It was time. Time to leave the teenage life and enter adulthood. The twins's waiting was finally over. Truth be told, it was way different living with Kiba and Ten-Ten than Akito, Tobi, and Izuna. Incora and Neji tried their hardest to make it work, but Incora's new schedule was all over the place. And the worst part about it was that Neji, Ten-Ten, nor Kiba were in any of her classes.

More than that, she missed all of her friends. Yume and Gaara went off to Kiri. Shikamaru, Temari, Naruto, and Kankuro all went to Suna. Shino still went to Konoha with them, but he was a lot harder to get ahold of. Only Kiba truly talked to him, when he wasn't on his way to Suna to see Kankuro.

No one knew where Lee went, but they assumed it was Konoha. Chouji went to Konoha too, but he visited Shikamaru as much as possible. Hinata went to Konoha too, but she was planning on going to Suna with Naruto soon.

Being a Music Major, she had to put a lot of work in all on her own. She was trying to pick up an instrument as of now, and it was working for her. Today was Monday, and Incora just got out of her second class.

She went and sat down in a cafeteria, waiting for Ten-Ten to get out of her class so they could go home together. All of a sudden, she became face to face with a familiar person. He kissed her on the cheek. She wiped it off in disgust.

"Sasuke! You're so gross! What are you doing here?" asked Incora.

"Just thought I'd come and say 'hi'. I do kind of go to school around here, after all." said Sasuke.

"I thought you went to KCC?"

"Okay, so I wanted to come see you. Is that a bad thing?" he asked.

"No, I guess not. I appreciate it too, seeing as Ten-Ten's not going to be here to go home for an hour yet." said Incora.

"So how was your first day?" asked Sasuke.

"It was your typical first day of college. Only one guy was missing in my Music Theory Class...but the professor said he'd be out for a while. I wonder why he signed up for classes in the first place."

"What was his name?"

"I...think the teacher called him...Hi...dan?"

"Hidan? I didn't know he was a Music Major." said Sasuke.

"Someone you know?" asked Incora.

"He's one of my brother's best friends. He, Kisame, Pein, and Kakuzu hang out with my brother all the time at Obito's."

"Do you know why he isn't here?"

"I...don't think I should tell you that. You don't really know him, you know?"

"Oh...okay...gosh, I hope Ten-Ten comes soon. I'm hungry and ready to go home." said Incora.

"So, you actually went through with living with her and dog-boy? And you live with your brother? Talk about your permanent cock-block." said Sasuke.

"I...It's not that bad..." said Incora with a blush.

"So, you still get laid? Impressive."

"...So how are you and Karin?" asked Incora, changing the subject.

"She can be so annoying at times, but she's more loyal than the other girl I've been with." said Sasuke.

"Seeing as you've been with Sakura and Ino, I'd say you're right." said Incora.

"Ah-Ah. Never once have I been with Sakura. I wouldn't give that stalker the satisfaction. In all honesty, Ino was way smoother and calmer than her. Which is why I got with her. I knew she'd be a sure thing." said Sasuke arrogantly.

"Is everything about sex with you?" asked Incora.

"Well...it...used to be...before I became a father."

"You don't even raise Izuna."

"That doesn't mean he hasn't affected my life any. After I found out I was a father...I...it was like my entire life was different. After that, I wanted to mature more. I started thinking about an actual relationship...you know...with sex happening eventually." said Sasuke.

"Wow...sounds like a real big change. But an actual relationship?"

"At first, to be honest, I thought about Yume. But I knew Gaara and Naruto would beat my ass again, plus she'd personally ruin me. Then I...thought about you. But apparently I nauseate you. Plus you and the dog-boy are like yin and yang."

"You're right. Yume would have ruined you. And honestly, if you would have shown me the sweet side you obviously have now, I wouldn't find you so nauseating." said Incora.

"And there's my sweet Incora. I'm flattered that I could have had a chance with you. Anyway, for a while, I even kind of got in a relationship with Ino. We already had sex once, and so it made sense. That summer...she was the only one there for me...after Itachi deserted me, it was nice to know that I had someone. She...kind of hid me away from my problems. Some nights, when I was sure that Madara was going to come home drunk, she would run away with me, and we would stay the night together somewhere in Konoha." said Sasuke.

"Really? That sounds...romantic. What ever happened? You two could have been...parents to Izuna if you really wanted."

"She never told me about him. That whole summer, and I didn't have a clue. I even was on my way to making our relationship official. And maybe one day, I could have loved her. But once you told me about Izuna, that chance blew away before I knew it. She was never going to tell me about him. She was content with me living in confusion. I didn't want to be with a girl who would lie to me about my own child." said Sasuke.

"Wow...now I kind of feel bad that we didn't give him to you. We didn't know if you knew...and honestly, from what we heard from Tobi, We just wanted him to be safe."

"Safe? What do you mean?"

"...I'm guessing Ino never told you how Tobi found him either."

"She told me that she had met Tobi at the falls. He was running away from something...or something like that. And that when she saw him, she gave my son to him thinking that you guys would never let Tobi keep him."

"Sasuke...Tobi ran from the clan because Neji and I were having an argument over the finals. Then our cousin Akito got into it, and everything went downhill from there. Tobi told us that he ran to the falls and witnessed Ino almost kill Izuna. She was about to drop him over the falls when Tobi intervened."

"...what? Ino isn't that heartless Incora...I should know."

"Tobi wouldn't have told us that if it wasn't true. You should know that more than you claim to know Ino."

"...It doesn't matter. All that matters is that Izuna is safe. And even after I found out about Izuna, I didn't do anything about it because I knew how much he meant to Tobi. I still love him after all. He used to risk his life for Itachi and I every day. My only regret was having to act like I didn't care about him." said Sasuke.

"Madara made you?" asked Incora.

"...he wanted Tobi to toughen up, but he didn't want him to hold a soft spot for us. Despite that, he still did what he did...every night."

"Tobi..."

It felt like Incora had been talking to Sasuke for hours, when it actually had only been one. Sasuke saw Ten-Ten walking up, and he hugged Incora briefly.

"Let's do this again sometime doll-face." said Sasuke.

He walked off, and Ten-Ten came up with a smile on her face. She and Incora left the cafeteria to walk down the street to their apartment.

"Hey Incora! What's Sasuke doing here? I thought he went to Konoha Community College." said Ten-Ten.

"He does. Apparently he wanted to come see me." said Incora.

"That's because you're special. And obviously he wants to get into your pants."

"Gross. Absolutely gross. Anyway, he's actually maturing a lot more now. He says Izuna influenced him to mature more."

"Really? Is that the reason why he's with Karin?"

"I guess so. And also apparently Sakura is so bad that even Sasuke wouldn't touch her."

"You mean...they never?"

"Not once. He said he'd do Ino before her. Thus the reason why Izuna came to be. He was even really close to dating her until he found out about Izuna." said Incora.

Ten-Ten shrugged and unlocked the door to their apartment to have Akamaru clawing at their ankles. Incora lifted the dog up to find that he had been getting heavier.

"Jeez Akamaru! You're getting really heavy. I hope Kiba isn't still trying to feed you human food." said Incora.

Akamaru barked happily in response. She put him down, and he ran into her and Kiba's room. The two girls sat down on the couch.

"So how did you sleep last night?" asked Ten-Ten.

"I'll admit, sleeping with Kiba is an experience. He snores a lot. But I'm used to it because of summer. But I do miss Tobi sneaking in to my room at night, or hearing baby Izuna crying. Hell, I even miss being pranked by Akito." said Incora.

"Is it that bad living here with us?"

"No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that I miss my family. How did you sleep?"

"It was nice, but Neji is so clingy in bed. It's like you start off sleeping side by side, and then all of a sudden, he's wrapped around you in the morning! I usually don't mind, but it was so hot last night, and he doesn't make things better with all of that hair!" said Ten-Ten.

"Yeah, Neji's been doing that since we were kids. I'm just glad it's you and not me he comes to. No offense. It just means that you two are really close."

"And I'm glad and all, but that guy is most definitely going to invest in a fan or something." said Ten-Ten.

"Maybe air conditioning?" asked Incora.

Ten-Ten was about to agree when there was a knock on the door. They automatically knew it wasn't Kiba or Neji because they both had keys. Ten-Ten opened the door to see Deidara who gave Ten-Ten a hug.

"Thank god you're here un. I didn't know who else to turn to hmm. Is Incora home too yeah?" asked Deidara.

"Oh Deidara, what's wrong?" asked Ten-Ten.

"Is that Deidara? How did you know we lived here?" asked Incora.

"I asked Akito yeah?"

Ten-Ten led Deidara to the couch, where he hugged Incora and sat down.

"What's wrong?" asked Incora.

"I...I needed someone to talk to yeah? Yume and Gaara headed off to Kiri last week, and I can honestly say I miss her un. She and Gaara are gonna come get me for school in like a couple months hmm...but I don't know if I'm ready yeah?" said Deidara.

"Dei...why didn't you talk to Yume about this? You know she would have wanted to know. She worries about you...all the time. She talked about you all the time." said Incora.

"She did yeah?"

"You know she did Deidara. She's your sister. She was upset that you were never home, and that you never talked to her anymore. You basically treated her like you didn't even know her." said Ten-Ten.

"I did...hmm...I didn't mean to yeah? I...I'm in love with Itachi un. I thought since she is my sister, that she would be happy for me yeah? I know what I'm doing is wrong though. She's been there for me hmm...she gave me a family yeah? And this is how I treat her...I'm...I'm a bastard un." said Deidara.

"No Dei you're not a bastard. You just need a push back into Yume's good graces, that's all. She misses you Dei. More than you know. Way more. She...She loves you Dei." said Incora.

"And I love her yeah? She's my sister, but before that, she was my very best friend." said Deidara.

"Then don't ignore her so much. She does love you Deidara. You should have reached out to her more in high-school." said Ten-Ten.

"You're right yeah? But now she's gone un...and I feel horrible hmm."

"It's okay Dei...I'm sure Yume doesn't care that you've been acting this way...as long you don't do it anymore." said Incora.

Deidara nodded and hugged both Ten-Ten and Incora to him.

"I love you guys too yeah? You guys always know what to say hmm." said Deidara.

All of a sudden, Kiba came in, exhausted from not only being at school, but working a part time job as well. He plopped onto the couch, into Incora's lap.

"God, this work thing is killing me." said Kiba.

"And I guess it doesn't matter that I once again tell you that this apartment has been paid for already." said Incora.

"It may be paid for already, but it doesn't mean I can't have a job. How are we gonna get food? How am I supposed to get books? Unlike you Hyugas, I don't get a big ass allowance to pay for classes and books. Besides, you don't have a problem with Neji's internship."

"Kiba, Neji's a business major who wants to work for our family corporation. In other words, he has no choice but to be an intern. And anyway he's an unpaid intern because of our allowances. It's supposed to give him experience." said Incora.

"You guys argue too much yeah? Cabin fever much hmm?" asked Deidara.

"You haven't seen anything yet Deidara." said Ten-Ten.

"We're not having an argument. This is nothing." said Incora.

"Yeah, this is just basic stuff." said Kiba.

"Well, anyway hmm...Itachi's probably waiting for me un. I should get going yeah?" said Deidara.

"Oh, alright. Bye Deidara!" said Incora.

"See ya Dei." said Kiba.

Ten-Ten led Deidara out the door, while Kiba and Incora snuggled on the couch. Ten-Ten saw the couple, and went into her own room, probably to watch T.V.

"Babe, I know that I don't have to have a job, but my mom always taught me and my sisters independence. And plus, she's only paying tuition, and I already feel bad enough that your family is paying for the apartment. I figure that I could at least pay for the food that we eat." said Kiba.

"I appreciate the fact that you feel that way...I suppose it can't hurt...I mean, we are limited on what we can buy...and we still have books to buy. You're the only one who has a job." said Incora.

Kiba kissed her on the cheek, making her blush.

"I'm glad you agree. We work so much better when we agree." said Kiba with a grin.

Incora was about to say something, when Kiba picked her up bridal style with a playful gleam in his eye. He kissed her briefly before kicking their door open, scaring Akamaru.

"Kiba! I thought you were tired..." said Incora who started blushing when Kiba started kissing down her jawline.

"I'm never too tired for you babe." said Kiba.

Akamaru ran out into Ten-Ten and Neji's room, and the door to Incora's room was shut and locked. Ten-Ten rolled her eyes as she turned her T.V. up.

"Seriously guys? Ugh..." she mumbled.

In all honesty, Ten-Ten was kind of jealous that Incora was able to spend...quality time with Kiba. Recently, Neji hasn't been up to doing much but watching T.V. and sleeping. It was completely boring. It seemed like hours went by, and Kiba and Incora had finally calmed down enough to cook dinner.

Once dinner was cooked, Neji finally came home. He hugged his sister and kissed Ten-Ten quickly on the lips. Everybody sat at the dinner table, eating the spaghetti that Kiba and Incora cooked.

"So, how was your first day as an intern Neji?" asked Incora.

"It was okay. Cousin Tokuma is my boss for now I guess. I'm his intern until I get the experience to work in the corporation." said Neji.

"That's a good thing right?" asked Kiba.

"Cousin Tokuma is bland, and it's not exactly the branch of the corporation I wanted, but it'll do for now."

"What branch did you want?" asked Ten-Ten.

"Neji's dream is to pick up where our dad left off in the company. Our dad was Uncle Hiashi's right hand man, and the Vice President of Hyuga Enterprises." said Incora.

"That's right. That's been my dream since his death. And it's because of that, that I'm here now. All Hyugas work on their career plans and their future from the moment they decide what they want to be. Anyways, enough about us. How was your days at school? Kiba, how was work at the butchery?" said Neji.

"I was about as excited as I could be about working with meat. Honestly, schools more exciting because at least I hang with people there." said Kiba.

"Who do you hang out with at campus?" asked Ten-Ten.

"Eh, just Karuhi and Omoi. Shino on days when he's not busy with class. But you know him. Being a medical major, that guy decided to work himself to the bone. And then any time he has, he spends in Suna with Kankuro! Talk about your let downs!"

"I heard about Karuhi and Omoi...but I've never met them. You should have them come over sometime." said Incora.

"Yeah! Totally babe. After all, they are my closest friends! They should meet my girl." said Kiba.

Incora blushed as Ten-Ten rolled her eyes. She really didn't like Karuhi.

"Anyways...my day was a typical day as an Art major. All my classes have the same teacher, and he's a hard ass. I have a feeling he and I aren't going to get along very well." said Ten-Ten.

"Sounds tough. I know you'll get through it though." said Neji.

"Thanks for believing in me. I think I survive out here just fine." joked Ten-Ten.

"How was your day babe?" asked Kiba.

"Not bad. I even saw Sasuke today. He's a lot nicer than he used to be. He's matured a lot since he found out about Izuna." said Incora.

"I don't see how you can be friends with him after how shitty he treated us back in high-school." said Neji.

"Yeah, I don't see how either. He wasn't exactly nice to you Incora. As a matter of fact, he watered down the sprouting rumors about you and him being together if I remember correctly." said Kiba.

"I know what he did Kiba, but he also saved my life. After Neji got shot, Madara had one more shot. He was gonna shoot me...and Sasuke saved me. He knocked the gun out of his hands before he got choked out. That's when Yume saved him. He may have done something really bad in the beginning, but he could have just let me get shot guys. He actually cared about my life. And maybe...just maybe...that's one of the reasons that I'm his friend."

"Wow Incora...I had no idea..." said Ten-Ten.

"I never told anyone. Thought you might think I was just using that as an excuse."

"Of course not Incora...you owe him your life. That's not an excuse." said Neji.

"I had no idea baby. To think I thought of Sasuke as another idiot." said Kiba.

Everyone cleared the table, and sat in the living room while Incora did the dishes. She was glad that her roommates accepted Sasuke. She didn't know why. She just did. After the dishes were done and Kiba came to put them away, she went to check on Ten-Ten. She sensed that something was wrong with her.

She went into Neji's room, seeing her face. She was completely bored sitting there on the bed. Incora sat on the bed with her. Ten-Ten gave Incora a fake smile.

"I think we're all past the fake smiles by now Ten-Ten. What's been up with you girl?" asked Incora.

"I don't know Incora...I just...Neji hasn't been...you know...attentive...since we got here. At first I understood because I saw how he still struggles...but then I realized that wasn't it...because if it were, we wouldn't have...the day before we all moved out here. So now I don't know what it is. I'm...starting to get bored with him." said Ten-Ten.

"Bored? What does that mean?"

"Calm down, it's not like I'm gonna leave him or anything...it's just...I'm bored with him. He's not...taking care of me anymore...and maybe it has to do with his legs? His job...I don't know. All I know is that I don't like it."

"Ten-Ten...I know my brother... if he isn't showing you any kind of attention, there's something wrong with him. Maybe you should ask him?"

"I try to. But he keeps saying he's fine. I don't know what to do anymore. It's like he's purposely pushing me away. Pretty soon I'm just going to leave..."

"Please don't do that. My brother loves you, and that would just break his heart..." said Incora.

"Honestly, he hurts me almost every day by not talking to me about his problem...I know it's there... but he won't tell me what. And it's like...I thought we were closer than this. I thought...we could tell each other everything." said Ten-Ten.

"I don't know what to say...Ten-Ten...my brother is a very private person...if he doesn't want to talk about it, trust me, he's not going to talk about it." said Incora.

"...What am I gonna do? I can't have this be one sided for much longer..." said Ten-Ten.

"I hope you do something."

"It the meantime, try not telling Neji about this? I have to let him know in my own way."

"What do you mean? He's my brother. I have to tell him something's bothering you. I could help you fix it!" said Incora.

"Incora, I don't need your help. Just...please. Let me handle your brother on my own."

"I don't understand why you would ask me what to do if I wasn't allowed to talk to Neji about it."

"Because Incora. I want to give him the chance to tell me what's bothering him. Once we get to that, I can help him overcome it. And then he'll see that I want to be there for him." said Ten-Ten.

Incora left the room, more confused now than ever before. She had never had to keep something from Neji before. But she didn't want Ten-Ten to be mad at her. Plus, she wanted everything to work out for Neji in the end. Whatever was bothering him would have to come out sooner or later. Incora kind of had a feeling about what it was.

She went into her room with Akamaru and Kiba. She plopped into her bed and Kiba got on top of her, kissing her.

"Kiba...again? Not now..." she half mumbled half stated.

"Baby...what's wrong?" asked Kiba.

Kiba held Incora to him, her snuggling into his chest.

"Kiba...if something was bothering you...you would...tell me...right?" asked Incora.

"Of course babe. I'd tell you everything. Why?"

"Ten-Ten and Neji are...troubled I guess...she believes that there's something wrong with Neji...but he won't say anything. And Ten-Ten is not only hurt that Neji won't tell her...but she's getting bored with him because apparently...they don't...you know." said Incora.

"Oh...oh...did you talk to Neji about it?"

"Ten-Ten asked me not to tell him...but I can't hide things from him. He's my brother. I don't hide things from him." said Incora.

"Sounds bad...I don't know what to say to that either...are you gonna tell Neji?" asked Kiba.

"I don't even know...I want to...but I can't...Ten-Ten's still my best friend."

"I...think you should. Friends come...and they go...but family is forever babe. Neji wouldn't keep anything from you."

"I know that...but I can't intervene with Neji's relationship. That's the one thing we try not to touch." said Incora.

"I don't know about this Incora..."

"I'm not sure I know either...the only thing we can do is hope that they pull through...unless he tells me himself that he needs help." said Incora.

Kiba shrugged and nodded off into sleep, seeing as he wasn't getting any. As he was snoring soundly with Akamaru on his chest, Incora turned her back to him, silently breaking down the events of today in her mind.

She was glad she saw Sasuke today, although her roommates raised some good points about him. He used to be absolutely horrible to her. But a lot happened between her and Sasuke that she took into consideration when she became his friend. He had a sweet side to him that she really liked, but more than that, he saved her life once upon a time. How could she ever be mean to him after what he did for her, Neji, and Tobi?

She worried the most about Neji and Ten-Ten. She knew Ten-Ten wouldn't hurt her brother, but she also knew how close-minded he was going to be about letting Ten-Ten in on whatever was bothering him. She had a feeling it was his legs. He struggled a lot, especially when he thought people weren't looking.

She knew how much his pride meant to him, and if anything, that was probably what was bugging him. She fell asleep with worry for her little brother on her mind.

Little did she know that it was the least of her problems.
