Dragon Man 180- I've actually already planned out something for that. For the moment, Hiashi doesn't know anything about their relationship.

Sephynarutocloud- Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Okay, I'm not- I just tend to make 1 millisecond kisses due to the fact that my mind draws up a blank- gomen!

Xx-Tsumi-Chan-xx- It wasn't an inconvenience- actually, I was planning on writing a chapter for couples only anyway. That- and because you asked ;

Note to: Moonlightpath- I wasn't able to get any Neji/Tenten in this chapter, but if you remind me in a review, I promise I'll have some in the next chapter!

My Trust in You

Chapter Eight- Help

Tenten stood her ground, looking around the training area.

Kunai knives and small shuriken were thrown towards her from every direction. She took out her own weapons and deflected them with ease. Tenten took off towards the trees, running through them- the only sound of her feet colliding with the thick branches were heard. She jumped off a low branch with her knees bent- her feet hit the ground at the same time. Tenten moved to the right swiftly, dodging a flying kunai knife. She took out her small shuriken with ease and threw them forward. A small puff could be heard as a shadow replicate disappeared.

Akemi came out of the bushes, panting silently.

"Thanks for training with me while the others were busy," Tenten said with a small smile. Akemi grinned slightly.

"No problem, Tenten-San…We should do this again sometime," Akemi said, pocketing her own kunai. Tenten nodded in agreement, packing her weapons. Akemi and Tenten walked out of the training area side-by-side.

Tenten sat on the cold stool with a faraway look in her eyes. Her ramen was on the table before her, getting cold. Akemi looked at Tenten curiously.

"Tenten-San…?"

Tenten snapped out of her thoughts quickly and looked at Akemi.

"Yeah-?"

"Is something… bothering you?" Akemi asked with a raised eyebrow. Tenten sighed silently and gave a small smile.

"… Just thinking," Tenten replied.

Akemi grinned evilly. She knew Tenten very well- ever since they had come back from the island, they interacted with each other a lot, mostly training with the other.

"Would you be thinking of a certain Hyuuga…?"

Tenten blushed lightly and looked at her bowl of ramen. Akemi chuckled quietly.

"You're pretty easy to figure out when it comes to Neji-San," Akemi added. Tenten tried to glare at her, but it ended up unsuccessful.

Akemi and Tenten changed the subject and continued talking over ramen.

Naruto scratched his head in confusion as he looked at the rows of clothes in his closet. He lowered his hand to his chin and rubbed his chin.

'Maybe I should get Sakura-Chan to help… She's a girl- she would know what's best…'

Naruto walked over to a table in near the door and picked up the phone. He dialed Sakura's number quickly and put the phone to his ear. After a few rings on the other side, he heard Sakura's groggy voice on the other line.

'She must've been asleep…' Naruto thought after she asked him what time it was. Naruto talked with Sakura quickly and put the phone down a few minutes later. He walked back to his closet and looked at his clothes again. Naruto began pulling out his clothes and began throwing them behind him.

Sakura knocked on the door a few times and put her hands behind her. She heard a muffled voice telling her to come in moments later. Sakura turned the doorknob and walked in.

Naruto sat in the middle of the room, cross-legged with clothes scattered everywhere. Sakura raised her eyebrow, knowing that Naruto wasn't always the clean type. Sakura closed the door behind her quickly and carefully walked over to Naruto, not wanting to step on his clothes.

"I hope you didn't call me over to clean up your house…" Sakura said, glaring at the mess he made. Naruto grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck.

"Actually, I was going to take Hinata-Chan out for dinner tonight and I didn't know what to wear…" Naruto said, trailing off. Sakura raised her eyebrow slightly and smiled.

"Well…Where are you taking her?"

"Um… I don't know…" Naruto said sheepishly. Sakura looked at him disbelievingly.

'Good thing he called me…'

"Actually…There's one thing, Sakura-Chan," Naruto said, blushing lightly but in a serious voice. Sakura looked at him curiously.

"What is it?"

Naruto took out something small from his pocket and held it out in front of Sakura. Sakura gasped quickly and began smiling happily.

"Naruto- oh my gosh! You-…"

"I'm going to ask Hinata-Chan to-"

Hinata sat on the ground, running her fingers through the grass as a small bird flew down and took a seat on her shoulder. Hinata smiled and touched the top of the bird's head gently before it flew away. She watched the small bird flutter its wings as it joined another bird. They chirped their sweet melodies and flew away together. Hinata smiled as she got up from her seat on the ground, choosing to walk around Konoha.
Amaya stood in a secluded training area, panting heavily.

'What the hell is wrong with me…' Amaya thought angrily, taking out numerous kunai knives. She raised her hand slowly and gasped. She fell to the ground holding her head.

'I…should probably go home…'

Amaya jammed her kunai knives into the small pouch and pushed herself off the ground. She stood up shakily and looked at her bloody knuckles. Her eyes rolled slightly as she fell back.

"Ow…" she muttered.

She turned over with great difficulty and pushed herself up again. Her eyes softened as old memories ran through her head.

Moments passed in silence as a soft breeze swept past her. She growled quietly as she remembered when she found out that Sasuke was still alive, and that he had once joined Orochimaru.

Amaya walked over to a nearby tree and threw her fist at it in anger. The tree shook slightly. She raised her other fist, and soon began delivering a series of furious punches to the tree.

Moments passed- the tree snapped and fell backwards. Amaya felt the ground shake slightly. She plopped down on the ground, facing the new tree stump in front of her. She sighed inwardly and looked at her knuckles again. The blood began drying at a fast pace as her wounds began healing themselves. She allowed her hand to fall down beside her lazily as she raised her head and looked up at the sky.

Amaya allowed herself to lie down. She put her hands under her head and sighed once more before she closed her eyes. She heard soft footsteps coming closer to her. Her brows furrowed in annoyance. She felt the person stop- their gaze piercing into her face. Amaya rolled to the side quickly and took out a kunai knife. Her eyes opened as she glared at the person who was looking at her.

"Kurenai-Chan," Amaya began, sitting with her legs crossed. She took out a piece of cloth and began polishing her kunai knife. Amaya had a habit of polishing kunai knives when she was uncomfortable or upset. "Something wrong?"

Kurenai shook her head and took a seat beside her.

"I should be asking you the same thing," Kurenai replied. Amaya raised her eyebrow and chuckled.

"What are you-" Amaya glanced at the cloth in her hand.

"You know me too well," Amaya said with a small grin. Kurenai's gaze trailed over Amaya's knuckles, her brows furrowed slightly when she noticed her wounds healing.

'…Something's bothering her…At this rate, she'll injure herself badly,' Kurenai thought.

'Unlike Naruto-kun or Gaara-san… The demon within me gets restless when something's amiss…' Amaya thought, frowning slightly as she pocketed her kunai knife. Amaya pushes herself up again with mild difficulty. Kurenai got up quickly.

"Well, Kakashi should be home pretty soon- I should go," Amaya said quietly. Kurenai nodded and watched Amaya walk home slowly. Kurenai sighed inwardly.

'She's a strange one…'
