"...No need to be so dramatic about it..." I piped up, eye half closed. "It wasn't hard, just... hell," I nodded at my description and shrugged, "Maybe if you come to our dimension, you'll get the 'lucky' chance to meet him... though, chances are thin..." At her question, I brought a hand to my chin, "Hm, let's see... everyone, mostly. They all fear him. Well, cowards, anyways." I dropped my hand and laid it on the grass, chuckling ever so, "Hell if I know. And yeah, it is." 'Tching', I laid back down, eye gazing up at the galaxy.

"...Stop being dramatic." I repeated like a broken record, a smirk spreading on my face. It faded into the usual slight scowl I always held though, "Why? ...Why do you want to meet him? Despite your great respect towards him, is there another reason?" Before I had time to notice, she had also laid down, flailing her arms in the air dramatically. I huffed out a sigh - not dramatic my ass.

"hmph... Fine i'll just stop talking if you wanna..." I suggested sounding upset. "I dunno... I wanna meet him cuz he sounds interesting, plus I would like to meet the person that won against, the great Zoro." I let out poking his cheek out of boredom.

"Go ahead." I challenged, a hint of mischief buried in my voice. "....Interesting? Hell no, he's just boring..." I chuckled deeply, "Tch, that was a long time ago. I can take him on now...!" I glared when she started poking my cheek, something Luffy always did when I was sleeping, and I flicked her nose in return.

"Nope!! I'll continue to talk!!" I said giggling at how pissed off he might be. "Still wanna meet him just cuz I wanna!!" I let out. As he flicked my nose I made that same face last time he flickdd my forehead: >A<

At her response, I twitched in frustration. "Make up your freakin' mind, woman..." I grumbled, rolling an eye. "Then, I promise that you'll meet him...m'kay?" I sighed, eye turning back in range of the sky.

"Aye, it's a.... promise." Damn, never thought I'd say those words again; unless it had to do with the crew, of course. Never thought it'd hurt to say 'em, either. I took a deep breath, reminding myself of the friends I had now - Yeah, no matter how much it felt like it, I wasn't alone. I grinned like an oblivious idiot.

"Trust me, I'll keep it." I sent a glare to the Kunoichi as she poked my cheek once more. After a second or so of non-stop jabbing, I snapped at her finger lightly, jaw popping while doing so. I smirked, "Heh, anyways, you got a past story? If you don't mind me asking, that is..."

( Tatsuo-nii-chan was made up at the spot!! XDD haha )

"Nothing as big as yours... lived alone with my brother my whole life. My parents died protecting Konoha village before I even remember and I was left living with my older brother." I let out shrugging my shoulders as I starred up at the sky. "My older brother raised, trained, and taught me... how to use weapons with scrolls, to become strong, and independent so I won't be pushed around so easily, like usual girls. He's the reason why I am the way I am right now, Temari could tell right away that Tatsuo ( name meaning Dragon Male ) was my brother right away, since we are so much alike."

"I'm different from the other girls of my generation... Well besides Temari but she's in the Sunagakure, Village Hidden in the Sand. Between Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and I... I'm the more independent one... from what Hinata said, though. Anyways, my brother was even more skilled with weapons than I was... and probably still am." I rambled on with a smile rememebering all the times that he had always won when fighting against me. "He was kinda like you, Zoro. Always reminded me of the facts, even the harsh ones. Although other than that, he was kind and over protective over me.... Talking about him makes me miss him... it's been almost two and a half years since I saw him." I thought about Tastuo, remembering the day he left on a long term missioin.

"But other than that, everything else is pretty normal... well what i call normal." I let out smiling up at the sky now thinking about my older brother, the only family i had, almost kinda made my eyes tear up a little... without my noticing.



( sorry it's not as long as yours Zoro ;/\; )

(lol it doesn't matter how long it is (; You got a good imagination to make that up on spot^^)


'Nothing as big as yours...' What did she think? That my past was somehow more special than hers? Had more meaning? Hell no. Just hell no. Everyone had their own place in this world, had their own meaning in life; no one was more important than another. I would save my thoughts for the end, though. I closed an eye and listened as intently as when Luffy would give one of his rare, serious speeches.

So that's where she got her skills and attitude from, an older brother. I suppose that I am, in fact, glad that someone was there to teach and watch over Tenten. Independence - To be self-supporting, to not be controlled by another, to be able to function by yourself, and yourself alone. Also, to show confidence in oneself. Important necessities in life. Sure, it had its setbacks, but everything did. And I had to agree, Tenten was quite the independent one. I chuckled lightly at her admitting of her brother being more skilled... but, I knew that the Kunoichi had also gotten much more skilled within the arts of weapons, so who knew if she was better, equal, or a little beneath him. Though, I doubt the last opinion. She mentioned my name, her saying that I was similar to him. I smirked and shook my head unconsciously. However, a word caught up with me: Was. He was. Which means... he was dead? Gone? Damn... I shouldn't have asked about her past. Relief tidal-waved over me when she said it had been about 2 and a half years since she’s seen him. Well, it kinda did. It didn't mean he was still breathing, for all we know, he could be dead...

I didn't know how to respond. I was just... silent. I saw tears forming in her eyes. Was she trying to hold them back? I sighed with a mutter of, "Leave the weeping to the willow tree."

( aww thanks! x9 )



Noticing that i was tearing, i sat up and wiped my eyes with the my sleeves turning away from Zoro. "Heh, right..." I let out trying to smile. I always have had a strong distaste for weakness or being overly dependent on other people... especially crying in front of people.

(Your welcome^^)

"...I don't think your brother would want to see you sad, either. So, cheer up... I guess...?" I absolutely failed at this comforting thing, if you even want to call it that. I slapped my forehead and grunted. "Look, if ya don't cheer up, I'll kick your ass, m'kay?" That was a failure, too. I huffed out an irritated sigh while rolling over, back facing Tenten.

I raised an eyebrow surprisingly, "Nani? It worked?" My voice was muffled by grass, and I rubbed a tired scarred eye. I glanced back over my shoulder to see a usual, smiling Tenten. Then I dropped my head back on the ground, waving a hand in the air, "Meh, no problem..."

I stood up and took a breath, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes best as I could. Someone had to take watch, and I really didn’t have a problem doing it. Plus, Tenten was rightfully tired. I strolled over to the trunk of a tree and leaned against it, arms crossed over my chest. Eh, I'd probably end up falling asleep anyways, but oh well.

After the Kunoichi had fallen asleep, I took a deep breath and exhaled harshly. Then, I raised my right hand to the scarred eye, tracing the mark that would forever be there with a fingertip. I lowered my head, placing my palm over the eye, and tilted my vision up to the night sky. I stared at it for what seemed like forever, but, in reality, only for a minute or a little over so. A slight smile appeared on my face, but it quickly turned into a scowl with an narrowed eye. Someone was near, their breath clearly sounding in my ears no matter if they were close or far. My right hand dropped to clench the sheath of Shusui, left hand flashing over to the hilt. I crouched like a wolf getting ready to pounce upon its prey. "Who the hell are you?" I snarled when the foe had appeared in front of me. I drew Shusui out of its sheath partially, a clinking noise echoing through the calm, breezy air. Whoever this guy was, was gonna get his ass kicked.

I narrowed my eye into a death glare, straightened back up, but still kept my hand on the hilt of the katana. "You expect me to trust your words? Heh, snap out of your dreams." I spat. I stuck to my words, even after he took off that mysterious mask. Looks didn’t faze me one bit. "Anyone who has been eavesdropping can walk up and simply state that." Earning my trust wasn’t easy, hell, it took Robin forever to do so.

"Techniques. Show off your fighting style." I said sternly, eye watching the so-called Tastuo. It irritated me a bit that he kept smiling, acting as though the matter wasn't at all serious.

(Sorry for the short post... too lazy to write anything longer right now xD)
