HI GUYS! IT'S ME AGAIN! Here is Chapter 4! Neji's POV is short because I can't think of his own chapter and I can't think of anything for him right now. I can't think of anything for him to say, but I want to cliff-hanger you all. TIME TO GO OUTSIDE HIS PERSONALLITY! Hope you lub it!

Disclaimer: Neji: SAY IT!

Me: You didn't even give me time to.

Neji: Fine….

Itauke&Neji: SAY IT!

Me: DEAR KAMI YOU TWO ARE ANNOYING!

Itauke: 'Cause you made us like this.

Me: Shut up.

Happy Reading!

Chapter 4:

Neji's POV:

Neji walked back to the Hyuga compound, and went back to sleep. He wished Itauke would share more about his mission, but he seemed to have zero time. He plopped on his bed and lied down, hands folded across his chest. He looked at the ceiling. He thought of when he and Itauke were little, and always played, before he got his curse seal.

*Flashback*

Two little boys were running around the compound gates.

"Wait up!"

"Oh, come on Neji! You're so slow!"

"I wouldn't look slow of you weren't running so fast!"

The two were just running around. Just plain running. They weren't allowed to leave the Compound gates, or they'd be in trouble by the Elders. Even so, Itauke wanted to go outside for a little while. They ran there, not really caring about their noise level.

"Alright, we're here!" Itauke yelled gleefully.

Neji stopped beside his friend. He seemed awfully tired, speaking they ran from the back of the compound, to the very front non-stop.

"Are you sure? If we're caught—"

"We won't be! Now come on!" Itauke ran outside the gates and Neji followed.

Neji was running, but since he was already tired his vision was a little blurry. He was unable to see his surroundings until he stopped for a breather. Itauke was stopped in front of a small hut, with a roof twice its size. Itauke ran to the roof and Neji silently followed.

When they reached the top, Itauke sat down on a small bench and lied down so his feet dangled off the edge. Neji sat beside him. He looked at the other Hyuga. "So why did you want to come all the way out here?" Neji asked. "It's so far from the compound.

Itauke looked straight up at the clouds. "I don't really like the clan, Neji. You know that."

Itauke's face looked way grimmer than it usually would. Neji just stared at his friends face. He didn't really know what to ask. He remembered the other night, there was a strange scream. Neji wouldn't have heard it if he wasn't by his kitchen window. He then looked at Itauke's forehead, thinking he might have it.

Neji noticed Itauke's forehead had a bandage over it. If he wasn't looking for it he wouldn't have seen it, because his hair mostly covered it. But there it was.

That damn mark. The clan's seal.

"Itauke, did you get the seal?"

He nodded.

"For who?"

He looked at the other boy now.

"I don't know."

Neji and Itauke were now running back to the compound. It was hours after lunch, and if they were late the Elders would know they were gone.

Itauke didn't seem too worried about it. They both ran through Konoha. Now that Neji wasn't so tired, he could absorb the scenery. There were lots of buildings, and he noticed a park too. He even noticed a couple of people that looked his age. A boy with black hair that looked like a ducks butt, and another boy with brown messy hair and red marks on his face. He even had a dog on his head. Even a weird looking kid with bowl-cut black hair, and really bushy eyebrows. If Neji had the time he would say hello, but he didn't. He and Itauke kept running.

They got to the gates, unseen. Perfect. Now no one would question why they were out.

"Crap, hide!" Itauke hissed.

He grabbed Neji's sleeve and pulled him behind the closest thing, which was a weird looking building. Neji was about to ask why, but then he heard people. The Elders to be exact. They passed by, almost noticing how Neji's blue shoe was sticking out in the open.

"—And even Hiraku is dead now!" an Elder finished.

Itauke tensed at that name. He had a reason. It was his father's name.

"Yes! Now we can finally kill that damn brat of a son he has. What's his name? Itariu? Salso?"

"Surino Itauke Hyuga." Another corrected.

Itauke flinched at his real name. To be correct, Itauke is also his real name, but it's his middle name. He hated his first name. The Elders called him Surino because it annoyed him. A lot.

"Soon so will—"

The elders moved on, and neither Neji nor Itauke could hear them. Itauke slumped down to the ground. His father was killed? He already knew his brother was killed on a mission, and his mother was dead. But now his father?

*End of Flashback*

Neji already knew Itauke turned sourer that day. Although he didn't know why he though of that moment at the particular time. All he knew is that he should go to sleep. He closed his eyes, and slowly drifted to sleep.

SOOOOOOOOOO? WHAT DID YOU THINK? I was going to put the part where Itauke encounters Orochimaru in this chapter, but I didn't really feel like it. It would be too long. So instead I cut this in half. Hope you liked this Chapter and I hope to finish chapter 5 soon!
