I'm so depressed today. This chapter might totally suck considering the fact that my life is over and my parents are signing me up for things I don't even know about…

Will it get better in college where I'm gonna move as far as I can from my evil parents? How bout Mars or Pluto?

P.S. this chapter isn't meant to be funny. It's suppose to be touching and real…so if anyone finds this chapter funny, you have problems.

Tenten's Bad Luck Chapter 8

Neji stormed through the rain, as fast as he could, heading towards the direction of Tenten's house. Thunder struck, but Neji couldn't hear anything except the constant ringing of Gai's story about Tenten and the guilt about how stupid he was.

I should have done this sooner…Neji thought. Apologize to her…

He skidded around the corner and ran past puddles of water until he reached Tenten's house. He ran up to the front door and knocked super hard.

"OPEN UP, TENTEN!" Neji screamed.

The door opened and there stood Tenten's mother. She had big eyes. "Hello? What do you want?" she asked, not bothering to invite him in while it was absolutely pouring outside.

"I need to speak to Tenten!" Neji hollered, his hair dripping wet.

Tenten mother narrowed her eyes. "I'm sorry…Tenten doesn't want any visitors, so I'm gonna have t—"

But Neji didn't let the woman finish. He grabbed her by her collar and snarled against her face. "Listen!" He barked. "I'm going to make things right with Tenten before I make the biggest mistake of my life!"

With that, he ran into the apartment, without permission and ran straight up to Tenten's locked door. He pounded his fists, but it was no use. Tenten didn't speak nor did she answer the door.

Tenten's mother was frightened and rushed into the apartment, barking at Tenten's locked door. "TENTEN! GET HIM OUT OF MY HOUSE, NOW!"

Neji couldn't believe what a shallow mother she was…he apologized to himself and god in his mind and swiftly knocked Tenten's mother out with a punch in the stomach.

She collapsed into the ground.

"TENTEN! OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE!" Neji shouted, continuing pounding the door.

-

On the other side of the door, Tenten was sitting on her bed, her hair and clothes wet, her eyes red and her head between her knees. She was a broken child.

"TENTEN! PLEASE! OPEN UP!" Neji barked from the other side of the door.

Tenten didn't even bother getting up. She didn't even bother saying anything. She just sat there, her mind completely out of it, like she couldn't hear or see anything except those blinding memories of her bitter childhood no one ever knew.

"Go…away…" Tenten croaked, her throat scratched and her mouth dry.

Neji didn't move at all, except banging on her door.

Tenten flinched, her eyes turning white, as her mind continued burning with haunting memories. No one caring for her…no one bothering to speak to her…her father raping her every night…her mother smoking drugs and not even bothering to look at the frail child.

"STOP!" Tenten commanded herself, she clutched her head and rolled off the bed. "STOP! ENOUGH!" but the memories continued recurring and the things she always wanted to forget, were still circling her mind.

"Tenten? What's the matter?" Neji asked, banging a fist at the door. She could hear Tenten screaming "Stop" but he didn't know what was happening. "ARE YOU OK?"

Tenten clutched her head harder as a bloody memory of her being stabbed by a knife, over and over again. She fell on the floor, her hair covering her eyes as she struck the floor.

That's it…Neji thought. He knocked the door over with a hard push and ran inside Tenten's room as Tenten was on the ground, grabbing onto her head and screaming.

Neji was horrified.

"TENTEN! STOP!" Neji hollered and immediately went over to Tenten's side and tried to get her calm down.

But Tenten was hysterical, sweating, her heart beating like crazy and tears rolling down her cheeks. She wanted to forget…forget it all. Forget everything that she'd ever done or seen. Forget ever being born.

Neji grabbed Tenten's hand and held her down, trying desperately to stop her maniac act. "Tenten!" he cried.

Tenten gasped for breath and closed her eyes, slowly murmuring. "Make…it stop…" she croaked, as she slumped in Neji's arms. He hugged her tight and cried.

"Tenten…it's ok…please…forgive me." Neji said softly, stroking the frail girl's long hair. "Please stop." Tenten was sprawled on Neji's lap, her head propped on his shoulder, eyes closed.

"Stop hurting yourself…" Neji said. These were the only words Tenten heard him say after she went unconscious.

(Back at the restaurant)

Gai and Lee paced around the store, still cleaning up food, whirled all around the place. They sighed every once in a while, wondering what was going on with Neji and Tenten right now.

"Gai-sensei…I'm worried." Lee said, picking up a plate of anchovies.

"About Neji?" Gai asked.

"Yea. I'm afraid something is going to change." Lee said. "Like our friendship."

Gai smiled softly and turned around. "It's gonna be fine. Neji is dealing with Tenten."

"But Neji has never been a people person. He hates people, for all I know." Lee argued.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Gai said.

"How would you know?"

"Because…"

"Because what, Gai-sensei?"

"Because Neji loves Tenten." Gai told Lee. "He'd do nothing to hurt her."

Lee smiled softly. "That's right." He whispered. That's right…

End of chapter.

Story is not finished yet, so wait on!

As you can tell, Tenten isn't mad about the poster with her bathrobe and all…she's mad that she's never been looked up upon or even regarded as a human being. Her teammates never cared for her needs or what she was going through.

Rape, drugs, murder…all that she goes through.

Pretty confusing chapter.
