End of Authors Note

It was still Friday. An hour had passed since Tenten's curse mark had finally stopped burning. She wondered if she should go back outside.

Tenten finally decided that she should get a little more fresh air. She was careful not to run into her friends as she wandered through Konoha. Little did Tenten know that they were running around like mad men and women, trying to find her.

Tenten then crashed into a huge chunk of blonde. She looked up to see Ino, Sakura, and Temari. "There you are!" said Ino.

"We've been looking for you! Are you ok? You took off and never cam back. We thought you were hurt!"

Tenten stood up. She wiped the dirt off of her dark blue uniform and started to walk off in a fast pace. "Hold up!" said Temari. "Where are you going?"

"I don't want to talk right now." Tenten told them. All of the girls stared at her like she was a crazy person.

"What? Why not?" asked Sakura. Tenten swallowed the lump that was building up in her throat.

"I just don't want to." she stated plainly. She began to walk off, until Ino put a gentle and worried hand on her shoulder.

"We just wanted to…." She began. Ino was immediately cut off when a tile on the roadway flew off and hit her on the side of the head. "Gah!" she screamed as a small amount of blood trickled down her face.

All the girls gasped, the girls new that it was Tenten that had thrown the tile, but she had not touched a thing. Her mark had obviously reacted to her rage. She hadn't meant to hurt Ino.

Just then, the rest of the Konoha twelve arrived. They all switched eyes from Ino's bleeding head to Tenten's shocked figure that appeared to be choking on the air itself.

"What happened?!?!" asked Naruto.

"I-I didn't m-mean to…" Tenten began. Tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly darted away, heading for the training grounds.

"Someone please answer me!" screamed Naruto. The girls turned around to face him. The girls quickly explained what had happened and that Tenten hadn't meant to hurt Ino. Neji then darted off to the place he new that Tenten was heading.

Neji made his way to the training grounds to find Tenten lying on the ground. She hugged her knees as she wept continuously. There was sadness in the air as Neji silently crept over to her, crouching down next to her crumpled figure.

"Tenten, we all know you didn't mean to hurt Ino. Please don't cry." He said. Neji laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Gah!" screamed Tenten. She sat up and grabbed her neck as her mark once again burned her." This immediately got Neji's attention. He looked up at her face to see tear streaks and blood seeping out of her nose.

"Neji!" screamed Tenten. "I have to get ice on my curse mark, now!" She screamed once again as she started shaking.

Neji wasted no time as he scooped her up and headed for her home. Neji's house contained no ice what so ever, because he liked to deal with the agony of a wound. He ran with her screaming and shaking in his arms, blood covering his white shirt.

He easily jumped through the window of her house. He sat Tenten in the nearest chair he could find and then ran to the kitchen, stumbling all over himself. He took out the bag of ice and made his way back to the crying girl.

"Take this." He said to Tenten. She accepted the ice pack and held it to her curse mark. Neji quickly ran into her bathroom.

Neji gathered up a wet wash cloth. He headed into Tenten's living room where she sat, still shaking a bit as she pressed the ice onto her neck. Her face and shirt were gruesomely covered in the blood that had leaked from her nose.

Neji crouched down to Tenten's height. She looked up at him, still crying. Neji gently took the wash cloth and wiped the blood from her face.

When Tenten saw how much blood she was covered with, she nearly fainted. A large amount of shakes swept over her as she dropped to the ground, Neji going with her. "I can't b-breath." She said. Her voice was hard to hear through her hyper venalation.

Neji took her face in his hands and forced her to look at him. "Take slow, deep breaths." He told her. He watched her as she did what she was told, letting in a few hyper breaths in between.

She was once again crying, yet was breathing perfectly fine. For the second time, Neji guided Tenten's head to his shoulder. She stopped crying and tried to calm herself down as Neji held her tightly.

They sat there, together, on her hard wood floor. Each one was covered in Tenten's blood. "Neji?" said Tenten.

He did not look up, but replied to her. "Yes?" he asked.

"Thank you." She told him.
