"I'm Neji and this is the heir to the throne Lady Hinata and the next one is Hanabi." Neji said a little bit politely as he introduce on the two's behalf.
"Well, I know who you are anyway. So let's just get on with." she looked at them who stare at her with a blank look and then she laughed.
"You didn't expect me to bring a large fish bowl now did you? You can practically change yourself into one of us. I'll be waiting on the shore with your clothes and don't make me wait." She said warningly as she looked into their eyes before proceeding to head back to the shore by jumping from stone to stone. The three look at each other and sigh.
"I'm gonna miss being on the sea." said Hinata as she look at the azure sea that sparkle under the shimmering sky and the silver of the full moon that hangs above them.
"But for the future of the kingdom we must sacrifice Lady Hinata." said Neji
"Well, what are you all waiting for, a group hugs? We must go, not a second to lose." Hanabi said before swimming to shore at a high speed. Within a second a shimmering light engulf her and as the light fade she slowly found herself emerging from the water.
"We must go Lady Hinata."
Hinata look at Neji before nodding with approval. Together they swim to shore and was engulf by the same light and slowly emerge from the water. As Hinata emerge, she found herself staggering as she felt two strange things intact in her body.
"Kinda wobbly, aren't you?" Hinata look over at the voice and found Tsunade smiling at her. She covered Hinata with a blanket before she handed Neji the last one.
"Are you ok Lady Hinata?" Neji ask, Hinata turn to answer him back but instead of answering him she gasp. She was taken aback by the strange marking on his forehead, an even 'X' shape place at the center of his forehead and a strange line on the left and right side of the x-shape which is bend at each opposite place.
"Neji-ni—your forehead." she hesitantly tried to touch it but feared that it might cause pain so she retract her hand. Then she saw Neji placing a hand on his forehead.
"Well, that's how merman under your age supposes to get once you decided to step on land, branded by your own clan symbol and poof!" Tsunade said as she looked at the symbol on Neji's forehead.
"Wow, its quiet cool if you ask me." Hanabi said as she look at the strange marking.
"Well, something like that could pass as a tattoo here in our world so you don't need to be afraid to show it around." Hanabi then started to giggle.
"Well, something like that is not what Neji would want to show around. Believe me, the moment he find something that could hide that mark don't expect to have it back" she laugh.
"Hanabi! Don't talk about Neji-nii that way, he's not like that" Hinata defended.
"Well gee oneesan it was only a joke, no need to get so motherly about it" Hanabi retorted with humor.
"Enough of that, we need to get out of these place and fast. Follow me; my car is just park beside the highway road." Tsunade interrupt.
"What's a car?" Hanabi ask which cause Tsunade to sigh deeply.
"Man, this is gonna take long months to teach you three about our nature" she said.
OOO
It's been almost three months since the three arrive at Tsunade's large manor, a few kilometers from the city. Three months, the two, namely Hinata and Neji undergo such many torments of night and day lecture and study about human cultures. Since Tsunade said they'll be living a life of a normal teenage school kids in about a few months from now, and that they still have a lot to learn. Neji was the first one to pass since he's exceptionally genius and he used to go to school until he was assigned to be the chief of the palace guard.
"Neji-nii?" Hinata shyly look at her cousin from the top of her book. Neji look at her from the book he was reading.
"What is it Lady Hinata?" he asked, this cause Hinata to pout.
"Can you please stop calling me that?" she said
"Once we are outside I will. But when we are inside and away from the human world I'm bound to address you by your rank." he said.
"But we are cousins by blood." Hinata complained.
"That is true, but still Lady Hinata that is not enough reason as to why I should not address you formally."
"But shouldn't cousins talk normally to each other?" she imply.
"Aren't we talking to each other normally right now Lady Hinata?" Neji ask as he raised one brow at her. Hinata could only sigh.
"I guess." she said with a slight disappointment.
OOO
"Hinata! Where are you child?" Tsunade's voice echoed throughout the manor.
"What is it, Tsunade-sama?" Hinata ask as she emerged from one of the many doors. Tsunade turn and smile at her.
"Oh! There you are. I got your uniform, here, try them on. And here's one for Neji. You'll be enrolled in a school about a week from now. Could you please tell Neji about that for me Hina-chan? I'm running late from a meeting. I'll see you at dinner. By the way, where's Hanabi?" she ask as she look around before handing Hinata the two bags with their uniform.
"She's in her room playing that gadget thing you bought for her." Hinata replied as she took the bag from her hands.
"That's good. I'm going now, ok?" Hinata gave a nod.
"Please take care, Tsunade-sama" she said worriedly.
"I will, no need to worry about me." Then with that she head out.
When she was out of sight, Hinata head back inside.
OOo
"What was that Lady Hinata?" Neji ask as he looks at Hinata who just came in from outside the room.
"It was Tsunade-sama saying that we'll be enrolled to a school in a few weeks from now and that these will be our uniform. This is for you, Neji-nii." she said as she handed Neji the other bag. He took it from her hand and analyzed the strange garment.
"I guess it's ok." he said as he gave it a last look before pushing it back to the bag.
"What about yours Lady Hinata?" he look at Hinata who was blushing so hard. 'I guess that it's a skirt', he thought. Hinata is not the type to show off some skin. Even when she was in her true form, she tried her best to keep her well endowed body hidden under those white vines.
"It's pretty but… I'm not sure." she said as she placed the uniform back to its place.
"I could ask Tsunade-san to arrange a new one for you." Neji suggest. Hinata shook her head.
"No, there's no need and beside I don't want to trouble her." she said as she look down, Neji watch her before proceeding back to finish reading his book.
"If that's what you want then I have no choice but to keep silent about it." he said, Hinata look up and smile.
"Thank you."
OOo
"Well Hinata, how was your study today?" Tsunade ask while they're taking their dinner. Hinata put down the fork before answering her back politely.
"It was fine Tsunade-sama, I learn a lot. Thank you for asking." she said with a slight bow, Tsunade smile.
"Still polite as ever." she said before she turned to look at Neji.
"What about you Neji? Anything new?" she asked.
"I read something made by George Willison about the first winter in Jamestown, where four out of five died of starvation. One man, his mind unhinged by slow starvation, killed his wife, 'powdered salted her, and had eaten part of her before it was known,' for which he was hanged." Neji said seriously, Tsunade almost got choke by her food. Hastily she took the cup full of water and drank it rapidly, once she was done she sigh with relief.
"N-Neji, isn't that a bit repulsive? Discussing like that is prohibited, especially if we are eating." she said, Neji could only nod. Hanabi was making disgusted faces at her own plate.
"You mean, you humans eat your own kind?" she ask as she shudder with disgust. This time it was Hinata who almost got choke down on her food. Neji handed her the cup of water which she took after a swift low bow of appreciation. Tsunade decided she no longer have the appetite to finish her dinner, and put the fork and knife down beside the half finished plate.
"Well Hanabi, if you must know. We don't eat our own kind. Either we have meat from a certain animal or we eat vegetables and fruit." she said as a matter of fact. Hanabi look at her with suspicion.
"How do you explain that movie I just saw not a moment ago with a human person eating another one, roast them and serve them to some other human people?" she said as she rose one brow. Tsunade sigh, there goes the dessert. She cannot totally stomach anything right now.
"Hanabi, that's just that, a movie. Now if you please excuse me I still have something to finish. Please continue your dinner without me." she said as she stood up and took off before you could even say 'one second', the three watched as she went out. Hinata look at Hanabi accusingly.
"You shouldn't have said that, Hanabi-chan." she gently scolded her sister.
"It's not my fault they got such a weird nature. Humans are strange." Hanabi said.
OOo
The following week was the start of the first week of school. Hinata was pretty nervous about it as she looks at herself over the large mirror. She took a deep breath then a large exhale when the door suddenly opens, revealing Neji standing on the door dress in a black trouser that rightly hugs his legs and a black long jacket with stand-up collar. And about his forehead mark, he covered it with a bandage he found in Tsunade's med kit which was left openly on top of a table.
"You look nice in your uniform, Neji-nii." she complimented with a bright smile, Neji slightly give off a smile.
"You don't look so bad yourself." he said indicating her black mini skirt and white button up long sleeve, which is rolled up to her elbow and a black necktie. Her white socks goes up an inch above her knees.
"Thank you." she said with a deep blush, some short locks of hair frame her beautifully heart shape face and her bangs slightly covered her lavender eyes.
"Are you ready to go now? Tsunade-san is waiting outside the gate." he said, Hinata look up at him and nod.
"Let's go." she said as she followed Neji out.
OOo
"Remember what I told you and don't forget to blend in, you'll find teenagers here are just like the same in your world too. But in a different way" Tsunade said as she drop the two in front of the school gate.
"We understand Tsunade-sama. Don't worry we'll try to blend in as much possible as we can." said Hinata. Tsunade just nod her head before turning to look at Neji.
"Now Neji, it's up to you to guard Hinata. I don't know how you do it but don't attract too much attention to yourself. Since you're a senior and Hinata is a junior, you have to make sure you get in touch with each other." Neji could only nod.
"Well then, we'll leave you to yourself now. I'll pick you up in about five minutes after school here in the front gate. Ok?"
"Yes Tsunade-sama." Hinata replied politely as she give a low bow.
"Were off."
"Bye nee-chan. Neji take care of her you hear?" said Hanabi from the back seat, Neji just nod at her in return.
"Bye Hanabi." Hinata wave at her before they completely disappear out of sight.
"Well it's us from now on." she said as she turned in front to look at the big building
"Here is your schedule." Neji finally spoke as he handed Hinata a small piece of paper.
"Unfortunately my room is on the east wing of the building. I guess I'll have to see you at lunch, please be careful" he said in a very serious tone, Hinata could only smile.
"I will, and please do be careful as well."
After a small bid of good-bye they head to find their room.
OOo
"Goddamn it! If it weren't for those stupid crazy fan girls frolicking and chasing all over me I won't be so much in this mess." whispered angrily by the strange but perfectly good-looking guy to himself as he tried to jump over the fence in order to reach the other side. But unfortunately due to haste of not getting found out by some rabid fan girls he lost his footing and slip down to the ground with a loud thud.
OOo
Hinata was silently walking down the outside corridor when she heard a loud thud followed by a groan. She was curious to know as to what cause the strange noise, so she followed the rustling sound and sure enough she saw a guy sitting behind the bush under a tree. He looks kind of cool with his jacket open up like that revealing the white button up long sleeve underneath with two buttons open. His hair was tousled and his face look flushed.
"Uhmm…e-excuse me, b-but are you o-ok?" Hinata can't help but ask as she looked at him. The guy suddenly bolted right up and glared at her, to her surprise he sigh.
"Don't tell me you're one of those fan girls again because I tell you-"
"F-fan girls? I-I'm afraid your mistaken, y-you see I'm new here a-and-" Hinata could no longer continue as the bell suddenly rang, the guy look at his watch and curse.
"Shit! I don't care who you are just don't cling on me or follow me or anything!" he said as he took off in a flash, Hinata could only watch him go. Then suddenly she remembered that she have to find the presidents office, she sigh as she slowly head back to the building.
OOo
"So you are the one Tsunade was talking about, I just met your cousin not a moment ago, he's a stoic one isn't he?"
Hinata watch as the president go over her papers and can't help but notice the hat and the entire strange garment he's wearing even though the climate is hot. She was a bit surprise when he instantly closes the folder and smile at her.
"Well now as the president I now welcome you to our school. Hey Kakashi, meet your new student, Hinata. This is Kakashi he's your new advisor in class."
Hinata turn around at her back and found a guy with white hair whose face is almost covered in mask, with the exception of the right eye. Kakashi examine her from top to bottom before looking back to the president.
"I guess she's ok. Come, follow me." he ordered as he opens the door.
"Please take good care of her Kakashi, that one is no ordinary little miss." said the president as he give Kakashi a very knowing look. Kakashi could only nod, while on the other end Hinata was having a hard time coping up with what they're talking about.

OOo
"Hey teme! You're finally here!" said a loud mouth blonde as he watch the dark haired guy sat at the farthest seat on the back.
"Shut up dobe! Shit, my head is aching." I must have hit it when I jump off that stupid fence on top of that-
"Got a rough night? I heard from Lee you held a party last night in your house." said Kiba.
"It wasn't me, that dobe suddenly shows up in front of my house with some bunch of guys and started bringing in drinks." Sasuke said as he rested his head on the top of his chair.
"Sasuke-kun~" a pink haired girl suddenly jump on Sasuke's desk and started flirting with him which Sasuke returned with an irritated glare.
"Get the hell off my desk" he said
"Oooh Sasuke! You look tired, want met to massage your head for you? You could rest on my lap." Sakura said as she positions herself in front of him patting her lap emphasizing what she meant. Sasuke look at her with disgust.
"Get the fuck off my desk before I throw you along with it." Sasuke said angrily, Sakura pouted as she gets off the desk and went to her own chair which is just four rows away from his own right at the second column.
"Hey Sakura-chan~! You could massage my head if you want." said the blonde guy happily. Sakura glared at him.
"In your dreams Naruto." Sakura retorted.
"Aww…come on Sakura-chan-" Naruto could no longer finish his sentence when the door suddenly open. They all head back to their proper seat as a tall white haired guy wearing a mask that almost covered his whole face enter the classroom with a long dark-blue haired girl tailing behind him.
"Alright, as you all know my name is Hatake Kakashi your new homeroom teacher and here at my left is your new classmate. Ms. Hyuuga, could you please introduce yourself to the class?"
"Hello, I'm Hyuuga Hinata. Nice to meet all of you." she said as she bow low in front of them. While she was introducing herself, Kakashi was all ready looking around for her to seat.
"As for a seat. The chair beside the Uchiha is empty, you could take that seat. Sasuke could you please raise your hand so that Ms. Hyuuga could see you?" Sasuke glared at him.
"Why should I have to raise my hand when it's so obvious that almost the entire city knows my face?" Kakashi just acted as if he didn't hear that and turn to look at Hinata.
"Your seat is right next to him."
"Hey Kakashi-sensei! How come that girl gets to seat next to my Sasuke-kun while you put me in a farthest reach?" Sakura complained as she glared at Hinata who looks uncomfortable from many glares she got from almost all of the girls inside the room.
"Because, I don't want any of you hitting on Sasuke for the rest of the day. On top of that I don't want to get any complain from any of your subject teacher. Now as your Advisor you should respect my rightful decision because no matter how much you complain or protest I'm still right. Now, Ms. Hyuuga could you please head to your seat" Kakashi said, Hinata was a bit hesitant at first but decided to obey in the end. Nervously she head to the desk beside the guy whose face was quite familiar to her, but she decided to brush off the thought and focus on the present situation she's having.
On the other side, Sasuke was watching her with his half close eyes. He have this strange feeling that he saw her before but thought that it must be because he have this many fan girls tailing behind him, seeing too many faces even for a so called genius like him is too much remember.
In just a matter of seconds she'll be all over me as well, he thought with distaste and with a grunt he look outside the window with his chin rested on his upturn palm.
OOo
