The next morning Daishi awoke in his bed. After his chakra holes had opened he painfully walked into the household and into his room. He got up, and went down to the dining hall for breakfast where he sat across the table from Hiashi, to the left of Hinata, and to the right of Neji.

"Hinata, go fetch us some tea would you?" Hiashi asked…or rather ordered in the form of a question. He didn't actually 'ask' Hinata to do anything and Daishi hated that. Hinata got up from the table and got the tea without question. She brought back a form of herbal tea. Daishi never could tell his teas apart, but it smelled like Jasmine. He took a sip and realized that Hinata had put a dash of sugar in his tea. Hyuuga members were supposed to take their tea without sugar, cream, or any other form of sweetener that would 'Remove the purity' of the beverage. Hinata knew that Daishi hated tea, so she always put sugar in his hoping to cool him down about having to drink it. She had no idea that he wasn't mad because of the tea.

"So Hinata," the elderly woman sitting to Hinata's right said, "I hear you have a mission next week?"

"Hai." Hinata replied

"Try not to get in everyone's way." Hiashi stated. Daishi was clenching his fist. It took everything he had to keep himself from punching Hiashi right then and there. He took another sip of tea.

"Would it kill you to just be a little supportive, Hiashi-sama?" The woman asked. Hiashi did not reply, he felt it wasn't a proper topic for the breakfast table.

Breakfast passed and Daishi went into his room to wait until it was time for he and Hinata to train. He sat reading a book about the Hyuuga. He was trying, unsuccessfully, to find something, anything, about another Hyuuga with colored eyes.

By the time he finished the book it was almost time to train. He went outside to the training grounds to wait for Hinata, and to his surprise, she was already there.

She was sitting on the ground looking at the moon. She apparently hadn't noticed him yet. She was just sitting and staring. She mumbled something to herself, it was too quiet for Daishi to hear, but it must have been a name because he heard kun. Probably wondering where I am. Daishi thought.

"Hi Hinata-niichan."

Hinata showed a slightly shocked expression on her face when she turned around, "Hi Daishi-kun. You're early."

"I had nothing better to do," he said, "so I just decided to come out here to wait for you."

"Well, I'm here, let's get started." She got to her feet and began to walk back inside.

"Hinata-niichan! I thought you said we were going to train!" Daishi yelled infuriated.

"We are. We just aren't going to train here." She said as she beckoned Daishi to come inside.

The pair walked along the dark corridors of the Hyuuga household. They walked to the front door, and then went out into the courtyard.

"Hinata-niichan, why couldn't we do this in the training area?" Daishi asked curiously.

"Daishi, can you climb trees?" She asked seeming to randomly change the subject.

"Of course I can. I've been climbing trees since I was 7." He replied smugly.

"Can you climb them without using your hands?" She shot back

"Huh? That's impossible." He said.

Just then Hinata shot off running towards a tree on the west side of the courtyard with no branches until about 15 meters up. She ran 10 meters up the tree, jumped up, grabbed a limb, and swung down.

"Whoa." Was all Daishi could think of to say.

"Focus your chakra into the bottoms of your feet, then make a beeline to the tree." She said, "Don't stop until you can grab a branch, then swing down."

Daishi focused his chakra. He brought it into a tight spiral on the bottoms of his feet. He ran full force at the tree, took two steps up, and fell on his face.

Hinata chuckled, "You'll get it Daishi-kun. We'll come back tomorrow night and stay longer, but now, let's go inside and get some sleep." She said as she went back inside. Daishi followed.

Over the course of six days Daishi was able to climb the tree perfectly. It seemed to Hinata that Daishi had natural chakra controlling abilities. She thought she would skip the second portion and go straight to the technique.

"Daishi, focus a ball of chakra into each of your hands. Don't spin it, just focus it." Hinata directed.

"Hai." Daishi put a hollow shell of chakra in his hands.

"I had a feeling you might do that Daishi-kun. You can't have a chakra shell when you use this technique."

"But Hinata-niichan, there's no other way to get chakra into a sphere."

"What about Naruto's Oodama Rasengan?"

"Who's what? Just…don't bother niichan." Daishi released the shell and all the chakra in it exploded into nothing. "What's this technique supposed to do anyway?"

"The purpose of the technique is to stop an oncoming attack. However, it can be used to attack if need be."

"Ok…that didn't make any sense." Daishi replied, "What's the name of the technique?"

"Shugohakke Rokujuyon sho. Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. It's basicly the defensive form of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four palms that Neji-kun uses."

"So…you're teaching me a DEFENSIVE technique! I NEED OFFENSE TO BEAT NEJI!"

"Or so you think Daishi-kun. Let's get some rest. I have a mission tomorrow and don't want to be tired.

"Ok Hinata-sensei." Daishi said as he reluctantly followed Hinata indoors…for the last time.
