Tenten searched for her lost friend for hours. They had became great friends after Naruto & Sasuke left. Kakashi just...didn't teach Sakura so sakura and tenten started training late at night together since they couldn't sleep. They talked about opinions, worries, fears, ambition, love, hate, Etc.

Tenten had to find her. She owed her that much.

Neji watched tenten as she raced forward trying to find her long lost friend before they declared her a missing-nin. Such love and passion. Neji soon found himsel wondering what the two had been through together. He had seen their battles and wars and how they fought together side by side, but he never pictured this..

There should have been screams echo through the cave. Blood splattered on the walls.

No one to tell the tale of the little girl who will die on her 16th birthday.

The little girl who is kind, caring, and loving. The girl who will cry a river for her destiny is not kind. It is not merciful. She will only know pain and that is how she will life, giving a never ending loving heart that is will be in pain that no one sees.

She spares them and this is her reward, torture. She will not tell a soul of what happened that night or those months. She can no longer tell how long she was there all she knows is that she wished she had died. She shouldn't have spared them. She should have ended their pathetic lives there, but it seemed against her nature to do such a thing. How very wrong she was.

Which is why she is standing in a pile of bodies looking horrified. She stayed there a long time mumbling 'it was self defense-self defense. I'm a monster..self-defense...'.

She slowly sank to the ground on her knees. She didn't notice when a team of ANBU arrived or how they called her name. She didn't notice when they passed Naruto on the way to the hospital. How horror stuck he was by the sight of her. She didn't notice Kakashi drop his book. She didn't notice anything, her friends, the Hokage, Sasuke being back, all she knew was that she was the one she murdered her family out of self defense and how they tortured how over something that wasn't her fault... She killed her family...but only the ones that hurt her..only them, but that was most of them...

'what have I done'

and that is when she began to scream.

Let me know what you think. I'll try to make the next chapter longer. It's pretty short

chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. 3
