A Friend or a Best Friend?
Neji cursed under his breath, sometimes his clan was a bit too much. He was lucky that Tenten was daughter of Sarutobi, head of the village, and that Lee was son of one of the greatest business man alive. But Hinata on the other hand...
She just had to make friends with someone who had a family that worked hard just to stay alive.
So the damn main family just had to make sure that this girl was the real deal. The real best friend. Not one who became her best friend just for the money.
He glanced at the paper in his hand. They gave him a list on how the pinkette should act, if she was truly a best friend... and well...
It looked like Sakura would have to be forced to stay away from Hinata. Because who in the right mind would do this to a friend? A best friend? Psh, yeah right. Neji read over the list again and rolled his eyes. The main family really didn't want Hinata to make even a single friend that was a commoner.
The white eyed boy turned a corner and was met with the two people he was just thinking about walking ahead of him. His eyes saw that there was a crack on the part of the sidewalk where Hinata was walking on, and she could end up tripping. He was about to go after her, but then remembered what was on the sheet of paper.
A friend would help you up when you fall. A best friend would continue walking while saying, "Walk much dumbass?"
And sure enough, the Hyuuga heir ended up tripping on the crack.
But what made her cousin shocked was that the Haruno didn't go back to help her up, instead she just kept on walking and then faced Hinata, "You coming or not?"
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
It was raining quite hard and Hinata was walking to the Hyuuga compound, Neji away at a safe distance, was also heading back home. But then he saw it.
Sakura ran by and grabbed Hinata's umbrella, then stuck her tongue out at her, and ran towards the Hyuuga estate yelling, "Come on Hina-chan! Run!"
Hinata cursed under her breath, something Neji never expected her to do, and then ran towards her, "Sakura-chan! Give that back!"
A friend gives you their umbrella in the rain. A best friend takes yours, runs away, then screams, "Run! -beep- Run!"
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Neji just walked out of his room and headed to the kitchen and saw that the pink haired girl just closed their family's refridgerator, and was holding up a bottle of coke and a pack of chips, she greeted him, "Hey there Neji-niisan!" Then she headed out and went towards the direction of Hinata's room.
A friend never asks for anything to eat or drink. A best friend would help herself to the fridge.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Hinata looked through her closet and sighed, "Where is it?" There was knock on her door. "Come in."
Neji entered, "Hiashi-sama is calling us for dinner now... What are you doing?"
The room was a mess, clothes and accessories were everywhere, open drawers, piles of items scattered about, it was like a pigsty.
She stood up, "I was just looking for my silver heels that would match great with-oh! How could I forget?"
"Excuse me?"
"I let it to Sakura-chan a few months ago..." she sighed, "Then I guess I should use her black stilettos instead, they would also do."
"You also have her belongings?"
She went to her closet then got the pair of shoes out, "Hai, I think I've had this for a few months also. Wonder if I still have her denim skirt that she lent me weeks ago..."
A friend borrows your things and then returns them after using it. A best friend has a closet full of your things.
Neji couldn't help but wonder, No wonder the maids found new articles of clothing when they did the laundry...
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Our favorite Hyuuga male was in the football field when he noticed that the pink haired girl was talking to Inuzuka Kiba. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, To think she was another fan girl...
But when he walked towards them, he couldn't help but hear what she just said.
"It's because you're gay isn't it?"
Then he saw that behind the bleachers, a few girls were around his cousin wiping her tears away.
A friend wipes your tears when you're rejected. A best friend goes up to him and says, "It's because you're gay isn't it?"
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Hinata frowned, "I don't understand why they called for Sakura-chan. I mean, its not like she's my boyfriend or anything. They're more overprotective of me from her, then from Naruto-kun!"
Neji sighed, "Its because Naruto is son of the head of the Uzumaki Corps. While your friend is just a commoner."
She gulped, "Oh... well I just hope she's on her best behaviour. She tends to be... a bit crazy time to time. She calls you niisan, I wonder what she'll call Otoosan and Okaasan."
He shrugged, "Unlike me, she has to respect them."
"... Yeah-"
But then the entrance door burst open, and in came the devil herself, she smiled brightly at them, "So, miss me in the few hours I was gone?" she asked. Hinata just rolled her eyes. But Neji's eyes widened when he saw her apparel. It was skinny jeans, old black converse, a black shirt, a green jacket, and a dark green cap over her short pink hair.
Didn't she know she would be dining with the Hyuuga clan? The most formal of all clans? Even Hinata was in a simple white blouse and light blue skirt.
And it looks like she noticed, "Um... did I dress a bit too casual?" Sakura asked.
Hinata just smiled, "Yes, but compared to what you wear in other occasions, this would do quite well. Come, they are in the dining room. And feel lucky, Saku-chan."
"Huh? Why?"
"Only Neji-niisan, Hanabi-chan, and my parents are here. Since the rest of the clan are someplace else, just for today. So please, try to act... lady like"
...
Sakura blinked.
...
"Act what?"
Hinata sighed, "Nothing, I don't think that'll ever happen." Then they headed to the dining room. Hinata brang her to her parents, Sakura already met Hanabi, "Otoosan, Okaasan, this is Haruno Sakura, my best friend."
Her mother smiled brightly at her, "Oh, it is a pleasure to finally meet you!"
Hiashi just nodded.
Sakura grinned, "Nice to meet you two too, Okaasan, Otoosan!"
A friend calls your parents with the suffix -san. A best friend would call them 'Otoosan' and 'Okaasan'.

The brunette walked towards the jail, apparently he found out that his 'innocent cousin' and 'best friend' were in jail for vandalism. It would only be for a few hours and a small fee. But he had to get them out of there before their family found out what happened.
When he paid the bail and entered their room, he was able to hear something before he opened the door. And that something was also written on the paper.
"We sure did it this time, Hina-chan."
"You mean you did it."
"But you have to admit it was fun! We should do it again sometime!"
A friend would bail you out of jail. A best friend would be in jail next to you saying, "That was awesome!" or "Dang, did we screw up."
He blinked, What the hell?
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"That teme," Naruto muttered after closing his cell phone.
Neji raised an eyebrow, "What happened to the Uchiha?"
"Hinata-chan said he broke up with Sakura-chan. Come on, they're on the roof," Naruto told him, then they headed towards that area. When they arrived, they noticed that Sakura was surrounded by three unknown unimportant girls comforting her saying things like:
"Well, you deserve better."
"He wasn't worth your time."
"He doesn't know what he missed."
But he could tell that Sakura wasn't listening to them, but was glancing at his cousin. He faced Hinata and noticed she had her cell phone out and was talking to someone. When he headed towards her, he heard it. It was her, but in a completely different voice.
"You will die in seven days."
A friend will always be like, "Well you deserve better," after a breakup. A best friend will be prank calling the guy saying, "You will die in seven days."
Sometimes, Neji mused, Its also supposed to be Hinata-sama acting like the best friend.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Neji faced the main family, "It seems that Sakura has fitted everything in the description in which you have told me."
Hiashi scowled, "Impossible. Even a sane person wouldn't do those things!"
Then Neji left the room, but not without a smile on his face.
Sometimes, it would be impossible to be friends with an insane person...
Because best friends are almost impossible to come by.
