I have two older brothers. Don't get my wrong I love my family and they are great...but if I could change one thing, it would be for my dad to sop hitting me. He hates me and hits me almost every day. If I haven't done anything wrong he'll find some excuse to hit me. My mom died when I was seven, when my older brother Kenji was nine, and my oldest brother Takumi was eleven. After mom's death my father and Takumi were never the same. My brother Takumi used to be happy, hyper, and outgoing but ever since my mom's death Takumi became quiet and mysterious like he was hiding something. As for my father he used to be caring and would only lose his temper a little before mom died but now he loses his temper often and is often hitting and yelling at me. I wish my mom never died because then maybe my life would have been different. If my mom hadn't of died maybe Takumi would have been more outgoing like my other older brother Kenji. If my mom hadn't of died I probably would have a father that cared for me. But my mom is dead and I know there's nothing I can do about it but keep on living life. Because of my father abusing me I don't really trust anyone. I'm afraid I will get hurt more than I already do if I do open up to someone. That's why today I am telling my best friend Hinata who like today. I don't know what she'll say but hopefully everything works out.

Hinata and I were in her room and she asked me who liked. I liked Hinata she was my bestfriend who understood me and that I could tell anything to. She knew my father hit me. Her father used to be like mine except he didn't hit her he just would sometimes yell at and say not to get in the way. But now she's lucky ever since the chunin exams when she was twelve she has been training more and gotten strong. I wish I was like her I'm just not as much as a fighter. "So Courtney w-who d-do you like" asked Hinata. "Promise you won't say a-anything?" I asked her. I knew Hinata wouldn't I just need to make sure I could really trust her. "I w-won't I promise." Hinata said smiling at me. I then smiled back and said "I-I l-like your cousin N-Neji." I said. "Really? For how long?" she asked without stuttering. "Ever since we were in t-that a-academy I t-thought he was c-cute." I said to her. "Tell me about it" Hinata said.

Flashback

Today at the academy everyone was being put on teams after being tested. I really hoped I was on Neji's team. I have had a crush on him ever since we were seven and we started at the ninja academy. I liked Neji but knew he would never like me because I heard he didn't like the main branch. I then heard my name be called "Team Guy Courtney Hiyuuga, Neji Hyuuga, TenTen, and Rock Lee." I heard Iruka sensei say. After he was done teams we met at a place with a bench close to the academy. There we waited for ou sensei and when he appeared we say a guy who looked exactly like Lee. Lee was the only one who wasn't freaked out. "Hello I am Might Guy your sensei." He said flashing a smile and doing a weird pose. He then said "Why don't you all introduce you selves and tell me abit about yourselves like your dislikes, likes, and dreams. The other girl on my team went first and said "my names TenTen I like training and specialize in weapons and want to be a ninja who specializes in weapons. Next was the weird guy. "I am Rock Lee and I want to prove I can be a ninja even if I can only use Tai justsu. After he said that Neji chuckled and said "You honestly think you can be a ninja and not know any nin jutsu or genjutsu." "I'll prove it!" yelled Lee. "You are?" guy asked Neji. Neji then said "Neji Hyuuga"and nothing else. He then turned to me and said "Tell us about yourself" "M-my name is Courtney Hiyuuga. I like to read, write, talking to animals, looking at the stars, and hanging o-out w-with my b-best friend Hinata. I dislike people dying, people being hurt, seeing too much blood and my f-father y-yelling at me. My dream is to m-make m-my f-father p-proud of me a-and be a medical nin. "Well you all have something that makes you unique meet in the forest tomorrow at seven." He then disappeared. Once he disappeared I was about to leave but Lee got in front of me and held my hands and asked "Will you be my girlfriend I swear to protect you with my life!" I then backed away scared and ran away back to my compound.

Lee's POV

I asked Courtney if she wanted to be my girlfriend but she just ran away and it seemed she was scared of me. Once she ran away TenTen said "Nice going lee you scared her." "What do you expect her just came on to her." said Neji. It couldn't have just been me she was scared of she had to be scared of something else but what? "Guys I think she's hiding something." I said "What would she be hiding?" asked TenTen. "I don't know but I'm going to find out." I said.

End Lee's POV

Back to Courtney's POV

I ran back to my compound when Lee asked me to be his girlfriend. I didn't mean to be rude I just didn't trust guys and my father says he has to approve of who I date anyway. Once I was in my compound I saw my father and my older brothers training together. "Faster Kenji!" my father yelled. My father didn't even notice me come in until I was almost about to go inside the compound. My father then stopped training with my older brothers and said "How was training." "It w-was good I m-met my team and w-we start training t-tomorrow." I said. "Good just try not to get in the way." my father said. "Yes father." I said. "You may go." my father said. After he said that I went into my room of our compound and went to sleep dreaming about Neji

End Flashback

Back to present (Courtney is 18)

"That's cute. Although I wish Neji would have talked t-to you more." said Hinata. "Y-yeah me too." I said. Hinata then looked at the clock and said "It's ten." "I-I have to go. Bye hinata." I said. "Bye" she said. I then left her room and was running to leave and get home but as I was running I ran into someone and fell. I looked up and saw Neji. I then blushed and bowed. "I'm s-sorry Neji." I said. "It's ok. Let me help you up." Neji said. Neji then took my hand and helped me up. "Thank you Neji." I said smiling a small smile. "No problem" He said. "I g-gotta go." I then ran off and headed to my compound which was near the Hyuuga compound. Once I headed inside my compound I headed to the kitchen to make some tea. I then grabbed the tea I made and headed to the training room in our compound and saw my father training with my brother Takumi. I then headed into the room and poured some tea. My father and Takumi then came over and sat by Kenji. "Where were you?" my father said. I then got down on the floor and said "Sorry f-father I-I was at Hinata's." My father then got up and grabbed me by the hair and slapped me and said. "Do not be late again!" yelled my father. "Y-yes father" I said in pain. My father then threw me to the floor and said "take the tea and leave so I can train your brothers." "Yes f-father" I then took the tea and left. I then put them into the sink and asked one of the branch members to wash them. I then went to my room and fell asleep wondering what would happen tomorrow.
