I hope you will enjoy it!

Please leave me a little review!

-puppy eyes-

LoL

Anyway, Enjoy!

Tenten froze in her spot looking down at the man she had pinned down. Her foot was on Lord Inuzuka's face. She had made him kiss the ground. She had wounded a Lord. Why does God hate her guts that bad?!

'Shit…'

'What do you mean by 'shit'? This idiot attacked you!!'

'He's still a Lord and Neji will kill me if he knows I made him kiss the ground. Damn…'

She let him go and helped him up apologizing non-stop. 'Why am I always in trouble, hun? Where did I go wrong?' To her surprise, Kiba laughed rubbing his muddy cheek and taking out the leaves from his hair. Tenten stared at him wide eyes. 'Did I hit him that hard?'

"You don't need to apologize, Tennie, I'm fine and besides you had already done worse to me…"

Her eyes grew wider looking at him like he was crazy. 'The hell? What did he just call me?'

"Hum… My Lord, what the hell are you talking about? And why did you call me Tennie?"

He stopped laughing and titled his head to 'examine' her closely. 'These hazel eyes… Her features… She's like Lady Tayuga. She's like her mother… It can't be an error! She's the only person to talk like that to a man! I'm sure it's her! But why doesn't she recognize me?!'

"You don't recognize me?" He asked slowly looking in her eyes.

She looked at him strangely describing every single feature he possessed. She shook her head. 'I had never seen him before! I'm certain of it. I'm not the type of persons to forget someone…'

"No… Why? I should?"

"We were best-friends when you lived in Konoha! Don't you remember, now!"

She shook slowly her head.

"I'm sorry, My Lord, but I have never lived in Konoha. I am from the Mizu family in the Lighting Country. You must have mistaken me with someone else."

She stood up and walked away from him. Kiba looked at his hands not certain of how to react. She had disappeared along with all her clan and now she was right in front of him denying the past and the relationship they had shared. It hurt to know that his best-friend didn't remember him. His dog approached him and his master stroked his fur frowning slightly.

FLASHBACK

Kiba ran towards the Jurinai's gates. His mother smiled. Her son will finally stop to pout for hours now that he was friend with Tayuga's daughter. However, Tsume grabbed his collar to prevent him from going any further.

"Mom! Let me go!"

"Kiba, I know you are excited about your new friend but at least say 'hello' to Lady Tayuga. I thought I showed you some respects!"

He rolled his eyes, following his mother. Well, she obliged him to follow because of her grip on his collar.

Lady Tayuga was in training ground watching her daughter and Haku fighting with taijutsu. She turned around smiling at them.

"Hey, Tsume! How are you? Kiba, I'm sorry but Tenten is…"

"Kiba! I have a new move! Wanna try it?!"

The leader of the Jurinai clan turned around glancing at her daughter.

"Honey, you are practicing with Haku…"

"But… You are the one to say that I never treat the guests kindly. I wasn't going to let Kiba alone!"

Haku stepped in smiling reassuringly at the mother.

"My Lady, I don't mind at all. However, Lady Tenten can practice her new move with Kiba under my supervisory control…"

Lady Tayuga nodded slightly.

"But Tenten I want you to promise me you won't use the Hiruski style on Kiba or…"

She smirked down at her daughter who tried not to flinch at the evil glint in her eyes.

"… I will take all of your weapons for 1 week and you will be the one to watch the dishes for 2 weeks."

The little girl widened eyes and Kiba grimaced. Washing the dishes… It was the worse punishment ever. His mother always used it as her best weapon against him when he's teasing over and over his sister and when Hana is screaming over and over horrified.

"Hai, Mother!"

He grabbed Kiba's hand and ran in the middle of the training ground.

"Haku I'm counting on you. Watch them carefully and please make sure nobody gets hurt."

"Hai, My Lady but Lady Tenten is no more the little girl who broke some kids' noses…"

"I know, Haku, I know but I don't want to lose my daughter and this kid is an Inuzuka. He had some tricks too. However, who said I was mad about that? These kids deserved it…"

She smirked at Tsume who smirked back. He bowed and the two women disappeared chatting and laughing together.

"Haku-sensei! Don't forget your promise to Mother. Watch us!"

He smiled turning around. This kid was defiantly Tayuga's daughter. From A to Z. She was the same as her. Lady Tayuga, sometimes, joked that her daughter doesn't have father.

The 2 children grinned at each before attacking with taijutsu. Haku sat down looking at the heirs. In fact, Kiba wasn't the heir of Lady Inuzuka but he was still the only son of a clan Leader even if he was younger than Hana.

"Twin Rising Dragons!"

The little boy looked up at the 2 dragons of smoke with Tenten in the middle sending him several kunais. He moved aside building up his chakra. His nails grew and his teeth became sharper. His speed increased and he dodged all of her weapons. She looked at him impressed by his speed and his jutsu. She smirked and moved her fingers looking at him. He cocked his brows wondering why the hell she was moving her fingers. Suddenly the kunais moved on their own pointing their sharp point towards him. She giggled at the look on his face.

"It's called chakra strings! I'm glad it works!"

He smiled at her and sat down besides her. She touched her shoulder slightly closing her eyes. He cocked his brows at her movement.

"What are you touching your shoulder? Are you hurt?"

She opened her eyes looking straight in his eyes.

"No… It hurts that's all…"

"So, you are wounded? But I didn't send you a kunai…"

She smiled at him reassuringly.

"It's because of My Mark. That's all… Don't worry!"

Akamaru jumped on her laps and she giggled along with Kiba.

END OF FLASHBACK

He smiled remembering the memory. He raised his head to watch her back.

"How's Your Mark, Tennie?"

She stopped walking resisting the urge to touch her left shoulder. How the hell did he know about it? Maybe they knew each other. Maybe these memories were part of the ones that she locked. She closed her eyes.

"When I said I don't remember, My Lord, it's because I have chosen not to remember… Please understand."

He gritted his teeth and stood up.

"What the hell, Tennie? Where have you been all this time, hun? Why did you disappear with all your clan leaving not even a note? I need to understand, Tennie! Tell me, damn it!"

She looked down at the ground.

"I'm sorry… I can't remember unless I unseal My Mark and that's the last thing I will ever do."

He stared in shock at her back.

"You have done what?! Why? Did you forget your mother? Your clan? Your sisters? Damn it Tenten what did you do?!"

"Lord Inuzuka! I have chosen not to remember because I wasn't able to sleep at night! It's better now that I have forgotten who I am! It was painful! Do you understand? Now if you would excuse me…"

She ran off without another word leaving him speechless behind.

"Tennie…"

45 kilometres from the Desert

The Sand Siblings, the Taijutsu user and the bugs' user stopped in a glade.

"Alright guys! We stop here for 5 hours. We will arrive in Suna a little after dawn."

The blond woman grinned putting her hands on her hips but everybody was already asleep snoring loudly (mostly Lee). She huffed and threw her bag on the ground taking out a pillow and a blanket from it.

Maybe, Temari had been a little too much demanding but the situation in Konoha was an emergency and she was certain that Lee, Shino and Kankuro understood her reasons. It was a S-rank mission after all. There was no way that she will arrive too late to save Konoha. Even if, Suna and Konoha used to be in war when she was little she had grown up to love this village. She was always bugging Gaara to no end to let her go in a mission there. All her friends were from there anyway; Hinata, Sakura (but now she was in Suna) and Ino.

Her group had traveled from Konoha to this glade in less than a day in their best ninja speed which was a true miracle. Usually, it would have taken at least 2 days but they had no time to have a full night of sleep.

Temari slept 2 hours before waking up. She had to make sure everything was alright and that her brother and his 'youthful' comrade will wake up someday. They were snoring loudly. In fact, it was their fault if she had woken up. Shino, well, she was unable to tell if he was alive and awake because of his sunglasses. His jacket was only showing his nose and his damned sunglasses. She didn't even know the colour of his hair! This guy was hopeless…

She sweat dropped and stood up yawning. She kindled a fire and prepared breakfast. At least, the scent of the food should awake the Green Beast of Konoha and if she was lucky the puppets master. To her surprise, Shino stood up and sat down besides her helping her with the food. The wind user bit her below lip not to yell a 'you are alive!?!?'. It wouldn't have been a very polite way to say 'good morning' but God this man seemed to be dead. It wasn't her fault!

Lee raised his head starving but his eyes were still shut. Temari widened eyes giggling lightly until the man jumped and ate all the food with a spoon.

"Lee, stop it!!! Kankuro needs to eat too!"

The man raised his head from the cooking pot smiling and licking his lips. Temari looked at him horrified as he plunged the spoon back in the food.

A vein popped on the woman's forehead. Shino stepped away a little while she touched the fan in her back. This time, she didn't do anything because Kankuro hit his head pretty hard. Lee flinched and fell to the ground.

"Damn… A little longer and I would have any food. Hmmm… It smells good!"

Lee rubbed his head and sniffed a little with teary eyes while Kankuro finished the food in a very loud way. Temari rolled her eyes so did Shino under his sunglasses of course.

"Come on! We had better get moving if we want to arrive in Suna before it's too late."

Lee jumped on his feet.

"Roger, ma'am!"

It seemed that he hadn't forgotten the way she had hit him with her gigantic fan. The puppets master nodded standing up and Shino, well, didn't react at all. They ran off with Temari at the head of her team.

A few hours later, they had traversed most of the Desert and the gates of the city were slowly appeared in front of them. The Sand siblings smiled at each other. 'Home sweet home…' They thought increasing their speed.

"We are almost there, guys!" She screamed behind her to cover up the sound of the wind which was blowing merciless the sand around them.

15 minutes later, they entered the gates of the city heading immediately towards Gaara's office. Without a second thought, Kankuro just broke down in his younger brother's office. Gaara raised slowly his head from the report he was reading.

"What the hell do you think…?"

Temari stepped in agitated and not giving a damn of his 'who the hell do you think you are?' speech.

"Gaara! Konohakagure is in big trouble! Neji asks your assistance. The Uzumaki's and the Inuzuka's compounds had been blown up. He's currently searching in the Cloud Country to investigate. It seemed that it is the culpable is clan of Torture users. He also asked us to investigate about the Gushij clan."

The Kazekage blinked once… twice before hitting the desk with his fists. It was his fault after all if the map had been stolen.

"I will go to assist Konoha along with Sakura and my 10 best men. Kankuro you will be in charge of Suna. I don't want to hear about something gone wrong or else… Temari, Lee, Shino, investigate as much as you want the Gushij castle but if you get caught I won't be able to do anything for you even if I am the Kazekage. They are independent from me. I can't change at all what they will decide to do of you so, make sure you don't get caught. Clear?"

They nodded as Gaara stood up facing them.

"Oh and I want you back in Konoha in 3 days. So, you will only have a day to find if the Gushij clan is the culpable. For their sake, I hope they aren't. Dismissed."

"Hai!"

Now, the red haired man just had to find a way to tell this his pink haired fiancée about Konoha's situation without eating her fists. He gulped and exited his office.

Cloud Country's Borders

Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru, Ino and Kiba had continued their advance after 6 hours of sleep. Kiba and Tenten hadn't talked to each other since their little conversation and nobody had suspected that they had even talked to each other. Kiba was just ignoring her lost in his own thoughts and Tenten was trying to forget what he had shouted.

Now, the 5 ninjas had finally reached the border of the Cloud country. Shikamaru let them study the map a few instant to be certain they would not get lost in the forest and met the Army. Then, they would be in deep troubles.

"We will reach the Huui's territory after a minute of ninja speed thanks to the chakra pills. We will be separate to confuse the Army. Each of us will be at 10 kilometres from each other. We will reach their territory from 10 to 15 seconds of difference each. Any question?"

"Hum… Did you really calculate all that Shika?"

He sweat dropped. 'Will they ever take me seriously even if I'm lazy? It's too troublesome to ask it anyway.' Tenten giggled and the boys rolled their eyes.

"Where do we start Shikamaru?"

Lord Nara signed. 'Man… I almost forget…' He took out the map again from his jounin vest pointing several points on it.

"Neji, completely at the West, you will the first to arrive in the Huui's territory so, you will make sure it will be safe for each of us. After, Kiba will arrive for back, in case something goes wrong. Next, Ino will arrive soon follow by Tenten. Finally, I will show up. Any question?"

"How will we know when to start running?" Tenten asked arms crossed.

Shikamaru put his bag down giving a radio at each of them.

"When you'll arrive in position you declare it immediately so, technically, Neji, you will be the last to arrive in your position but the first in the Huui's territory. You will give the signal when to take the chakra pills and when to run in the Cloud Country. Understand?"

"Hai!"

They ran off in their position except Shikamaru because he was already there.

"Shikamaru already in position."

He could have sworn that he heard someone said 'lazy-butt'.

"Ino in position."

"Tenten in position."

"Kiba in position."

"Neji in position."

The king took out his chakra pill that the Leader of the Nara clan gave him.

"Took the pill, now."

"Hai!" They chorused in the radio.

They swallowed the pill waiting for the King's order.

"Make sure you don't get caught because I don't have any time to negotiate your liberation. Got it?"

"Do you need to be so dramatic?"

"I'm serious, Tenten."

"Whatever…"

The King rolled his eyes.

"Get ready."

He verified a last time if he had everything in his bag because there is only one way to negotiate with every clan… The universal language all over the world! Money…

"GO!"

They ran off with an increased speed towards the Huui clan's territory. As planned Neji was the first to arrive. He took out a kunai looking around the area with his Byukugan for anybody. Kiba appeared besides him with a kunai. They didn't see, sense and smell anybody. Everything was calm around them. Ino appeared but they were still nobody of the Huui clan. Neji frowned slightly. Even with his Buykugan he couldn't perceive anybody. Shikamaru appeared besides him looking around.

"Where the hell is Tenten?"

"Maybe she had been caught."

"Impossible… The Army is supposed to arrive after 5 minutes at the border."

Suddenly, Tenten jumped in front of them frowning.

"Do you hear that?"

They looked at her like she was gone crazy.

"Hear what?"

"Where the hell were you, Tenten?"

"Exactly… I don't hear even a sound. There is supposed to be animals in here I don't sense any chakra so this must be a genjutsu…" The buns-head woman stated ignoring Neji's question.

"I will take care of that…" Ino smirked.

She did quick hands signs and the image around her lurched before disappearing completely.

The group gulped a little when they saw that they were surrounded by 45 men. Ino laughed sheepishly.

"I think it was better in the genjutsu."

I think I loved to finish my chapter in a drama way...

MWAHAHAHAHA! LOL!

I will update the next chapter tomorrow!

Good Night!
