Akanishi-san5: Due to a technical difficulty, I couldn't get Neji up till now. Sorry guys! And I call this a Nejixoc fic…sheesh.. lol. Anyway, enjoy

"Good-Morning!" A voice called out in front of the Uchiha mansion. He waited a little more time, and banged on the door. "Hey! I said, GOOD MORNING!" He yelled on top of his lungs.

Izaki moaned as she rolled over her bed, bringing her sheets over her head. "Mmm…Sasuke-Oniichan…get that for me…" She then looked at the clock next to her and groaned. "6 in the morning!" She grumbled as she burrowed deeper into her covers. "I'm too tired to get up…"

Lazily and sleepily, Sasuke went to open the door, still sleepy. He was awake since 5:30 in the morning, but still, he wasn't really a morning person, and to top it off, since he was a Genin, there were no reasons for him to get up early because Kakashi was always late. He rubbed his eyes and as soon as he opened the door and saw who it was, he shut it close again with a loud bang, groaning, rubbing his eyes.

"WAAA!" Naruto yelled, as he banged onto the door repeatedly. "What did I do this time? Sasuke!" He yelled.

Sasuke opened the door, narrowly avoiding a punch from Naruto's fist that was banging on the door. "What do you want this early in the morning?" He demanded. He was completely awake now that he showed up. "It's…6 in the morning!" He checked his watch.

Naruto rubbed the back of his neck. "Heheh…Well I couldn't wait till 9…so I thought I'd pick her up!" He said sheepishly.

Sasuke made a face. "There are a lot of difference between 6 and 9, Dobe." He said. "Check your watch again, maybe it was just me, but last time I checked, it was 6 in the morning!"

"Who is it, Sasuke-Oniichan?" Izaki asked, up from her bed, rubbing her eyes as she came nearer. "Who in their right mind would come here this early? A mission?"

"Him." Sasuke said as matter-of-factly. He moved aside, to show Izaki Naruto.

Izaki looked at him, not really focused in the morning. "Oh…" She trailed off. A moment passed, and when she registered that it was Naruto who was there, she smiled innocently. "I didn't' mean that." She said hastily.

Sasuke shrugged. "You are right. This is Dobe's second time waking me up early in the morning in this month." He said.

"Twice?" She asked. "Oh well, I'll hear about this later. Naruto, come in, I'll make breakfast." She was awake now as well.

Sasuke said nothing but yawned as he too walked into his house, leaving the door open, admitting Naruto in.

"Yay!" Naruto cheered, as he bounced into the house, closing the door behind him. "Did I wake you two up?" He asked, but thought better on it when he earned two matching glares. "Ehehe…Did I ever tell you two that you guys act so similar?"

9:00 AM

"Neji!" A voice called the young Huuga over to the two.

Neji nodded a greeting to the two, as Izaki smiled back at him. "Hello, Neji-san!" She said, as she bowed.

Naruto laughed out loud as Izaki frowned for Neji did not reply. "Izaki-chan, he's just like that, so don't try talking to him." He told her. "After a while, he'll talk to you. It took me months for him to talk to me freely."

Neji shook his head, his lips in a small smile. "That was because you were a tad bit…no, very much annoying." He said.

"Hey!" Naruto pouted.

Izaki laughed. "Neji-san, that was the best!" She laughed. "Maybe we'll get along?" She asked.

Naruto pouted even more. "Humph." He crossed his arms, his cheeks puffed out. "What ever." He turned away from them, as he started to walk away. "I'm leaving."

Izaki smirked. "Oh so you don't want ramen for lunch?" She called over to him. She had heard from Sasuke his favorite food was ramen from Ichiraku. "We were, going to Ichiraku."

Naruto froze in his steps, and turned towards them, and instantly, he was standing next to them. "So, where to?" He asked cheerfully.

Izaki laughed as Neji rolled his eyes. Naruto acted very much like a dog. "I don't know, really, what else is around here?" She asked. "I went to…weapon shops and other shops…I also walked around, so I know this place as much as you do, now!"

"Hmm…" Naruto crossed his arms, thinking. "What else is around here?" He turned to Neji, who kept his neutral mask on.

Izaki thought on this, too. "Err…"

Naruto's face brightened. "I heard you are learning new jutsu from Lee and Gai!" He said. "How about…we teach you stuff, and in return, you teach us stuff too?" He asked.

Izaki smiled at his suggestion. "All right." She said, "But you teach me first." She grinned. "Girls first, first manner men should learn."

"Oh fine." Naruto said, crossing his arms, but turned and started to lead the other two to his training ground. Izaki bounded after him eagerly, but, Neji walked a little behind them, his neutral mask on.

Team 7 training grounds

"Wow, this place is different than the training grounds Lee-san had." Izaki said; as she looked around the training field they entered. There were 3 stumps instead of one this time, and they were next to the memorial.

Naruto nodded to her comment. "Yeah, this is usually used for when we were Genin. Well me, Sakura-chan and Sasuke. Neji here was on another team, he practiced with Lee."

Izaki noted that in her head, as she nodded. "So you were in the same team as Lee-san and Tenten?" She asked Neji, trying to spark up a conversation, to which ended when he just nodded in reply.

"So, what do you want to know?" Naruto asked Izaki, breaking the silence.

Izaki pushed her thoughts away about getting used to Neji, as she thought of what jutsu she wanted to learn. "Erm…what's your strongest attack?" She asked Naruto and Neji.

Neji replied first as Naruto thought on the question. "Mine are based on Huuga blood line technique, so you won't be able to copy any of it." He said rather harshly.

"Well I could try?" She offered, but Neji crossed his arms and looked away. 'I guess he doesn't trust me. Well, I understand I guess…' She thought. 'I wouldn't trust anyone that just popped out of no where.' She threw away those thoughts as Naruto spoke up finally; figuring out what was his best attack.

"I think mine is Rasengan." He concluded. "But you already know it. You copied it from me at that fight." He shrugged.

Izaki's face turned to confusion. "Rasengan?" She asked. "Isn't that the fourth's technique? I copied that!"

Neji and Naruto looked at Izaki, then to each other. "How did you know?" Naruto asked, turning back to Izaki with a frown.

Izaki thought on this. "I don't know." She confessed. "Really, I don't."

A moment passed, Neji walked over to Naruto, and whispered something to his ear. Naruto made a face, as he turned to Neji. "But Neji…" He stopped, for Neji walked away, not looking back.

Izaki frowned as Neji walked away. "Erm…" She said as she watched his back, walking away from her.

Naruto cut her off hastily. "He said he needed to do something, and he'll be gone for the rest of the day. He said sorry." He quickly said, trying to cover up.

Izaki smiled with a saddened face. She knew what Neji had said, and why he left. She had read his lips. "It's all right, Naruto. I know what he said. I wouldn't trust anyone that just came out of no where too, if I were him. And I too, will leave, and I too, wouldn't want to teach someone who might be a spy." She shrugged as if it meant nothing, but clearly, written on her face was disappointment and sadness. "That would just create a even more dangerous enemy if they knew your powers."

"Izaki-chan…" He trailed off. He didn't know what to say. He looked at her hopelessly. "I…"

Izaki waved him off. "I don't feel so well, Naruto. I'm going to go home." Without saying anything else, she walked away, trying to hide her emotions as best she could. Behind her, she felt Naruto watching her leave, cursing at Neji.

Later that day, during lunch time

Sasuke groaned as he walked inside his house, tired from his workout.

"Sasuke-Oniichan, welcome home." Izaki said, as she trotted over to the front door with the best grin she could come up with. She was still saddened about the incident that morning, but she wasn't going let Sasuke know. She didn't want him to worry.

Sasuke looked at her, confused. "Why are you back this early?" He asked. "Not that I don't want you here, but I thought Naruto and Neji was walking you today?" He stepped into the house, dropping a bag of training goods.

Izaki's eyes saddened, but came back with a smile that hid it. "Oh well I didn't feel good so I left early. Now I'm regretting it, because I feel better now." She smiled at him as Sasuke and Izaki walked down the hallway, towards the living room.

Sasuke frowned as he looked at her, and sighed. "Izaki…" He started, as he pushed her into a chair, standing in front of her. "Tell me what happened." He demanded. He had his hands onto his hips, glowering at her, looking like a very angry mother.

Izaki was surprised to hear that from Sasuke. "Huh?" She asked. "Nothing is wrong, Sasuke-oniichan." She said as she put all her emotions into it, hoping to fool Sasuke. "Everything is going fine." She grinned at him.

Sasuke looked at her, and shook his head. "All right, Izaki, either you tell me, or I will just march up to Naruto or Neji to tell me." He said dangerously. "And I will if you won't tell me."

"NO!" Izaki said a little too fast. Realizing her mistake, she clamped her mouth shut, looking away from Sasuke's eyes. "I mean…that would cause them too much trouble."

Sasuke sighed once more, scratching back of his head. "You know, sometimes I really wish Sharingan would show me people's feelings." He said. "It would make life much easier." With that, he started to walk over to the phone.

But before he reached it, Izaki was standing between him and the phone. "Sasuke-Oniichan!" She pleaded. "Really, it's all right."

Sasuke looked into Izaki's eyes, and found out who was making his sister unhappy. "Neji." He growled. "I should have known. Naruto wouldn't do anything, I think, so it has to be Neji. What did he say?" He demanded. "Tell me."

Izaki looked away. "Sasuke-Oniichan, he only said what was true." She said, looking at the floor now. "And what he said, I have to agree."

"Just tell me." Sasuke said, his voice demanding. "And I mean now."

Izaki looked up into his eyes, pushing one more pleading look, but looked away, feeling defeated. "Well…He just said that he didn't trust me." She then mumbled few other words that Sasuke could not hear what, but predicted what Neji had said to her.

"So he said you might be a spy?" He asked with a glare out the window, hoping Neji can feel it. "Neji will be soon dealt with, Izaki." He told her firmly. "He will not say anything like that ever again."

"Sasuke-Oniichan, please!" She pleaded. "I don't want to cause him trouble. I'm fine, and well, he's not the only one out there, so I'll be fine." She smiled at him, which earned her a frown from Sasuke. "Really, I mean, Naruto-san and you will be there for me, and what else can I ask?" She said.

Sasuke opened his mouth to reply, but a knock on the door stopped him. "Izaki?" He asked, meaning for her to get the door. "Will you?" He gestured towards the door.

"Nope." She said, crossing her arms, standing on her ground. "I will not move. Who knows what you will do while I go get the door, especially if you are going to go on the phone, and call certain somebody." She glared right into his eyes.

Sasuke sighed in defeat of his own, as he walked down to the main door, and opened it. "Yes?" He said, as he opened the door, and was met by a worried face of Naruto. "What do you want, Dobe." He said with an acidic tone. He was disappointed, for him not being able to protect her from Neji's words. "What do you want?"

"Erm…" Naruto scratched his head. "Is Izaki-chan all right?" He asked, looking at the ground shamefully. "I…err…" He trailed off, unable to say anything. He truly didn't want Sasuke to be angry at him, and he was really worried about Izaki. "I just wanted to know…"

Sasuke sighed again, as he looked at the hopeless Naruto. "She's fine." He said finally. He had to smile on the inside to see Naruto brighten a little. Sasuke could tell that Naruto really cared for Izaki. "Now, would you like to explain what happened thoroughly? Izaki only told me parts of it." He then walked down the hallway, leaving the door open, an invitation to Naruto to come in.

"All right." Naruto said, surprised that Sasuke wasn't mad at him for not being able to protect her. He slowly walked in, and went into the living room, where Izaki was cooking dinner. "Izaki-chan!"

"Hello!" She said cheerfully as she saw him enter as if nothing wrong happened. "How are you?"

"Hi." Naruto responded weakly. "Listen Izaki-chan…"

Izaki looked at Naruto, grinning. "Naruto, would you like shrimp or vegetarian ramen for dinner?" She asked him, with a grin that stopped Naruto from his question.

He was going to ask the question once more, but, seeing her grin made him stop. Naruto gave in, as he told her that he would like shrimp. He then turned to Sasuke, who was walking into his room, leaving his door open. Naruto groaned as he walked into Sasuke's room, hoping no yelling was in store for him. He should have known, Sasuke was not the type of person to let anything slide by as if nothing happened unlike his sister.
