Previously…..
The only way she could stop (or at least numb) the pain in her heart right now was to not focus on it. Tenten sat up and raced out the door towards the Hokage's mansion.
*******
Tsunade sighed for about the millionth time, sitting at her desk looking at sheets of paper. There were tons of papers on the citizens needing "help", Tsunade laughed at the word, they were currently in a state of almost war and this kid wanted….wanted…oh kami she was hoping this wasn't what she thought it was.
"SHIZUNE!!!!" Tsunade yelled before putting her head in hands and waiting bored, she thought about the hidden sake in her drawer that maybe she could sneak after Shizune leaves. Said woman came barreling through the door.
"Yes, what is it?" She said walking up next to Tsunade.
"Is this what I think it is?" Tsunade said handing her a paper which Shizune was now reading swiftly. She then proceeded to look up from the paper at Tsunade questioningly.
"I don't see anything wrong with this."
"Umm did you see what it was about?" Tsunade said giving Shizune a disbelieving look.
"Yes." they both looked at each other for a minute not quite understanding what they were talking about. Tsunade then held out her hand and Shizune gave her the paper, she then looked over it to make sure she wasn't going crazy, yep still the same thing. She glared back up at Shizune who was still confused.
" You think this is ok for a D-rank mission?" She said and Shizune nodded.
"IT'S A FREAKING CAT RESCUE!!" She couldn't handle it, yes they had done this before but really this boy was 12 and his cat was in a tree she was pretty sure he could get it himself.
"To a boy who is handicapped and the tree is 20 ft. tall." Shizune said with a sigh pointing her finger to a certain place on the paper. Tsunade looked down and just threw the paper as far as she could.
"Well I guess you might as well send one of the genin right away." She sighed yet again, Shizune looked at her weird.
"Jeeze stay off the sake." She mumbled quietly. Tsunade threw a pencil at her head and then went back to her previous pose looking at the papers. Shizune rubbed the back of her head and grumbled her way out of the office. She ran into Tenten who was out of breath at the moment.
"Shizune, can I speak to the Hokage?" She said
"Umm yeah I don't think she's too busy at the moment."
Tenten walked in trying to catch her breath and Tsunade looked up at her, a little surprised thinking that her and Neji usually are training at this time.
"Can I help you Tenten?" Tenten nodded slowly.
"I was wondering do you have any more missions for me?"
"So soon you just got back this morning." Tsunade sat up straighter and motioned for Tenten to sit down, which she in turn did.
"Yeah I know, I just would like to go on another one, and as many as possible to help out Konoha as much as possible." Tenten said trying not to let anything too suspicious leak out. Tsunade just peered at her over her hands.
"Tenten, I don't know what's going on but drowning yourself in missions is not thing to get over it with."
"Don't worry Tsunade-sama I just want to do my part." Which in over all was very true, but right at this moment Tenten had to stop the snagging of her heart. Tsunade looked at the kunoichi seriously contemplating, she was serious about doing her part, but, there was something in that mass of emotions swirling in the depths of those big brown eyes that had to be forgotten quickly. She looked down at what missions she could possibly give the determined girl. There were tons but she wasn't going to like her options.
"Tenten, I have some missions for you, and they can succeed each other quite quickly but its your choice if you want to do them." Tenten was expecting a firm no, but she smiled inside at the words Tsunade just spoke.
"I'll do them." Tenten said positively beaming inside, she could finally get in her mission mode again and not have to think about other stuff.
"You're not going to like this very much." The smile faltered a little but Tenten kept her gaze steady at Tsunade.
"I'm keeping to my word." Tsunade sighed.
"Ok your first mission, leave immediately, this one is extremely important and if need be stay a couple days to get it done." Tsunade said handing Tenten a case folder. Tenten opened it and looked down to see yet another pair of smug eyes coming out of the picture, her next target in an assassination. Tenten's inner being was screaming, kicking trying to get a voice, but being a kunoichi she could easily push it down and assume the ninja indifference. Besides, she may hate the seducing but she really loved assassinations even though it meant killing someone. A small smirk came onto her delicate lips, well Neji can go train by himself because Tenten has some serious missions to do. She looked up and nodded to Tsunade, who nodded back, seeing the smirk and certain gleam in her eye. Tsunade again for about the trillionth time now sighed. Tenten got up to leave her tactics for her mission already on her mind. Before she left the office completely she came back half way through the door and saw Tsunade had already gone back to looking at the many papers on her desk.
"Umm Tsunade-sama?" She said quietly Tsunade looked up from what she was doing.
"Yes Tenten?" Tenten got a sincere smile on her face but it wasn't over cocky, or even happy it was just full of relief.
"Thanks." She said. Tsunade watched as the bun-haired girl left, and couldn't help but to think that maybe this kunoichi had a lot more strength then she originally thought.
*****************
Tenten walked along happily and kept thinking about what her next mission. The guy had been a lot more fit that's for sure so she would have to be extra careful in when she would have to do the job, but she was confident she could do it. When suddenly she stopped walking and got the weirdest look on her face, she then groaned in what looked like self disappointment.
"Damn, I forgot I burned those retched clothes." Remembering this morning, she also didn't have time to really go outfit shopping either, the only person she could think of was the one person she didn't really want to see at the moment.
"Oh! Hey there Tenten!" Ino waved excitedly at the girl, Tenten smiled back and walked to the front of the flower shop where Ino was currently spritzing some flowers to keep them in good health.
"Hey Ino, how the planning going?" Ino laughed and continued to tell Tenten about everything, the perfect flowers (of course they were, why wouldn't they be she worked in a freaking flower shop.) the perfect dress and all the beautiful things that would make her wedding. Tenten was almost sorry she asked, but was glad to see Ino was happy, especially in the most stressful time of most girls lives.
"Well I'm glad Ino, hey can I ask a favor?" Tenten asked.
"Sure girl anything what is it?"
"Well I have a mission and I was wondering if I could borrow a dress of yours." Ino stopped with what she was doing and gave Tenten a devilish look where Tenten rolled her eyes but none-the-less smiled.
"Oh one of those missions eh?" Tenten nodded
"Good I've wanted to make you a vixen for a long time now." Tenten groaned as Ino threw off her apron and told someone else to watch over her spot.
"You know Tenten you've always been a little to rugged for any man's taste so you know I've actually thought about what you would like if you did dress a LITTLE more like me, and you would look so hot!"
Ino talked to Tenten like that while she rummaged through her closet and looked for the outfit she wanted Tenten to wear. All the while throwing clothes that she also thought Tenten should have including some small skirts and shorts. Tenten rolled her eyes again and said she really didn't need clothes and she shouldn't be giving them to her, to which Ino replied that she was "borrowing" them until she got tired of them.
Then Ino pulled out the dress she wanted to wear, it was dark green, strapless, and incredibly small. Tenten gulped and realized that it really was a perfect seducing dress with a slit up the already really short side, enough to get anyone hot. Along with that Ino threw a pair of silver four inch high heels, some silver rhinestone bracelets, and a big silver clip to hold Tenten's hair up. Tenten agreed this really was a good seducing outfit and knew she would probably be the most stylish girl there. She thanked Ino who smiled and wished her luck on her mission.
Tenten got home and put all the clothes (which was quite a bit) that Ino gave her on her room and started packing, when she heard a knock on her door. Growling to herself that she had already taken too much time getting what she needed and she really had to leave right now. She went to the door and just threw it open while she went and got her weapons out of her bag and in certain places in the house.
"Just come in!" she yelled at the door, to the unknown person there. She heard them walk in cautiously and then stop and watch her pack for her mission. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she almost forgot they were there. She stopped abruptly and looked over to see the person. Of course it was Neji who else would it be right before she left for another assassination? Damn her life was all she said to herself when she saw him.
"Oh I'm sorry I'm just really busy, I haven't been ignoring you on purpose." She said stopping with a couple kunais in one hands and some shuriken in the other.
"It's fine." Neji said uneasily, Tenten flicked her head to the kitchen signaling him to follow her, which he did and she continued to clean her weapons.
"Is there something you need to tell me?" She said softly while cleaning the dried blood off of the kunai she had used for Joshi, she cursed herself again for not remembering to do that when she got back.
"I was just coming to say that we could train tomorrow, because we didn't today….." Neji said rather quietly not wanting to admit that he was wrong. Tenten finished cleaning that kunai and threw it on the counter, then she pulled another out and started to clean that one.
"I can't" She pretended to be focusing on a very hard stain to avert from having to look in Neji's eyes.
"Why not?" His voice seemed to get back its arrogant side. Tenten still feeling a little bitter about before putting that one back on the counter, she placed one hand on her hip and with the other she leaned on the counter.
"I have a mission."
"So soon?" His eyes, searching hers intently while she tried to remain impassive, hiding all emotion.
"Yeah, I wanted to gain more experience." Her gaze faltered for half a second not enough to catch.
"I see, is it an assassination?" He was now holding unknown emotions in his own eyes. Tenten just nodded, she grabbed the handful of weapons off the counter, and went to put them in a designated bag for her mission.
Neji followed her silently and didn't say another word, inside her mind Tenten was going crazy. Great now did he not only think she enjoyed them but she now wanted more experience. She mentally sighed, nothing to be said to get it back now. She continued to prepare, while he mutely watched. When she was ready to go, he looked at her indifferently.
"How long will you be gone?"
"a couple days at least." He nodded curtly, and just walked out of the house, no 'good luck' or anything. That hurt Tenten the worst, he was supposedly her best friend and he didn't even say goodbye. She would have preferred a yelling match but that had never been Neji's style. Now Tenten had to refocus her mind on the mission ahead. Damn him he just had to make everything difficult. Tenten headed out into the forest by herself, her mind desperately trying to suppress what had just happened.
