In the Last Chapter

They separated, both of them facing different direction. Tenten wrapped her arms around herself, crying. Neji had his hands in a fist, crying as well, and managed to say "Good bye…" and without any other word, he left for the Hyuga compound.

'Maybe I should as well forget about him, for our own sake. I should…I wanted to spend my life with him,…I should forget about it…' Tenten thought.

'Tenten, I love you, I will do whatever I can so we can be together again. Please be alright and take care of yourself.' Neji thought as he made his way out of the monument.

Chapter 5: Sadness in Your Eyes

Outside the Hyuga Compound

The two young Hyugas just arrived outside of the Hyuga compound from where they were. Hyuga Neji a while ago with Tenten and Hyuga Hinata a while ago with Uzumaki Naruto (A/N: Does anyone know the surname of Tenten?)

"So, did Naruto-san agree?" Neji said, and you could clearly read his face, he wore a very sadden face.

"It doesn't seem so." Hinata answered, her head down low. "How about you and Tenten-chan?"

"My luck has just ran out, Hinata-sama. What did Naruto-san say to let you stay here?"

"He said that…'If we love each other dearly, we have to let each other go. And we have to face our responsibilities.' What did Tenten-chan say to you?"

"She said…'Love also needed some sacrifices. If we really love each other, we have to sacrifice.' She wanted me to stay here, us to stay here, for the sake of our clan."

"We have no choice then." They entered the Hyuga compound with sad looks on their faces and with Hiashi standing at the gate waiting for them. He was suppose to start scolding them for arriving home after the suns has set but stopped when he saw the saddened looks on their faces. "You have told them, I just know it. I am really sorry Hinata, Neji" He said to himself a tear went down from his eye.

Hokage's Office

"Where is she?!! She's late!! She's never been late!! She already knew that her one week break has already due but she's not here!!" Tsunade kept shouting at the team of Tenten, but the thing is, Tenten wasn't there.

"Where could she be?" Lato (A/N: see chapter 1 about Lato) said in a worried tone.

There was then a knock on the Tsunade's office. She was kind of irritated today since Tenten never showed up. All she wanted to meet was Tenten and not anyone else. "Who… is …it?!" She said, gritting her teeth with a little growl on the words she said.

"Rock Lee, Hokage-sama. May I come in?"

"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!! ALL I WANT TO SEE IS TENTEN!!"

On the other side of the door, Lee was taken aback by the hokage's words. 'So what the people have been saying were true. Tenten hasn't gone home for a week.' He then managed to say "Tsunade-sama, it's about Tenten that I'd like to talk about." So then Tsunade let him in.

"What is it about her, Lee-san?" Tsunade said, with her calm self.

"A lot of the villagers said that she hasn't gone home. Even her neighbors are worried about her since she's nowhere to be found."

"Nani?!!" All those in the room said in shock, except for Lee. (I mean like, why would he do that…he's the one who told them)

"Yes, Tsunade-sama. I am beginning to worry about her."

Tsunade let out a deep sigh. 'I think I know why she hasn't gone back home until now.'

"Alright then, if that's the case, I myself am also worried about her. Go look for her and bring her back here as soon as possible, and alive, alright?"

"Hai." They all said.

When they were about to leave, she called out "Rock Lee!! May I speak with you for a moment?"

"What is it, Tsunade-sama?"

"I think I know why she hasn't gone home up until now. It's been three days after her one week break; she should have come by here already, right?"

"Right! But what is the reason that she hasn't gone home." Lee questioned with a very worried look on his face.

'Where do I start?' Tsunade thought. "Well, Lee…uhm…you have already known that Tenten and Neji has gone really close with each other."

"Yes, I have already known that." Lee replied sadly.

"But…" Lee's face lightened a bit, but of course not making it obvious, when he heard that word from Tsunade. "But…the thing is…the Hyuga clan needed let Hinata find a fiancé since she's turning eighteen this December and her fiancé should be one of those in the clan to preserve their bloodline limit."

"And her fiancé is Neji, isn't it?" Lee said, yet in his mind, these were the thoughts that were running 'Ha! You're finally out of the way, Neji-san! I just hope that she would forget about you and move on. I hope she could love me the way she loves you.'

"Yes, they were forced to marry each other."

"An arranged marriage, Tsunade-sama?"

"Yes. So please, find her. And I know that you're one of those best people who could help her and talk her out through it."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama. I'll try my best." He was about to leave the office but stopped at thought of Naruto. Hinata and Naruto were together before this whole 'arranged marriage' was announced. He turned around and asked "Tsunade-sama. How about Naruto-san? How has he been?"

"You know of Hinata and Naruto? Well, news spread throughout the village fast…He's been terrible!! That's how I knew of this arranged marriaged."

"Just as I thought…how did he spill it? I mean like, he wouldn't do such a thing, right Tsunade-sama?"

"Well, Ino found him drunk on the street, all messed up, so Ino took him here to me right away for treatment. It seems like he's drinking himself off out of his depression."

"So when he was drunk, he just said everything?"

Tsunade nodded. "I'm letting Ino take care of him for the mean time and since she doesn't have students herself, she would be the substitute for him. All she could let them do is train, no mission for them until Naruto is his old plain noisy, babbly self again. I just hope Ino could take it easy on him. I already told her as well to let Naruto talk out through about Hinata. I hope she won't get high-tempered, knowing of his current condition right now."

Lee just laughed at what he had heard from the hokage and thought 'Ino can be a hot-head sometimes. But she really cares a lot for others, especially for Naruto, ever since he made it possible to defeat Orochimaru (She has started to care for him knowing that he has really matured in and out) I know she'll be patient around him. Well actually Tsunade-sama, you don't know a half bit about Yamanaka Ino'

"So please find her as soon as possible" With that said, he nodded for a reply, bowed down to show respect before he left her office.

So he made his way out of the office and the tower to find Tenten. 'Finally, Neji-san's out of the way. But it saddens me to know that the Hyuga clanners broke both your heart. Well, Neji-san, at least you have Hinata, Hanabi and Hiashi to comfort you, unlike Tenten, she must be really miserable. I should really find her.'

'Tenten-chan, where are you?' Lee thought, panting for breath, looking for Tenten for the past two hours around Konohakagure.

He then met up with Sai (who of course was also looking for her since he's in her team!), "Sai, did you find her already?"

"I haven't Lee-san. Come to think of it, I am really getting worried myself about her. Have you seen her?"

"I haven't yet. We've been searching for the past two hours around Konohakagure but she's nowhere to be found." Lee continued. "We shouldn't loose hope! We have to find her no matter what!!"

So the two split to two different direction finding Tenten.

Then a thought just came up to Lee's mind. He stopped 'The only place that I haven't gone to yet is the Hokage monument.' He looked up there, and then ran as quickly as possible hoping to find her there.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

With Tenten

'I want to die.' She thought, her arms still wrapped around herself. 'But dieing right away wouldn't be much fun at all' She chuckled a little. 'Jumping of this monument shows that I don't really face the obstacles in life, that I'm a coward…I'd kill myself slowly then.' 'And maybe there might be a chance for me to change my mind.' She chuckled again. 'Like would that be even possible?'

She looked at Konoha with sadness in her eyes. 'I don't know if I could live through this, Neji-kun. Half of me says to just jump of this fuckin' monument and all my problems are solved. I wouldn't have anymore difficulties already. But the other half says that I should still live. There are still so many things I have missed and that I should stay. Killing myself won't do me any good, it says. Killing myself would lead me straight to hell. Is there even hell in--"

She was cut off when someone said her name. "Tenten-chan."

"Leave me alone, Lee! I don't want to see anyone right now." Tenten said, with a hint of sadness in the words she was saying.

"But Tenten-chan, you're killing yourself. You haven't eaten a single thing for a week now." "I know since you haven't gone home for the past week and it really shows, your body is a lot weaker than before." He muttered under his breath.

"How would you even know, hm?!! Didn't I just tell you to LEAVE ME ALONE?!!"

"So many people are worried about, Tenten. They nee--"

He was cut off by Tenten with the words. "Need me?!! They need me?!! For what?!! No one needs me in this world, Lee!! So leave me alone!! I know I'll just be trouble to your life."

'But we do need you, especially me. I need you most especially in my life.' "Tenten! I'm…we're just being worried about you! Doesn't that show enough that someone or some people still cares?!" He grabbed her by her right wrist.

"Let me go!! I want to be left alone!! Damn it!!" She tried to get away from his grip but he was just too strong.

So he grabbed her other wrist so she wouldn't keep moving and continued. "You're whole team is looking for you right now, Tenten!! Even Tsunade-sama is really worried about you!! She wants to see you right now." He calmed down. "So please, go to Tsunade-sama. It would be a lot more of a trouble you not being around. And there would be less trouble when you're here to help. So please, don't make us worry too much or you'll give us a heart burn." Lee loosens his grip.

Tenten laughed a bit, hearing the words that they could have a heart burn if she's not around. Her head was still low, a tear scrolled down her face.

"Tenten-chan. Please don't cry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--" Lee tried to comfort her but he was cut off.

"No. It's alright, Lee-san. I'll go. I'm okay now. Knowing that I am still needed and loved by some people, well, that's enough."

"Are you sure?" 'I don't know how to talk to her about Neji-san. How?'

"Yes. Let's go."

Hokage's Office

"Tenten!! You're finally here!! You're alright!!" Tsunade shouted out, happy to see Tenten alright and safe.

"I'm here, Hokage-sama. Need anything?" She said, giving out a fake smile.

Her team then just got in the office. "Tenten-chan!! You're here!! You're alright!!" They all cried out. She just gave them a fake smile.

She turned back to Tsunade for an answer to her question a while ago. "No, nothing. I just wanted to see you. You better go home, take a rest."

She then followed her order and got out of the office. She then said "All of you, please go home. It's already late and you took around 2 hours to look for your team leader. I'll just call you if there are any missions to take. Accept my apology that I wouldn't allow letting Tenten join any mission with you for the mean time since I wouldn't want Tenten to join just yet. She has gone through a lot already." Everyone nodded and left. Tsunade then again called Lee before he could leave. "Lee, I don't think she's alright at all. Please take care of her well. And try your best to talk her out through about Neji. The next time I see her, I want her to be back in spirit, you got that?"

"Hai!"

"Dismissed!!"

So Lee then left the hokage's office and saw Tenten, just sitting on one of the steps of the stairs, clearly there were sadness in her eyes.

"Tenten. I'll bring you home. And please, take care of yourself, it hurts me to--"

Tenten cut him off. "Enough, Lee-san. I know I should be going home and so I will. You don't have to bring me home. I can take care of myself, Lee-san"

Well that's that…chapter five. To tell you the truth, I just got the idea of putting Naruto and Ino together in this chapter, it just like, popped out of nowhere!! Anyways, please no flames all you those whom hate Naruto and Ino together, for me, they just sound interesting and nice. Anyways, I know it would be hard for Naruto to defeat the legendary snake-nin but I am looking forward to that one faithful day that he will defeat him.

The clock has just struck 12:00 a.m. of January 1, 2007 here in the Philippines(when I submitted this)...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naruto: Neji-san just read chapter 1 'till 5 and you're so in trouble!! But I won't beat you up, since I became ever so strong in defeating Orochimaru himself. HAHAHAH!!
Kyoko: What the fuck!! No!!
Neji: KYOKO!! YOU LET ME BREAK TENTEN'S HEART!! (Tenten just arrived in the scene)
Tenten: Neji-kun. What are you talking about?!! You never broke my heart!!
Neji: (just noticed Tenten by the door, his fist was just millimeters away from Kyoko but stopped upon seeing Tenten) Read that!! (gave fanfic to Tenten)
Tenten: Oooooh! Is this a fanfic?!! I love fanfics!!
Hinata: Neji-neekun!! Please, don't punch her!! She's still very young!! Just wait for what lies ahead Neji-neekun. Things might brighten up!!
Neji: Yeah! You're right…where's chapter six?!!
Kyoko: Phew! Thanks, Hinata-chan. For the third time ( I think) you saved my ass!!
Hinata: Hehehe
Neji and Naruto: KYOKO!! WHERE'S CHAPTER SIX?!!
Kyoko: How the fuck would I know?!! You dumb pervert (regarding Naruto) disarranged my stuff and so we have to clean it all up, pile it in, arranged them once again so it would be easier to find it.
Naruto: What did you just call me?!!
Kyoko: Oh…nothing…nothing!!
Tenten: Men!! It's a mess here!! I would gladly help but I have to read this first before I could help out.
Neji: It's alright, Tenten. Just hurry in reading so you could help us…BYAKUGAN!!
Hinata: BYAKUGAN!!
Kyoko: Shit!! It would be easier to find the other chapters with both their Byakugan's!! I'm doomed… Come to think of it, they are all older than I am, but I act like I'm as old as them. Weird!! I should give them a little respect, 'coz hey! They're fifteen right now or sixteen (in the fanfic…17 or 18 or 19…don't forget that) and I should show some little courtesy. Sigh…I think my luck is as dull as Lee's, just like in the next chapter. GOD!! ... Hey!! Why am I thinking of this all of a sudden!! Baka!!
