Sibling love and care ahead XD

I'm a sucker for sibling sweetness :3

Without a second thought Neji swung open the restroom door and was immediately sprinting down the hall, and down the stairs skipping two to three steps at a time. He skidded to a halt in the opening to the dining area. There Hinata stood with a trembling hand covering her mouth as she was on the verge of tears. Her other arm was wrapped securely in front of Hanabi who held onto it for dear life with a face filled with shock and horror.

"What do you think it is nee chan?"

Hinata gently set the beautiful wrapped gift on the oak dining table. "I'm honestly not sure, I didn't even know we ordered a package?"

The younger Hyuuga approached the box and studied it for a moment before raising a brow and musing out loud, "a little early for Christmas, don't you think?"

Hinata couldn't agree more, the package was wrapped perfectly in silver paper with a glittering golden ribbon. The gift was so cliché it was even in a standard Christmas box where the lid could easily be removed, but it was a decent sized package with a considerable amount of weight.

"Well," Hanabi's voice brought her out of her thoughts, "no use in standing around and just starring at it, let's open it!"

Hinata stuck out a hand to stop her sister, but no words escaped her lips. She couldn't help admitting that her own curiosity was gnawing away at her in a way she'd never felt before, just what was in that box? Seeing as there were no objections to what she was about to do Hanabi quickly grabbed the lid of the package and lifted it above her head. She then peered inside excitedly only to go completely still.

Hinata swallowed as her sister's form went rigid, "Hanabi?" The girl didn't answer and for a moment mere silence passed between the two, it was only broken when the younger girl released the lid causing it to fall behind her with a muffled thunk as it struck the Persian rug beneath them. "Hanabi, what is it? What's wrong?"

With concern Hinata quickly approached her and lightly shook her shoulders. Hanabi's wide eyes slowly met hers. The fear her older sister saw in them caused a shiver to run down her spine like roaches. Hinata quickly turned and looked into the box only to freeze at the orange eyes that starred back at her. It was only a millisecond before she lurched back, quickly grabbing Hanabi and letting out a scream.

Present

Neji's breaths calmed down as he starred at his two shaken cousins. Hinata starred horrified at the open present that sat silently on the dining table.

He began to walk towards her and gently called, "Hinata..." Her head whipped quickly to look at him. Tears were streaming down her pretty face. He wrapped an arm around her, and wiped her tears while then soothingly rubbing Hanabi's head, "what is it? What's wrong?"

He didn't care if his voice sounded gentle and desperate, he had to know what caused them harm. Hinata did nothing more than hiccup and point to the box. His grey eyes went to the package then to her lavender ones for a mere moment before he slowly began to approach it. With careful steps he analyzed the box, then slowly peeked his head over the opening. Neji felt his heart beat faster as he swallowed thickly. His muscles tensed and flexed as he starred angrily at the "gift" inside. He knew that face, he knew those eyes, he knew that blood stained hair, Konan. The woman they were sent to find and capture. There her severed head sat in the large hollow box merely staring blankly up at nothing. 'That twisted...' Gritting his teeth, Neji was just about ready to go and call the others before something caught his sharp eyes. Something... Something was in Konan's mouth. With careful fingers Neji pried her mouth open and then quickly pulled out the wad of paper inside. He quickly unwrapped it, and other than the wrinkles and tiny spots of blood the writing inside was still legible.

Dearest Receiver of my Special Package,

I so hope you enjoy this lovely surprise, and am simply filled with utter excitement to see your face when you open this lovely gift. I worked so very hard to give this to you, and know you will give it much care. Although, I should warn you that after some time it may start to give off a…foul smell, but no worries! I can always give you a new one whenever you so desire! Trust me, I have a very abundant supply here in my abode… Anyways! I hope you love this as much as I do, and just remember to

STAY OUT OF CHINATOWN.

Sincerely,

Tenten Zhu

The fury, oh the fury burning deep within Neji Hyuga was boiling hot, and it was taking all of his self-control to not just go on a rampage in that very moment. Instead he let his mind conjure all of the most inhumane ways that he could torture and kill that wretched woman. Yet, before he could get too lost in his fantasies he suddenly caught something, '…am simply filled with utter excitement to see your face when you open this lovely gift.' Without a second thought Neji whipped his head to the window outside, and there she was. Her stature erect and her gaze cold and calculating as she watched him with an unnerving stare. Neither of them flinched or moved or let their glares waver in the slightest. Neji didn't even notice that she was holding something until she lifted it up to block his gaze from her face. It took him a moment to actually realize what it was, but once he did he couldn't even believe her audacity. A medium sized jar was held in her right hand, and inside was a uterus…Konan's uterus. Then, abruptly, she began to run.

Without a moment's hesitation Neji whipped around and was out the door. He heard Hinata yelling after him but he didn't stop, he couldn't. The cold fall air struck his bare torso in frigid lashes as his still damp hair slapped against his back and face in unforgiving strikes, but he didn't care. His body was hot with adrenalin, and his only focus was on the petite figure that was in front of him. She stopped for a moment to look behind her, and a noticeable look of shock lit her eyes before she quickly darted down a random street; shortly after Neji followed, but instead of seeing her, making her way down the road… there was nothing. She was gone. He breathed harshly, and looked around quickly attempting to pinpoint her, but no dice. He quickly whipped out his phone, and was about to call Gaara before a bullet shot it right out of his hand. To say he was surprised was an understatement.

He heard a distinct curse in the silence of the street, and began to whip his gaze around again while calling out, "come on Tenten! I know you're here!" He received no response, "come out here, now!" Still nothing, but after a moment more gunshots rang out, but each one easily missing him. She was trying to scare him off. He scanned the area again, "why don't you want us in Chinatown."

"Isn't it obvious?" He almost jumped at her voice. "I already told you, it's my territory. I'm being nice by giving you all a second chance to live considering you broke into my restaurant."

"So, you do know."

"Of course I fucking know!" She growled viciously to him, he'd never heard her so animalistic, or out of control. She took a minute to control herself. "This is my final warning to you all, stay out of Chinatown, or I will pluck each of you off this Earth. One. By. One."

"Considering you took my debt to collect…I make no promises."

8 Hours Later

"So why are we here again?" Naruto sucked childishly on the orange lollipop in his mouth.

"I refuse to run by it again."

There was a loud pop as the blonde boy released the sweet treat from his mouth. "Come on Neji just, seriously?! It's like we're looking for these two psychos! If you haven't realized it yet they're a bit on the demented side! We should be staying as far away from them as we can."

Sasuke's scoff could be heard from behind, "for once I actually agree with the dobe."Onyx eyes met pearl, "those girls are dangerous; without real reason we shouldn't be looking for trouble like this."

Neji sighed, "Considering Tenten outright not only threatened me, but my family I won't let this rest." At that very moment Gaara casually strolled form behind the decent sized building Shuriken lóng. "Did you disarm the alarm?" The red head merely nodded. "And a way in?"

Gaara signaled with his head for them to follow him.

They came to the side of the building and noticed a decent sized vent, yet a bit on the small side. Sharing a few glances all eyes soon landed on the loud blonde. Naruto took a moment to actually realize he was the one silently chosen to be the rat who would go in.

His cerulean eyes grew in panic as he immediately began to refuse, "NO WAY IN FUCKING HELL WILL YOU FUCKERS GET ME TO GO IN THERE!"

"Shhh! be quiet dobe! Now quit being a pussy and get in there."

"Hell no! Make Gaara go! He's just as big as me!"

"True." Naruto looked to Neji, "but he's already done his job for the night, now it's time for yours."

And with that there was no more argument. Soon enough the vent had been pried open and Naruto was softly grumbling to himself as he made his way through the chilly metal tunnel with a small flashlight in his mouth.

"Fuhcin ahholes mahkin meh ob aul peple do tis…"

and so continued his quiet rant.

Review please! criticism appreciated!
