Italics flashbacks

Chapter 3

Tenten stood under the pouring water. She decided to take a shower after what happened that day. It was crazy, men trying to kill children and all. The thing that got her the most is that, that dammed itachi kept saving her life. She didn't need protecting, she's skilled enough to protect herself.

"Tenten-chan", dinner will be ready soon" said yuriko behind the door. "Ok, thank you" tenten shouted back as she turned off the water, getting out of the shower.

She grabbed a towel and started drying herself off. As she was drying her face, she looked in the mirror. The girl she saw staring back through the mirror was a stranger. She hadn't seen her own face in 3 years. She didn't have mirrors where she was held, only the moonlight and puddles, which didn't reflect much.

She looked at the bruises on her body, she didn't like it all that much. She missed home, she missed her friends. She missed the days of training with her teammates. Fighting along side comrades on missions. Watching over the younger shinobi who looked up to her.

She grabbed her cloths and slipped them on, she opened the door to walk out, running into someone. " Sorry" she said staring at the strange man, she'd never seen before. "You must be tenten" the man replied. She blinked at him. "My name is Ki- " he spoke. "Kinshin!" Shouted yuriko as she jumped on the taller man. "Kinshin, I didn't know you were coming home" she shouted. He laughed as he hugged the younger girl. "Are you staying this time?" she asked. "Yes, I will be around for a while" he said glancing at tenten.

"Yuriko, whats taking you so long to get…..Kinshin?" Yuki blinked. "Hello yuki" kinshin said giving her a smile. "I didn't think you were coming back" Yuki replied. "I couldn't leave you two behind alone, especially since I don't like the parents your staying with" Kinshin replied. Tenten blinked, still knowing nothing about these people.

"So, is he related to you?" tenten asked as she she helped Yuki set the table. "He is our brother. The people we live with are not our parents. Our family was involved with the wrong people. They attacked our family, and kinshin killed them all, we were banned from our village. Once kinshin found out about this place, he brought us here. Kinshin was like the prodigy to our family, our mother adored him. I have very weak shinobi skills. So I always feel useless. I want kinshin to be proud of me" She replied. Tenten smiled. "I think he is, you've been taking care of yuriko while he was gone." tenten replied. "But you saw what happened when we were at the market." Yuki replied. "I will help you become better, it's what im here for anyway" Tenten replied as she went to grab a bottle of water.

"So, they brought you here to train my sisters" Kinshin said as he walked up beside her. "Yes, I will help them the best I can" Tenten replied. "Are you hoping to gain your freedom, and get the opportunity to return to your village after doing so?" he asked. She stared at him with a blank look. He laughed. "It's going to take more than that, plus, you are special to some people around here. I wont tell you how, or why, it's something you must figure out on your own." He said as he walked to the door. "And Katoro would like a word with you after dinner. I was sent to escort you" He said, he shot her a smile before leaving the room.

Tenten grunted, what more did they want. They wanted her to train these girls, help them, now they are setting up meetings. And what's with him, escort, she didn't need a escort, she could find the place on her own. But he was right, she was hoping to go home after helping them. She missed home, she missed her friends, lee's anxiousness, and neji's grumpiness. She missed her other friends, even temari, who had become a good sparing partner for her.

She walked in and sat down at the seat for her. She wasn't all that hungry, but she didn't want to hurt their feelings. "Have you started your training yet?" Kinshin asked. "No, but tenten-san is going to show us some stuff in the morning" Yuriko replied as she stuffed her mouth with food. Kinshin looked over to tenten who nodded back. "Yuriko, chew your food before talking" Yuki said as she took a small bite. Yuriko chewed her food and swallowed, then stuck her tongue out at her sister. "Will you teach me how to wield a katana tenten?" Yuriko asked as she took a sip of her water. "Maybe, but I need to see what level your at with weapons, I can most likely find the best weapon to suit you in battle" Tenten said. Yuriko flashed her a grin.

Kinshin pushed himself away from the table, standing up. "Let's go tenten" He said. Leaving?" Yuki asked. "Kinshin, you just got here, please don't leave again" Yuriko jumped from her seat onto his back. Tenten stood up, sighing. "Tenten has a meeting she must attend in order to stay and help with your training." Kinshin explained to them. Yuriko held a frown, she didn't want either of them to leave. "Fine" she said jumping off his back. "But don't be gone long" she said as she walked back to her seat and crossing her small arms. Yuki started cleaning the table, picking up the plates. She was piling up plates, one by one into her hand. One slipped out her hand and fell, before it hit the ground tenten caught it. "I help clear the table before we go" she said giving Yuki a smile, as yuki returned one.

The table was cleared in no time, all the dirty dishes mounted in the sink. "When I return, I will help wash the dishes" Tenten replied. Kinshin was waiting at the door with his eyes closed in a familiar stance she use to love to see every morning, no matter how much it irritated her.

"About time you got here" Neji said as he glanced over to her. "Sorry Neji, I got delayed at the ramen shop, naruto is on his new 'which ramen is the best poll' I tried getting away but he's a hard person to ignore" She smiled as she walked closer to her comrade. "Where's lee?" she asked, looking around for konoha's lotus master. "He went out on a scouting mission with Shikamaru and Sakura" Neji answered as he turned to face her. "Guess it's just you and me then" tenten said as she reached for her giant scroll. "I learned a new move I want to show you" she said smiling greatly at her progress. Neji's face didn't change, his posture didn't change into his defense mode, nor to his relaxation mode. He just walked closer to her. "Neji, what's wrong?" she asked, just watching as he got closer. He stopped inches from her, raising his and to her face. Her heart started racing, as she felt the heat rise to her cheeks. He traced his hand along her face, going up to her hair. "You should wear your hair down sometimes" Neji said as his face got closer to hers. She blushed more, nodding. She loved her passionate moments with Neji, the moments she rarely got, it was so seldom that each time they had their moments, she was shy. Neji's lips brushed across hers once, then again before he pulled his face back. She smiled to him as she wrapped her arms around him, kissing him once more.

"If you stand there all day we're going to miss the meeting" Kinshin said as he glanced at her blushing face, knocking her from her memory. "Are you running a fever, your face is red" he said. Tenten blinked as she rubbed her face. "Lets go" she said walking to the door. Kinshin opened the door, walking out, tenten right behind him shutting it. "What does he want to see me for?" Tenten asked. "I don't know, I'm just sent to bring you" Kinshin answered as she walked. The walk was silent, tenten paid attention to the route they were taking, incase she needed to know her way back. They came across a building, two guards standing at the doors. Kinshin walked up to the guards, pulling out a paper. The guards examined the paper then moved to let them in. "Come on" he said as she followed him in, the guards eyed her as she walked by.

"Ah, here she is." Spoke the man from before, the one who greeted her, the man in control. Tenten glanced at the man, and the people surrounding him, they all sat at a table, one empty seat beside him. "Here, take a seat here" he said pulling out the chair. Tenten walked around to take the seat. "This is tenten" He spoke to the people. "Is she the one Moku?" asked the elderly man who sat across from them. "Yes, the heir?" asked the man beside him, he wasn't as old, but he was older than moku for sure. Heir? What were they talking about, she was no heir to anything. She glanced around the room, there were many men who traced the wall, they must have been body guards. She spotted Itachi, his cold black eyes staring at her as if he were staring through her soul. Deidara stood at his right, a grin on his face, seen through his eyes. Kinshin was at his left, watching and listening as if he were a student taking a test on such information.

"Yes, Tenten is the next heir" Moku spoke as he looked down to the girl. "She is of the proper age, 18" He said smiling. She was still confused. "What are you talking about, Im no heir to anything" she spoke. "Such beautiful voice she carries, just like her mothers." Spoke the lady near the end of the table Others nodded in agreement. "My mother?" tenten repeated. "You knew my mother?" tenten stood staring at the woman. "We all knew your mother, she was the last heir" Spoke the woman, she stood walking over to tenten, pulling out the ties of her buns. She handed them to the man who stood beside her, most likely her bodyguard. She ran her hands through tenten's hair. "You look exactly as she did when she was your age." The woman smiled greatly. The others smiled in agreement. "Your mother was a very important woman." Spoke a man. "As was my brother, your father" said moku.

Tenten looked around at all of the people sitting at the table, or standing close to her. She barely knew her parents, she only got to live with them for 5 years before she lost them. "I-" she said. "I don't believe you" Tenten said to them. They were lying to her of course, they were her enemies, they kidnapped her, and left her to rot in a prison. Moku reached under his table, pulling out pictures. "I'm an sad that you do not remember me. I was there when you graduated from your academy, I was there when your parents died, and I was also there watching as you participated in both of your chunin exams. I was quite disappointed when you lost to the sand ninja temari." Moku spoke. "I've been in your life since my brothers death, it was his dying wish, to entrust you to me, and all of their inherits to you." He pulled out a chest, sitting it on the table in front of her. As he did so, tenten could picture this man at each and every event he mentioned. He was the man who gave her a white rose as they buried her parents, and he was also the one who gave her the kunai her father used all the time. He gave her the hair ties when she graduated from her academy, stating a real shinobi should see to become stronger.

She tuned into the chest on the table. "Open it" moku said. Everyone watched as she put her hands on the chest, trying to open it. "it's locked" she said to him. She felt more comfortable to him, now that memories of this man flooded her mind, just knowing someone who actually was actually related to her father. "Of course it's locked" he said. "I want you to take this back with you. When your not helping the family, try getting this chest open" He said. "Once you've gotten it open, all of your a will be answered." he said. Tenten was still confused, she didn't understand what just happened. "Now go, you have to get up early to train two young shinobi in the morning" Moku said Turing her to the door by her shoulders. "Kinshin, thank you for bringing her. Itachi, thank you for helping her down in the mart. I'm glade your playing your role to the best." Moku said. What role, pissing tenten off? Tenten gave Itachi a look. Itachi nodded to moku. "It is the best I can do, considering im one of the last that is able to help this task" he spoke clearly. Tenten was even more confused.

"Moku, whats-?" tenten started to asked but she was silenced. "All of your questions will be answered once the chest is opened." He said smiling to her. But that wasn't good enough for tenten, she wanted to know. The woman from before pulled tenten close in a hug, it startled her for a moment but she just let it happen. "Such beautiful eyes like your mother" the woman spoke. The 4 at the table all gave her warm smiled as moku sat his hand over tenten's head. She smiled back to the old lady. "Thank you" she said as she bowed to them. The old woman smiled again. "No, thank you young one, thank you for giving me the loving site of your mother. We all miss her dearly" she spoke.

Kinshin was soon at her side. "time to go back." He said as he nodded to moku. Tenten held the chest close to her as she walked. She was more confused about everything. So much to think of, yet nothing at all. "Do you know how to open this Kinshin?" she asked as they walked. "No" He answered plainly. "Did you know moku was my uncle?" she asked. "Yes" he said in the same tone as before, plain. "Did you know my father?" she asked. "I didn't know your father, but where I grew up, he was someone I wanted to be. I wanted to be him, as strong as him, as smart" Kinshin said with a smile. Tenten never heard anyone speak of her father in such way, it made her happy. No one in Konoha liked to speak of her parents, so she never really got to hear about them. She was so thrilled about the way they spoke of her parents, it made her forget how much she disliked everyone in the room, she even started to trust some of them.

Hey everyone, here's chapter 3 of prison. How do you like this new mystery character Kinshin? What is this role Itachi is playing? And what do you think is in the chest? If she's some heir, why is she still being forced to help train someone? Dun Dun Dun. It will only be revealed in the next chapter, which, might add come up quickly. I will not make anyone wait forever with this stuff to think about Sorry for any grammar mistakes or any spelling errors. Thanks for the reviews, they inspire me to write more, each one after the other. Sayonara for now my friends. Please Review.
