Recap

"Well, I'm sorry for making you go through these boring introductions, but I truly don't know you guys. It's nice having new faces around here. It gets sort of lonely around this big place."

"It's alright," the three chorused. Meiko smiled with a look of pure peacefulness on her face. This was different. It meant a new beginning.

"MEIKO!" Neji's voice rang through the entire mansion.

"Someone's a little cranky…"Meiko giggled.

"More like PMSing," Tenten snorted. The silver-haired vampire quickly excused herself to go hide from her older brother's friend.

"THERE YOU ARE, YOU DEMON CHILD!" Neji's voice was close now. An 'eek' came from the escaping Meiko's mouth while she ran down the hall at top speed screaming something about an exorcist coming to get her.

The four girls quickly ran after the two in order to find out what the fuss was about… mostly because they were in desperate need of a comedy show. When they caught up to them, Meiko had been cornered into a part of the courtyard and Neji was closing in. The expression on Meiko's face was one of enjoyment and terror. Neji was sort of an intimidating person. A/N: Yyyyeaaaahhhhhh…. Just sort of…..

"What. Did. You. Do?" Neji said, a sadistic look on his face.

"Why, what on earth are you talking about, Neji-dearest?" Meiko said in a baby-voice. Her face showed a sense if innocence and curiosity. It was pure. It was believable. Neji didn't trust it.

"I am TALKING about the NARE you put in my shampoo!" he yelled at her.

"If there was nare in your shampoo, then why do you still have hair?"

"I didn't use it… CHO decided to use it on Emiko's bunny when she found out what you did. It is obvious you tell your friends all that you do to torture Naruto and I."

"I was doing you a FAVOR! You look so GAY with long hair. Dont you want to look more masculine?"

Veins were popping out of Neji's forehead. This girl gave him plenty of unecessary headaches.

"Neji, leave my sister alone..." Sasuke drawled as he passed through the courtyard behind them, reading a book. Just as soon as he had come, he was gone.

"That was odd," Sakura whispered to Hinata.

That evening, all twelve people sat down at the dining hall. Emiko was obviously put off with Cho for washing her bunnies in nare. The evening was silent, except for the occasional cough to break the tension.

"So Cho, how was your day?" Ino asked, eyeing her with a peculiar look in her eyes.

"Oddly eventful. Emiko has rats with ears now. Have you seen?" A death glare came from the dear, sweet Emiko.

"I would rather not," Sakura mumbled under her breath, afraid of the fury that would await if she offended Emi.

"W-well, I have a question..." Hinata started, shyly. "What exactly are we going to do about our lives at home?"

"Who cares," Sasuke said indifferently. "You're staying here until the apocalypse." Meiko's fist went smashing down on his chicken-formed head.

"You can go back for a while, but not long enough for anyone to figure out what you are. Look at me, I've been going to college for 200 years." The last statement obviously had irritated the everlasting girls. School was not exactly their favorite thing to go through.

"I think I'll get out of your hair. I'll leave tomorrow. My internship for the New York Times starts next week." Tenten got up from the table, officially excusing herself.

She's leaving?! Neji thought.
