I was running to get out of the compound to go on a mission but before I got to leave I saw my father. I slowed down ad stopped in front of him and got on my knees and bow. It was a custom in the mainbranch that women bow down to the men. "Where you going?" asked my father. "I-I have a m-mission f-father." I said while still bowing. "Fine. Just make sure you don't get in the way." My father said. I then saw my father leave and continue walking. He was most likely going to train my older brothers. Once my father left I got up and continued to the exit of the compound. I was almost there when my cousin Minata stopped me. "Well if it isn't daddy's little disgrace." She said. It hurt when she said that even though I already knew my father found me a disgrace. "Where you going?" asked Minata. "I-I have t-to go on a m-mission. P-please move Minata." I said kindly. Even though no matter how kind I was to her she still hated me because I was in the mainbranch. Minata then did something I didn't suspect. She activated her Byakugan. Next thin I knew Minata used her Eight Trigam Wind Palm on me and knocked me back. Just as she did that my older brother Kenji was coming around the corner and ran over to me when he saw me. "Who did this to you?!" Kenji yelled. I just looked ahead and Kenji followed my gaze and saw Minata in a fighting stance with her Byakugan activated. "HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY SISTER!" yelled Kenji. Before I could do anything he activated the second stage of Minata's curse mark and she fell to the floor in pain. "YOU WILL NOT ATTACK MY SISTER LIKE THAT AGAIN! UNDERSTAND?! yelled Kenji. "I understand." Minata said while glaring at me and my brother. Kenji then deactivated Minata's curse mark. "Leave." Kenji said. Minata then ran away to go do who knows what. "Kenji then turned to me and kneeled down so he was my height and hugged me. "You okay sis?" he asked. "I'm F-fine. I n-need to go." I then got out of my brother's grip and ran to the gates of Konohana and saw my team already there. "Where were you Courtney?!" exclaimed Tenten and I just flinched. I hated when people yelled at me. "I'm s-sorry I h-had some trouble w-with my family." I said shyly. I then heard a voice. "This is who we were waiting for? She seems weak and pathetic to me." I looked and saw a man who resembled my father a a bit except is eyes were blue." "She's not weak and pathetic!" exclaimed Lee. "Can we p-please j-just leave?" I asked shyly. We then started heading out to do our mission. On the way I saw Tenten trying to flirt with Neji but he wasn't interested. It made me sad that TenTen was trying to flirt with Neji when she probably knew I liked him. "We'll rest here for tonight!" exclaimed Guy sensei. We then set up camp and I went and sat down on a rock and started crying not knowing someone was watching me.

Neji's POV

We stopped for camp and when we did I noticed Courtney go sit on a rock away from the group. It looked like she was crying. I remember the first time I met her at the academy I thought it was cute how she was shy and kind. But when my father was killed I hated her or any mainbranch member. But ever since the chunin exams when we were thirteen I started to like her again. I'll go talk to her to see if she's alright.

End Neji's POV

Normal POV

I was sitting there crying when I heard some sit down next to me. I looked over and saw Neji. "What's wrong" Neji asked me. Which surprised me. I mean sure we talked more since the chunin exams but it was was always just to say hi or something. "It's n-nothing" I said sadly. "Don't lie. What's wrong?" asked Neji. "Earlier when TenTen was flirting with you I got upset b-because I-I like you." I said. "You like me?" Neji asked me. "Y-yeah ever since w-we w-were in the a-academy together." I said. What Neji said next really shocked me. "To tell you the truth Courtney I like you to. Will you be my girlfriend?" Neji asked. "Sure" I said. Neji then helped me up and we both went to our own tents and fell asleep.

FF to a week

We were finally done the mission and just got back to the village. Gai sensei left to tell the hokage we finished our mission, Lee and TenTen left to go train which left Neji and I alone. "What you want to do?" asked Neji. "I was going to have H-hinata c-come over so we can talk. Can I talk to you later?" I asked him. "Sure" Neji said. He then kissed me and left. I then ran back home and went to look for my father. I found him in the training room with Kenji. "F-father?" I asked. My father then looked at me and said "Your back. How was the mission?" "It was good. I-I didn't get in t-the w-way." I said. "Good you can leave." My father said but noticed that I didn't move. "What is it?!" My father yelled. "C-can I h-have Hinata over?" I asked scared. "Fine. Leave." my father said. " I then left and went to my room and sent a letter to Hinata asking her to come over and she replied back she be there in fifteen minutes. So I went over to the door of the compound and waited. Once I heard a knock I opened it and saw Hinata. I hugged her and we both went to go to my room but we ran into my older brother Takumi. "Sorry Takumi." I said and then Hinata and I went to my room and talked not knowing my older brother Takumi was listening.

Takumi's POV

I was walking down the hall of the compound when I ran into my younger sister and her friend Hinata. "Sorry Takumi." My younger sister said and then continued to her room with Hinata. I had a feeling my sister was hiding something so I decided to follow her. Once I was outside her room I heard her talking with Hinata. "So how w-was the mission?" I heard Hinata ask. "It w-was good." my sister replied. "Anything interesting h-happen?" asked Hinata. "TenTen flirted w-with Neji which made me upset but when w-we made camp N-neji came over and ask m-me w-what was wrong and I-I told him I-I like him and he told m-me he l-liked me to and asked m-me to be his girlfriend and n-now w-we're dating." My sister said. "Congrats" I heard Hinata say. I then left with a smirk on my face and headed to tell father. Believe me I loved my sister but I did not like branch family member and neither did my father. I hate that Neji Hyuuga. I found my father in his office doing some paperwork. "Father can I talk to you?" I asked. My father then looked up at me and said "Of course have a seat." I then went over and sat in the chair across from him. "What did you want to talk about?" father asked. "It's about sister." I said. "What about her?" My father asked. "I just wanted to let you know I heard her tell her friend Hinata that she started dating Neji Hyuuga." I said. My father then got from his chair and yelled "WHAT?!" "Yes she is dating Neji Hyuuga of the branch family." My father then yelled MINATA!" My cousin Minata then appeared and said "yes uncle?" "Go get Courtney and bring her here! and tell Hinata to leave" my father said. "Yes sir." My cousin said and left to go get my sister.

Normal POV

I was talking to Hinata when I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I got up and opened it and saw my cousin Minata. "What d-do you w-want Minata?" I asked her. "Your father wants to see you in his office and wants Hinata to leave." Hinata then got up and left. Minata then lead me to my fathers office and once we were there she left. I then went in to see my father and my older brother Takumi. "Come here." said my father. I then walked over so I was across from him. Before I could do anything my father then slammed me into a wall and I fell to the ground. He then grabbed me by the arm and kicked me in the stomach continuously while yelling. "HOW DARE I FIND OUT FROM YOUR BROTHER THAT YOU ARE DATING A HYUUGA BRANCH MEMBER! I WILL NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER DATING SUCH A LOWLIFE! yelled my father. I then started to cry and said "Neji isn't a l-lowlife. I love him f-father." I said while crying. My father then grabbed me by the hair and slapped me. "I WILL NOT HAVE YOU DATING HIM! YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! I THOUGHT YOU KNEW THAT I CHOOSE WHO YOU MARRY! I CHOOSE WHO YOU GET TO BE WITH! NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" My father then threw me to the ground and I ran to my room. Once I was in my room I cried myself sleep wondering what would happen tomorrow.
