Neji sighed, locking his phone once again. Closing the Facebook photo of Ino Yamanaka in the process.

"Damn what a mess.." He murmured, whipping up the fresh goat blood from the spell circle. It always amused him when Hinata got mad and had him murder someone when she couldn't outright do it herself. Just last week she had him Ice the Lunch Lady when she caught her spitting in Naruto's food. He shook his head, closing the spellbook and returning it to its spot in the maze of a library that was their basement.

Naruto was a dickhead, he probably deserved that glob of mucus in his ranch dressing but of course Hinata his valiant admirer wouldn't let that slide.

"Who'd she want dead this time?"

Neji glanced from his peripherals at Hanabi as she also entered the basement. He made sure to finish wiping up the rest of the spell circle of the ground before she could get a peek. Swishing the bloody rag around to muddle the designs.

"Hanabi you know your not supposed to be down here."

The girl rolled her eyes, choosing to sit on the railing of the grand stairs, sliding all the way down to the bottom. She jumped off, nearly catching his fingers as she touched the ground with her feet. "Oh come on Neji nii I'm just curious."

"Hana."

She pouted, throwing her hands on her waist in exasperation. "Come on just lemme see! I won't tell daddy you showed me!"

Neji frowned, straightening himself, tossing the bloody rag into the bucket of water at his side.

"How'd you even get in here. I know Uncle didn't tell you the incantations to get in." He muttered as he tried to usher her back up the stairs.

The girl smacked her teeth, standing her ground, flipping her long chocolate brown hair over her shoulder. "I listened to him one day when he wasn't paying attention. It wasn't even that hard."

Neji grabbed her by the shoulder, easily turning her around towards the stairs. "Hanabi that's not the point! It's too dangerous for yo-"

"WHY! You do it!, Hinata does it! Dad does it! Mom did it! Why am I the only one who doesn't get to use magic! It's not fair!" Hanabi cried out, slamming her small fists into Neji's chest. He easily bear-hugged her, carrying up the stairs and out the basement. She continued screaming and fighting until he dropped her into the kitchen. Her eyes were red and wet with tears.

He said nothing as she pulled herself into one of the chairs surrounding the island table. Her head buried under her arms as she shook with crying.

He poured her a glass of cold water.

"Here. Drink."

She peaked up from her arms. Her eyes were angry and red. With a furious rage, she swung her hand, smacking the glass out of his hands. She screamed with rage when it didn't fall to the floor and shatter, only stayed suspended in the air, water droplets dancing like ballerinas.

"It's. Not. Fair."

Neji took in the girl. Her eyes sad and angry, her shoulders seemed so small as she shook with anger. Her bottom lip pinched tight between her lips.

"Hanabi, you have to understand. What Hinata did for you when you were born took a big toll on her… you... " He sighed, scratching his head as he struggled for the right words. He glanced to the left, watching as he made the water slowly spin and dip. He let it go, ignoring the harsh sound as the glass shattered and water splashed against the cool tiles of the kitchen. "You're too precious to her, to me, to uncle, to your mother to let that ever happen to you again."

Gently he brushed away a stray tear as it rolled down her angrily blushed cheek.

She stood up from the table, marching over the glass on the floor, leaving the kitchen with a bloody red trail.

Neji sighed, pinching the skin on his forehead between his eyes.

He'd have to tell uncle to change the basements access incantations again.

Hinata scrolled through the contents of Ino's phone. The sender of the photos was unknown. She tried to look and see who it belonged to with her Byakugan but there was nothing.

Hinata frowned, somebody was trying to fuck with her. She had no idea who but she would find out. Unfortunately, that would have to go on the backburner for now.

Ino had been rushed to the hospital and the atmosphere of the classroom had been one of absolute chaos. Of course, nobody even thought to suspect her. Nobody noticed her snatching the phone out of Ino's hand either as she tumbled down those stairs.

Oh god!

She threw her hand over her mouth in an attempt to stifle her laughter. It had been like watching an episode of Ridiculousness!

Anyways, everyone had already left. She'd seen Sasuke and Sakura walk off together so now all she had to do was wait for him to execute his part. When she was spying on Sakura with her Byakugan she noticed that the Pinkett had told Naruto to "Kill that bitch by midnight." Knowing Naruto that meant he wasn't even going to bother try 'luring' her to him till 11ish.

Looking at her phone she scrolled through the sea of angry texts from Naruto.

He wouldn't have to kill her till midnight on the dot. So she could go see him now if she wanted to...

ME: Hey Naruto Kun! I'll take the spell off if you reallllly want me to. Come get me?

Naruto: If you're playing games I'll kill you. I'll be there in 30 min.

Hinata sighed, her heart fluttering wildly in her chest. She just LOVED when he talked all rough to her.

She rocked her legs back and forth as she sat on the rooftop of the school, locking her phone shut. She laid back, admiring the colors of the darkening sky, The breeze was soft and gentle. Slowly she closed her eyes, letting her body relax, and her mind wander. Sasuke would get the book. She'd break the demon contract. And Naruto would be hers. She thought about Ino. The way her pretty cerulean blue eyes bulged out of her skull. Her own blood and skin caked under her manicured nails as she rabidly scratched at her chest.

The pure unadulterated fear she saw in Ino when their eyes locked.

Let me out.

Hinata snapped back-up into a sitting position. Her arms clasped tight around herself. She flooded her mind with thoughts of Naruto, Sasuke, Her family.

Hanabi.

She had to start watching herself a little more before she got out of hand. Tucking a wispy part of her bang back into place she stood up, pulling her bag over her shoulder. She'd wait in the parking lot for Naruto Instead. Looking up she glanced at the premature moon, hidden slightly behind the oranges and pinks of the setting sun and clouds.

The moon was watching her a little to hard up on the roof it seemed.

"What happened?" Sasuke asked. The commotion that came from the lecture room honestly startled him. EMT were all over the place, a blonde girl he knew as Ino was being rushed out on a gurney, her shirt ripped and bloody. Students had slowly started to pool out and her noticed Sakura actually seemed a little distressed. Her green eyes following the till body of the blonde girl as she was rushed away.

"I-i don't know. She just fell down the stairs and started freaking out! Screaming and all types of stuff…"

Hinata walked past and he caught her eye. She looked unbothered.

"Damn, that's crazy…"

Sakura bit her lip, her eyes moving rapidly back and forth, it seemed she was thinking about something. "Yea… it was…"

Awkwardly Sasuke scratched his head. He wasn't good in those types of situations. Any type of situation really. "You ok?" He asked, figuring it was probably what he should say.

"Oh uh, yea. We weren't close or anything we just had this kind of… mutual… understanding of each other I guess…" She admonished, tilting her head with an unsure smile.

"Oh" He replied dumbly, shuffling from one foot to the other. He noticed as Sakura's eyes followed the back of Hinata's head as she walked away.

"Uh. Are you ready to go? Or do you need a second or someth-"

"NO! No- I mean, I'm good! Let's go ok." She practically jumped on him, grabbing his arm and pulling him down the hall. He stumbled next to her. He couldn't help but through a look over his shoulder, catching a glimpse of Hinata walking up a set of stairs.

"I'm driving?" He asked, turning his attention back to the pinky.

"Yea, Naruto has the car and I told him to make himself busy while we study." She said bashfully. She knew how it seemed, tossing her 'boyfriend' to the side. But, this was the point. Sasuke was her goal. She wasn't dumb. She saw the way Sasuke had flirted with Hinata earlier, and just now when he tried to look at her.

"Hn."

He was probably trying to make Hinata jealous or something since that Hyuuga bitch never paid him any attention. Sakura bit her lip in anger. That dumb bitch didn't know what she was missing.

Sakura looked up at the boy who she was currently latched on to. His skin so soft and cool, his dark hair laying across his eyes, good god his eyes... He glanced at her and instantly she looked away. Her heart beating hard in her chest. They were so dark and deep, swirling with mystery, hooded with long lashes.

She would kill that bitch. For taking his attention and for not seeing how great Sasuke Kun was.
