Chapter 1
"You need to be stronger Hinata! You're too weak! Do 50 laps around the training grounds, now!" Neji said in a demanding tone.
"B..ut I've go..tten stronger since you've been tra..ining me, Neji-kun," Hinata stuttered, already panting hard from the training she had just finished.
"Though you might be getting a little stronger, you are still a weakling! I could kill you easily if it was a real match, which means ANYONE could kill you!" Neji explained in an annoying tone.
"T..hat's not true Neji-nii. I know I'm ge..tting stronger, and not e..veryone could kill me. Why do you have to be like this?" Hinata mumbled.
"Why? Why do you think I am? I am because you're the Hyuga Heiress and your father expects you to be better than this," Neji explained bluntly.
Not far from the two cousins, Sasuke was training. "What's that annoying noise?" Sasuke grumbled; angry because he got interrupted from his training by the arguing and also annoyed by what Hinata's cousin was saying about her.
"I mi..ght be the H..eiress but it's not like my fa..ther ever treated me like his da..ughter! He dislikes me! That's why he l..oves Hinabi more!" Hinata shouted, saddened just by talking about her father.
"You know that's not true! That's why your destiny is to train with me so you can be much better!" the brown haired cousin yelled back.
"Yo..u're only s..aying this so you don't have to s..ee me cry. He will always belittle me." Hinata screeched, tears starting to appear in her eyes.
"Hinata..." Neji began.
"So, what's going on here?" Sasuke asked, cutting Neji off.
"This has nothing to do with you. It's a family issue," Neji said, irritated that Sasuke was not minding his own business.
"Hyuga, you shouldn't be a part of this. I mean, you are just a side branch member, after all. I mean, if her father really wanted her stronger, wouldn't he be training her and not you?" Sasuke remarked.
"So what if I'm a branch member. She's the heiress and if her father tells me to train her, then I must obey!" Neji argued.
"E..nough both of you! Sasuke-sama I know yo..u're trying to help and th..ank you, but it's my fault for being like this," Hinata shouted.
"hmp" Sasuke grunted, but secretly he felt kinda bad for the girl.
"Fine, whatever. Hinata go home now. I will follow." Neji said, irritated that the argument was a tie.
"R..ight, but re..ally, thank you Sasuke-sama. I'm re..ally ha..ppy you stood up for me. You know in y..our own way you are n..ot too bad of a g..uy after all." Hinata smiled with a little blush on her cheeks and jumped off in the direction of the Hyuga mansion with Neji on her tail. 'He's so different from before. If I had to say it, I might like him better now if I get to know him,' Hinata thought, just arriving into the main branch.
"Hmph. Me a bad guy? Yeah right," Sasuke mumbled and walked off with a smirk.
