I was just waiting to put in a fight scene! (and some new characters...) Some fluff will happen eventually. It's not in this chapter though. (:

Tenten's pov

Sunlight hit my face and woke me from my sleep. Sitting up and looking around, I realize that i'm inside one of their teepees. I was going to just lay back down, but then I saw that a small boy was sitting across from me.

"You are awake now."

"How did I get here?"

"Neji carried you back. He said you fainted by the river." I could tell that the Native Americans spoke another language because of their accents, but this boy sounded just as I did.

"How do you speak English so well?"

"My mother was white and my father was a chief. He stole her and married her. He died in battle though, so my mother abandoned me."

"Oh, well wait a second. Where's Hinata?"

"Who?"

"The girl that was with me yesterday."

"The other girl is fine. She is sitting eating breakfast now. That is why I have come to you." He set down a plate with some meat and berries on it.

"What is it?"

"Turkey and berries we found in a sack you were carrying with you. Nakota said we wouldn't give you our food, not yet at least."

"Thank you then." At least I knew they weren't trying to poison me. The little boy sat and stared at me eating.

"Is there something you want?"

"What's your name?"

"Tenten."

"You white people sure have weird names."

"Nakota isn't exactly a name you hear every day either kid. Besides, it's not a white name. My Father was Chinese and came here for work when he heard there would be a new railroad that would go all through the mountains. He met my mother in one of the local towns, and the rest is history."

"What's a railroad?"

"You've never heard of a railroad?" He shook his head no."

"Okay, think of it as a bridge for a giant metal horse. It's a huge horse though. It moves really fast and can carry tons of people."

"That is incredible."

"Yep."

"Tenten?"

"What?"

"Would you take me to a railroad some day?"

"Sure kid. If I ever get out of here, i'll take you on a railroad ride. What's you name anyway?"

"My name is Chaytan." A voice sounded from outside, "Chaytan? Where are you?"

"Coming!" The little boy ran out of the tent.

I have to admit, I'm happy they gave me new clothes. They had set my dress next to me while I was sleeping. Now that I look at it, I would've never even guessed that it was a dress. I had huge rips, a few blood stains, and the threads were practically falling apart. I set the dress back down and ate my food. The turkey was okay. I finally felt like I had gotten my energy back. I stood up and exited the tent. Everyone was doing something. Women we're making food and clothes. The children were playing or helping their mothers. The men were riding back in with their hunt and new furs. It almost looked like a normal town.

"Tenten!" I turned to see Hinata running towards me smiling. They had also given her new clothes.

"Tenten I was really worried. I'm glad to see your alright."

"You were worried?"

"Of coarse. We're traveling companions remember? You said we had to look out for each other."

"Right." I liked this new side of Hinata. She seemed more confident. It made me wonder what her life was like before we started traveling.

"Hey you two!" A women began walking towards us (more like charging at us),"Don't just stand there, if your going to stay here you will work."

"We didn't ask to be here." This was completely stupid. She's acting like we're free loading. I could tell Hinata agreed with me. Even if she was too polite to say so.

"Would you rather be dead?"

"No." I would rather be at home!

"Then shut up!" Somebody's cranky.

Neji's pov

This morning I thought I had woken up from a crazy dream were Nakota had us track down two women and make them prisoners of our tribe. Sadly when I walked outside just to see the women arguing with the others, my nightmare had come true.

Of coarse it was Kolaki starting a fight with them. Ever since the day I called off our engagement, she was always bitter. I knew she didn't love me. Many times we did have arranged marriages, but even then there was some sort of love. They would grow accustomed with their spouse before the marriage. Kolaki hardly even knew me. None of it would of mattered anyway. I hated her.

I could see a fight starting. Kolaki was yelling at the girl I brought to the river yesterday. With every word she drew closer and closer, until she was close enough to shove her over. I was surprised The girl got up again and pushed Kolaki back. Kolaki charged at her and grabbed her hair. Kolaki then forced her face into the dirt. This just made the girl even angrier. She grabbed Kolaki's arm so that she would face upward again. By grabbing the back of the vicious indian girl's neck, she forced her feet into Kolaki's stomach and kicked her off. The girl let down her guard to soon. Kolaki picked up a rock and charged. Someone had to stop this but no one even moved!

"Tenten! Look out!"

Apparently the girl wasn't as off guard as I thought. In one swift motion she turned and kicked Kolaki in the face. She released the rock as she fell to the ground. There Kolaki laid with a bloody nose. Anger still covered her face. The other white girl ran to her friend crying. I couldn't understand why she was crying. She wasn't the one who just ended a brawl with Kolaki.

"Hinata i'm fine. Stop crying." Two of our women were walking over to help Kolaki up, but the giro they apparently call Tenten beat them to it. She extended her hand to Kolaki, but it was swatted away.

"Fine then! Be that way!" That was all Tenten said before she walked away.

Tenten's pov

"Tenten stop cursing so much! We have to go wash your cut."

"If the damned girl hadn't thrown my face into the dirt I wouldn't need to." That girl was crazy. The minute she shoved me over I was done. I didn't care anymore. I hated them. I hated them all. The few that had shown kindness to me didn't even try to help me when the crazy she wolf jumped on me.

"Tenten?" It was Chaytan. Okay…It was hard to be mad at him. He must have only been like seven, and he couldn't have been expected to stop the fight.

"What is it Chaytan?"

"Nakota is impressed with you."

"Why?"

"Because you showed kindness after the battle. Even if Kolaki wouldn't except it."

"See Tenten? I told you karma exists."

"Shut up Hinata."

"Okay."

"Well that's good to know. Thank you Chaytan." Chaytan left the teepee and scurried back outside.

"I have a feeling good things are going to start happening."

"Me too Hinata. Me too."
