Disclaimer: well, there isn't anything that you probably don't already know. I don't own NARUTO, Kishimoto does; let me just say he is a genius for creating it. I'm in English Honors so I hope I don't disappoint my teacher by grammar errors. He treats like adults; takes the time to yell at us if our essays aren't "Honors" English material. Blah! Any ways, once again I don't NARUTO ((EMO CORNER OF DISPAIR!)), the only thing I own is the story plot and the computer I am writing this on. Here it is and hope you like it.

As I walked down the hall, I noticed people staring.

They had a reason to stare; they hadn't seen my in awhile; couldn't wait to see my cousin's reaction and my old friends.

In fact, I think they didn't even notice me. I don't think anyone really noticed.

I think mostly because of my appearance.

My short black/purple hair had grown, my eyelashes stood out more… I had developed in places I use to be ashamed of; what didn't change was my eyes. Of course I couldn't change my family's mark on me; the slightly lavender pupil-less eyes would never change.

Wearing a jacket for cover in my Elementary and Middle School days, people didn't know what I really looked like. Was I skinny? Fat? They only people who really ever knew was the kids they called the Rookie Nine.

The Rookie Nine, were known as the best of the best in everyone of their classes in middle school. Were so good they were even offered a pre-college scholarship to Kage University. I felt glad that I was at least apart of that.

I hated this place; all the people who laughed at me behind my back. They once called me an angel, but now I'm a fallen angel; I'm ready to set the chaos in Shinobi High.

Word travels fast so I have to be cautious with what I do. Don't want people getting the wrong impression of me do I?

He doesn't show up until 5 minutes before the bell on Mondays, if anyone should know it would be me.

Like I said word travels, so I didn't surprise me that when I turned the corner I was staring at eyes mirrored to mine.

Neji took my arm and lead my though the halls; him not caring about the murmurs and stars unlike me. He checked for an empty classroom behind pulling me in after him.

Locking and closing the door, he turned toward me, "When did you get back?"

"A hour before school." I answered, knowing better than to piss off Neji.

"Why are you here?" he relaxed a little.

I turned and perched myself on top of a desk and motioned for him to sit next to me. When he refused I took it as a cue to continue. "Well... Brother, I couldn't stay from the place I was raised for long, could I? Traveling takes a lot out of a person, I needed time to refresh myself."

"You're sounding like a rich spoiled brat. What happened?" Neji asked, leaning against the wall; arms folded and a smirk slightly graced his lips.

I tilted my head down, my bangs covering my eyes, "You know what happen."

"Your right... I do know. So, what are you planning?"

I smirked, "I never remember your asking so much questions before. Why so sudden?"

"Cousin goes off after her longest friend and ex destroys her from the inside out? Why shouldn't I? So, what are you planning?" he pressed.

I met his eyes, "I don't know and, frankly, I don't care."

"Be careful. I'm not going to have to hunt somebody down, am I?"

"Not yet, brother, not yet... but soon." I stood up. "First period is Business, right?... Of course Hyuga Prodigy."

The bell rang making both of us tense up for a moment. He unlocked the door, turning back to me before opening it, "Are you sure your ready for this? It's a big step."

"Neji, let me figure it out. This is my time, and my problem... His problem, more like... Let's go, its getting to... UGU!" I said walking past him into the halls old friends that have yet to be surprised.

Author Notes:

1) it's a short chapter. Lina doesn't short chapters but I had to cut it short so my co-writer and I can finish the rest.

2) yes, I'm co-writing with one of my best friends. She is a genius. Also in band and English Honors, but she's not in my class. She's a little self-conscious about her writing. Her twin and I and her cousin always have to push her to finish the gold she write… Even though I hate (not really) she's probably a better writer than me.

3) we finished our English end of level testing and next up is Math. Ugu, I love math, I do, but I totally suck at it.

4)Still any ideas on who the couples should be because I'm cutting in pretty close to introducing them.

5) Oh, and thank to KAWAII-HIME (hope I spelled that right, doing it from memory) and CherryOnTop for reviewing. My co-writer and I loved your enthusiasm.

6) I'll try to place some Sakura bashing, I might leave that up to Heartless-Psycho (co-writer) I'm into drama, romance, tragedy and comedy, but I give the Miss. McK promise.

7) Miss. McK Promise means a lot to me and my friends. I still need to write her, she just got back from a mission.
