The mood was intense. The wind blew dramatically through long dark hair. Each person knew exactly what move they should make to win, but it wasn't quite that simple. Maybe if the other person didn't follow through with what the other was thinking, there was a possibility of one of the parties winning. But unless the other party decided to be completely ignorant, this was going to end soon.

Much to Neji's dismay, his cousin was thinking the exact same thing. Pale hands put the pencil down on paper, and marked an x, crossing out three in a row. "I win, Neji-nii-san!" Hinata clapped a bit and shot her hands up in the air happily! She looked at her pouting cousin and offered him a smile. "You'll p-probably win n-next time." He looked up at her and exhaled disappointedly. "I couldn't win anyways, Hinata-sama." Hinata heard him mumble something about 'It was fated to happen,' as he pushed in his chair.

The doorbell rang, causing the cousins to look up. Hinata squealed, "I'll g-get it!" As she started her run/skip combination towards the front door. Neji sighed, not even bothering to ask who it was. He knew by the way her face lit up that it was Naruto, come to whisk her away to some expensive place that, 'Only the Hokage can afford, Believe it!'. "Probably some fancy restaurant with some kind of aphrodisiac food.' The branch member grumbled under his breath all the way to the hall, decided to stand behind his cousin as she got the door and was greeted by flowers.

"T-thank you, Naruto-kun!" She gave him a tight hug , and he picked her up and swirled her around. She laughed as he kissed on the cheek, setting her down. Neji felt a pang in his heart every time he did that. 'I should get that checked.' The prodigy mused.

"So, Hinata-chan, where would like to go?" Naruto smiled the signature smile at his girlfriend, who blushed and smiled right back. "H-How about you p-pick, Naruto-kun?" Hinata let her hands go from around his neck and held his hands. "Well, I was thinking we could catch a movie, and then get some eatings. How does that sound?" Hinata was about to open her mouth to oblige, when Neji interrupted her. "What a juvenile idea. Do you try to be charming, or does it come naturally?" "Neji-nii-san!" A flustered Hinata shot him a surprised look. "Well, at least I can actually get a girlfriend, asshole." "Naruto-kun!"

Before Hinata could say anything more, the two launched into battle. "I can get a girlfriend, I just don't want a girlfriend." "You can't get a girlfriend even if you weren't gay." "That's most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Besides, I'm not the one that had the thing for Sasuke a few years ago." "Well at least I'm not a fucking branch member." That's when all talking stopped and Naruto grinned that stupid grin, thinking he won. "Believe it." Hinata turned to her boyfriend. "Naruto-kun, how c-could you say such a thing!" She looked back over at her cousin sympathetically. "Neji-nii-san, I-I'm sure he didn't mean it, I-" "That's alright Hinata. It's not his fault he's an idiot." Naruto glared at the older Hyuuga. "Hey, fuck you, bastard."

Naruto reached for a Kunai, but thankfully, Hinata stepped in. "Naruto-kun, l-let's just go. I-I'm sorry t-that Neji-nii-san upset you." She glanced back over at her cousin, who was staring at her in disbelief. 'She's sorry that I upset him?' Neji watched as Naruto threw him a look that plainly said, 'I win.' And with that, he kissed her on the cheek. "You're right, Hinata-chan. He's not worth getting angry over." Before Hinata could say anything, Naruto put his hand around her waist, "Ready to go?" She looked back over at her cousin, who was still standing in shock. She turned to Naruto, and nodded. "Y-yes, let's go." She sent Neji a look before walking out the door, leaving him standing alone, mouth gaping open.

Neji scoffed and went to sit in the kitchen. He sat there, absentmindedly playing with a kunai that he had in his pocket. Thoughts raced through his head as he wondered why Hinata would even date such an asshole. It couldn't be because he was Hokage; she's always liked him. "What the hell are you doing?" Neji was ripped back into reality at the voice. He already knew who was talking to him, but he looked up anyways. "I'm sitting at a table, Hanabi-sama." She scoffed and shrugged, pulling open the fridge door and scanning the contents. "No, you were making all these faces. I stood there watching you for at least five minutes." Neji watched as the thirteen year old took out a carton of milk, and sat down across from him.

"So what were you thinking about?" "Nothing important." Hanabi raised an eyebrow. "You're lying." She purred in a sing-song voice. "Were you thinking about Tenten? Because if you were, then you really should be in your room, because Dad wouldn't want to walk in and see you mas-" Neji cut her off. "No, she's not the one I'm thinking about." Neji wondered why teenagers were so direct and impolite these days. Five years ago, nobody was like this. 'I guess times have changed.' "Oh! So there's a one!" Neji was snapped from Neji-world back to reality once again by the voice of his cousin. "No, Hanabi-sama. There's no one. I'm thinking about your older sister." A look of disgust came over the girls features. "Ehmagawd. Neji, that is gross!" "What are you talking- OH! No! Not like that. I'm thinking about why she would date the stupid blonde."

Neji looked up to see Hanabi drinking from the carton. He made a mental note not to ever drink milk from that fridge again. After brushing some loose strands of hair out of her face, Hanabi looked at her older cousin. "You should do that, your father will get angry." "Augh, it's always, 'Your father will this,' or 'Your father will that.'" She rolled her eyes, and walked over to the fridge. "Yeah, Naruto's an ass. But he's a funny ass." "But he's still an ass. How could she like him? It's weird." Hanabi closed the fridge door and put her hands on her hips. "It's weird that you care."

The teenager took a seat on the edge of the table, laying down and flopping her hands on her chest. "Anyways, what does it matter? It's her life, Neji. She can do whatever she wants with it." Hanabi looked at him before jumping off the table and walking over to the doorframe. "But it's just, she's come so far, Hanabi-sama. She's changed, she's braver. Why waste it on him?" Neji looked over to the raven haired girl. "Get over yourself. You're acting like a jealous ex-boyfriend." Hanabi turned and went headed up the stairs. "Go relieve some tension, jack off or something." A cup hit the wall behind her, making her yelp and scurry up the stairs a little faster.

Okay, now for my time to shine. So I was looking around on FF, and I realized there wasn't many stories that dove into the Hyuuga household. So, I decided I'd make one. This could be a one-shot, but I have bigger plans for this little beauty. Yes, this is going to be a love triangle. There will be multiple different pairings, and yes, I admit some of them are crack pairings, but mainly NejiHinaNaru. Please review with comments, do you hate it? Do you love it? Is it missing something? R&R! Thank you!
