Chapter Three: Misunderstandings

"I've finally found you…." said a deep voice.

Tenten looked up and saw the person that had captured her. He took of his hood and looked down straight in her eyes and it made Tenten shiver. And all she could wonder was what he meant by the words.

Tenten saw stern white-lilac eyes staring down to her brownish-bronze eyes. She cannot indicate of what is written into them (his eyes), for they were dull and emotionless; his long raven-brown hair adding to his features. She has to admit that he was, in fact, really handsome.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar feeling shot through her body and she held in a choke, 'What the hell is happening!'

She forced herself to stand up and meet the guy in her age face to face.

"Excuse me, but what is my purpose of being here?" she asked calmly, staring at the young man in front of her.

"Tenten…." was all the guy could utter.

Tenten gasped lightly, "How did you know my name!"

"Don't you remember me?" he asked.

"What! How can I if I don't even know you in the first place?" Tenten asked ridiculously.

The guy in front of her glared, "You don't know me?"

"Ugh…of course not. I don't even have any idea where I am!" Tenten said rolling her eyes.

The guy suddenly took out his a sword and pointed it directly to Tenten's throat.

"Wh-What are you doing!" Tenten asked shocked.

"Why can't you remember, Tenten? Tell me." he said coldly.

"I-I don't understand!" Tenten exclaimed.

The guy examined her for a few minutes until he put his sword back to its place and put his hood back on as he turned his back into her.

"I am the one who doesn't understand, Tenten. I have longed for you and now…I finally found you, but you do not remember a thing….." the guys said and vanished with Tenten staring at his retreating figure.

Tenten sighed sharply and looked around the place, "Now, how the heck am I going to escape!"

"Oh no dear young lady…you'll never be able to escape…." said a masculine voice.

Tenten turned around but there was no one; she looked around, "Who's there?"

"Me, milady…." said the voice.

And suddenly, Tenten felt someone grabbed her left leg and she fell backwards and winced. She gasped gritting her teeth as she saw who was on top of her; a man cloaked in back, but she cannot see his face. He was directing a kunai to her neck.

"Now, my dear…you should know that this is our territory and you shouldn't trespass. If you move an inch…you will be dead." said the man.

But Tenten didn't care. She took all the effort and flipped him aside as she kicked his jaw with strong will.

"Who are you!" she asked.

"Well, well…aren't we a toughie?" the man mocked as he, once again, grabbed her leg and made a cut through her thigh. Tenten lost her balance as she fell again.

The man made cuts through her arms, legs, and cheek. He kicked her on the stomach as she cough out blood. The man raised his sword and readies himself to kill Tenten.

"Hmmm…your time has come beautiful young lady…. May you rest in pea—" the man was interrupted as blood came out of his mouth and stomach; a sound of slashing sword can be heard.

Tenten tried her best as she looked up with slightly opened eyes and manage to stand up clutching her stomach. There, she saw him again; the young man who took her to this weird new world.

She saw her assassin lying dead on the ground covered with red liquid and slowly, he disappeared.

Tenten tried to speak out words as she looked at the guy who saved her, "Y-You…." she managed to utter, and the last words that appeared from her lips, "Sa…suke…."

The guy caught her even before she hit the ground; he put a hand to her lips and sensed that she was still breathing. He looked at her face and gently stroked her left cheek, "Tenten…."

'Who in the name of Konoha is Sasuke?'

And he disappeared with her in his arms….

"Tenten."

"Hm? What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking the same question…."

"I asked first."

"Fine then, I've come to tell you my 'farewell'…."

"F-Farewell? Why?"

"You never loved me…."

"What? That's not true! I do love you!"

"It's enough…we are different now, Tenten…. Goodbye."

"N-No! Why are you leaving me? Please stay!"

"I don't want to see your face ever again…."

"No! Don't leave me! Please!"

"NO!" Tenten sat up panting heavily as she bowed her head and beads of sweat ran down from her forehead. She covered her face with her hands and shook her head twice, 'It's just a dream….'

Then, she realized something and her head shot up as she looked around the area. She felt something or someone staring at her. She looked behind her and chokes as she coughed out some blood, due to the pain in her stomach.

"You had a dream…." the person stated and slightly drew close to her.

She stopped her coughing as she wiped away the blood from her mouth with her sleeves, "O-Obviously, yes."

"Hn…." the person replied.

Tenten sighed, 'It's him…again. Is there anything he wants from me?'

"May I ask how I have come here?" she asked as she noticed they were in some quiet big cabin with the fireplace in the middle of the room to be warm.

"You fainted." the guy stated.

Tenten remembered some events before then, "I…see."

There was an awkward silence until…

The guy spoke up, "You kept on saying 'don't leave me', 'stay', and 'no'. Care to tell what were you dreaming about, Tenten?"

Tenten sighed, "I…can't recall anything…um…"

"Hyuuga Neji." said the guy.

"Uhm…Hyuuga-san." Tenten said.

"Call me with my first name. I wouldn't want any suffixes added to my name unless I tell them to." Neji said.

"Okay…." Tenten replied.

Neji once again spoke, "Here…take these with you…. There is a hot spring 197 degrees to the right, in the corner. There are some things there that will also be needed for you."

Tenten sweat dropped, 'That's weird….'

He handed her what she needed and she nodded politely, "Thank you…Neji-san…."

"I told you not to add suffixes." Neji stated irritably.

"Um…I am sorry, Neji." Tenten said and she walked off.

Tenten sighed for the third time, finishing taking a bath as she fixed her kimono which she saw in the hot springs. The kimono was clear pearl-white and there were silver small cherry blossoms decorating it; the obi was black and the ribbon around her obi was again, silver. It was simple, yet elegant.

"I never knew I'll be wearing some kind of clothes…." Tenten murmured to herself.

Dresses, skirts, kimonos aren't her type for clothes, but she doesn't have to lie to herself that she like kimonos too. Her slippers we plain shining black. She fixed her hair in a bun behind her head, refusing to let it down, only, chopsticks ornamented it.

She folded her uniform, or what she used to wear neatly and put them in a bag. She looked at herself one last time into the mirror but then she shrugged not caring how she looked; for her, she just look okay, fine….

She stepped out of the hot springs and returned to where she previously was. She saw Neji sitting Indian-style leaning on the wall with his eyes closed. She approached him.

'Is he meditating or what?'

"Uh…Neji…?" she began.

Neji opened an eye to look at her. If he was any other ordinary young men, his eyes would have popped out of his head, nosebleed, and probably drool. However, no; he wasn't any young men…he is the type who controls his emotions.

"Hn?" he asked.

"Thank you again." Tenten said.

"Hn…." Neji replied as he opened his other eye and stare directly to Tenten's eyes.

His face hardened as he remembered her face once again, 'She looks just like her…acts like her...and how can she not be her? And their names are…the same….'

Once again, a sudden unfamiliar feeling shot through Tenten. She felt her head ache and feel her body dizzy, but she fought them.

'What's happening to me? Whenever I look at his eyes…I feel something…unusual….'

She forced a small smile and turned around to sit on the soft armchair nearby. Neji watched her every movement as he too sat on one of the armchairs in front of her.

Tenten cleared her throat, "May I ask why you took me in this…place?"

Neji scoffed, "You know nothing…."

"Oh really? Can't you see with your own two eyes that I am asking you properly?" Tenten asked somehow irritably.

Neji smirked and looked at her, "And I answered you…now, what is there to be angry?"

Tenten bit her lower lip with annoyance, "I am not angry…for your information, you didn't answer my question properly."

"Hn…." Neji replied.

Tenten snapped, "If you aren't going to tell me anything then…at least help me get back to my own destination!"

"I can't." Neji replied nonchalantly.

"…you can't?" Tenten asked with a hint of anger in her voice.

There was a long silence until…

"You really don't remember anything…." Neji said with his eyes fixed on her intently.

"What…do you mean?" asked Tenten softly.

Neji sighed sharply, "Sleep…. I'll tell you everything tomorrow."

Tenten blinked, "Sleep?"

Neji snorted and murmured, "Are you deaf or what?"

Tenten gritted her teeth, "I heard you…."

He smirked coolly in return. Tenten rolled her eyes.

A/N: Hello people! I've finally updated! So what do you think? I know it's short…kind of. I'll be really, really happy of your comments!

Review Replies:

SayomiXD- Yes! It's Neji! You bet! Oh and update your story please! It's good!

Tanya-Lilac- Uh…well, you are partially right, but not quite. Yes, this is AU! I know Tenten is meant to be older, but in this story, they're in the same ages! I know the necklace with the face thingy is rather 'weird' for 'friendship', especially with Sasuke smiling, but hey! Just find out what will happen in the next chapters! And about the huge mansion, NO it's not the Hyuuga Mansion! The mystery guy, you are right, it is Neji! Well, about your idea or guess…I can't really tell anything for now, but it's kind of like that…yet it's still not quite right…! LOL! You're sister said 'you're insane'! HAHAHAHAHA! Cool! Please continue reading! You'll find everything in later chapters! Oh and by the way, I really like your stories!

KageSakura- Cool penname! Anyways, you're welcome! I really like your stories! Hope you update them soon! I know that about the 'old grumpy guy', I made a very weird and rushed explanation…sorry about that! Here it is, that 'old man' is drunk, really drunk, and is trying to 'harass' (hope you know what I mean…) Tenten. Tenten didn't want to tell Sasuke because she didn't want Sasuke beating the 'old man' into crushed meat. You get it? Okay…so the 'secret admirers' of Tenten and Ino (I think for her, it's pretty obvious) will be revealed into later chapters! Just continue reading, please. About the mansion, yes the deep voice who took Tenten away is Neji! But, I'm going to tell you one thing: Hyuuga Neji doesn't live in that mansion! More will be explained in, as usual, later chapters. Yes, Sakura had a lot of boyfriends and she will have one again…to tell the truth. Um…well you are right about the 'Love' thing! However, it's not triangle, it's square! For Sakura, I can't tell yet (sorry!). About the Phantom of the Opera thing, what's that? I've heard of it, but I've never seen it before! It's a movie right? Anyway, no this story is never like the Phantom of the Opera…or whatever you say…. He-he…. Thank you about my real name! I thought you'll all think it's stupid…ha-ha! About Tenten's family background and other information, you'll know as you read on!

lilaznangel5543- Here's your update! Thank you for your review! Continue reading please!

Wow…that was pretty long. And I thought I'll never get any reviews! Thank you very much guys! I love y'all! I hope all of you who read this story enjoy and continue reading! Thanks again.
