Disclaimer: (Clears throat) Still don't own shit.
Waking up with a groan Tenten pressed the off button on her alarm it was exactly 4:30 and she felt like shit. She had just woken up after getting her ass handed to her by Kurama the sadistic demon had beat her up one side of the clearing and down the other. She could barely even block him before he would attack again. At Least she could actually block him now before she couldn't even block the wooden sword Minato had made them start with. They had graduated her to an actual sword when she got good enough to actually block Kurama but that wooden sword still stung horribly when he hit her with it. He enjoyed it to.
Stretching she huffed activated her gravity seals Minato had been nice enough to share with her and almost collapsed at the weight before making her way straight to the shower and bathing, the seals were made with permanent ink kinda like a tatoo but she could make them disappear if she wanted to. She showered and listened to kurama grumble about losing his torture victim. Wrapping a towel around herself she rolled her eye's at kurama and got dressed quickly. She had gotten use to them being inside her mind over the past two months it didn't even bothered her that kurama was a pervert that watched her dress herself everyday it was just part of the rutain she had fallen into. Risking a glance at her clock as she pulled her hair into her signature twin buns 5:20 she hummed a bit before sitting down at the table in her kitchen and studying a scroll of seals her clone had nabbed from the hokage library.
She ate a quick breakfast consisting of a granola bar and left the house around 6:00. She normally left home around this time to train before team training. Today however they were getting their first mission in months and tenten needed the money the mission would provide she hated going into her savings but her clothes were getting to loose in some places and to tight in others and she needed clothes that fit her perfectly while on a misson anything less could hinder her movement and hindered movement is close to a death wish in her line of work.
Stopping suddenly she stared intently at the corner Juni, Susashi, and Hashi normally stood at. They were not there last night or the night before that, walking down an alleyway awase she stopped outside of hashi's apartment and knocked. "What are you doing?" Kurama asked as she listened to bustling around inside. "Hashi, Juni, and Susashi weren't in their normal spot yesterday or the day before that i'm making sure everything is ok before i leave on a mission."
The door barely opened a crack and Juni peeked her head out a bit before sighing and opening the door fully. "I was wondering when you would be by." Tenten frowned at that. "Why weren't you at your normal spot?" Juni rubbed her temple's and smiled a strained smile. "Mamoru was injured by one of hashi's ex-boyfriends without his protection we don't leave the house you know that." Tenten narrowed her eyes slightly. "The ex?" Juni chuckled her eyes gleaming darkly. "You know no one survives an attack against one of Mamoru's girls." Nodding tenten's eyes flashed darkly. "I'm aware. Hashi is fine?" Juni nodded and tenten handed her a scroll. "Have mamoru undo the seal on it. I'm going on a mission i'll check in when i'm done i've made bento's for 2 weeks for you ladies." she nodded and shut the door.
"Who's mamoru?" Minato asked curiosity in his voice. "He's pretty much the protector of the working girls they're pimp if you will, He's an ex-shinobi he was jonin level before be gave it up for a civilian life." Kurama piped up now interested. "Do you know why he gave it up?" She cleared her throat and frowned. "His wife and child were killed in the kyuubi attack on the village 12 years ago. He didn't really see any reason to be a ninja after they died and just kinda gave up on life. My mom pulled him out of his own self pity and made him her protector on the streets and he slowly branched out to the other girls." An awkward silence followed after that while Kurama went in pouted in a corner of the field in her mind he hated being reminded that he was forced to attack the village. The fact that he attacked the village didn't bother him what did bother him was the fact that he didn't choose to attack the village he was forced too.
"Your mother sounds nice what was her name?" Minato asked while kurama pouted. "Tomoko she was raised a civilian. Her mother was also a lady of the night she got away from that life after she met and fell in love with my father but fell back into it after he died." Minato fell silent as tenten remanised. "What did she look like." Tenten's eyes sparkled. "A sunnier version of me, She had blonde hair unlike my black, green eye's unlike my grey she said i got my hair and eye's from father." an image of tomoko flashed before Minato and kurama who stared wide eyed at an older looking tenten with a different eye and hair color. "Well then." kurama mumbled coming out of his corner and smirking as minato shook his head and tenten ignored him.
"What was your father's name?" Minato asked and tenten shrugged. "No idea mom didn't mention him to often said it hurt to much to think about him. All i know about him is he and i share eye color and hair color he was a good man and a jonin level shinobi who was Kia." they all fell silent after that as tenten walked to the hokage tower to meet up with her team.
When she spotted said team she turned and began to walk way not wanting to be embarrassed. Guy and Lee were hugging, crying, and making a spectacle of themselves as per usual they saw her and called her over. "Do you think i could run away quick enough?" minato snorted at her. "Not with the gravity seals in place." slumping in defeat she walked over and listened to their conversations of youth while the secretary glared at their group. She would never grow use to their ways she had been on guy's team for two and a half years and yet she was still mortified by her team mates immature behavior. She sat stiffly just praying to whatever god, goddess, or deity that would listen that she could be called into the office and soon. Her prayer wasn't answered she sat in mortification for an hour as guy and lee preached youth to anyone that would walk by and we're currently doing pushups in the middle of the waiting room.
Her and neji still weren't on speaking terms and sense she almost beat him last week he had a constant glare on his face aimed at her. The phrase if looks could kill where true then neji would be 6 feet under minato, Kurama, and her anbu guard cat didn't like his glare. She never really interacted with cat but there were occasions when she would force the other woman inside her apartment to eat or get out of the rain. They didn't speak often but cat did tell her to use caution when around neji as did her other two over protective sealed away companions.
"I haven't had ramen in months." Tenten admitted, she was currently debating and talking about ramen with Minato. Who knew the fourth hokage was obsessed with the stuff. "How can you live?" The horror in his voice didn't effect Tenten anymore. "Ramen gave life to humanity and made them enjoy life. To think that someone can willingly go so long without the gift bestowed on humanity by the gods is horrifying." "I've just never really liked it all that much." She shrugged the horrified gasp followed. "Blasphemy! You obvious haven't had the best this world has to offer i demand you go to ichiraku's immediately." Kurama finally snorted at the blonde hair man and tenten followed her team up when they were finally called up. "We'll revisit this conversation at a later date." Minato just mumbled about how she was a miscreant for putting down the beauty of ramen. She did what she normally did in regards to minato and kurama. She ignored him.
They knocked then entered into the hokage's office. Relaxing the moment she entered into the threshold tenten smiled slightly. Over the past two months this room had become her second home in a way. "Team Guy." Iruka nodded towards them as guy grinned broadly and gave him a thumbs up. "Iruka." Said man sweat dropped and chuckled awkwardly as Hiruzen spoke looking over the D-rank scroll. "Well we have several missions on here you could do around the village." Lee seemed to pout and Guy stepped forward with a frown. "Lord Hokage we would like our first mission back to be C-ranked." Hiruzen narrowed his eyes glanced at Tenten for a second and sighed. "If you think you can handle it." Guy narrowed his eye's noticing the way the hokage glanced at tenten as if for the ok before agreeing. Something was going on beyond some secret mission the youthful flower in his group was apparently involved in and he would get to the bottom of it.
Both men struck the good guy pose before the hokage gave them their mission. They were to take a scroll to the land of tea's lord. From the the land of the moon apparently. The hokage waved his hand dismissing them. "Tenten stay i would like to speak with you." She stiffened immediately and scratched her head awkwardly when Neji snapped his head towards her glaring darker before her team and iruka left. Turning her head to the hokage she sighed in exasperation and felt the familiar barrier rise.
"Guy is getting suspicious." Hiruzen noted and Tenten nodded. "So are Neji and Lee i haven't been confronted by either of them yet but i know it's coming especially after this." Smoking his pipe he sighed. "Are you sure you're ready to leave the village?" He looked worried and Tenten couldn't blame him even on a c-rank mission there is a chance the young ninja can run into bigger ninja and die. It's wasn't just her life anymore she had two extra lived to look after now. "We'll be fine and if anything happens we have a taijutsu master and anbu with us." She chuckled at Minato's serious word and smiled at Hiruzen. "Minato said we'd be fine not only is guy-sensei with us but so is cat if anything happens those two could handle it i'll never get stronger without field experience lord hokage."
He nodded before his old face relaxed for half a second before going back into serious mode. "Hows that jutsu going?" Stress took over Tenten as she groaned. "I still can't make a solid enough seal, Minato can't focus long enough for me to do it right either. So far the most he can stay in a clone is 1 minute then the seal drags him back into my head. Where working on a way to alter the original seal but i would need another seal master and Minato refuses to let Jiraiya know he's still alive." she began face palming herself while Hiruzen also looked troubled. "He's still mad at him." Tenten gave the Hokage a dead plain look. "You throw him into rant mode." It was true Minato had went into full blown rant mode on how Jiraiya was a traitor that betrayed his trust in him and how he could never forgive something like how Jiraiya had abandoned his son to growing up alone and isolated.
"My apologies." He didn't look the least bit apologetic however. If anything the old man watched in amusement as Tenten repeatedly cringed at whatever Minato was ranting about. She waved her hand infront of her face and tuned both kurama's death threats if minato didn't shut up and minato's rant of betrayal. "It's fine Lord third i've learned how to tune them out." He nodded and began. "Back on the subject of your team when asked tell them it's classified and if they have a problem they can come to me about it." She nodded in agreement before being dismissed.
Once she was reunited with her team guy sensei told them to pack for a week adventure away from the village and once Guy and Lee had left leaving her and neji alone he immediately demanded. "What did lord hokage want with you?" Tenten glanced at him from the corner of her eye, shook her head and began walking home they only had an hour to get ready and be waiting by the front gate to leave. Neji on the other hand had other plans he grabbed her arm and Minato and Kurama fell silent from their earlier argument her mind for once was silent, to silent and it worried her. She turned and glared at neji after forcing him to release her with a quick jab to his shoulder. "What was said in the hokage's office is between him and i. If he wanted you to know he would have asked to to stay behind as well."
He snarled at her and spouted out. "You have no right to.." Tenten cut him off. "NO, You have no right to ask, if you must know it's classified if you have a problem with that then go talk with the hokage." She turned and began to walk way and he went to grab her she felt rage like no other bubble up and a terrifying growl was ripped from her chest as she grabbed his hand and twisted it behind his back. Her body wasn't within her control as a dark gruff voice spoke. "Touch her again and i'll remove your arm." the person in her body released him and began walking toward the hokage tower. Tenten found herself in her mind's field staring at Minato who was looking at her with wide eyes. Turning to the screen in the middle of said field her eye twitched slightly. "How is this." she trailed of and Minato sighed. "I have no idea it really shouldn't be." but it was happening kurama had somehow taken over her body.
Well ain't that a plot twist i wonder will tenten get her body back or will Kurama decide to keep it. How is it he was able to take over anyway? What do y'all think of my story thus far. Till next time.
