Hey everyone its really been a long time. Firstly I wanna wish everyone happy new year. Truthfully, I haven't written all this while because I wasn't really motivated not many people reviewed so I felt that the story was becoming boring I was really blank of what to write but then my best friend came to me and told me that if I want to get motivated by reviewers I need to get them motivated to review so I've decided to do just that. Also I am in school (UNIVERSITY) and I don't really have enough time but I will try my best to keep updating.

I changed the rating to M because I've decided that with the way the story is going and considering the name it just can't remain T rated. I also want to say a big thank you to all my wonderful reviewers for all their reviews and I hope that they continue to review.

SIX

Tenten blinked as she thought of numerous ways to react. She could just skillfully collect the kunai from the prince and use it as a threat to force him to bring the scroll, or she could just deny it innocently, but what happened next came as a surprise to both the prince and tenten. She began to cry. Tenten didn't know what had made her cry. It was possibly the frustrating thought that she had been busted and the mission was over, or the picture of neji's face in her mind when he'll be giving her the 'I told you, you weren't up to the task' speech either way she just let the tears flow freely from her eyes down her cheeks. And this helped her a lot as she felt the prince's grip loosen from her neck and he inched the kunai away from her with obvious confusion on his face. Tenten used this to her advantage.

"It's not fair" she cried through sobs. "Everywhere I go there is always danger around me. What did I do to deserve this?" the prince finally released his grip on her neck and withdrew the kunai.

"Are you okay?" The prince asked handing her a handkerchief and giving her a sympathetic look. He had fallen for her lies. "Did I hurt you? Am really sorry"

Tenten inwardly sighed with relief, glad that she hadn't blown her cover. "No your highness its my fault for actually believing that i could actually be safe staying with you since all my family were killed and my village was destroyed." She said and broke into louder sobs.

"I really didn't mean to hurt you miss Yuri. It's just that a lot of people come here to steal or attempt to kill me and this is just a pre-cautionary motive to avoid any evil occurrence." He said softly, desperate to stop her from crying.

Tenten nodded and stopped sobbing. "I understand I guess I'll just leave so that you won't feel endangered by my presence" she said and began to walk out of the room.

"No, wait ... I mean you can stay here for a while. You'll be safer here and besides that I thought you had something to discuss with me?" the prince said.

"Really your highness? Can I really stay here?" tenten asked widening her eyes.

"Yes miss yuri you can stay here with your guard" he replied, staring at her face. Even the prince couldn't deny that she looked really cute.

"Thank you so much for your kindness your highness, and please stop calling me miss" she said bowing in a girly manner

"I will stop being formal if you also stop being formal. I am Natsu" he said smiling "I guess you must be tired and require rest so I'll send in someone to take you to your room and also a room for your guard.

"Thank you your hi.. I mean Natsu-san. I am very grateful" she said.

"I guess I will see you tomorrow" the prince said and walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

Tenten sat on a chair in the room. All of a sudden her ninja instincts activated and she could feel another presence in the room. Someone was definitely watching her.

The door of the room opened, making tenten jump as she was well aware of the fact that she had no weapons on her neither was she allowed using weapons. A short elderly woman room, making tenten less tense.

"Miss, I am Anoka and I am here to show you to your room" the woman said in a croaky voice.

"Oh thank you." Tenten said as she stood up and followed the woman she could still feel another presence as if she was being stalked, but she had no choice but to ignore it, since she had to pull off the civilian act.

Anoka showed her to a room, where she saw neji standing in front of the room.

Neji opened the door of the room for her to enter. Tenten just stood in staring in awe of the beauty and luxury of the room. Almost everything in the room was made of gold and the bed was king sized. Tenten noticed from the corner of her eye that Anoka was watching her closely. She then put her hand on her waist "At home we had more gold than this and some of this look similar. It makes me feel nostalgic." She said an d noticed that the woman stopped watching her closely and diverted her attention to neji who was busy inspecting the room. His face betrayed no emotions. Tenten knew that he was checking for all the security devices installed in the room. He suddenly turned to the woman and gave her a questioning glare making the woman back away.

"Please miss be sure to ring that bell if you need any services" she said pointing to a gold bell on a small reading table in the extra large room. The woman left the room immediately.

Neji turned to face tenten who was now giving him a questioning look. "Miss yuri I will be in the next room and please be sure to call to my attention any of your needs." He said bowing and exiting the room. Tenten then understood that they were under tight security, making the mission more complicated.
