A/N: New chapter up! YAY! I feel like playing a game with all of you, look at the bottom for more details, okay?

Thanks for all the reviews, hits, and especially the C2 add! I love to read other people's stories, and it so much easier for me to get them from the C2s.

Disclaimed: You know the drill. No songs, albums, or characters are mine.

Neji's voice rang louder in my head as I felt the warm sunlight hit my face.

"I worked so hard for this, and now it's come true. It's like a dream to me."

I didn't want to wake up, but it's rude not to be awake when someone's talking to you. Unless of course, you're in a coma. Then you have an excuse.

"Neji, please shut up." I rolled over onto my side and cracked an eyelid, only to see one of the most surprised Neji faces ever.

"T-T-Tenten?" All he could do was stare at me like I was a freak. I just looked at him with a blank look on my face. "Y-You're awake..."

I resisted the urge to slap myself in the forehead. I had almost forgotten that Neji didn't know I had woken up. I shut my eyes and opened my mouth to speak, only to be stopped by something that shocked me.

Neji. Hyuuga. Was. Hugging. Me. Me, as in no-last-name-Tenten. Me, as in the girl that he had never noticed as anything but some kid who threw pointy objects at people's heads to kill them.

"So... What's the story, morning glory?" I asked as he backed away. I was smiling brightly at him.

"Why didn't the hospital alert us to your status?" he asked, ignoring my question.

"I asked them not to," I responded, looking out the window. I chose to ignore his all seeing white eyes for the moment.

"Why?" It didn't matter; I could feel them boring into the back of my head. I sighed. Did I really feel like telling Neji why I had asked Tsunade-sama not to tell anyone?

"I wanted to see if anyone would recognize me. And, before you ask, no, they didn't." I turned to him and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Well, you obviously didn't come to see me or Lee." In one quick motion, I swept my hair into a ponytail. His eyes grew large as he remembered. "That was... you?"

"Yeah. Thanks for remembering me, Neji." I shot him a sarcastic smile, and told him to get out. He looked at me with hurt eyes, which made my heart beat painfully, and left. The depression I thought I had left last night came back. No matter what I did, I couldn't shake it. You know that feeling you get when you're chronically sick? You think you're better, but then it comes back? It feels like... like... A fever you can't sweat out.

Yeah, that was it.

About an hour later, Tsunade-sama can in to check on me. I was curled up with my knees hugged to my chest, staring out the window.

Konoha stilled looked sunny and happy. It should be a crime to be sunny and happy when a resident is depressed or sad.

But then again, it would be rainy and stormy all the time if that happened, and then I would complain that it should be a crime that Konoha be dreary when I was happy. If I ever felt happy again, that is.

The tears had stopped coming, but I still felt terrible. Why had I done that? I liked Neji so much! He was my best friend, and I pushed him away. All because he didn't realize that I was a walking miracle yesterday. I turned to face her.

"Tenten, we've decided that it's okay to release you today. Your health is perfect, you've woken up again, and everything is fine." Her amber eyes met my chocolate ones. I nodded dully, and she handed me a key. "It's keys to your new apartment. We've had everything in storage, and now it's been moved in." My eyes widened slightly.

"What happened to my parents house?"

Tsunade looked down, and I knew that something bad had happened. She didn't look at me as she spoke. "We... we sold it. Since you had been out for over six months, which is when we start doing these things, we sold it to a newlywed couple. I'm sorry," she mumbled as an after thought.

I didn't say a word. It was the custom to sell a shinobi's place if they were considered a long term patient. I silently got dressed after Tsunade left, pulling out all the meager possessions I had in the room. I went to the dor, pulled it open, and left. I was yet again alone in this world, heading to a new apartment I couldn't even call home. The only person that I felt I could talk to was Naruto, mostly because he had recognized me and saved me from embarrassment.

And Naruto was too busy being the hero to talk to me.

I followed the handwritten directions Tsunade had given me. I ended up at an apartment complex that many ninja used, and I found the way to my room. I slipped in the key, and found all my things bunched up in the front hallway. Great... I had to unpack, too. I shut the door, and plopped down on the ground. I was stuck in a place that was nothing like home should be.

Two hours later, after much chakra usage and pure agonizing, I had the major furniture arranged how I wanted it. The other stuff would have to wait for later; I was famished. I pulled my hair up into their buns, and tied my headband in place. It felt refreshing to be dressed up in my shinobi outfit again.

I stepped put of my door, and walked down the steps. I bumped into someone, and heard a familiar voice mumble the response.

"Kiba?" I looked up to see Kiba, Ino, Hinata, and Chouji.

"Tenten?" Kiba sputtered, looking at me like I was a zombie. Am I that frightening?

"Am I? Or am I someone else?" I raised an eyebrow, waiting to see what they'd say.

Ino looked me over, and exchanged looks with everyone.

"We have the facts, and we're voting yes." I smiled at their response.

"It feels so nice to have people to remember me." Hinata smiled, and Ino gave me a hug. Kiba smirked, and Chouji gave me a thumbs up.

"We could never forget you, Tenten!" Ino was smothering me. I was about to say something when Hinata pulled her off of me. I just nodded my thanks.

Kiba was nice enough to treat me for lunch, and then Ino insisted that we go shopping for new outfits.

"A girl can never have too many clothes," she insisted. I wondered if that was true for her, as I had only seen her in two outfits. Kiba and Chouji decided not to go with us, so it was just Hinata, Ino, and I.

I don't think I've ever been so bombarded with clothes in my life. Ino bought me exactly ten outfits, because she thought it went so well with my name.

When asked why she was buying all these clothes, she just laughed. "Buying clothes is my way... How to save a life," she said, and then frowned when I asked her why she really did it. "Actually," she admitted, "I could tell you were depressed, and shopping always helped me."

I guess it did help me. I got to have fun with Ino and Hinata, both of whom had changed so much in one year. I ended the shopping tripe with some relly cute outfits that fit nicely. Ino had also bought me some accessories, shoes, and underwear. Hinata was there to make sure that it looked good on me, as Ino was sometimes unreliable. I forgot about Neji, about the coma, and I enjoyed myself. It was nice, and I wished the shopping would never end. I was bummed out when it did, but I accepted it, and took the bags from Ino.

When I finally got home at about nine o'clock, I was beat. The bed was looking really nice right about now. It had been... A hard days night.

I changed into the pajama's Tsunade had given me, and lay in my bed. I stared at the ceiling, willing sleep to come over me. It had been an insanely tiring day, and I knew I needed it.

Too bad I wasn't able to sleep. Darn it, I had started something new after being asleep for so long. I was now a certified non-sleeper, in my own mind. An Insomniac.

I pulled out my MP3 player, hapily listening to the soothing music I used to live on.

Now I will tell you what I've done for you... Evanessance blared into my ears. I quickly turned down the volume, and switched the song. I wasn't the soothing music I was looking for.

'The I.V. and your hospital bed, this was no accident, this was a therapeutic chain of events.' Ah, Camisado. What can I say, I have an unhealthy obsession with Panic! At the Disco. 'Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid, sit back, relax, sit back, relapse again.'

My eyes slowly shut. Looking back on the day as I turned my MP3 player off, I knew that I had made Neji feel bad. What a terrible thing to do, no? I guess I should have done it. It's so easy to say that you will, but in reality, it's hard to. To Listen to you heart, I mean.

I took out the earbuds, and slipped them onto the nightstand I had moved there earlier today. I struggled to stay awake so I could continue to think, but it was hard.

Sleep over took me. I had to Give up. Sleep was a powerful foe.

I saw a girl yesterday that looked a lot like you, Tenten. I wanted it to be you. So badly. If you were here, I could feel complete again...

It was Neji's voice. In the few seconds before I feel asleep, I realized that he had recognized me. And it made my heart ache.

I knew who left the rose I had taken and placed on my nightstand.

I wanted him to be next to me, to give him a hug, to tell him I'm sorry.

"I love you, Neji Hyuuga," I whispered in my sleep.

I'll write a one-shot with a couple of your choice, dedicated in your honor. Doesn't sound like much, but since I suck at computer drawing, I thought this would be the best prize. If you can find all eight, then I'll even make it a chapter story. Sounds great, no?
