He's not coming back
Tsunade watched helplessly as Tenten's eyes widened as she shook her head slowly. Tenten pivoted and ran from the tower as fast as she could.
She didn't care that her legs ached and her knees felt weak.
She began weaving through the forest, she didn't care that she grazed her elbows and branches stubbed at her toes.
The wind made her clothes flap like crazy and her eyes watered even more but she couldn't care on bit.
She wanted to see Lee and Neji. She wanted to hug her old teammates.
She wanted to see Gai walking through those Goddamn gates.
For those minutes running in the forest,
That's all she cared about.
Tenten stumbled weakly towards the gates, holding out her arms in front of her.
Neji caught her arms and she collapsed into his chest. She sobbed into his chest, making his shirt stick to his skin, her hands clutched tightly at his sleeves.
"Tenten? Tenten what's wrong?" Lee asked worriedly, Neji picked Tenten up and they sat down on a bench. Tears were still running down Tenten cheeks. Lee put a comforting arm around her, Neji just watched her cry. "Ssh, ssh." Lee whispered into her hair as Tenten's shoulder shook up and down uncontrollably.
Neji watched Tenten cry. Large tears were dripping from her chin and her cheeks burnt red, her chest was heaving as she struggled to breathe between sobs. Neji had never seen Tenten like this; she was so raw in her emotion and she didn't care. Not once had she cried in a mission, not once in their gruelling training, not even when team 10 was dispatched.
Neji and Lee stopped htemselves from asking Tenten questions until her breathing had slowed down and she wiped away her tears.
"Now then," Neji said calmly, "What happened?"
Tenten's shoulders slumped down and her gaze met the gates. Lee and Neji watched Tenten's face anxiously. Her brows began to furrow and her lip wobbled.
"Gai's not coming back." Tenten said quietly,
Neji's hand curled into a fist. "Gai, he betrayed Konoha?" he asked confused,
"No." Tenten whispered though gritted teeth, disgusted that he could even think that Gai had betrayed them. She breathed deeply, and with a steady voice she said
"Gai, he's b-been killed."
