Neji's office

Haku looked at her worriedly as Kankuro began to curse and Neji to frown.

Tenten tried to restrain her killer's pulsations. It was the mark of his technique on the chest of the man. He was the only one to use it since he invented it. Of course, it was a forbidden technique. But why did he use it on this man? It had been a while since she had seen it.

"Mother! What is that? Is that a new mark for our techniques?

Mother! Are you alright!? ANSWER ME MOTHER! MOTHER!"

The world became dizzy around her. The dead body was still in front of her. Blood was not flowing on the desk from the several cuts he had all over his body. His expression tore in a painful, shock and maybe surprised way was fixing her with empty holes. She took her head between her hands. 'Stop it damn it! STOP IT!'

"Sisters! Mother is not well! Sisters?

Why are you all on the floor? Why is there blood on the wall? SISTERS!"

The sound of the kunai dropped on the floor seemed to be too far away. Everything became black as she lost contact with the reality.

With his quick reflexes, Neji caught her before she could touch the floor but Haku and Kankuro plunged too to catch her. They bumped their heads together and The King looked at them coldly. 'Idiots...' They rubbed their heads cursing lightly. Haku stood up soon followed by Kankuro to save the little pride they still had after the accident. The two men cleard their throat while the King simply rolled his eyes.

"I said it. A Lady doesn't need to see that." Kankuro stated arms crossed.

"Hn."

Lord Hyuuga sat down on his seat Tenten on his laps her head against his shoulder.

"Continue your story, Haku."

He nodded still watching the woman. He would not bear the pain to lose her a second time. The first time, Tenten had run away Konoha without an explication. She had vanished cold turkey. Now, his protector could understand why… Her past was her enemy. Haku cursed under his breath. How this man could still be able to affect her like that. The truth was that the young heiress would never find the peace until he died under her own sword. He knew it and her too.

"Like I said my father had been killed this way but he had still his eyes… However, you see this mark on his chest? It's a forbidden seal jutsu. His soul had been sealed in his own body. Each time the man who did that cut him or worse this young man would feel the pain in his soul and in his body. It's the worse torture ever. Only a pinch can drive you insane."

"It's disgusting…"

"Yeah… and the man tortures him until he is satisfied or until the brain or the heart explode. This jutsu preserves the victim from the death but as I said sometimes the pain is unbearable for the organs so they explode killing the victim in the process. It's the most horrible way to die. This man is dead because the circle is black but when there is a white point in the middle the victim is still alive…"

"I won't be able to sleep." Kankuro growled.

He put his hands on his pockets and exited the room. Even with Orichimaru, he hadn't seen something like that.

Haku bowed and walked towards the door biting his below lip. Tenten didn't deserve to hear and to see again what he was capable of.

The King looked at the pale complexion of the woman against his chest.

"Haku?"

The young man stopped on the threshold of the door looking at the King from above his shoulder.

"Why did she react this way?"

Haku's face darkened.

"She had seen a lot of thing in her life, My Lord, and like it wasn't enough, she had found the body of my father. After that, My Lady ran away from the Mizu family unable to bear the pain. One day, she will tell you if she trust you."

With a final bow, he disappeared leaving Tenten and Neji alone. All he had said was true. After running away from her homeland she had lived in the Lighting Country adopted by an aristocrats' family named Mizu. One day, she had found the cadaver of her mother's protector on the edge of a river relying Konoha and her new country. Zabuza was dead. He must have searched for the responsible of the massacre to avenge Tayuga. He had found his man but he had been killed. Tenten had sent the body to Konoha with a letter to Haku. It was the only news he had received for years. He tried to find her in the Lighting Country but she had run away again.

Neji picked her bridal style and walked to her room. A maid opened the door for him smirking. He rolled his eyes and closed the door with his foot at the nose of the maid. Some of them were just too much curious or just too much intrusive in other ones life.

Neji wanted to put her on her smooth comfortable bed but she gripped her robs not wanting to let him go. He gritted his teeth cursing. He tried to remove her hands from his honorific rob but her grasp tighter as she buried her face on the cocked of his neck. He froze.

"Have you any idea of what you are doing to me, woman?"

He had the control of the most of his emotions but not of his hormones, damn it! He tried to remove her hands for the last time. Tenten sneaked her arms around his neck assuring her a better hold. He closed his eyes trying to forget her body against his and her intoxicating scent of strawberries.

"Fine you win but you better don't kill me in the morning…" He groaned collapsing against the bed with her on top.

FLASHBACK

A little girl was crying her knees brought to her chest and her head resting on top of them. A man with long dark hair looked down at her.

"We don't have any choice but to…"

"I don't care! I don't want to do it anymore!"

She sobbed even more.

"It the last one, Tenten. Besides, it's your mother. You have to perform the jutsu once more to free her soul or she will continue to live in this body without being able to walk, to talk and even to think."

The little girl let out a yelped of pain.

"I want my mom! Why?!? Why I am the only one left?"

She shook her head as more tears began to fall on her cheeks. The man kneed in front of her.

"I know it's painful but you are the only one still alive with their blood, which means the only one able to free them. It's the last time, Tenten. Be strong."

"Lord Hiaishi, all is settled. We can proceed."

The man nodded shortly turning back his attention to the survivor.

"Let's go Tenten. Your mother doesn't deserve this pain. You have to free her soul…"

The girl wiped her tears sniffing with her sleeve. The man held up his hand which she took leading her towards the dark room. A big circle with the symbol of the Ying and the Yang in the middle was thronging in the center of the room. Lord Uzumaki, Lord Nara and Lord Aburame were sitting in each of the cardinals points. Lord Hyuuga took place on the North place in front of Shibi(1) Aburame. The little girl stepped in the circle and the 4 leaders of the clan joined their hands together top build up their chakras.

Tenten kneed in front of the body gulping and trying not to look at her mother. She bit her thumb and began to draw some symbols around the black mark. She closed her eyes crying and began to build up her chakra. She nodded shortly and the 4 leaders began to do some hands signs. Tenten made different hands signs.

"Soul's Torture Divination!"

They clapped back their hands together as the colour of their chakra appeared around them.

Tenten sobbed even more and drew a last sign on her mother's forehead. She joined her hands together.

"Unseal!"

A green chakra appeared around Tayuga as she coughed blood.

"Bye, Tennie."

Her head fell on the left.

Tenten cried on the outfit of her mother full of dry blood incapable of letting her body go.

"MOTHER COME BACK! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! MOTHER!"

The leader of the Nara clan pulled her back by the waist. Lord Hiaishi picked Tayuga up bridal style and walked out of the room.

"MOTHER! PLEASE!"

Lord Aburame tried to calm her down but the child continued to cry until Lord Uzumaki injected a sleeping solution through her veins. Lord Hiaishi came back later nodding satisfy at the now asleep child. It had been a while since she lasted had a good night of sleep.

"What will happen to her, Hiaishi?"

"I don't know… She will live with Haku, her protector, until the council decides what she will become."

"My clan can take her. I owned a lot to Tayuga." Lord Uzumaki stated.

"We all owned a lot to her. I can't believe that somebody did that. I mean to massacre a whole clan that way… Even Itachi Uchiha didn't do that much… All tortured in the most horrible way. I can't believe that it's the end of the Deadly Weapons. We need to rank new ANBU. We had lost 76 percent of our ANBU in only one night."

"Yes… List me your best men. They will all become ANBU."

"This is troublesome, Hiaishi."

"We know that work is troublesome for you, man, but it not the moment to laugh about it."

"I wasn't talking about that. If a man wanted that bad to torture every single Jurinai I don't want to know what he will do if he learn that one of them is still alive. I bet that he would do whatever to kill the child. That is more troublesome than work, my friends."

"I will take the child at the moment the elders will sign the papers. This man is not crazy enough to attack the Hyuuga clan."

"True…"

"Alright, but the Uzumaki clan will always welcome Lady Tenten Jurinai heiress and now on leader of the Jurinai clan.

END OF FLASHBACK

Tenten's room

Neji woke up in the middle of the night because he felt something wet down his shirt. Tenten was sobbing against his chest like no tomorrow.

"Tenten?"

He took her chin like that he could face her. He realised she was still asleep. His face softened and he wiped her tears with his hand. The King was tempted to undo her buns but he was already sleeping with her. He was already in trouble anyway. But God why the hell did she even sleep with these panda-buns? He let out a small laugh caressing her cheeks. He froze. Neji Hyuuga had laughed. Lord Hyuuga was sleeping with a woman in his arms. The King of the Fire Country was enjoying it.

"Man, I'm growing soft…"

The Weapons Mistress was now sleeping peacefully against his chest. He could hear the soft and soothing sound of her breath. He kissed her forehead swearing mentally that he would never tell her even on his deathbed. He closed his eyes falling soon asleep.

Wind Country, Gushij castle

Another vase was thrown on the wall bursting in a thousand pieces of glass. The maids were shaking silently praying to not receive any object over the head. Lady Amaya was dangerous. This brat seemed to totally ignore the word 'no' but Lord Hyuuga had to say 'No, I don't want to marry you.' The women cursed under their breath. If only he had stopped there. No, he had to add 'I already have someone.' She had cursed for days as she exited the castle. She thought that he needed sometimes to accept the fact that they were bonded to be together. But now, they received a message from the council to state that another woman was his bride and that they were deeply sorry.

"I WANT THE NAME OF THIS SLUT!"

The maids signed. She really was hopeless. If the King loved her be it but Amaya wasn't the type of woman to give anything even less a boy. She said that she was in deep love with Neji but everybody knows it was only because he was hot. She didn't know the King. She just daydreamed about his awesome face, that's it. Many people said that she had time and men to forget about that since she had done it before but it was a different case. A woman had won over her. It was unacceptable. She had to kill the bitch! A man entered the room and she seemed to calm down a little. His uncle smirked at the pieces of glass on the floor.

"Uncle, it's not fair! A bitch will become the new Queen and the wife of Neji! I want her head!"

His smirk grew wider. His only niece didn't know he wanted to kill Neji Hyuuga to have the Fire Country. After, he would have to eliminate her of course since she has been in the way. Some says he has no shame but power is power and whatever stands on its way is useless and deserves to be thrown away.

"Well, well, my niece. I talked to the elders and they accepted to let you fight her over Lord Hyuuga. Aren't you happy? You will have the chance to show her the place where she belongs. After, you will send her over here. I don't want to let alive the woman who broke the heart of my dear niece."

The redhead woman smiled brightly.

"Oh thanks Uncle! I will beat her!"

She jumped up and down and walked out of the room saying something about telling the news to all her friends. He laughed thinking about how stupid and gullible his dear niece seemed to be. Like he cared if the woman who stole her dear Neji from her was alive or dead. He just wanted to have the heiress of the Jurinai. However, Lord Hyuuga can't love and My Lady can't get over her past. It's simply impossible they ended up together it must be a kind of trap or misunderstood. Again, like he cared! He just wished to kill her.

"No, Amaya, thank you to bring her to me."
