Neji raced to Tenten, having found her with his Byakugan. Before she could realize what was happening, Neji had appeared behind her. Tenten's eye's widened, she hadn't expected Neji to come up behind her.
Tenten jumped off her tree branch in an attempt to get away from the prodigy. But he quickly followed. They fought with kunai and other weapons, trying to get at one another.
Again and again they fought, all most as in a trance like dance. They couldn't think about the next move, they could only let their bodies do the work for them.
Tenten's thoughts and movements became more blurred to her control. She felt and looked like she was drunk. Her body and mind swayed as she fell to the ground.
She could barely hear Neji calling for her to wake up. But her body refused to listen. She only wanted to wake up before her nightmares returned.
Neji was in a state of panic, his teammate had just fainted in the middle of sparring. He had noticed that she wasn't doing well the past few days, but he didn't think it was that bad.
He did the only thing he could do. He ran for Gai and Lee. He hoped that they could help deal with the unconscious Tenten.
"Gai-sensei, Tenten… fainted… a few minutes… ago." Neji said panting to his sensei as he showed how fast he ran to insure his unconscious teammate would be all right.
Tenten was shaking violently when Neji, Gai, and Lee found her on the field. They wondered what had caused her to shake so violently. Quickly they rushed her to the hospital.
Tenten on the other hand was watching in horror as her nightmares continued. She was close to tears as she felt the after affect of the Mangenko Sharingan, she could still fell the red eyes staring into hers, driving pain into her.
Words and other deathly chants were singing through her mind.
I weave through the darkness, I look through the forest. Once upon the land of dreams, darkens to my sight. And the nightmare continues through the night's hour. This story once told, never again.
She was silently hoping this chant would end, but it never did. She tried to think of the song her mother would sing. She was trying to think of the words, but all for nothing. (A/n The following song is one I wrote.. or I think so...)
Summer days, come my way.
As I call to you, I dream of you.
Once spoken of, once told to me.
Summer days come my way.
I look for you, my friend.
Your smile can be as warm,
As any summer day.
Come little one, dream of summer.
Winter once again, forgotten.
Spring's beauty like no other.
Fall's warmth is here for you.
So close your eyes,
And dream of summer sun.
It's here once again,
All for you.
Close your eyes,
Dream of me and summer.
You can fly higher than before
All in summer days.
As she was singing the song, she heard the song be sung with three people. She looked to see who it was.
Neji, Lee, and Gai-sensei were singing the song she knew so well.(A/n haha.. them singing a song..lullaby..together) But soon that wonder, turned into a nightmare once again.
They began chanting the chant she had tried so hard to not hear. Horror's flashed in her mind. She tried to scream, only for nothing to come out. Nothing was happening, she was in a panic. She ran and ran, only to come to darkness.
In her panic she tried to sing again, but still her voice wouldn't work. The sight of death, darkness, and betrayal. But her true horror was seen. The sight of blood, the very blood of those she cared for.
The sticky red blood ran through her fingers as she saw herself kill them. Nothing was working, only more horrors were seen. She couldn't take much more of this.
"Tenten-chan, help…me" The voice of Neji said. She backed away, only to run into Lee. Like Neji he was also dieing, the blood, not only could she see it, she could also smell it and touch it as well.
She screamed...
A faint beeping sound could be heard as Tenten opened her eyes. Her blurred eyesight saw white and a few people. As her sight got better, she could not tell where she was.
Three very familiar people were next her. As she looked to her left and right she could see Gai-sensei, Lee, and Neji. But she wondered where she was.
"Oi… where am I?" Tenten asked in a weak raspy voice. The three looked at her.
"You're in the hospital" Neji replied. "Oh… what happened?" Tenten asked looking distressed.
"We don't know, but the doctor says you can leave soon" Gai-sensei told her.
"Ok, well thank you for coming… I guess I get some more sleep." She told them. Gai and Lee took this as their cue to leave, but Neji stayed. He wanted to know what had happened his female teammate.
"Tenten, what happened?" Neji asked and demanded to her. Tenten looked confused for a moment, she didn't know what Neji was referring to.
"Why did you pass out so suddenly?" Neji said trying to make it easier for both himself and Tenten.
"I'm not really sure." Tenten lied not looking at him. "Quit the crap Tenten, you know what happened." Neji stated angrily. Tenten looked up with pain in her eyes.
"Neji, I've just been having a hard time sleeping lately." Tenten explained. Neji looked at her with his lavender Byakugan eyes, looking for any sign of her lying. "Go on." Neji urged her, his eyes calculating her every movement, emotion, and possibly, thought.
Tenten shivered under thing gaze, it made her feel so vulnerable. Like she had a chance at fighting him. "Well, what else is there to say? I've been having nightmares and its been taking its toll on me." Tenten said shrugging.
Neji looked like he didn't believe her, but he would question her later. "Hn, fine." Neji said as he closed the door behind him.
