A/N: References to Crying Out in this chapter so if you haven't read it you might want to know to understand some events. :) Happy reading!

Control. Control is one of the most, if not the most important thing a shinobi learns. If you cannot control your body during a mission you are a liability to yourself and your squad mates. At this point all TenTen could do was stop herself from getting angry and immediately attacking the blonde Suna kunoichi. The weapon mistress felt as if her back was aching from the scar that ran across her back, but she knew it was just a placebo effect.

"Hello Sunagakure's Temari," TenTen struggled to stay civil, she hated just seeing this blonde in passing let alone having her this close right now. She turned halfway to look at the Hokage, letting her anger show clearly through her eyes.

Tsunade seemed unfazed.

"Hokage-sama, how long will the mission be," TenTen asked with her voice straining.

"Would you prefer we hold them all up in mud houses outside of the Konoha's walls?" Tsunade was clearly irritated with the weapons mistress' attitude and let it show. She held the chocolate kunoichi's gaze until the chuunin looked away, "No Hokage-sama."

The office was silent except for the tapping of Tsunade's nails against her hardwood desk. TenTen was acting like a baby in her opinion; she needed someone to represent Konohagakure in a respectful manner from her age group. Lee was too loud and boisterous as was Naruto. Kiba was too into his animal instincts and sometimes forgot the human behaviors of personal space, Shino wasn't really a people person, Hinata was too shy, Sakura was busy training and had no time, and Ino was… Well Tsunade had no clue what Ino was doing but she wasn't a good pick anyway. TenTen was prideful but respectful; she wouldn't accept less than 100% on missions which was why she was chosen. Despite her dislike of Suna, not in spite of it in Tsunade's mind she would still do what was required of her.

Tsunade knew of the bad blood between them in a quick summation from reports from the chuunin exam that took the previous Hokage's life. There had been more important documents to read than who went against who in the exams. Tsunade sighed inwardly, "You start tomorrow, that should give you an extra day of rest I'm sure you need. You two will meet outside of the new district by the west of the village."

TenTen's body tensed momentarily. The Hokage was putting them up in the new apartments that were just built? All the funds that went to that project for the people of Konoha and she was just giving it to the Suna people to use? For how long! It took half a year for them to expand that section; will it take half a year for Suna to rebuild their homes? TenTen suppressed a shudder, half a year with the traitorous Suna nin? She couldn't even begin to imagine it.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow at TenTen, "You are dismissed, I need to talk with Temari for a moment."

TenTen was out the door quickly, but not so fast that it seemed like she was fleeing. She was happy to be on the other side of the door until she ran into Ino and Sakura kissing in the middle of the hallway. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and just walked away. She numbly walked around the streets of Konoha, she could train but she was still sore from her last mission.

There is too much going on right now…It's all because of the Blondes in my life! Temari, Ino, and Tsunade. I can't even take two seconds to myself before one comes along.

TenTen ran her hands through her hair, careful of her buns. She was so lost as to what to do with her life; she didn't even get the full details of her mission because of her behavior. The weapon mistress grimaced when she thought about her behavior in the Hokage's office. Sigh, what am I going to do?

Tap, Tap, Tap. Tap TapTAP.

TenTen rolled over in her bed and looked at her window, Ino was standing outside on her balcony knocking on her window. TenTen mildly entertained the thought of leaving her out there but she knew that Ino's tapping would only get louder and more annoying. The chocolate haired kunoichi pulled the cover off of her and opened the window.

"Ino why the hell didn't you just knock on the door?"

Ino smirked, "I'm just going to end up here anyway so why go through the front door?"

TenTen stepped back letting the blonde inside, she held back a sigh when she smelled Sakura's shampoo on Ino. The blonde had clearly left her girlfriend's bed to come here. TenTen didn't say anything about it as she climbed back into her bed. She heard Ino getting undressed and TenTen wondered if this was the second time tonight she had done that. The covers shifted and she felt a cool hand slid across her stomach, and then she felt a warm body against her.

"I'm too tired to do anything tonight TenTen, I just want to sleep," Ino said with a sleepy smile and all TenTen could think about was if it was Sakura that wore Ino's energy out all night and Ino just didn't want to sleep over with Sakura because of her parents being down the hall. The medic nin did stay with her parents after all, that had to be a bit uncomfortable the next day at breakfast.

The weapon mistress could tell that Ino had fallen asleep quickly and TenTen finally let out her sigh she had been holding in. She didn't know how to handle everything…maybe tomorrow she would talk to Gai? Nooo, maybe Kurenai? After the death of Asuma she had been solemn but she was starting to brighten up now.

TenTen shook her head to clear her thoughts so she could try and get some sleep, it wasn't hard when Ino snuggled closer to her in her sleep.

TenTen stood hesitantly on the steps of a beautifully decorated home. She wasn't sure if she should go through with it but Kurenai knew of her and Ino since the shopping trip so that made her the default person TenTen could talk to. Before she could chicken out Kurenai opened the door and turned back inside her house, "Come in TenTen I don't have all day."
"How did you know I needed to talk?"

"People in affairs always have to talk, unless they are heartless which I doubt you are," Kurenai said sitting down at her dining room table and motioning for TenTen to sit across from her.

TenTen took the offered seat and sighed, "It was fun at first, months of hanging out and light dates. Sneaking away during training to…." Kurenai raised an eyebrow but she didn't interrupt and TenTen blushed, "to just be together. Then she told me Sakura was interested in her and I didn't mind because I thought we would still at least be friends and have fun but she started dating Sakura and didn't stop…" Being with me. The chocolate haired kunoichi trailed off, Kurenai knew this part already. She had witnessed it.

The red eyed kunoichi leaned back in her chair, "I honestly didn't know that you all were talking before her and Sakura got together, I had thought it was just an act of blatant disrespect but I see you two have feelings for one another. I think you need to sit Ino down and tell her that you two should take a break from one another. Just for a little while."

TenTen shook her head, "I've tried that, Ino will start to feel guilty about things and then she will start to cry and I'll comfort her and we will be right back to where we started."

TenTen sighed, she left Kurenai's house feeling the same as before, stuck at square one, but she didn't want to be late for her mission or else Tsunade might really punish her.

She arrived at the west side of the village a little early, as soon as she walked up to the new district she surveyed the new buildings. They weren't even a month old yet, the grand opening hadn't even been announced and they were going to be put to test by Suna villagers. TenTen shook her head; as she did she heard commotion coming from the western gate. There was about 60 people coming inside the village with backpacks, duffel bags, and whatever else they were able to carry. She sighed at the children looking confused at being uprooted from their home. She met the Leaf nin that were escorting the villagers, "TenTen! You're taking over?"

TenTen smiled, "Yes Lee, hello Neji." She didn't even know her teammates were on a mission, she had gotten back the day before yesterday and hadn't even thought to ask where they were. Neji raised an eyebrow, "They asked for you to help with the relocation effort TenTen? That is a surprise."

Her eyes widened, "What do you mean asked for me?" He shrugged, "I heard that their liaison requested me and Lee to assist on the travel, I suppose you are here by request as well."

"Maybe they were impressed with Gai-sensi's fighting and requested us expecting us to be trustworthy." Neji nodded but Lee shook his head, "I would imagine they would request Naruto since he shows his youthful experiences with their Kazekage every time they are together!"

TenTen smiled at Lee and his excitement with life even though she was already used to it, she could see the unasked question in his eyes about her and Ino. She wished he didn't walk in on her that one time when she was making out with the blonde. She was unsure if Neji knew or if he even cared. She felt a rush of air next to her and then she heard her voice, "Hello Lee, Neji, and TenTen."

"Hello Temari," The Team Gai responded in unison. The blonde nodded, "Thank you for getting them here safely, TenTen we should get going. They most likely want to be put up in homes soon."

TenTen nodded and waved to her teammates, even though Team Gai has been disbanded she still regarded them as family. They stated that they were going to get some much needed rest and the weapon mistress couldn't help but feel jealous. All she had was one day of rest and she was still sore, hopefully this mission would only be mentally draining because of Temari.
Temari walked into the crowd of people smiling and shaking hands, TenTen got a few hugs and shakes as well, apparently Suna really had some enemies and they thought no one would take them in.

Temari made a hushing sound and motioned with her hands for TenTen to stand next to her, "There are more than enough apartments for everyone and Konoha has graciously allowed us to stay in newly furnished homes. Konohagakure's TenTen will assist with you all in the trasition of living here for the time being. If you have any questions about Konoha please direct them to her and if you have any questions for the Hokage TenTen will present her with your questions and get back to you as soon as possible. I want to get everyone inside in under three hours so please be patient. I want people with young children to line up over to the left and everyone else if you could alphabetize yourselves and lineup we can get to you shortly."

TenTen watched the mass of people slowly separate; it was odd watching Suna civilians. They moved like a cohesive unit, kind of like the sand their village was hidden in. Some other Suna nin that were available to assist handed TenTen a pen and a clipboard and she sighed knowing this was going to be an all day affair.
