Is this a long enough chapter or should it be longer? Anyways thanks to all reviewers and readers, hope you like the chapter!

Morning dawns on the day before the dance, and an alarm rings at a certain house near the center of Konoha. A loud yawn follows, then a certain blonde boy jumps out of bed, screaming "WHERE AM I? THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE, I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED!"
"Er...Naruto-kun...I think you're overreacting again, this is our house remember?" Hinata is standing just outside his door, not looking in (ninjas are fast after all).
"Eh...Hinata-chan...why are you in my house?"
Oh man, has he gone dumb again... thinks Hinata.
"Didn't you just say this wasn't your house?" Neji had just come along to see what the fuss was all about.
"OH YEAH, WHERE THE HELL AM I?" Naruto screams again.
Neji sighs, shaking his head. "Naruto, I might admire you in some ways, but sometimes you are the most stupid baka I have ever encountered."
"YOU CALL ME STUPID, I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!"
"Naruto-kun, we're sharing a house now, just try to be civil at least alright? Oh and by the way I think we're disturbing our neighbours, who are, in case you forgot, the whole of the Hyuuga clan..."
That shut Naruto up. He scratches his head "Oh yeah, I think I remember moving now..."
Neji smirks "That's good. Now if you'll excuse us, Hinata-chan and I were spending some quality breakfast time together..." He takes Hinata's hand.
"Hey, why are you holding Hinata's hand?" Naruto shouts (not too loudly this time though).
"I'm her cousin, dumbass, besides if you want to take my place so much why don't you hurry up and get dressed, we were already eating."
Naruto looks down at himself, realizing he was still in his blue pajamas and nightcap. Then before you could say "Hinata is just outside the door" he had flown (literally) into his cupboard, flown back out with his orange suit and changed into it in a matter of seconds (lucky Hinata never looked in – too shy of course). Forehead protector on and he was all ready.
"Excuse me Neji, but I believe you are holding my girlfriend's hand..."
He takes Hinata's other hand, and they proceed as a three. Unfortunately the stairs down to the kitchen are too narrow, and Neji has to let go; Naruto, being a dumbass as usual, nearly threw Hinata over the railings as he tried to go down the stairs still holding her hand.
"Gomene Hinata-chan, I didn't see that the stairs were so narrow."
"It's alright, Naruto-kun, I'm not hurt."
"Really so quick witted this kid is" Neji says under his breath, he doesn't want to make Naruto shout out and wake the neighbours either.
They have breakfast consisting of cereal, milk, orange juice all provided by the Hyuuga catering service – they are the noble family of Konoha after all. And instant ramen for Naruto (surprise surprise).
Again Naruto is chatting with his mouth full but though Hinata doesn't mind Neji has no such affection for Naruto, and ignores him, choosing to have a quiet chat with Hinata instead (so she has to listen to two people at once, luckily Naruto isn't saying anything important anyway).
As they are finishing up (and arguing who should do the washing etc.) there is a loud knock on the door. Neji answers it (hoping its Tenten again obviously), however he is disappointed, it is Sakura in a green one piece clothing that looks suspiciously like Lee's training costume.
"Sakura isn't it? You're looking for Naruto I suppose?"
"Him, and you as well. Um...I don't think he told you that his leg got better...?
"Lee-chan? I thought his leg was irreparable! That's great!" For once Neji smiles.
"If you want to know how it happened, just ask your cousin, she healed Lee."
"Hinata's that powerful? I knew she was a medic but I didn't know she was that skilled...I guess I underestimated her..."
"Anyways Lee's gone over to tell Gai-sensei the news, he forgot yesterday since...well...he was kinda hanging around me, if you know what I mean. So I guess you don't have to worry about missions or training much, they'll be hugging and crying for at least two hours yet. So where's Naruto?"
"Oy, Naruto! Sakura's looking for you."
Naruto appears with mouth still stuffed with the last bits of ramen.
"Mmph...Shrakra-sharn, ot arr u oing ere?"
Sakura slaps him. "Finish you're food before talking idiot. We've got a mission in ten minutes so hurry up, meet at the bridge as soon as you're ready."
Naruto swallows his food. "Alright, I'm ready, sayonala Hinata-chan, Neji-san!"
They rush off. Neji returns to the kitchen to find that Hinata has already finished the washing.
"Stupid Naruto, he ran off and let you do everything!"
"He was in a hurry, Neji nii-chan, besides he'd probably just break the bowls."
"Hinata onee-chan, you are much more confident than before. Idiot though he is, Naruto does bring out the best in people sometimes. Well, since we both seem to have some free time, why don't I teach you a new jutsu?"
"Thanks, that would be really great, what are you going to teach me?"
"Kaiten." Neji states simply. "Let's go to the training room."
Neji and Hinata are standing facing each other in a large room. On either side of them are two racks filled with shurikens, katanas, and many other weapons (courtesy of Tenten). The floor is padded with a soft thick material ideal for breaking falls.
Neji speaks first "Alright Hinata-chan, let me show you a Kaiten first so that you know what you're aiming for. Watch carefully."
Blue spots of chakra the size of ping pong balls appear around his body. He spins around, and the chakra spins around with him, creating a big blue shell that surrounds him about a metre away from his body. This lasts for about two seconds, then Neji is standing in the same position again.
"Learning this jutsu requires two steps: First controlling and maintaining a large amount of chakra outside the body, secondly being able to hold the chakra there while spinning. We'll work on the first step only today. Only Byakugan users can pass this first step, as you'll see why in a moment."
"Hai, I'm ready, nii-chan" Hinata replies.
"First activate your Byakugan." They both do so, veins popping out of the side of their heads as they use the Hyuuga bloodline limit.
"Now you see that tenketsu on you're arm just there?" He points at it and Hinata nods. "Incidentally the first one I hit when I was fighting you, but that's not important. That tenketsu is one of the stronger ones, one of the ones with more chakra channels running through it. I want you to focus your chakra on that tenketsu only, try to focus as much of it as you can there."
Hinata does so, and soon they can see the tenketsu glowing blue, more clearly than any of the others.
"Now push the chakra out, as much of it as you can. Direct it out of your body, force it to go there and push it away as far as you can. By the way, non Byakugan users cannot do this as they are unable to see tenketsus and thus do not know where to focus and let out their chakra."
Hinata concentrates on it for a long time, finally a small, barely visible dot of blue can be seen about a centimetre above her skin.
"Not bad, not bad at all for a first try. Keep on practising that, try to gather more chakra and push it further away from the body, and try opening up other tenketsus around the body as well, just as extra advice, try doing the ones around the arms first as they are the easiest."
"Hai, Neji nii-san, I'll practise this often, I promise I'll be a good student!"
"Alright, I'm gonna go find Lee now, possibly Tenten as well, keep up the practising."
Neji leaves and Hinata keeps on practising. She pushes herself hard, strains to become stronger. At the end of four hours she is exhausted, having used up almost all her chakra, but she is fairly satisfied. She is able to open up sixty tenketsus, and from each one she can push out and area of chakra about the size of a watermelon seed, at around 10cm away from her skin.
"I need a rest, I'll continue this later" she thinks, "I know, I'll go to the ramen stand, I'll continue after a meal."
