Why is there always someone from our past left behind, forgotten in the dark?
Why is this person always bolt out of the blue when we need it the less?

The Vicious Circle
Tenten was running in the hallway. Behind her, her foster brother was running out of breath. The bell rang and the bun hair teenager cursed out loud and entered the class 5 minutes late. The teacher frowned and she smiled innocently. Naruto laughed nervously and walked slowly to his seat. The teacher simply rolled his eyes. Naruto was always late anyway. Tenten noticed a blond girl and a violet dark haired girl. They were looking at her. She gasped when she realised that she knew the blond haired girl, Ino Yamanaka. Hinata widened eyes but hid it by her best. She knew the 2 buns haired teenager, Tenten Shurinai. As for Ino she was still staring at Hinata Huuyga.
"What about you introduce yourself, girls? I'm Gemna-sensei by the way."
"I'm Hinata Huuyga."
"Ino Yamanaka."
"Tenten and no last name. Deal with it."
Hinata raised a brow. She does have a last name. The Huuyga heiress knew it. She had a very good memory and she remembered clearly Tenten.
"Okay girls sit at the last row. I will begin the lesson."
"Hai!"
They walked to the back of the class and sat down. Tenten was at the right next to Hinata who was next to Ino. They took out their notebook to write a note to the person who haunted their thoughts. Hinata pushed a note at Tenten. She raised her head from her own note and took it widened eyes.
You do have a last name, heiress of the Shurinai clan.
-Moon eyes-
How could she know? It was impossible. Unless, she was from the family but she was from the Huuyga clan with her white eyes with no pupil. If there was a transformation jutsu she will have been the first one to sense it. So how come she knows her past? Tenten shook her head and threw a paper on Ino's desk. Ino opened it slowly and her jaw dropped to the floor.
I'm sorry for your father, even if it had been 2 years.
-Weapons' panda-
She looked at the ceiling wishing she was dreaming. How come someone knows about her father? It was unbelievable. Unless, she was the daughter of one of the business men who used to work with her father. No, the girl said she doesn't have a last name. So how come, she knows about her past? Deep in her thoughts, she passed absently her note to Hinata. Hinata read it coolly not showing any feeling but inside was shocked and afraid.
What happened in the night of Sakura's party?
-Blond beauty-
She glared harder and harder at the paper hoping it will burn somehow. How come someone knows about the party and that something happened? Unless, she was there it was impossible that she knows anything and still even if she was there how can she know that something had ever happened. The girls looked at each other from the corners of their eyes.
Their eyes were all the same; full of raged, betrayal, hatred, pain. They had gone through similar steps that will bring them together. They were the same, they had been hurt badly, they were still in pain and nobody knows why. At this moment, they knew they were friends for the rest of their life, joined by their past. It was just a vicious circle and they were all part of it. Tenten knew Ino, Ino knew Hinata and Hinata knew Tenten.
HINATA'S FLASHBACK
I had 10 years old at that time. I was a poor weakling hiding in her father's robs. He looked down at me coldly and I looked at my feet feeling a light blush on my cheeks. The yard was full of all the guests. Today was the day of the peace of all the clans. Every single clan of the Fire Country was here. Shino Abarame my best friend and heir of the Abarame clan, a clan of bugs users, bowed at my father and we walked away looking at the sky. It was what I liked the most with Shino. We never talked we just enjoyed each other company. We sat on the grass and watched the other heirs playing around driving their parents crazy. I smiled weakly. Never my father would have accepted me running in such disgraceful way. He would rather died by torture than to be dishonoured by his own daughter. In fact, he was always watching correcting me at the slight error and me I was bowing at it and apologizing madly. Suddenly, my moon eyes paused in a little girl with 2 buns at the top of the head. She wasn't in a kimono like every other girl. She was wearing black pants and a white sweater with a sign of the back. It must been the sign of her clan I thought. It was a shuriken broken in the middle by a kunai. I turned slowly my head at Shino not looking away the girl. She was walking on the heel of a beautiful woman. She had the same brown green eyes as her and the same brown hair. They were very alike but the woman had a big sword on her left hip. It must have been her mother. I pulled the sleeve of my friend and pointed the little girl.
"Tenten Shurinai only daughter of Lady Liann Shurinai. Heiress of the Shurinai clan." He answered shortly.
I nodded and stared again at the little girl, Tenten Shurinai.
END OF HINATA'S FLASHBACK
Tenten stared blankly at Hinata's note explaining how she knew her.
Tell nobody, please…
-Weapons' panda-
Hinata nodded shortly showing that she will even if she doesn't understand why it was so important for her. However, she wasn't going to ask because she knew Ino wouldn't ask her anything either and same thing for Tenten. They were joined by the past but also by theirs secrets. They all knew how it's important to respect the silence of the secrets.
TENTEN'S FLASHBACK
I was running through the gardens of my mansion with one of my cousin. We were practicing our aim and I laughed at each time he missed while he frowned. His aim wasn't perfect at all with the weapons. He had a lot of difficulty with throwing his kunai at an exact place. For me, it was just natural. Kerv stopped in midline and looked around. I raised a brow. The birds were flying away from my mother's loud screams. I turned my head slowly so did Kerv. We were both listening of what was going on in my mansion. Today, she was on a meeting with a brunette. The man had the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen. Suddenly, I could hear the loud steps of the guard and the yelling of the maids. I ran in my house and gasped. The man from earlier was pale and was lying eyes closed on the weaves of the floor. My mother was yelling around shouting orders in all the directions.
"Go ask for a doctor! Fast!" My mother was yelling desperately.
"It's unnecessary, Lady Liann. He already passed out."
My mother widened and contained her tears. She looked down at the man and kneeled in front of him. She searched in the pockets of his pants and take out a thing she hid away from my gaze and a picture. It was a beautiful little blond haired teenager. She had cheerful blue eyes and she was smiling warmly in the picture. She was tall and athletic. My mother turned it the other side.
Ino, my princess
My mother looked up at me and smiled sadly. I finally understand that it was his daughter and how she would be sad to learn that her father passed out. I thought he probably had a heart attack but Mother never nodded at this answer. A tall man in black was pointed by my mother. His name was Frijy, it was my bodyguard but this moment she decided it was a messenger.
"Tell his wife and her daughter, Ino Yamanaka that he passed out. The girl is at Konoha High."
I heard Frijy walked away without another word and I gazed again at the girl on the picture, Ino Yamanaka.
END OF TENTEN'S FLASHBACK
Ino Wanted to rip out the piece of paper and to go at the bathroom but instead she passed a note to Tenten.
It has to stay between you and me…
-Blond beauty-
Tenten nodded and smiled warmly to reassure Ino. She sighed thankful and smiled back.
INO'S FLASHBACK
My friend Haruno Sakura had invited me to her birthday party. She was going to hold it around her pool. Almost the whole school was invited. She had a big mansion. I entered her yard from the front door and directly at her. She smiled at me and hugged me when I gave her my gift. It was a bracelet chain with her name on it. The chain was pink like her hair. She walked away greeting other people who just came in. I walked around the place waving at my friends. I hang out with my boyfriend when I gazed at a shy girl. She was blushing madly at every look the guys were giving her. She was cute with her tight black top and her white skirt. I would have bet that every boy was drooling over her. All the night she stayed in her corner not looking at any boy. Around 10 o'clock she walked out alone in the dark of the night. It was later that Sakura told me that she was Hinata Huuyga and that she's a very shy person. She didn't hang on often with other people. I wanted to talk to her. She seems pretty sad. But I never met this girl. The next day Hinata Huuyga was gone.
END OD INO'S FLASHBACK
This must never been told to anyone.
-Moon eyes-
Ino smiled but Hinata didn't smile back. Without a word the 3 girls knew they would be friend for a long time, a very long time. After all, the vicious circle of life had brought them together. When the bell rang, they walked out chatting about everything that sounded good. While Tenten and Ino was laughing and giggling Hinata was just smirking but still it was a true friendship.
