"DAMN YOU LEE! DAMN YOU TO FUCKING HELL!!!!" Neji shouted almost in tears. "Why would you do something like that to Hinata?!" Neji punched Lee in the face with a great amount of force.
"Neji, wait!!!" Lee shouted. "I didn't do anything! Sakura's the one who mouth raped me! I don't even like her!" Lee looked as though he was about to cry. Everyone knew how much Hinata meant to him, he didn't care about Sakura in the same way, and with the way things were going, he probably wouldn't ever care about her again no matter what the case. Neji turned to Sakura and glared at her.
"Why are you trying to fuck with my cousin and my best friend?!" Neji said walking over to her.
"I'm doing nothing of the sort, it was just a game, can't you all take things a little less seriously?!" she yelled out. Neji was fuming about now. He grabbed her by her shirt and slammed her against a tree.
"You're nothing but a filthy whore now Sakura!" Neji spat. He threw her down on to the ground and glared into her now fear filled eyes. "What, Sasuke left you so you turned to Naruto who realized he didn't have any feelings for you anymore?" Neji asked kneeling down. "Oh, so then you tried to go for Lee because you knew that he used to be so in love with you. WELL HE'S NOT! He's with my cousin!" Neji said standing up and walking toward Lee. Lee flinched when Neji stepped closer to him. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you." Neji said hugging his friend. Lee hugged him back and stepped back to lean against the tree. He sighed and a tear fell down his cheek. He knew Hinata would be crying her heart out right about now, and Naruto ran to comfort her. This wasn't good in his mind. He was thinking about how she had loved him all her life until just recently. Lee hit his fist back against the tree and slid down. He pulled his knees up to his chest and softly broke down. Everyone was slightly shocked to see Lee get this emotional. Neji sat down next to him and put a hand on his friends shoulder. "It'll be okay." Neji spoke softly.
"No, she's going to hate me. She's going to fall back in love with him Neji. She's not going to love me anymore, all because of this stupid game. I have no chance!" Lee pulled his knees tighter.
"That's not true." Hinata said as her and Naruto both re-entered the campsite. Neji stood and stepped aside allowing Hinata to sit down next to Lee. He looked at Hinata.
"I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't even want to kiss her." he said looking away.
"It's not your fault, I overreacted to the situation. It's a game. I didn't have to freak out and leave." she said leaning against him and holding his hand. He looked over at her and smiled.
"So you forgive me?" Lee asked.
"No, nothing happened for me to have to forgive you." Hinata replied.
"Yes I did! I-" Lee started but he was cut off by Hinata's lips pressing themselves against his. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. Once they had broken apart Lee smiled.
"See? Everythings okay." Neji said leaning against the tree next to them. A slight smirk graced his lips. Naruto stood over next to Shino smiling sadly.
"Haha. Yeah, seems like it." Lee responded grinning. At once everyones attention was turned to Sakura. They wanted answers now. But no one expected Hinata to be the one to stand up and slap her accross the face.
"You're a bitch Sakura." Hinata said. She clenched her fist in case she wanted to hit the girl again.
"Look I'm sorry!" Sakura shouted. She began to cry a little. Hinata glared.
"What right do you have to cry? You attempted to steal my boyfriend!" Hinata shouted back at her.
"Atleast you have someone who loves you!" Sakura clenched her fists. Hinata noticed this and raised her guard just incase.
"Maybe if you weren't such a whore someone would like you. There's plenty of guys go fuck one of them. NOT LEE!" Hinata stated. She began to walk over toward Lee but was stopped as she saw Sakura coming at her through her Byakugan that she activated in anger. Hinata side stepped Sakura's blow and grabbed her from behind. She then threw Sakura into a tree and punched her in the stomache. "Heal yourself bitch, we have a mission to complete in the morning and I'd like it if you didn't drag us down." Hinata spat as she walked toward the others. Their looks were mostly that of shock, except Lee. The training had been paying off. But where did she get that langauge? Either way she was getting stronger. Shino was the first to say anything.
"H-Hinata.. you weren't like this around Kiba and myself back when we were a team." he said.
"That's because I was a shy little weakling then. Now I'm not a weakling. Sure I'm still shy but I have a right to wail on her don't I?" she asked, a little bitchyness still left in her tone.
"Yeah." was all Shino had to reply.
"A-alright." Neji began, but stopped for he wanted to regain composure first. "Everyone, we do have a mission to complete in the morning. So Sakura and Naruto have to share the first tent, Shino and I will take the second tent, and Hinata and Lee will have the last tent." Neji said pointing out each of the tents. "One of us will be up to do gaurd duty. We'll all take turns." Neji stated.
"I'll go first." Shino stated. Neji nodded and they all went to their places.

Lee held Hinata close. He kissed her deeply and pulled the sleeping bag up over them a little more. The two of them snuggled close and smiled.
"I was worried I would lose you today Hinata." Lee whispered sadly.
"Why?" Hinata asked.
"I thought Naruto would attempt to take advantage of you in the situation and I thought you might still love him. I know I'll never replace him." Lee explained.
"Lee, that's not true. You have replaced all my feelings. I love you. Also, Naruto was the reason I came back, he convinced me that I should come back and that you didn't mean to hurt me." Hinata told him. Lee was speechless. He smiled.
"I'm glad." was all he could say before he pulled Hinata as close to him as she could get. Soon after sleep washed over them like a wave.

It was morning the next day. Naruto had woken everyone up. They all took their turns during the night as watch and nothing really happened. They had eaten a small breakfast, cleaned up camp, and taken off silently. It had only taken them a few hours to reach their destination. Lee had urged them to speed up, it seemed only Neji, Hinata, and himself had an easy time. Shino, Naruto and Sakura lagged behind, but they made it early anyway. They didn't even have trouble delivering the scroll. They rested up in an inn that night and left to leave the next morning. They made it back in one day and ran into no trouble whatsoever, well Naruto did stop them all so he could pee. Apperently no one listens to Neji when he says to go before they leave. Ah well. [T/N: Syn got lazy! Tobi is a good boy. They got back and reported the mission as completed to Hokage Tsunade.
"I see, you honestly weren't approached by Orochimaru at all?" Tsunade asked.
"If we were, do you think we'd be approaching you so calmly, let alone approaching you at all?" Neji asked sarcastically. She shooed them out of her office and they all split up with the exception of Hinata, Lee, and Neji. The three of them were going to hang out at Lee's house. When they got to the house there was a note taped to the door addressed to Lee.
"I wonder who it's from?" Hinata wondered. Lee opened it.
"Your father Hinata." Lee said calmly.
"Read it Lee." Neji said.
"Alright, it reads:
"Dear Lee,
I'm suddenly addressing you to let you know that I've moved the date of our little spar to
tomorrow. I'm sure this won't be a problem with you seeing as how you were so confident
in the first place. Tomorrow will be the day I bring my daughter home and she it properly
trained to become the heiress that she is meant to be. I'll enjoy ruining everything that the
two of you have worked together to form. I'll be seeing the two of you bright and early at
7:00 AM on the dot. I promise you'll lose what you've grown so attatched to tomorrow at
my hands.
Good day,
Hiashi Hyuuga.
P.S.
Don't think I'll lose kid. I want my heiress back!"
Lee finished reading the letter and looked over at Hinata immediately. He expected to see her face lit in fear. Instead, she looked confident.
"I know you can do it Lee, I know it!" Hinata said walking to him and hugging him. He smiled and hugged her back. He was a little sadder than usual when she left his embrace.
"So Lee, want to go at it one last time so you can get a little byakugan training in?" Neji asked. Lee smirked.
"Yeah, I can use any upperhands I can get." Lee said. Hinata smiled.
"I'll go inside and make some dinner, how long do you tink you guys will need?" she asked smiling.
"Half hour tops." Neji said.
"Alright." Hinata said walking into the house.

Hinata stood at the stove boiling water for noodles. She began cutting vegetables for a salad. She began daydreaming about doing this for Lee when they're married all the time. She giggled to herself. She finished the salad and put it out on the table, she began setting the table and draining the noodles for speghetti. By the time she had set everything out the two men came in and sat at the table grinning.
"MAN! Lee. You got really good since we last fought. I mean... you beat me! I'm the best Byakugan user in the world so yeah I think you're gonna kill old bitch Hiashi." Neji chimed.
"You think? I mean, I'm not going to kill him but..." Lee looked like he was really pondering killing Hiashi, he wouldn't be missed, right?
"KILL HIM KILL HIM!" Hinata screamed from accross the table. Lee and Neji looked over at her wide eyed. She covered her mouth and blushed giggling.
"Wow, I knew you didn't like him, but wow Hina." Neji smiled at her and laughed. Dinner continued on uneventfully. After the dinner was over Neji left to go home. After a few hours of watching tv Lee and HInata turned in for the night, preparing for the battle to come in the morning.
