A/N: Well, here's chapter two, sorry for the extremely long wait, I had exams to study for but now that those are over I can focus back on writing this fic! I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately my ownership deed to Naruto died.

Temari's P.O.V

Tsunade set me up into the Konoha Hotel. It's a good thing it was free of charge, I didn't have much money to begin with, just enough to feed myself for a few days. I was stationed on the third floor, room 301. It was nice, complete with 1 king sized bed, a nightstand on either side of the head of the bed, a TV, a desk with a pen, notepad, and a do not disturb sign, a microwave, refrigerator, a dresser and a bathroom stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner and a few cups. It was obvious this was at least a 4 star hotel, everything was perfectly cleaned, I could've swore I seen a sparkle come from the TV remote itself. Once a returned from my state of awe, I began to get settled, Kankuro tended to get distracted easily without someone there to keep him focused. Yup this was going to be a long wait indeed.

Time passed and I decided to go out and have a little fun. Okay, not fun but get something to eat, I was starving. I roamed around the street looking for a restaurant when I bumped into someone. I stumbled but soon recovered to stare into blue orbs. "Naruto, I'm sorry, I didn't see ya there."

"Ah, it's not a problem. I'm guessing that if you're in the village the Leaf and Sand must be forming a new alliance." His voice was sincere and he proved to have matured.

"Yeah, Kankuro's taking the documents back to Gaara for him to sign while I stay here, but I'm just out looking for a good place to eat right now." I smiled as the words came out.

Naruto grabbed my hand and he began to pull my along behind him, "Come with me I know a great place!" His grip tightened a little giving me no other choice but to go with him. "It's my treat, and don't say otherwise because I'll still be paying." I couldn't argue, I knew I would lose.

Continuing to follow the blonde, he led me to a very predictable place, Ichiraku Ramen. "Hmm, why did I have a feeling you were going to bring me here?" Naruto just grinned.

We walked into the restaurant and sat in a booth next to the window. I took the time to analyze who else was seated in the other booths; there was Might Guy with Rock Lee, Sakura with Ino, Chouji and Shikamaru, and one final person sitting with a girl named Hinata. I came to realize that it was the same girl in the streets when I was walking with Tsunade and Kankuro to the Hokage's Tower. I looked back at Naruto who had already finished ordering for the both of us (kind of anticlimactic) and asked him, "Hey Naruto." He looked back at me. "Who's that girl, I can't remember her name." I pointed to the girl sitting with Hinata.

He looked at me and laughed, "Oh wow, I can't believe you can't remember her! Of all people her!" His laughing was becoming louder and louder until he finally answered my question, "That's Tenten, the girl you pulverised back in the chunin exams. If I were you I'd stay clear of her, she still holds a grudge against you ya know."

"Really… That's an awful long time to hold a grudge don't you think?" 'Three years? Wow, I've gotta fix this.'

"Sure it is, but Tenten is stubborn, she doesn't like to lose, kinda like me ya know."

"Yeah, I'm fully aware that you don't like to give up anyways."

Our food finally came, Naruto had ordered two bowls of his usual ramen for the both of us, and I have to admit, it was really good.

Naruto and finished eating, he paid the bill as promised and we parted ways. It was getting late and I started back to the hotel. A sharp edge of a kunai found its way to my neck; I decided not to fight back even though I knew I could win this fight, even without my fan. (I left if back in the hotel room). That is until I noticed who it was. "Why are you back here?" came a cold dark voice."

I shrugged, oddly relaxed as I replied truthfully, "I'm here because of the third alliance deal." My voice seemed a little playful. "Poor Tenten. Still holding that grudge against me? I bet you are."

Tenten spun me around pushing me hard against a brick wall. "You bet your sorry ass I am, and now that you don't have your precious fan with you you're weaker than usual." She spat the words in my face but I brushed it off, she was hot when she was angry.

"Well well, you gotten quite the hot temper, but if you kill me now, there will probably be a war over it." I teased her, angering her even more.

"I don't give a damn about killing you; all I care about is settling the score."

"You've got to get over it! It was three years ago! Three damn years! Why do you have to be so stubborn, huh?" The volume of my voice took a sudden jump up. "Why can't you just get over it?"

"You wanna know why?" The kunai dug deeper into the flesh surrounding my throat, "Because you shouldn't even have been in that chunin exam, you were already a chunin and you ruined my shot!" Tenten exclaimed angrily.

"I was following orders, and you can't tell me that if you were ordered to do the same that you wouldn't comply with them." My voice returned to normal hoping to have some kind of affect the younger girls tone. Tenten was silent. "That's what I thought."

"I still won't forgive you." Were Tenten's last words before disappearing into the darkness once again.
