Hey, here's chapter 3. I guess since I'm new, it will take a while for me to get the hang of things here…But here we go…………….
Chapter 3 Tenten's Decision
Tenten shifted In her bed. She sat up looking at her window, reaching under her mattress she pulled out a kunai and threw it at her opening window. She heard a grunt and saw Neji fall, catching himself. "Oh, Neji, I'm sorry, I thought it was someone else" She said getting off her bed and walking to him. Her Kunai nearly grazed the top of his arm. "Good morning to you too.." Neji mumbled as he griped his arm.
She grabbed some bandages. "Take off your shirt Neji, I need to clean it" she said smiling, a small blush over her face. Neji and tenten had been dating for a while, they knew what would happen if they ever attempted physical contact. They both understood the terms, the most they ever did was kiss, lightly. Neji removed the kunai, it being ripped on the arm. "I'll get that fixed for you.." she said.
Neji waited calmly as she wrapped the cut on his arm. He could tell something was wrong with her, the whole time he was there she never made eye contact, her hands were nervous wrapping his cut. "So, did Lee wake up, I bet he's training alrea-" tenten was cut off by Neji's voice. "What's wrong with you?" he asked, placing his hand over her's. Tenten tensed, then released, relaxing her body. "Neji, today, I was training with Jiraiya-sama, and Naruto" she said sighing. "I learned a new technique, that I know I wont be able to master unless I train with them more" she said standing, walking over to her bed.
Neji stood, putting his shirt back on. "And what's wrong with that, Lee will still be out for a couple of weeks, it will be good for you" Neji said. Tenten looked down. "Jiraiya-sama said he's leaving with Naruto tomorrow.." she said sighing. Neji nodded. "So you wont be able to master the technique with out Jiraiya-sama" Neji said staring at her, he held her hand. "Neji…I want to continue to learn this technique, he knows a lot about my mother, I want to learn more of her" she said staring him in the eyes. "I'm sure when he returns he'll let you learn the technique" Neji smiled lightly to her. "It's not that simple.." tenten said standing. Neji stood along with her. "…He wants me to leave with him" she said.
Neji looked down at Tenten, shocked by her words. His arms were at his side, fists in balls. "I'm sorry.." Tenten said in a low voice. "...I'm not sure what I want" she said after a moment. Neji turned to the side, his girlfriend, comrade, best friend just old him that she might be leaving him, to learn new techniques. "If you go, when do you leave?" he asked, holding back the anger in his voice. "Tomorrow.." she said still not making eye contact. Neji turned to the door, putting his hand on the handle. "I hope you choose what's best for you" he said leaving. Tenten fell to her knee's, her decision was hard enough, it didn't help that Neji didn't stay to comfort her. She didn't know what to do
Later…
Tenten finally managed to get out of her house. After Neji left that morning, she started packing. Her decision still wasn't finale, but she packed in case. She walked through the Forrest of the training grounds where she was with naruto and Jiraiya the previous day. She looked down at her hand, thinking of the jutsu. She started performing hand sings. "Summoning Jutsu" She said throwing her hand down onto the ground. Again the attempt to the jutus failed. Suki appeared in his little fox form again.
He grinned. "Do you have any Mochi, Tenten-Sama?" suki asked. Tenten smiled, petting Suki's head. "I'm sorry no, but the next time I summon you, I promise to have Mochi waiting for you" She said. Suki purred as tenten petted his head. "Aoi, Tenten-chan" Naruto yelled coming up from behind her. "Hey Naruto-kun" she said bending down to pick up Suki. Naruto instantly glared at the little ball of fur. "Let's go hang out tenten-chan" Naruto said grabbing Tenten's hand and pulling her and suki. "Naruto, where are we going?" tenten asked as she ran to keep up with him and not trip. "you'll see" Naruto said making it to a small stream. He pulled off his shirt and pulled down his pants quickly, leaving nothing but his boxers. He jumped into the water, howling.
Tenten blinked at naruto. He stared swimming around. "Come one, get in" Naruto cheered. "The water's great" he replied. Tenten gave him a cold stare. "Naruto, I am a girl, I can just go strip like you and jump in" She said, a small blush on her face. Naruto blushed. "I've seen the female body before, it wont matter" he said swishing around in the water. Tenten glared, her blush deepened. "Baka!" she yelled picking up a rock, she knew a kunai would leave a open wound, so a rock wouldn't be too bad. She threw the rock, hitting Naruto. Like an idiot he didn't move and go hit, falling into the current of the water. Tenten gasped, putting down suki.
"Naruto!" Tenten yelled as she searched the water. There was no sign of the boy anywhere. She jumped in the water, fighting the current to get to the bottom of the stream. Naruto was down there, his foot caught between two rocks. (I have no idea how that happened…) Tenten came up for air then rushed back down into the water, getting the boy lose. She pulled him up to the bank, panting, the water was strong, it was hard for her to get herself, and naruto out. She laid him on his back. "Naruto!" she yelled shaking him.
Tenten stared down at Naruto, he wasn't breathing. She tried to remember some of the survival steps she learned in the academy. She tilted Naruto's head back, leaning down and putting her lips to his, pushing air into his body. She held the position for a moment, until naruto came conscious. She sat back, sighing. "Baka, why didn't you dodge it?" she said glaring, but smiled with relief, knowing the boy would be ok. Naruto sat up, he didn't say anything. "Naruto you ok..?" she asked, blinking at him. Naruto smiled, a blush on his face. "Tenten-chan, you kissed me" He said grinning. "NO!, it was…and attempt to save you…"
Tenten's worried eyes turned into a glare. "Naruto. You. Were. Conscious. The. Whole. Time" Tenten said glaring deeply at Naruto. Naruto started to slowly scoot his body away, tenten looked mad. "Would you kill me if I said yes?" naruto asked getting to is feet, running. "I didn't mean to, it was an accident!" Naruto yelled as he ran. Tenten was quick on his heels. "Accident, yeah right, you sat there and let me do it, you enjoyed it you little twit!" she yelled. Tenten caught up to Naruto, grabbing him and hitting him on the head. Naruto merely laughed. "What's so funny, did I not hit you hard enough Baka?" Tenten glared down at him. Naruto laughed again. "NO, it hurt, but that's not what I'm laughing it" He said smiling. "Then what are you laughing at?" She said. "Your face, it was red" Naruto smirked. Tenten flushed. "Wha….NO!…I…aagrh" Tenten glared, hitting the boy again.
Tenten walked home, leaving naruto stuck in a tree. She crossed her arms. "Face is red, Ha, why would my face be red. Stupid Baka.." Tenten said angrily. "Who's a Baka?" Tenten turned around to see Hinata, smiling back. "Eh..oh it was nothing Hinata-Sama" Hinata replied. "Tenten-Kun, w-we are having a m-meeting….T-Tsunade-sama has called for a m-meeting to-today.." Hinata replied. Tenten nodded. "Thank you for telling me Hinata-sama" Tenten smiled. "um..H-have you seen N-n-naruto-K-kun?" Hinata asked, a deep blush on her face. Tenten smiled. "Down at the creek near the open fields" Tenten replied. "I was training with him earlier…" she said.
Hinata nodded, going on her way. Tenten headed down to the Hokage's office. She didn't know if she could face Neji, not after the talk they had that morning. She was too nervous. She sighed walking up the steps, many shinobi running up and down the steps in a hurry. Something was going on, but what was it. She jumped to the side to avoid a man running, it seemed he wasn't going to stop.
She walked up the steps to the Hokage's office. Sighing as she got to the door. She stood there a moment before going in. 'I wonder what this meeting is about?..' She questioned herself before going in. She stood at the door, hearing Jiraiya voice, with Tsunade. "You know what's happening, why risk it?" she heard Jiraiya say. "It's not that simple Jiraiya, you know the rules" Tsunade barked back. "I'm not going to let the children of both my students go rot" Jiraiya said. "Nothing can be done" Tsunade yelled back at him. "A lot can be done, I'm taking them both out of the village tomorrow." He said. "I forbid you!" Tsunade yelled.
"It has to be done, Tsunade, you know this.." Jiraiya said in a calmer tone. "But, it wont be good on her team. With Lee-kun in the hospital and N-" tsunade was cut off. "Tsunade, it's a set deal, I'm taking her tomorrow. We are going to leave the village, and we are not returning for three years" He said. Tenten was leaned against the door, obviously they were speaking of her. "Tenten. Come in!" Tenten blushed. She was caught.
Preview of Chapter 4:
The three stood at the gate. The Konnoha Nine standing behind them. "it looks like your going to become stronger again eh Naruto-Kun?" said lee. Naruto smiled to the boy on the crutch. "Yes, I want to get stronger. I'm sure you will be strong as well, when I get back, I'll show you all my new Jutsu I learn." Naruto grinned his foxy grin. "B-be careful Naruto-kun" she said hiding behind a blush. Tenten kept her eye's from drifting to Neji. She knew they would be glaring back at her. "Tenten-Chan, get stronger" Tenten turned to her teammate, lee. He was giving her the 'good-guy pose' Tenten smiled. "I will Lee-Kun" she smiled. Tenten turned to face Neji, keeping her eyes down. "Good bye Neji, I-" she was cut off by his lips on hers. Neji didn't care anymore, everyone could find out their secret. Naruto blinked at them. Tenten was flushed. "Don't die out there Baka" he said with a smirk. Tenten smiled, hugging him.
