Chapter 2:

'…Neji?' Tenten fell and hit her head against the ground. 'Everything is whirling…' Tenten's sight was getting distorted, eventually she couldn't see anything altogether.

"Who are you!?" Neji demanded as he got up. Then he looked down and noticed that Tenten wasn't moving. He quickly got down.

"Tenten!?"

'It worked.' Kabuto thought looking at his hand. Neji turned to Kabuto.

"What did you do to her?"

"…Nothing serious. I just unlocked a couple of her memories." Kabuto replied.


'Where am I?' Tenten thought as she looked around. It was like she was surrounded in fog. She squinted her eyes. The fog was clearing. 'This place is familiar.' Tenten thought as she found herself in a room.

Suddenly, the door burst open and a young Tenten ran out screaming. She looked back worried. Tenten (the older one) looked in the same direction. A chill was sent down her spine. She saw the same guy who had attacked Sasuke was attacking Tenten's Father.

"Run Tenten!" Her Father shouted. A young Tenten gulped and ran out the door. Tenten, too scared to stay followed her younger self.

They ran for quite a while. Tenten was getting really tired but she didn't care. 'Is this from my past? Why didn't I remember it?' She stopped when her younger self tripped near the Hyuuga complex. Tenten looked up and saw a young boy standing at the entrance. He looked at her younger self a bit surprised. Her younger self sat up and started to cry. The boy noticed and walked over to her.

"What's wrong?" He asked, but more demanded.

"…My Daddy…he's been attacked." Tenten said rubbing her eyes.

"By who?" He asked calmly.

"I dunno, something that's not human." Tenten said.

"Follow me." The boy said walking into the complex. Tenten hesitated a little but followed. As did older Tenten. They walked into a building where an old man, Hyuuga Hiashi was sitting.

"Neji?" He asked.

'Neji!!!!' Tenten thought. (The older one people.)

"Yes, her father was attacked by something that wasn't human. I had the feeling you would know." Neji said pointing at Tenten who bowed.

Hiashi looked a little angry. "…Thank you for letting me know." Hiashi said and got up. He sighed a little. He glanced at Tenten. "You should stay with us for now. Neji, let her stay with you please." Hiashi said and walked out of the room.

"Um…Hyuuga-kun, what's going to happen?" She asked.

"You're going to stay with me until everything's safe." Neji said. "You've been here before right?" He said.

"Yeah, my Mom brings me with her over here sometimes." Tenten replied. They started to walk over to Neji's room. "Will Daddy be okay?" Tenten asked wanting to be sure she could trust the family that her mother was connected to.

"I don't know, our family has it's limits too you know." Neji said opening the door. Tenten entered and looked around. (The older one did as well.) It was a simple room. Very plain, most of the room was gray or white.

'Kind of like a hospital.' Tenten thought.

So for a long while, Tenten talked to the boy she called Hyuuga-kun. The older Tenten's memories were coming back slowly as she watched these scenes. When night came, Hyuuga-kun and Tenten went out to look at the stars.

"That's Pieces." Hyuuga-kun said pointing up at the sky.

"I'm a Pieces!" Tenten said happily looking up at the sky. "Hyuuga-kun, that man hasn't come back yet." Tenten said looking toward the entrance worried.

"...!" Hyuuga-kun remembered something. "Here." Hyuuga-kun said passing her a knife that looked like the one that Tenten had gotten last Christmas. Tenten took it, examined it a little before throwing it at a knot hole and getting a perfect bullseye.

'Thought so.' Hyuuga-kun thought.

"You know, my Mom said that all the stars up there represent all the happy things." Tenten said smiling.

"...I like you a lot Tenten." Hyuuga-kun said blushing a little.

'Eh...?' The older Tenten thought.

"I do too!" Tenten said smiling.

"Then why don't we promise to see each other again?" He asked.

"I would love to!" Tenten said.

'I probably just meant that in a childish meaning. Like when you're little and you say you want to marry your brother or somthing.' Tenten thought.

"Promise..."

"Promise!" The two linked pinkies as the fog suddenly returned again.


'Tenten!" Tenten rubbed her eyes as she woke up. She saw Neji's face over hers looking very worried. She slowly got up.

"...I'm okay Hyuuga-kun."

"!"


Natume-kun's Space

Whew, sorry if you didn't like it, I thought it over a long time though. If you're thinking, where's Kabuto!? I didn't say he's gone so don't worry. Oh god, this keeps going in the FIGHTING direction. I'm commiting suicide pretty much.

This isn't all of it, but that's pretty much all the important stuff. I can't believe Sakura is just standing there right now.

Oh yeah, I opened a Livejournal account as HiguraNatume if you want to read my journal.

This is dedicated to Kunnoichi Hyuuga Tenten who has always encouraged me through everything. And I know she loves Nejiten. (Yay! My second dedication I've ever done!)

Okay, please review for two VERY GOOD reasons:

1. It'll give Tobi even more stars to prove that he can get stars even after he graduates. (He has 3 stars this year!)

2. It'll motivate me to write. (But flames have the opposite effect okay?)

I think after this I'll write my sister's highschool fic. (Since she'll kill me if i don't!)

My sister's name is Haruno Yura-yura. (You see, we have different fathers...just kidding. We aren't half sisters. She just doesn't like my last name because it's too awesome for her.)

Bye!

Natume
