Chapter 1: Autobiographies, Rainbows & Apologies, Oh My!

-----------Tenten POV-------

Prologue: Tenten is rich but both her parents are dead. Tenten's mother was killed by her father whom was emotionally unstable. He later killed himself in remorse. She witnessed the death of both her parents and blames herself for not stopping them, leaving Tenten with a huge fortune. I mean HUGE. Although she's rich Tenten hates to flash around money. She is a brilliant gymnast and is training in acrobatics. She has great balance and finds it easy to sit in contorted positions often scaring her friends. She is the same age as everyone. She struggles in Math and sport even though she's a gymnast. She is 16 years old. She has bad self-confidence and was once bulimic. No-one knows about her illness or about her parents. Her new last name is Huo Long (fiery dragon) it's in Chinese because it seems like she is and I'm pretty sure she is but whatever.


"You think you know me,

Word on the Street is that you do

You want my history,

What others tell you won't be true."


Tenten was not having a great morning. She'd woken up and literally tumbled out of her large bed onto the wood floor. Then when she went to shower the water had not worked so stupidly in her pajamas she'd played with the nozzle only to have it drench her in boiling water. After finally finishing her shower Tenten went to get her breakfast only to see the maid Dong had taken a well-deserved break Tenten had happily given her. She'd completely forgotten about this. Cursing herself for never learning how to cook she shoved and egg in a saucepan and watched it. It took her 20 minutes to realize you had to turn on the stove. By this time she was going to run late for her first day back at school. She wasn't that hungry anyway.

She flung her white short sleeved School shirt on with had slightly puffed sleeves and threw the low cut dress over the top. The dress had been made short. It was navy blue and pleated. She then shoved on her striped blue necktie and long white socks, before carelessly shoving her feet into black ballet flats. She grabbed two pink ribbons and tied her hair up in two messy buns after brushing through it quickly.

She ran out the door having another realization that she'd sent the entire staff of her estate on holidays. Swearing she ran out of her grounds and down the busy streets of Konoha to her school.


------Ino POV--------

Prologue: Ino is neither rich nor poor. She is 16 and works for her parents in their flower shop. She loves the cooking club and spends most of her time after school there. She is a very skilled chef and specializes in desserts. Her secret recipe is blueberry shortcake. When Ino was 9 her sister died of cancer leaving her with her parents. Her sister was 8 years old. Ino feels the need to be a perfect child in order to replace her lost sister Nimi. People joke and call her Aoi-Bara (Blue Rose) because she always wears a blue rose in her hair. She is 16 and struggles in science. She can't focus with the theorems in science so she sits next to Shikamaru and copies his work. He writes slowly to annoy her so she spends the majority of her lessons in science poking him and whispering random things to make him crack up.


"Can you see her dressed in blue?

See the sky above of you…

Have you seen a lady fairer?…

She's like a rainbow. "


Ino gently removed a blue rose from a bunch her father had collected that morning and cut off the head she placed it on her ponytail with a small blue bow. Smiling she grabbed her black school bag and threw on her black ballet flats. Tenten, her and Hinata all had the same shoes. She jogged outside and threw her bag in the basket of her bike and rode in the direction of school.

As she rode to school she stopped at a local bakery and picked up a blueberry bagel for breakfast along with a bottle of milk. She demolished the bagel and gulped down the milk before riding to school. She was about to enter the school gates when she heard a lazy voice yell behind her.

"Oi! Aoi-Bara!" she turned around to see Shikamaru walking behind her his navy blue blazer thrown carelessly over his shoulder, his white shirt loosely unbuttoned and his striped tie loosely worn around his neck. He handed her a blue rose head. Instinctively she felt her ponytail only to feel that it had indeed fallen out.

"Neh…how clumsy of me thanks Shika." She smiled and placed the flower more carefully in her hair. He rolled his eyes. He used to complain about her calling him Shika but she called him that all the time so it was too troublesome to change. They stood by the gate and looked at the school. It was a large concrete building with a quad surrounded by trees and tables. The building was a sort of square with no centre, branching out into the different subject's classrooms with an oval at the back as well as a pool. There was a large hall to the left. Ino took a deep breath and sucked in the fresh air.

God how she'd missed this place. She smiled at Shikamaru and grabbed his wrist dragging him into the school. He sighed, as per usual. Suddenly a totally random thought occurred to her.

"Oi Shika." She began turning around to face him a cute curious expression on her face. "If you're a genius and all how come you haven't graduated?" Shikamaru just looked at her and shrugged. She huffed before giggling.

"Typical you lazy ass!" she giggled hitting him mockingly on the arm.


------- Neji POV----------

Prologue: Neji is rich like Hinata. He is part of the martial arts club and masters in his own developed technique of cutting off movement in a person's body by hitting their pressure points. It took him years to perfect and he promised Tenten to teach it too her. He is skilled in sport and Maths but secretly fails English. He is 16 years old and his father was killed by his Uncle. He resents his Uncle for this and used to take it out on Hinata and Hanabi. He has now stopped this but still resents his Uncle. He does speak although can most of the time not be bothered to do so; instead he mumbles incoherently or ignores the person who's talking to him. He is in the same school house as Tenten (1) and always spends homeroom coming up with crazy theories and stories to kill the time of rants by Gai-Sensei.


"I'm sorry for the times I would neglect,

I'm sorry for the times I'd disrespect.

I'm sorry for the wrong things that I've done…

You can put the blame on me."


Neji woke up late again. He was only awake because he heard Hinata trip down the stairs, again. Then he heard Hanabi subside in a fit of laughter, again. He scowled and checked his clock coming to the realization he had exactly 2.1 minutes to shower, eat, get dressed, pack his bag and lunch and get out of the Hyuga estate so he could get to school in time. He forced himself up and grabbed his books carelessly shoving them in his back with his foot as he prepared to shower.

Once he finished this he heard Hinata slam the door and a car leaving. Hinata had taken the chauffeur and bolted. Scowling he threw on his uniform carelessly and grabbed and apple as he ran out of the estate. Jogging as he heard the bell signal the start of the school year he bit harshly into his apple. It tasted disgusting and in anger he threw it with all his might in front of him. Awaiting a loud crackle as it would break on the ground he heard a familiar voice.

"OW! WHAT FRIGGING IDIOT THROWS A FRIGGING APPLE! MY GOD!" He looked ahead and spotted a severely pissed off Tenten. She was rubbing her head and glaring at his apple which lay innocently enough on the ground. Her back was too him and she was too pissed off too notice him as he came up behind her and ruffled her messy hair. Turning around she saw Neji and gave a slight smile.

"Oh! Morning Neji! You're just in time to help me find THE FRIGGING ASSHOLE WHO THREW AND APPLE AT MY HEAD!" she yelled attracting much attention to them. She looked around and Neji began jogging pushing her in the direction of school. She jogged next to him and he explained about how his apple had been sour. She just ignored him when he said it was an accident.

"Tenten is it your time of month." He smirked and caught an evil glare as he ran ahead. She was at his heels.

"Oi! Hyuga!" she yelled after him suppressing a giggle. They both remembered the first time Tenten had held a grudge at Neji. He had carelessly kicked a pebble on the oval and it had hit her on the forehead. She'd held a grudge all day and had only forgiven him when Ino had "whispered to them"

"Ten's just pissed off 'cos she's on her period"

The look on Ino's face when Tenten charged at her with a broom was priceless. Someone had gotten a picture and plastered it all over the school. Tenten had found it so funny that she'd gotten over her major PMS. They continued to jog as they entered the grounds along with a few late stragglers. They ran into the hall hearing the booming voice of Headmistress Tsuande welcoming them back to another marvelous year at Konoha Sentakushi School (Konoha Selective School.)
