What's up!?~ xD I'm very sorry for not uploading ANYTHING. TT-TT I really fail at that… So here is the next chapter!~ xD Please enjoy!
As we approached the castle, I found that everything looked somewhat familiar.
Strange…I feel uneasy about all this….
Noticing that I was falling behind I sped up to everyone's speed.
As we walked up to the castle I felt more and more like an ant with each step. We went up to the front door and Guy sensei knocked on it. A servant girl opened it and let us in as she looked at our headbands.
We walked in and the servant led us to a smaller room. She went on her knees and slid the door open and revealed a mistress being fanned by other servants. She was quite the woman, beautifully dressed in a large kimono with her long black hair up in a bun.
"Ma'am, your guest have arrived." said the servant who opened the door.
The mistress looked over and lifted her hand as a signal for her servants to leave her with her guest.
We walked in and sat down in a line and bowed for respect. As we lifted our heads we saw her smiling at us.
"Thank you for coming." She started. "I've called the leaf for one purpose…to catch the horrible people who would do such a terrible deed." She looked towards Guy sensei. "I suppose you are the leader of this team?" Guy sensei nodded. "Yes, Ma'am."
"I see…So you are aware of the situation then?" He nodded again. "Yes."
"Well have you any leads on why their doing such things?"
"Well…." He started. "We have reason to believe that their looking for a particular person."
She gave him a confused look. "A particular person?" He nodded.
"Do you have any idea who they would be looking for?" She sat there for a moment thinking over the question. She then stood up and walked over to a book shelf and pulled a book from it.
"This is a book that has been keeping track of our lands changes…" She began flipping through the book. " This land is not what it use to be…In fact, my family did not rule this land till around ten years ago.."
We all blinked. "Who ruled before you?" asked Lee. She started to flip though the book to the beginning as her eyes became wide she dropped the book. "…The Star clan…"
"You mean the clan that has been doing these murders?!" Guy asked. She could only nod.
Neji had a thoughtful expression. "What does all of this mean…?"
All was silent. Until Neji spoke again. "Could you read us what happened ten years ago?"
She picked the book back up and nodded. "It all started fifteen years ago…The Land of The Stars was one of the most glorious and magnificent lands in all of the lands. Its neighboring land, the Land of The Moon, was equal to the Land of The Stars and were on good terms with them. One day a princess was born to the king of the Stars and was born with the crest of the sun. So knowing that the Land of the Moon would become angry, the Stars hid her for five years. When the Land of The Moon had finally herd that the sun had been born to the Stars and NOT the Moon, they became very angry and sent to retrieve her, but somehow in this process the sun was lost to both clans and was never found to this day." She then closed the book and looked at them.
"So their looking for this princess?" Guy sensei asked. She looked towards him. "It would seem so…"
"This explains everything…" I said as I thought it over.
For some reason at this time I kept thinking of my dream…as if it had something to do with this whole situation.
As we reached the end of our meeting , we talked of the Star clan and of the Moon clan and if there are any left that we could associate with, but came to nothing for they should have all died in the war ten years ago. So we were excused and were lead to our rooms.
I had the room to myself as always but I couldn't sleep so I went outside and enjoyed the breeze. It was nice and peaceful, and the feeling felt very familiar to me.
I sat down and looked at the sky above me.
Why does this seem so strange to me…?
The first dream popped in my head.
Wait…that man I saw….was he…a Star…?
Shaking those thoughts out of my head I herd footsteps behind me, turning my head I saw Neji.
"Couldn't sleep ether?" He asked as he sat next to me.
"No…"
He looked at me. "What's wrong?"
I sighed. "well…I was thinking about my first dream and I remembered something…"
He gave me a strange look. "You did?" I nodded.
'I think the man I saw was apart of the Star clan…B-but its just something I thought of! I'm sure it's just my imagination!" I waved one of my hands furiously.
He blinked. But then put on a thoughtful expression. "Interesting…I think for now you should keep these dreams in mind." I gave him a confused look as he stood up. "They might help later on." He gave a nice smile and then left.
I wonder…..what he meant by that…
Taking in the breeze one more time I went back inside and laid in bed.
'keep them in mind' he says….I don't think I could forget them if I wanted to.
Turning on my side I was slowly swallowed by sleep…and then, a dream.
In this dream I woke up. I sat up slowly and started to walk forward. Not knowing where I was or where I was going I just started to walk.
My mind was blank. For some reason I couldn't remember anything that had happened.
Behind me were quiet screams and smoke was rising into the sky.
But I only moved forward. Not caring what was behind me. When I was far enough away a sat and rested for a short time. Then I stood back up and started to walk again.
Day and night came and went quite a few times before I finally came to a village. I look up at the gate and saw a strange symbol. I could make it out as I collapsed. It was one of a leaf.
I woke up that morning to the sun in my eyes. Sitting up I could look outside and tell that it was a nice day out. As I got dressed for the day I listened to the small birds as they sang there morning songs.
I hope I'm not late!
I walked outside and went towards the small room from yesterday and met with my other teammates and my sensei. Sitting in between Lee and Neji.
I sighed to myself. just in time…
The mistress from the day before greeted us again and started to tell us the next step to take. "for now I will send you to my dear friend Sue, the mistress of the next land over and the mother of the second victim." she started as she looked to Guy sensei.
"I wish you luck." she said as she bowed her head. We also bowed and left the room.
We gathered all of our things and again were on our way.
As we walked along the road I could feel something eating my thoughts away. It was uneasiness. I suddenly felt the hear on my neck stand on end. I turned my head around quickly to scan the area.
Someone is watching me….
"Tenten?" I whipped my head back around to see Neji. "Y-Yes?"
He looked at me strangely. "Are you aright?" blinking I replied. "Yeah, I just felt something…" I trailed off.
"Something? Like what?" snapping out of my thoughts I looked at him shaking my hands furiously. "O-oh, its nothing! Well lets go before they leave us behind!" Before he could say anything to stop me I ran off after Lee and Guy sensei. He only sighed and followed.
Yay chapter four!~ xD Sorry for the delay! I should update a little more often now. Wow… this wasn't as funny as my others…..its almost sad…oh well! Hope you liked it! C:
