Ch.3- One of the Four Beasts

Taking out her Kunai from her bag, she jabbed it into the handle, feeling and hearing as it dropped to the ground, the door opening before her slowly.

The raven-haired weapon master smiled gratefully as the door slowly opened revealing her parents dusty yet tidy room. A large white bed lay in the middle, it's head against the rice colored wall, while a wooden desk stood by it. Across from that, on the other wall, was a large chest, and in the wall that laid in-between the desk and the chest was a large window, that had a full view of the yard.

Feeling as her body start to shake with slight suspension, Tenten gulped, [It's now or never] she repeated in her mind, feeling as a sudden urge to run away came through her body. But she resisted and stepped inside, feeling as a jolt of energy hit her body like an electric shock, making her step back as terror filled her entire body, making her stop and freeze. [What is this?] Tenten asked as brought her hands into her view, her eyes becoming dark and distant as blood red images approached her mind. Screaming was heard; lot's of screaming and . . . blood. It was dripping everywhere. Thick red pools of blood surrounded dead bodies and every second that passed, more and more people fell down, lifeless. And, she happened to be . . . enjoying it?

Just as soon as the fear had come over her body, it had disappeared, and Tenten instantly took hold of her forehead, feeling as her knees weaken. Crashing into the wall for support, her eyes refocused back onto the room as her mind replayed back the blood red images she had seen just moments ago. Bringing her left hand up into her view, she gripped it tight, remembering how it was covered in so much blood just seconds ago. Streaming down her fingers, it felt . . . Tenten shook her head furiously, no, she shouldn't be thinking like this, she'd turn into Orochimaru the 2nd, having a likeness for blood, death of people, no, it wasn't right! She won't be thinking like this!!

Pushing herself off the wall, the weapon master looked towards the room door, emptying her thoughts as she concentrated on the wall, there was defiantly a high-class genjutsu surrounding the room, allowing no entrance. Spotting a small gleam of yellow chakra, Tenten frowned, cursing her older brother under her breathe for his smart intelligence. Now how was she supposed to break through that jutsu?

"Use me, use my power"

Tenten winced, feeling as her back burn upon her skin, emitting a small blue light that glowed in through the hallway, "Who's' there?" Tenten gritted her teeth, feeling as the pain surged throughout her body.

"Tenten"

Falling down upon her knees against her will, the weapon master felt as the pain, in her back, slowly start to die away together with the soft blue light. Her chocolate brown eyes looking towards the source of the sound, deepened glowering towards the older boy who stood just above her. Shinning black hair, snow-white eyes, he sure might be a hottie, but his heart was sure cold.

"Neji, I'm not in the mood to argue with you" Tenten stated, glaring towards the boy whom she had loved for quite some time now. Using the wall for her support, Tenten tried to get up back on her feet, but failed, falling back down with a small 'Plomp!'

"Why are you here? How did you get through the front door?"

"You left you're clothes and you're front door was unlocked" The branch family member, Hyuuga Neji stated, tossing the helpless girl her bag of clothes which she had left at his residence. Looking around the hallway, his eyes met with the nearly invisible wall of chakra and the corner of his lips lifted slightly. There was a high intense amount of chakra embedded in the barrier, with an illusion skill within it. Making the invader suffer from something terrible that had happened to them in the past, or show their most dreaded fear if they decided to pass through it.

Finally able to get back onto her wobbly feet, Tenten examined the boy who stood in front of her, seeming to notice how his eyes looked in amusement towards the yellow wall of chakra, which of course, belonged to her good for nothing brother, Tateya.

"Hey Neji, you want to break down that barrier for me?" Tenten asked with hopeful eyes

"No"

The weapon master frowned, trying to think of something that would possibly make Neji listen to her, for once, "Ah! I guess even the great Hyuuga Neji can't break it down"

A vein popped up from Neji's forehead, "I never said that I couldn't break it down" he replied, his voice as calm as usual, yet there was a tint of annoyance

Tenten grinned, "Prove it," she challenged

Another vein popped from the usual calm forehead of Neji's. In a smooth approach, he walked down the hallway, his firm hand placed upon the wall, sensing the chakra beneath it. Reaching the end of the hallway, the branch member of the Hyuuga clan stopped, and turned to face it fully, both his hands lying upon the smooth surface.

The barrier was well made, he had to admit, but there were still too many weak points in it. The chakra, was too focused on the doorway, making the around surroundings low in concentration. So that meant. The position furthest away form the doorway is where the wall would most likely have the thinnest concentration of chakra

Focusing all the chakra Neji had within his body to his palm, the Byakugan master grinned as he released it.

BAM!!!!!

BANG!!!

SWISH!!

Tenten placed her arm up in front of her to block her eyes from the sudden wind of dust that had appeared. Couching slightly, she looked around at her surroundings and her mouth instantly fell open. There, stood Neji, a happy grin upon his face, while beneath his feet stood the broken down pieces of the smooth white wall that had collapsed, "Neji!!"

Turning around to face the surprised girl, Neji's amused smile never faded. Casting her a questioning look, she looked at him as if he were crazy.

"I never said you could break down the wall!!" Tenten exclaimed, apparently slightly angry at the whole situation. Now how was she suppose to explain this to her older siblings?!

"You never said I couldn't" Neji countered as he stepped over the large amount of debris, entering inside the room, where apparently nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except for the back of a large looking chest that stood in front of him.

"Argh" Tenten groaned out as she let off a sigh, running after Neji. Maybe she should thank him? He did get her in and although it was the stupidest way she could imagine, he had gotten her in, which was good, "Hey Neji Th-"

Tenten stopped in her midway as she saw Neji reading what seemed to be an old scroll. Marching up to him angrily, she yelled out, "What do you think you're doing?!"

Seeing that the older boy didn't reply, Tenten frowned and peered over his shoulder to see what he was reading. It was an old scroll of history, which seemed to have a weird snowflake symbol marked at the top.

"You have this mark engraved on your back" Neji stated out as he pointed to the symbol that stood at the top right hand corner of the scroll, remembering where he had seen it from.

{No, really] Tenten thought sarcastically, she was itching to say that to him, but thought better of it and replaced it with a, "So?"

"Here" Handing the younger girl the scroll, Neji looked away. Walking out towards the living room of the house, leaving Tenten to have some silence to herself. She would need it.

Taking the scroll with a confuse gaze, Tenten watched as her childhood crush walk out the room. Sighing silently to herself, she placed herself upon her parents soft bed and started reading through the data of the scroll,

Hidden Village of Snow

Forbidden History Book #2

The Four Beasts, Ilya

Ilya, the Ice goddess, was said to be one of the 4 ancient beasts that lived in this world. Together with the nine tailed fox demon, Kyubi, the sand beast, Shukaku, and the firebird, Phoenix, they had caused great rapid destruction to this world. (I made up the Ice goddess, Ilya and the Phoneix)

These four demons have said to be sealed long ago, yet they can never truly die. They move from one body to another, living off of them until they fade away.

These beasts are sealed within four different family heritages, causing them pain and suffering. The Ice Goddess, Ilya, was supposedly sealed in one of the many family heritages within the Village of Snow. The ancient ones said that a mark of the snowflake was embedded on the Ice demon's back; and whoever received the 'cursed' symbol, was the human sealed container of Ilya.

Tenten felt as shock over took her body as she reread the last sentence of the small scroll, which she held in her trembling hands. Her body becoming limp and fragile, she placed her hand upon her mouth, in alarm. No, it couldn't be true! It couldn't be!! There was no way she could have an Ice Goddess sealed within her! She was just a plain normal average 13 year old!

Shaking her head with frustration, Tenten took in a deep breath as she tried to sort out her thoughts. Remembering a saying the teachers had taught her in the Ninja Academy, Tenten bit her lower lip from screaming 'Be calm and sort out what things to do before making any decisions, it may cause the fall down of your group and may also lead to death, if you make the wrong choice'

==X== Outside in the living room ==X==

Neji let out a deep unknown breath he had been holding as he dropped himself down on the comfortable looking couch. He had a hunch something big was going to happen when he came to find her, and he was correct. He was always correct. Remembering the scrolls records, his forehead ceased. The Symbol of the Snowflake is the Symbol of the Ice Goddess, Ilya. Tenten received that symbol, so did that mean that . . .?

Neji closed his snowy white eyes, resting them for a minute. Tenten had the symbol of the snowflake embedded on her back, so that must also mean that she is the human container for Ilya. But that couldn't be possible; the scroll even said that Ilya was sealed in a family heritage within the Village of Snow, so how would Tenten be able to have her if . . .

Neji frowned, it was like he was inside a maze right now, trying to find the exit, yet the maze had more mysterious in it than it normally seemed, and he was stuck.

The Byakugan master never did like mysterious, nor solving them, and Tenten was defiantly a mystery to him. But there was a difference between this one compared to all others. Because this mystery, he'd solve for sure.
