Hey guys!! This is my first Naruto fanfiction so be nice please!! Pairings will not be revealed because that will be no fun :)

Chapter 1: The confrontation

"Did you guys know that rookies will be entering this Chunin exam?" Green spandex adored the thin body.

"Either way…" the girl with the Chinese buns declared while she threw a kunai toward her teammate, which hit the hay dummy above his head.

"That's one pitiful story." A boy with long silky hair asserted from his cross legged position. "It's getting late. We should head back." He stood up and headed toward the clearing of the forest, followed by his unique teammates.

"So we're training here tomorrow right, Neji?" The girl glanced up to the boy that was brushing up his long hair back.

As he nodded in response, the bowl head boy was overjoyed, "The pride of youth will be acknowledged by the world at the chunin exam! I will do 300 kicks if not 1000 sit ups! Good-Bye my blooming teammates!"

While Neji and Tenten were trying to translate Lee's hieroglyphics, the green beast of Konoha was already out of sight.

"I guess I'll head home." Tenten said and disappeared into the busy city. The Hyuga genius felt restless. He didn't feel like going straight back to the Hyuga compound which is his cage. But he didn't have much to do after 10 hours of training. He reluctantly headed toward home with his Byakugan activated. Increasing his endurance and conquering his weak point with byrakugan was his major goal since he will be relying on it heavily in the exam that is to come.

Flashback….

"Seven, eight," he paused to count the birds that were soaring now in the sky.

"…nine birds?" he mumbled questioningly as another bird appeared behind the flock.

End of flashback

He skidded to a halt as the Hyuga compound came into view. However, this was not what he stopped for. A musky feeling protruding from an open field signified strong chakra His byakugan showed enormous sphere of chakra flowing. However, when he deactivated it, he saw nothing, nothing more than a mere grass field. Doubting his human eyes, he activated his bloodline once more. Sure enough, there was a large amount of chakra formed in a sphere, it seemed as though it served as a barrier. Risking the fact that it may be a trap, Neji raised his hand and touched the barrier. His fingertips disappeared and due to his curiosity, he stepped in. His fingertips were safe so why not? As his handsome head made it through the energy barrier, he carefully took in the scene before him. There was a girl who looked to be about the same age as him, her pony tailed hair flowing about her waist. She seemed to be practicing her aim as she spun in the air, her head toward the ground and her right arm raised with shrikens in her hand. She threw them as she spun, so that each shriken hit the bull's eye of the 5 wooden poles that surrounded her on the ground. As her face turned his way, he noticed veins were pulsating on the sides of her face.

Byakugan? Impossible! But there was no mistake since it can be any other bloodline. Sharingan maybe another power of the eyes but the appearance of it was far different from byakugan. The power that gave the iris crimson red color and transforming the owner's pupils into spinning commas was the complete opposite of byakugan which gave the owner milky white eyes with veins pulsating regularly at the sides of his face. She flipped quickly to land on her feet. She raised her head quickly to bore her eyes into the intruder. Her gaze, which was expressionless and anything but friendly, asked only one question, what are you doing here?

With his dominating nature, he took control of the confrontation.

"Name yourself," Neji demanded. A moment of silence took place as she continued to study the intruder. He also noted that her forehead was clear of any seals and head protectors, signifying that she is from the main house. When Neji was about to repeat the question, thinking she didn't hear it, a firm feminine tone sounded, "I'm not obligated to answer."

Now, this was not the answer he wanted to hear of the moment since one of rookie nine gave him the same answer. The one considered to be the top rookie this year.

Uchiha sasuke was it? How arrogant people were getting! With a grunt of anger, he rushed toward the girl, hoping to pin her on the ground so he can interrogate her.

He detested the main house anyway; couple of gashes on her might satisfy him.

But as he approached her, she deactivated her byakugan and shouted "Sharingan!"

He froze of shock, sharingan and byakugan? But once he snapped out of this thought, the girl was holding her head painfully, crumpling toward the ground. Not knowing what to do, the genius rooted to the ground. The girl whimpered continuously with hands on her head and lost consciousness. The white eyed male slowly paced toward the girl, expecting to get up and attack him any minute. He reached her body and checked her pulse to see if she was alive.

She had a pulse but no breathing. He turned around with the decision to leave her here. After all, it was not his fault for leading her to use her bloodline right? (yes it is neji!) With hands in his pocket, he strolled out of the barrier. However, curiosity got the better of him. Byakugan means she lives in the Hyuga compound. But he's never seen her before in the Hyugas or the Uchihas before they were exterminated, leaving only one survivor, Uchiha Sasuke. He despised the main branch but he clearly noted that only Hinata and Hanabi were children of the branch.

Did she just happen to escape from the seal? Possible but unlikely, the council would have searched the ends if the world to give any escaped Hyuga member the seal and activate it immediately as a punishment. Reluctantly, he hoisted her up and placed his right arm on the back of her knees.

"I'm home mother," he greeted as he struggled out of his sandals.

"Welcome back sweety." His mother appeared a moment later with an apron. The woman seemed to have more wrinkles for her age. She was only in her 30s but due to the death of her husband and the struggle to keep her son from becoming a heartless mechanism, she was exhausted.

"Who is this?" she questioned as she hurriedly relieved her son of the girl and he successfully took off his sandals. The middle aged woman gave a small gasp after she gently placed the girl on her futon.

Neji traced his mother's gaze toward the girl's amethyst pendant around the girl's neck. Not giving his mother anytime to stare any longer, he calmly questioned her, "Who is she?"

His mother swallowed hard and after a moment she opened her mouth, "Do you remember what your father said to you before he died?"

Flashback

"You must live Neji." Dried, brown hands reached out to pat his son's silky head. "You are the boy that has been most blessed by the Hyuuga's talents."

Hyuga Hizashi faced his son with a sad smile, then he quietly added, "Also, there is another that Hyuuga's talents favored."

End of flashback

"Vaguely," the coffee haired boy answered, "But do you mean to tell me she is the one he meant when he said those last words?"

His mother nodded instantaneously and pointed to the unconscious girl's forehead, "As you can tell, she is from the main house."

She received a sharp snarl in return but she ignored it, "Can you guess her relationship to you?"

The thought of main branch and his father did not mix. Neji's blood pressure was rising and he fought hard the fist that wished to connect with the girl's body.

"The only answer is that she is my cousin but how is that possible?" he questioned as he gave a disgusted glance at the frail, sun repelled body.

"She looks Hinata Sama's age. I don't remember any birthday celebration for her. Or more generally, I've never seen her in my life."

His mother put up her hand to silence her gushing son. "This girl, Hyuuga Haruka sama, is Hiashi sama's eldest daughter."

Soooo How is it so far? Interesting? Boring? Let me know by reviewing! Constructive criticism is welcome! But please hold back on the flames…
