Chapter 14:

Thoughts: Italics

Flashbacks: Bold Italics

"Tenten… I am not going to lose to you… I will save Hinata- sama…" Neji whispered as he slowly got up.

"I wouldn't be so sure. Neji you don't understand my life. You never would." Tenten replied harshly. She was going to win, she was sure of it. She was going to show Konoha what she is capable of. She had to get herrevenge.

Neji, after getting up, decided it was time to use his move. The one he had been saving up for.

"Eight- Trigrams! 360 palms!"

Tenten was a little bit shocked. She knew Neji could do 128 but she had no clue he had gone all the way to 360!

Suddenly, Neji stroke Tenten with his 2 palms.

It is all over… I will finally be able to beat her and win Hinata back!

Grr…I can feel my weak self coming back. I need to stop his 2 palms!

But she couldn't stop it. No matter how hard she tried, he would only keep going. She was losing all of her chakra. And her sanity…

"Hey! Neji! Do you want to come with me to get ramen?" Tenten asked with a cheery smile.

"Fine." Neji knew he couldn't resist her smile. She was the only one he ever spent time with.

"Yay! Thanks Neji!" Tenten soon took Neji's hand and took of to the ramen shop.

"Hey, Neji, I have a question." Tenten shyly asked.

"What is it?" He replied.

"Well, I was wondering, what would happen if we ever got separated? Like if one of us moved away to another country and then are countries go into a war..." She asked, not wanting to finish the question.

"I don't know…" Neji replied sadly. He really didn't want to leave Konoha or want her to go either. They needed each other.

"Would we still be friends?" She asked innocently.

"…" Neji stayed silent. He wanted to make her feel better and tell her they would be better but he couldn't.

When Neji looked to the side to see Tenten he saw nothing. Nothing but thin air.

She had left.

Neji…Why did you have to disrespect me? We were best friends… I thought we had something special.

While Neji was almost done with his palm attack, Tenten could feel tears beginning to swell up. She couldn't help it. She knew that crying won't help, but it was too hard to hold back. The memories were consuming her. Taking over her.
