Tenten watched as they walked away "It a shame when they find out that your still lying to them", Tenten turned to where the voice had came from but she couldn't see a thing in the shadows "I mean how do you think that boy will react to even more lies"

"Who there?"

"Maybe you should just leave the village never come back no one would be bothered by you again", Tenten was getting frustrated squinting her eyes to try and see anything.

"Come out?", she spoke more firm biting her lower lip she couldn't believe what she was hearing who was this.

She watch as the figure walked out of the shadows " you know what I'm saying is the truth you know you cant keep that fake smile up forever".

Tenten eyes widened "no way lady Koharu Utatane", (for all those who don't remember her she in the leaf council)

SAKURA & INO

The two young girls walk down the street it hasn't been long since they left the BQQ hut "that was a great night" Ino stretch her are above her head as she walked.

"Yeah but I don't feel right leaving without paying our half of the bill", Sakura looked up at the night sky until she felt an arm wrap around her neck and seeing her friend smile at her.

"Don't worry about it Neji said he would take care of the bill" her smile grew "man you must be the first girl in the world who wants to pass up a free meal", she laughed.

"Oh crap", Sakura slapped her forehead while Ino just gave her questionable look "I forgot my purse. Aww I need to go back and get it", turning back to walk the other way.

"I'll come knowing you you'll end up talking to someone and wont get home until later but if I'm with you I can make sure that doesn't happen", Ino folded her arm with a smile.

"Sure. Now that I think about it less people do talk to me when your around", she smirked at the blond hair girl.

"or they just get scared by your billboard brow", Sakura ignored her.

FIVE MINUTES LATER

As the two girl got to the corner of the BBQ hut when they heard a voice coming from the other side they looked at each other "Come out"

They looked at each other "isn't that Tenten voice?", Ino asked with concern in her voice.

"Yeah and she sounds pissed", the girls looked around the wall still keeping quiet so they wont be spotted.

"You know what I'm saying is the truth you know you cant keep that fake smile up forever", an old lady stepped out of the shadows.

"isn't that lady Koharu Utatane what is she doing here?" Sakura looked up to Ino expecting her to know the answer.

TENTEN

"lady Koharu Utatane", Tenten didn't know how to greet the old woman she was to angry to greet her the normal way with a smile and bow to show respect she didn't deserve it, but she would act normal like she didn't know what she was talking about. "lovely night", she spoke as she forced herself to bow "can I help you with something?"

"Yes let me know why your still in this village", Tenten gave a sharp stare before forcing out a laugh.

"Well because I live here that why?", she spoke trying to sound less cheeky.

"Don't play stupid with me". Tenten put on a confused look "when I heard the gossip I wont lie I didn't believe it I mean why would I you aren't someone who stand out", Tenten folded her arms "but when I left the village for a week it was conformed".

"Well you heard wrong I've always be a konoha ninja", the young girl being more serious "now if you don't mind I will be leaving", she turned to walk away.

"Answer me one question then", Tenten stopped "is it true that you're just a replacement for your brother?", brown haired girl clenched her fist "I mean for what I've heard your parent where against you staying" she smiled seeing it was having effecting her "there where rumours that his death had something to do with you…"

"Stop it!", Tenten voice was low and strained she could only fight the tears as they threatening to fall from her eyes.

"So is it true", the woman eyes sharpened "I mean it must be hard on your parents having you around a reminder of what caused their son death"

"SHUT UP", she yelled as the old woman watching her run of in the direction of the training grounds before the old woman walked away.

SAKURA & INO

They watched as their friend ran of they couldn't believe it they stood there stunned trying to process "I never knew Tenten had a brother", Ino was the first to speak.

"Poor Tenten", Sakura breathed out "was this lady Koharu Utatane idea of some kind of sick joke", her voice now becoming angrier.

"Sakura I will go and cheek if Tenten okay you go get your purse and if Lady Tsunade up to it let her know other wise we'll until tomorrow ", they agreed and Ino was off and Sakura went in the BBQ hut.

SAKURA

As she walk in she could see Lady Tsunade ignoring Shizune attempts to get her stop drink `well I already knew that was going to be a long shot anyway`, Kakashi and Guy where having an eating contest.

She continued walking where she was seat when she found her purse then spotting Naruto and Lee acting Quite suspicious "What are you to up?", the boys smiled holding something behind there back.

"Nothing emm what do you mean", Naruto panicked

"What are you hiding?", they said nothing until they couldn't take her stare anymore and showing her two scrolls she could recognise they scrolls any day "what are you doing with those?". She yelled

"We just wanted to see the different weapons Sakura it not that big of a deal", Naruto trying to defend their reason for taking the scroll.

The pink haired girl grabbed the scrolls "you two should know better than to steel Tenten scroll expressly you Lee. You don't even know the hand signs", she sighed before walking out.

NEJI & HINATA

The two walk towards the head clans house "You know Neji I think Tenten really enjoyed herself it been ages since I've seen her smile the way she did today"

"I'm glad to hear that", he paused for a moment.

"She still acting a bit distant but she just need a little more time", he showed no emotion as he talk but Hinata knew it was there.

"We shouldn't expect much from her just know she still working some things out", a smirk came to his face "training has never been", Neji thought back to earlier that day and his smirk just grow.

TENTEN

Tenten came to a clearing in the forest where she comes to improve her knew jutsu's. It was set up with targets perfect for a weapons mistress. Tenten loved this area no one every came here it was like it had been forgotten by all of the shin obis.

As Tenten landed next to half a tree that she had been using to practice using her fire jutsu in her hand by concentrating it with her chakra but it always failed no matter how hard she tried. She knew how to do it with hand signs but it took to much of her chakra last time she ended up in the hospital lucky someone from the ANBU found her past out in this clearing.

Lady Tsunade had warred her about using it but she couldn't help herself today she was to angry and she wanted to blow of some steam. She done some hand sign not waiting for the jutsu she start ramming her fist into the bark watching it burn off.

INO

Ino finally found Tenten she sat on the branching watching her friend for a moment `Maybe I should leave her a while in till she calms down and talk to her tomorrow` she sighed `then again I cant leave her like this Sakura would kill me` she continued watching her friend as she started doing some hand sign "Huh what is she doing?", Ino watched as she watched her friend punching the bark with fire in her hand "she know better", jumping from to the ground a couple feet away from her friend.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?", Tenten heard the blond haired ninja stopping in mid punch her fist resting on what was left of the tree. Her head was lowered her fringe was covered her eyes as she took deep. "You know damn right Lady Tsunade told you not to use that jutsu, are you trying to kill yourself cause that is what will happen if you keep using it your exhausted all ready" tired

"Would it matter?" her voice shaky as Ino gave a questioned look "would it matter if I died?", Ino was speechless "I'm mean all I do is cause trouble to who ever is in my life I would better of leaving this village", she clenched her fist tighter not moving from the spot Ino had found her in.

Ino couldn't stand seeing her like this and before she knew it Ino had grabbed the brown haired ninja turning her around before she slap her in the face "don't you dare Tenten, don't you dare talk like that", the blonde girl didn't hide the tears that where falling from her eyes. "how do you think we would feel your friends you think you can just come into all our lives and think we want you to disappear without a word of goodbye", Tenten head was still down as she sat in front of the tree trying to rest a bit.

"Tenten don't listen to Lady Koharu Utatane", she sat next to her friend "Lady Tsunade will sort it out and what she said…", Ino stopped she didn't know if she should finish her sentence "what she said about your brother it not true"

Tenten closed her eyes fighting the tear at the voice that echoed in her head ` you're just a replacement for your brother`, her fist clenched `there where rumours that his death had something to do with you`

"You know he's the only reason I was aloud to stay in this village", Ino looked at her as she wiped her own tear away.

FLASHBACK

A boy looked around waiting for the students to come out the academy as he watched them leave he waited for the young girl with the twin buns slowly walked towards him he couldn't help but smile "so how was your first day Tenten?", she shrugged "come on it cant be that bad my academy days where some of the best day of my life"

"It wasn't what I expected", looked on as she walked.

"Well it might be a while before you get used to it but just try and get along with everybody", she gave him a questioned look "well that what the best shin obis dose they can be able endure any situation with a smile."

"That's a lie you can't force people to like you", he looked down on her.

"Maybe you cant get them to like you but when you put on a smile they will accept you even in the worst situation when you smile it will only show strength", He pick her up placing the young on his shoulder.

"What are you doing?", she crossed her arms

"Come on act your age", he laughed as he started running through the street of Konoha then jumping from roof to roof "you having fun", he heard her laugh and couldn't help but smile.

"Of course not", she said trying to hide the cheerful tone in her voice

"Your lying", he laughed "it okay to admit your having fun", he stopped in front of their house.

END OF FLASHBACK

"He was always waiting for me at the same time" she let out a soft sigh "but two years after that he didn't show up. I just presumed that he was just called out to a mission but when I went home…", she hid her face from the blond ninja feeling her friend wrap her arm around her shoulder. "Ino?", she looked at her Tenten eyes shinning from the un shed tears "Pease don't tell anyone you saw me like this"

"Of course I wont", she spoke softly "you Tenten it not weak showing your emotions to anyone if you don't how do we know when you need help", Ino gave a giant grin while Tenten returned it with a softer one "remember we here to help".

"Thanks Ino", she stood up offering her hand to help her up "come on I will walk you home", as Ino stretched out to take her friend's hand she paused as watched a kunai come between them. She shot a deadly look to where it came from. Tenten stood in front of her friend remembering the whole thing about protecting the medical ninjas before herself.

"Tenten what are you doing?" Ino look at her confused as the brown hair kunoich who was firing kunai in direction the first kunai came from.

"Ino you're a medical ninja, I can't allow anybody to harm you" she spoke as two ninja feel hard to the ground from the tree "Ino go and inform the hokage I will hold of these guys off"

"But Tenten…" Ino tried to object to this but she was cut off

"Ino there no time for this go", Ino looked at her before finally agreeing as she was about to jump in to the tree's she was grabbed by the elbow and throwing to the ground in front of Tenten. "Ino" the young girl yelled as she turned around to look who was the cause of it. "It you", she watched a women with white hair slowly walked up to Tenten as she was kneeling down checking Ino who was slowly getting up.

"Good you remember me", she smiled.

"Tenten who is this jerk"

"I don't really know I met her outside the village hidden in the flame she was also kicked out", Tenten straightened up launching at the white haired women trying to get her as far away from Ino as possible.

She jumped back a couple of feet avoiding the young kunoich Tenten stopped as she saw a couple of ninjas forming around the white haired lady `shit this isn't good`, Tenten thought to herself.

"Right if you want it to happen do it now", the two leaf shin obis looked at each other in question.

Tenten clutched the lower part of her arm `oh no!`, she clenched her teeth `my arm one of them knows that jutsu`, "Ino this is your only chance go", Tenten tried to ignore the pain in her arm so she could convince her friend that she would be fine.

"Right", but as soon as she was about to run she saw the pained look in her friend face "Tenten what wrong?"

"Ino just go I will be fine", she yelled at the young ninja throwing a couple of shuriken refusing to use her right arm.

"Tenten it your arm isn't it?", Ino questioned her friend

"Ino I swear…" Tenten fell to her knees unable to stand the pain `what happing`, Tenten tried to move her right arm but it barely flinched `I wish Ino would just ignore me and go there no way I'm able to fight like this I just need one last attack to let Ino get away`

Tenten launched herself at the group of ninja bring out a kunai trying to take out a couple of ninjas but her moment where slow making it easy to dodge her countering every attack she throw. "Tenten", Ino screamed as she the weapon mistress fell to her knees after been delivered a punch to the gut then final one to the causing her to blackout Ino ran to her but was caught of guard by two ninja who grabbed her arms.

"Let go of me you creeps", she watched as a bigger ninja tossed Tenten over his shoulder "Hey what are you doing with Tenten?", as she watched him run of "Ten…", she yelled but was cut of by a punch to the gut causing her to black.
