Sorry if Kiba's mother is OOC, I never saw an episode with her in it, so I don't know what she is like…. I DON"T OWN NARUTO! I only own Rei Hyuuga. She's my ORIGINAL CHARACTER! Okee-tay, onwards with the story!

Kiba's mother has been so nice to me. However, she would sometimes tease Kiba about us. He would blush furiously and start to yell at her a bit, but I would just blush and giggle a bit.

"And just what are you laughing at?" he would say to me, but that would just make laugh even more. Today, we were training with our team. I was sparing with Kiba while Shino was sparring with Hinata.

"Don't think that just because you're a girl that me and Akamaru will go easy on you!" Kiba smirked at you.

"I wouldn't have it any other way Kiba-kun!" you called back. I then threw several kunai knives in the direction of bestial boy, and it seemed that they had reached their target until 'Kiba' was replaced by a log. "Crap, a substitution jutsu." I growled. I tried to adjust my chakra towards my nose like Kiba did, and I quickly picked up a scent. It was Akamaru; he was hiding in the bush behind me. He seemed to have transformed, but into what? Just then, Akamaru jumped out of the bush, but he was transformed to look like Kiba.

'Oh, I see…' I thought to myself. '…he's trying to trick me. Okay, I guess I'll play his game…' I turned around and pulled out a kunai all in one swift motion, but instead of dragging the knife into Akamaru's flesh, I slit my own skin. 'If I can get my blood on Akamaru and his blood on me, Kiba may get confused and attack Akamaru instead of me!' I thought. My blood was smearing on the Kiba look alike and I continued to defend myself and slash at my opponent. We were both covered in blood now. That's when I put my plan into action.

"TRANSFORMATION JUTSU!" I yelled, and I too looked like Kiba Inuzuka. Akamaru wasn't fooled, and I'm pretty sure that Kiba wasn't. He was probably watching from a safe place at the moment so I would think that it was Akamaru who was hiding. I engaged in combat with Akamaru again, but this time I managed to knock out the dog while making it look like it transformed into me. Kiba jumped down from his hiding spot in the trees and came running towards me.

"Good going Akamaru!" he praised, but what he didn't realize was that his furry companion was on the ground in my form. I turned towards my sparring partner with a slight smirk. "Hey Akamaru, what's wrong?" the boy asked, but I just lunged at him while releasing my transformation jutsu. Kiba was now on his back with me straddling him and holding a kunai knife to his throat. I brought my face close to his, and I wore a satisfied grin.

"Pinned ya." I said in a sing song voice, but instead of growling at me, Kiba just blushed a bit. I then remembered that I was straddling him and quickly got off. My cheeks were also tinted red.

"Alright, Rei wins the match." Our sensei declared, and I threw my fists in the air in triumph.

"YEAH!" I yelled, and Kiba pouted a bit; his face was still red. I felt a little bad and offered to treat him to some ramen.

"Nah, I'm fine. I'll just head home. I'll see you there." And with that, my crush walked off into the distance with the small dog trailing along behind him. I sighed in slight disappointment as I watched Kiba walk away, but I soon turned to my teammates and sensei.

"So, do any of you want to get a ramen with me?" I asked with an innocent smile on my face. Hinata and Shino shook their heads no, and so I turned to my sensei.

"Sorry." She said. "I have to talk to Asuma about some upcoming events." I now had no one to hang out with. This was just peachy. I decided to go get Naruto and Sakura to get a ramen. On the way there, I heard my brother's team training, so I stood there and watched. Lee was trying so desperately to defeat Neji, but to no avail. Neji's Byakugan was well trained, and he was just too good for Lee.

"Neji…I will beat you…one day…I swear it…!" Lee said through his gasps for air. My brother just gave him a cold stare.

"If you can't beat me now, then what makes you think that you can beat me later on? Just hard work and effort won't change anything. It means you are destined to lose to me. You can't change destiny." I couldn't believe how cold my brother was being towards Lee. Before I knew what was going on, I bolted towards my brother and tried to tackle him. He still had his Byakugan activated, and he quickly gave me a swift blow to the stomach causing me to propel backwards.

"N-nej-ji…" I gasped and my brother just glared at me.

"What is it that you want? You already caused our family enough shame as it is." He said venomously. I was hurt by his words, but I tried not to let it show. I couldn't afford to let my brother see weakness.

"How could you." I whispered. "HOW COULD YOU!!" I yelled, and now Tenten, Lee and Gai-sensei were all staring at me. I was breathing heavily to suppress my rage, but it couldn't be helped. I tried to lunge at Neji again, but he used the gentle fist technique again to prevent my attack from reaching him. "Brother…you used to believe that you could shape your own destiny. You used to believe that you could control your own life! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?!?!" Tears were forming in my eyes, but Neji's expression did not falter. His eyes held so much emotion: sadness, humility, anger, and most of all… hatred.

"Don't you dare call me your brother." He snarled almost. The tears that had built up behind my glass orbs began to fall. It was just like when Lord Hizashi threw me out.

"Lord Hizashi! Why are you doing this to my sister?!" Neji yelled at Lord Hyuuga. I was so afraid for my brother. Not only was Lord Hyuuga much stronger than Neji, but he could also control my brother with the seal on his forehead.

"Uncle, please!" I cried as I got between the two.

"Don't you dare imply that I am related to you!" I was thrown to the ground again, and I started to cry.

"Perhaps I was wrong," Neji whispered. "you can't mold your own destiny." My heart felt like it would tear in two. Neji had decided to take a chance, and his hopes for me were shattered. I ran for it. I half expected Neji to call after me, but he didn't. My tears kept falling even as rain began to pour. My legs brought me to the stone bench in the park. I lay down and cried for everything. I cried for how much my heart ached, I cried for the physical pain I was in, but I cried the most for Neji. He was hurt so much, and it was all my fault.

"The tears that spill from your eyes show weakness. That will never change. Your eyes show that you are remembering your past with our family. It will never change. You are not welcome in the Hyuuga family…that…will never…change." Neji then turned around and left towards the Hyuuga compound. His teammates and sensei watched my quivering form in pity before they too left. Once again, I was alone and scared. Neji hated me, and there was nothing I could do about it. I cried there for a few hours before a warm hand was placed on my shoulder. I half expected to see Kiba staring down at me, but instead it was Naruto. He, Sakura and a very upset looking Sasuke were all behind me and looking at me with concerned expressions (except for Sasuke).

"Hey, are you alright, Rei?" Naruto asked, and I shook my head sadly.

"What happened?" Sakura asked and I only said one word.

"Neji."

"WHAT?!?! NEJI DID THIS?!?! HE WILL PAY!!!" Naruto yelled with his fists in the air.

"Naruto, you loser." Said Sasuke as he walked over to us. "Neji Hyuuga is a lot stronger than you. Do you really think that just because you want to beat him up you will actually be able to?"

"I DON'T CARE! HE UPSET REI!" Naruto continued to bellow until Sakura finally smacked him upside the head.

"Naruto! Sasuke's right! Neji is a really strong genin! If you were to go up against him, then he would beat you down before you could lift a finger!" Sakura said.

"You guys, it's okay." I said meekly causing my three friends to look away from their bickering. "I just upset Neji, so he just got mad at me. It's no big deal." While Sakura gave me a concerned look and Naruto continued to grumble about my brother, Sasuke stared at me for a little bit. In his own strange way, it seemed like he actually cared. "You guys, don't worry about me. You should all get home." I said again, and Team 7 finally left. After staring off into the distance of where my friends left, I too went home. Kiba was waiting at the table. His mother had gone off on another mission.

"Hey Rei!" he said cheerfully. "Where have you been? Your dinner's gettin' cold!" I ignored my roommate and continued on my way towards my room. "Rei? Are you okay?" the boy continued to ask me.

'Please, just leave me alone Kiba-kun…' I pleaded in my mind, but he continued to call after me.

"REI!" he said after finally pinning me to the wall and forcing me to tell him what happened. "Wow," he said after I had finished. "It's that bad, huh?"

"Yeah, and I'm sure that it's only gonna get worse." I mumbled and Kiba growled a little at me. "Kiba-kun?"

"Don't say that! You can't just let this all get to you! You are strong. Just because your brother says you aren't doesn't mean you have to listen to him!" I blushed a bit. Kiba had never done this for me. "I don't like seeing you cry, so please, don't let what Neji says get to you." Kiba then let me go, but as I was walking towards my room, he asked me something. "Oh, by the way. Kurenai-sensei gave us the day off tomorrow, and if you weren't doing anything, I was wondering if you would like to hang out with me." My face grew warm with delight.

"Sure." I said and we both went to bed on a peaceful note.
