Illina: Please read, and BB does not own Naruto.


Lena, for the longest time, has only had her mother. Only in the last year, she had had Aunt Shay, Aunt Tenten, and Aunt Pem. Lena knew that she didn't even rely on the other women. She loved them, but she knew that she had to rely on her mother, and only her mother. Her mom had always been there, and always will be there.

Knowing that her mother was hurting because of her, made her angry at herself. It also made her want to cry. But Lena didn't know that it was bad enough that her mother was almost crying. Seeing her mother with her head buried in her pillow, Lena almost did cry.

"Momma, I'm sorry."

Lena's voice was small, quiet. She knew that she sounded like a small child. Hinata lifted her head from her pillow, and looked at Lena.

"Why?" Hinata asked softly. "Why did you get into a fight with seniors? Why did you yell at me?"

Lena sat on the bed, hard. "I got into the fight because they made me mad." She said. She knew it wasn't enough to satisfy her mom. "I was still mad when we got home."

The truth was worse then that. The seniors were talking bad about her mother. They were calling her mother a lot of names. Most of the names were rude and vulgar. Lena couldn't stand it, and she had thrown the first punch. That's why she was suspended.

Lena was mad when she got home because that wasn't the first time she had been picked on because of her mother. Everyone knew that her mom had screwed up, even though it wasn't new. They had heard about it from their parents. So Lena had yelled at her mom, because she was blaming her. Lena was blaming her mom about the fact that everyone hated her at school. Even though she knew it wasn't Hinata's fault.

"Lena, tell me." Hinata said, her eyes big. "Why?"

"I don't want to tell." Lena said, staring at the wall. She couldn't tell her mom. Her mom always had too much on her plate. If Lena told her why she was so mad, well, she just couldn't do it.

"Okay, but you are still grounded." Hinata said. She flipped over, sat up, and watched her. "You can't start fights Lena, you know that."

"I know, Momma."

"So, no TV." Hinata sighed. "No video games, no fun stuff with Shay or Tenten or Pem." Hinata rose. "And no dessert for at least two weeks."

Lena gaped a bit. "But Mom!"

"No buts. I had to leave work early to pick you up. I was already having a bad day as it was." Hinata glared at her. "And if I catch you breaking your grounding, there will be hell to pay, young lady."

"I know Momma." Lena nodded. She understood that. She thought the grounding was a little unfair, but she guessed that it was better then it could be.

"Good." Hinata went to her room. "I'm going to talk to Tenten, then call my boss. I'm going to have to work on Saturday, and I'm going to have to see if Tenten, Shay or Pem will be off for the next two days. Especially considering someone is suspended. I don't know what I am going to do if they aren't off."

Lena nodded, guilt building in her throat. She didn't want her mom to lose her job. Especially not because of her.

Lena followed her out of the room. Tenten was standing in the kitchen, and glanced at them. She raised an eyebrow at Lena, but didn't say anything.

"Ten, are you off tomorrow or the next day?" Hinata asked. Tenten smiled.

"Yeah I have tomorrow off. I don't think I can get Wednesday off." Tenten was a nice woman, but scary when she wanted to be. She was a weapons specialist, and worked at a firing range outside of town. She was tall, with her brown hair rolled up into two buns on the back of her head. She had kind brown eyes, unless she was angry. She favored Chinese shirt designs and blue jeans.

"What about Shay?" Hinata asked, a light edge of worry slipping in her voice.

"Shay's always off on Wednesdays, remember?" Tenten said with a grin. "Don't worry we'll watch her."

"Thanks." Hianta said. She walked back to her room, to grab her call phone.

"Why in the world did you get into a fight?" Tenten asked Lena quietly. Lena sighed.

"I'm not telling anyone, and that's final." Lena snapped. " I don't want to talk about it."

"Fine." Tenten snapped back. "But you break your mother's heart by not telling her."

'Don't worry aunt Tenten.' Lena thought. 'I keep my mom's heart together by keeping it a secret.'


BB: Why else would you think she would've gotten a fight?

Shayshaymura: She isn't going to tell me either?

BB: Nope.

Shayshaymura: Darn. but I like the reason.

BB: So do I.

Viven: Don't you have a Time Skip scheduled next chapter?

BB: STOP GIVING AWAY SECRETS!!

Viven: Well, Excuse me.

Illiana: Please review, oh nice Readers.
