ALD: Umm, I can't say how often I'm gonna be able to update, but, I'll try my best! Believe me, when you meet my parents, the first word you're gonna think of is!!: STRICT. They say I have to get at least 91 on every

subjects. Which irritates me an effing lot.

Ami: It's not their fault. You suck.

ALD: No I don't!! I'm just weak. I only got, like, one grade on the line of seven? They grounded me for three killer months. IT EFFING SUCKED!! And if I effing get another, my punishment'll double to six months!!

Nearly the same as being dead. Plus they bark at me. I EFFING HATE THEM!!

Ami: Quit cursing. You're gonna upset our readers.

ALD: FINE!! Earlier, I learned how to use something they call "POV". I'll try it!! Ehem!! CHAPTER TEN!: BACK HOME!!

*_______________*Tekone POV*_______________* (~ Just in case you don't remember, Tekone is Tenten's Auntie!~ )

Oh my...Where is Ten-chan!? She's late for dinner! I'm gonna have to go outside and look for her. Who knows what kind of trouble she could be in!?

*_______________*MINUTES LATER..*_______________*

Oh, shoot. I forgot to bring an umbrella...And it's cold out here too!! I should've brought my jacket with me. I'm not used to walking..

"TENTEN!! WHERE ARE YOU TENTEN? IT'S AUNTIE TEKONE!! TENTEN!!" I cried out again, again, and again..

Now I'm worried. Where is she? It's so late. Where on earth could she be!?

*_______________*MUCH LATER*_______________*

"TENTEN!! TENTEN, IS THAT YOU!?" I was happy, relieved, and furious at the same time. And why are the twins with her!? And who is that boy!?

"Auntie," she started, "I'm sorry..I'll explain when we get home..I'm so tired.."

"Auntie...!" the twins clung on my legs.

"Oh, dear! What happened to all of you!? Thank you, young man." I smiled at the strange boy. He was wearing make-up. Purple make-up, in fact. Who wouldn't call him strange?

The boy laughed. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss-, uhh..?"

"Please, call me Tekone. I'm Tenten's aunt. My pleasure.

"Auntie, we can talk once we are back home, sipping tea or hot chocolate...It's so cold.." Tenten whispered to my ear.

I noticed she was shivering. "Okay. I'll call Shikuki."

And with that, took out my phone, and started punching in some numbers.

"Shi-Shikuki! Sorry to disturb you so late in the night but we need you here..."

*_______________*Tenten POV*_______________*

It's so cold...Even the twins are shivering. They're desperately trying to get some warmth from Auntie's legs. I should've left them back in the hospital..This is all my fault.

Auntie finally finished talking to Shikuki. She smiled weakly at the twins.

"Don't worry," she tried to stop the twins from crying. "Shikuki's gonna be here any minute..And then we'll go back to our mansion and rest up. Everything's gonna be fine."

I spotted a grocery store.

"Auntie, maybe we could get out of the rain? We can stay there for a little bit, can we?" I whispered.

Yinko, Yuugen and Kankurou..all of them were nearly at their limit. I was too..It was cold, dark, somewhat scary..After a few more minutes, it'll be midnight.

The door opened, revealing Shikuki.

"It's such a good thing that you came! We were kinda scared that you wouldn't wake up." Yinko jumped Shikuki. He was just trembbling earlier, but now he's fully-charged!?

Shikuki smiled his signature grandfather smile.

"Now, let's go home, mistresses, young master and young mistress. I have prepared your dinner, bath and rooms. With the help of Aina."

"Aina-nii's back!? HOORAY!!" the twins were jumping for joy. But my mind was somewhere else..I left it back in Neji's hands. Why did he push me!? It should've been me there! That idiot! Doesn't he ever listen? Back when we were young, I used to tell him that he was an idiot..He was, in fact, a complete idiot!! And now, he's somewhere in that hospital, lying down on that bed of his, still unconscious! I hate it when he plays the hero..he always ends up getting hurt! At one time, he was nearly killed! He was in a battle with that spider-guy! Six arms creeped me out..

"Umm, Shikuki, where'd you park the car?" Auntie asked, I was sure that she desperately wanted to go home..

"Right this way Mistress." Shikuki opened the door. Miraculously, it stopped raining. THANK PEIN!! Then Shikuki led us to our car.

*_______________*HALF AN HOUR LATER..*_______________*

"We're finally here.." The twins whined..Who wouldn't be tired, yeah?

Kankurou collapsed on the couch.

"Cou-Ten!? IS THAT YOU!? I MISSED YOU A LOT!!" a girl with long, raven-black hair; green eyes; and a permagrin slid down that thingy you hold when you go down the stairs. Yep, you've guessed it.

I smiled weakly and caught her.

"Cou-Na!! I missed you too! Now, can you show me what you prepared for us?" I was hoping that she has prepared us a little midnight snack..

She smiled nervously.

"Umm..I might've ate some of it.." she stared at her feet.

"Oh, Kaina dear..You never change.." Auntie giggles and hugs her from behind.

"AUNTIE!!" Aina hugs her back. "This way to your meals please!!" she led us to the dining room.

*_______________*IN THE DINING ROOM..*_______________*

"Whoa, we're stuffed!!" the twins said simultaneosly. "You're the greatest cook in the world, Cousin Aina!!"

Aina smirks. "OF COURSE I AM!! I'M THE BEST THERE IS!!" she yells. Somewhat Naruto-like..

Come to think of it, she used to be infatuated with Naruto...until Hinata beat her to a pulp..It wasn't a pretty sight..That was the first time I saw Hinata start a fight..SCARY.

"Cou-Aina, when did you arrive? You should've called you know." I sipped my hot chocolate.

"Well, I heard some news about--, what was his name? Neji, was it? Yes, that's it, Neji! I heard that he was your boyfriend. I wonder what he looks like.."

"Do you wanna see him tommorow?" I tried my best not to look back at what happened. So much blood..

"Okay! Tommorow at ten?" she got up from her chair. Wonder why she was so excited..

"Okay." I rolled my eyes. I wonder if Neji's condition will worsen once he meets her..GULP!! Aina was never the type to quiet down when the situation calls for it..

ALD: Please review and tell me what do you think!!

Ami: As if you're gonna die if they don't review.

ALD: Actually, I will. I usually get motivation from reviews...and that's about it.

Ami: Yeah, leave the poor thing a review..

ALD: Well, I gotta have some fun while I'm at it, right? Oh well, SEE YA IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!! BYE-BYE!!
