Behind My Back

TenTen's POV

I leaned against the wall and sighed. Listening to my friends talking behind about me behind my back wasn't exactly the best experience to go through.

Flashback

I was walking and I paused when I heard my friends say my name about a corner ahead of me. "I don't get why we hang out with her," grumbled Sakura.

"I agree with Sakura-chan," Naruto said quietly, "I could probably beat her in seconds."

I heard Ino laugh, "And it's not like her status is really helping in our popularity or anything. The only thing known about her is that she's an orphan that the principal took in out of pity!"

"Hn," muttered the Uchiha prodigy. He sounded pretty much indifferent to the whole thing.

"I-I g-guess she i-isn't t-that s-s-strong……" Hinata stammered.

"Hn," I heard the Hyuuga prodigy mumble.

I could almost Kiba shrug from his tone of voice, "I suppose she's alright……. but I probably could beat her. I mean, has she ever beaten us?"

"Guys it's not that youthful to talk about our teammate that way!" yelled Lee. Then his voice lowered, "I suppose she isn't that strong but…….."

I heard Chouji munching on his chips, "She's a nice girl, I mean she never objects to me eating."

I heard Shikamaru sigh, "This is too troublesome to deal with………"

I heard the sound of someone slamming there fist against something, "You too Lee!" yelled an angry sounding Temari, "TenTen's the toughest chick I know, she's not the one that stalks a boy because they're obsessed!"

I heard Sakura and Ino yell something back before I calmly walked around the corner and faced them. "Hey guys," I greeted as I would normally. I looked at the scowls one Neji and Sasuke's faces, the standing Sakura, Ino, and Temari, and the guilty look in Hinata's eyes. I raised my eyebrows in a convincing surprised look, "Is something up guys?"

Hinata began nervously pushing her fingers together, "I-It's n-nothing T-T-TenTen-san."

I looked at Hinata, "Hinata, you're turning bight red, I don't really think there's a worse way to tell a lie." Hinata began stammering excuses about something, "It's okay," I said with a smile. I turned and looked at all of them in the eye, "I'm only surprised by what Hinata and Lee said. I suppose true friends are hard to find yes?" They all glanced at me in surprise, my expression hardened the slightest bit, "It's okay, I won't bother you guys anymore. Continue to live your own life!" I waved to them cheerfully as I walked pass them and to my new class.

"Oi bun head, wait up you idiot!" yelled Temari behind me. I turned to see her give all of them a scathing look and hurry away. She grinned at me cheerfully, "You thought you could walk out of my life? Well, you're wrong. I'd rather be a unpopular loser and have my best friend then be a popular and lose the only true friend I have."

I smiled at her softly then pulled my hood over my head while I walked to my motorcycle, a birthday gift from Temari, "Are you sure, you have complete potential to be a popular. Beautiful, rich, well known family…….."

Temari laughed and tried to hit my head, "No thanks!" she yelled as she threw one leg over her motorcycle. Then we were both off, racing back to Temari's house.

I was sitting on the couch with my head on Temari's thighs as we laughed and talked about what Gaara and Kankuro's reaction would be if they saw us. We both sat up and glanced to the door when we heard it open, "Hey little bros!" yelled a cheerful Temari.

I grinned at them, "Yo."

Gaara glanced at me then at the bags next to the door, "She's staying over?" he asked calmly.

Temari shook her head, "Sakura and Ino were talking about her behind her back and now she doesn't want to live with them. She would normally go to the Hyuugas but both of the Hyuugas were talking about her too. So, can she stay with us, we're going to share a room and we promise not to mess with your angsty time or Kankuro's puppet time."

Gaara looked like he was going to refuse when Temari pulled the puppy dog pout. "Fine, fine," he grumbled, "Is it okay with her parents?"

Temari stiffened but I just smiled, "I don't know my parents or if they're even alive Gaara-san."

His facial expression softened, "Sorry," he muttered looking awkward.

I grinned cheerfully, "Don't worry about it," I said cheerfully. To be perfectly honest, I really didn't care. I never knew them or met them and never seemed to want to see me so I decided I just didn't have parents.

Temari was about to say something when someone rang the doorbell. Temari walked over to the door and yanked it open, "What!" she yelled at whoever was there.

"Stop being so loud troublesome woman," grumbled Shikamaru.

I looked over Temari's shoulder to see a disgruntled Shikamaru standing there. "What do you want?" Temari growled, hostility in her eyes.

Shikamaru sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "Look, everyone said they're sorry and they want you guys back in the group."

Temari cocked her head to the side confused, "But……"

I cut in, "Let me guess, they need Temari's popularity and they know she won't come unless I do."

Shikamaru sighed and stared up at the heavens, "That's pretty much what I summed up, yeah."

I rolled my eyes, "Tell them I said to go fuck themselves for me, 'kay?" Shikamaru hid a grin when I said this and nodded.

Temari's eyes hardened, "Tell them to leave me alone or I'll ask Gaara to answer the door, 'kay?" she said to Shikamaru.

He sighed, "How troublesome……."

I grinned, "Oh yeah, tell everyone that if I own any of their trash, I'll return it. Also tell the Hyuugas that they have five days to return my weapons completely unharmed or I'll chop their place to pieces." Shikamaru raised his eyebrows as if to ask how on earth I'll do that. I smirked, "I don't need to see my weapons to use them," I said evily.

Shikamaru sighed and turned to Temari, "Are you going to avoid me as well?" he asked quietly.

Temari stiffened, and began yelling, "NONE OF YOU GUYS STOOD UP FOR HER. THE ONLY ONE THAT CAME EVEN CLOSE TO THAT WAS CHOUJI AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW TENTEN THAT WELL. LEE AND HINATA, THE TWO PEOPLE THAT TENTEN COUNTS AS SIBLINGS JUST TURNED THEIR BACK ON HER AND THAT HYUUGA WAS BEING A COMPLETE ASS! YOU JUST MUTTERED THAT IT WAS TOO TROUBLESOME AND YOU EXPECT ME TO COME RUNNING TO YOUR ARMS OR SOME CRAP LIKE THAT!?!"

Shikamaru sighed, "I never do things like that. I only did that once and that was for Chouji."

Temari bit her lip, "Just go Shika, TenTen always counted you as a brother and you always considered one of the few females that weren't too troublesome." She gently stepped back, "I suppose I'll see you at school, bye Shika-kun….."

Shikamaru looked at her in the eyes, "I doubt it," he muttered before turning and walking back.

Temari shut the door completely and slid down, "I feel drained," she whispered.

I looked at my best and pretty much only friend, "Oh wheat hair," I whispered giving her a slight hug, "It's going to be alright, Shikamaru's just an idiot."

Temari looked at me with glassy eyes, "No TenTen……. now that Shika and I am not an official couple, Ino's just waiting to pounce on him……"

I looked at her glassy eyes with my own sad ones, "Sorry Tem-chan…."

She shook her head, and stood up, "It's okay, come one, lets get ready fro school tomorrow."

I moaned and hit my head against the door, "I sit next to one of them in practically all my classes!"

Temari cracked up, "I'm sure you'll –hahaha- find a new seat or –hahaha- something….." she gasped out between laughs.

I sighed and thumped my head again until a bunch of sand grabbed me and dragged me back, "Stop trying to ruin our door will you?" Gaara grumbled.

Temari finally stopped laughing and motioned for me to follow her, "Come on, Gaara already got your bags up there, now we just need to get you up there!"
