1Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
A/N The last chapter was short so I decided to start writing this one as soon as it was posted. That and its pouring outside so I don't have to much to do. Thank you to my one reviewer and Vampire Yume, I feel better knowing someone likes this story. :)
Tenten's POV
Temari jumped out the window, after moving out of my way she looked back to wait for me. I hit the ground running, looking back only to make sure that she was following me at a similar speed to keep up. I ran from the Orphanage to my house many times in the dark, I knew the route perfectly, as well as any little things that will interfere with running. I warned Temari when she would have to jump over cracks the didn't appear until they had caused you to fall, as well as the little things you would need to know, like crossing the street to avoid drunk people coming out from bars. It was a quick run as usual, seeing as Temari was able to keep up the entire time.
My house was nothing to stare at. There was only one floor, because my mother and I really didn't need much more. Also neither of us spent a lot of time here. She would work as much as possible, putting her in a bad mood most the time when it was just the two of us. To avoid her when she was like this, I would spend most my time at Sakura's place. Ino's place was okay, her mother was cheerful and everything, but her place always had a strong scent of flowers due to the flower shop beneath their place.
I walked around to the door at the back of the house. I tried to open it. Someone had fixed the lock. This meant that someone had been through here. The lock on the back door had been broken for as long as i could remember. Luckily I had thought of this before leaving the Orphanage. I figured unlike Sakura's, Ino's and Hinata's houses that had entrances that were undetectable unless you knew where they are, this would have been fixed if they don't want anyone getting in the house. I pulled out my lock pick kit. I started playing with the lock on the back door. After a minute I heard the lock click, it was open.
I opened the door and headed straight for my mom's room. I opened it, expecting the room to have not changed. It was the same as always, it was a mess. I start going through the stuff on the floor while Temari looked through the papers on her bed. I found nothing so I started going through her drawers, with still no luck. I remembered that my mom always hid her money in a box filled with old toys and clothes at the back of her closet, she may have hidden some other important things there as well. I walked past Temari who was searching the shelves to the closet. I crawled through to the back of the closet looking for the box. I opened it and reached for the bottom. I felt the familiar box that held the money. I pulled that out and stuck it next to me. I kept searching through the box for something else. I found a folder filled with papers. There was nothing else in the box that could be important.
I crawled back out of the closet with both folder and money box in hand. Temari looked at me as I came out. "Find anything interesting?"
"Sure did, found a folder in the spot reserved for hiding anything important. We should wait until we are back with everyone else before we open it though."
"Makes sense, we don't want to lose anything in this mess. Think we will find anything else if we search the rest of the house."
"Not unless your looking for alcohol, old food, or TV. I just want to grab some stuff from my room before we head back."
Temari followed me as I ran down the hall to my room. I knew exactly what I wanted from there. From my dresser I grabbed a familiar box. I had owned for years, filled with stuff from these past few years. It was something that I knew wouldn't have been shipped over, so I was planning to come back and get it. I might as well grab it now that I'm here.
We headed back out through the door again. I took a second to make sure it was closed properly. There was nothing we could do about the lock, but hopefully whoever put it there wouldn't realize that it was someone else's handiwork that opened the lock.
From the house we headed back to the Orphanage where we would meet up with everyone else to share what we found.
A/N- Another short and quick update. I bet your all getting the idea that something is going on, and hopefully are starting to realize that they are all grabbing a similar random box, maybe... Ino, Lee, Gaara and Kankuro. Read the next chapter to find out what happens. The short chapters will soon disappear. Right now I just want to give the basics as to what is happening at each house.
