I do not own Naruto or any of its charachters in anyway
*It Was Snowing*
Chapter 4
Days passed by, while fighting .
Weeks passed by,as she improved .
Months passed by too,and they were now almost 10 .
'Other two months,and it will be a year I'm here ' .
It was late night,and after a day of fighting against her old sensei,Tenten was exceedingly exhausted . She was curled up in her futon,under a coarse woollen blanket,and she could see the snowflakes fluttering from the almost black sky through the glass of her window,just above her head . She watched them quietly,as she couldn't sleep .
'Who knows when this all will be going towards an end ',she thought .
Not bitterly,because she kind of liked her new life,with that old sensei that was teaching her so much and that was so like a grandfather to her ; she liked Yukigakure a lot,so magically candid under the snow and so endlessly beautiful in the other seasons too .
She also enjoyed a lot her studies,and Yukimichi really was a great teacher .
That mansion was indeed full of everything...
There was aven a big kitchen,and being the student to all effects,she'd even learned to cook a lot better than how she'd done in the past . Ahah .
She shivered at the thought of Konoha,and wondered how the ones there were possibly doing .
'Maybe the Uchiha is back...' . It was possible .
She thought of a lot of people,carefully trying to avoid her team and expecially Neji .
But unfortunately,that night she couldn't restrain her wandering thoughts .
'I'd be curious to see how is he doing with Hachi ' . She smiled as she figured out Neji carefully babysiting the animal: he gave her that idea when she left .
She missed him,a lot .
'Let's try to sleep...'
…
As Hanabi chased the white cat throughout all the Hyuuga mansion in order to comb and vanilla-perfume it,Neji sulked darky in the big garden .
'When is she going to come back?' : this was the question he asked himself everyday .
Since almost a year had passed by,he rightfully thought that Tenten would be returning soon,a matter of a month or two,maybe even just weeks .
But of course,as he patiently waited and the days still increased their number,not even a letter from the bastard old piece of shit .
He figured out that maybe Tenten didn't have time to write letters,or maybe she wasn't allowed to .
He'd started to overwhelm himself with missions: he was usually no longer in Konoha than 2 days,and in this few days he was home,he trained . Sometimes Naruto asked him to,and he'd relatively gladly accept : Naruto was Naruto, but training with Lee was already boring .
Really he did miss her .
…
"Tsunade-sama,I was wondering when Tenten will be coming back to Konoha..." asked Shizune one day,while she reordered some papers on the Hokage's untidy desk .
"I don't know Shizune,I'm still waiting news from Yukimichi...Why do you ask,anyway?"
"Sakura and Ino asked me that yesterday,plus I noticed that the two green freaks are a little saddened,and Neji is being viciously training with Naruto,not to say that he's evidently depressed,and poor Hinata,she's lost a good friend and-"
"Yes,Shizune,I got the idea "
"And,also,I think that Tenten may be wanting to come back...? I mean,it has been more than a year she's been away, now..."
It was true . When she left,it was the end of the previous November,and now Konoha was going through a unusually not-so-cold February .
Still, sometimes it still snowed above Konoha.

Sorry,this chapter was so short,but I still have to decide how to continue,even if I got some ideas ... Just got to put them in the best way .
Plus I'm thinking of a High School fic (I know,there's plenty of them,but I adore the genre) .
