Of all the thieves that trained her…

Not one of them could tame her…


Brown hair in two long braids.

Brown eyes sparkling with mischief.

A black smooth tight fitting shirt with long sleeves decorated her upper half. Four inches before her wrist, the sleeves ruffled out, smoothly and silkily. The shirt went down to her waist and smoothly wrapped around, a more transparent material wrapped around her waist as if it were a belt. Dark green trousers were worn around her legs, and she was simply barefoot. Her brown hair was in two long braids that reached her mid back. Across her forehead was a piece of cloth with circlets of gold sewn onto it.

She played with two knives in the middle of the street expertly; some people who passed smiled and dropped coins into her small purple pouch others spit at her. The girl spun her knives carefully, adding three and began juggling them. She moved carefully.

The streets of Venice, Italy were some of the most perfect streets for a gypsy to be at this time. Tenten smiled to herself as the sunset began. She packed up her weapons and her pouch of gold. She put her weapons in the gold pouch and strapped the pouch to her black cloth belt. Tenten grinned as she began moving towards her home.

She began running swiftly, the gold bits on her head wrap jingled softly as she moved. Then, she bumped into something.

"Hey!! Watch where you're going!!" she hissed at the man she ran into.

Tenten got up and spat at the man's feet before taking off towards her home once more.

~Gypsy Woman ~

No one had ever dared to defile him like that.

No one had ever dared to spit at him.

No one.

Especially not some gypsy off the streets of Venice.

And yet, this girl just did. He moved his feet away from the spit near his shoes. He turned around, his pale lavender eyes raised in curiosity. His dark brown hair blew softly in the Venice sunset air.

Prince of Venice.

Son of the Hyuuga Clan, cousin to the lost Duchess Hinata.

Now, next in line to become Duke of Venice.

Neji Hyuuga smirked.

"She interests me."


Was it her face that invaded your mind?

The kind that's not that hard to find?


Tenten smiled as she slid under one of Venice's many bridges. She hung on to one of the many bars under the bride and swung towards a small wall. Tenten knocked on the door twice.

"Password?" a voice from behind the door asked.

"Gypsy Rose. Now let me in Hakura." Tenten replied with a cocky grin.

The door swung open, and she jumped in carefully. Beneath her was a small trap door. The person called Hakura grinned and opened the door, letting Tenten slide through. Tenten landed on the ground, where a tunnel started. She got on all fours and began crawling. Once she reached another wall, she moved found a few bars, and began climbing.

After about fifty four and a half seconds of climbing (yes, she counted) Tenten reached a new door above her. She pulled a lever, and quickly shoved upward, pushing the top off. She put her hands on either side of the opening and pushed herself up. Tenten stood on her two feet as they made contact with the wooden floor.

"I've located him." She said.

"Perfect. You made him think that he found you first?" A voice in the shadows said.

Tenten nodded.

"Good. You know what to do, don't you?" the same voice asked.

Tenten nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Mistress. Destroy Neji Hyuuga."


She makes you think that you found her first

That's how she works

Her sick and twisted gypsy curse

"How was your day?" Lord Hiashi asked his adoptive son quietly.

Neji shrugged.

"I ran into a gypsy girl." He replied quietly.

Lord Hiashi stood up abruptly. His eyes blazed with a fury that only Neji could have known.

"You will not ever interact with gypsies. Is that understood? All their tricks!! Their knife swallowing, their fortune telling!! All lies!! She could rob you blind with just one look from those evil eyes." Hiashi said angrily, while putting up one index finger.

Neji nodded curtly.

"You must not fall for a gypsy."

Neji nodded once more.

'That doesn't mean I cannot be curious…' he thought, smirking inwardly.


She can swallow knives

She can swallow knives

Gold and black stare on the night of your demise

Can't run away with the Gypsy Woman…


Why does Tenten need to destroy Neji?

What does Hiashi have against gypsies?

Why am I starting a new story that I'm not gonna update for two weeks, then update at the bottom of my Four Story Update list?

These questions -except for that last one- will all be answered in the next chapter of 'Broken Twilight'

This story was inspired by the song 'Gypsy Woman' by Hilary Duff on her album 'Dignity'. This is one of a series of gypsy stories. The series is called 'The Tale of Five Gypsies'. The series has -in order- Tenten, Hinata, Sakura, Temari, and Ino.
