Ok, sadly I don't own Naruto. T.T. great now I'm depressed…

Chapter 2- the name is Tenten

"y-your aunt?" neji asked in disbelieve. "Yes, unfortunately she's related to me" Tenten said in

dismay. She stood up, she looked down and they started to run again. They slowed down after

a few seconds of running. Tenten sat down again. She ripped same of the bottom of her gown

and tied it around her injured arm. "She's the head of my clan, before I say more what's your

name? And why were you wondering around in the forest at ten pm?" she asked looking at

him. Her eyes looked sad and lonely. Neji knew this because he was familiar with this look.

Ever since he was four, his father's eyes had the same look to them. And now, every time he

looked at himself in the mirror, he would see the same sadness and loneliness in his eyes. "My

name is neji hyuga, branch member of the hyuga clan. I was wondering around to get

something out of my mind. You?" he asked. "Oh, my name is Tenten Hatsumi. Side member

of the Hatsumi clan." Tenten answered with a small sad smile upon her lips. "I was running

away from my family for obvious reasons." She answered. "I assume you were trying to clear

your head from the fact that our fathers no long with us, right?" she asked. ". . . How . . . how

is it that you know what I feel or think?" he asked with his head down. ". . . Like I tolled you

before it doesn't matter." She said in a bored tone. "Oh yes it does my little sweet baby

cousin." Said a new deep and dark voice. Tenten eyes snapped open. Out of the shadows

came out a sixteen year old guy. He had shot spiky black hair, messed up. He was wearing a

dark purple yukata. He had a katana at hand, it dripped with blood. He came out into the

moon light. His clothes had blood stains, small rips and dirt. Tenten stood up in was in front of

neji. She also took out her sword. "My, my, my, Tenten. Grand ma was right about you. You

have mastered all of the clan's techniques, and to such flawlessness at such a young age . . .

you really are the best the clan has had so far." The guy said looking at his sword. "I didn't

know you became a critic after your mother gave up on you, Ryuki." Tenten snared at her

cousin. Ryuki smirked and looked up at Tenten. "Well, well you remind me so much of my

careless youngest sister. But what would you know about me, nothing. You know nothing

about me. Tenten, you have no idea how much pain I had to go through. The humiliation,
being rejected by your own mother! You have no clue how that feels. You ALWAYS had friends.

Everyone always loved you. But did you ever give a SHIT about the others?" Ryuki yelled at

Tenten. "YES YOU SELFISH BASTARD! TELL ME DID YOU EVER MAKE THE EFFORT OF

TALKING OR SPEAKING TO THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CLAN? DID YOU EVER CARE

ABOUT THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CLAN? DID YOU EVER TREAT THEM LIKE THEY

WERE HUMAN BEINGS! NO, You NEVER treated any one like humans. You treated them

like scum, garbage, like as if we had had the flu. So, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK LIKE THAT TO

ME? ME out of ALL PEOPLE? Tell me did you ever bother on just saying 'hello'? Or 'thank

you'?" Tenten shouted back at Ryuki. Ryuki glared at Tenten. Then he smirked. "Oh well, your

nonsense won't matter anymore after I'm done with you. You know I always thought you

would die in hands of someone smart, and strong, looks like I was right. I am smart and

strong." He bragged. "If by smart you mean running away with your tail between your legs

every time a situation gets tough and have no strategy when you are in trouble then yes you

are smart and strong." Tenten said with a venomous tone to her voice. "It really is a pity

you're just a side member you would have made a wonderful prodigy. It too bad that I'm

gonna have to kill you RIGHT NOW!" Ryuki shouted as he charged himself towards Tenten.

His sword was blocked by tenten's swifter sword that blocked his perfect opportunity. They

pushed each others sword back. "Neji! Run!" Tenten shouted to neji. Neji froze. He didn't

know what to do. He wanted to help Tenten but he promised that when she tolled him to run,

he would run. Tenten's ankle cracked aloud. She pushed Ryuki away and bit her lip as few

tears of pain came trammelling down. She fell hard on the ground and couldn't get back up to.

Ryuki glared at her and came charging at her. "8 diagrams 64 palms" yelled neji standing in

front of Tenten to protect her from Ryuki. He began to strike in order to defend Tenten.

Tenten was amazed by Neji's actions. 'He . . . he just . . . defended me! From Ryuki.

AAARGHH! My ankle. .' Tenten looked at her ankle in was turning into a dark purple colour and

it was swelling. Tenten saw that it wasn't moving when she wanted her ankle to move. Neji

finished fighting with Ryuki in no time and immediately turned around to see if Tenten was ok.

Her eyes were wide and her mouth was gaped. "Why? Why would-" "because he had no right

to speak to you like that or treat you that way." He said yet again with a cold tone to his tone

of voice. "Neji you . . . you could have died! Why on earth didn't you run? Why the hell would you risk your life for a stranger you just met today?" she asked in a consented jet

angry voice. Neji looked at her in the eye. Neji could she that she was mostly worried than

angry. He looked down. "I protected you because . . . you're the only person that actually tries

to understand me and tries to help me fix my problem even though every time you do we get

interrupted." He said with a microscopical blush. Tenten held back the blush but frowned.

"That . . . was really . . . sweet . . . but, it not a good reason." She said with small jet sweet

smile. 'How? How did she know that wasn't it?' he thought to himself. "I . . . Did it because . . .

we are the same… …"

Those words echoed inside tenten's head she snapped her eyes open and immediately sat up

on her bed. She was panting and sweating. She covered her right eye and calmed herself

down. 'Neji . . . I wonder what was of you after I left. . Why am I thinking about that?' she

thought as she got up and walked to the kitchen. 'Thank heavens it was only a dream. It

would of have been a compete disaster if we met at the wrong time . . . like now for instance.'

She thought as she started her daily routine. Tenten had met neji, they were eight and had

not seen each other since that every night. Sure it was a bloody night, (literally) and they

both wish to forget about it but they both secretly missed each other very much, even though

they were just to darm stubborn to admit. 'Today is going to be an interesting day. . . I

wonder…' she giggled lightly. Today Tenten was going to meet her new ninja team. She was

going to meet them at the park near the ninja school. She knew the changes of been in Neji's

team was one in a million and she was happy with that unlikely chance. She didn't want neji

to be in her team, for her sake and his.

- Meanwhile to neji -

"Oi neji, lee, where are you two going?" asked the most hyperactive in all of konoha. 'Oh

great now what?' neji thought to himself, in a not to happy way. "Oh Naruto, we are just going

to meet our new youthful team mate. Gai sensei tolled us it would be a youthful spring

blossom! He also said that our new youthful blossom was a blossom of many talents! He said

she was much faster than our LAST YOUTHFUL TEAM MATE!" shouted the green beast of

konoha. Naruto looked interested in this subject. "Well you can't really rely on the information

that Gai gives you" he said with an unsure of face. "Do not insult Gai sensei in that way!

Every piece of information he delivers is valuable information!" lee shouted so much, you'd be able to hear him from the South Pole. Neji began to get irritated by the shouting. So he

began to meditate to shut the noise out of his range. 'Why on earth am I granted with such a

team mate and sensei? Why on earth. . .' his thoughts were interrupted by a lovely fragrance

in the air. The fragrance was indeed wonderful. Neji began to think about the night he met

Tenten. 'Tenten . . . I wonder where you are? Why you left in such a hurry? I wonder if you

are thinking of me too?' he was so caught up in his own world that he didn't listen to what

Naruto was saying. "OOOII HYUUGA! Stop ignoring me! So what do you think?" Naruto

asked neji "what do you mean 'what do I think'?" neji asked with a raised sceptical eye brow.

Naruto smirked. Oh boy now we're in trouble. "What I mean is what if you new team mate is

that girl you're always dazed off in thought about?" Naruto said incredibly brave. Neji's veins

started to pop from the side of his head. Oh man Naruto Is a dead man for sure.

"ARGH! NEJI YOU CRAZY, LUNAAA AARRGHHH! AAAARRRRGHHHH! YOU'RE CHOCKING ME!

YOU'RE CHOCKING ME! YOU'RE CHOCKING ME! AAARRRGHHH!" "BAKA! HOW DARE YOU

SAY SUCH A THINGS IN PUBLIC! BAKA!" neji yelled as he started to strangle Naruto.

"HOW THE (please enter favourite swear word) DID YOU—" Neji stopped his sentence. Oh boy

was he in deep shit. Oh boy did he take this one back. "WHAT WAS THAT, OURYOUTHFUL

NEJIHASFOUNDABEAUTIFULYOUTHFULSPRINGBLOSSOM?!" Shouted Gai on top his

lungs. People stoped what ever they were doing and turned to face neji. A couple of girl

dropped on the floor and started to cry. Ok may be neji felt a little bit more than friendship

affection. But, darn it, he was so stubborn. That's why he had been looking for her for over

twelve years even though she had tolled him not to.

Tenten just so happen to be walking by when she heard all the shouting. She couldn't see who

they were talking about at first, but then she heard his name. She froze, her heartbeat

increased. She tried to look as normal as she could. She looked at were the poor guy who was

been embarrassed and there wasn't a doubt in her mind that it was neji. 'Neji . . . you've

grown so tall and . . .' she held back a blush as she tried to erase the thought she just had.

She knew neji would come to look for her even though she had tolled him not to. The truth

was she was always watching over him . . . well not always so for all you pervs get that idea

out of your head. Tenten simply watch out for him in case her family decided to harm neji in

any way. 'Neji thank heaven you're ok.' Tenten had been away for 2 years, looking from a

distance, at every move her family made. She was very close to coming across them once or

twice. She had missed neji very much even though she denied the though of it. Her eyes met

Neji's. They stared at each other for a few seconds. Then Tenten blinked a couple of times and

started to move from were she was.

When neji came across a pair of brown bun tied up in red ribbons, his heart almost leapt out

of his rib cage. He then looked to see if he could see the woman's face. He knew it was a girl

but didn't know if it was his- *cough*cough* the same Tenten he had met. Then neji saw the

woman's face. It looked a little bit like Tenten only a little older and finer. She was wearing a

black long sleeve top with a black cape that said 'weapon mistresses' at the back in gold

writing and black pants with black sandals. She had a huge scroll hanging on her back. She

looked like she was ready to go or had come back from a mission. He had to agree that she

was pretty but no as pretty as his-*cough*cough*Tenten. The stranger tuned around ninety

degrees to the right. They stared at each other. The woman's mouth was slightly gaped. So

was Neji's. 'She must be younger than me! She-she has a lov- - I mean familiar look.' Neji

thought. The woman looked way. Gai and lee hugged him. He was trying to get out of their

death grip. He finally managed to escape. He turned to the same spot were the woman had

been but she wasn't there any longer. Maybe it was just his imagination playing a trick on him.

That's what a normal sane person would think but not neji. He needed to find that woman no

matter what. "Youthful neji we must go now to meet our new youthful comrade." Gai and lee

said at precisely the same annoying time. Neji sighed 'I guess it'll have to wait.' He thought in

his head. He was very annoyed. First he was waked up by a memory of Tenten . . . ok, maybe

that wasn't a bad thing but, then as his perfect mood was destroyed by Lee disturbing him

while he was having breakfast . . . he almost chocked to death without finding his-

*cough*cough* I mean Tenten. Then he was dragged out his house by his insane sensei and

comrade, after that by work of god his sensei was called by lady Tsunade and was then

unfortunately left with 'youthful' Lee and then well we know the rest. They were arriving at the

park, were they had said to meet their new comrade. 'This should be interesting . . . on

second thoughts no it's going to be boring or maybe annoying.'

-With Tenten-

'Oh man, I've got that feeling again. Shit something bad is going to happen. I seriously don't

have the time right now' Tenten thought in her head while she was playing with a sharp

stainless steel kunai in her hand. 'How to know if this bad feeling is dangerous or—someone's

coming'. She thought as she felt chakras approaching her current spot. One of the chakras

was familiar, very familiar. In fact it was identical to Neji's chakra, only it was much stronger,

this chakra was at the current moment calm but a little tense. The other chakra was more

active than the one the felt like Neji's chakra. Tenten only had to turn around slightly to see

that it was the person who she hadn't seen in two years, neji, beside him was his other

comrade. She turn away from their direction and breathed in slowly. 'I knew it . . . today is

going to be interesting after all.'
