Chapter 3

It was 6 o' clock when Tenten woke up from her long and much needed sleep. She slowly turned her head from side to side trying to loosen up the sore muscles she had in her neck from her fight with Sakura. As Tenten looked around shenoticed that she was not in her own room..but in somebody elses.

"Good your up"..replied a voice from one of the corners of the dark and practically empty room.

"...Neji?" Tenten said.

"Yeah it's me.." Neji said back to Tenten while coming out from the corner and steping into the light so Tenten could see that it was him.

"...What am I doi-.."

"You were hurt and nearly knocked out so I brought you back here to rest and clean your wounds.." Neji said with no expression on his face at all (very un-emotional)

"..Uhh..Thank You.." was all Tenten could say. She's known Neji for a long time, but never has he offered ..or even considered helping her when she was tired from trainnig or hurt. (this shocked her..just a little)

"Oh and don't be angry that I had to remove part of your shirt to get the wound on your shoulder cleaned..I really didn't see anything (okay..maybe I saw a little bit..but she doesn't have to know that). Then Neji quickly turned around before Tenten could see that his calm exterior was breaking downand hispale cheeks were turning a nice bright shade of red (o0o dip..Neji's blushing!).

Tenten just stared at him while he turned his back to her..opened the door and walked out. She could swear that she saw his cheeks turn red when he told her about her shirt.. (oh god her shirt!) Tenten pulled the blanket from her chest and saw that the top right half of her shirt was missing..and the bandages were wraped not over her bra strap..but under it. All Tenten could do was blink her eyes and stare at her shoulder..

(Neji..removed part of my shirt...and bandaged my wound..and blushed..And Blushed! Oh My God he blushed..at me!) Tenten screamed this in her head over a hundred times. Then she got up..not worried about peoplebeing able to see her..uhh(well you know) because she was covered by the bandages and she still had plenty of shirton. Then she opened the door to Neji's room and exited the Hyuga Estate.

Tenten quickly walked home as fast as she could without the pain beingto much to handleand the wounds opening up. When shearrived at herapartment she changed into her PJ's.. and quietly..like there were people all around ,watching and listening to her.. she pulled out from under her bed the silverbox with the picture of her parents.

Tenten stared at the picture of her mom and dad, and started thinking about all the horriable memories that have layed dorment inside her mind for ages, but she couldn't stop them from re-awakining.

She couldn't seem to remember any of the good memories that she had with her parents only the terriable ones. Tenten remembered the day thatthey died...that was the only thought that came to to her mind..Nomatter how hard she tried to forget those memories will never go away.

Flashback

"Tenten..Honey! her Mom yelled..please come here for a minute you father and I have something very important to tell you!"

It was a beautiful winter day..the snow was fallingsoftly and the wind was making the snow dance around the trees. Tenten was just 6 years old at the time.

"Yes..Mother?" replied a loud and rowdy Tenten.

"Your father and I are leaving for a top secretmisson toSand Country to get rid of some bad men that may be working as spies for Sand..and giving Sand our information..So you are going to be staying withMr.Gai..who will..in a few yearsbecome your Ninja Teacher..do you understand?" said Tenten's mother (dont forget she's talking to a 6 year old).

"...Yes..Mommy." replied a very confused Tenten.

But that night something horriable happend...and this permantly scarred Tenten for the rest of her life..

That nightfive ninjas fromSand broke into Tenten's house trying to kill them. Now Tenten's parents were both Jounins, therefore they weren't likely to lose that easily, but the Sand-nins new what Tenten's parents would give their lives for...her.

The ninjas grabbed Tenten and told her parents that it was either their lives..or their daughter's.Tentens parents agreed for the ninjas to take their livesinstead. So the four ninjas grabbed Tentens parents and made them kneel on the floor. The ninja the was holding Tenten stood a few feet back from the other ninjas holding Tenten's parents.

Tenten's mother told Tenten not to look but Tenten was too afraid to take her eyes off her parents. The Sand-nin standing on the right side of her father took out a sword and before Tenten new it flesh was ripping and blood was pouring out everywhere.

Tenten's mother screamed in horror and shock (too bad they lived far away from people maybe if they didn't they would have had achance because someone would have heard the scream).Then it was her turn the ninja with the sword put it up to the back ofTenten's mother's neck. Before the Sand-nin completed his job Tenten's mother said..

"Tenten...I am so sorry that your father and I have put you through this...we never meant for anything like this too happen..I want you to know that no matter what happens.. I will always be with you..just listen to the wind carefully and you can hear my voice again...I will always Lo-.."

The Sand-nin shoved the sword through Tenten's mothers neck and that was the end..Tenten stared crying and screaming...then she kicked her captures leg..bit his arm and ran..ran as fast as her tiny legs could carry her. She ran under a bush and hide there until she new the Sand-nin were gone.

When she saw them leave she ran back into her house and ran into the room her parents were slaughtered in. Tenten hugged her mother and cryed until she smelt smoke and relized her house was on fire...she ran out never to see her parents happy faces and sweet voices again..not to mention that Tenten will never be able to feel the love that a parent gives to their child for the rest of her life.

Back to Now

Tenten sat crying in her room..letting all the memories flood back even the good ones which made her cry even more..Tenten new that love was something she will never be able to recieve again..but little did she know that one certain Ninja's heart might be all it takesfor someof the pain that she has kept hidden inside her smile for years and years may be lifted from her and make her feel loved again.
