Previously on Band Rivals

" Fine, I'll leave Sasuke but I will make a new band that will beat your to fame and we'll do it the right way!" Neji said as he walked out and slammed the door behind him.

( Hyuuga mansion)

Neji was sitting on his bed hoping to forget what had happened just a moments earlier but he knew he was asking to much of his own memory.

Neji decided to just go to sleep and hope to god that this was just a horrible nightmare that would go away as soon as he woke up the next morning.Neji laid on his bed and closed his eyes trying to forget everything but it just replayed over and over again.

Neji turned over and pushed himself off the bed and decided to pace around. Maybe this would help him calm his mind a bit.

But to no avail. Neji just kept on thinking about what he said. That he would make a band from scratch and that they would become famous before Sasuke's band. Now that he was pacing he thought that he was stupid for saying this.

Sasuke's band had gotten many good reviews and were now getting on a label not to mention they were the talk of almost all of Tokyo. How could he get a band that is better than that!

" This is so frustrating!" Neji said as he fell back in his bed.

All of a sudden Neji looked up because he heard the door of his room slide open. He was curious to see who it was because he had two doors. One metal door that had lock and the second was a traditional Japanese sliding door made of the finest wood.

" Who's there?" Neji asked calmly as he walked towards the door.

It was his younger sister Erika who just looked at Neji then decided to turn back.

" Wait Erika! What is it you want?" Neji asked his sister who he knew when something upset her it had to be serious. And it was!

" Erika what's wrong!" Neji was now getting worried about his sister and what might be going on with his family.

" Neji...mother...was hospitalized today...she was shot in the abdomen...she's dead..." was all Erika said before she slowly closed her eyes and fell on the ground. This was too much for the fifteen year old with health problems.

" ERIKA-CHAN!" Neji shouted as he picked up his sister and ran towards the main hall.

There Hiashi, Hanabi and Hinata were in the hall morning for the loss but then they saw Neji holding Erika.

" What happed to her Neji-niisan?" asked Hanabi as she took a good look at her cousin who was unconscious.

" I have no idea! When she told me that my mother had died she couldn't take it and she fell! Let's take her to a hospital quick!" Neji shouted to them as one of them began to check her reflexes and another person called an ambulance.

( In the hospital)

Neji along with his cousins and uncle were sitting outside in the waiting room. This was a big hit to the Hyuuga family. Now Neji had to be the caretaker of himself and his younger sister who was poor of health but had much determination.

" Excuse me, but are you Erika-chan's older brother?" the doctor asked as he came out of the room.

" Yes, I am. How is she?" asked Neji to the doctor looked on form the corner.

" Well, you see your sister isn't ever going to get better, I'm sorry I have to tell you this but your sister has cancer. We aren't sure where it is because it looks like something we have never encountered in the medical field before. But we know now that it's incurable and it's caused by severe stress and lack of eating." said the doctor giving Neji a look that meant he wanted to know why she wasn't eating.

" Well you see, my father passed away not to long ago and my sister was very close to him so as he died it's as if she was dying along with him. My mother and I tried to make her eat and in the end it worked but it had already been over a year and I guess her body just couldn't take it." said Neji while putting his head lower and lower as he spoke.

" It's alright but it would be better if your sister stayed here for a while alright mister Hyuuga." the doctor then went in the room and the Hyuugas were there to look after each other.

(Marise Tenshi High School)

Neji had barely gotten any sleep and looked very tired. He had arrived at his home room but didn't feel like hearing Asuma- sensei yelling at him for being late so he went directly to the office and waited there for a late pass.

Neji was now in more stress that the day before. What the doctor had told him made him worry worse than the fact that his mother had died. Yes she was important to him but now he wasn't going to have his sister around with him. His life was becoming hell.

" Neji -kun! Are you okay?" asked a girl with light brown eyes and dark brown hair that were in two buns. She was wearing a Chinese style shirt which had a picture of a dragon and some navy blue caprice to match.

"Oh, hey there Ten-ten, how are you this morning " Neji asked flatly but trying to cover it up with a fake smile that would melt the hearts of many girls.

" Neji-kun, there is something wrong with you! I know it!" Ten-ten said as she took a seat next to him.

" Not really, it's just your imagination. Now if you will excuse me I will be leaving for class." Neji said as he got up.

On his way on the hall way he saw the bulletin board and saw a paper that stated the following.

Looking for new member for the group CHIDORI

We are looking for a DJ player who knows how to mix well many different kinds of music and has a winning attitude. If you are interested then please call this number (made up number!) 555-67-87 This can only be used for info or if you are interested and schedule a time to try out. Think about it!

Uchiha Sasuke!

Neji was now completely pissed! Was Sasuke trying to make him look stupid! Or was he doing this to prove his point that he could replace him! It didn't matter.

Now Neji was determined! He will make his band with new recruits and he'll do it for himself, his sister and his parents! To make everyone proud!

He posted up a paper that he had made that day before that read

Wanna join a group that has an awesome chance at becoming famous? Do you play an instrument that you know would be awesome to have in a rock band?

Well then you should try out for my new band! "Angels of Hell"

I'm looking for new member and it could be you! Show up at the Hyuuga Mansion today at 6:oo pm don't be late!

Hyuuga Neji

Neji looked at his paper feeling very proud of it. He was going to try hard and not make the same mistake that Sasuke did which was do nothing while others did everything.

" Man, I hope there will be people to try out. Well I have the entire day to try and find people." Neji said trying to keep a positive attitude when he knows it's almost futile.

All the thoughts about his mother passing away and his sister having her days counted kinda brought him down.

" Excuse me" said a girl with shiny pink hair that resembled the color of the Sakura flower. Her eyes looked like sparkling emeralds that could hypnotize anyone with just a glance. The girl was very attractive and sweet. Even her voice was very appealing.

" Oh, sorry." Neji said at a loss for words which never happens.

" It's alright! I'm new in this school but I wanted to check out anything I might want to join. OHH! A rock group! That's awesome! Were you thinking of joining?" The girl asked Neji who was a bit surprised so she decided to talk for him.

" Well, I think I'll try to join, I'm good with the bass guitar and I can do back-up vocals! You're cute! I think you should try out! By the way my name is Haruno Sakura! I have to go! Sayonara!" said the girl as she raced off which made her navy-blue skirt go up a bit and her cute pink tang-top.

This girl had left Hyuuga Neji speechless.

He stood there still baffled over the girl but then a small smirk took it's place.

" I guess I have someone who wants to join ne!" He said slightly intrigued.

During most of his classes Neji was still wondering about that girl, Haruno Sakura, who intrigued him so.

( Last Class)

" Well, she's different." Neji said smirking while looking up.

" Neji- bro!" Neji heard his name shouted out like that from across the class room and new the owner of that hyper voice.

" Uzumaki-kun! Urusai! ( Shut-up!)The English teacher shouted. ( OO not English lady!)We are trying to learn here!" said the old lady who looked like she was about to die off from a heart attack.

" Sorry!" Naruto shouted while the teacher just glared then turned back.

" Neji-bro! Are you really gonna quit the band!" said a paper Naruto balled up and threw to Neji so he could read it.

Neji read and just nodded towards Naruto who's big grin dissolved to nothing more that a blank look.

Ino and Kiba also saw this but tried to ignore the fact that Neji was now out of their band all because of Sasuke's pride.

( The end of the last class 5:45)

" Shit! I'm going to be late to see the people who are trying out! Damn!" Neji cursed as he put on his shoes and walked out of the school. As he began to run out of the building he felt a tug on his uniform jacket.

" Neji-kun!" he turned to find the girl he had liked for over three years, Ino!

" What's the matter Ino?" Neji asked as he fixed his shoe.

" Neji-kun, why aren't you coming to practice with the rest of us?" Ino asked as she looked to the ground.

" You and I both know that Sasuke doesn't want me around anymore, so I'm doing just as I said. Anyways I better leave before Sasuke sees you talking to me and kicks you out. Later Ino-chan!" Neji said as he smiled at her and then ran off leaving Ino there staring into the sunset which Neji was running off to.

" Neji-kun..." Ino whispered out.

Sasuke saw all of it from the corner of the building which was where he was standing.

" Stupid Ino! Don't tell me she's falling for that fool! Doesn't matter because the ugly bitch can't hope for anything better than trash." Sasuke said as he walked off. ( Sorry for OOC!)

( The Hyuuga Mansion)

Neji slid open the main door to the mansion and ran in. As he was running he saw his family dressed in white showing that there was a diseased in the family.

" Neji-kun...why are you in such a hurry?" Hiashi asked Neji who was out of breath and panting.

" I want new members for my band! I'm making a new one! I plan to make my parents and my sister proud by making the name Hyuuga big! Neji said with a look of determination in his eyes!

" Alright!" Hiashi said with a grin on his face that meant he understood that Neji had good intentions and hadn't forgot his sister's health or the death of his mother, neither was he trying to block it out of his mind. It was clear that Neji was becoming a man.

(The Hyuuga livingroom)

When Neji had reached the living room he saw only four people but he could tell they were the ones who were going to be in his band.

" Hey there! You're that guy from earlier today right?" asked Sakura as she stood up and saw Neji walk in.

" Yeah! And I'm the lead singer this band and you will be part of it." Neji said to them.

" But don't we need to audition dude?" asked a calm looking guy with silver hair falling down on his face.

" Yeah he's right!" protested a guy with a bowl haircut and creepy eyes, not to mention he had two huge eye brows!

" No because I know all of you have talent! I've seen you before, okay maybe not sakura but the rest of you I have.

" I know you guys are committed to things and I trust you enough to practice!" Neji said as he put his school bag down.

" Aren't we going to wait for others to appear?" asked a red haired boy with a tattoo of the Japanese character for love.

" No because I know the rest of them went to go try out for Sasuke's band." Neji stated.

" Anyways how about we start by telling our names and what we play in the band." Neji said.

" Well, I'm Hatake Kakashi, and I'm pretty awesome on the drums so I'll play that." said Kakashi in a lay back attitude.

" Cool, cuz I can't play the drums! So I'll being the DJ! Besides I took classes on that! Youth power! By the way my name is Rock Lee!" said Lee standing up on the seat while the others laughed at him.

" My name is Sabaku no Gaara, I'll play the guitar since it's the only thing I can play and I can do back-up vocals." said Gaara sternly.

"Well, I guess you all know my name! Haruno sakura! I'll play the bass guitar and any back-up vocals if necessary!" Sakura said enthusiastically.

" Well, now that we all know each others names, I guess we should start with basics! Then we will move on to making the beat for this song, I already have one!" Neji stated.

" Hey wait! What's your name!" Sakura asked .

" I'm Hyuuga Neji the leader of the Angels of Hell and you guys are now part of it!" Neji said with a smirk while the rest smirked along with him.
