Hey me again, I only own the ideas, not the characters!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, you really spurred me on!

Neji changed into his pajamas before Hinata got back. He wore something really loose, so his sudden lack of cleavage wasn't too apparent. He settled down to read.

Hinata came in with a bang a few minutes later, her eyes wide. She smiled at Neji. Neji nodded back. Then he went back to reading.

" Neji, guess what?"

It was Hinata, and she had climbed onto his bed. She was smiling up at him, probably expecting him to ask what. He wasn't going to, of course, because guessing games were for idiots. He went back to his book. Hinata continued anyway.

" I have friends! Sakura introduced me to this girl named Ino, who introduced me to Sasame, and Isaribi, and Hokuto, and"
She was cut off by Neji, who rolled his eyes and made a gesture for her to hurry up and get to the point. She blushed slightly when she realised she had been rambling.

" Anyway, so now I have people to hang out with. Did you make any friends today, Neji?"

Neji shook his head, continuing to read. Hinata gasped.

" I'm sorry! Here I was, going on and on about all the friends I have, and you don't have any! You can hang out with me and my friends, if you want."

If anyone else had said that, Neji probably would have punched them. This, however, was Hinata, and she meant it in only the best possible way. He shook his head, and turned another page.

" Hinata, my goal while I'm here is not to make friends. I'm supposed to be protecting you, remember?"

Hinata nodded, but she was thinking about how terrible it would be to go through the whole school year with no friends. She just had to get Neji a friend, at least one.

At breakfast, Hinata schemed with her newfound friends while Neji sat uninvited at another table. This time, he was surrounded by girls talking about their upcoming play, and their costumes. He could've cared less if the girl with long pink hair thought she looked cute in a bunny costume. Or if everyone thought she played the flute really well. But he didn't move, because it was just lunch. Not like he had any place better to be or something. The girls did seem disgusted by his appetite though.

" How on earth does she eat that much? Does she have four stomachs?"

" I know! You'd think her stomach would explode!"

" How is she still skinny?!"

" I wish I could eat like that...I hate her!"

And so on. Neji left as soon as he was done.

Hinata, meanwhile, had come up with quite a few plans, one of which she was about to enact.

She and Ino each grabbed one of Neji's elbows as he walked by, and yanked him towards their table.

Then they both let go, and Ino smiled brightly, as if she hadn't just dragged him there against his will. He scowled at her for second, and then, to his horror, he found himself face to face with an older Ino look alike! Like any human being in their right mind, he jumped back.

The Ino look alike smiled at him.

" Hi, I'm Deidara, un!"

Neji already hated her. He quickly turned on his heel and left.

Hinata and Ino watched him leave with disappointment. This meant plan B would have to be enacted.

Neji sat calmly in art/drama class. He was learning something about Van Gogh from his book, as he waited for the teacher to arrive. He had gotten there early so he could have some solitude. It was hard to find any in this school.

Unfortunately, he only got a short period of solitude, because apparently, other people had the same idea. Including that girl with buns and the other one with ridiculously long hair. Luckily, he hadn't chosen a seat between them, but he had chosen one next the girl with ridiculously long hair. He seemed to be cursed or something.

Both of them sat down, giggling about something or other and chattering excitedly. Neji ignored them almost completely.

Neji watched as more girls came in, some busy putting on makeup, or adjusting their hair. Neji wondered why they were so worried about their appearance in an all girls school.

Then, their teacher came in. He had pale white skin, even paler then Neji's, if that was possible, and black hair, that matched his black eyes. He wore black. Neji looked at the other girls in his class, who were staring at the teacher with heart eyes as he began to explain what they were doing that day.

Neji shifted his attention to the teacher.

Oh great, they were going to paint a representation of themselves. Neji helped move the desks and set up the easels. Then he stood blankly in front of the blank paper. Then he thought of it. Dipping his paint brush in black paint, he painted a bird, with a few deft strokes. The girl with the ridiculously long hair looked over.

" Hey, that's a pretty good bird, mine's a horse..."

Neji wasn't finished with his painting. With a few more deft strokes, he painted a cage around it. He suddenly felt the presence of the teacher.

" Pretty good, I think we have another artist in the class..." He muttered, looking at Neji's painting intently. Neji could feel the hate from all the other girls like a crashing wave.

Cries of " What about mine?" rang through out the room, and basically ruined the rest of the class.

During the day, Neji found out he had somehow been signed up for various teams, such as basketball, archery, and cheerleading.

He probably had Hinata to thank for that. He went to the room he shared with Hinata.

Hinata was sittting inside with a bunch of her friends, and seemed to be making plans of some sort. Neji coughed. They all looked up like deer caught in the headlights. Then all the girls rushed out of the room.

Neji walked purposefully across the room towards Hinata. In his hand, he held each roster he'd been given. He held them up in front of her face.

" What is the meaning of this? Don't deny it, I know you did it."

Hinata looked slightly frightened. She cleared her throat nervously and gave him a small smile.

" T-to help you m-make friends?"

Neji groaned. He sat down next to her.

" Hinata, I told you, I am not going to make any friends here. I am supposed to be protecting you. I don't have time for all these teams. "

Hinata smiled slightly, though she still looked nervous.

" Well, you have to try out if you sign up, Neji."

Neji felt his stomach drop to his stomach. Oh great.

Tell me what you think! And yeah, the art teacher is Sai. He seemed perfect!
