Sakura Chapter 19

Chapter nineteen


TenTen sat in quiet as we glanced at her as she was playing with her fingers, "S-so what you guys think?"

Ino slammed her fists in protest, but I stopped her as I grabbed TenTen's hands and smiled at her. Truth is, it was the greatest thing to hear, after last year her only child she bared was taken in by the Hyuga family, after loosing Neji, the love of her life in the war, and finally being able to enter life and love again. I was truly happy for her as I looked deep into her eyes. "I am happy for you and I think Lee would really like that."

TenTen blushed, "B-but he is in love with you, Sakura! So there isn't a way he will ever." I shook my head to her.

"I made Lee promise me that if I wasn't in love with Sasuke after the war I would date him, but I was in love with Sasuke he would have to move on. I see he kept his word, so go for it I think he likes you as well." I smiled at her and she began to giggle. It was honestly cute to hear TenTen giggle like she did. After such a hard two years she was able to sit across from me with a smile and a laugh. I could hardly imagine the love of my life dieing, even having to be strong when I saw there body, and then after months give birth to their child only for it to be taken away. It must have been hard for her to cope, but Ino finally understood why I stopped her as we allowed TenTen to laugh in front of us. It was a weight off my heart knowing she was able to laugh again. "So you should tell him, I think Lee likes people who try their best to get somewhere instead of hoping it comes to you." TenTen smiled.

"You sure know him well." She smiled. "He told me after the Hyuga family took Eri, that in time if I tried hard enough to fight them, I could see Eri again." Hinata smiled.

"She got to see Eri as he was just beginning to walk yesterday." She smiled and TenTen laughed as she pulled out a photo to us. "He is a loving boy."

TenTen smiled, "He has a lot of Neji in him. Lee said he wishes to hold Eri one day." We smiled at her as she spoke lots of Lee and Eri. It didn't look like her face was covered in depression anymore as she smiled and kissed he picture. "The family, under Hinata's orders, are allowing me to have him for a whole week starting tomorrow."

We looked at her, and Hinata smiled. "It was a lot of work to convince the elders to allow it, but they said that it is also best. Since TenTen is a weapon expert that Eri might become a great asset to the clan." Hinata's face flustered red, "I am thinking of turning over my main branch title to him." TenTen dropped her glass of tea and Ino started chocking on a piece of BBQ pork.

"You are what!" Temari slammed her hand looking at her.

"Because Eri wouldn't be in risk of what happen to Neji's father..." Hinata smiled. "He won't be burden with the curse mark like Neji and his father was." She smiled as she sipped her tea as TenTen leaned over and hugged her tightly in her arms and we could see her mouth the words, 'thank you.' As tears fell down her face.

Our girl's night ended and we didn't get the information out of Temari, but she promised that we will know soon and we parted ways. Temari and Ino towards the shop. TenTen and Hinata, TenTen crying on her shoulder in happiness, toward the Hyuga clan main house. I stood still watching as I pulled the chime from my hair and walked home. It was a nice cooling night as I stared up into the stares wonder what will tomorrow bring?
