Untitled Tale
Chapter 1, Another village, another start
"What the hell!" A scream of disbelief roamed through the village of Konoha.
"Proven by your usage of foul language, Tenten, the training is absolutely necessary for a young lady like you…"
"But mom! Nobody cares if my action is womanly or not, for god sake, I hunt! There is no need of urbane manners or gentleness, it is the slaughter and the quarrels that matter!"
"Hunter is never a life, young lady. This training will provide you necessary common sense in behaving like a normal woman…"
"Then I will not be part of the so-called-woman they classified!"
"Look at all of these rude interruptions, my dear! In this phase you will not be able to marry, let along settle down with children! Is obeying and fulfilling your mother's last wish that hard?"
"You are NOT DEAD YET!"
"Just listen and stop arguing. Your training will be starting tomorrow for the next two months, now start packing…"
"SCREW THIS CRAP!"

…And that was the last thing Tenten remembered before she stood in front of the grand Hyuuga mansion. Her fingers tapped viciously on her suitcase as she hesitated to ring the doorbell. She was forced by her stubborn mother to attend to this "necessary" training—the training to become a maid in the Hyuuga's family. This royal Hyuuga family had a great deal of history—it was told that this is where the rich and intelligent people had originated from, most of them were extremely skilled knights and advisers, often served as the king's left or right hand. However, more legendary was the quality of maids and servant this family had provided. All the maids who had successfully completed the training were known as "ideal wives", while the servants were entitled as nobles.
Now, under her lovely mother's order, Tenten would have to adjust herself from the original hunter life to being a maid. Nice switch, eh?
Actually, Tenten doesn't mind having to switch from one live style to another. To her, adapting to the surrounding was a piece of cake. Growing up as a hunter, Tenten had perfect skills in surviving in anywhere with nothing, and is famous for making weapons with her bare hands. However, it is the fact that she has to be a maid—which means, dressed up in black and white lace dresses looking like a doll and acting as a phony. This thought disgusted her deeply as she is a woman of "honesty".
Another thought that irritates her was the history of those who tried to severe in the Hyuugas. There was rumors that maids in that hell mansion were treated like animals or slaves, and often tortured brutally if found in any suspicious attempt of wrongdoing. Tenten actually had friends who been there and retold the story of the cruel treatments.
First, there was Termari, who was saved by her brother Gaara when he realized she was almost forced to drink poison for serving the wrong dessert at the wrong time. Termari was special though, her family was powerful—almost as powerful as the Hyuugas, and there goes the reason why Gaara was able to withdraw her from her fate (Or was it because Gaara almost started a civil war with he heard the news with the Hyuugas? Tenten was unsure.)
Then there was Ino, who snapped out after a week of severing, complaining that she couldn't handle being treated like slaves. In fact, when Ino stopped by her house criticizing over how she lived for the past week, Tenten had noticed mysterious scars and wounds on her arms, as well as blood stains from her work clothes.
Her best friend and another former hunter, Sakura had also been there too, except her case couldn't really be analyzed, considered that she was kidnapped by prince Sasuke during her three months service. However, Tenten did heard that the reason prince Sasuke had kidnapped her was because his spies, who located themselves in the mansion, had reported that Sakura was beaten with sticks by guards when she accidentally mistook the master's sword as a tool to sharpen the fence (There were also rumors that Sasuke had kidnapped Sakura because he had fell in love with her and wanted her for himself, but that was not relevant to current discussed matter). Above all, all the histories past on were horrific tales and Tenten swore to herself that she would NEVER end up like them.
Yet she stood in front of the mansion with her suitcase today, completely betraying her promise. Screw this. After another moment of hesitation, she decided to rang the bell, and start her hell life.
"Well, here goes nothing." She mumbled roughly as her fingers lands on the door bell, which resulted in an immediate appear of about ten guards, with swords hung in front of her.
"How may we help you, miss?" They echoed emotionless in unity.
"Umm, I am Tenten, I came to train." Shit, I forgot to keep my weapons handy, what if they decided to attack? Wise move, Tenten.
"You came here to train? Then you must…" Before those guards echoed in unity once again, a cold hard voice had interrupted.
"Who is there?" Double shit, a voice that sounded powerful. Dead meat walking here.
"A new maid had come to train, young master." The guards responded, still emotionless.
"…New maid?" The "young master" sounded puzzled, "By the way she responded, no wonder she needs training." Triple shit, I didn't even enter the mansion yet and I am already being scoffed by some young-master-jerk inside. And it looks like his month NEEDS some serious fixing as well.
Before Tenten could think of how she could chop up the "young master" into fifty pieces and deep fry him into burnt brown, a man who reminded Tenten of her hunting partner Lee appeared in front of her.
First word that accessed her mind upon meeting: thick. His eye brows are remarkably thick... errrm, that was not nice…big…huge…enormous…okay, that was not nice either…abnormal—another wrong word for description…hmm, special, too special that Tenten could only focus on it before his strong voice dragged her back to reality.
"Hello, miss, your name must be Tenten, am I correct?" Upon her small nod, he continued, "my name is Gai, and I am the one and only one in this world perfect at training maids and servant with my youthful spirit! By the time you are done with my personal training, you would be good and ready to serve with all ten of your sense—like your name, Tenten!"
Haha. No shit. Tenten smiled lightly at him before groaning at herself. This is
going to be a long two months.
Aha. Sorry if it's all bad so far. For those who doesn't necessary understood my wording (I know it's bad), here is a summary for some catch ups:
Tenten is a famous hunter, and especially good at making weapons with bare hands. However, her mother doesn't think that hunter would lead to a "nice fulfilling life of normal woman-hood", thus sent her to the Hyuuga mansion to train as a maid to gain experience on "how to act more womanly". Tenten dislike this idea because a, she had to work as a maid, and b, there were terrible histories of how the Hyuugas had treated their maids. Unwillingly, she rang the doorbell, just to greet with a mouthful of scoffing from the mysterious "young-master" whom she did not meet yet. At this point, a man approached her and introduced himself as Gai.
Hope it all makes sense now. This is my first longer-fiction, so bear with me. I will do my best to finish the fanfiction…(in the past, all of my fanfictions had been discontinued or just forgotten because I ran into writers block or got lazy). Thank you.
Once again, my apology for the horrific grammar and spelling. Hopefully their improvement will be seen as I continue this fiction. Review is optional.
