TenTen's hero

Chapter 7: Forgotten Memories, Remembered.

Senryu: Yes! Neji remembers!

Shiirya: Yah, finally…

Flamedraseer7213: Yatta!

Kage: we do not own Naruto –pout-

Karen-sama: let's get this show on the road!

Neji groggily opened his eyes. A white ceiling stared back at him.

'I'm…at the hospital…?'

"How do you feel…?"

Neji turned his head to see Sakura and Naruto staring back at him.

"Are you ok? Hiashi and Hinata found you unconscious in your bedroom…"

Everything came back to Neji in a flash.

"TenTen…"

Naruto stared at Neji.

"What…?"

Neji shot himself up.

"What happened to TenTen…?!"

Neji grasped in pain. He clutched his bleeding arm and fell back into the pillow, defeated…

Sakura ran over to him.

"Neji! You have to be careful!"

Neji managed to open one eye in the midst of his pain.

"–Sigh- You broke your arm when you fell in your room, so try not to move it ok?"

Neji smiled and winced at the same time.

"I'm fine…What about TenTen…?"

Sakura slowly processed what he said…

'10…10? What…?'

"H-huh?"

Neji stared at her…

"You know TenTen… the girl who was on my team…"

Naruto walked over.

"There was never a girl on your team…"

Neji frowned

"What do you mean…? Remember TenTen…she faced Temari in the chunin exams…She was your friend Sakura! …How can you forget her? And Naruto…When we went to the curry of life shop, wasn't there a girl with us?"

Sakura gasped

"Ten…Ten? I-…I remember…but how…?"

Naruto thought about what Neji said and received nothing but a headache…

"You guys aren't making any sense…"

Sakura stared at Naruto straight in the face…

"Naruto! How can you not remember TenTen? She was the girl who was always with Neji!!!"

Neji blushed…

I-It was nothing like that…um…"

A picture of TenTen flashed through Naruto's mind.

"I remember her! I can't believe I forgot about TenTen…!"

Neji sighed…NOW he remembers…

Sakura clutched her head.

"Why couldn't we remember TenTen in the first place…?"

Neji was no idiot. He knew forgetting somebody in only half a year was not natural…"

"I wish I knew Sakura…We must have been under some kind of jutsu…"

Sakura looked up.

"You mean you don't know…?"

"No…"

Naruto grinned devilishly.

"You know what we do when we don't know right…?"

Neji and Sakura stared at the boy.

Naruto stared back.

"We go to Shikamaru!"

……………………….Naruto is so weird, anyways, At the Nara house……………………………

"Hoi, Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru turned and stared at the tree intruders.

"-Sigh- You guys could have just knocked instead of breaking in to my house."

Neji walked up to him, his arm conveniently healed by Sakura.

"We wanted to ask you about…"

"TenTen…?"

Sakura stared at him.

"Y-yeah…how did you…?"

"I told him about it…"

The three intruders looked toward the left side of the room to see Kiba (the real Kiba) lying against the wall.
Naruto was outraged.

"How did you of all people know about this before me?! Damnit, this is so unfair! I wanted to be the one to tell Shikamaru!! Argh!!!!"

Sakura sighed.

"Stop yelling Naruto…"

Kiba walked over to the trio.

"Actually I didn't know. Akamaru told me."

Akamaru, Mikomi, TonTon and Shinji walked (and flew) over to Shikamaru…

"Apparently…." Explained Shikamaru, pointing at Shinji. "This sparrow's name is Shinji, TenTen named him herself. He flew here from the Northern regions. If Akamaru is correct, then the bird says that TenTen is alive but is in trouble. In regard to why nobody remembered TenTen, whoever kidnapped TenTen put a memory genjutsu on all of Konoha to make it seem as though TenTen never existed in the first place…"

Sakura stared at the bird.

"Naruto… isn't that the bird from the hospital…?"

Naruto observed the bird.

"Hey, that is the sparrow…"

"H-hello everyone…"

Everyone turned to see Hinata standing in the doorway.

Naruto stared at her.

"Hinata…? Are you in on this too?"

"Hai…Shikamaru-kun told me…"

Shikamaru smiled.

"Well…isn't this a perfect little team we have here, right Ino…?"

Ino stuck her head from behind a wall.

"Um…hello everyone…-sweat drop-"

Sakura sighed

"Just what are you doing snooping around Shikamaru's house Ino…?"

"Doesn't matter, what does matter is that TenTen's in trouble and we are gonna be the ones to save her!"

Kiba sat down next to Sakura.

"Don't make decisions for the whole team…!"

"No, she's right Kiba…"

Kiba looked at Shikamaru

"We are probably the only people in Konoha that know about TenTen…If we don't save her than nobody will…"

Hinata smiled.

"S-so…it's settled then? We're going to save TenTen…?"

Akamaru barked at Kiba.

"Akamaru says that these four are coming as well…"

Shikamaru stood.

"Well Hinata, I guess it is settled. Four animals, four boys, and three girls…This is going to be one hell of a rescue team…"
