Chapter 1.
Friends or Foes: Enemies from the start!
Neji POV
My name is Hyuuga Neji and I live in small town called Konoha. I am attending high school currently and I am third year. Pretty good huh? Anyway, I live with my cousin Naruto Uzumaki since last year because he lost his parents in car accident. My life would be ordinary, but we have had to move to bigger town and left all we know behind us. Naruto will naturally follow me. He is good kid, if I can call him 'kid' now since he is second year at high school. He has blonde spiky hair and unbelievably pure set of blue eyes. I myself don't look so bad- I have long black hair to my waist and set of very weird eyes- they are white. However, in my town nobody paid attention to that, but I'm afraid that that is going to change.
Third person POV
Two very unalike persons exited cab in front of small but beautiful house in periphery of the big town of Tokyo. Neither of the boys liked noise, so they decided to move in some small but cozy house. Blonde boy stared in awe at small house as his cousin walked up from behind him.
'Do you like it Itoko (1)?' asked cheerfully Neji.
'Yeah! I like it very much Neji-nii-san (2). It's beautiful!'
The house had two floors. When they entered house they were welcomed buy smell of new and unused things. Small wooden corridor was leading straight into the kitchen, dinning room and living room. On the left was bathroom and on the right were staircases for the next floor. When boys entered the dinning room, Naruto gaped at sight before him: rooms were decorated with very expensive looking pictures and apparatus for the kitchen were all from the 'new age'. Naruto tossed his bag aside and run up on the second floor. There were two doors- one on the left and one on the right. He approached and saw his name written on the door. He opened it and squealed in delight- in the middle of the room was almost king sized bed with yellow and orange colors. Behind the bed was window that was looking at the back yard and back alley. On the left was dresser, on the right was desk with bookcase, and doors that leads to the separate bathroom.
'I have my own bathroom!'- He yelled.
'I see you like your room. Come and see mine.'- said Neji from the door. Naruto turned instantly and he was in few seconds in Nejis room. His eyes sparkled and then he pouted:
'You have prettier room!'
Neji laughed heartedly and eyed his room. His room was white and violet, with shades of dark blue. He also had almost king-sized bed in center, window behind that was looking on the main street. Beside the bed was Neji pride and joy- his guitar 'Fender Stratocaster' in color of midnight black with white strings. On the left was closet, on the right was similar with Narutos' room- desk with bookcase, and doors that leads to his own bathroom.
Naruto turned towards his cousin:
'Nii-san, can I use your room when I bring home some girl?'
Neji raised an eyebrow. 'Why?' – He asked curiously.
'It looks so much cooler!'
Neji laughed at this. 'Baka! You can change your room whenever you like if you don't love it.'
Naruto get serious face:' Bit I do love it… Maybe I will add some posters to look more mature!'
Neji sighed: 'whatever you like, Itoko. Now, let's get unpacked. I'm starving.'
Naruto nodded and they went down to pick up their stuff.
After two hours of pulling and carrying things, two brothers sat down to eat. Naruto was eating his favorite: ramen, while Neji was eating rice and fish. Neji looked at Naruto and said with serious face;
'You will die one day from that instant ramen you are eating.'
Naruto smiled and looked at his brother:
'Ifont!'{Meaning- I won't}
Neji rolled his eyes: 'before you talk swallow and before you swallow chew. That's the rule,'
Naruto mumbled: ufnttefttodoth!' {Meaning- You will not tell me what to do}
Nejis eye twitched.
'Swallow Naruto! And then talk!'
Naruto looked up at Neji and sucked up noodle that was hanging out of his mouth. Nejis eye twitched again.
'You look like a baby.'
Naruto giggled. Neji raised his chopsticks and pointed at Naruto.
'Behave. Now, upstairs in your room on your bed, there is a school uniform. I think it will fit you good. And just for you to know, we are going at the same high school.'
Naruto coughed.
'WHAT?'
'You heard me right. Now finish your dinner and go to sleep. We have school tomorrow and we don't want to be late for it.'
Narutos' shoulders slouched in defeat. He hoped he could play few games on his new Play Station 3, but it will have to wait.
Next morning:
Neji looked critically at himself in his bathroom mirror. His long hair cascaded down his back and only one thing was holding it from falling on his eyes- hair binder in white color. He was wearing white shirt and deep blue blazer along with deep blue trousers. He smirked at his reflection in the mirror and exited his bathroom and room with his one-arm backpack over his shoulder. When he came down the staircases, he saw pouting figure on the bed. He sighed and approached his cousin.
'What's wrong now?'
Naruto shot glare towards Neji and then stared in awe. After few seconds, he yelled:
'Why do I have to wear red uniform and you blue?! I look like a girl in this!'
Neji frowned:
'Because all students of the second year wear red uniforms. And I wear blue because …'
'… All students of third year wear blue. Got it.' Neji smiled.
'Don't worry. You should have seen what color is wearing first year.'
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
'Light green.'
'EWWWWWW!' Yelled Naruto.
Neji nodded; 'I said that myself.'
Naruto picked up his backpack and with his brother left the house.
They were walking in peace for few minutes- Naruto was looking at his surroundings and tried to remember all of the important places. When they came at bus station, there were already two boys waiting for bus- one wearing deep blue and one wearing red. Narutos eyes lit up.
'They are going in the same school as we.'
Neji nodded solemnly. Naruto saw seriousness on his brothers' face and he became instantly serious as him. When they approached bus station, Neji leaned casually at the lamppost and closed his eyes, and Naruto stood beside him quietly. Two boys looked at the strangers and than at each other and smirked. Taller nodded and smaller turned and crossed his arms:
'Look what do we have here brother. Newbie's.'
Naruto looked at the raven closely: he had obsidian color of the eyes with small line of red in them, very lean but strong figure, every piece of clothe was on its place and his raven hair was combed carelessly so it was falling on the obsidian eyes.
'So?' he tried to sound uninterested even though he was burning inside to meet him properly, but Nejis stance were saying not to go too far with complete strangers. Strangers' smirk grew wider:
'It happens that I, from some reason don't like strangers?'
Naruto frowned. What the hell is wrong with this guy? Does he want a fight?
'If you don't like stranger than why are you talking to us?' As he saw that smirk from raven boy faded, he smirked him self.
Raven boy scowled; 'Watch your mouth, punk.'
That was enough for Naruto to explode from anger because since his parents died, everybody called him drop out and punk. Neji knew that and when Naruto started moving dangerously towards raven, his hand shot up in front of him.
'That was enough, Itoko.'- said calmly Neji, still not opening his eyes. Naruto looked at his brother and stepped back, and Neji pulled his hand back and crossed them in front of his chest.
Raven smirked:
'Coward'- he stated casually.
'I DARE you say that AGAIN!'- yelled out Naruto, losing all of his self-control.
'I said ENOUGH!'- yelled Neji and grabbed Naruto preventing him from jumping on raven. Then he shot ice glare towards raven. Raven stepped back startled when he made eye contact with pure white eyes.
'As for you my 'dear little friend', you better stop taunting him. I can't control him always."
Before smaller raven could answer, taller said:
'And because of that you are fighting his fights?'
Neji looked at him. His obsidian eyes had red outline and his hair was tied in pony tale, only some of his bangs were released and they were falling on his eyes. He wasn't much taller than Neji.
'I certainly don't fight his fights. I'm not that generous.' He turned towards Naruto and scowled at him. Naruto knew what that meant and he didn't say a word anymore.
Taller chuckled:
'He looks like good little puppy you know, obeying your every command.'
Neji turned towards him and raised an eyebrow:
'Is that your problem?'- He inquired. Taller frowned.
'I would not talk like that to me you know.' he said somehow dangerously.
Neji smirked: 'Heh! And why not? Do you have a crown upon your head and now you are afraid that you can lose it?'- mocked Neji.
Ravens eyes sparkled dangerously: 'Tongue in your mouth newbie! Or I can kill you before you say cookie.'
Neji flipped his hair back: "Oh, now you scared me. Watch over your "kid" and leave us alone.'- and he finished argument.
Smaller raven growled lowly in back of his throat and wanted to pounce at Neji, but taller stopped him. When steaming raven looked up at taller, the other just shook his head. He gave last glare at newbie's and growled:
'You haven't seen the last of me, both you and that coward over there.'
As he finished his last sentence, the bus came. The two raven, supposedly brothers, entered first, and then Neji and Naruto. Neji mused" If every new acquaintance is as friendly as they are, we will not have any acquaintances at all."
