I don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall asleep,
Cause I'd miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing.

Kyarra dreamed of black.

She was surrounded by it, but there was no pain. It was like that for a while, but then it morphed into some sort of cave.

She saw a little girl, maybe around seven years old. She had short, light-blonde hair with black streaks and blue eyes. She looked familiar to Kyarra. In front of her was an older boy with black hair and onyx eyes. He had two lines running down his face on either side of his nose, and he was very pale.

"What now, big brother?" The girl asked him, though they were obviously not related. The only thing similar was their clothing. They were both wearing black.

He gave her a tiny smile. "Now we wait." he patted her head then sat down on a rock.

"Who are we waiting for?" The girl asked, sitting down next to the boy.

"You know the answer to that."

She nodded but looked frightened. She shifted closer and leaned her head on the boy's shoulder. "I wont have to leave, will I?" she asked quietly.

"No... Not yet." He answered, patting her head again.

"Yet?" she asked fearfully.

"Not for a long time. Now shush! He's here."

Just as Kyarra was about to see who "he" was, she woke up, scared and confused just like the first day she came here.

Shaking her head, she got ready for school. Today was her first day at the academy after all, she had to be ready.

Something was weird though. For the first time, she didn't remember a single thing from her dream.

Kyarra didn't sleep again. How could she? Her thoughts were restless, so she wasn't even able to think straight. So, of course, like any other normal person, she jumped out the window.

She landed lightly on her feet, grinning to herself. The blonde crept away from the Hokage's residence and silently walked down the street. It wasn't the first time she'd snuck out of course. In fact, she was getting rather good at it. Practice makes perfect, right?

Looking at all of the houses with people sleeping in them, she wondered if maybe some of her friends lived in them. Since it was 1:15 in the morning, it was a nice time for a walk, wouldn't you agree?

She passed by the academy and remembered the training exercise she was to do with her teammates later.

"Oh and one more thing... I wouldn't have breakfast if I were you."

"Why not sensei?"

"Because if you do... you'll just throw it up again."

Kyarra smirked. She passed by a fruit stand and picked up two apples and dropped some change on the tiny counter. She kept walking down the street, eating the first apple, until she paused near the Ichiraku Ramen Shop. She didn't know how Naruto would survive the day without breakfast, seeing how much he liked food.

With that in mind, she dashed back to the fruit stand. She grabbed another apple and stuck it in her kunai pouch, leaving more change on the small pile she had already left. After returning to Ichiraku, the blonde looked around the small curtain to see an empty noodle shop. She would definitely have to come here with Naruto sometime.

Kyarra left the shop and continued walking through the leaf village. She could still see the Hokage's residence, towering above almost every other building in the village.

Soon, she saw the large Hyuga residence in the distance, and she thought about Neji. 'I just have to wait for the Chunin Selection Exams. That's when I can see him again.' She thought as she sped up to a jogging speed.

As she neared the large estate, she saw a light on in one of the second-storey windows. She smiled evilly to herself and sped up to a run, wanting to get there before whoever it is decides to turn off the light and go back to sleep. She knew it was the house Hinata lived in, since she had been there multiple times before.

'I guess I might get to see him even earlier! Anyways, if it's Hinata, I'll leave her be. If it's Neji, I'll scare the crap out of him!' She thought that over, '...If that's even possible. He's not really one to get scared.'

She was finally at the Hyuga's. Kyarra jumped from tree to tree, turning invisible halfway through the last jump,and flipped onto the balcony of the window with the light on. She peered inside to see Neji, laying on his bed with his eyes open at the corner of the room. He was wearing sweat pants... and no shirt.

'Oh Kami!' she thought to herself, clamping a hand over her mouth. She couldn't help but stare at him just a tiny bit. Seriously, it was a shirtless Neji! She would be fangirling right now, but she didn't want him to catch her just yet.

The one light in the room was turned on, sitting on a light-wood bedside table. It cast eerie shadows on the wall and floor. She smirked.

Tap tap tap!

Neji just rolled over onto his side, but he obviously heard the tapping on his window.

TAP TAP TAP!

She tapped harder each time, and smirked to see Neji slowly sitting up, dazed. He looked around the room, but jumped suddenly when her heard a loud banging sound coming from his window. He slowly inched backwards to the very corner of his room, leaning against the pale green wall.

SCREEEECH! She nearly had to cover her own ears at the noise the window made. Her fingernails were seriously not that long, it shouldn't havebeen that obnoxiously loud.

Damn obnoxious windows.

Neji jumped once again and scrambled out of bed, activating his Byakugan and almost tripping over the covers.

Kyarra couldn't take it anymore and she burst out laughing, doubling over. She looked up to see a shocked look on Neji's face, and she realized that while she was laughing, she couldn't hold her jutsu. She smiled and waved as he walked over to open the window, but her smile turned into a smirk as Neji's expression changed to a combination relief/anger/extreme annoyance.

Once open, the blonde jumped through the window and leaned against the wall as he just stared at her. "I scaaaaared yooooou!" She teased, poking him in the side of his head. His face flushed a light red and he looked down, mumbling a "No you didn't," also deactivating his Byakugan again.

Suddenly, she had disappeared and reappeared right in front of him, and he jumped back in surprise. He composed himself quickly. "You're very annoying, you know that?"

She looked hurt, and he almost apologized, until she grinned. "I only annoy the people I like. Just ask Sasuke!" She laughed lightly and Neji asked, "Who's Sasuke?".

Kyarra grinned wider and answered, "No one, just a damn, non-syllabic Uchiha!" she paused, "I also like to call him Prissy the Princess... not to his face, though... I only call him Princess to his face."

'Uchiha... Sasuke Uchiha must be the name of the last one then.' He thought. Then he suddenly remembered what time it was. "What the hell are you doing here at 1:30 in the morning?!" Neji asked her accusingly, though neither was sure what he was accusing her of...

Kyarra shrugged "I don't sleep almost at all. I saw a light over here and thought I would say hi!" then, she raised one eyebrow, "What are YOU doing awake at this time?"

Neji also shrugged, "Same as you, couldn't sleep. But I'm smart enough to actually stay in my house." He glared at her slightly as Kyarra took a step closer to him. She smiled sweetly, "But if I stayed home, I wouldn't be here with you now would I?" She brushed her hair out of her face and behind her ear, leaving one of the black streaks. Neji didn't exactly know how to respond to that.

"But if you want me to leave..." She looked at the window. "No!" Neji exclaimed then caught himself. "I mean... I... Well you can't sleep and I can't sleep, so we can just talk. I have nothing better to do anyways." He crossed his arms and walked to the bed while Kyarra smiled. The blonde followed him and sat down next to him, glancing at the door. Neji noticed her looking at it and he smirked.

"It's locked. No one but me ever comes here anyways." Kyarra nodded and looked around thoughtfully. Then, she looked back at Neji and started giggling. "Wha..." Neji began, until he realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt. He turned the exact color of a tomato and grabbed the sheets off the floor, covering his upper body with them.

"Gonna have to start sleeping with a shirt on..." Neji mumbled to himself, looking down.

'Aw!' Kyarra thought, pouting slightly. He noticed her disappointed look and blushed–if possible–darker, looking down to hide it.

"Who's squad are you in?" Kyarra finally asked. Neji just looked at her.

"But can't you... see? I mean... your eyes..." He trailed off, not really knowing how to ask. Kyarra shook her head. "Well, I can, but I'd rather ask the person themselves." She paused. "Oh yeah! I forgot, I promised you that I would explain everything the next time we met!"

"Thanks for training with me Neji! I'll explain everything next time we meet, I promise." She reached out and hugged him, then let go and took his hands in hers. She looked up into his eyes for a few seconds, then let go and turned back to Hinata, walking away from the brunet.

Kyarra went on to explain everything that she has remembered and everything else that has happened to her since coming to the Leaf. He seemed genuinely interested in her life, especially her eyes.

"How do they work? How much can you see?" He asked. By now it was about 2:00ish. She obviously had a lot to tell. Looking into his eyes, she squinted, "I'm not sure. And a lot."

Neji tilted his head slightly, obviously asking how much is a lot. She smiled. "Well... I can see your name, your skills, how sad you are about your father," His face fell and she felt bad. "But I can see that you're them most powerful in your clan!" he brightened as much as Neji was capable of brightening at that.

"Also, I can see you can't see with your Byakugan right..." she reached toward him and poked him in the back of the head, "Here. And you're pissed cause I know." she kept poking him, "Cause I have an even bigger advantage now."

"I could still beat you." he smirked, hitting her hand away.

"Yeah, uh-huh, cause that's totally what happened last time!"

"Well anyways, I'm in Guy's squad." he changed the subject, and she tilted her head like he did before, "Who else is in it?"

"Tenten and Rock Lee." he answered. "Tenten has dark-brown hair that always in a bun, and brown eyes, and she wears a pink shirt all the time. There's nothing special about her."

"And Lee?"

"He has black bowl-cut hair and black eyes. He wears a stupid green jumpsuit and has massive eyebrows. He's pretty fast, but he doesn't understand anything about life. He thinks he can beat me, when it's his destiny to lose." Neji finished his descriptions and crossed his arms again. Kyarra's eyes got wider with every word.

"Does Guy look like that too?"

"Yeah, why?"

"On my first day in the academy, they both ran up to the window yelling something about youth, then they hugged and a sunset and wave appeared, then they ran away." She explained, trying to keep a straight face.

Neji just sighed, "They'll do that."

Kyarra burst out laughing at that. "You have to be with them every day!" she teased, poking him again and still laughing.

"Shut up." the brunet growled, "And quit poking me!" She stopped laughing and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He fell backwards too, head landing on his pillow.

"Neji?" Kyarra asked, and he replied with a "Hm?"

"I'm glad I met you." she told him, eyes un-focusing.

"I think I'm glad I met you too." was all he said.

She sat up as she looked at the clock that magically appeared on the wall. She frowned. "3:30. Gotta go." she said, though she looked like she didn't want to leave.

Neji frowned too. "Why?"

"Survival."

"Got it." he nodded, understanding because he was a genin too.

"Talk to you soon? Please? I like hanging with you." She said it so pleadingly that Neji almost felt bad just for letting her go. Curse her ability to fuck with peoples emotions!

"Promise."

She hugged him before he could protest. Then, smiling, she ran to open the window. "Neji?"

"Yeah?"

All she did was look him up and down, smiling, and he realized, yet again, that he wasn't wearing a shirt.

After turning from him, she jumped out and off the balcony. Landing on a tree branch, she looked back to see the brunet still at his window. She waved and ran off to meet her teammates for their "Survival Exercise."

She touched the apple in her kunai pouch and smiled, thinking of how gullible her teammates are. 'Don't eat?' she snorted, 'Kyarra eats everything.' She giggled madly, spinning around in circles while she walked. She was very happy, high off of not getting any sleep.

'Now to do my job, I just hope what Kakashi has planned will work. I promised myself I wouldn't leave my friends.' She said to herself. A minute later, she was standing in a training area with Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke.

"Oh HAAIIIIII SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura yelled, running to hug the raven. "Oh haaaaai Sasuke-kun!" Kyarra mimicked quietly in a high-pitched voice to Naruto, and both blonds burst out laughing.

Sakura looked back at them, still hugging the raven, "What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing Sakura." She looked at Sasuke, waving, "Hey Princess!"

He glared at her and she walked up to him. "Stop calling me that!" He growled, pushing Sakura off of him lightly. Kyarra grinned, putting an arm around his shoulder, "You know you love it!"

"You are so annoying!" he scowled, crossing his arms.

Kyarra stopped smiling, taking her arm off his shoulder and going to sit down. 'Woah, Neji said that an hour ago. I never noticed, but they are so much alike! It's so weird!'

Sasuke looked at her curiously, wondering what she was thinking. Maybe he hurt her feelings by calling her annoying? No, that's not it. He called her annoying all the time, and she never seemed fazed by it before. 'She has a look in her eye... the same one that weird girl Hinata gets when she looks at Naruto.'

He watched as the black-streaked-blonde got a distant look in her eyes and sighed quietly and dreamily. She had a strange look on her face, and she didn't seem to be paying attention to anything but her thoughts.

Sasuke stepped back suddenly and Sakura looked at him like she wanted to hug him again. He walked away from the others and leaned against a tree. He felt a tiny pang of jealousy at what he thought next, but he figured it was just from hunger.

'She has feelings for someone.' He thought, 'For once, I can see into her eyes.'

Ennnnnnnndinnnnnng nooooooottteeeee!

LOL NOTEE^^^ ,',',' ~*~*~*~

I LOVE SASUKE NEJI AND GAARA! NOW I'M FANGIRLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON!

Enough of my various uses of punctuation, THIS CHAPTER WAS SO LONG... ISH! I read the entire Percy Jackson series in one of the weeks it took me to write it. Good times. I also read something in a science textbook about a "Hydra". Me and my friend got mad and yelled that a Hydra is a mythical Greek monster and not something that looks like a gold glowy thingy that you need a microscope to see. Hydras are HUGE! And have multiple heads!

OMIGAWD SHIRTLESS NEJI! *Drools* I was laughing like a maniac when I wrote that! And re-reading it, I was doing the same thing...

For some reason, I adored writing the pre-chapter thingy I do for this chapter. If you don't know who the boy was... no comment.

LOOOOVE YA!
