Chapter 9

Girl Power and A Plan Revealed

The two girls stopped at the gate of Konoha, panting for breath. They were a team, a team without a teacher, a sensei, a team of just two. Aged 13 and 12, they were very young. However, they were not to be underestimated… the last man who did that was sent to the hospital and is still in a coma today. Finally, one of them spoke.

"We finally made it…"

Nagori's POV

"Yeah…" I replied, glancing at my half-sister, Yanagi.

"Well, let's go." she suggested.

"Right." As we stepped through the gates, I looked around. The whole city almost felt like, no, more like emanated, tranquility.

"You know what? I feel like a fight."

My sister smiled. "What are we waiting for then?"

First, before I continue, might as well introduce myself. My name is Nagori Eiken. The girl beside me is my half-sister, Yanagi Tsuzan. We both have exceptional ninja abilities. Yanagi can create illusions so real, that even after the jutsu is lifted, some victims wander into insanity. I can control a person completely with just one touch or if they come into contact with my chakra blade, similar to Kabuto's abilities, I can also ravage a person's insides without even drawing blood. We act as a team, Yanagi traps them in an illusion while I incapacitate them. Contact with other people… well, it's not too often. Yanagi apparently likes this ninja that she saw during a mission. His name is…Shino? Shimo? Shiwo? Something like that. As for me… well, as foolish as it may sound, I've fallen for the Kazekage, Sabaku no Gaara.

Neji's POV

"So, um, what exactly are you doing? And why is Kiba stuck in the trashcan? And—you know what, I just don't want to know." I walked off, Tenten on my arm. I heard Naruto and Sakura "Whew!" in relief as I walked Tenten home. Apparently, I didn't se the thing they were trying to hide. Oh well. I kissed her goodbye as she gasped in surprise.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for that." I said sweetly, watching Tenten blush. "See you tomorrow…" I said, breaking away and slowly walking home under the evening sunset.

As I walked home, I saw two girls. "Konbanwa." I said, glancing at them.

"Are you a Hyuuga or something?" one of them, the older one, asked.

"How did you know?"

"Your face is emotionless. You're a total ice cube."

I flared up in anger. How dare they insult my clan like that! "Hyuugas may be emotionless, but we're still better than you."

"Oh really?" she said, amused. "I could beat you in a fight anytime. First who falls wins?"

"You're on. I might even have to go easy on you." I said, smirking. "I'm older than you, after all."

"Your funeral." She replied smoothly.

Konoha Training Grounds No.4, the sign read. This should be easy. "By the way, I'm Hyuuga Neji."

"Nagori Eiken."

I had never even heard of her clan. Probably unimportant. We bowed ceremoniously and then the fight began.

Nagori's POV

Arrogant prick.

That was my first impression of Hyuuga Neji, the famed branch family prodigy.

Anyway, the fight began. I used Kage Bushin no Jutsu, creating 5 clones, all with their own chakra. He smirked at this and began hand seals. I rolled my eyes. Two of my clones creeped up behind him. Kami, he wasn't even using Byakugan! I lashed out with a chakra chain. He looked surprised, but ducked out of the way easily—right in front of my clone. I formed a hand seal. "Karada Shinryaku no Jutsu!"I tapped him with my clone's index finger. And with that, the fight was over.

He fell to his knees in surrender. He tried to glare, but his body was frozen, controlled by my chakra.

"So do you surrender?"

"…" Oh, right, he couldn't talk 'cause I was controlling him. Right. I let go of my hold of his mouth.

"How the heck did you do that? I'm supposed to be a freaking prodigy."

"Well, you're looking at "The Prodigy of Kumogakure."

"Hn."

"Is that even a word?"

"Hn."

"Right." I relinquished my hold on him and retracted my chakra chain. He was easy. Konoha was a bit… rookie-ish. Great.

Neji's POV

I was angry. Not just angry at the girl who beat me, me, the Hyyuga prodigy!No, I was also angry at Naruto and Sakura. I just figured out what they were doing. Naruto threw the letter in the trash… Kiba was also in the trash… Naruto dared me to hook up with Tenten… Did I just get set up? Kami, Naruto and Sakura were so dead. But before I could go pound their faces into the ground, I saw a dog. Not just any dog, but Akamaru. Don't tell anyone, but I love dogs. Akamaru is just so cute! *cough* Ahem, anyway, he had a letter. Wait, was that my letter? No way.

Akamaru dropped the envelope in question and I saw that no, it wasn't my letter. It was addressed, Dear Neji. Wait, was that Tenten's writing? I quickly opened the envelope and began reading furiously.

Dear Neji,

You'll never read this. Sakura is making me write, something about "letting loose my feelings." Yeah, I can see your smirk already. So, you might be wondering, what the heck am I trying to tell you. Well, the truth is… I like you. A lot. Like, more than friends. Ugh, screw this, Hyuuga Neji…I love you.

Tenten

Whoa…no freaking way. Tenten liked me? No…loved me? Why was this letter so fluffy? WHY? Sakura…and Naruto…I don't know if I should thank them or spew out endless profanities and curse their name.

Anyway…Tenten…loves me…and that's all I need.

XxXxxxXxX

Yay! . Did I mention FLUFF? OK, fine, not too fluffy… but whatever. The arrival of my OCs is a major plot point. This is a large plot twist. Here's something for you to think about: Why are they here? Why now? Why are their abilities so specialized? And why is that girl semi-insane? Riiiight. Anyway, fourth chapter today! Yay! Yes, I update a lot. So what. R&R! Ja ne!
