Tenten's Hero
Chapter 31- The Finish
Senryu52809 and Shiirya the fox.
Senryu: Yes this is the end of Tenten's hero. Sorry that I didn't warn you but I wasn't expecting to end it in one chapter so here you go.
Shiirya: You guys have been great, and we actually made it to one hundred reviews!
Senryu: I'm gonna miss this story…It was so much fun to write. Sasuke went from evil bastard to innocent boyfriend…I'm confused…
Shiirya: Notice how this story ended up being every pairing but NEJIxTENTEN
Senryu: yeah, sorry about that…it was originally Neji and Tenten…
Shiirya: You even had Inox OC…
Senryu: Just do the damn disclaimer.
Shiirya: We do not own Naruto. Now we present to you…
Senryu: the closing chapter…
Shiirya: To Tenten's hero!
Senryu: Till' next time, Sayonara!
-Senryu52809 and Shiirya the Fox
The kunai clanged to the floor beside Sakura's shoulder. She smiled into Sasuke's chest. "Sakura…"
"Yeah…?"
"You know I can't go back to Konoha...?"
"S-Sasuke…but-"
"I'm a wanted criminal now, I can't go back..."
Sakura griped him a little tighter. "Please, you can't leave again…I'll stay here, with you." She started crying a little. "You… can't go…"
Sasuke smiled a little. Then he raised his hand to Sakura's neck. "I can't let you do that." With a swift hit to her pressure point, Sakura fell into his chest, unconscious. Sasuke sighed to himself and stood up, holding Sakura in his hands. This was just like the night he left Konoha. He smirked; there was one difference though…This time she knew how he felt. Sasuke placed the girl on the floor, and gently placed his lips against hers, kissing Sakura and slipping his tongue into her mouth. He couldn't tear Sakura away from Konoha; she shouldn't have to sit in the dark like he did. Sakura had a future to be fulfilled. When Sasuke joined up with Orochimaru he sealed his fate, he can't make Sakura make the same mistake he did. Even if it means both of them will suffer. Sasuke stood up, leaving Sakura's figure on the floor.
"I'll see you again…I promise…"
----------------------------------------------------------
Sakura twitched a little; her head was pounding, painfully. "…Sasuke…?"
"…Sakura?"
Sakura opened her eyes. Before her were Neji and Tenten, with a small sparrow sleeping in Tenten's lap. They were back on the boat. She looked at the two. "…Tenten…?! You're alive…"
Tenten blushed. "Yeah, Shinji and Neji found me… and Haku saved Neji and me…and were okay…so what about you?"
She nodded.
"That's good. Ino was really worried; she found you unconscious in a room with blood anywhere…"
A memory flashed through Sakura's mind. "Where's Sasuke…?"
Neji sighed. "We searched the castle but there was no sign of him. All we found was this…" In the Hyuuga's hands lay a black Konoha forehead protector with a line going through it. "That's…Sasuke's…" Sakura took it and cradled it in her hands.
Naruto and Hinata ran up to Sakura, smiling.
…and holding hands…
"Sa…Sakura-chan!"
"Sakura you finally woke up! You feel okay?"
Sakura nodded, hiding the forehead protector from Naruto's eyes.
Naruto did a devious grin. "You missed it! Neji and Tenten were kissing! Then they were all lovey and Neji picked Tenten up my the waist and-"
Naruto received a whack from a crimson Neji and Tenten.
"Baka!"
"Naruto…!!!"
Tenten grinned. "In that case Naruto kissed Hinata on the cheek. Then she turned red and blacked out for a couple of minutes; then when she woke up she kissed him back on the lips!"
"…"
"No-no that was just um…a …"
"Don't deny it Naruto…" Tenten laughed.
Neji had apparently not heard of this…"Hinata-sama's dating Naruto…? Then that would make him…my cousin… in law…"
-Silence-
Sakura smiled at her friends and stared at the tiny castle lying across the horizon. On the back of the forehead protector there was a small "Thank you" scratched into the metal. She put her hands on her lips. "I love you too…Sasuke-kun"
Kiba was next to run over to Sakura, followed by Akamaru, Mikomi, and Tonton who pounced on her lap.
"So you're finally awake? Feel okay? You missed it, Neji and Tenten and Naruto and Hinata were kissing to no end! Then Ino and Haku came really close but-"
Sakura laughed. "Ino and Haku…? I thought it was a kiss on the cheek Naruto…?"
Kiba received six death glares from six cherry red shinobi as Shikamaru, Ino, and Haku came into the room.
Ino smiled. "You okay?"
Sakura nodded. "Yea…I guess so."
"That's a relief. This team has been crazy ever since we boarded this ship. You heard about Naruto and Hinata?"
Sakura giggled a little.
Shikamaru came over. "Good thing you're awake, we're going to reach Nami by tomorrow evening."
Haku smiled. "Yeah, Tsunade, Lee, Chouji, Shino, Gaara, Temari, Kankurou, Shinji (human), and Yoh are going to meet us there."
Tenten smiled. "I still can't believe that you guys ran into Shinji, I thought he died…"
Naruto was in an angst corner. "Have you all forgotten…? We kidnapped the Hokage's pig remember? Tsunade is gonna kill us…"
Sakura smiled a little. " At least we can go home now…"
