The End, the Beginning, and Love…

Tenten's P.O.V

His white. Empty. Lifeless. Orbs. I stared back, wondering if I was dreaming. Chills ran through my body. Sasuke smirked, not that I was focused on him. I couldn't look away from Neji's body. I slowly sank to my knees, and then on all fours. I tried to refrain from puking my guts out. When I failed, at least I didn't get any on the body. It was all I could do to show some kind of emotion. I was just too plain shocked to cry.

"Tenten-chan!" I heard Ino's voice shout. I didn't look for where her voice was coming from. I then heard Shikamaru say something, I only caught the words, 'stay,' 'care,' and 'Ino.'

One of the Sound Jounins from before was about to finish me off (and would have) but Naruto was pretty quick to my defense. That little hyper kid had improved since the academy. I stayed in that curled up position, shaking, willing myself not to look at Neji's body, until a warm, gentle hand began rubbing my back. I looked up and saw tears in Ino's blue eyes. They reminded me that I should cry too.

She wrapped her arms around me and we both sobbed for what seemed like the longest time. When I finally looked up from where I had buried my face in her shoulder. There were several Konoha Jounins standing over the dead bodies of the Sound nins. And the dead body of Neji.

Neji's… gone, was all my mind would tell me.

Ino helped me to my feet, "Let's take you home, Tenten-chan." She whispered, stroking my bangs. I gulped and nodded.

…

I felt like I wasn't even alive. Neji wasn't here. It seemed like such a short while ago that he was sitting on this couch next to me, while I cried about how Hanako's boyfriend left her in the movie.

I also felt like total worthless crap. Neji died protecting me. His life was diffidently worth more than mine! Why would he die for some weak, worthless girl like me, who wasn't of noble blood, when he was Hyuuga Neji the prodigy, one of the best Jounins Konoha had ever seen? It made no sense as much as it frustrated me.

Then, the thought came to me: maybe, he died protecting me, even though I was some weak worthless girl not of noble blood because, he, Hyuuga Neji, the prodigy, one of the best Jounins Konoha had ever seen, loved me? Did Neji actually mean it when he said it? I thought he did, but probably just wanted to think he loved me back as I loved him.

It was just so confusing, horrible and sad!

But through it all, I decided that I would live on without him. I sobbed shamelessly at his funeral, and for the first month after Neji's death put a single rose on his grave every morning.

Nine months later, I gave birth to a baby boy with dark brown hair and pale white eyes. I named him Yutaka. When he was about ten, he began to be able to use the Byakugan as well as any other Hyuuga.

I am Tenten, just Tenten. Tenten of the Leaf, if you will. And that is my story of how just as I came to love a man named Hyuuga Neji, he was ripped mercilessly away from me by cruel fate.

Epilogue

-Ino and Shikamaru began dating and later married. They had two lazy-ass sons, and one preppy-bitchy daughter of whom the only thing on her mind is flirting with guys, sadly enough, especially the ones that always ended up being gay in the end.

-Hinata lived, but walked with a limp on her left foot for about fifty years until she was magically cured by a wood fairy.

-They sentenced Sasuke to a life of being stalked by Fangirls, which would have happened anyway. (Serena- Eww, old-people-Fangirls!)

-Naruto and Hinata got married, but then moved in with the wood fairies after fifty years and had a wonderful retirement in the wood fairy castle.
