Please

TenTen smiled and brushed her fingers along the cool sharp metal in front of her. She was spending her free time looking through the weapons at the shop and occasionally buying one when it wasn't too expensive. TenTen turned and looked at a finely made katana with something close to wonder on her face, a smile widening the slightest before fading again.

Temari, who stood next to her with a part desperate expression on her face, winced. All of TenTen's friends had been trying to get her to genuinely smile for the past three weeks since Neji and TenTen just seemed to rip apart. Since then, TenTen hadn't given them that many genuine smiles, only smiling slightly around Lee and Gai or when she was handling her beloved weapons.

TenTen turned and gave Temari a forced smile, "Want to go spar?" she asked, gently placing the katana back.

Temari sighed and nodded before following TenTen out the door and into the training grounds. Right before they were about to attack Temari interrupted, "Why TenTen?"

TenTen gave a slightly vacant look, "Why…..?"

Temari's eyes flashed as she slammed her fan down in the ground, "Damn it TenTen! we know that you're upset and all but why are you pushing us away?!?!"

TenTen looked at Temari's furious face before giving her a genuine apologetic smile, "You're right Tem, I'm sorry."

Temari blinked and gave TenTen a tired smile, "It's all right Ten, you just had me, us, worried a bit."

TenTen smiled at Temari, her lips rising slightly and her eyes slightly pained, "I know I'm acting like a complete pathetic weakling but…… but I didn't just lose someone I loved you know…. I lost my best friend….. practically a family member…."

Temari sighed and tugged her fan out of the dirt, "You should talk to Sakura about that. if Shikamaru left me behind I'd just kick his ass."

TenTen gave Temari a wry smile, "That's actually a very good idea….. I'm gonna go visit Hinata," she added randomly before wandering off in the direction of the Hyuuga Compound.

Temari watched her go and raised her eyebrows, "At least I got her to smile," she muttered before marching off to Shikamaru to complain a little.

TenTen looked at the guard that was barring her way with contemptuous, amused eyes. "You're seriously trying to stop me?" she asked, her lips rising to a smirk.

The guards flinched slightly as the weapons began to float around her, "It's orders by Hiashi-sama that you are not to enter the Hyuuga Compound!"

TenTen looked at the guards before smiling in amusement. She cocked her head to the side and began filled her hands with chakra. She sprinted straight toward the gate and smacked her hands down to the ground, giving her leverage. Her flip landed her at the top of the gate, her triumphant smile apparent on her face. She flipped lightly back to the ground and began walking away, ignoring the guards' calls to get back there.

She had to dodged a few people and sneak around to get to Hinata's room, but finally she succeeded. She quietly opened the window to Hinata's room and peeked in. "TenTen!" Hinata hissed in surprise as she saw TenTen's tired face framed by her window.

"Hey Hina," TenTen said calmly, "Can I come in?"

Hinata blinked then nodded rapidly, quickly backing away from the window. TenTen jumped down lightly without a single bit of noise and gave Hinata a genuine grin, "Never did like your family."

Hinata smiled weakly, very glad that TenTen was starting to smile again. "Why did you come?" she asked curiously, her head cocked to the side as she listen to the outraged yells and curses.

TenTen stopped smiling and gave Hinata a distant look, "I…… I needed to talk to him, do you know where he is?"

"Probably his room," Hinata said quietly, begging anyone of divine power that TenTen wouldn't get found out.

TenTen winked her thanks and walked toward the door. She quietly opened and crept out.

TenTen opened the door to Neji's room and was met with shock, "TenTen……" he whispered quietly.

TenTen calmly closed the door behind her, "Hey Neji."

"You shouldn't be here," he said a little more calmly. Both of them could practically feel a part of them flying back to them now that they were together.

TenTen sighed and walked over to him, "I came to say just one thing."

"What?"

TenTen placed her hand on his cheek, "Please Neji," she whispered, "Just please try….. try to come back to me."

Neji stepped back a little, "I can't."

"Can't or won't?"

"Both."

"Please," TenTen begged softly, "Just….. please," she whispered before jumping out his open window and running away.
