Author's Note: Hi hi! I come back! Damn, school starts again! I hate school! School sucks! Unfortunately for me, but this is my destiny (damn I sounds like Neji…). Poor me… I don't wanna talk anymore so let this story started!
Thanks a lot to Asakihe of your proofreading! It really helps me a lot!

Chapter 07: Accident In The Morning
It was the first morning of Hinata's life in her new school. She yawned lazily and stretched her limbs. She eyed her uniform, which had been hung before she went to sleep last night. It was a blue sky-colored sailor uniform, with a red ribbon as tie. It was a cute uniform, despite the fact that it was a bit… to short. It only reached to about her mid-thigh. She was sure that once Neji saw her in this uniform he'd blind the eyes of the school's entire male population.
Slowly, she made her way to the bathroom (A/N: did I forgot to mention that each room has its own bathroom?) and freshened up. She changed into her uniform and was planning on wrapping a dark blue bandana around her head when she spotted her headband protector on her desk. Her thoughts went to Neji.
How should he hide his curse seal? She wondered it looks like we can't wear our headband protector freely like we did in Konoha. She drowned in her thought as she held her bandana. An idea plopped into her mind, and she shoved the bandana into the pocket of her skirt.
Now, where was his room? She asked herself as she walked out of the girl's dorm and made her way to the boy's. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Neji had just finished his morning routine (well, for him, it consisted of combing his beautiful, silky, shimmering, etc… long hair; and once he did started, he could do it for an hour) when he heard sounds- and it came from exactly where he was. Who on earth dares to sneak into my room this early! He angrily thought to himself He seriously hoped it wasn't that Maito guy. He reached for his towel, wrapped it around his waist and grabbed a kunai from the cabinet. He cautiously looked to his room, but found nothing- except for Hinata who was sitting on his bed, face reddening when she realized she was caught. Neji frowned. What the heck is she doing in my room? And why is she blushing?
"I- I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something…" her soft and angelic voice broke the silence between them. Her face was redder than tomato, and it was obvious that she was truly nervous. Neji's frown grew deeper. What the hell making her nervous like that? He subconsciously placed his hand on his hips, and finally realized what made her blushed like crazy. Well, he was half naked! Of course she was blushed like that!
And it was true, as Hinata thought to herself, first I saw him in his boxers. And now I see him half naked? God, do you really want to give me a heart attack at such a young age? Her gaze lingered on Neji's body. Just look at his body… his muscular biceps and that six-pack… wait, what am I thinking? Hell no, he's my cousin!
"No, you aren't." Neji replied, "Do you need anything from me, Hinata-sama?" As he spoke, he walked towards his wardrobe and took his uniform. It was a high-necked navy uniform with a pair of navy pants. Hinata just sat in awe when she looked up at his uniform. It would fit him perfectly; she just knew it.
"N-nothing. I just wanted to give you this…" she took the bandana from the pocket and handed it to Neji. His eyes widened slightly, and he looked from Hinata to the bandana on her hand. This was repeated several times, back and forth and back and so on… Hinata chuckled at his reaction. Well, it was RARE that you'll ever see him confused like this, right?
"… And would you mind telling me what to do with… this…?" he said as he took the bandana from her and held it up to his face to examine it. Hinata couldn't help but smile; he looked like a child that had seen a bandana for the first time. It was so cute!
Wait… did I just think he's cute? Oh Lord, he's my cousin for God's sake! … Well, never mind. He truly is cute, there's nothing wrong with me thinking that, right?
"W-well, I thought that we weren't allowed to use our forehead protector freely like we did in Konohagakure… I thought it would be a problem for you to hide your curse seal… so I lending you my bandana to cover it…" She blushed again. Damn, why am I always blushing whenever I'm near him?
Neji stared at her with an unbelievable expression. Does she care about me?
"Well… um, I-- thank you" his cheek showed a tint pink.
Hinata's eyes grew wide. Was it just her imagination, or was he in loss for words? The Hyuuga Neji, loss for words? The Hyuuga Prodigy? To her? A girl he nearly killed about three years ago? And that tint pink on his face… Noooooo, please don't say that he just blushed! That has got to be a… what was that word? … Aha, a MIRACLE!
Oh well, She thought as she realized that the tint of pink had already faded from his face, replaced by the confused look again in just a blink.
"By the way Hinata-sama, how did you get to my room and how did you know that it was my room?"
Uh-oh.
"Err… well, why do you think I was born as a ninja and a Hyuuga? Okay, I'll tell you. Since girls are not allowed enter the boy's dorm, I just climbed the wall! You know what its like, gathering chakra to your feet and climbing the wall…"
"I KNOW how to climb the wall," he told her and raised his hand to her face, which silenced her. "Okay, so you climbed the wall and got into my room. I get it. Then would mind explaining how you found out that it was my room? You only said that you were born as a ninja and a Hyuuga…" Realization drowned in. "…Wait a second…"
1,
"You…"
2,
"Used…"
3,
"Byakugan…?"
Ding-dong! You hit the Jackpot!
"Uh… well, how else do you think I could've done it? It was the most efficient way to search your room" Hinata tried her best to smile, but it only came out as a nervous grin. Neji's face was completely cold of emotions as he stared at her blankly, though it only made her more nervous. She had expected that he would be shocked and get angry, or scream like a madman perhaps, that she had used her Byakugan for such improper things, but hey- it was Neji! What else you could expect?
"Did you…" Hinata almost jumped when Neji started to speak "… see the other boy's room?" Hinata's reply was merely a squeak, but Neji heard her clearly "Y-yeah… why…?"
"I the one who asked. Why you did you need to see another room?"
"U-um… that's because I- I can't find out where your room is with one look, so I- well… had to seek from room to room"
There was an awkward silence.
"Tell me…" Hinata DID jump when she heard his sharp and venomous voice, "What have you… seen…?"
Hinata felt herself gulp saliva with questionable force down her throat. She brought her hand to her face and made a little gesture.
"Just a liiiiiiitle bit…"
ATTENTION!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: Hyuuga Neji, the stoic and expressionless Hyuuga Prodigy, BLUSHING. Very, very truly BLUSHING, but don't get the wrong idea; that wasn't because he just noticed how short Hinata's skirt (well that could be one of the reason ;p). NOOO, of course not … Let me explain this:
He blushed not because he was embarrassed, but because he was angry. VERY angry. Why? Because Hyuuga Hinata, his shy-and-timid-and-stuttering-and-innocent-and-dearest cousin DARED to peek into the boy's dorm, when all the activities had begun, with her and his precious bloodline limit, just to look for where his room was!
"WHY, FOR THE DAMN SAKE, DID YOU HAVE TO PEEKING INTO BOY'S DORM, HUH! AND YOU WERE PEEKING INTO MY ROOM TOO!"
"Oh please forgive me Neji-niisan! I- I know that what I did is a bit ridiculous-" she was cut by another outburst from Neji.
"BIT? A B-I-T? YOU CALL PEEKING AT BOYS WHEN THEY DRESSED OR SHOWERED IS A BIT RIDICULOUS?"
"Well, not all the boys were getting dressed or showering when I peeked at them- OOPES…"
Hinata covered her mouth in embarrassment, cursing her fatal mistaken words. She knew that she would get into REALLY big trouble because of her dumbness. Not to mention that she'd already faced HELL itself when she realized the dark aura surrounding Neji. She had to move fast if she wanted to go home A-L-I-V-E…
"Neji-niisan, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything! It just an accident! I swear to you, my eyes are still virgin! Nothing lost! Believe me! Pleaseeee!"
Well… She had lied. Her eyes were now tainted. Especially when she had peeked at Neji when he was inside the bathroom. She had watched him as he showered (which made her jaw drop in awe) to when he started combing his hair. Nothing was missed. She had seen everything-except for one private part. It wasn't missed, actually, but she had to force herself to look away; unless she wanted Neji to find her unconscious and drowning in her own nosebleed.
It broke her heart that she had to lie to him, though there was no other choice to get trough this. Slowly, Neji's dark aura faded away. His breathing was proper again, and he looked way calmer than before.
"I forgive you now, Hinata-sama. But promise me you won't do that again. You got it?"
"Very clear. At last I know where's your room, so I won't have to peek into another room again" she gave him the brightest and the cutest and the most heartwarming smile to him, which affected him easily but not forever. He managed to smile back briefly. Hinata caught it and blushed a little. Neji frowned and asked her "What is it Hinata-sama? Why are you blushing like that?"
"N-nothing… Um Neji-niisan, I have a request for you. First, please don't call me Hinata-sama; just Hinata or maybe Hina is fine. It's a general school; don't treat me like some heiress or shinobi. And second, you have to smile more. You look more handsome when you smile like that, even thought it just a small and brief smile"
Neji felt his heart flush with joy. Now he can call her just Hinata, without the –Sama. Maybe he would try to call her Hina-chan sometimes. Who knows, maybe she'll smile like this or just blushed like she always does.
"If so, I also have a favor for you. Would you please call me just Neji? Without –Niisan?"
Heat rose to her cheek as she just imagined how it would be like to call him with Neji-san. Or Neji-kun. Or even Neji-senpai! Oh no, I just thought like a fan girl. Get a hold of yourself, Hinata! She shook her head, trying to get rid of her thoughts.
"U-um… So, Neji… kun, would you mind walking with me to school?" she asked as she smiled nicely and offered her hand to him.
Neji was about to take her hand when he remembered something. He looked at her with apology.
"Well, I don't mind, but please wait just a minute. I have to change first. You don't want me to go to school in just towel, right?"
'Actually, I don't mind you wrapped in only a towel- no!' She was almost thought that! Gee, what a pervert! Luckily, she was a shy and composed girl, so only on rare conditions would she speak her mind, unlike Sakura or Ino. She wouldn't embarrass herself.
"U-Um. I'll be waiting here. Please take your time. There's still a lot of time before the first bell, right?"
He gave her one of his famous smirk, except that this one was much… kinder. Warmer. Hinata blushed deeper (if possible) than before. How she saw his beautiful face in that beautiful smirk (not smile!) could make the butterflies in her stomach fly. Her eyes trailed his form until he disappeared into the bathroom. In less that a minute, he came out in his complete uniform, along with bandana that she had given him before. She gawked in awe to see her cousin standing in front of her, look so elegant and masculine. How his uniform fitted him so perfectly… she thought as her jaws dropped. She quickly shook her head and stood up when he approached her.
"Shall we go now, Neji-kun?" she smiled, once again offering her hand to him.
"Aa. Let's go now, Hinata" he smirked back and gently took her hand within his.
They strode away from the dorms and silently walked together to their new school, hand in hand.
