Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I only own the plot.

I'm giving Tenten and her family a last name…it annoyed me to no end since there are times when I needed her last name and it's not there. Now her last name is Asakura (If Tenten does have a last name in the Naruto series please tell me. I tried to find it and it's just not there.)

First I planned to write what happens to Tenten during the time she left Konoha but I decided to let the past collide with the present. Therefore, what happened during that time will be explained in the latter part of the steory.

After not reading English for a month, I can feel my English slipping. It's really sad. I apologize if the grammar is really bad. Sorry for the late update, moving really takes a long time, getting the internet back up and working is even harder.

Does anyone listen to Mandarin songs? Currently, I'm obsessed with FIR's newest CD. My favourite song right now is 把愛放開 or "Let Love Go".

Some Kind of Fairytale-ch2

Seven years later...

"Mom, is Konoha beautiful?" A boy asked. On the outside, he looked like he was not much older than six years old. Currently, he was wearing a white shirt and short brown pants that reached his knees. His hands were wrapped around his backpack that was in front of him. His short black hair was spiked up to resemble a uni. What differentiated him from other boy would be his eyes for they are pale white.

If one looks at him, one would say that he is extremely good-looking despite his young age. He'll be a heartthrob later on when he grows up. However, right now, he was looking curiously at his mother as the horse they were riding on trotted on the path toward Konoha.

His mother, who was sitting behind the boy, pulled on the rein, manoeuvring the horse to avoid puddles that were caused by the heavy rainfall a few days earlier. She was wearing a pair of silver framed glasses. Her long black hair was tied up into a ponytail and was held into a bun by a large hairpin. She was wearing a baby blue blouse and a pair of black baggy pants. A large black trench coat that reached her knees prevented her top from getting dirty as the horse kicked dirt up as it trotted. A few packs were tied onto the horse behind her, dangling on its sides.

That woman is Asakura Tenten.

She pushed the frame of her glasses up as she pondered about the question.

She left Konoha after the argument with her father. It was easy to leave since she still had all the things with her from the last short trip. She walked toward the gate of Konoha that night, making sure that she was on one of the busiest streets so that people would see her as she passed. She wanted her father's men to be able to find gain information as to where she was heading so that the time it takes to find her would be shortened. She didn't really want to leave; it was a spur of a moment thing because she was so angry at that time. Her father had never hit her before. Usually when she did something wrong, he would look at her for a long time, scrutinizing her. Then he would ask her what she thing she did wrong. She would answer; he would nod if she answered correctly. From then on, she would just apologize and tell her father that she would not do the same thing again.

It was that simple.

There were times when she wouldn't say she was sorry because she believed that she was right. When that happens, her father and she would talk for some time. It wouldn't take too long before they come to an agreement. Then an arrangement would be made and things would just go on like they always do.

It was a matter of time before her father's men find her she believed.

She'd gone to the Wave Country. There was tension between the Fire and the Sand Country, she didn't want to be there when the situation between the two country turn hostile.

She waited.

And waited.

Nobody showed up.

By the time she wanted to go back, she found herself pregnant for two months.

At the beginning she made plans to go back. She was nostalgic. Things kept turning up and then she had no time to go to Konoha anymore.

Her plan was delayed for seven years. If an incident didn't come up, then she wouldn't even be heading back to Konoha right now.

"Mom! Mom!" Her son asked as he pulled her several times by the arm, shaking her out of her thoughts.

Tenten could only smile as she watched her son talk enthusiastically, waving his arms about. His beautiful white orbs seemed to sparkle as he asked her what he could do once he reached the village.

She couldn't stand it anymore.

"You are so cute." Tenten said as she held her son in a headlock. With her other hand, she rubbed her knuckles through his hair. She knew it would annoy her son to no end but he's just too adorable. She loved him so much. There were times when she thought she couldn't go on anymore, but when she saw his son, hope filled hear heart. She would continue on, no matter how difficult things are. Besides she could never be able to ruin her son's perfect hair. When his hair was short, it would somehow defy gravity and spike up no matter what she does.

"Mom." Her son pouted in protest. "I'm six years old."

Tenten tapped her son by his nose, "And I'm twenty-four."

Within no time, the pair found themselves standing in front of the large Western Gate of Konoha. Tenten got of the horse, Kentaro (her son) slid his left leg to the other side so both of his legs were on the same side. Tenten picked him up and placed him onto the ground when the gate opened. A group of ANBU walked passed her toward the entry, four of them in total. They had yet to take off their mask; therefore, Tenten had no idea who those people were. There was a woman with purple hair standing near the gate. Tenten assumed she was waiting for the ANBU as they came back from a mission.

They all stopped what they were doing when they saw Tenten's face.

Feeling uncomfortable, Tenten grabbed her son by the hand and pulled the rein of the horse as she entered the gate. It took almost all of her control to not pick up her son and run. The atmosphere was tense for her, since it was not everyday where the ANBUs were looking at you. It was impossible to tune out the feeling of dread that came with the stares, that was unless you were her son.

"Where are we going to go first mom?" Letting go of his mother's hand, Kentaro walked ahead of her, looking around the village he'd never been to before.

Despite the fact that Tenten wanted to call out to her son, she didn't. It was because she thought that she was just being paranoid. After all, it was the ANBU's job to protect the village, since she barely associates herself with shinobi, there is a great chance that they don't know her identity. That was probably the fact for their staring.

Satisfied with her own explanation, she allowed her son to get a few steps ahead of her. However, she was suddenly jerked back when the horse refused to move as there was a large muddy puddle in front of it. Turning around, she pulled onto the rein harder, urging the horse to move. When it did, she looked turn back to look at the front where her son was.

At least that should be the place where her son should be.

But he wasn't…

He disappeared.

Tenten froze. Her mind stopped thinking as she looked at the scene in front of her. She blinked, once…twice.

Her son was not in front of her anymore.

But people don't disappear into thin air.

Tenten forced herself to stay calm. She looked around, she saw three ANBU members and the same woman with purple hair. One of the ANBUs, who was wearing the mask of an owl, went missing. Her horse forgotten, she ran up to the group.

"Hey! What did your man do to my son!" She demanded as she grabbed one of the men by the collar. The man slowly took off his fox mask. He ignored Tenten's question, instead he turned to the woman with purple hair who was beside him.

The man had shiny blond hair, ocean blue eyes, and whiskers on his cheek, making him to resemble the fox that was on his mask. Right now, his eyes were widened to the point where Tenten wondered if they would pop out any time soon.

"Hinata-chan…I just saw the scariest thing in my life." He said, stunned. "I think I just saw an adult Neji picking up a mini version of himself and took off."

"Answer my question damn it!"

"I can already feel the goose bumps appearing on my arm." The man continued, looking like he was in a traumatized phrase. He covered his face with his hands. "Please tell me that there's not another Neji. I don't want another slave driver to ruin my life."

"Naruto-kun…" The woman started but was cut off by Tenten's angry yell.

Tenten shoved the blond man backwards. She wondered how the hell a man like him can make it to be an ANBU. He couldn't even answer her question! So much for listening skills!

Her son better be alright or she is going to raise hell!

She moved on to the next, only to realize that the rest group of ANBU had already taken off their masks. There was one with unbelievably thick eyebrows and a haircut that looked like he cut himself by putting a large bowl over his head and trimming his hair from there; the one standing next to him had red paint on his cheek and a large white dog with brown ears stood beside him.

Tenten approached the one with the dog, hoping that the dog had some hunting skills. "Where the hell is your team-mate?"

"Hey lady," The man said as he raised both of his hands, palms up. He stepped back a bit as she got closer. "How the hell would I know where he went? It's not as if he told me beforehand."

"Well you have a dog don't you?" Tenten said angrily as she placed both of her hands on her hips. "Use it!"

"Akamaru is not some damn detective dog. He's a…"

"I don't give…" Tenten was startled when someone grabbed her by the arm. Soon she was blinded by a light. Blinking several times, she found herself looking at the man earlier, the man with thick eyebrows and an upside-down bowl haircut. He was smiling at her, his legs slightly apart in a stance as he gave her a thumb-up.

It was his teeth that gave that blinding light earlier.

"Don't worry my…"

"Mom!"

Tenten jerked her head toward the direction of her son's voice. She was almost relieved to find her son healthy and unharmed.

Almost.

The ANBU that was gone earlier was back. The man got his arms wrapped around her son's body, lifting her son up.

Tenten ran toward the man, trying to pry her son away from him. Tenten tried harder as Kentaro wrapped his arms around her neck to give her a better leverage. However, the man held her son in a steel grip. She could pull harder but she didn't want to injure her son's waist in the process.

"Let him go damn it."

Tenten stumbled backwards and would've fallen if she wasn't able to hold her ground when the man let go of her son suddenly. She turned her attention to her son.

Kneeling down so that she was looking at her son face-to-face, she asked, "Did he do anything to you?"

"He took me flying mom." Kentaro answered excitedly. He was totally oblivious to the worry tone in his mother's voice. "We were even faster than birds!"

"Did he say anything?"

"He asked about my name and my age. We went so far…" Her son answered slowly before continue to speak quickly. "Then before I know it, we are back again. He's truly amazing!"

Tenten nodded.

"Damn Neji," Naruto slapped the man on the back, "who would've thought you can be so sneaky."

The man called Neji didn't answer; instead he slid his owl mask off. The man had long black hair that was tied loosely behind him. He had a Leaf forehead protector over the black headband which in turn covered his forehead. His white eyes were looking at her intensely.

…A Hyuuga…

Tenten almost forgot how to breathe. It was no wonder why everybody froze when they saw her and Kentaro. The resemblance between Neji and Kentaro was astounding despite their age difference. However, there was one thing to make sure...

"May 20, Kyoto Hotel."

Tenten shook her head in defeat; he'd answered her question already. What a scary guy.

Placing Kentaro on the ground, she held her son's hand. In a confident voice, Tenten said slowly, "Kentaro meet dad, Neji meet your son."

If Kentaro knew better, he would say that her mother was nervous for her hand was slightly shaking. But there was a question that he wanted to ask.

"Mom, does that mean I'm not a bastard anymore?"

"…"

"…"

She's going to have a chat with her dear friend real soon.
