B.R.E.A.K…L.I.N.E.

Previously on please remember

Neji wasn't sure where this was going. Hiashi looked straight into his nephew's Eyes. Neji's eyes widened as he realized what will be said…

"Neji, I want you to be the Successor of the Hyuuga Clan"

Please remember, Chapter 9

Neji's breath was held in the back of his throat. 'Successor….Of …Hyuuga? Me?' Neji thought, He couldn't believe what he was hearing, He was a member of the branch family, and now his uncle – the representative of the Hyuuga head family- wants him to become the successor?

"But…" Neji started, He didn't know what he was going to say. 'Should I accept it? Why now…I mean…I don't…' Neji's thoughts were as confused as he was. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Neji…" Hiashi started, "…You don't have to decide now. Think it over, and then tell me your decision." Hiashi said. He got up and walked out of the room, leaving a very confused Neji sitting alone on the couch.

Neji had always believed, ever since he was a kid, that his fate was chosen. He was born as a Branch Family member. That's his fate, that's what he believed. Up till 5 years ago at the Chuunin exam, when he lost against Uzumaki Naruto that he realized that he was able to change his fate, just like everybody else.

And Now, Hyuuga Hiashi was giving him the choice to become the Successor. Who was he to say no? 'I've always wondered what it would be like to be a Head family member. Being a successor is a whole different thing. It's up to me what happens to this clan, Our clan' Neji thought. He got up and opened the door, walked down the corridor to his bedroom and opened the door.

His room had faint blue colored walls, and his bed was medium sized, not too small, not too big. The covers were dark blue and navy colors. His room had a small window that overlooked at the backyard. Next to the bed was a dresser. A couple of photos and a clock were on it. Neji threw himself on the bed, looking at the time.

'6:30' Neji read the clock. He looked at the Ceiling.

'Neji, I want you to be the Successor of the Hyuuga Clan'

Those words played over and over again in his head.

A knock on the door was heard then the door slowly opened, Hanabi's head peaked from the slightly cracked door.

"Neji-nii-chan…" Hanabi cheerfully said. Neji smiled and got up. "…I didn't bother you, did I?" she asked, coming into the room. Hanabi wore a black Kunoichi pants with matching sandals and a black sleeved shirt, the shirt had a drawing of a light blue dragon circling all around the shirt starting from the hem of the shirt, its head stopping near the Shirt collar. She wore her long black hair in a messy bun. She entered the room and put her hands behind her.

Neji nodded, "No, you didn't" He said, "Good…" She smiled. Ever since Neji moved in with them 5 years ago and they had gotten in a strong brotherly bond. He trained her weekly and she joked around with him during breaks, playing some pranks, planting some traps. Neji warned her not to place any traps for him, she never listened.

"Well, what is it?" He asked, sitting up straight now.

"Well, My Byakugan…" she said, looking at the ground, "…I'm not fully trained to Use it… and you…" she said, holding her hands together. "…I always watched you use it. I watched you practice everyday….and you're really good at activating it, not to mention controlling it…and my Chuunin exam is getting closer…" she continued, Neji got up and walked towards her. "Do you want me to help you?" he said, she looked up to him and smiled, he was pretty much taller than her.

"If you can…if you're not busy" she said, Neji gave her a stupid look. "I'm sitting alone in my room, how could I be busy?" He asked, crossing his arms. Hanabi did the same and narrowed her eyes at him "well, maybe you're meditating…or thinking about someone, that girl, maybe. What's her name?" she said, putting her finger on her Chin.

"I do not like Tenten" he yelled, She gave him a quizzical look. "Who said anything about Tenten?" she said. "Well, she… we practiced together and you…" he stuttered. Hanabi was giving him an evil smile. He rolled up his sleeves, replying with a similar smile, "Uh-Oh" she said. Hanabi gulped and backed up a bit…"I…I think I heard Hinata call me." She said, and ran out the door. Neji ran after her.

5 minutes later

Hinata was getting out of her room when heard someone call her name.

"Oi, Hinata!" a young girl's voice whispered, she looked around. "Who's calling me? A spirit? I always knew this house was haunted somehow" Hinata said, putting her hands in front of her.

"It's not haunted, Baka. It's me, Hanabi…Up here" she whispered. Hinata looked to the ceiling, there she found her little sister hanging from the ceiling using her Chakra. Hinata shook her head.

"What are you doing up there? You could get hurt." Hinata said in an almost motherly tone. "Shshshshshsh…. Don't talk. Have you seen Nii-chan?" Hanabi asked. Hinata nodded as a no. "I just got out of my bedroom. Why? Did you do something to him? Is he planning on killing you?" Hinata joked, crossing her arms, Hanabi dropped down in front of her older sister.

"No, well, Maybe… I figured out that Neji has a crush on some girl he knows…I dunno, Ton-ton maybe, that was her name…I think…" Hanabi said, trying to figure out the girl's name.

"Ton-Ton!?" Hinata Asked, a picture of Tsunade's pig popped in her head. 'Neji and Ton-ton???' Hinata thought. She shuddered at the picture. "I don't think her name is Ton-ton" Hinata said, laughing. 'I think she means Ten-ten. Everyone knows something's going on between those two' Hinata smiled, listening to her younger sister.

"Anyways, So Neji's been following me, but I think I've lost him...hehehe. We're kinda playing hide and seek." Hanabi said. Hinata put her hands on her waist. "Playing hide and seek with Neji is not fun, he'll find you in no time with Byakugan" Hinata said, winking at her little sister.

"Well, we made a deal. None of us will use Byakugan" Hanabi said, Hinata smiled, Hanabi looked around. Hinata leaned down to her sister, hands on her knees. "What's wrong?" Hinata Asked.

"Um, well, can you use your Byakugan to see where he is?" Hanabi looked at her sister. "I thought you two agreed you won't use it" Hinata said, eyes narrowing at her sister. "Well, we agreed on ME not using it. I never said anything about YOU not using It." she said, grinning. 'She's a sharp thinker, she's got Neji's attitude, No doubt.' Hinata thought.

She clasped her hands together, forming the seal. "Byakugan!" she said, pupils appeared in her eyes, the veins around her eyes bulged. She scanned the Area around her. 'Not on this floor' Hinata checked the first floor.

"He's in the backyard." Hinata said, releasing the Byakugan.

"Thanks sis" Hanabi smiled. Hinata had an evil look on her face. "Sure thing, little sis." Hinata laughed, Hanabi went downstairs. Hinata counted in her head. '5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.'

"HINATAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Hanabi yelled. Hinata chuckled. Neji came upstairs holding Hanabi on his shoulder. "Put me down; Put me down, PUT ME DOWN…" Hanabi continued yelling. Neji laughed. "Thanks, Hinata-sama. I owe you one" He said, "You don't owe me anything." Hinata said chuckling.

"How did you get me? I thought we agreed not to use Byakugan" Hanabi said, Neji put her down.

"Well, I agreed on not using Byakugan to find you. You didn't say ANYTHING about not using it to look for Hinata, who was using the Byakugan because SOMEONE asked her to." Neji smirked. "We…" Neji pointed at Hinata and himself. "…Agreed during the moment she used Byakugan" Neji said, smiling at Hanabi. "SHE didn't even talk" Hanabi said, "we've got out own language" Hinata said, putting her tongue out. Hanabi looked at both Hinata and Neji.

"ALRIGHT, GAME OVER. C'mon, Neji. Teach me how to activate Byakugan, PLEASE!!" She pleaded, holding on Neji's sleeve. Neji laughed, "Alright, alright…HEY, SLOW DOWN!" he said while he was being pulled by Hanabi. Hinata laughed.

"Hey, wait for me. I'm coming with you guys." Hinata said, going downstairs after the two Hyuuga's.

Hokage Building

Kankurou was walking down the corridors to go to his brother's room. He passed a few guards, nodding to them as a hello. He reached his brother's room.

He knocked on the door. "Gaara, Temari and I are having dinner and you're already late. If you're late for another 5 minutes, Temari will devour the food" Kankurou laughed as he pictured his sister literally DEVOUR the food. But stopped when he found no answer.

"Gaara?" he said, opening the door. He walked in, 'damn, his room is even bigger than mine' Kankurou said, but ignored his thoughts. "Yo, Gaara. I'm not in the mood for playing, I'm hungry" he said, his stomach growled. He walked into Gaara's bedroom. "He's not here as well." Kankurou said, "I bet he's gone out for one of his Night walks" he said, going back to his room.

Temari's room.

Temari was sitting on the table in the middle of her room. Kankurou's room and hers were connected; a door was separating the two rooms. Both rooms were the same color and the same size as Gaara's room. Kankurou always seemed to feel that his room was the smallest.

"Hey…" Temari said as young brother walked in. "…Where's he? I thought you went to call him" She told her brother, who now joined her on the table.

"He wasn't in his room" Kankurou said, Picking up an empty bowl of the table and pouring some chicken soup in it. (I don't know about you guys, but Chicken soup is my fave, yum Yum.) Temari sighed, "Out for a walk I guess?" Temari said.

"Mmm" Kankurou nodded, Temari rested her chin on her hand and sighed. "Alright then, let's eat…"she said, "…But leave some for Gaara; he might want to eat later." She said, picking up the chopsticks and put some of the beef, which was on the table, in her own plate.

09:30 pm, Yamanaka Flower Shop (I skip the time because I hate writing unnecessary stuff)

"Sweetie, can you lock the shop for me? Your father called, he wants me to make dinner…" Asuka asked her daughter, hanging up on the cell phone. Ino nodded. "It's Ok, Mom. Just go, I'll make sure it's locked" Ino said, smiling. "Thanks sweetie and be careful on your way home. The stun gun is in the 2nd drawer on the left" Asuka said, picking up her purse and going out of the door. Ino laughed, her parents were always overprotective.

"All alone again" Ino said, she looked at the clock above the door. "09:32, it's really late. I guess when there's nothing to do, the time goes by quickly" She said, "hmm. I should start locking up." Ino said, picking up a key, she locked the Cash register. She put the key in her pocket. Ino sighed and took the apron off, 'what's next? Oh, back door. Burglars always use back doors. But why would they rob a flower shop?' she laughed at her own thoughts.

She went to the store room in the back of the shop to lock the backdoor where it was dark. She pulled the string that was hung from the ceiling in front of the door and the place lit up.

She walked towards the door, on her way; she tripped on something but was able to stand straight again. She looked at the thing that tripped her; it was a broom, leaning on the wall, almost mocking her. "Are you trying to kill me?" she talked to the broom, and chuckled. She walked to the door to lock it. Pulling the handle to make sure it was locked. Suddenly it went dark.

"Great, Just great" Ino mumbled. She started walking back to the front of the shop, but she forgot to adjust the broom's position. She tripped again but this time she fell. She tried to brace herself with something but ended up hitting a few shelves, making the pots and little shovels on it fall, they all fell on the ground except one.

"OUCH!! MY ANKLE!!" She yelled, sitting on the ground, holding her twisted ankle. One little pot was still spinning on the shelf which was above her.

"Damn it! Now what am I supposed to…"

CRASH!!

The pot fell on her head; she groaned and lost consciousness, her body laid down on the ground.

Konohagakure streets

The sound of the whiff of the trees filled the silence of the village. Everyone was in their homes, this part of the town was silent, mostly homes. On the other side of the town were bars, restaurants and shops that kept their doors open for a late night hour. Gaara happened to be walking along the street when he heard a sudden crash.

'What was that?' Gaara thought. He tried to figure out the source of the sound. There were lots of houses and shops in this street. God knows where that sound came from. 'Maybe it's from there' Gaara looked at a shop that still had the lights on. The sign read, "Yamanaka flower shop" Gaara said and walked towards the place.

He pushed the door and walked in. the bell on top of it rang, Gaara walked in without a word. 'It's unlikely for someone to leave their shop open.' Gaara thought. He took his gourd off and put it aside as he was walking towards the counter; he leaned on it and took a look behind it. Maybe someone was sitting there. 'No one' Gaara heard a little whimper in the back store. He leaned off the counter and walked towards the store door, on his way in, he hit his head on something.

"SHIT!" He yelled, placing his hand on his forehead. He looked up to see a hanging light, he pulled the string but it didn't turn on. He touched the lamp & turned it a bit. The place lit up again. He was shocked of what he saw. He saw broken pots & different things scattered on the ground. Beneath it all, there was someone lying on the ground, blood was dripping from their head….
