"When this is all over, come with me and never look back." "Always." ~ Neji Hyuga and Tenten Mitashi have never been close. More like rivals than friends. Until about a year ago when everything changed. And when Neji passes in a war protecting Hinata, Tenten must deal with the loss of her best friend, her teammate, her secret lover. Little did anyone know, Neji and Tenten had planned on getting married and settling down after the war, with no care to what the Hyuga elders will say. Will Tenten make it through this, or will she fade away until there's nothing left?
