I don't own Naruto if I did we would know what Kakashi's face looks like!


Destiny sat, knees pulled up, arms around them with her back against a tree. Destiny had lost her mother just a week before.

"Who do we have here?" A boy asked. Destiny looked up and saw three boys from the main branch standing in front of her.

"I do believe this is Destiny," Another boy said. He was slightly taller than her, had Hyuuga eyes, and black hair that was down his back and held with a band. He seemed to be the leader of the little group of boys. "Am I correct?" he asked.

"Hai Shio-sama," Destiny said looking up only long enough to speak.

"What's wrong?" Shio asked.

"Rather not say," Destiny answered.

Shio knelt down in front of her cupping her chin is his hand as he lifted it. "Well, why don't you tell me anyway." He said.

"I said I don't want to talk about it," Destiny repeated.

Shio looked a bit upset now "And I said I want to know!"

Destiny looked Shio in the eye and said "Go find someone else to ask!"

Shio struck Destiny across the cheek "How dare you deny me!"

Now Destiny was ticked, but unlike Shio didn't show it. "I'm sorry Shio-sama but I should be going," She said getting to her feet.

She hadn't taken two steps when the other two boys grabbed her arms. "Now where you off to sweetheart?" one asked

"Let me go," Destiny growled

"No can do Destiny," Shio stated "Not till you tell me what I want to know"

Destiny laughed bitterly "Why? So you can make things worse?" She stared him in the face again. "I already told you Shio-sama, my answer is NO!" with that she tripped the boy on her left, then twisted throwing the one on the right.

"Why you!" Shio said "This'll teach you to disobey!" He placed his hand in a certain position.

The curse-mark! Destiny thought. She closed her eyes and braced herself. To Destiny's surprise instead of hearing Shio's voice she heard something similar to when you grab someone by the wrist with a good amount of force. She opened her eyes to see a new boy holding Shio's wrist in a tight grip.

"She said she didn't want to talk about it, she's not you're property so BACK OFF!" The new boy said angrily. The boy had dark brown hair that went down his back and was wearing a kaki shirt and blue shorts (all she can see is his back). The two boys just glared at each other. After a minute or so Shio freed his wrist and walked off talking under his breath, his friends right behind him.

The new boy turned to Destiny and asked "Are you alright?" Destiny nodded. Now that he was facing her she saw he had Hyuuga eyes, an emotionless face and the same bandaging on his forehead as her.

He's a branch member?! Destiny thought. The boy took a step closer to her, he carefully rubbed his hand across the place on her cheek where Shio had slapped her. Destiny felt her cheek heat up slightly at his touch. "Thank you" Destiny said shyly.

The boy just looked at her, "What's your name girl?" he asked.

"Destiny, and yours?" she replied.

"Neji" The boy answered as he walked away, Destiny watched him go.

"Neji" She repeated almost to herself. Maybe we'll meet again, I'd like to know more about him. she thought. I've never seen Shio give in before, and especially not to a branch member!


Authors notes:

Shio is a main branch member who enjoys bullying Destiny. As for his friends….Well I just needed other ppl with him they don't havenames or anything. Please R&R Constructive criticism welcome!
