2. "…try and kill Neji." Sasuke tries to kill Neji, but Tenten keeps trying to defend him and eventually gets injured by Sasuke.
3. "…snap some sense into you." Sasuke starts to attack Tenten and Neji gets there just in time to save her.

"Then you leave me with no choice, but to take you away from this school." Sasuke glared at me.
"N-No! You can't! Father, he'll-"
"Do what? You don't even know where he is." He snarled at me.
"So? He wanted me to go to this school-"
"Not to fall in love with a vampire! Especially a vampire from the Hyuga Clan!" Sasuke shouted loudly.
"It's not my fault I'm in love with him!"
"You hated vampires!"
"So?! I don't hate them anymore! I've made many vampire friends!"
"Friends? You call them friends? They just want to suck up your blood."
"That's what you think, brother. I'm not leaving this school!"
"Then I'll kill him." I stopped in my tracks and opened my mouth. But… I couldn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. "I'll take his stupid life away from him." He held out his fist.
"Y-You are weaker than him!"
"So? I can still fight. You know I'm a good fighter." I couldn't argue with him, because I knew he was. He was a great fighter for a half breed. Although, I don't think that he's good enough to beat Neji. Neji would get hurt by Sasuke though. I didn't…. want that.
"Don't kill him!" I shouted loudly.
"Then you tell Neji you're leaving the school tonight."
"T-Tonight?! Why tonight? You won't be able to say goodbye to Sakura!"
"… Sakura knows this is what I have to do." I shook my head angrily.
"This is absurd!"
"Absurd or not, you tell him that, or else I'll-" I didn't want to hear it. I fled into the room and slammed it..

Neji looked up. He was sitting on the bed, absolutely silent. Tears streamed from my eyes as I lunged at him and flung my arms around his neck.
"What's wrong?" He asked quietly.
"I… I have to go." Neji was silent.
"What?"
"I have to leave… you." The words were painful. They were stuck in my throat and wouldn't come out. But, the urge to save Neji's life forced them to.
"Why?" He asked again, a little louder.
"I don't… love… you." I managed out.
"… I see." He mumbled. "if you say so." He tried to pry me off of him, but I wouldn't budge. I didn't want to leave him. His scent was addicting. His hair… and his skin. I kissed his neck gently.
"I don't want to leave. Don't make me leave."
"I'm confused Tenten. You just told me that you didn't love me. And that you were going to leave." He mumbled.
"Can't you see? Why can't you read my mind right now? I… Of course I love you, Neji! It's just that…" I whispered. "Sasuke knows about us! And he's threatening to hurt you!"
".. I don't understand."
"I have to leave. Neji. Please understand! I love you." I pulled away from him as he grabbed my wrists and held them tightly to his chest. He glared hard at me with his beautiful, beautiful eyes… I shook my head and tried to pull away.
"You don't have to leave." He glared at me.
"I do! I don't want you to get hurt. Please!" I begged him. He shook his head.
"So you're just going to leave me?" He asked quietly.
"I…. if I don't you'll get hurt. I don't want that. I don't want that at all!" Neji left my hands on his chest and put both his hands on my face firmly. "N-Neji…"
"I promised to protect you and to never leave your side. So how could I keep the promise if you want to leave my side?" He asked quietly. I stared up into his eyes again.
"I…"
"You don't have to do this." He muttered. He shut his eyes and rested his forehead on mine. "If it's a fight he wants, then it's a fight he'll get." He murmured gently.
"But I don't want him to get hurt either…" I began to shut my eyes and just relax against his touch. Neji gently took his finger and brushed away a tear.
"Well, then I won't hurt him either. I'll just make sure he does not separate us." He kissed my lips gently. Knowing that I wanted more, he pulled away and laid me gently on the bed. "You should rest." I shook my head and clung onto him.
"Y-You should too! I mean, you did get hurt earlier. Remember? When you were trying to protect me from that vampire and-"
"Don't strain yourself, love." He kissed her forehead. "Rest." I pulled him down next to me.
"You promised to stay by my side…" I murmured quietly. He nodded. "So please don't leave.." I snuggled and inhaled his heavenly scent. He sighed quietly and put his hand behind my head and held me close.
"Are you really going to leave?" He asked quietly. My eyes remained shut. I didn't want to think about it now.
"Tonight… with Sasuke."
"You don't have to, you know. I'll do whatever I can to protect you."
"I know. But, I don't want you to get hurt. I won't forget you, Neji. I promise I won't."
"I'm not worried about you forgetting me. I'm afraid that I won't ever get you out of my mind. No matter where you'll be, you'll always have my heart, right? I did give it to you." I rested my head against his chest and wrapped my arms tightly around his waist.
"Yeah." I mumbled quietly.
"I'm going to go with you." My eyes opened and I looked up at him. He continued to run his fingers through my hair.
"With me?"
"When you leave with Sasuke tonight. I'm going to come and make sure you stay. I'll do whatever I can… to make sure that we're not separated. Do you want that, Tenten?" I didn't know what to say. "Do you want to stay with me?"
"Yeah." I whispered quietly and looked away from him. Neji kissed my forehead.
"I didn't hear you, Tenten. Do you want to stay with me?" Tears streamed down my eyes as I looked up at him.
"I… I don't want to leave you! I never, ever want to leave you." He nodded.
"I understand, Tenten." And before I knew it, I fell asleep to his soft cooing… his soft voice… his calm words… It'll be alright, I love you, we'll be together, I'll never leave you. I wanted to say it back to him, but my mind refused to allow me to wake. Then, the nightmares came. I couldn't really remember… but, I was walking with a backpack over my shoulder. I walked down the school halls to hear, smell, see… blood spluttering.
And I saw both Neji and Sasuke on the ground. There was a dark shadow hovering over the two bodies. It was… ominous. It smelled… and reeked of dried blood. I wanted to scream, but, nothing came. I thought… it had been Neji who killed Sasuke, or Sasuke who'd killed Neji. But, it was someone else. It looked up at me and then my voice came back.
"Don't kill me!!" I screamed, waking up from my sleep, panting. I managed to knock Neji off the bed as he looked at me, shock all over his face. "D-Don't kill me. Don't kill me…" I kept mumbling to myself.
"Are you alright? Was it a nightmare?" He stood up and sat on the bed. Neji leaned casually against the bed frame as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I-It was horrible." I was shaking all over. Neji kissed my lips gently. "Th-There was a… shadow over you and Sasuke's dead bodies. An-And then he came after me… and-" My eyes shut on me as I fell asleep again. Neji held me in his arms this time. I didn't want to let go of him. It was strange to be asleep in the middle of the afternoon, and to be skipping class… but, I'd do anything in the world to be in Neji's arms.

Where am I? I walked through the halls. The same halls as my last nightmare. I walked through the door and was hit with a cool blast of air. The coldness stung my nose as I kept on venturing out. It hurt, but, I didn't go back to the school.
"You shouldn't be out here." It was a cold sting coming from Neji. Tears slowly made their way down my cheek.
"Why are you then?" I asked in return.
"Don't compare yourself to me, human." 'human'…. that was cold. When did he call me that?
"B-But… you promised to turn me into a vampire. Where are you going?"
"I'm just leaving you." He mumbled.
"No don't! You promised to never-"
"But you're leaving me, aren't you?" He asked. The wind blew his long hair as his scent filled my nose.
"I… I have to protect you!"
"Wrong. It's I who have to protect you."
"Protect me from what…" I whispered to him.
"To protect you from becoming something like me… and to protect you from leaving me… Until then." He stood as his dark, shiny, silver wings spread from his back. It reminded me of my brother's… except they were bigger… Then he shot off into the sky… leaving me all alone. Pain spread through my body as the gust of wind hit my body.
"No. No! Come back!!"
"You're nothing but a lousy human. Your life means nothing to me."
-

I screamed and woke up this time. Neji stared down at me, a painful look in his eyes.
"I was reading your mind." He whispered. "Your life is everything to me. I will never leave you like that."
"B-But it's true! I would leave you.."
"…"
"I'm sorry. But it has to be done." I cried. He smiled gently.
"I'm glad you care about me, Tenten. But, you don't need to worry. I'll be fine." He mumbled. "You can stay here…"
"… I don't think I can." I looked out the window. Dark. "I have to…. Leave now." I got out of Neji's arms, and I didn't turn to look at him. I threw my stuff into the backpack. His shoulder slumped down as he stood and walked over to me.
"Tenten. I don't think you're doing the right thing." He glared at me. "You don't want to do this." I kept on throwing things into my bag. He continued to glare at me.
"I don't. But I have to."
"You don't have to do anything!" Neji raised his voice. He wrapped his arms around my neck. "I don't want you to leave." He whispered quietly. I looked down.
"I don't either." I mumbled back to him. "But, it's for your own safety."
"Don't…" I pushed him away.
"I'm.. I'm sorry!" I shouted and ran out the door. Sasuke was waiting there. I stared at him, tears overflowing.
"Tenten. Are you ready?" I let out a scream as I ran past him swiftly. "… Sorry." He mumbled and he took off after me. Meanwhile, Neji was sitting on the floor next to her bed. He looked up at the ceiling.
What did I do wrong? He wasn't getting the message. Sure he was strong, and he could take Sasuke down no problem. He didn't think about my feelings at all. He didn't care if Sasuke got hurt, but I did. I was trying to protect him, but, he knew it was he who was suppose to protect me. That's what he didn't understand. He looked out the window and his eyes widened with anger. No one will take her away from me. He growled. This is… what I have to do.
-

"Wait, Tenten!" Sasuke called after me.
"Stay away!" I screamed. He grabbed my arms and swung me around to face him.
"Can you tell me what I did?"
"You're so stupid! How do you not know?!"
"I.. I did it for your safety! You can't be around vampires. You can't trust vampires!"
"Then I won't trust you either."
"You…. Really shouldn't." He mumbled back. "I can't have you falling in love with a vampire. I'm sorry, Tenten."
"No you're not. You lied to me!" I shouted loudly at him. There was a guilty look on his face. Yeah, that's right. He knew where I was taking this. "You told me that you wouldn't mind if me and Neji were together. I remember it, you remember it. So it should have been alright! Why do you have to do this to me? Why do you have to do this to Neji? I love him, and he loves me! You god damn don't know what the word love means!"
"I do. I just-"
"What? It's forbidden for a vampire and a human to fall in love? Well, the last time I checked, there was never any freaking rule saying that we can't be!" I rambled on loudly.
" Tenten-"
"Shut up!" She screamed. "I don't want to hear it. I-"
"No you shut up! I'm doing this for your own sake. I don't want you… to become one of them." He mumbled. "It's not… what father wanted."
"Oh. So now you know what father wanted, huh? He told me to go to this school. So I am. But you're making me leave? You're just making stupid excuses like- oh, father says that you don't want to become a vampire. That's stupid! It would be better if I were a vampire. I wouldn't be a disgrace to the family!"
"Is that what you think you are?" Sasuke asked quietly. "You aren't a disgrace. Who told you that?"
"… Nobody." I mumbled out. "But I don't want to die as a mere human like mom did!"
"Mom died giving birth to both of us." He glared at me. "You should understand more than anyone else why-"
"She fell in love with dad, a vampire. So why can't I-"
"Shut up! Just listen to me, and leave the school. Alright?!"
"…" I was silent, but nodded and looked down.
"You're not going anywhere."
That voice. My eyes widened as I looked up to see Neji. His hair, blowing in the wind. Just like in my dream. "N-Neji.." I whispered his name. Sasuke growled loudly.
"What do you want?" He snarled.
"Tenten's not going anywhere."
"Why can't you just let her be?! She's just a human! She doesn't need your affectio-" Sasuke never finished.
"She is… just a human. I thought of all people you, Sasuke would know that. There are many humans out there, but her life will never be replaced. No matter how many humans there are. None of their lives are as important to me as yours."
"Shut up. Shut up!" Sasuke snarled and ran at Neji. It was horror. Their wings flapping, and blood spurting. Sasuke bit hard into Neji's shoulder as Neji in return clawed as his arm.
"No! Please don't!" I started to run towards them to be stopped immediately by- "K-Kiba?!"
"Just in time I assume." Sasuke pulled away from Neji and looked at him.
"You could've been sooner." Sasuke was friends with this full breed, the one who wanted to drink my blood.
N-No. Kiba smirked and held my wrists behind my back with one hand, and with the other, he cupped my chin. He lowered his head and sniffed my neck.
"It's… so… tempting." He said in a huskily voice. "I want it now." Neji snarled and ran at Kiba. Sasuke growled loudly and yanked Neji to the ground.
"Neji-.. Ah." Kiba's tongue traveled up my neck.
"Let go of her." Neji kicked Sasuke hard in the stomach. He quickly ran and punched Kiba hard in the face. I lunged into his arms as he embraced me tightly.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" I cried. I pulled away from him.
"It's okay." He whispered to me in his calming voice. "I won't let anyone hurt or touch you again." I smiled at him. But, that smile soon faded away as I saw Sasuke running towards us.
"Neji!" I screamed. His eyes widened as he turned slowly. My body moved involuntarily. It moved on it's own. Running in front of Neji, and taking a punch from Sasuke's clawed fists. I heard 2 sick crackling sounds coming from my stomach as my eyes shut. I wondered if they would ever open again. The thumping of my heart's volume increased. I could hear it in my ears, getting louder… but slower. I felt my whole body go numb, as it hit the ground. The beating of my heart drowned out the surprising yell.
"Tenten!" That's all I remembered hearing before my mind turned off completely.

Thanks for reading!
NEW OPTIONS:
1. Tenten loses her memories of everyone, except Sasuke. And she reverts back to her old self of hating vampires, especially Neji. (I like this one)
2. Tenten is saved, but now the teachers and nurses of the vampire school knows she's a human. They give her two choices. To leave the school, or to become a vampire. (I like this one more!)
3. Tenten is in horrible condition and her father finds out. (insert evil music. bwahaha.)
