So much drama in this chapter…okay get ready for this!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto (although I wish I could…)

Chapter 11

Nejis POV

I looked at the preist. Why does this feel like a dream?

And not a good one for that fact.

I feel like crying…but I…I cant.

"Neji?"

I woke up from my daze.

"Hm."

He sighed. "Speak your vows, young man."

My vows? My vows…I glanced at Tenten who was behind Temari.

She looked so beautiful in her bridesmaids dress.

I wish I could be speaking these vows to her, instead of...Temari.

I glanced up at her...oh right. My vows.

"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring…" I looked at the ring that I was placing on Temaris finger. "I…I ask you to be mine."

12 hours earlier

Hidans POV

"Tenten…" I stroked her cheek.

Tenten shifted in her sleep. "Mmm.."

"Babe. Wake up…Im hungry." I shook her a little. How long does it take for her to wake up?

She yawned. "Go make yourself breakfast."

Stupid bitch. Once Im done with all this bullshit…I swear Im leaving her sorry ass.

I grabbed her wrist and brought it up from the covers. "Please. Go make me some breakfast."

"Ow! Okay okay…I was just playing around sheesh, no need to be hurtful."

"Thanks."

Later

I looked down at my empty glass. Then at the TV. Then at the clock. 3:30.

Tenten…where'd she go?

"Tenten!…serve me another drink." a little while later she appeared in front of me.

"Hidan…Its already getting late and I need to start getting ready for my friends wedding. Drink later, I need you to take me to Sakuras."

I sighed "Don't be a bitch Tenten. Just come here and serve me another drink."

"Didn't you just hear what I said? Jeez."

"Im not playing with you. Just serve me another fucking drink." I was getting angry.

"No, I need a ride, and I don't want you dru-" I got up and smacked her across the face. That'll teach her.

"Do I have to do everything myself?!"

She stared at me…oh fuck.

What have I done?

"Don't you EVER lay another hand on me you piece of shit!"

She ran out and I chased after her.

"Tenten! Please don't go! Im sorry!"

Will Karin want to take back all the money thanks to this? Fuck fuck fuck!

"Its over. Don't try calling me or looking for me."

She had ran away before I could say anything.

Later

Tentens POV

I touched my cheek…hopefully its not bruised.

I ringed the bell one more time. I think it was a bad idea to come here…

I started panicking a little. What happens if he answers the door. What will I do then? What happens if he asks me about my cheek... I touched it again. God that ass-hole is strong.

"Tenten!" I hadn't noticed Naruto standing in front of me...wait, what was he doing here anyways? Oh yeah, Hinata & him.

"Oh hey Naruto-kun. Is Temari in?"

"Yeah she's upstairs…woooaaah…what happened?"

Oh god my cheek. He noticed "What do you mean?"

"Your fa-"

"Oh this pffftt, its nothing. I…accidently…bumped into…a...a…pole." Wow, great excuse.

"Hmmm..." He eyed me carefully... "Alright! Just be careful next time, k?" Thank God he's dumb…

I walked in and rushed up the stairs to Temaris room.

I walked in and found Temari sitting on the bed, while a few maids where packing her wedding essentials in a few suit cases.

"Hey Tenten, what brings you here?"

"Umm…I just wanted to see how you where doing." I smiled lightly at her.

"But aren't you supposed to be getting ready with Sakura?"

Oh yeah…I completely forgot about that…why did I come here in the first place?

Was it because I wanted company? No…I could've gone home or to Sasukes.

"Neji! Look whos here! Come say hi!" Temari shouted to him, wherever he was…

A few minutes he appeared at the door. My heart felt like it was in my throat or something.

"Tenten…hows it going?" He sounded so much sadder.

"Umm…fine I guess." I covered my cheek with my hand, before he could notice.

I was a little too late, though. He noted right away.

"What happened to your face? Did someone hurt you?" He rushed to my side.

He grabbed my hand and started inspecting my cheek.

"It-its okay Neji, Im fine…I just bumped into a…pole." He quit touching my face and gave me a look. He knew I was lying.

"Well…If you say so." he dropped my hand and with that he left.

"You should really be more careful next time." I turned to Temari...I forgot she was there.

"Right…"

"Anyways, why was it you came straight here instead of Sakuras?"

I came here….I came here because I needed to feel safe.

I looked at the doorway.

And the only person I have ever felt safe way was with…Neji.

I looked at her again "I thought it was better to just get ready at the place and be with you for now." I flashed her a smile.

"Great! We can call up Sakura later & tell her to pass by to help you with your stuff…and of course, to attend the wedding afterwards. Eeeee! Im so excited! Arent you too Tennie-chan?"

Yeah definetly.

Later

Regular POV

"I covered that bruise of yours with AT LEAST a few coats of tan powder. Seriously Tenten who gets hurt that badly before a wedding? And not just any wedding! I mean this place's a freaking 5-star hotel…people of higher class or whatever come here and stuff! You've got to look decent Ten."

"Well you know me…I run into poles and things.."

She looked down at her feet.

"How bout you tell me hows it going with that Hidan guy. I mean, I absolutely hate his guts, but hey, he's your boyfriend. So whats there to do." She sipped some water from her cup.

"He's…not my boyfriend."

"What do you mean?" She gasped loudly "Did that fucker break your heart?!"

"No." She looked out the window that displayed a beautiful scenery of a few cherry blossom trees.

"He just…disappointed me, and I decided that he wasn't the one for me. No matter how hard I tried seeing that in him."

"Well its for the best. If he wasn't the one, then he's trash (not that I didn't obviously see that before…)"

Tenten walked over to the window and looked out. Sakura could see her eyes getting watery .

"Cheer up Panda! You look so beautiful!" Sakura told her.

"Thank you…" Tenten wiped the threatening tear and looked at herself in the near-by mirror.

She did look beautiful. Her dress was a soft shade of light pink with a soft look to it (much like the brides, except with less flashy-ness) that fit her body perfectly.

She sighed again. "Honestly…Sakura…I don't feel beautiful."

"That's it!"

Tenten looked at her shocked from her sudden abruptness.

"Ever since you started associating with Neji again, you've been acting so different! I know you miss him."

Tenten looked at her.

"I hate seeing you like this, you used to be so happy and fun...and now look. He's done it to you AGAIN…Maybe Hidan also played a role in hurting you…but this…this is just too much. Once you forget him and start moving on with your life, you just either can't find a guy as good as him or find some fucker who's not even worth your time!" Her eyes started getting watery.

"…" Tenten stared at her.

"I just want to see you be happy with your life again." She broke out hysterically crying now.

"Oh God Sakura…Please don't cry. Look Im fun and happy!" She started making silly faces and smiling.

Sakura wiped her tears. "Quite Tenten…you don't know how it feels!"

Tenten sighed and mentally shook her head. "Well then…I guess if you don't stop crying I'll just have to-" And she tackled her and started tickling her

Sakura stopped crying and started laughing instead. "TENTEN! Pleeease! Stop!"

Tenten quit tickling Sakura "See! Im fine!"

"…I guess you're still pretty funny…Thanks to that, you made me think twice." Tenten lightly punched her shoulder.

"Now lets get going, we've got a wedding to get to."

Later

Temari's POV

I patted down my dress. It was much puffier than I remembered.

"Breathe in, breathe out." I looked at Gaara who was at my side.

He just looked at me. I guess it was okay to talk to myself…since I was so nervous and all.

"This is your big day Temari, don't freak. You're getting married to the man you love. What more can you ask for?" He flashed me a look and raised his eyebrows.

"Gaara?...Is there something you wanna say?" I shook my hands a bit to release the stress.

"I hope you know exactly what it is you're doing Temari-sama..."

"What do you mean?" I glanced at him.

"When you do something...never regret it. And if at a point or moment in time you do...follow your instincts and head the opposite way...I wish you the best of luck today, big sister." He looked t me and smiled slightly.

What is he talking about?... I looked ahead and tried to process what he just said.

The doors opened before I could say anything.

All my thoughts where cleared. All I can think about is my special day.

"I can't believe this is finally happening." I whispered

The music, the place, the food where all perfect.

I looked up at Tenten and the rest of my bridesmaids. They all looked splendid.

Everything was just great.

Everything except for Neji.

He seemed so sad…

Why was he like this? This was supposed to be a great day for both of us!

I stood up at the platform and took Nejis hands. I looked at his neck and noticed the necklace he was wearing…it was the one Tenten gave him…

Everything got extremely quite.

And that feeling…The feeling that I've been feeling all this time…seemed to have disappeared.

It seemed to have been replaced with...something else.

Was this wrong?

No. Neji's my husband, not anyone else's.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony-…."

This is right I know it is.

Hiashi's POV

Finally. Everything is going just as planned.

I looked at Neji.

The future heir of Hyuga Inc.

Hn. He's doing good marrying that Subaku child. Smart boy. Know's what right for him.

"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."

Temari placed the ring on his finger and done.

"See that wasn't so bad.." I whispered to Karin who was on my side.

"Now young man, you may kiss the bride."

Nejis POV

I don't want to kiss her.

I looked over at Tenten. I could see she was dying inside.

Was she really? Or was that just me thinking that she was.

No. She's happy with who ever it was that she was with.

I leaned in closer to get this over with.

"Wait!..."

I looked up to see who said that.

"...Wait.." she said much softer.

"Tenten?"

She looked around at all the shocked faces.

"Im sorry…I just cant bear to see the man I love kiss my friend. Please forgive me." She walked up to both of us and made our hands join.

"Please…just continue. You two look great together."

She looked at Temari "Im sorry…"

Temari didn't say anything back.

Tenten turned around and left the wedding.

Tentens POV

I was crying…I know this because my face felt like I had just been soaked.

I ran out of this place and dashed to park.

I sat on a bench and just looked at the pond in front of me.

I stared at the baby ducks waddling around with their mother for a while…

I felt so embarrassed. I cried some more.

"Im so ashamed…" I looked up and just looked around.

I closed my eyes for a while and just thought about one person.

Who am I kidding. He's the only person I have ever loved. I will never love anyone else, ever in my life…and now…and now hes been taken away from me.

"This…this isn't fair."

I thought back. To every moment that we shared.

"Well…let me just say, when Im around you my heart doesn't feel like a rock at all!" he said still smiling.

"Then what does it feel like?" I stopped in my tracks and smiled softly at him

"…as soft & fragile as a…as a rose."

I chuckled a bit at the memory...but then began to think about everything once again.

I thought back when he told me how he truly felt about me…

This just hurt all too much. I closed my eyes and weeped quietly.

"Tenten…quit crying."

I looked up.

"You'll ruin your make up."

"Temari?...Wh-what're you doing here?...Aren't you supposed to be at your wedding?"

"No. I called it off."

My heart skipped a beat.

"What do you mean?"

"I decided that getting married to Neji wasn't the right thing to do."

I didn't say anything back.

"Now, you listen here. You and him are meant to be. Im sorry I got in between that. He loves you more than anything in the world, just like you love him more than...yourself even. I don't want to take that feeling away from the two of you." She kneeled in front of me "Please. Forgive me. Just…go…be with him….Im not going to hold you back…At least now I know Nejis not going to end up with someone terrible."

She winked at me. I remember when I told her that.

She went to go leave.

I grabbed her arm before she could take another step.

"Wait! Where will you go now?..."

"Back to China with my brothers I guess."

"Oh I see…will I get to see you?" My eyes started getting watery again

"Probably not…Don't cry anymore Tenten." She brushed my bangs behind my ear and kissed my forehead.

"Don't you forget about me okay?" Now she was about to start crying.

"Temari…"

"You where my first friend ever, and I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. Im going to miss you Tenten, you where my greatest, most truest friend."

End of Chapter 11
