Chapter 3- Oh no Tenten!
( Tenten's POV)
' Oh no, I can't believe this is happening to me, please no!' I thought as tears escaped my eyes. ' I have to get out of here.' I heard Tsunade- sama call after me, but I didn't stop, I couldn't stop, I had to keep running. Pretty soon, I came to the team's training ground, and I finally broke down. Good thing no one was there, because if Neji was me he would probably say, " Crying is for the weak, that means you are weak, Tenten." The sky started raining, probably it was God who was crying for me….
Flashback:
I had an urgent message from our new hokage and one of the legendary sannin, Tsunade, so I rushed to her office. It was kind of gray outside, but I didn't really notice. When I arrived at the hokage tower, I saw Neji and Hiashi- sama, Neji's uncle there. There, in the middle of her office, was Tsunade- sama herself, looking troubled. I asked her what was wrong, but she did not answer me. I looked at Neji, and for once, his eyes started to soften, almost like it was… sympathy? That was not a good sign. Something told me I did not want to hear what the hokage had to stay, but I could move….
Flashback ends
Now I really couldn't control my tears, but I was so tired, I just lied there crying, with the rest of the clouds crying with me….
(Neji,s POV)
My uncle told me there was an urgent message from Tsunade- sama, so we left quickly. When we got there, Tsunade told us the verdict. I could not believe it. ' Tenten…' Tsunade made an agreement with my uncle, but I wasn't paying attention. I was just thinking. ' Tenten, Tenten, Tenten…' over and over again. That was when Tenten herself came. She asked what was wrong and then looked at me. For once, I let my eyes soften, I felt really bad for her. Tsunade told her what happened, and with one last look at me, she ran away. I chased after her.
' Tenten'
( Tenten' POV)
I don't know how long it was, but I knew it wasn't long, for Neji had arrived shortly after. He looked at me with the same look- sympathy- and walked towards me. He looked into my eyes, my tears, and put his hand on my shoulders. Almost to say cry, let it all out. But I told him, " Crying is for the weak, I am a shinobi, and shinobi must not show any emotions." I looked down. I was surprised when he answered, " Crying is not for the weak, if you're heart is strong." I have never heard him say something so deep, so human. I don't know what made me do it, but I grabbed him into a hug, and cried on his shoulder. Both of us were pretty wet but we didn't care. All I was thinking was that I wished I could hug him forever and be with him forever. He seemed surprised at the sudden contact, but he didn't seem to mind. I mean he didn't hug me back, but he didn't push me off. Well, I guess that is Neji for you. I was just glad he was here with me to comfort me.
( Neji's POV)
I had found Tenten lying on the training grounds. She looked so tiny and fragile that it was hard to believe that she was a strong ninja. As I walked closer, I noticed her tears were mixed with the rain. I went up to her to comfort her, and was shocked when she hugged me and cried, while clinging on to me like a lost kitten. I guess that was what she was. A strong kitten with sharp claws, but no home. Being, the emotionless person I was, I didn't hug her back. But I think she was just glad I was there, and didn't push her off. We stayed there for quite a long time, but we were both lost in the arms of eachother…
' I'm sorry Tenten, but your parents were killed in a mission, they were ambushed…'
