Neji wandered along the beach. He was passing back and forth. He hadn't changed back yet. It was almost dawn and Neji was still a wolf.

'What's going on? I should be human be human by now! I've got to tell Hinata.'

Hinata is the only other person besides Tana and Tashimaru that knows about the curse. She could understand Neji as a wolf. But she was another chosen one but she wasn't cursed. He was.

Neji ran to Hinata's house. It was 4:00 am now. Everyone was still asleep. So Neji barged through the door, good thing no one heard him. Neji headed for Hinata's room. He pawed at her until she woke up.

"Wha…Wha?" she said as she wiped her eyes. She saw Neji's fur. "Ne-Neji?" He pawed at her hand meaning Yes. It's me Neji.

"Y-your st-still a wolf!"

Neji gave her an irritated look saying If I knew what was going on I wouldn't be here!

"Oh…Okay. What did you do last?"

He howled softly.

"You just sat by Tenten and listened to her talk to you?"

Neji nodded.

"What did she do to you?"

He pawed at Hinata

"She was petting you…nothings wrong with that. Unless…"

Neji growled. Was she accusing his friend of doing this to him?

"Neji. I'm not accusing her! I'm just saying that there is another cursed one. Not your type of curse though. I'm sorry I don't know what the curse is so I can't help. I'm sorry..."

He nodded and left. Once outside he watched the moon sink. Then he slowly walked home.

'What are Mother and Father going to say? If I go home they wouldn't even know that its me! But I have to go home. But how will I t- DANGIT!' Neji ran back to Hinata's house. Once he was in her room he jumped on the bed waking her up.

"Ne-NEJI!" Hinata yelled because she was startled. Neji barked at this.

'SHUT UP YOU'LL WAKE YOUR PARENTS UP!' Neji yelled in his mind. Then Hinata saw his expression.

"I'm sorry…you startled me." Hinata's eyes filled with tears.

'Oh great. The guilt trick.' Neji licked her hand.

"You're forgiven. Now what do you need?" Hinata said sweetly. He signaled to follo him. Then he slightly howled saying "Translate for me. I need my parents to understand I'm they're son." Hinata nodded. They walked a bit and arrived at Neji's house. Hinata explained what was going on and that Neji may be stuck like this for a long time. Their remarks to this were not what Neji expected.

"Oh my god! What if we have to have a wolf for a son! What will people think? We're so politically dead!" When Neji heard that he ran off. He was running as fast as his four legs could run. But he did not know that he had two followers. Neji ran out of Konoha and into a forest. Then he heard heavy breathing from behind him.

"Ne…Nej…Neji…" A voice was able to say as she pasted out.

"We…we…wer…were worried…" another voice said as she passed out too. Neji's eyes widened as he turned around seeing Tenten and Hinata falling from the tree they were currently standing on.

'Dangit. Darn Hinata! She told Tenten! What will she think of me now?" Neji leapt and got under the falling girls and they both landed on top of Neji. He howled in pain. Only one boy with fox instincts heard the cry. He jumped tree to tree until he found a wolf just barely conscious with to girls on top him. Neji signaled Naruto to grab Hinata and to follow him. Neji secured Tenten on his back and ran from tree to tree. The sun was up now Hinata opened her eyes to see Naruto with the sun shining on his face.

"Why must this dream end?" he mumbled as she rested her head on Naruto's chest. Naruto heard this and stopped. Neji looked back and gave Naruto an annoyed look.

"But she said something." Neji ran back to Hinata. He licked her hand. "You're a smart wolf!"

"He-Hey that tickles!" Hinata said.

Neji barked 'Wake up! This isn't a dream! You're being carried by Nauto to the Infirmary!' Hinata's eyes snapped open. "You mean? I just aid that? To HIM?" Neji barked 'Yes.' Hinata blushed furiously. She looked up Blue eyes met Silver orbs. Realizing what position she had been in she fainted in embarrassment.

"Uhhh…" Naruto was confused. Neji glared at him. Naruto followed Neji to the Konoha infirmary. Everyone stared as Neji and Nauto barged into the building. They stared at Neji the most. "Stop gawking and help the girls!" Naruto yelled. A half an our later the doctor came out.

"You may see the girls. They're in room 141."

"Okay!" Naruto and Neji walked to the room. Hinata and Tenten were peacefully sleeping. When,

"Hey! Are you guys okay?" Naruto yelled. Neji bit Naruto. "Hey! Owowowowwo! What was that for?" Neji glanced at Hinata who was waking up. Naruto ran to he side. And Neji ran to Tenten's side. Good. She hadn't woken up yet.

"Whe-Where are we?" Hinata asked.

"Your in the infirmary. You followed this wolf and passed out."

"Oh. O-ok."

"Ya no prob!"

"Na-Naruto? Uh-um- Tha-thanks…"

"Like I said no prob! Are you still exhausted? Your cheeks are red." Naruto cocked his head. Then He heard the door open. Sakura and Sasuke walked in the room. Sakura had brought flowers for here best friends. Sasuke just walked in coolly as always.

"She likes you dobe." Sasuke said coolly without any emotion.

"Sa-Sasuke…you put it so-so bluntly…" Hinata blushed even more.

"REALLY!" Naruto yelled.

"Keep it down dipstick!" Sakura yelled as she almost hit Naruto until,

"Thanks Sakura for the flowers." Hinata smiled.

"Your welco-"

"YOU ALMOST HIT ME!"

"Shut up!"

"Sakura you're so mean." Naruto pouted. Tenten woke up. She opened her eyes and looked to her side to see a blur of silver laying next to her bed.

"Ne-Neji!" Tenten yeeled as she pulled Neji on the bed into a hug. Neji glared at Hinata. 'Get everyone out of here.'

"Uhh..um…can you guys leave? We need to talk privately…" Hinata asked. Everyone left leaving Neji, Tenten, and Hinata in the room.

"I'm so sorry!" Tenten cried in Neji's fur. Neji cocked his head. "It's all my fault that your like this!" she sobbed. Neji was really confused now.

"Ne-Neji have you ever wondered why your arm is in those bandages?" Hinata asked. Neji nodded no. His parents always seemed to change the bandages as he grew without him seeing under it.

"I'm the only one who knows what's under them. But Tashimaru, Tana, and now Hinata knows too." Tenten said between sobs. "What's under the bandages are inscriptions. The charka that flowed to you left the marks called inscriptions…I have them too…"

Neji sat up. He was furious. Why was she saying these things? Neji thought she was just lying to make him feel better, until she took his paw and placed it at her wrist and slowly dragged it up her arm saying

"Reveal."

Then inscriptions appeared.
