Chapter One

The News

It was 5:00 in the morning. The sound of metal clashing together fill the air. Yes, this was usually the wake up call in Konoha, because of Neji and Tenten. What a wonderful sound to wake up to. Let's check up on our little shinobi shall we?

" Neji, I'm freezing!" Tenten complained.

" Get used to it." Neji snareled.

" Your such a jerk sometimes you know. I mean all you care about is your cold hearted self."

" Hn"

" Ugh! Forget it!"

They both stood their being as numb as a popcicle. The freezing wind whipped across their faces and slid down their backs. It was silent, to silent.

" AH IT'S OUR BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOMING FLOWER OF YOUTH!" yep that broke the silence. And it's all thanks to their wonderful sensia.

' ugh why, why does this always happen to me!' Tenten thought to herself.

" Well as you all must know, the chunin Final exams are here! Now Tenten, I know that you didn't pass the parlimary rounds, but I talked to the judges and the Hokage and I told them that you sprained your arm just before the exams started, and he totally bought it! So now Tenten I want you to work VERY, VERY, VERY hard and win!" Guy Sensia pleaded with joy.

Tenten looked dumbstruck.

" Guy Sensia, are you CRAZY! I could have beaten Tamari if I wanted to! But I knew Neji wanted the glory to himself since there's no doubt that he'll lose even if he gets Sasuke, he'll win! And I knew how much this meant to him. Besides, even if I did make chunin, it wouldn't matter, because no one would care if I did." Tenten explained.

" But Tenten, Guy Sensia, is letting you have another chance to become a chunin." Neji butted in. He may have looked like he wasn't paying attencion, but he was.

" Fine. I'll try and become a chunin. But I'm still only doing this for Guy Sensia and our team. I couldn't care less if I became a chunin or not." Tenten finished. Everyone stared at her, Guy sensia and Lee felt horrible. Neji on the other hand was finishing the little argument he and his inerself were having.

' I did not want all glory to myself.'

' Are you sure about that?'

' yeah I'm sure.'

' Whatever'

' ugh! Your no help!'

' Hey, I'm just doing my job.'

" Neji, earth to Neji." Tenten said as she was waving her hands in front of Neji's face. Trying to get him to snap out of it.

" Neji!" he finaly snaped out of it.

"hn"

" Did you hear what I'm going to do?"

" yes"

" good"

" then I'll see you here tomarrow morning at 4:30 am." And with that she walked home. Even though it was still early in the morning, she had to go and talk to Tsunadae for her mission. But that was at 10:00 am, so she just wanted to go and relax. She went home took a nice long hot bath, then ate breakfast. She tried to take a nap since it was only 8:00 but she just couldn't sleep, so she just laid down and thought about things.

' what if I have to fight someone stronger then Temari in the final rounds? What if I have to fight Sasuke or Gaara or even worse Neji? I know that I could fight Sasuke and Gaara easily cause I don't know or like any of them. But Neji, Neji's different. If I did get him there's no way I could fight him. I like him to much, maybe even love him but I we did have to fight, would be having this much of a problem. Training with him everyday is different, I mean that's not in a front of a bunch of people. If I failed then I could never show my face in Konoha or in front of Neji again. He would think I'm weak and useless. Well whatever happends to me, as Neji would say it, " you were destined to it".

Would you look at the time it's 9:45am. I guess time flys when your in deep thought.

She ran to Tsunadea's office arriving right on time.

"good morning Tsunade-chan" Tenten greated.

" Good morning to you to Tenten." Tenten sat down in a chair next to Tsunade's desk.

" I was told that you had a mission for me."

" Ah yes, I do. This may be the most important mission in your life Tenten. Are you sure that you want to do this mission?"

" Yes." Tsunade's big smile was starting to scare Tenten. I mean who wouldn't be scared?

" Very well then. Your mission is to……"

Tsunade didn't even finish her sentence she just got up and walked towards Tenten. She held on to Tenten's shoulder and mumbled a few words. Then all of a sudden they arrived at the Hyuga Compound. Tenten was confused.

" Tsunade-chan, why are we at the Hyuga Compound?"

" You'll see. Tenten you'll see." Tenten felt and wished that she never would have excepted this mission.
