Ten-ten's P.O.V.
I saw Neji at my side, tears slid down his cheeks. I was confused, Where am I, who is this person beside me? Where is the heartless monster I once knew?
I swallowed and closed my eyes. I was hurt all over, my throat didn't let a word slip through my mouth, I felt like my voice box had been slit in to two.
I could fell a mask over my face. It had a heavy rubber taste, it was disgusting.
I tried to move, but it was no use, The room seemed dark and cramped.
I felt pain in my stomach and chest, It was almost unbearable. I tried to scream but I could it was no use.
I heard doors flung open and winced from the sudden sound of Someone screeching. I felt Neji's grip on my hand soften as I saw him stager up from his knees. I wanted to know who it was.
There was another screech and a Deep voice that seemed cheerful. I then realised.
"Neji!" It was Gai and Lee. I heard talks of the spring time of youth and Neji's sudden insults.
I managed to let out a faint smile.
I suddenly saw the shocking sight of Lee Towering over me, It gave me a fright to see his large eyes and ridiculous hair cut.
He beamed at me and raised his fist. Then I remembered what happened. The Kunai in my chest and others in my back, along with the Sword through my stomach.
I closed my eyes tightly.
Everything felt like it was happening so fast.
I saw my team mates tower over me including Sakura who seemed surprised herself.
I closed my eyes, I was confused.
I felt the bed that I was laying on move. When I opened my eyes I saw lights in ceiling, they seemed to be moving the opposite way that the trolley was moving. I heard the wheels move and clutter. I was still unaware of where I was but I didn't care, I had Neji by my side, holding my hand. With him around I felt… Safe.
I heard a Door open before I entered a room that was a bit smaller that the last.
I was wheeled by a wall. I stared up at the ceiling, absorbing my surroundings. It was welcoming but I could fell pain build up around my stomach.
In a instant, everything went quiet. But I wasn't alone, I felt Neji's breath hitting my Neck.
I couldn't forget of what happened before I woke. I could remember the pain and the silent victory I went through - Suddenly I fought my confusion, I was in hospital.
As I stared up to the ceiling I caught the sound of Neji whispers. I could quiet make it out but it was like he was continuously asking me something. He Grabbed My hand again with a grip that slowly tightened. Her stopped his eternal Questions.
- Silence.
There was still no one else in the Room, Just me and My Hyuga Comrade. But it made me think.
'Neji hates hospitals, why would he be here? It should be against his will or there was a physical reason. And if it was he would be trying to recover as fast as he could, He has no other purpose to be here with me, I mean, its not like him to visit anyone in hospital'.
"Say something" He spoke, I tried to reply, I really did but it was no use. My throat wouldn't let a single word slip from my lips.
I somehow felt like Neji in some way. I understood what it felt like to be Caged, Caged from not able to speak out. Chained in a Cage.
I suddenly heard him say something out of the blue. It was the four Letter word. THE four letter word, The one that could change Someone's life…. 'Love'.
Even though it was the only word I could catch, I managed to Patch up the rest of the pieces.
It was too confused.
The hours quickly Passed, I couldn't get a hold of just a single thought. Too much had happened. I got the feeling that it was getting late. Neji Had been by my side for too long. I stole a gaze of him. He was still holding my hand.
Where was that emotionless monster I once knew?
He was looking down to the floor, he seemed spiritually out of the room. He Suddenly let go of my hand when the door swung open.
I saw a tall, blonde, brown eyed woman at the door. She walked over to Neji and looked down at him. She sounded like she was telling him off or something.
He bowed his head in sorrow, his lips moved.
I read his lip movement, I think he said goodbye. Tsuande walked behind him. He wasn't standing.
I was surprised to see that she wheeled him to the door. He was in a wheelchair.
I was stunned, when they left the room. I slowly moved my hands to my face and removed the gas mask. I was relieved that I could move my arms.
I looked at them, They were covered in Battle scars and wounds.
One of the Slices was too deep, I stared at it for a moment and smiled.
'A wound that will remind me of a victory, a scar that will show that I can't be strong'.
I lowered my arms and stared at the ceiling. I sighed and closed my eyes.
The room suddenly went dark, there was a blackout.
I opened my eyes and stared around the room that was filled with darkness. I couldn't see a thing. I wanted to scream or something, but it was no use. All that came out of my mouth was pure nothingness.
I felt a tear run down the side of my eyes, the instinct of a Shinobi didn't apply here. I couldn't hold my emotions back. I swallowed and laid on the bed in the room of darkness.
I continued to stare at the roof that seemed inexistent to my eyes in the situation.
I closed my eyes again hoping that the lights will turn back on. I was tired, and fell in to a dream.
Quiet,
I was under a tree, someone's arms around me.
It was a autumn scenery,
Fallen Leaves on the dirty ground.
It was cold, but warmed by the strangers arms.
Black hair flowed over my shoulder, Black hair that isn't mine.
Hands wrapped around me, Hands that aren't mine.
Breathing hitting my neck, breathing that is to familiar.
No pain, no suffering, Silence…
I slowly opened my eyes with a slight smile. The room was filled with orange sunlight, the rain had stopped. "The dream.." I whispered painfully.
My eyes stared to the ceiling and I wished that I could get out of my current condition.
Silence in the room.
The minuets passed and I knew it was early, it seemed like the best night of sleep I had in years. But there was the exception of my injuries. My throat still felt like there was a Kunai stuck in it and I couldn't feel my stomach. I was hungry but I had over came it.
I tried to yawn but I gave up from the agony I had served.
It was too quiet, no one walking outside of the room, just pure silence. I could feel myself breathing ever so slightly. Even though the pain was immense I couldn't help but to touch the right side of my chest.
I felt my self wince but I didn't care, no pain no gain Neji would say.
I removed my hand and waited for nothing in particular.
The door creaked open, It was Sakura. Her green eyes beamed, She looked happy? There was a wide grin on her face.
"Tenten!" She squalled, I winced from her screeching.
"Me and Tsuande-sama have been researching your condition, and we have fount a cure to your eternal wounds" She took a bottle from her pocket.
At the time I was confused, 'Eternal wounds?' I thought, gripping the sheets with my hand.
She smiled and moved closer to me. The medical ninja slid her arm behind my neck and helped me sit up.
Using her free thumb she uncorked the bottle and brought it towards me indicating me to drink it. I took a breath as she brought the liquid closer. I took it in my mouth and let the cold liquid slip down my throat.
I felt like I was going to be sick, the taste was revolting. I pushed myself to the other side of the bed and vomited. I felt like I was coughing my in sidings out.
I felt Sakura's warm hands on my shoulders. I saw a green glow to my side. In a couple of seconds I felt fine, I supported myself with my arms.
The pains in my stomach and chest had gone away but I continued to wince.
The pain was unbearable, I felt like I had vomited my voice box out.
The Kunoichi by me smiled softly with risen eyebrows.
"My research has told me that your wounds should be gone now but your voice origin has been broken in to pieces, you would be able to talk for a couple of weeks" I looked at her with risen eyebrows.
"So you should be out of here in a couple of days Tenten" She smiled widely and patted me on the back.
The girl left the room after other nurses had cleaned up the sick.
I sat there in disbelief, 'how did… my god, I can feel my stomach' I smiled while supporting myself with my arms.
I removed the sheets that shielded me from the cold. I saw myself in a pink polo shirt and black trousers. I lifted my top slightly to find bandages. I sighed and shifted my legs to the side of the bed, lowering my top.
I rested my feet on the ground and attempted to stand, I knew I shouldn't of been doing that myself but I didn't care, I wanted to get back out there and train with Neji or anyone.
I tried to stand without the support from the bed but it was no use, I would of just felt a shock of pain.
But in other ways I felt better than I ever did, I loved to feel pain since I can learn from my mistakes and I have learned the most valuable lesson, Things are not what they seem.
There we are... The End of Tenten's P.O.V.
R&R Please
