******************

The room was small, clean, and all around nice. Tenten liked this room, it was a temporary safe haven. This is where she came after she left that disgusting place. She had already been here more then a couple days, her mind briefly going back to the memory of her telling Neji how long it would be, but she quickly smothered it with her mission tactics.

This new guy seemed to be extremely picky, way more picky then Joshi. She had been for the last few days trying to get him alone, but he always wanted to just make it a "date" meaning he didn't really trust her enough to actually do her. Which was totally fine with Tenten she didn't especially like to be "done" even though she was a virgin, he thought otherwise.

Tonight, was yet another night, that she had to try and gain his "trust", she had gotten to him easily enough with Ino's clothes. He immediately noticed her and was drawn to her, of course who wouldn't be attracted to someone who was basically done up by Ino? But he was tricky, she had to have a fake name (obviously) and she had a fake hobbies, that he seemed interested in, until he became to drunk and was satisfied with just kissing her.

She hated that part, when he started kissing her it was filled completely with more lust, and wanting then with love and care. His desire was growing all the more she knew she had him now, he wouldn't be able to hold back. The way he kissed her, or rather attacked her, was convincing enough. The other part that Tenten hated was that she had to play the part right back. She had to act like she wanted him so bad, that she could barely contain herself. Ugh. Disgusting.

But now, right now she was safe in her little clean haven and she was looking at the street below her window. The happy people bustling around getting their daily supplies. She couldn't take it anymore and decided that she really had to get a taste of this wonderful day. She looked at the minimal clothes she packed and found that she didn't have much that she could wear in public. So she went with what she had on ; a pair of navy shorts, and a simple white T-shirt. Putting her hair in a ponytail she then walked out the hotel door smiling in the bright morning sunlight. As long as she remained totally herself she wouldn't be noticed as the slut that walked into the bar the last couple nights; she was just a plain teenage girl enjoying her day. She smiled widely as she watched the little kids dash in and out of the farmers stands selling vegetables, homemade baskets, fruits, and other random assortments that she was looking at.

There was one particular little lady that had a jewelry booth at the way back of all the stands, you could easily look over it. But a certain gleam of dark ruby red caught Tenten's eye and she walked over and looked at the jewelry. It was some of the most beautiful jewelry she had ever seen, she continued to gaze at the bright hues and shades of the emerald, ruby, diamond, and sapphire bracelets and other accessories.

"Which one do you like the best?" The old lady said with a small smile on her face from watching the young woman admiring the creations. Tenten looked at all of the jewelry at once and tried to decide. She thought hard she thought it was pretty but she just wasn't a jewelry person. She saw a very cute ruby pair of earrings they could easily replace the ones she burned the other night.

"I really like these ones." The lady nodded and looked at Tenten with a spark in her eyes almost as if she knew Tenten wasn't quite satisfied with them.

"Yes, but they're quite small you don't want those." Tenten looked up wondering why this lady was not selling her the earrings like she had expected.

"Your more symbolic. You only like to wear something if it has significance." She said leaning in close to Tenten she said it as a statement not a question. Tenten could not lie and nodded her head looking the mysterious old lady in the eyes, who just chuckled and sat back down.

"Do you have a young man?" Tenten just shook her head, her words were few right now as she was trying to figure the woman out. Her mind quickly raced back to Neji who she had forgotten that they had parted yet again with an awkward goodbye. Again the woman seemed to know what went through her mind.

"Don't worry hun you'll get him, your beautiful, and I can tell you have a kind spirit." Tenten smiled at the woman.

"Thank you very much." The woman smiled back and nodded her head. Tenten left the booth shortly after that. She kept wandering around not really paying attention to her surroundings mostly thinking about how she left Neji again, and watching young couples with a kind of sorrow and desire she had.

She had bumped into someone who was significantly taller then her and more muscly by far she looked up to apologize but stopped short. The man was looking down at her beaming with satisfaction and his tanned skin shone against the sun her mind flickered for a second on how handsome he was but then she caught that immediate creepy feeling.

"Hey toots, I didn't know you went out in the daytime, do you work at these hours too?" Tenten's heart froze and she remembered the frisky man that pulled her aside after Joshi's assassination.

"I'm sorry sir I don't know what you're talking about." He chuckled, and pulled her to him, she didn't fight, it was pointless.

"Sure you don't, but I'd know those sexy chocolate anywhere." He reached up and stroked the side of her face which she moved away from his rough hands. Her insides were burning, and squirming to just rip his throat out. She slid out of his arms and tried to look indifferent.

"Sir you are mistaken I don't know you now I have to go." She didn't hear his dirty response, just fled into the crowd as fast as possible trying to get away from the man who had made his own promise to get her. She started sprinting to her safe haven, if she could make it there she'd feel better. Her weapons were there, she cursed for not bringing at least one kunai.

It was now three hours later and the sun was starting to set, Tenten was still shuddering in thought of that nasty man. She looked at herself in the mirror, her hair was down and curly she was wearing a dark blue dress this time both sides had huge slits up the side so it was basically the whole part sides of her thighs were exposed, damn Ino and her smutty ways. Her eyes had a massive amount of make-up on them, Tenten studied herself in the mirror a little longer, hoping, that she would not see that man there. Maybe he had given up. Then her mind went to how he even found her and she held her breath wondering if he knew she was a ninja from Konoha. Then blew away the idea, there's no way possible she was always careful not to be followed. She took a deep breath and headed out the door, maybe tonight would finally be the freaking time to actually kill her target and then she could go home and make up with Neji already.

She walked into the bar, and he came over quickly placing his hand on her butt, she smiled seductively up at him, she had caught her prey and she couldn't be more ready. They had proceeded along with the usual drinks laughing , and then making out, but tonight he wanted to finally get her. Tenten once again pushed away her growling interior so as not to be caught.

He didn't even take her anywhere, he just pulled her into the men's bathroom telling everyone else to get out, he pushed her up against the wall forcefully and proceeded, to run his hands up her bare thighs, she threatened to hurt herself if she didn't calm down her urge to kill, she worked herself to get here, and she was finishing right. She slid her leg up his and wrapped it around his waist he eagerly wrapped his arm, around it and started to kiss her neck. She leaned her head back and pretended to moan, all the while pulling a poisoned senbon needle out of the seam of her dress, and was ready to stab it in the side of his neck. His hand shot out and grabbed her throat harshly, he squeezed the air right out of her lungs. His eyes were full of anger and lust. He smirked evilly, and kissed her neck in a soft way, but not loving, no, never loving.

"You thought you'd catch me off, guard didn't you?" Tenten struggled with the hands at her neck, glowing spots appearing in her vision.

"DIDN'T YOU!!!" He bellowed in her face, and she managed a short nod, he smirked and kissed her chin.

"Now, I am going to get what I want from you and then I'm going to kill you." The growling insides of Tenten were livid, and Tenten had started to let her hatred and anger flow out into her mind. Pulling a well concealed kunai from one of her thighs she quickly brought it up and slashed the man on the wrist, causing him to stumble backwards and let go of her. Tenten slid to the floor, gasping for breath as he held his bleeding wrist, she had hit an artery.

"You bitch." He seethed through his teeth at her and Tenten stood her eyes burning with fire and hatred. She pulled out a small scroll from her dress and summoned a katana, she held it ready for anything, she was in charge now. She leaped gracefully into the air and came down right in front of him, he backed into a stall and sat on the pot with wide eyes, his skin pale from losing so much blood. She almost pitied him, but right now her defensive mechanism was ruling her and it was going to kill, taking the katana she swung it lightly through the air and rammed it right through his chest. His eyes grew incredibly wide for a second and he jumped but then, he just slumped onto the toilet seat. His eyes closed. Tenten pulled out the sword and got rid of it. She took one last look at her victim.

"You'll never do that to a woman again, be she pure or not." With that she walked out of the bathroom, and she left bar without a glance back.

Tenten couldn't go to bed that night, her mind was reeling, about her target and Neji. Her target, now that she wasn't in her mission/defensive mode her `whole body seemed to be revolted that she could do that, she retched in the bathroom for half an hour, and looked at herself in the mirror with disgust. Her heart squirmed when she thought of Neji, what would he think when she eventually told him about this? His disapproval ate at her, she shouldn't let it, but it did. She lost it, she let into herself a little too much, the way she acted back there was irrational. She sighed and decided that at dawn she would leave.

Tenten didn't need to wake up because she didn't sleep so she checked out and headed home as fast as she could. Her mind was racing, just as were her legs, she ran up to her house, and threw her stuff in her house grabbing only her necessary weapons. She ran along the dirt paths to their usual training area, when she got there a small smile formed on her lips to see that she was right. Even though she wasn't there Neji was training alone. She walked up slowly and he saw straightening out of his stance.

"Tenten." He said while unwrapping the bandages from his hands and walking over to his bag. She nodded at him.

"Neji, are you training?" He nodded and proceeded to fiddle with stuff in his bag.

"Can I join you." He stopped for half a second, and then stood up with his bag slung over his arm.

"No I'm leaving now." Tenten glared at him and he looked impassively back at her tired face.

"I want to train Neji, why are you denying that from me?" Tenten said closing her eyes and clenching her jaw, really trying not to yell.

"Because I don't want to." He started to walk away when Tenten pulled out a kunai, and flung it right to where his foot was about to be, he stopped and looked back at her. Eyes still closed Tenten was raging now.

"Do not walk away when I'm talking to you." she had another kunai in her hand, ready to throw if need be. Neji turned towards her.

"Ok what do you need to say." Tenten's eyes shot open, her eyes burning towards the young Hyuuga in front of her.

"Stop, treating me like I'm not worth your time." Neji looked at her.

"You're the one going on your missions." Tenten twirled the kunai in her hand dangerously.

"That's your excuse? You didn't even say goodbye to me when I left, you would not train with me when I got back from my mission, I wanted to train to be able to get better, but you didn't even want to be around me. That's why I got more missions when you can't train might as well do the real thing right? " Tenten was not yelling she was stating the facts, and her eyes were starting to fog up, she looked away from him.

"Tenten I-" He had started to walk towards her stretching out a hand, worried seeing tears in her eyes, but she backed up.

"No it's ok, I don't need to know your excuse for lack of decency, if you'll excuse me I have another mission to get to." She ran off faster then she meant to, leaving Neji standing there all arrogance, pride, and strength gone from his body at the words the kunoichi said.

Tsunade did not ask when Tenten came into the office and immediately got her next assassination but wondered at the cloudiness of the bun-haired girls eyes.
