I just realized I haven't put any disclaimers at the top of any of the chapters. So I'm going to have Saturn Girl do it!
……….. Right, she's in a coma. I'll just do it myself, then.
InvisibleGwynn: InvisibleGwynn does not own any of the Naruto characters nor the Legion of Superheroes characters.
Phantomgirl had been shocked at the pale-eyed boy's sudden reaction, but now she was ticked. She was only trying to be nice, after all!
Before she could express this, however, Superman asked, "What's a shinobi?" The pale-eyed boy sighed. "Do you know what a ninja is?" Most heads shook. Superman, however, responded with an "I thought they didn't exist." The pale-eyed boy continued, "I thought not. A ninja is someone trained to fight using jutsus. I am a leaf-shinobi, which means I serve and defend the village hidden in the Leaf." Lightning Lad seemed to get it, responding with "Oh, like a superhero!" The pale-eyed boy raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea what you're talking about." Superman jumped in at that point with an explanation. "A superhero is a person with special abilities, most of the time, who use their powers to protect people."
The pale-eyed boy nodded. He didn't say anything, he just nodded.
How rude.
Phantomgirl was still fuming over his rudeness as the others began to ask other questions.
"So, what's your name?" Superman asked.
"Hyuuga Neji." The pale eyed boy responded.
Phantomgirl cut in at that point, deciding to be rude back.
"Isn't Hyuuga a strange name?"
Hyuuga Neji frowned.
"Hyuuga is not a strange name; we are an esteemed, respectable clan." He said irritably.
Okay, if she hadn't been confused before, she was now.
"Huh?" she said intelligibly.
He sighed again.
"It's my clan's name. A surname? Surely you know what that is," He said condescendingly.
Phantomgirl bristled. He didn't need to be so rude about it! How was she supposed to know he had his last name in front of his first? Honestly, that was just dumb!
"Well, you know what? You-" she started, but was cut off by Lightning Lad.
"Seriously, no need to get nasty. Why don't you go and see what Bouncing boy's up to?" He said, gently shoving her in that direction.
"Fine!" She snapped. And she turned on her heel and left.
I seem to have this thing for cutting off stories at awkward points. Oh well. Next chapter will probably revert to Neji's point of view, then the one after that will be another legionnaire's and so on and so forth.
