Chapter 8
"Good morning everyone." Tenten says walking into the living room. The twins look up from their seats on the couch. "Yeah maybe a good night for you." Ronin says. Tenten looks toward Shinrae and Haru, who was sitting in one of the chairs. "What's wrong with them?" she asks. Shinrae and Haru shrugs. "You keep us up all night." Kitsune says.
"Huh, what did I do?" Tenten asks.
"You were screaming too much." Ronin answers.
"What?!" shouts Tenten, Shinrae, and Haru.
"Yea all that OH NEJI I LOVE YOU" says Ronin.
"OH NEJI, NEJI, NEJI!!!" says Kitsune
"Oh Neji your going to fast."
"Oh Neji now you're going to slow."
"Oh Neji your body is so hot."
The twins hug them selves. "Oh Neji you dirty boy." they says in union. Tenten face turns red as the Twins sits back down. "That's why we couldn't get any sleep." says Ronin. Tenten stares at the Twins. "Are you serious?" she asks. The room goes quiet. The twins nod their heads. Tenten's face goes even redder. After more minutes of silence the twins bust out laughing Tenten, Shinrae, and Haru stare at the twins. "What is so funny?" Tenten asks.
"We were just joshin ya. We didn't hear anything. You must have forgot, that the walls in this house is sound proof." Ronin says laughing. Tenten sighs and turn back toward her room. "Why are you so red?" asks Neji who was walking down the stairs. Tenten walks over to him. "Our kids are going to kill me before I make it to 25. We gotta keep them away from Kakashi." she says. Neji looks toward Shinrae and Haru, who was laughing. The two look toward Neji and shake their heads.
"Good thing we don't got a video camera in this house." Tenten says. Neji looks at Shinrae, who raises up her arm. On the couch was a camera. Shinrae quickly lowers her arm when Tenten turns around. "Ok guys we can leave in a few minutes. I got to see something." Tenten says and walks up the stairs. Neji turns back to Shinrae. "I'll show you when she separates from us to go see Tsunade." Shinrae says. Neji nods. Shinrae turns the camera all the way off and puts it in her bag.
--minutes later--
Tenten hops down the stairs. "Ok guys, come on." she says as she walks to the door. Everyone stands up and walks toward the door. Tenten opens the door and follows everyone out. The six walks down the street toward the park. "So what are you guys going to do today?" Tenten asks. The group shrugs. "We'll probably just go to the park then walk around." says Neji. Tenten nods. "We are to meet the others at the park entrance first though." says Haru.
"Tenten! Hi guys!" standing at the entrance of the park was Mika and Raina waving. Tenten waves back. "Hey." she greets as they stop at the entrance. "What's up guys?" Tenten asks. Raina points inside the park. "Ino is talking to Shikamaru right now and she wants me to ask if the twin can spend the night with Matsu today." she says. Tenten nods. "Of course they can. They love going over there. Actually Ronin, but that's another story. But anyways, sure." she says.
The twins run pass Mika and Raina and into the park. "Oh Shinrae, have you heard from Samona?" asks Mika. Shinrae nods. "Yea, I talked to her yesterday night. She said she should be back soon." she says. Haru nods. "No need to worry though. Samona can handle herself. And plus she has Itachi and Kisame with her…She actually more safe than us in a way." he says. Mika nods. "Right… Now I'm alittle unsafe about my own village." she says making the others laugh.
"Ok guys. I got to get going. I'll see ya all later." Tenten says. The group nods. "See ya." they say as Tenten runs off toward the Hokage's Office. Tenten runs up the case of stairs and into the building. She walks down the hall until she reaches a certain door. "Hi Tsunade." Tenten says as she walks into the room. A woman with blonde hair lifts her head off the desk and looks up. "Hey Tenten. You finally came back to visit." Tsunade says sitting up.
"Well, I was alittle busy." Tenten says as she sits down in one of the chairs infront of the desk. "You know with the Twin's birthday and Neji returning." she says. Tsunade nods. "So how are the twins doing with Neji?" she asks. Tenten smiles. "They are during very good with him. Today they are with him and the others. This was they'll learn more about him from himself and not from Me." she says. "Now that he's back and here to stay for awhile. They can spend time with him." Tenten says.
"Right…Umm Tenten I got to tell you something." Tsunade days looking away from Tenten. Tenten raises a brow. "What is it?" she asks. Before Tsunade can says anything a boy with dark green hair runs into the room. "Ms. Tsunade, someone is here to see you." he says bowing. Tsunade sighs and stands up. "I'll be right back, Tenten." she says and follows the boys out the room. Tenten sighs. "I wonder what she had to tell me."
--minutes later--
Tsunade walks back into the room. "Ok Tenten back to what I have to tell you." she says sitting back down. Tenten nods. "What is it about?" she asks. Tsunade looks down. "It's about Neji." she says. Tenten looks at her quickly. "What about Neji?" she asks. Tsunade sighs. "Well." Just then a girl with black hair and a pig with her walk into the room. "Tsunade, I need you right now." she says. Tsunade hangs her head. "What is it Shizune? Can't it wait?" she asks.
Shizune shakes her head. "No. It's Temari, she has a message from Gaara." she says. Tsunade stands up. "I'll tell you when I get back." she says to Tenten and walks out the room. Tenten sighs. "What is going on?" she asks herself. "First Neji had something to tell me now Tsunade."
--half an hour later--
Tsunade walks back into the room and shuts the door behind her. "Ok now lets do this without interruptions." she says and sits down in her chair. Tenten nods. "Now what was you saying about Neji?" she asks. Tsunade sighs. "Ok I don't want to make it any harder on you than it has to be so I'll tell you straight up." she says. Tenten nods. "Ok." she says sitting up straight and preparing herself. Tsunade sighs again and looks at Tenten.
"It has to do with the mission Neji was on. I told Neji this the day after he came back. He didn't finish the mission all the way as he thought. His mission isn't over, he has to leave again. I thought he would have told you." Tsunade says. Tenten lowers her head. "I'll think that him tell me something like that too." she whispers standing up. "I got to go. Thank you for telling me this Tsunade." Tenten says bowing. She then walks to the door and opens it. Tsunade stands up. "I'm sorry Tenten." she says. Tenten nods and runs out the door.
Tenten runs out the building and down the case of stairs. She runs down the streets toward her house. Tenten stops running when she is infront of the house. "I can't believe this is happening." she says to her self as she stares at the ground. Seconds later Tenten heard footsteps coming toward her. "Tenten? Are you ok?" Tenten looks up to see Neji standing not to far away from her. Tenten looks back at the grounds. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asks. Neji blinks. "Tell you what?" he asks.
"Why didn't you tell me that you have to leave again?!" Tenten shouts turning toward him and raising her head to him. Neji eyes shift to the ground. "That was my business." he says. Tenten lower her head again and looks at the ground. "You business huh?" she asks, her voice starting to crack. "I have your kids and wait for you for nearly 6 years to come back and it's your business. I was about to have a shutdown mental and physical from waiting for you and it's your business. I feared that I'll be gone and my kids will never get to meet their father and it's your business." Tenten says as held back tears roll down her cheeks.
"Dammit Neji! This is not just your business! You haven't even been here for a full week and you have to leave again! I haven't even got over you leaving for so long and you think I'll take it easily when you leave again!" Tenten shouts. Neji looks at her. "I still have to finish my mission. If you like it or not." he says. "Tenten I'm sorry that all this had such an effect on you but I have to do my job as a ninja and finish the mission I was on."
Tenten laughs to herself. "Good to know you care more about a mission than you do about your own lover and kids." she says. "I guess I s-should have taken t-the advice of s-some of the people in the v-village. I s-should have found s-someone else while y-you were gone." she cries. Neji stares at her. "Yea, it's good to know you really feel that way about us. Maybe you should have just taken their advice." he says. "Actually use their advice now and find you someone else." Neji says turning around and walks away.
Tenten buries her face in her hands. "Dammit, why did I say that?" she asks herself. Tenten runs into the house and to her room. She locks the room door as she shuts it behind her. She sits down in one of the corners of the room and curls herself up into a ball and let the tears roll down her face.
