"Regular speech"
'Inner thoughts' (sometimes sounds, like 'boom')
"Non-inner thoughts"
A/N: NejiTen will be the main focus of this chapter. This one's dedicated to tennisxdork and Quiet Moon, since they were the ones that wanted the Hyuuga family to be next on "Family Discussions". However, most people voted Uzumaki, so here's to them! When I wrote this, it reminded me a lot of "Anger Management". Warning: Language.
Sasuke and Sakura just arrived at school to see a mob of fangirls crowded around what seemed to be two people. They both stopped, lost in their thoughts.
"I wonder who that is…" Sakura said, half to herself and half to Sasuke, who shrugged in response. Imaginary light bulbs appeared no top of their heads, and Sakura snapped.
"It's Neji's/Hyuuga's birthday," they both said. Sasuke smirked.
"Hm? What's so good about that?" Sasuke turned to her and began to chuckle.
"It means no fangirls are after me for the whole day." Sakura's eyes widened.
"Pfft…you're so lucky….I feel so bad for Neji, though."
"Hn."
"Cold-hearted bastard."
Rewind: Neji and Tenten's walk to school…
"Ohayo, Neji-kun!" Tenten exclaimed as she walked out of her door. Neji gave a curt nod in to Tenten as they began walking. "Happy birthday!" she said happily, in a very good mood that day. She pulled out a present wrapped in silver paper. She scratched her head as Neji took it from her hands.
"Well, I wasn't really sure what to get you…Hopefully, you'll still like your present." Inwardly, Tenten was bashing Ino about a deal they all made.
Flashback
Tenten stared at the computer screen as she signed on. A chat invite popped up almost immediately.
WeaponsxMistress has entered the room.
PrincessIno: hey!
XxPinkxandxGreenxX: hi!
AnimalxLover: hello, tenten-chan
WeaponsxMistress: hey. what's up?
PrincessIno: nm, we were just talking about a bet
XxPinkxandxGreenxX: yes, and I can't believe I agreed…ugh
PrincessIno: hahahha, well we all have to do it, not just you
XxPinkxandxGreenxX: whatever, but I'm going to kill you, ino-pig, if hinata-chan faints!
AnimalxLover: don't worry about me, sakura-chan…
WeaponsxMistress: so what's the bet?
PrincessIno: muahaha, you have to give Neji a hand-made doll on his birthday. sadly, dear tenten-chan, you go first, then forehead, then me, and last hinata
WeaponsxMistress: all to Neji?
PrincessIno: xD no sakura's giving it to Uchiha and hinata to that idiot
XxPinkxandxGreenxX: and piggie's going with "Shika-kun"
WeaponsxMistress: argh, so I haveto agree?
PrincessIno: yesh, or face my wrath! I can to evil things, tenten…
XxPinkxandxGreenxX: she can, tenten, I'm warning you…you have no idea what happened in elementary. ne, hinata-chan, didn't she do anything drastic in middle school?
AnimalxLover: hai, she did….it was kinda scary, actually
WeaponsxMistress: O.O I agree…
PrincessIno: yay!
XxPinkxandxGreenxX: ino-pig, you have to do it, too…
The conversation went on with the girls basically chatting about random things afterwards.
End Flashback
As Neji unwrapped the gift, Tenten focused on her fidgeting fingers. When the gift was finally unwrapped, it showed a mini-Neji doll.
"G-gomen…hehe, pretty stupid huh? What guy still plays with dolls?" Tenten said, scratching the back of her head, trying not to cry. Neji smiled slightly, however.
"No, I think it's cute…"
"Eh?!" Tenten exclaimed, eyes wide.
"Thanks, Tenten."
"N-no problem." Neji stuck the doll into his bag.
"KYA!!!! NEJI-KUUUUUUN!" fangirls shouted as the two arrived at school. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!" Tenten's face adorned a dark scowl. This had to happen last year, too, and let's just say it didn't put Tenten in a positive situation.
Flashback
"OMIGOD! IT'S NEJI-KUN!!!!!!"
"NEJI-CHAN!" the female seniors of that year called. Neji sighed. He couldn't wait until next year, when he got rid of these fangirls. Alas, there would be another incoming grade. Tenten glared at the senior fangirls. For two months, two months, Tenten had been doing everything to get them to stop bothering her friend, Hyuuga Neji.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" The air was soon filled with the ear-splitting song of "Happy Birthday to You." Neji was not happy, and he began to scowl.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR, NEJI-KUUUUUUUN! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!" Tenten's glare intensified tenfold.
"Will you all just shut up?"
Later that week…
"Here you are, sir," a nurse said as she led Neji to a hospital room. He opened the door to find a scowling Tenten, trying to draw something on a red Etch-a-Sketch board. She looked to see who was visiting before turning her head back to the board.
"Hey, Tenten," Neji said.
"Hello," Tenten replied curtly, not taking her eyes off the board.
"Sorry you ended up here…" Tenten smiled a bit and turned to Neji.
"It's not really your fault, so don't worry. How have you been doing with your fangirls?"
"In my case or in their case?" Tenten giggled lightly.
"Both." Neji scowled this time.
"It's just wonderful for them. Just imagine how it is for me…" and the two ended up laughing most of the hospital visit before a nurse had to come by and pull Neji out of the room.
"Your visiting time is over."
"Aa. Ja!"
"Ja ne, Neji!"
End flashback
Okay, it didn't turn out as bad as it seemed, but Tenten still ended up in the hospital. It was extremely hard for her to make up an excuse to her mother about what happened, but Tenten managed to recover in the following days.
Once again, the screechy voices filled the air with the birthday song that Tenten dreaded oh so much. She glanced at Neji, who had a scowl on his face as well. This wasn't the ideal position to be in: surrounded by screaming fangirls.
Neji managed to catch a glimpse of the younger Uchiha and Sakura walking to school when they stopped and stared their way.
"Maybe they'll help us?" He then saw Sasuke start chuckling before the two went off, into the school and their classroom. "Dammit. I thought they'd help, considering Sakura was there…"
Tenten was thinking almost the exact same thing as Neji. "I'm gonna get that Sakura…..I thought she'd help…" Both were about to start bashing the two in their minds when they saw Sakura dragging a reluctant Sasuke toward the fangirls. Uchiha Sasuke was going to risk his fangirl-free day!?
Sakura, not thinking much of the fangirls, just dove in and grabbed Tenten out. Now for Neji…how were they going to get them to notice Sasuke? Like she was answering Sakura's question, a fangirl pointed at Sasuke, who stared at them with wide eyes. Sakura had just dragged him into hell again.
"Hey! It's Sasuke-kun!" the girl cried. Everyone turned to him and rushed over, leaving Tenten, Sakura, and Neji with each other.
"Tenten, Neji, go into your classroom before they find you and start stalking Neji. They'll realize their 'Neji-kun' needs more attention on his birthday," Sakura whispered, ushering the two towards the door. "I'll take care of this."
Moments later, when Neji and Tenten already reached the second floor's hallways, they heard Sakura call, "Hey? Shouldn't Neji-kun get more attention?! It's his birthday!!!" Tenten burst out laughing and Neji smirked. The fangirls immediately retreated from Sasuke and spread out on campus to look for "Neji-kun".
They saw Sakura drag Sasuke in, seeming to give him an apologetic look and saying, "Gomen," several times. Finally Sasuke sighed and excepted her apology, and the two headed to their classroom. Neji and Tenten began to walk a little down the hallway and enter the classroom.
"Happy birthday, Neji-kun!" the fangirls from class 2-1 cried when Neji walked in with Tenten. They gave her a glare, which she, quite happily, returned. Neji sighed. This was going to be hell…
"Uchiha, you are so lucky your birthday is after the school year."
One fangirl stepped up first and gave Neji a heart shaped box. "AISHITERU, NEJI-KUN!" The two friends were trying to make their way to their seats without Neji having to grab any heart shaped presents. Tenten tried to glare and scare them off, but this method failed miserably.
Then, Neji tried to glare. This method failed even more miserably.
"KYA! NEJI-KUN'S LOOKING AT ME!" a girl exclaimed. Everyone sane in the classroom sweat dropped, but all the other fangirls glared.
"NO! HE WAS LOOKING AT ME!"
"NO! IT WAS ME!"
"YOU IDIOTS, IT WAS ME!"
"ME!"
"SHUT UP! YOU ALL KNOW NEJI-KUN LOVES ME!"
"C'YA RIGHT! YOU'RE SUCH A FUGLY BITCH!"
"EXCUSE ME?! WHAT ABOUT YOU!"
'SLAP' Catfight! The method didn't fail as miserably as expected, because in the end, it managed to get the fangirls distracted. Gai waltzed into the room soon after.
"OHAYO, CLASS! WE WILL BE DOING ATTENDANCE NOW! TAKE YOUR YOUTHFUL SEATS!" Gai exclaimed, pulling out the black attendance book and a red pen from his drawer. He went through the names, and Tenten noticed a piece of folded loose-leaf land on her desk. She opened it up and read it:
Dear Ten-Bitch:
Get away from Neji. We all know you're a fucking ugly bitch. You look like you have dog shit on your head all the time, and you think you're better than us. Well, you're wrong.
Yamada Hanako
President of the Hyuuga Neji Fanclub
Tenten glared at Hanako, who was sitting to the right of her. Hanako was actually a very pretty girl, though a bit shorter than average. If you didn't know her well, you'd think she was an innocent girl, for she wore her blonde hair in two low pigtails with red ribbons. After seeing the mischievous glints in her purple eyes and receiving evil smirks from her, you would probably figure out she was indeed a very evil girl.
She was so evil towards her "minions" that if you compared how she acted with the Neji fangirls to how Mitsuki acted with the Sasuke fangirls, Mitsuki would look like an angel. Of course, most of the normal teachers didn't really know Hanako personally, and just thought she was a sweetheart. However, few of the staff, including Shizune and Tsunade, knew she was behind many of the intolerable rumors that spread.
Hanako smirked triumphantly, happy that she was able to anger the girl before her.
"Tenten, Tenten. Is Tenten here?" Gai called out to the class, looking for one of his favorite, hardworking students.
"Hai, Gai-sensei," Tenten said halfheartedly, holding her head down to the desk soon after. Gai gave her a quick "nice guy" pose to try to cheer her up, not wanting to speak to make her feel worse. A small smile tugged on the brunettes lips as Gai continued with attendance.
Though Gai was satisfied with the half-smiling Tenten, the Hyuuga present in the room was not. He noticed Tenten glare at Hanako, the president of his fanclub, before slumping into her chair in a slightly worse mood. He furrowed his eyebrows. What could be bothering her? He knew that it had something to do with the fangirls…
"Yosh! It is wonderful to know that everyone in this youthful class is here. Until the bell rings, you can do some youthful socializing," Gai announced in a softer voice than his usual one, much to everyone's relief. However, the soft aura was broken when the fangirls, once again, began to break out into song.
Some of them were good singers, actually. Neji had heard them in music, but right now, it seemed they were all singing-no screaming-in grating voices that could break glass. As a matter of fact, it did break glass. The singing began to break a window, and Gai had to scratch the chalkboard, making a rasping noise, to get the girls to shut up.
'Bring' Everyone rushed to their individual lockers, which were in the back of the room, to get their things. When Tenten reached her locker, which was below Neji's, Neji opened his locker and candies, chocolates, watches, and presents of all sorts cascaded out, causing Tenten to be buried under them all.
"Tenten!" Gai saw this as everyone left the classroom and quickly wrote a note.
"Neji, what's your first period?"
"Math with Kakashi-sensei," Neji replied, trying to pull Tenten out of the pile of presents.
"Oww…" Tenten whined, rubbing her head, which took most of the impact.
"Sorry, Tenten," Neji said, trying to stuff the gifts back into his locker. Tenten flashed him a bright smile before collecting her books.
"No, no, it's no problem," Tenten replied as Gai tore a note off of his notepad, giving it to them so they wouldn't be blamed for being late. "Arigatou." Gai grinned with his oh-so-shiny-teeth.
"Yosh! Now get to your youthful class with the un-youthful Hatake Kakashi!" The two students sweat dropped before scurrying out of the room to class.
Lunch…
"So, Hyuuga, how is fangirl hell so far?" Sasuke asked, smirking. "You owe me for this morning."
"Hn," Neji replied in an agitated tone, not bothering to look at the all too annoying Uchiha.
"How's your day been, Tenten?" Ino asked the bun-haired girl.
As a response, she got a glare. Ino raised an eyebrow. "Hanako's getting to you, isn't she?" Tenten just glared again, but a curt nod was given as well. Ino smiled. "Than stay strong…like forehead-girl…"
"Ino-pig, you're calling me strong when I used to be a 'blossoming bud'!" Sakura said, face flushed from her best friend's unusual and rare compliment. If you couldn't find a flaw in somebody, Ino could. Ino laughed.
"No, no, forehead. You're a flower now!" Ino said, nodding her head up and down. Tenten stared at Sakura, admiring her pink haired friend.
"If only I was more like you…"
"Ne, Neji, is it your seventeenth birthday?" Naruto asked. Neji shook his head, which caused confused expressions to appear on everyone's face, except Neji, Hinata, and Tenten.
"I'm actually sixteen today," Neji replied.
"But, you guys are second years, right? Shouldn't you be turning seventeen? Does that mean Tenten's sixteen, too?" Sakura asked, knowing Tenten's birthday was during spring break, the interval between the end of one school year to the start of another.
"Hai," Tenten replied. "When me and Neji-kun were smaller, we skipped a grade together. Ever since, we've been in a grade higher…"
"Oh…" Ino said. "If only you guys were in our class it would be so much more-"
"Troublesome," Shikamaru finished, though it wasn't the ideal answer for Ino. She bonked him on the head.
"I was going to say fun, not troublesome!" They sweat dropped.
"Shikamaru-san, I really think that you need to drop this troublesome habit…I might have to tell Tsunade-shishou about this…" Sakura put in. "You could be in a state of very bad depression." More sweat drops and a glare from Shikamaru.
"Too much of a troublesome habit to break anymore, Sakura," Shikamaru stated. Sakura pouted.
"Ya see? You might be in depression, being the type of pessimist you are…"
"Ne, ne, Neji, you having a party?!" Naruto exclaimed, curiosity getting the best of him. Neji sighed.
However, it was Hinata who answered for him. "Hai, Neji-niisan is having a party, though it will be held in the main house's mansion…" Hinata trailed off in the end, not wanting to anger Neji by reminding him the tragic fate the branch family used to hold. Neji sighed again.
"It's okay, Hinata-san," Neji said, "I don't exactly hold a grudge anymore."
"Wait, so its at Hinata-chan's house?! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed.
Sakura smiled warmly. "I'll be sure to bring my present over then…What time? And why in the main household and not the branch?"
"The fangirls might try and track me, but not Hinata-san," Neji said, "And come by at four thirty…You guys can stay until ten thirty, but I don't want Hinata-san's little sister to not get enough sleep by Naruto's loudness. Not to mention Lee's coming…" Neji replied. At the statement, Naruto scowled while Sasuke, unnoticed by the others, narrowed his eyes a bit at the name of one of Sakura's prominent, if not the most prominent, fanboy in the school. Apparently, Shikamaru still saw the act and grinned sleepily. "And you don't really need to dress formally…Now, would you excuse me."
Neji got up from the grass and left, heading towards the little boys' room. However, when he entered the empty halls, he actually found them to be not so empty anymore.
"Hello, Neji-kun," Hanako purred, giving him a smirk that was supposedly sexy. He cringed. She began to walk over to him in a "seductive" manner before pushing him into a classroom. He narrowed his eyes.
"What do you want?" he hissed. She smirked again.
"Just want to deliver you a special birthday present," she said.
"What might that be?" Neji said, backing up a bit, trying to escape this evil room. However, he became trapped leaning on a desk.
Hanako grinned sweetly. "Me," she said, pointing to herself, leaning so that Neji was forced to look down her shirt. "Like what you-"
"Neji!" a voice shouted, slamming the door open. The person's eyes widened and she scowled. Neji thought she was going to misunderstand and get everything mixed up.
"Tenten. I-"
"Fuck you, Hanako! You bitch! How could you do this to Neji?!" Hanako shrugged.
"Simple: I want Neji-kun for myself," Hanako said, twirling a strand of blonde hair.
"You're disgusting!" Tenten snarled. "I don't even see Mitsuki stooping as low as you!" Hanako just grinned, aggravating the bun-haired girl even more.
"Ah, Uchiha Sasuke is actually my next target," she stated, purple eyes glinting. "Maybe I'll go for him if you leave Neji-kun with me. It's his birthday present from me, after all."
"Is this what you did when you were in your old school, Yamada?!" Tenten exclaimed, referring to how Hanako transferred the year before during the second term. "Play around with boys and sleeping with them for fun?"
"Pretty much." Just then, scraping noises of shoes were heard. Everyone else had arrived.
"Tenten, what happen-" Sakura started before seeing Hanako and narrowing her eyes. "Yamada."
"Ah! The famous Haruno Sakura, I see. I'm flattered you know who I am…Don't worry, I won't forget to snatch Sasuke-kun, too." Sasuke had to suppress a flinch. This was a complete playgirl and slut. Worse than Mitsuki could ever be. Sakura growled and clenched her fists.
"What the fuck is your problem?!" Ino yelled loudly.
"My, my, what colorful language you have," Hanako said, trying to provoke the others. Even dear Hinata-chan was glaring, becoming much more vicious than before.
"Yamada Hanako, get the fuck away from my cousin. Now," Hinata stated, firm and angry as ever. Both parties had to glance at her with a look of shock, before seeing the dark aura that was forming around her.
'Bring' Hinata gave Hanako one last glare. "You're so lucky the bell rang, you piece of shit," Hinata said. "But that doesn't mean you're safe." With that, Hinata delivered a well aimed punch in the gut before they rushed out of the room, leaving Hanako clutching her stomach in pain.
On the way to the Hyuuga mansion…
"What the hell is that bitch's fucking problem?!" Hinata yelled, completely going insane from before. She wanted to explode before they got there, so she could refrain from using such harsh and rude language at the mansion.
"Hinata, calm down," Tenten said. "We'll talk about it when the others come."
"Hinata-san, I'm okay. Don't worry, and please do not use such language. Hiashi-sama may become angry at me," Neji put in, already out of his state of shock and just trying to formulate plans to get away from this evil fangirl of his.
"H-hai…" Hinata said reluctantly, not wanting to get her cousin in trouble on his birthday.
"Let's just enjoy the time today," Tenten said, ringing the doorbell. 'Ding dong' 'Ding dong' A maid opened the door, smiling.
"Hello, Hinata-sama, Tenten-san," the maid said to the two ladies. She moved her gaze to Neji, smiling a very bright smile. "Happy birthday, Neji-sama."
"Thank you," Neji replied politely as the three stepped in. "If my friends come, will you please tell them we're in the living room?"
"Of co-" 'Ding dong' 'Ding dong' "Hello!" Sasuke stood at the doorway calmly, holding a small present. Sakura was behind in moments, panting heavily with a present as well. Sasuke smirked.
"I told you not to race me," Sasuke said. Sakura glared.
"Hn!" Sasuke's smirk widened.
"Look who's complaining about my 'hn's and 'aa's," Sasuke said, turning to the other three and the maid.
"Chicken butt," Sakura growled, stepping in after Sasuke. "So, Neji, are you okay?" she asked, suddenly changing her mood. He nodded. "Good. If you need any psychology, just go to Tsunade-shishou. Maybe you can go with Shikamaru one day. Here's your present." Sakura handed him her gift, which he opened. He found a book titled The Truth About Fate. He smirked slightly and Hinata began to giggle after looking at the title. Neji showed it to Tenten, who burst out laughing.
"How'd you know Neji is all 'fate controls everything'?" Tenten asked. Sakura grinned.
"I have my sources." Neji nodded and turned to Sasuke, giving him an expectant look. Sasuke handed him the box, and inside was a video game titled Choosing Fate. Neji raised an eyebrow.
"I haven't seen this game before…" Sasuke smirked.
"Read the copyright." Neji glanced at the small text.
Copyright of Uchiha Inc. Neji scowled. "So that's how it is, eh, Uchiha?" Sasuke shrugged.
"It's an RPG, where you can actually choose your fate."
"I believe fate is already decided," Neji said, scowling. Sasuke smirked.
"That's why I got you this: to tick you off."
"Hn." 'Ding dong' The maid opened the door and in came Naruto, Shikamaru, and Ino jumping in.
"Happy birthday, Neji!" the two blondes chorused while Shikamaru walked past them, muttering, "Troublesome idiots." Shikamaru handed a book to Neji, which when he turned over was titled 101 Strategies on How to Win Shougi. Neji raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't this what you gave Sakura on her birthday?" Neji asked, showing Sakura the book.
"Yea! It's the exact same one…" Shikamaru sighed.
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice, but it was too troublesome to pick something else out." The others sweat dropped.
"You really need to see Tsunade-shishou, Shikamaru," Sakura commented.
"Now my present!" Ino exclaimed, giving Neji her wrapped gift. He opened it to find a box full of hair ribbons, causing veins to pop on his head.
"Ino…they're hair ribbons."
"Exactly," Ino said, nodding. "It would fit nicely with your hair." Everyone was trying to imagine this and they burst out laughing, for exception of Ino and Neji. "I'm actually serious…" Everyone stopped laughing. Was this also part of the joke. Apparently not, since Ino didn't say anything afterwards.
Next, Naruto handed Neji his gift. "I hope you like it, dattebayo!" Neji opened it to find black boxers covered in ramen. His eye involuntarily twitched. "Ne, ne, how do you like it?" Once again, there were bursts of laughter, but Neji brushed them aside, taking the three presents.
"So what do we do now?" Tenten asked. She received shrugs from the others before she grabbed the game Sasuke gave Neji. Tenten began to scan the cover. "Hey, Sasuke, is it multiplayer by any chance?"
"Aa," Sasuke replied, giving a curt nod.
"Okay, then! We can play this!"
Two hours later…
"I see you actually like the game, Hyuuga, considering the time we've been playing this…" Sasuke said, looking at Neji, who had his eyes glued to the screen, only taking them off to glare.
"Neji-sama, we're ready to eat dinner," a maid said as she entered the room. "And I think having your eyes so close to the screen is bad for your eyesight, Neji-sama." Neji sighed and quickly saved the game, shutting the television off.
"Ne, ne, Ino, Tenten, Hinata-chyaaan, Sakura-chyaaan! Wake up! Rise and shine! Time for dinner!" Naruto exclaimed. The four girls had fallen asleep as soon as Neji began to get addicted, having no chance to play. "You, too, lazy ass!" Shikamaru had fallen asleep right after he plopped himself onto the couch. All five sat up abruptly, rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.
Everyone walked to the dining room. It had a marble floor and a beautiful, mahogany table which was covered in white. For that day, Neji was sitting at the head. The others took their seats as a feast was brought before them.
"Itadakimasu!" they exclaimed before they began to eat. Light chat flew across the table, commenting how nicely the food was cooked.
"If only there was miso ramen…" Naruto added. A cook heard this.
"Would you like me to make some, sir?" the cook said.
"Really?! Could you do that for me?!" Naruto exclaimed. The cook gave a weary smile and nodded. "Thank you!!!" With that, the old cook walked off, his voice being heard calling out to get the ingredients. Everyone sighed.
"Naruto, don't you have enough manners to appreciate what you have?" Sakura said, bonking him on the head, since he was on her right.
"Sakura-chyaaan…but you know how much I like ramen!" Naruto said, tears streaming down his eyes.
"Well you know what?" Sakura asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "One day, you're going to die from ramen overdose." As she finished, a small smile began to grace her lips.
Of course, this seemed, and was, ridiculous, but Naruto decided to believe Sakura's joke. "Ah!!!! I'm going to die?!" Naruto exclaimed. Everyone sweat dropped. Sakura was ready to scold him and say it was just a joke, but he forgot as soon as the miso ramen landed in front of him.
Naruto's blue eyes began to gleam and his mouth watered. He took his chopsticks and began to slurp and swallow. "This is delicious!"
"Thank you, sir," the old cook said, bowing and smiling. After everyone was finished with dinner, and several bowls of ramen in Naruto's case, the cook brought out a cake decorated with white, vanilla frosting. In dark blue frosting, it read: Happy Birthday, Neji! The candles were lit, and however childish it seemed, everyone began to sing.
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Nejiiii. Happy birthday to youuuuu!" everyone sang, or mumbled in the case of Sasuke, who just refused to use his voice to sing such a silly song. Neji blew out the candles and made a wish.
"I hope it really does come true…" He than cut the cake, and everyone got a piece, him getting the first. However, he decided to give it to Tenten.
"No, no, you should have the first piece!" Tenten said.
"It's okay. You can have it. Anyway, cake isn't my favorite thing in the world."
"Arigatou," Tenten said as she took the cake from Neji. Everyone settled down to eat cake, for exception of Sasuke, who claimed he didn't like sweets. After eating, they all said their good-byes, leaving the house. Hinata stayed in the mansion, being the one who lived there.
At Neji's home…
Neji pulled out the doll Tenten made of him. He set it at his bedside and climbed into his bed. Closing his eyes, his last thoughts were to his wish.
"I wish that I will always be able to protect Tenten…" With that last thought, Hyuuga Neji fell asleep.
Next Chapter Preview: The Studying! The Finals! Meet My Study Buddy!
Sakura turned to Sasuke. "Sasuke-sensei, please! Help me study!" Sasuke raised and eyebrow.
"Which subject?"
"Urm…all of them?" Sasuke shot her an incredulous look. Sakura wasn't that stupid. Hell, she wasn't even stupid. So why did she need help studying?
