A/N : Heavens Phoenix here. I am so so so so very very sorry about not updating in such a very long time. Its just school has started up again and I have all honors classes. Plus I have three take home tests every week and an essay due soon. I'm going to try to update at least by the end of next week. Please find a way in your hearts to forgive me. Arigato.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Or any other characters I happen to use in this plot. i only wish.

TenTen:

Wow....

I only thing I had to say was wow.

I mean, I thought he was just kidding, but boy was I sure as hell wrong. He almost kicked my ass. Honestly, nobody had come even close to me since...well, i couldn't even remember. Probally right after what happened to my parents when I first started to train. Well, at first it was easy. I threw some kunii at him and he deflected them with ease. Then we went into taijustiu. Thats when it started to get hard. He hits hard as hell. Man, he was kicking my ass untill I started to get serious. Then I even'd out the playing field. After that was a blur. We just keept going back to back with each other. If I hit him one place he hit me in another. We were even. Which shocked me. But in the end we decided to call it a tie. I didn't even notice how long we were fighing. We started around 2:30'ish, and now the sun had started to come up. After that, I painfull walked back to my apartment. When I just about got in the door. I saw Sakura.

Damn. I thought.

I really hope she doesn't notice my condition, because if she did, well I would be screwed.

I walked up to my door, and just before i could get in she stoped me.

"Tenten, is that you. What the hell happened. You look like someone just kicked your ass. Do you need help?" Sakura asked.

" Um... no thanks, i'm fine. Just a little scratches. I'm a little clumsy." I said as convincing as I could. Hoping she wouldn't notice. Unfortunatly, she did. She ran right up to me and grabed my arm to try to hold me up.

"You are not alright. What happened to you. Your comming with me. I have some medical training and can Treat most of your injurys." She said. She had that look in her eyes and I knew I wasn't gonna get away. So I agreed.

"Ohkay." I let her help me inside and she put me on her couch. She doesn't have much here. I thought. She has a couch, an arm chair, small t.v, and one painting o the wall. It was really bland. I didn't expect that from a girl with pink hair. She just returmed from the kitchen with some medical supplies.

"Well Tenten, lets see your damage. A fracterd rib, twisted wrist and ankel, and multiple cuts and bruses. My god. What the hell did you do. Jump out of a tree or something. Its gonna take at least two and a half weeks, minimum, to be healed." She finshed looking horrified.

"I'll be healed in a week." I stated bluntly.

She looked at me like I was outta my damn mind. "Are you insane. That's impossible. Nobody can heal that fast in your condition. Where did you get that assumption." She questioned.

"I've had alot worse and healed in A week and a half. I heal fast. Always had. So in three days i'll be walking perfectly, most of my bruses will be healed and i'll have minor cuts. By the end of the week I sould be back to normal, fracterd rib and all." I said cheerfully.

She still didn't believe me. "Yeah, sure. I'll believe it when I see it. Anyways what happened?" She questioned. Again.

"I was in a sparring , was it a hell of a lotta fun. I haven't got my ass kicked like that in a long time. Gotta do it , next time he won't surprise me. Atleast, we took home the same amount of damage. I would be pissed as hell if we didn't." I was laughing as I told Sakura.

"Ohkay, let me get this stright. You were fghting a---" I cut her off.

"Sparring." I corrected her.

"Oh, my bad. You were sparring against a guy. In where? The woods. At all hours of the night. But, you happy because 1. you got your ass kicked, and 2. he took home the same amount of damage. Correct?" She finshed

"Yep Yep!" I anwered happly again.

"You are out of your damn mind. What do you mean your happy to get your ass kicked. When was the last time you got you ass kick, if I may ask?" She asked.

I stoped laughing and thought about it. "Its been a while, thats for , I mean sure, its nice and fun to win all the time without trying...but after a while it gets boring, and very lonely. I don't really like to be by myself. And ,being at the top, Isn't the best place for someone like that. I've been alone my whole life, but it doesn't mean that I liked it. I can't tell you what it's like trying to live in a world like that. You really don't wanna know." I finshed sadly. It was quite for a little while.

Sakura:

" I know what that feels like and your right: it Isn't a really nice place to live in. I've lived in a world where I have to always put a mask on and make sure nobody finds out the truth. I've been alone for at least seven years now. It's hard you know always putting on that brave frount. Loneliss is scary. I'm glad someone understands that. I don't know why people think it is conferting. But, at the very least I do know." I finish quitly.

"Yes. That's how it feels. So, I was kinda happy, y'know. It felt good for once. I haven't felt this way in a long last time I got into a match like that was...... about six years ago. When I was eleven. It's nice to know that somebody is always stronger than you. My teach used to say" I'll show you the meaning that there'a always someone better." I always knew what it ment, but I guess I kinda forgot. Today I remember." She finshed, laughing quitely. I quess at herself.

"Yeah. So, do your wounds feel better." I aske her.

"Yeah, they do. Well I don't really want to cut this chatt short, but I need to get some sleep." She says while she starts to get up.

"Oh." I say a little dissapointed." Here let me help you."I move to help her move, but she stops me.

"No, no. It's ohkay. I've got it." She says as she continues to walk towards the door. When we get to the door I go to open it, but again, she stops me. "Thank you, Sakura. Not for just the medical help, but also for our little talk. It's nice to finally get some part of the storm out of me, y'know. We should do this again. It would be very nice, for me, and you. Also, i'm sorry." She quickly walks out the door. Leaving me bewilered. I'm sorry.

After I close the doorand start to clean up, I think about what she said. "It's been a while, that's for , I mean sure, its nice and fun to win all the time without trying...but after a while it gets boring, and very lonely. I don't really like to be by myself. Being at the top, Isn't the best place for someone like that. I've been alone my whole life, but it doesn't mean that I liked it. I can't tell you what it's like trying to live in a world like that. You really don't wanna know."

I wonder excetly what has she gone through that could make her think like that? Anyways I need to stop getting into her business and get to bed. I thought.

Neji:

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

That girl is out of her mind. I mean, she kick my ass. if we had gone on any longer, I would be alot more messed up now. I have what, a twisted ankle,two slash's. One long slash from my wrist to my elbow, and one across my torso. My body had bruses of shoe marks all around it, and alots of smaller slash's as well.

As I walked into the Hyuuga compound, I went stright for the kitchen. We keep the medical supplies in there. When I walked into the door, someone was in there. It was Hinata-sama. When she saw me she almost screamed. She immediately ran to my side.

"O-oh my!N-neji-nii, wat happened. Do you realize how injured you are?" She asked.

"As a matter of fact I do. You didn't have to point out the obvious." I stated coldly.

"I-i-im s-s-sorry. D-do you want me to h-help you? I d-don't think y-y-you can get all of the bruses." She asked quiter.

"Whatever, it's up to you." I said.

"O-okay, I think w-we should move to your r-room so it would be e-easier." She said.

"Ohkay." I said. We walked to my room in an awkward silence. She tried to start a conversation, but everytime she started, she would just close her mouth without saying anything. We finally reached my room. I walk in first.

O-Ohkay, Neji-nii, can you sit at you d-desk chair p-please." She quitely asked.

"Sure" I replied. I sat and she reached into the medical kit. She took out disinfectents, and bandages, and grabbed my wrist, put the herbs on it, and bandaged it. She did that to all the rest of my wounds. When she finshed, I thanked her.

"Thank you, Hinata-sama."

"N-no problem, N-neji-nii. Oh, anad b-before I-i go, can you tell me h-how you got i-injured in the f-first place. N-not to be rude or a-any thing." She finshed quickly

"I was sparring aganist a women." I stated plainly.

"A-all this d-damage from j-just a spar? Well, d-did you enjoy it, N-neji-nii?" She asked.

"It was nice. To be able to go all out. We had about the same amount of damage. Everytime I would hit her, she would find a way to hit me back." I finshed quitely.

"O-oh, so that means you two are about e-equaly matched, b-but not to bring any d-disrespect though." She stated.

"It ohkay. But, we are equaly matched. I'm pretty sure if the match had continued, I would have lost." I just came out and said it.

"R-really! oh, well. Thank you for t-talking N-neji-nii. It's been a while since we t-talked like this, it was nice. But, I have to go to bed it's almost six a.m." She said. Six a.m. Really. It's already this late. I quess it really is time for bed, but what is Hinata-sama doing up?

"Hinata-sama, what are you doing up anyway?" I asked.

"W-well, I woked up and c-couldn't get back to b-bed. So, I came and wanted to make something for m-myself. Then y-you happened to come through the d-door." She finshed.

"oh, well, i'm sorry for disturbing you, and goodnight, Hinata-sama." I said as she walked out the door.

"Goodnight, Neji-nii." She closed the door. I went into my closet and change into shorts and got into bed. I started thinking about our spar. She seemed kinda excited. Almost happy. Like she was enjoying herself while we were sparring. I thought. Even though I was thinking it through, it made less and less since it me. She such a strange person. I though.

Tenten.

We will have a rematch, that's for sure. Sometime, while I was lost in my thoughts, I fell asleep.

Sasuke:

What the hell am I doing? I thought to myself. I walking aroung lost at six in the morning. Am I insane. Well, the reason i'm out here in the first place is because there is a loud mouth blonde, screaming his head off. I don't know why, and I planed to ask.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked. "Do you have any idea what time it is? Almost six a.m. And, your here screaming at the top of your lungs. Are you insane."

The loud mouth blonde turned around and just stared at me. Then studdenly a huge fox like smile broke out onto his face.

"Sasuke-teme, is that you? Oh my god, it is. Where have you been all these years? Wait, why are you looing at me like that. Don't you know who I am?" He suddenly started asking all these questions.

"I have absolutely no idea who you are. And who the hell are you calling a Teme(1)" I asked him.

"You really don't remeber do you." The smile suddenly fell off his face. As his voice grew quiter and sadder.

"Well, what should I remeber?" I said.

"Nothing. It doen't matter. You have to remeber sooner or later, right? Any ways I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I'm gonna be the next Hokage someday. Believe It!" He end up yelling the last part. I tried to remeber him but all I ended up seeing was white, and spots of blonde.

"Mhn. You keep believeing that. I would really like it if I could go back to my roon and find some peace and quite." I stated it. Then a look swefted across his face.

"Oh, was I really that loud?" He asked

"Yes."

"My bad, my bad. Oh! I almost forgot. Sasuke what school are you going to next week?" He just asked.

"Konoha High." Then I turned around and walked away.

"Me too! I'm going to be you personal tour guide, ohkay, Sasuke-teme. And goodnight." He yelled it across the hall .I walked into my apartment.

I walked into my room, took of my shirt and laid down on my bed. Naruto Uzumaki. I could have sworn I'd heard that name before. I tried thinking back into the past. Back to where everyone was alive. Oh! now I remember him. When I was younger I use to feel very alone, and sad because I never got any attention. While I would sit at the bottom of the docks, a little blonde haired boy would just walk around. At the time the sun used to set. One day he came down to the dock and we just started to talk. Just random things. I remember asking him who he lived with, and he said no one. At first I didn't believe him. I mean who at that small age can live all by themselvs. I asked him what he ment and he changed the topic. We coninued to meet each other for three and a half more years untill the massacre happened. I then left the village to become stronger and kill my brother. Who would have thought that I'd meet him again.

My last thought before going to bed was that look on his face when he remember me, and when he found out that I forgot about him.

Please review and tell me what you think. And some ideas for the next chapter would help as well. Thank you!
