly she felt the presence of someone beside her. Tenten turned to see Kankuro walking beside her. She looked at him oddly and kept walking without saying a word. 'Ok wierdo is beside me.'
"Hi, I'm Kankuro." Kankuro decided to break the silence between them.
"Umm... hi I'm Tenten." Tenten replied unsure if she should even have a conversation with him. Well come on you might be taken back by the wierd make-up paint thing on his face, the puppet on his back. And that annoying hat thing that looked very much like a ..."Kitty-cat."
Kankuro looked at her a little suprised at what she said. Tenten covered her mouth and then began to speak again, "Well... i-it's just... your hat thing looks like a ... kitty cat." She whispered the last bit.
Kankuro began to laugh at her, she pouted at his response. "You shouldn't be talking, panda girl."
Tenten realized what he meant by Panda girl. 'Jeez just cuz I have my hair in buns. This... this moron!'
"Well, rather be a cute panda then a scary ugly cat." Tenten smirked at him
"O really, and who says you're cute?" Tenten was shocked, ok so she never thought she was cute but pandas were.
"GRRR!! You frustrate me you stupid cat boy!" Tenten crossed her arm and looked the other way.
"So is that my name now? Cat boy!" Kankuro was still interested in their conversation.
"Yes, yes it is."
"Fine, yours is panda girl then." He smiled.
'Stupid cat boy, who does he think he is? Man what a moron. Standing beside me thinking he's so cool.'
Tenten was glaring at her side until she saw Kankuro looking back at her. She hmmped and looked straight ahead until she felt another presence, it was coming to them at high speeds. She quickly reached for her kunai and stepped back closer to Hikaru, so did the others.
"Be on gaurd, we don't know how many there is." Gai told the rest of them as they got ready for battle.
All of a sudden, a bright light hit their faces and they were blinded by it. Tenten carefully opened her eyes to reveal a strange looking place. The place had millions of clouds and was very sunny, it had strange little stairs floating around and a door on them. She heard a sweet melody but didn't know from where. She observed her surrondings and saw that she was alone. Then she saw it.
She saw her sitting up ontop of the stairs with her instrument that she used to play the music, it was a violin. She looked peaceful but seemed to not notice Tenten. Tenten stood still unable to think properaly, images of her parents and that night reappeared in her head. She held her head tightly, she was getting a huge headache. She glared at the girl above her with pain and anger in her eyes.
"You, what the hell are you doing here?" She demanded an answer.
The girl finally looked at her, "Long time no see, Tenten. How is your life so far?" Tenten didn't answer just threw her kunai she held at the girl.
"O what rude behaviour to your old friend, Tenten, how could you? Don't you remember me?"
"Of course I do, how can I forget the killer of my own parents. Now answer my question!"
"So quick to do everything, relax will you."
"When I only have a couple more years to live? Who in there right mind can!"
"Oh, yes about that -" The girl jumped down and landed in front of Tenten's face. She grinned evilly, "Shouldn't you be living your life instead of trying to get revenge."
Tenten threw a punch, but the girl caught it her fist and than punched Tenten in the stomach. The girl stared right into Tenten's eyes, "That should make you remember not to even think you can actually fight me. You're too weak Tenten, it was impossible for your parents and even for you." With those words, the girl disappeared and left Tenten alone.
"TENTEN, WAKE UP!!" Tenten slowly flinched and opened her eyes. She saw that she wasn't in that wierd world or in the woods.
"Where are I?" Tenten saw Gai-sensei sitting beside her and Neji in the corner. Suddenly a blur of green came very close to her.
"Tenten I was so worried about you." Lee hugged his teammate but he forgot abut his strength.
"Lee, you're crushing me... LEE GET OFF!" Tenten pushed Lee off and held her side. They all looked at her strange. Then the sand siblings entered the room.
"You're finally awake panda girl." Kankuro got a hit from Temari's fan for that comment. Tenten giggled.
"What happened?"Tenten stared at Gai-sensei awaiting some sort of reply.
"Well, our enemy ended up putting a genjutsu on us, but I released you all except you Tenten, for some reason it didn't work. Then we saw this girl who used clones to attack us all, but we won against her. She left and we didn't see her, then we took Hikaru-san here to the Wave but you never woke up. So we asked some assianstances from the medical nin of Wave, but you didn't wake up. It's been 2 days Tenten, what happened?"
'We reached the Wave already? I was asleep for 2 days? Ughh... what happened?' She remembered the girl and their conversation. 'Oh my god, that girl...'
"I know her, I know who attacked us." Tenten accidently said out loud unaware others were listening.
"Really who is she?" Lee asked
"She is the murderer of my parents." Complete silence was in the room, until Gai-sensei coughed.
"Tenten, is that really true?" She nodded her head.
"What are we going to do?"
"We are going to find out about this girl, since our mission was to find out the murderer and kill them not get the little girl here. But for that we will need panda girl's help since she seems to know something about our enemy. We ask for your cooperation on our mission panda girl." Kankuro stared at Tenten wondering what she'll say.
"Fine, even if it means working with you. I'll do it. After all I have to find out why the hell she killed my parents... Gai-sensei can we please help with their mission?" Tenten looked at Gai-sensei with those hopefully eyes knowing Gai couldn't resist them.
"Ok, but we need to tell Hokage about it and we have to find more information about this girl."
"Really!? Oh my god. Thank you sensei" Tenten reached out to hug Gai-sensei but her side was beginning to hurt again.
She reached over to her side and lifted her side wondering what was causing the pain. She saw a hug black slit in her side and some purple thing growing on it. The others saw this and looked at it in disgust.
"Tenten what the hell is that?" Temari asked, concered.
"I don't know, but all I know is that girl gave it to me, so I have to find out what the hell it is from her. I'll be fine don't worry. The most important thing is stopping her. Now... Let's start the real mission!"
Ending. Yup that was pretty predictable wasn't it. Anyway I really don't know what to say. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!! O and I will make a ShikaIno story once this is done. :)
