4 Batman

It had been the first present from Neji. It was a batman figurine. Not many people knew of my comic obsession, I only shared it will a couple of people. I tried telling the girls, but they didn't quite understand. They liked girly things, whereas I was a bit of a tomboy. I did have a girly side, but it only went to what clothing I wore. I had some dresses and skirts and maybe some frilly tops, but they were worn on special occasions.

My batman figurine sat on the mantel piece along with some photos. I had two of my parents and one of my team. I dusted them down every day ensuring there wasn't a speck of dust lingering. I had done this for almost three years.

I decided to do some individual training this afternoon. I packed up my weapons and scrolls and locked my apartment up. It was mid afternoon when I left and the sky was covered in clouds. It was warm with a gently breeze. When I had reached the training ground, I had set a target in the middle of the ground and prepared my scrolls. I preformed the hand seals for twin rising dragon and fired all my weapons at the target. When I feel back to the ground, all my weapons had penetrated the target and left it in tatters.

"Great." I muttered to myself with a smile. "Now I will have to try it on moving targets."

As I went to collect all my weapons back up, the ground started violently shaking. I crashed to the floor and waited for the shaking to stop. I could feel trees crashing to the ground. It lasted for what felt like five minutes. I could finally stand when the shaking had calmed down, and even then I had to dodge out of the way from a few trees that were still falling and the ones that were blocking my path. I managed to make it back to the village when there was an aftermath. I could hear villagers screaming and crying. When everything had calmed down I could see children left stranded in the streets, buildings demolished and littering the streets, posts on the ground. The village was a mess. I could see people crushed under buildings and I tried to remove the rubble to see if they were still breathing.

While wondering the streets trying to find survivors, I found Neji.

"Neji!" I shouted. He came running over and dust had covered his clothes.

"Tenten, are you ok?" He asked panting.

"I'm fine, but we need to get the injured to the hospital."

He gave me a nod and we managed to get the seriously injured to the hospital. Other ninja helped the less injured and the children who couldn't find their parents. We worked late into the night and it wasn't until two in the morning that Neji walked me home. He didn't want me going back by myself in case anything happened to me. He tried to insist that he stay the night, but I persuaded him I will be fine.

I unlocked the apartment and when we entered it was a mess. Chairs and tables had moved, the cups that were in the kitchen were smashed on the floor and everything that was on the mantel piece were on the floor. I picked up my photo frames and the pictures were fine except for the frame and the glass holding it. I looked over and sat in the middle of the room was Batman's head.

"You have got to be joking." I muttered to myself.

"What is it?" Neji asked crouching down next to me.

I showed him the destroyed Batman figurine. He took a piece off of me and just looked at it.

"I'm so sorry Neji." I wanted to cry. I knew it wasn't my fault it smashed, but it was the only thing I could say.

"Don't be, you didn't break it. Or did you?"

"Of course not. Why would I do that, I loved it so much. I cleaned it every day."

"I thought you might have. Now go and get some sleep and don't worry about this."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, now I better get home seeing as it's quite late."

"Thank you Neji." I placed a hand on his shoulder and got up to open the door. I turned round and Neji started getting up off the floor.

I didn't even bother changing out of my clothes as I was that tired. I just flopped back onto my bed and fell asleep.

When I woke the next morning it was late in the afternoon. I cleaned myself off and wondered out into the village to see if anyone needed my assistance. I continued moving rubble and helping shops rebuild their shops. I was only out until it started getting dark. As I walked up the stairs to my apartment I noticed a box outside my door. I picked it up and read the label, there were only two words:

Enjoy

Neji

I took the parcel indoors and sat on the sofa. I peeled back the brown paper and ripped open the lid of the cardboard box. I lifted the heavy item up and it was the same Batman figurine. Inside there was another note. This one with more writing:

Tenten

I repaired him for you, there may be a few chips or bits missing though. I tried to glue it all back together to the way it was. I hope you like it.

Neji

You know exactly what to do Neji. I placed my Batman figurine back on the mantel piece and stood back to look at it again. I'm glad to have you back Batman.

I really liked writing this one ^-^

And now you know what to do.. Review! and spread the love hehe ^-^ I would very much appreciate it!
