Note: hehe, looks like i'm gonna start updating Saturdays doesn't it? Well, we'll see. I may/maynot update next week due slight writer's block. I may stop introducing characters to get plot in, but i'm not sure yet. Anymewho, thank you to all who reviewed (i've forgotten to say that haven't I...) this chapter was written with your motivation!

Listening to: In Your Eyes (Kylie Minogue) (ITACHI'S SONG!!)

Disclaimer: Like shell i own Naruto? I barely know Japanese...TT.TT kyuu...i'm learning though (kinda, sorta, not really...)

"Hey Gaara, wanna read my book?"

"…"

"It's really good!"

"…"

"It's based on some of the other shinobi, the ones you faced in the Chuunin exams. Naruto is in it!"

"…I'll read it, but if I find you have insulted him in any manner, you might be found dead in an unknown location possibly between here and rock."

"You know what, I just realized it isn't really finished yet, I should probably go work some more…"

Chapter 6: He didn't have any

Hyuuga Neji had always considered himself a protégé. Even through all the angst fits and beliefs in fate, he knew he was better than everyone around him. When you're better than everyone, there are two ways you can do it: have good qualities others don't have, or not have the faults of others.

Hyuuga Neji was a combination. He had the Byakugan, and the mind to use it. But what he didn't have that faulted everyone else was hormones. This fact has been tested numerous times by the constant risings of the force known by many names but referred to here as fangirl.

"Bwahahahahaha! My god Kakashi-san, what the hell is this? It's hilarious!"

"I'm glad you like it Temari. I'm learning that fewer and fewer people are really appreciating a literary wonder for what it is."

"Oh, it's a wonder certainly. You capture likenesses very well. I'm impressed."

"Why thank you."

"There's just one little thing…"

"And what's that?"

"Am I and my siblings going in this?"

"If you want to!"

"Oh yes, we want to a right…hehe, make Kankuro's story really bad."

"And why would I do that?"

"He stole my chocolate, the bastard."

"My, my, that is a crime. Don't worry Temari darling, he won't get away with that."

This force, which has plagued many over the years, is a terrifying thing, one that can reduce even the bravest shinobi to hiding for fear of being overwhelmed. Hyuuga Neji was perhaps one the Konoha's elite shinobi. He was a genius, yet here he was, crouched in a dark closet, waiting.

Disgusting he thought to himself. It was a sad fate, after all, when one could not defend oneself because the attackers are "civilians". Like hell, those things were the second most annoying thing in the world. The first being…

'HYUUGA NEJI, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!'

'Shut up Tenten, they might hear you!' He pulled her in as well, hoping that they wouldn't see.

'NEJI YOU GET OUT OF MY CLOSET OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL DIP YOUR HAIR IN MUD AND BRUSH IT WITH WEEDS!'

Maybe hiding in her closet wasn't the best idea…

"Just one question: is this the guy who looks like a girl and beat up his cousin in the Chuunin exams way back when?"

"Indeed he is Kankuro."

"And his teammate is the girl Temari faced…?"

"Yup."

"Hehehe, nice Kakashi, real nice."

Ten minutes later he found himself in a very, very large pickle. Not only had Tenten carried out her threat when he had tried to explain, she had called the Neji Hotline and told them he would be outside her apartment in three minutes…

They took two to get there. He saw them coming as he backed slowly away from his teammate's growing murderous aura, "shit" being the only word going through his mind. Not only would his fangirls have him, but the entire village would see his muddied and weed-infested hair.

Today was not a good day for Hyuuga Neji, but then, most birthday's weren't..

Character Sighting: Hyuuga Neji-

'Protégé' is the word used to describe him by his family. 'Youthful Genius of Team Gai' is the title given to him by his sensei. However, neither description depicts Neji for what he really is. There is really only one person who truly knows the being that is Neji. Tenten describes him perfectly when she stated that he is an 'emotionless Ass who spends waaay too much time on his hair.'

"Kakashi-san, showing me this book isn't going to get you out of the hospital any faster."

"Come on Shizune! Isn't a literary wonder a 'get out of hospital free' card?"

"It is not and I don't want to know who or what gave you that notion. Now go to room 105 and someone will be with you shortly."

"But I really must continue writing…"

"Write in the room then. You are getting a checkup and if you don't go willingly, I'll get Sakura-san."

"You wouldn't!"

"Excuse me, Yumi-san, could you please call Sakura-san. Tell her Kakashi-san is here and--"

"Okay, okay! I'm going!"

Note: So yeah, might not update next week, but the guilt factor could push me enough that i will. shruggs please review and motivate this otherwise lazy (and somewhat brain dead) writer!
