Me: Here it is people, THE LAST CHAPTER!! Duhn duhn duuuuuuhn!
Gaara: Someone's hyper.
Me: Of course I am, I have a thing of hot chocolate right next to me.
Gaara: I see. And Totalnarutofangirl85 does not own Naruto.
Me: No, but I do have my VERY OWN AKATSUKI CLOAK!! Which I just got today as an early birthday gift from my aunt. I luvs it!
Gaara: ...
Oh my god. It was Shiro. I have been caught.
"Oh, hey Shiro. Whats up?" I asked casually, followed by a nervous laugh.
"What is up indeed. I wish to speak to you in private." She said, dragging me off in the direction of my room. I cast a pleading look back at my friends and they returned with an apologetic one. I sighed and let myself be dragged away.
"What were you thinking?" Demanded Shiro as soon as she closed the door.
"I was thinking that I wanted freedom. To not have my life ruined by my parents who barely know me!" I replied, my anger level quickly rising.
"You could have very well ruined your families honor!" She said to me.
"I don't care! What has my family ever done to me except make my life terrible!" I shot back. She looked like I had just said the most horrendous thing ever.
"This is absolutely unacceptable! We are going home this instant! No need to further risk shaming the Himitsu family name." Shiro ordered. I gave her a pleading look.
"Please Shiro, just one more night? So I can say good bye to my friends and stuff?" I gave her my best puppy dog eye look. She sighed.
"Fine. But then we go home." And with that she left. I let out the breath I hadn't known I had been holding and sat down on my bed, resting my forehead on my palms. A few minutes later I felt someone sit down next to me. I shifted my gaze a little to see that it was Neji. He put a comforting arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. I wrapped my arms around him and cried into his chest. We fell asleep in that position, never once letting go of the other.

The next morning was full of sad good byes and promises to stay in touch. I gave my friends one final wave as the limo pulled away from the school. I let out a sad sigh and leaned down in my seat. Shiro gave me a dissaproving look.
"Sit up Tenten. Have good posture like a proper lady." I turned my head to stare out the window, ignoring her instructions. It made Shiro mad.
"I expect you to shape up young lady. You are meeting your future husband next week and I expect none of this attitude on your part." Again I ignored her, sighing another time as the car continued down the road back to the place I never wanted to call home.

"Sit up straight and stop fidgeting!" Shiro ordered me, grabbing my chin so she could apply the lip stick she held in her hand. Today was the day I was to meet my doom. AKA- the person my parents wanted to hook me up with. On the inside I was scowling. Shiro had me dressed up in a red kimono with a golden dragon patterning. She also insisted on doing my hair up in some intricate bun like thing on the top of my head and put on a massive amount of make up. Not fun, I tell you, not fun at all. She finally declared me done and dragged me out to our fomal tea room. Where I was forced to sit on those cushions in a very un comfortable way. Shiro kept a close eye on me to make sure I didn't slouch or anything. I was having a terrible day. Suddenly the door opened and in walked a lady with the pale eyes of a Hyuuga.
"Ah, Shiro-san. We have arrived. Shall we let the young ones get to know each other alone?" She woman asked. I kept my head downcast, not looking up at the person who stood behind the woman. I heard Shiro get up next to me.
"Good idea Mariko-san. How about we go in the other room and have tea?" And with that the two adults left, leaving me and stranger boy alone. I heard him close the door and then chuckle slightly. That chuckle sounded familiar, in a way that made my heart pang.
"Why such the long face, Ten?" I heard a familiar voice say. A very familiar voice. My head shot up and standing there was none other than Hyuuga Neji.
"Neji!?" I exclaimed, standing up. He nodded, the smirk never leaving his face. I ran to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back. Then we kissed. But this one was different. This kiss held passion, and love. A special spark to it that I had never felt before. I was happy. The person I was to marry was Neji. Neji! For once, my parents had actually done something right.
.oO: Normal POV :Oo.
"My my, it seems the children know each other." The young Hyuuga woman, Mariko, said.
"Apparently so. It also seems they get along well." Shiro replied, casually taking a sip of green tea.
"Indeed. Oh how convenient! This makes it so much easier since they already know each other. Now we can skip all those formalities of getting them closer." Mariko gushed, drifting off into her own world. Shiro smirked into her cup.
All had worked according to her plan. She had know that Tenten would react that way to an arranged marriage, and all she needed was to arrange with the school head to have her put in the same room as the Hyuuga boy, and voila. Now it would be so much easier to get her into that wedding gown she bought...
Oh ho! I bet you did not see that coming! Frankly, neither did I, but what ever.
And that concludes Tenten's escape. I hope you all liked it! And please review!
