Chapter 1

In Tsunade's office...

"TenTen, since you are the one who found him at the river banks I want you to take care of him... in a village that is peaceful, a village where there are no ninjas, just a normal life village," Tsunade told to the girl with two buns, standing in front of her.

"Tsunade-sama, then what about my team?" the 15 year-old chuuin questioned.

"Don't worry, they are more than capable of going missions on their own," the fifth hokage assured, giving her a smile that mothers give when they want to assure their kids. "Everything's done for you; the house is all set up. When Itachi wake up, and ask about him, tell him that you're his sister..."

The female hokage was cut off by the girl in front of her. "I don't mean to be rude but...lie to him? What happened to him?!"

"I want you to fill him with pleasurable memories to make him a... you know, not a gloomy person he was. So later when his memories return to him, he'll, hopefully be our ally," the hokage said, omnisciently.

TenTen nodded, in a sad way that is. She doesn't want to disobey her idol, nor does she want to leave her team. God knows how long this mission will last.

Tsunade handed her an envelope, a very thick one. "You'll need money living there, to start a living,"

"Thanks Hokage-sama but it is too much," she said, browsing the envelop to find numerous sheets of money.

"You'll need it," she just smiled and rest her eyes. "It's an A rank mission, though, living with a former member of Akatsuki is dangerous,"

"Gai-sensei, it was somewhat fun learning under you," her eyes turn sideways towards lee. " though sometimes annoying,"

"It was an honour teaching you too, TenTen. I will never forget those youthful times when I taught you!" Gai-sensei said in his usual loud voice, active as always, hyperactive would be more like it.

"TenTen, we'll miss you. You know how long it will take?" Lee asks, using the same volume level as Gai.

"Don't know," she smiled to cheer up her gloomy looking friend. "But I'm sure that it'll be over soon," she places her hand on his shoulder to lighten up his mood.

"Neji," finally she turns to face him.

Lee drag Gai-sensei away to train, he did that on purpose, wanting to give his team mates some privacy.

"People come people go. I understand..." he face down to the ground staring at the grass which seems to be greener today or to him. "You will come back soon, right?" he asks after a moment's silence with a light blush covering his face.

That wasn't much of a caring way but it was enough for her, she lightens up in a happy way. "If there's someone waiting for me," a slight blush also covered her face.

"There's Gai-sensei, he would like to spend time improving your skills. There's also Lee that'd want you back earlier," he said, nervously, thinking for what to say.

"I want you to wait for me," TenTen finally says. It's now or who knows how long. Her blush reddens, she has no way to hide it, dang the buns.

"..." he blushes harder, into scarlet red.

"You will right?" her blush turns into crimson red. The blush colour competition starts here!

"..." he was speechless, piercing through her hazel eyes, hoping to reach the bottom of it.

"Neji?"

"Yes," he nodded, grabbing her arms gently. "I will, so you better come back soon,"

"Neji..."

The next day, TenTen was on a ride in a horse carriage with Itachi, sleeping soundly. TenTen look sideways then at him every second. 'Will he believe about our relationship?' She shook her head. 'Think positively!' she told herself, forcibly.

The carriage stops so she crawled out and asks the driver. "Have we arrived?"

"Yes, we are now in Blossom village," the driver replied, voice as flat as... Shikamaru's.

"Thanks, you can now return to Konoha and tell the Hokage that we have arrived safely," TenTen gave some tips for the road. The driver helped her set her things in the house and carried Itachi onto the mattress that TenTen had awhile ago set up.

The house is a normal size house, just perfect. It's not too big, and not too small. There aren't a lot of neighbours around. Their house is near the woods, not too far from others. Only a few houses are there, and they were scarcely scattered.

'Tsunade-sama's pick is perfect,' she said, enjoying the fresh breeze that just entered the house. 'Not to mention about the thin population,'

When night falls

In Itachi's room...

His fingers twitched, his eyes opened little by little. The room is dark, so it's easy to open them, as well as adjusting to the scarce light in the room. He got up in a sitting position and glared down at his hands which are held out. He studied around the room. He tried recalling somethings; his hands were now holding his head because of the headache that followed.

Outside his room...

He walks out of the room, only to get more headaches since he can't remember anything. The more he tried to recall, the worse it gets. He looked up; there was a room with light stored in it, and assumed that it's the only room someone could possibly be in, so he slid open the slide screen door and stepped inside. The only light in the room is the light that glows from the lit candle.

The only girl in the room, the only living thing in the room, gasped in exclamatory. "You're... you're awake?!"

Seeing her eat, made his stomach grumble. His stomach bellowed, he puts his hands on his stomach, hoping that will block the communication his stomach is using.

TenTen got up and get a bowl and filled rice in it. "It seems that you are hungry, here, have dinner," she sat down on her seat and settled Itachi's bowl on her opposite direction.

He didn't think further and just sat down in front of her and pick up the chopstick and started eating rice, only rice.

TenTen, seeing him eating eat only rice didn't make her feel so well. While he's eating just rice, she's enjoying the meal she bought! So she poured some curry in his bowl and puts in some meatballs. "Don't just eat rice, have some curry," she strained herself a smile, hoping it would look warm enough to make him believe she's his family.

"Thank you,"

They finished their meal. "Wait, I'll prepare the fruits," she said and got up to the fruit basket and grabbed 2 apples and started peeling them after she settled back in her seat.

"Why are you doing this for me?" he asked, all of a sudden.

'Does he know? Then he didn't lose his memory?! Then I can go home?! Or will I get killed for being misunderstand that I kidnapped him?' her mind pinwheeled.
