I plopped onto the couch and stared at the wall. For what seemed like hours I sat there in thought but in reality it was mere minutes. Neji came and sat next to me with a comforting smile.

"Don't worry Kira, we'll get through this…" Neji said with reassurance, although he didn't look to calm himself. A small smile danced on my trembling lip as I looked into my brother's lavender eyes. My red eyes glossed over with tears and pain. Neji hugged me tightly and I fell asleep in my brother's arms that night as I worriedly waited my troublesome destiny…

-The Next Morning-

"Kira, Kira wake up," I heard a comforting voice say to me. I opened my eyes and saw my brother looking down at me. I smiled up at him and hugged him tightly, completely forgetting about the pain and misery of yesterday. "Come, I have to walk you to our new home." Those words hit me like a rock but I kept a strong face on.

"Hai Neji-san!" I squeaked out with false joy. Neji looked at me worriedly but shook it off. He smiled at me with trembling lips and lifted me onto his back. "What're you doing Neji-san?" Neji smiled at me.

"Just rest Kira-san. It's not that far to the Uchiha compound and you need your rest," Neji said softly. I nodded and grabbed our bags. I tossed them carefully onto a wagon and held onto the handle with charka strings. Although it's not normal Hyuga jutsu, I loved using puppet techniques, it's so much fun. Neji smiled at my creativity and started to walk out of the house and outside into the cold morning air. I hugged tightly onto my brother and set my head on his shoulder, burying my face in his sweet smelling hair. I fell asleep on my brother's back as he walked through the Hyuga compound and out its front gate.

Due to the fact that the Hyugas and the Uchihas are somewhat rivals they are on opposite sides on Konoha, thus making it to where we had to cross the entire town to get to our new home. Half way through town I woke up and jumped off of Neji's back, which shocked the shit out of him.

"Your turn to rest!" I chimed happily. Neji looked at me like I was crazy. He knew I wouldn't be able to carry him on my back but I had a better idea. I set Neji down in the wagon, which I made have more room and attached more strings to it. I skipped down the road as if I wasn't pulling anything as I hummed to myself. A fake smile danced upon my lips as I skipped. I could tell Neji was worried, because I was acting way different then normal, and smiling in a terrible situation, but he knew why.

Suddenly it hit him that he was sitting in a wagon being pulled by his baby sister, how embarrassing. I smiled, knowing the reason he was mumbling to himself.

"Almost there Neji-san!" I sang out. I needed to mask this pain, and I did ok with it, at least I hope so. "Oh my gosh! Hi Hinata-san!" Neji looked up with curiosity. He must not of been expecting to see Hinata out and about.

"H-hey K-kira-san," Hinata stuttered out. I smiled at her and kept skipping. I heard Hinata stifle a laugh, probably because Neji was sitting in the wagon.

"Don't worry Neji-san! At least it's not the afternoon where everyone is awake and able to see you!" I chimed. I looked back to see Neji smile at me and laying his head on his knees. He's so tired, I'll tell Hokage Tsunade that he needs rest before work.

Another few minutes passed as I made my way to the Uchiha compound, making sure to walk carefully as to not disturb my sleeping brother. I could see the gate to the Uchiha compound and I smiled weakly, not letting tears escape my eyes.

I walked through the arch and up to the Uchiha guards.

"Oh look, it's a freak…" one said aloud. My head dropped, knowing he was right. "I'm just kidding girl. You and this boy must be our new family members from the Hyuga clan." Family member? Whoa… I nodded and smiled at the two men. "Well come on in, the chief is waiting for you to tell you which family you are to be helping. Yours and your brother's duties start tomorrow. Lady Tsunade doesn't expect him until then." He motioned to a semi-large building and I nodded with a grateful smile. So welcoming…

I swiftly walked to the building, carefully pulling the wagon behind me. Knocking on the large door I smiled softly as another Uchiha opened the door.

"Hello, you must be Kira, and that boy must be Neji. It's an honor to have you both here," the man said with a smile. I smiled back. "Could you wake your brother up please so we can discuss your new living arrangements?" I nodded and walked over to Neji.

"Neji-san," I whispered. "Neji, you must wake up my dear brother, we are at our new home, our new… life." I choked out the last word and with that Neji opened his perfect lavender eyes and looked into my thought to be evil red eyes. Neji quickly jumped out of the wagon and landed next to me.

"Well, please come inside you two, you may leave your belongings out here, nothing will happen to them," the man said as he motioned for us to walk inside. We sat down on very comfortable chairs, much better then the stuff we have at the Hyuga compound, and listened intently to whatever the man had to say. "Well, first thing's first, welcome to the Uchiha compound. We are happy to be welcoming children such as you. A family here was over-joyed to adopt you both when they found out that you two were being put up for adoption. Also you both are a top rookie of your graduation, that's just pure amazing."

"Um, sir, if you don't mind me cutting in," Neji started. The man nodded for him to continue. "What do you mean we were put up for adoption sir? Lord Hiashi said that we were a payment for the Uchihas help they have given us. He said that I was sent to work with Hokage Tsunade and that Kira was to be a maid."

"Lord Hiashi said that to you? Well you are going to work for Lady Tsunade, Neji-san, but it's on her request, not Hiashi's. Lady Tsunade wanted a trained ninja to help with very important missions and she specially requested you Neji-san. Oh, and Kira, you were adopted, not traded to us as payment. Hiashi said it was of utmost importants to have the both of you adopted and an Uchiha family immediantely jumped on the offer," the man said with a smile. We both nodded and we both actually smiled. Finally, out of the place that shunned us.
