Okay nearly at the end now. Recap for those who've forgotten Tammie has left the village and the only trace she left behind were three letters labelled Asuma, Shikamaru and The Rookies. Here we go Chapter Eleven.
Troublesome Girl
Chapter Eleven:
Asuma was angry and sad at the same time when he read Tammie's letter:
Asuma,
I'm sorry, I wanted to stay but I think that we both knew I couldn't stay, not now. I need to become the person my father wanted. When I learn my share of jutsu and become stronger I may return. I know you loved my mother and father like siblings and I'm sorry for the trouble I caused while stayed with you. I need to do this, please don't come looking for me. I promise you that I will come back one day. But for now the stars are my guide and my heart the map.
Thankyou
Love
Tammie
He was sad because she felt this way but was angry because he knew she was right, she couldn't suppress her feelings of loneliness. She felt incomplete. He wouldn't look for her; he would obey her wish and hope that fate brought them back together.
Shikamaru had given the letter to Asuma and then left for home to read his letter in the privacy of his room.
Dear Shikamaru,
You've shown me what no other person has, unconditional love. I have never known it before so I have no idea how to handle it. First I guess I have to admit that I love you. This love almost made me stay in Kohona, but I can't ignore these feelings of incompletion. I really did start to think of Kohona as home. I will return one day when I have seen, learned and felt my share of the world. I will miss you as a friend, a team mate and a lover. I will never forget you and I hope that fate will cross our paths again one day. Please don't try to find me it is best this way I feel like if I had stayed I would have regretted it.
Goodbye
Love
Tammie
Tears fell to the paper, he would always think of her, no mater where he went, he knew she couldn't stay and he couldn't follow. He loved her and he let her go, and he hoped to God that she came back. Until then he would live his life and become stronger and he was sure he would see her again.
The third letter addresses to the rookies made the girls sob and the boys hang their heads. Tammie's departure hit everyone hard. They all assembled at Hinata's house and comforted each other as the heavens cried with them.
For The Rookies,
By the time you read this I shall be gone. I don't know how to explain to you the feelings that lead me to leaving but I can tell you that I hope to return one day. I'll be travelling around the world soon enough and I want you to know that I will never forget you guys. Sakura I'll miss you ringing me in the morning to wake me up because you know I've ignored my alarm clock again, thanks for all the support you've given me. Ino thankyou for not letting me walk out of the house looking like the slob I normally would, the clothes were greatly appreciated. TenTen thanks for sticking up for me when Karin got me down and for all the amusement in homeroom. Hinata thankyou for all the tutoring and great cooking not to mention your hangover cure, you have no idea what I would have been like without it. Sasuke, comfort Sakura for me, Neji give TenTen a hug and Naruto don't let Hinata faint, Kiba give Akamaru a pat for me and Shino don't let Hanna push you around lol. Chouji, do me a favour and ask KiKi to marry you. Hanna stop being mean to Shino and marry the poor guy. By the time I get back I expect you guys to be settled down and happily married. I WILL BE COMING BACK TO CHECK ON YOU! Thankyou so much guys.
Good luck
Love
Tammie
They wished to go and find her but Asuma had forbidden it and they could only hope that she was safe.
Tammie shook the water out of her hair and then entered the small coffee house on the road to the land of waves. She felt so much pain at leaving her friends behind, leaving him behind. At first she thought water was dripping from her hair until she realised the water leaking onto the table came from her eyes.
The tears came hard and fast as she remembered everything she ever felt bad for; Kohona had taught her more than she could ever know. It taught her how to love, cry, let go and how to be stronger than she ever thought she could be.
That's it for this chapter. IT IS NOT THE END I REPEAT NOT THE END OF THE STORY! There will be a time skip so stay tuned! Read and Review .
