Part 20

"You finally came." The kidnapper said. "Let them go!" Neji demanded. On the man's left side, was Tenten, who was had her hands and legs tied, and the man's arm around her neck. Mizuki was on the man's right side, he was grabbing onto her hair, and she was tied. Both of them had alot of blood stains on their clothes.

"Why do you want them back? They're bothersome." The man said. "Neji! Go! He's going to fire the whole house down with us in it!" Mizuki yelled. The man yanked her hair even harder and said, "Shut up." He turned back to Neji and said, "Fine, I'll do you a favor. You are allowed to pick one of the two to leave with you."

Neji looked at Tenten, then Mizuki. "I'm getting both of them back." Neji said. The man laughed and said, "Why both? You know that you will stay confused if you have both of them back." Mizuki yelled, "PICK TENTEN AND LEAVE!" The man yanked her hair even more. "You're getting very annoying."

"Mizuki, we're not going to leave anywhere without you." Tenten said. Neji nodded. Mizuki said, "If Neji won't pick, then all of us is going to die!" Neji looked at the man and said, "I'm getting both of them back." The man laughed and said, "How? The three of your chakra's are gone. It'll be back in three days."

"NEJI! HURRY UP AND TAKE TENTEN!" Mizuki yelled. Tenten shook her head and said, "We're going to get out of here togethger." Mizuki tried to shake her head and said, "There's no other way, he has to pick you or all of us is going to die."

"I'm not picking neither of you two, both of you will come with me." Neji said, confidently. "JUST PICK TENTEN AND GO!" Mizuki yelled. Tenten shook her head and said, "Neji, pick Mizuki!" "Stop arguing with me, Tenten!" "You're the princess of Village of Cranes! You can't just die like this. You have a village to take care!"

"Okay, I'll pick one of them." Neji said softly. Mizuki and Tenten looked at him, and then looked at each other. The man smiled, "That's the way to do it." Neji looked at Tenten, then at Mizuki, and sighed.

-------------------------

Neji opened his eyes .. he was at a park, or a place with alot of trees. The girl he chosed was leaning on the tree, and he was laying on her lap. Neji sighed. "What's wrong?" That sweet voice said. Neji looked at her and smiled. "I'm thinking about that day." The girl sighed too and said, "I really regret what happened to her." Neji nodded. "It brings back so much memories." Said the girl. "It's been three years since that night."

The girl played with his hair, "We're already sixteen, and I still feel bad about everything." Neji looked at her and said, "I feel bad about everything." The girl placed her hand on his chest, and Neji grabbed it. "It's been awhile. No one seems to forgotten her." The girl said. Neji nodded. Both Neji and the girl closed their eyes and tried to remember what happened that night. Neji grabbed his pocket.

Flashback

"Neji! Just fuckin pick Mizuki, damn it!" yelled Tenten. "Yell all you want, Tenten. You're the one getting out of this wooden house." Mizuki said. Tenten tried to get out of the rope, but the man said, "Ah? Don't do anything stupid like that or your teammates will die with you."

KICK!

While the man was too busy paying attention to Tenten, Mizuki struggled and got the rope that tied her legs off. She kicked the man in the face, and pushed Tenten towards Neji with her shoulders. Tenten was caught by Neji. The man was still grabbing onto Mizuki's hair.

"YOU STUPID BITCH!" The man yelled. Neji, Tenten, and Mizuki couldn't see what happened, they only knew that fire was already around the house. "NEJI! TENTEN! HURRY UP AND RUN!" Mizuki yelled. The man yanked her hair, and laughed. "You seriously have problems." Mizuki said to him.

"NO MIZUKI! WE'RE NOT LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!" Tenten yelled from the other side of the wooden house. "HURRY UP AND RUN!" Mizuki said. "We're getting you out." Neji said, trying to walk closer to the man and Mizuki.

Neji couldn't go any further, the wood from the ceiling fell down, seperating Neji and Tenten away from the man and Mizuki. "GO!" Mizuki yelled. Neji ran towards Tenten and picked her up, bride style. Tenten turned back around to see Mizuki smiling. When she couldn't see her anymore, Tenten cried.

Neji placed Tenten against a tree nearby. Both of them looked at the big fire, wondering if Mizuki escaped. "Neji, she's died." Neji shook his head and said, "No, she's alive, she's alive." Tenten shook her head and said, "She died in the fire! She was already trapped in the fire, and she knew that! There was no way out for her!" Tenten sobbed. Neji pulled Tenten towards him, letting Tenten soak up his shirt.

"Tenten, what's with the blood stains?" Neji asked, when Tenten calmed down. "That man had a weapon and he kept on hitting us with it, Mizuki was hit more, blocking me. He didn't like females, because he said that they leave guys heartbroken." Neji nodded.

"Do you want to go back to the temple?" Neji asked, while he was carrying Tenten bridal style. Tenten nodded.

When they got there, they packed up Mizuki's stuff, and Neji found a letter. He opened it and walked and sat next to Tenten. The letter said.

Dear Neji and Tenten

By the time you read this, I'll either be in the Village of Cranes, Konoha, or dead. I wrote this the night before I left to Konoha. I just wanted to say that I wish you two luck. I knew Tenten liked Neji, and I didn't want to do anything to ruin it, so I agreed to stay at the Village of Cranes. I just wanted to be in one last mission with you two until I go back to becoming Princess, or go back to Hide-In-The-Mist ninja there, and help my father and sister. I've thought about giving Yuuto a chance, I just want the two of you two be together. I knew coming back to Konoha will change everything, and I've tried to go back to Hide-In-The-Mist village, but Tsunade-sama said I belong in Konoha. Even if I do move back to Hide-In-The-Mist, I would come back to be a Konoha ninja, just because of you, Neji. I knew the two of you liked each other before I came here, and because of my arrival, I've made Neji confused. I'm sorry, Neji. Tenten, you were kind of mean to me in the beginning, but I knew you weren't that kind of person. I just wanted to get to know you. When we first met each other, I've tried to make Neji ask you, but he kept on denying his feelings. I then found out that Neji and Tenten were mean to me because I changed alot of things in Konoha. Tenten tried to keep Neji to her, and Neji wanted to like Tenten and only her. I'm sorry I came into the village and changed everything, I didn't mean it. I seriously didn't. Please forgive me.

Tenten, we became very good friends, I always treated you as a best friend, we had alot of memories, and moments. I've tried very hard not to get between you and Neji, just to keep our friendship. To me, you're more important then Neji, he can't walk around the village and shop with me like you do. He'll do anything not to embarrass himself, but you, you embarass yourself and don't even care.

Neji, you're a bastard, but you're still my first best friend. You're like a naggy lady, but it's okay, because you have alot of good points. You care for your teammates, and um ... I can't remember anymore. But I won't forget about our past, and the moment we've shared, even though you don't want to tell others about it.

I love you guys alot, and I hope you to will stay together forever. Yes, I'm giving you permission. But don't go too far. I'm sorry about everything, and I really hope you two will stay together, always.

----------------------

Neji took the note out of his pocket and reread it, Tenten looked at the note and started crying. Neji putted the note in his pocket and sat up next to her. He then placed this hands onto the tree on both sides of Tenten, and his legs on both sides of hers.

He leaned in and said, "I'll still love you." He leaned in and kissed her. After afew seconds, their lips fell apart, but their lips were touching, he said softly, "I love you forever, Tenten." Tenten felt his lips moving on hers. "I love you too, Neji." Neji putted his arms around her waist, and her arms around his neck, and they kissed again.

I made Mizuki died, and Tenten and Neji ended up together. It's always better if one person dies in a love triangle. LOL. well. yeah. that's the end. sorry it was soo long. please review. no mean ones.
