Hi everyone! Welcome back for the third chapter of Opposites Attract: A Neji Hyuuga Love Stroy! First of all, i'd like to thank all of you for reviewing/favortiting/alerting this story! I love you guys! And sorry for the ever so late ish update! I'll try to keep up, but school, and this huge ass stack of books on my nightstand and all that somewhat keep me a bit busy, but fear not! The story must go on!

I do not own Naruto in anyway shape or form...except for my mangas and posters...those are mine.

Let me tell you something folks.

Life sucks.

Yeah, don't go all apeshit on me, I do realize that I happen to complain somewhat a lot about my life sucking. But hey, it's true. And if you were in my predicament, wouldn't you feel the same?

What kind of predicament you ask?

Well, right now, I was promptly slamming my head against a tree, while a little pig-tailed girl pulled at the bottom of my capris pants- all the while bawling her eyes out as Gai scared the crap out of her sprouting nonsense about the power of youth, Neji passed out on the ground, Lee drunk, and Tenten pinching the bridge between her nose.

...Let's rewind a bit now shall we?

I sighed, shaking my head at Raika. Who was currently grinning like a huge idiot as he flirted with two girls, whom squealed at his presence. We were taking a stroll- due to my brother's persistence that I was a total bookworm that needed to get out way more often- down a slightly busy street, when Raika had spotted two girls he for some reason just had to talk to.

I tapped my foot impatiently as he finished off the girls with a wink, the brunette fainting and falling into the other girls arms. He walked over to were I was standing, in the shade of a tree- it was actually a very pretty tree by the way- with a smug smirk on his face.

"I'd like to see the Hyuuga kid top that." Raika smirked, throwing an arm over my shoulder and steering me towards gosh knows where.

I rolled my eyes at my twin before replying, "Yeah, i'm sure no one can compare to your undeniably 'awesome' good looks."

"Damn straight."

I facepalmed and Raika let out a bark of laughter, attracting the attention of a few passing bystanders.

Yeah...just keep on walking by bystanders...keep on walking by...

Though, I was a little glad that Raika convinced me to get out of the house instead of being as he so called it, 'an antisocial bookworm with no life'- which I was totally not by the way. Because in all honesty, i'm sure everyone just needs to get out of the house sometime.

Of you don't know how badly I regretted saying that.

"Hello Natsu! Isn't this such a youthful day today?" a familiar spandex wearing boy spoke, suddenly appearing out of nowhere in front of me and Raika- who promptly gave a startled screech that sounded very close to a girl.

"Hi Lee." I sighed, forcing a small smile at my fellow teamate- and most likely the only one I didn't want to strangle...on occasion...

"Gai-sensei has sent me to get you! It seems wse have a special training mission today!" Lee said in a voice that sounded like he was on a sugar-high, "Come! We must not waste any of our youthful time!"

"Lee, as much as i'd-" I was cut off ever so rudely as Lee grabbed my arm and yanked me out of Raika's grasp, and took off at a speed that should not be possible for a human being.

"Lee...have I ever told you how much I hate you?" I scowled at the green spandex clad boy who smiled sheepishly.

We we currently standing infront of a little, pig-tailed girl whom had apparently gotten lost from her mother, and would not for the life of anything, stop crying.

Right, so Lee was runnig at the speed of an inhuman being, when suddenly this little girl came out of nowhere- everyone seems to be doing that lately huh? and latched herself onto my leg...why me? I have absolutley no freakin clue.

She was now wailing about how her mommy was gone, and she was all alone. Feeling my heart go out to the poor girl I picked her up and craddled her in my arms, she was probaly what..no older than five? And gave Lee a stern glare.

"Alright Spandex boy, you've somehow gotten us into this weirda- weird butt mess." I quickly corrected myself, "So what do we do now?"

Lee had a thoughtful look on his face- wait what? When suddenly he broke out in a smile filled with bright white teeth.

...no comment.

"I know! We should go see Gai-sensei! we were supposed to meet him anyway, and i'm sure his most glorious youthfullness will be able to help us out!" Lee said strongly, and I rolled my eyes- thankfully the little girl had stopped crying to be left looking at the spandex boy in slight wariness...

...Smart kid...

"Lee, I don't think that's a very-" I started but was once again cut off as Lee suddenly grabbed my arm and sped off, with poor me and the little girl in tow.

God dammit.

"Who is this youthful little girl?" Gai questioned looking at the little girl who was hiding behind my legs, perring over the side warily.

Awww...

"Why did you bring a little girl here in the first place?" Nejio inquired as if I was mentally ill.

Freakin bastard...

"She's so cute!" Tenten cried cooing at the little girl who giggled in return, and mumbled something that sounded along the lines of 'panda' or 'mouse' I think.

"What is your name?" I asked the little girl softly and she looked up at me with round blue eyes.

"I'm Masuki!" she chirped happily, all signs of weariness gone from those wide blue eyes.

"Why were you lost?" I continued, truely curious as to why anyone would leave their chlild all alone on a busy street.

"I don't know..." the little girl sniffed, wiping her eyes, but obviously trying not to cry, "I was just standing there, because my mommy tolds me to wait for her, but then she no come back!" she cried out, breaking down into tears.

I flinched at the high pitched sound, and then thought over what she said...her mom had told her to wait...aw shit.

"Aw sh- man! We're freakin kidnappers!" I groaned as realization struck me.

"Idiot." Neji scoffed and I glared at him.

"Shut it Hyuuga, this is sooo not the time for you to start PMSing-"

"Excuse me? I'm not the one who brought a child to-"

"Hey! Don't you pin this on me! Lee was the one-"

"Tch, it'd be just like you not to take responsabilities for your actions-"

"Oh you did not just go there-"

"GUYS!" Tenten shouted exasperated, "This is not the time to be fighting right now! We have a little kid with us, and we need to figure out what the heck we're going to do!"

I gave a quiet 'fine' while Neji replied with a 'hn'. Masuki was giggiling wildly, obviously finding our argument hilarious.

Yeah, laugh it up kid, laugh it up.

"I'm sure with the power of youth we can figure out what we need to do with this little girl!" Gai proclaimed loudly, and we all flinched at the loudness of his voice.

"Hmm...maybe we should-" Lee started but was cut off suddenly at Masuki's question.

"What's this?" she asked curiously, suddenly pulling out a scroll hooked to my belt.

"Oh, that's just something I use to summon my swords." I answered nonchalantly, taking the scroll from her and pocketing it.

"Your a sword specialist?" Tenten asked curiously and obviously shocked.

"Yeah, but-"

"This is indeed a youthful discovery!" Gai-sensei beamed, "We must test out your skill-"

"I'd really rather not-"

"Nonsense! We'll schedule a training later on! Buit now we must focus on this little-"

"What's this?" Masuki questied again, suddenly pulling out a jug from one of Gai's pockets- wait what the hell?

"Ah! You must be very careful with that!" Gai shouted, looking almost fearful, "This is something that must be handled with delicate care-" he was suddenly cut off as he promptly tripped on a rock.

Yes, a rock. And fell forward, the jug flying form his hands and we all watched with wide eyes- except Neji who is apparently to cool to do somethikng like that- as it sailed over our heads, the top flying off, and landed in Lee's mouth.

And Lee drank it all.

I mean, what are the odds of that happening?

Lee's cheeks turned red and he started swaying back and forth, we all looked at the green boy warily, and suddenly Lee let out a battle cry and started chopping down trees.

What the crap?

And the bottle that had contained the odd liquid promptly flew off of him, and landed smack dab on Neji's forehead, promptly shattering, and knocking the boy out.

Gai got up and started shouting something baout how youth would save us all, scaring Masuki and causing her out burst out in tears. Me and Tenten just stared- still shocked that the almightly Neji had been knocked out.

After a few second I burst out laughing, falling to the floor and clutching my chest at the lack of air. Tenten looked at me shocked, then at the drunk Lee, to the youth sprouting Gai, and sighed, pinching the bridge between her nose and shaking her head.

I actually felt bad for the girl.

But after my laughing fit I looked around and the situation also dawned on me, Lee had gone farther on his mad drunk ramoage and was now uprooting the trees instead of smashing htem, and threw them in random directions. Masuki's wails got louder and I slammed my head against a tree.

Now do you see why life sucks?

Okay...that was absolutley random and made no sense...even to me... I honestly have no idea why I just typed this chapter...yeah... Masuki is a random character that I have introduced, and she may or may not play a important part latter on in this story- which probaly won't be very long, maybe 20 chapters at the max or something. It'll just be random training session/plot developments/missions, all leading up to the end... which I have yet to decide what will happen.

Anywho, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter anyway! All I ask is that you review! review! Review!

Marshmellow-

-OUT!
