FLASHBACK

The captain of the 8th squad of the Hidden Village of the Mist was still working late on night. Houri signed heavily. Reading the reports of her soldiers wasn't supposed to her tasks for God's sakes. That's why there was a secretary in the office next to hers. Rubbing her temples from a possible headache, she grabbed a bottle of sake under her desk. She rested her chin on her hand filling carelessly the grass in front of her. This was such a drag. The reports were so boring. I mean common do they have to be so formal, telling from the color of the sky to the time even counting the slight little seconds. It had been years since she had been declared a missing nin in Konoha. She wasn't proud at all but there was no going back. She had chosen the way of the criminals even if it was because of a selfish love for a man she cherished the most. She laughed quietly filling again her grass. The biggest error she had ever done. The man never loved her he was just manipulating her. 'Men are trash…' She thought darkly drinking the sake in one shot. The purple haired woman put the bottle back in its hidden place going back to work. She had the right to have some fun and to take a few breaks after 5 hours of work but the boss wasn't someone patient at all. If she hadn't resume the useless reports before tomorrow morning he would probably pinned the door down of her office and spar with her until she ask for mercy begging. She cursed. Her boss was just an idiot bunch of muscles with maybe a bird brain if you look cautiously. She smirked at the thought.

As she was finally finishing the last reports, a soldier entered the room with a teenager behind him. He bowed his head while she raised a brow. What the hell was doing a teenager in this department?

"Captain, we found her in front of the gates. The Colonel wants you to look after her. She would become your apprentice if you accept."

"Leave, soldier!"

"Hai, Ma'am!"

She looked over at the girl. She was staring coldly at her and didn't seem intimidate at all. Houri joined her hands studying the teenager. Her long brown haired was cascading around her shoulder as her hazel eyes were still looking straight in her eyes. The Captain cocked her brows. This girl was about to fall into the darkness. Did she know it? Did she understand that to become a ninja from the Mist it was required to kill? Did she understand that the most of the people leave broken? By the look on her face she could tell she was already broken but it wasn't a good idea anyway, to become a ninja from the Mist.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Tenten and before you ask I don't have any surname or clan."

She shivered. This kid was cold.

"Do you know you would have to kill?"

The girl nodded slithgly. Hirou smirked to her self 'At least now I know she's still alive...'

"A kinochi is always ready to put her life on the line to protect her village. She must never show emotion either. Her feelings must never get in the way even if it means to kill the beloved ones if they are in the way for the success of the mission."

Hirou stared widened eyes at the stern girl. She reminded her of her own self when she had finally understand that the man she loved so much was a total bastard and that all his sweet words were lies.

"Listen up, kid, you are already broken do you really understand that here you will have more demons on your heels? It's not a game! 'To kill or being killed': that's our law!"

She was frustrated this girl didn't understand how it was difficult.

"I'm a not afraid because I am already dead…"

She widened eyes while the teenager said hethe words she had once said on a neutral voice.

'I don't care anymore! He killed me, he betrayal me!

I'm here because of this, because of HIM! I'm already dead anyway more dead body won't affect me.'

"However I have a request…"

She looked up at the girl.

"What is it, kid?"

"I do not wish to kill any kinochi or shinobi of whatever country. I only kill criminals."

She smirked leaning back on her seat.

"Maybe you aren't as dumb as you look…"

The teenager didn't even glare at her. Hirou's smirk grew wider. It was good to know she hadn't fall in the darkness yet. She was broken but she was still managing to get a hold of her self. She was still standing but lost. She was like her and she wanted to teach her how to never fall in this hell.

"Fine… You will never kill any ninjas, only the criminals…You will sleep at my place, come before I fell asleep in my office."

She yawned and stood up taking the teenager by the shoulder.

"I will be your sensei, training start tomorrow. Now tell me, do you have any special ability?"

"Weapons but I don't have any bloodline limit if it was what you wanted to know."

She nodded slightly accepting this answer.

"Tomorrow, you will show me your aim."

"My aim is perfect, over 200 of accuracy."

She stopped to walk looking deeply in her hazel eyes. She had still this annoying expression unreadable even her eyes. All around her was unreadable. She couldn't tell if she was lying, kidding or simply telling the truth.

"Wow… Where are you from, kid?"

"Mizu family of the Lighting country."

She cocked her brows. 'I never heard that the aristocrats' families were teaching the girls how to fight…' She rubbed the back of her head deep in thought.

"Tell me, kid, what the hell are doing here away from this family of aristocrats?"

The teenager looked up at the woman.

"I apologize but I won't tell you."

"Why not, kid?"

"It's my past and nobody needs to know."

Tenten looked at the starry dark sky of the night. Hirou smirked.

"Very nostalgic your thing…"

She nodded slowly still gazing at the sky. Okay, that was becoming very and totally annoying. She clenched her fists and stared at with fire burning in the eyes.

"ARGH! LISTEN TO ME KIDDY! QUIT THAT COLD ATTITUDE OF YOURS OR I WILL HAVE TO BREAK IT BY MYSELF!"

She raised a brow at the woman's childish attitude. For Houri, it was no way in hell or in heaven she would continue to watch the one she had been and that she hated so much. However, this teenager had her whole life in front her. She just hoped Tenten would understand that to kill was the thing to do in any case. But even there, the child seemed to already understand it. She didn't want to kill shinobi and kinochi. It was a relief for her. Maybe then, she wouldn't turn out like her…

"HERE I GO!"

She threw a punch towards her face but the teenager blocked it.

"Crazy woman…" She muttered under her breath dodging another blow.

"WHAT WAS THAT, KIDDY?!"

END OF FLASHBACK

The wind blew the purple hair of the woman away form her face revealing her pale complexion. It Neji was standing stoical behind her with Naruto who was for once neutral. The ANBU walked with Tenten to North Garden's area. Seeing the purple haired woman standing in front of the 2 Lords, the Weapons Mistress widened eyes. 'Purple hair…?' Hirou smirked.

"We need to talk, kid. Common."

A vein popped on her forehead. 'Do I really still look like a kid?!?! That crazy woman! I can't believe she's here. So it was true… she got caught.' The ANBU pushed her inside followed by the King and Naruto who were pushing Hirou in Neji's office. Her eyes narrowed. 'They are treating me like… I did something wrong.'

"So you know each other."

The King's voice rang to her ears bringing her back to reality. He was sitting behind his desk staring at them coldly. 'This is worse than a true interrogator! What the hell is happening here?!'

"Yes, the kid and I have a very long story together. We met in the Mist. Pretty stubborn this kid… I taught her everything."

She smirked but received a punch in the face by Tenten. The boys widened eyes looking at the red cheek of Hirou. Naruto stared at the fuming Weapons Mistress. 'Why the hell did she do that?' Her eyes flashed of anger as she turned her head to face her ex-sensei.

"Taught me everything, hun?! My ass, Purple-sensei! You are a crazy woman able to attack a poor kid in her sleep to show her how to not let her guard down! Besides, you let yours down!"

The purple haired woman looked at her with fire burning in her eyes.

"You should be thankful, little shrimp! Besides, you were nothing like a poor kid!"

They were glaring at each other their noses only a few inches apart.

"Do I look like a child anymore, Granny?"

"WHAT?! I'm not a Granny! I'm as pretty as before!"

Tenten grinned still glaring at her.

"Turn around, Purple-sensei! Now it's better!"

Neji punched the desk in front of him glaring at the 2 women in front of him.

"SHUT UP! YOU ARE WORSE THAN SAKURA AND INO! NOW I WANT ANSWER SO REMIND QUIET FOR NOW ON!" He shouted.

He exhaled deeply sitting back in his seat. The 2 women stopped, huffed and looked away from each other. Neji's brows began to twitch.

"So she was your sensei?"

"Yeah in the Mist."

"Are you an Uchiha?"

Tenten laughed her ass off holding her sides. Neji glared at her to answer the question. She cleared her throat becoming brutally serious.

"One question: Do I look like one? You certainly know that to be an Uchiha it would take me black eyes to be able to do the Sharigan. So I'm as much an Uchiha as Purple-sensei is beautiful."

Hirou opened her mouth but Neji cut her off but throwing a kunai in front of her face. She dodged cursing something like 'Stupid bad-temper King'. Tenten stared at Neji smirking proudly. 'At least I had taught him something, ne?'

"Okay because for an instant we all thought that you were a traitor!" Naruto shouted grinning and rubbing the back of his head.

If looks could kill everything would have passed out around Tenten. Neji slapped mentally his forehead. 'Nice going idiot! Nice! Very nice! Now how the hell I am supposed to…' He was interrupt in his thought when 5 kunais were sent towards and 5 others towards Naruto. They dodged looking at Tenten with a 'do you know you could have killed us?!' expression.

"You. thought. I. was. a. what?"

Now her voice was scary between a whispered and an angry snap. Naruto gulped so did THE Hyuuga Neji. At that moment, Tenten was scarier than Hiaishi Hyuuga.

"Tenten, calm down…"

"No, I can't believe that you thought I was a traitor."

"Well you were able to do an Uchiha jutsu…" Naruto's voice, for the first time in 20 years of existence, drained into a murmur.

Other kunais were thrown in there direction making jump apart. Hirou leaned in her seat praying silently to be forgotten.

"I can't believe that you were that stupid, Hyuuga, you think you are higher than everyone but in fact you are a low life not even able to express feelings for more than a minute."

She pushed violently the ANBU out of the way and slammed the door brutally. The painting of the great Hyuuga clan on the wall shook for 5 minutes before Neji recomposed his facial expression. Her words hurt him more that they were supposed to. Maybe because they were true or maybe it was because it was Tenten who shouted them. He joined his hands sitting back in his seat. Next to him, Naruto was shivering non-stop. It began seriously annoying.

"Naruto, go find Hinata."

Without a word, he exited the room thinking about the scary and creepy face of Tenten. The King turned back his attention to Hirou.

"Which clan had been completely destroyed by the Soul's Torture seal jutsu?" He asked sternly looking at her with his Byukugan on.

The purple haired woman huffed outraged. They made a deal. She wasn't executed and she would tell him everything the King wanted to know. There were really a few things she didn't know. For example; what happened the 2 years she was imprisoned in the cell underneath. She smirked crossing her legs.

"The clan is from here, Lord, don't you remember? You were 9 years at that time…"

Neji cocked his brows deep in thoughts. 'I don't remember anything… How come?' Hirou titled her head.

"Well, Lord Hiaishi seemed to have never tell you about that, hun? It was secret after all. But you surely remember the Jurinai clan known as the Deadly Weapons."

"Yeah… We had received a couple of times them here in the castle. Lady Tayuga was in good terms with my father and the other Lords. One day, they disappeared all at once. Father said they went another country for business."

Hirou's smirk grew wider. 'Interesting how he had been gullible… A whole clan never disappear like that.'

"They have been massacred in the most horrible way. All the souls of these women had been sealed in their body and tortured but they were all alive when Hiaishi found them. He had to unseal them all. They had searched for days the culpable but never find him but it was obvious that it was a gang of Torture users who did it."

She leaned closer looking at him in his pearl cold eyes.

"Another body had been found in the lighting country 2 years later. Zabuza… A great kinochi from the Leaf but with the power of the Mist… Tenten found the corpse but I believe from the look on your face that you already know that. After, she had been broken. She said it was because she had found it but if you want to know there's more she's not saying… She was 13 years old and she had found a body tortured on the edge of a river. She came to the Mist and I gave her a job. I swear, My Lord, she was colder than you and the whole Hyuuga clan put together. Even if you insulted her she would never glare at you. She would just stare coldly. She would never raise her brows. She was a lost soul that's why I protect her and at the same time respect her. You know the first thing she said to me? 'I will never kill any kinochi or shinobi from whatever Countries. I will only kill criminals.' I respected her for that. Even if she was lost broken she still remained attached to her values."

The purple haired woman took out two scrolls from her jacket. Neji tensed taking a kunai from his pocket. Hirou smirked making the scrolls rolled in front of him.

"Give them to Tenten. She would need it someday. I don't know what it is but a long time ago it was the only piece of her identity… Oh and, My Lord, this kid is stronger than you could ever expect. You can trust her with your life she would never disappointed you. I had taught her the right things because I didn't want her to do the same mistake as me. This girl had been Colonel, General, soldier, Caporal, Captain and more but the last thing she would ever be is a traitor. If you look closely in her past you would find something surprising…"

She smirked as he nodded slightly to make her talk.

"Tenten had never been a ninja."

He widened eyes almost falling down his chair.

"She was always in the Army never a kinochi even in the Mist. They called her Death. Even though she was a true killer machine she never laid a finger on any ninja. That's why you can't call her a traitor."

Satisfied by the look on his face, the criminal of the Mist leaned against her seat smirking. Neji shook his head. He stared to feel guilty to even think she was possibly a traitor.

"Tell me, where is she from."

"Well, Lord, she said she was from the Mizu family. I don't know more about it even though I contacted them and they said they adopted her."

He cocked his brows. 'That's why she knows how to fight? But that's why she acted like a noble. She had been adopted by a rich family…'

"So she's not really from the Mizu family? She had another past…"

Her smirk faded away as she looked directly in his eyes.

"There are some secrets that never meant to be told, My Lord. Don't play with the fire or you would get more than burned. They can destroy you killing you right in the spot. Anyway, the only word I can tell you about her past is: pain. It's the only word you need to know and maybe the only one you would ever know… like me."

She passed a hand through her violet hair signing. 'Yeah… The only one I will ever know…'

"Tell me all you know about Torture users."

She smirked uncrossing her legs.

"There is only 3 clans known as Torture users and, My Lord, you should know that if you found another body than you have to worry about Konoha's safety. Konoha had been attacked after the Jurinai's massacre because the enemy knew they were at the head of the ANBU force." She warned him.

The King nodded slightly to make her understand he already knew that. Hirou smirked crossing again her legs. 'I didn't expect much from the Hyuuga prodigy…'

"There is the Gushij clan from the Wind Country, the Bifhou clan from the Cloud Country and the Huui clan also from the Cloud Country."

"That's all?"

She cocked her brows grinning.

"Yes… but are trying to do a conversation to avoid Tenten? She seemed pretty angry and she's right. Besides you can't win against her."

She smirked as she caressed her chin. Lord Hyuuga's brows began to twitch.

"Why is that so?"

"Because she's a lot like you, My Lord. I'm even surprise destiny didn't bring you together sooner. I hope you will find the way through her barrier while she would be passing through yours."

She stood up bowed her head and the now conscious ANBU walked her to the goal under the castle.

He knew what he was about to say was very un-Neji like but he couldn't help. He shook his head. No, it was un-Hyuuga like. Man, he was a disgrace to the Hyuuga clan. He passed a hand tiredly on his face.

"This is so troublesome, but I have to apologize to Tenten…"

Great! It was sound like Nara in the first part and well in the second –gulp- it was just… Well a miracle.
