: DAY ONE :
"Neji?" Aki knocked on his door. She tried the doorknob. When she entered, she found Neji sitting on his bed, staring blankly into space. His room had a very dark feeling. It felt as if it had been shut a long time. It had a strong musty smell. "How can you stand it in here?" Aki went over to the window and opened it, her actions closely tailed by Neji's watchful eye.
"Guess what?" Aki sat on Neji's desk chair, clearly making herself comfortable, "I'm a Hyuuga! I'm related to YOU!" She smiled as Neji's expression changed from seriousness to a swear dropped face.
"Aw. I'm not THAT bad." She started rocking back and forth on her chair, "I came here to say sorry about what I said earlier. I'm sorry if it made you feel bad, I didn't know he was your father. He seemed like a nice guy from Hiashi's stories. I lost my father too; actually I'm not sure what happened to him. I know my mom died after I was born but I don't know what happened to my dad." Neji's ears perked up for this, his mom had also passed away when he was born. "Well, Hiashi told me to move into the room next to you, you can talk to me whenever you want." As she left Neji heard her mumble a few words, "I doubt you will anyway."
Neji heard her close the door of his room. He continued looking into space. He hadn't blinked for a while and his eyes really started to burn. Neji reached for his forehead protector and undid it. She doesn't know. Doesn't know what its like to be me. Neji flopped down on his bed to think.
Aki opened the door next to Neji's room. I don't know? I'm not sure what he means, but I know that I have been through a lot. Aki sat down on her new bed. Her room was pretty plain but it was better than her cell. She picked up her dusty covers and thought of remodeling her room. She stood up and absentmindedly started dusting off some of the things inside. The room wasn't entered in over nine years, everything had at least one layer of dust. Aki stepped on some broken glass and winced in pain. She had stepped on a broken clock, with by the looks of it, was thrown at the wall. She picked it up and placed it in the wastebasket. By the time she was finished the room was crystal clean. Then there was a knock.
"Aki?" It was Hiashi, he had come to say hello, he peeked through the crack in the door, "Wow, you're fast at cleaning. Well, I just came to drop some yen (AN: I don't know if they use yen in konoha, but let's just call it yen.) along so you could fix up this room." He held up 10 different priced yen bills, adding up to ¥1 000 000.
"Wow, isn't that a lot?"
"Nonsense! Afterwards, feel free to buy yourself a kimono and some new clothes. There is a festival at the end of the week. I would appreciate it if you brought Neji with you." He smiled, "He's should be like a brother to you." He left the money on her dresser and left the room. Aki gazed up to her dresser and smiled.
: DAY TWO :
Aki skipped through the streets of town, once in while stopping by a store. She already had bought herself a kimono. It was about 300 000 yen (about $2500 US) and was made of silk. It was mainly black but its sleeves' ends were red. The bottom half of the kimono, starting from the obi, represented the four elements. The Kimono was bought with some hair ornaments and earrings. Aki went to the home furnishing stores after and sold all her stuff in her room. She now had over one million yen. She bought a new swan feather bed, a mahogany dresser and cabinet, and a red beanbag to sit on. She also bought a desk and chain plus a black desk lamp. She left the store with two bags of different colored paint and a new tatami mat. She had about 500 000 yen left, and she set out back to her newly furnished home.
Aki took out a paintbrush and started painting the walls. At the end her room was magnificent. One wall was painted with different colored swirls and the remaining walls were colored dark red with black borders. Her bed had a white canopy above it and a new fan spun on the ceiling. Her bed was fixed with dozens of pillows and the tatami mat comforted her bare feet. Her red bean bag was surrounded by two different plants that made any one feel like a King. On her dresser was two folded pairs of pants and two t-shirts. Aki sat on her desk chair and fell asleep.
Hiashi knocked on her door, but when no one answered he went in. He was surprised at the scent of paint that came from the room and what made him more surprised was the layout of the room. It was different from the rest of the Hyuuga household. Hiashi held a picture of Hizashi and Neji in his hands, he placed it in front of the sleeping girl and then carefully lifted Aki up, he lay her on her bed and left the room, happy she had found her way home. I think I'll tell them tomorrow, I don't want to bother her now.
Neji stopped beside Hiashi and his mouth dropped at the room. "What did she do?"
"Neji, tomorrow, I'd like you and her to meet me at the Hyuuga dojo before sundown. I could tell you now, but I think it is too early."
: DAY THREE :
"It's settled then, you shall train with Maito Gai for now," the Hokage leaned back into his chair and let out a breath of air, "Go back to the Hyuuga house now."
"Hai, domo-arigato!" Aki smiled and bowed herself out of the room. When she got out she spotted her new sensei. Her jaw dropped when she saw him.
"HEHEHEY! I can just FEEL the fire of youth within you!" He casually walked up to Aki as if nothing was wrong with him, as if he was perfectly normal. He wasn't, not in the very least. Like all jounin, he wore the same green vest with many pockets. His clothes were leaf green and was made of what seemed like spandex. He had orange striped socks and his forehead protector, which was on red cloth instead of blue, hung around his waist like a belt. His hair style was hideous and reminded her awfully much of the boy she had seen some days ago. His eyebrows… his eyebrows, I have nothing to say about his eyebrows. But, if I, the author could describe it in one word… HIDEOUS! Okay, on with the show. Aki's forehead dripped with sweat, fire of youth? WTH? (I'm sure you know what that is…) "Come on my new pupil, I know you'll just adore your new team mates. You like Lee especially; he's my favorite, Lee. Oh, I must tell you, you look much like Neji! You could make for twins. Tenten will make a fine friend." Throughout his speech, Aki nodded and smiled. What have I gotten myself into?
"Here we are!" Aki looked at the training ground. How plain, was her first reaction. Three wooden stakes the same width as her body. She spotted three people at a distance, there were two boys and a girl. One of the guys were Neji and the other was the kid in green spandex… No wonder where he got his inspiration. The girl was the one that she accidentally hurt with her sandstorm.
"HI TEAM! Hi Lee! OKAY TODAY," Gai cleared his throat, "WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT! OKAY, LEE GO WITH TENTEN, NEJI GO WITH AKI! I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU YOUTHS ARE MADE OF!" Gai leaped up and landed on a turtle, that appeared out of no where by the way, and clapped his hands.
Aki closed her mouth and frowned, great, should I really give it my all?
"Hey." Neji looked at Aki waiting for a response.
"Mm."
"Don't think that I will go easy on you because you are related on me."
"Mm." Give it your best shot, you can't beat me.
Neji activated his Byakuugan and got into a fighting stance. "Then get ready." He narrowed his eyes as he saw that she hadn't bothered to move. Fine, he thought. Then he charged, chakra flowing through his hands. Aki watched, as if in slow motion, as her unknown sibling ran after her. She smiled reassuringly and then performed a quick handsign. She disappeared.
Neji looked up in wonder. Aki snickered at his surprised face, she was floating just above him. She controlled the wind and conjured it so that it supported her weight. She thought of what to do, because she didn't want to hurt him she began willing the ground to encase Neji in a little tomb. As it was doing that, Aki took her hand and blew, water came out of her finger tips and filled the little tomb. Neji's head bobbed out gasping for air. Aki fell to the ground laughing. "You can't even DODGE my attacks!" She continued to laugh. Neji climbed out of the tomb and sat at the top panting, damn, I was almost beat. I must not lose my concentration. He charged again, Aki stopped laughing and stared at him getting closer. "I'll burn you." Neji stopped in his tracks, "You know I am capable of it. If you get any closer I'll burn you." Neji took a step, Aki made her hands burn. Neji watched as the red flame licked her arms, not harming her in any way. She raised her arms, slowly and the flames turned purple. "Aren't they pretty?" She looked at him with flaming red eyes, thrusting her arms forward, rivers of flames appeared before Neji, choosing a path going his way. His eyes widened as the flames circled all around him creating a wall of fire. Aki chuckled, "I won't let it hurt you, I could, but I won't." She made the flames draw back from Neji. "Do you admit defeat."
Neji stared at her for a while, he stood there thinking, and the suddenly he dashed toward her and pressed a chakra point, "No!"
Aki was taken by surprise and coughed up blood. She then went changed into a completely different person. In a quiet voice she replied, blood trickling down her lips, "You want a fight?" She looked up revealing black eyes with white pupils, "You got one." She disappeared again.
Neji was taken aback at the force of her words. "Hello, Neji." He felt a kick to his back and he plunged forward face first, "Your Byakuugan won't help with me." He felt another kick to his stomach, the he felt the earth rising, his body, which was in a lying down position was positioned high enough to be face to face with a 5'4" body. "Remember, you started it." The wind picked up and lifted his body into the air, then the wind died and dropped him. He yelped as he almost hit the ground, only to be caught by more wind. He looked over at Aki, she held her head and was kneeling on the ground. She screamed in agony, and the world started turning black and blue. Neji watched as the blackness spread, destroying everything in its path. The blackness reached Konoha and when it continued going on it left Konoha in a mess of rubble. Aki screamed again and then the world was back to normal. She lay on the ground panting, and when Neji reached her side, she already felt nothing.
