"Yer Mom"
SURPRISE! Naruto still doesn't belong to me.
"Nee, Neji-niisan, I've got to go meet Shino-kun and Kiba-kun for lunch now. I'll see you later, okay?"
Neji nodded, watching his cousin run off. He had been helping her train with jyuuken to get her hits more precise. Shrugging, the boy went off to do something else.
A few hours later, Hinata hadn't returned home. After asking his uncle- who was surprised that Neji even cared- about where his cousin was, he learned that the girl had decided to stay the night with Haruno Sakura. Neji retreated to his room and stretched like a cat on his bed, soon falling asleep.
In the morning, the Hyuuga male found Hinata talking to Hanabi in the living room. When he entered the room, though, the youngest looked at him with disgust before quickly exiting. "Hinata-sama..."
She smiled at him, "What is it, Neji-niisan?"
"You said you would 'see me later.' Yet you didn't come home."
Hinata blinked a couple of times, thinking. "Oh yes. I did. But, Neji-niisan, that's just a figure of speech." The older Hyuuga still looked confused, so she explained, "When I said 'I'll see you later,' I didn't really mean later. It's like 'good-bye.'"
"Why did you not say that, then?"
"Well... Kiba-kun uses figures of speech all of the time, so I guess it just rubbed off on me. I did it unconciously."
Neji raised an eyebrow, "The Inuzuka is rubbing on you?"
The girl blushed slightly, "No... What I mean is, he says things that I don't normally, and when I'm around him alot, I begin to talk like him." Her cousin nodded, understanding. "Like if I was around Naruto-kun alot, I might start yelling 'Dattebayo!' all of the time."
The male Hyuuga twitched. "Don't do that." He said, causing Hinata to giggle.

A few days later, Neji ran into Kiba in the village. "Inuzuka."
"...Neji?" The Inuzuka was confused. The older boy never talked to him unless they were assigned together on a mission or it was required, "Uh... hi."
"Tell me about these 'figures of speech' my cousin keeps mentioning."
Kiba blinked. Was the Hyuuga joking? One look at the other's emotionless face and he concluded that no, Neji really was serious. "Um... Well... "There's 'see y-'"
"Hinata-sama explained that one."
"'Let's blow this popsicle stand?'" Neji didn't say anything, so Kiba continued, "It's like... 'Let's leave' or something, 'We should get out of here'. Like that, y'know?" Kiba explained a few more things before the Hyuuga was satisfied and they parted ways. A few days later, though, he had more questions.
And so the explaining continued. One day, Neji asked about insults, which Kiba seemed to know most about. The Hyuuga wanted to forget about half of them by the time the other boy was finished.
"I wish I could wash my brain out with soap now, Inuzuka."
"Maybe wash out a few other things, eh?"
"Your mother."
"...It's 'your mom.'"
"Leave my parents out of this."
A/N: I thought Neji needed help with some slang.
