Weeks pass by since Neji and Tenten had their argument. In those weeks Tenten had trained hard with Sakura, Sasuke, and Shikamaru. Though Neji came to watch her secretly sometimes. She is now able to attend missions with her team again. Just a little more training and she'll be at her best.

On a bright sunny day, at noon, Tenten was found running through the village noticing that she was half an hour late to meet up with Sakura.

Damn! She'll kill me! Tenten told herself. She sprinted through the crowds of people ignoring the nasty comments until she heard her name.

"Tenten! Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Tenten just kept running but turned her head backwards to respond. "Gomen, Ino. I'm late for something!"

As Tenten started to turn her head back to see where she was going, something hard hit her knocking her to the ground. When she opened her eyes the first thing to come in view was a pair of feet. With shoes on. So don't worry. Tenten instantly knew that she bumped into someone.

"Ah gomen! I wasn't paying attention to where I was running and I was kind of in a rush. Please accept my apologies!" Tenten apologized and as soon as she stood up she bowed in shame and embarrassment.

"Tenten, you don't have to bow down to your friends. Sakura already left so she told me to come find you and tell you the news."

Tenten stood up and recognized that Sasuke was there. His face? Emotionless.

"Ah, sorry, Sasuke." Tenten apologized once again. "What was the news?"

"Sakura said to meet us on that hill at nine." Sasuke explained while pointing out the hill to Tenten.

"Why? Is something going on?"

"No, not at all. Sakura just wants to hang out with everyone I guess."

"Who's everyone?"

"Why so many questions? Me, her, you, Naruto, and Nara."

"Oh, I see. Alright! I'll be there!" Tenten said and smiled.

Sasuke smirked and walked past her.

"See you" He said as a farewell until the night.

"Ja ne" Was Tenten's response.

Tenten walked around Konoha before being stopped by a tap light tap on her shoulder.

"Nani?" She asked while turning around.

"U-um, T-T-Tenten, c-can I talk to y-you alone? A-at my place p-perhaps?" A shy voice asked.

"Hmm? Of course Hinata!" Tenten agreed. They both walked together to the Hyuuga mansion talking about how the day went so far.

When they arrived at the mansion they both walked straight to Hinata's room.

Tenten sat on Hinata's bed while Hinata herself leaned against the wall.

"So what it is Hinata?" Tenten asked.

"U-um…it's Neji-niisan."

Tenten seemed to flinch as his name. "What about him?" She asked in a care free tone.

"W-well ever since you guys h-had your argument, Neji-niisan has seemed to be more angrier. He won't t-train with a-anyone anymore. He only responds w-w-when you ask him a direct question. H-he's not the same anymore." Hinata explained.

"What do you want me to do about it Hinata? He's the one who chose to be who he is and what he does."

"W-w-well, c-can you try t-to talk to h-him. I-it seems like the o-only person he's willing to t-talk to i-is y-you. P-p-please Tenten." Hinata pleaded.

"But how? He hates me."

"No. I don't." A hard voice came from the other side of Hinata's door. Hinata quickly opened it. "N-Neji-niisan! You h-heard everything?"

"Hai." Neji said as he only kept his eyes on Tenten.

"I-I should go." Tenten said as she left Hinata's room and started to walk at a fast paste down the hall.

Someone grabbed her wrist and she spun around to find Neji staring straight into her eyes.

"Neji…"

"This is ridiculous." Neji said coldly.

"What is?"

"We haven't talked in weeks. I'm tired of it."

"Well, didn't you want it this way?"

"Not exactly. I thought that if I didn't spar with you anymore and tried avoiding you, you wouldn't be as tired on missions. I also thought that this way, you wouldn't get hurt. I'm not wrong but I can't stand it anymore. I already brought shame on the clan and I disrespected you. I'm sorry Tenten. But I need you more than you think I do. I want things to go back they were before. Please."

"Neji…" Tenten started. She looked at her wrist which Neji was still holding and pulled it back. "You said some pretty mean things Neji…I'll have to think about it." Tenten said and turned to run out of the mansion.

Neji just stood there emotionless.

It was now eight forty-five. Tenten left her house and headed for the hill. The hill was fairly large. Once Tenten made it to the top she couldn't see the village anymore. It was a flat surface on the hill. There was a nothing but grass in form of a square. The square of grass was probably four football fields large. Around the grass there were trees surrounding it. It was completely dark outside and the only things that were lighting everything up were stars and the moon.

Tenten found a large blanket set up in the middle of the grass with Shikamaru sleeping on it. Or was he sleeping?

Tenten walked over quietly. She placed her sweatshirt that she brought with her down quietly as well, being careful not to wake Shikamaru up.

"Really, Tenten. You don't have to try and be sneaky. Anyone can hear you a mile away." Shikamaru said.

"I'm not that noisy." Tenten said.

"Sure"

"Where are the others at?"

"Not here yet."

"Oh" Tenten sighed and laid down next Shikamaru.

"Have you talked to Neji yet?"

"I don't want to talk about him."

Shikamaru glanced at her. "You know, Tenten, we're all friends here. And friends are here to listen to other friends problems."

"Hai, I know and I'm grateful for that but some of us have to deal with problems on our own."

"How troublesome," Shikamaru stated. "But we can help you solve your problems."

"Ano, Shikamaru-" Tenten started to say before being interrupted.

"TENTEN!! SHIKAMARU!!" Shikamaru didn't even budge but Tenten sat up immediately and turned around to find Naruto waving his hand at them. She also found Sakura and Sasuke walking beside Naruto holding hands.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto, joined Shikamaru and Tenten on the blanket. They all managed to lay in a circle with their heads close together.

"Ahhh, what a beautiful night." Sakura said.

"Hai, it is." Tenten said. "Why did you bring us out here Sakura?"

"Hmm, just a friend's night out I guess."

"HEHE! If feels so good out here!" Naruto said while he stretched out his arms.

Tenten and Sakura chuckled while Sasuke and Shikamaru smirked.

"You know Lee still has feelings for you Sakura?" Tenten asked.

"No way! I thought he was way over it!"

"No, it talked about during training. He says he'll train harder and harder everyday to beat Sasuke."

"Haha, that's not going to happen. Sasuke-kun always wins."

Hearing this, Sasuke took Sakura's waist and pulled her over to him so that he could kiss her on her lips.

"Just because she said you would win doesn't mean you have to show it now Sasuke." Tenten complained.

"Ya! Sasuke! We don't want any smooching going on right now!" Naruto complained as well.

"Stay out of it Naruto." Sasuke said back.

"Hmph."

Just then Sasuke and Shikamaru felt the presence of other people being were there at.

"Nara!" Sasuke whispered.

"Hai. I know." Shikamaru said lazily. "How troublesome."

Tenten stood up from where she was at, looking down at the group.

"I don't get how-" Tenten started to say

"TENTEN!" Sasuke shouted as he bounced up from laying down and tackled Tenten down. All sorts of weapons were throw right where Tenten stood just a second ago.

All the others leaped up and prepared to fight.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked still hovering over her in a protection stance.

"H-hai."

Sasuke got up and pulled Tenten up as well.

Another set of weapons flew at them but Sasuke used his fire ball jutsu to deflect all of them.

"What the hell? We're being ambushed?" Naruto asked.

"It seems that way" Shikamaru answered.

Three sound ninjas appeared in front of the group.

"Deliver this message to your hokage. 'The sound village is taking revenge for Ochrimaru. Prepare for a war.'" One of them said and they all disappeared.

"Nani?!" Sakura asked.

"It's strange. Why would they tell us straight forward to prepare for war when they could of just ambushed Konoha?" Sasuke asked.

"Don't know but we'll have to tell Tsunade-sama tomorrow morning. For now, it's best that we leave and go straight home."

"Right."

So the group left picking all their stuff up and headed their own ways. Sasuke walked Sakura home, Shikamaru walked Tenten home, and Naruto walked himself home.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

"I'll see you tomorrow Shikamaru." Tenten said.

"Hai, ja ne" He said while walking off.

Tenten got ready for bed and lied down. She fell asleep until she heard noises in her house. Oh no, this is bad. She thought to herself. She walked down to the kitchen with a kunai in her hand. Before she knew it something hit her in the head and made her fall unconscious. The mysterious person picked Tenten motionless body up and carried her out of Konoha.

Tenten was being kidnapped.

I hoped everyone liked this chapter! I'll update soon. I'm started a new story about Naruto and the gang going of to camp. It'll be like Sasuke, Neji, and Tenten in one cabin and like Sakura, Hinata, and Naruto in another cabin. Though it will mostly be based on Tenten, Neji, and Sasuke. Thanks to all reviewers again. You guys make me keep writing more. Hehe!
