"I'm gonna miss you guys. I'll try to call, text, email, write letters anything to stay in touch, just please don't hate me for leaving so suddenly." I my self was starting to tear up along with my friends.

"We could never hate you" Ino wailed.

"Yeah we'll try to keep in touch with that stuff to" Sakura cried, grabbing my shirt.

"I'll miss you Ten" by now all us girls were crying, even Temari who was crying so hard she couldn't talk. I didn't expect it so my tears couldn't be stopped for fifteen minutes.

"We have to leave now. Bye guys."I called ten minutes later after all the crying. Of course after saying this everyone starting crying again and it took me the rest of my time with them to stop before hugging them and helping Neji with his stuff going to the elevator. I stepped inside after Neji waving to my sad friends as the doors closed, I stopped crying and was trying not to start again. I had just made a whole bunch of new friends and now I had to leave maybe never to see them again, maybe not even to talk to them again. I stayed strong though, I didn't want to break down with only Neji there I was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to make me calm down so I kept myself calm.

We exited the elevator when I realized that we had a huge problem. Since I had flew in a plane then cabbed it the rest of the way here I had no car, so hoping against all hope that Neji had one I asked.

"uhhh Neji do you have a car here?"

"Hn."

"I hope thats a yes because I don't..."he sighed.

"I do have a car but we need the address first come on" he actually dragged me this time.

"Tsunade-sama uhh where are we going?" I asked when we were in her office again.

"Wait one second..."she started rummaging through the pile of papers and found a small piece with what looked like an address on it. She gave it to me, even though I didn't think I needed it since we were using Neji's car I don't think he'll let me drive it.

"Here its about a half hour drive from here. Shizune said that Neji can't drive since he could black out at any given moment, we need to keep you safe. Also Neji needs to get some girl clothes-" Neji glared and Tsunade was unfazed like me and kept going"-you'll pass the mall on the way. I assume that Neji has a GPS so it shouldn't too difficult to find. You need to be there by 8 though thats when it closes for the night." I didn't have time to question this because she just ushered Neji and I right out the door to the parking lot outside.

Neji reluctantly handed me his keys after Tsunade kept poking him, shes strong so after about two pokes he handed over the keys making me laugh at his pain. I"m just like my mother, I laugh at others pain how lovely. I threw our luggage in the back of Porsche Boxster, how I managed this I don't know but I did and there was actually room left I guess it has a bigger trunk then I thought.

I then jumped in the drivers seat and adjusted the mirrors before doing up my seatbelt, the whole time I did that Neji slowly walked to the passenger side hand on the car not taking his own weight. I put the key in the ignition and turned it on, Neji had just opened the door and slowly sat down heaving, I rolled my eyes and reached across him closing the door for him and doing up his seatbelt. For this I got a glare which I promptly ignored and smiled at him before backing out of the parking space and slowly driving away.

I made sure I was going the right speed limit the whole time and driving properly it was nothing like how I normally drove but I didn't want Neji to have a heart attack. We were currently in the mall finding some clothes for him, he wasn't ecstatic about it either. He eventually got some jeans, he complained about them the whole time, some green, blue white and any other ungirly colour he could have ikn shirts and sweaters also some A-cupped bras and ahem panties he had to be a girl after all and girls had to change together in change rooms for gym.

I then remembered that when we had gym I would have to change with Neji knowing it was a boy and blushed he overlooked it as we walked back to the car with some shopping bags. Everything was now in the car and I decided that Neji couldn't keep his hair that way it looked too masculine so I undid it to his complaints then put in a high pony tail on his head. Much better for looking like a girl but Neji didn't like it.

"So whats our story?" I asked as I started to drive again.

"Well we're best friends who couldn't find a co-ed school that wasn't disgusting or to our liking so we wanted to try an all girls school. I"m Keya and you're Kanami." I nodded and focused on my driving. Fifteen minutes later we arrived at a one building-ed school and I had to do a double take of the address realizing that it was right and marching inside with Neji at my side.

When we came back out we had some new things including information. We had a key to our place and school uniforms, how dreadful, but the worst thing was that we didn't share a dorm like at the other school we shared a nearby apartment, that Tsunade had furnished already and given us money for food and whatever else we needed for three months. Meaning I'd need money. Meaning I'd need a job. Meaning I wouldn't be able to watch Neji all day. Meaning I'd have less time to do anything. Meaning I'd be tired. Meaning I'd go to bed earlier. Meaning I wouldn't be able to do stuff I wanted. I'd rather not be tired but if I needed to get groceries or something I guess I'd have to suffer.

Believe me now there were no happy campers, there was now a grumpy Tenten looking for a job and a grumpy Neji making dinner with groceries they had just bought. No there were no happy campers in the apartment a ten minute walk from school that night. They still had one day before school actually started so one more day of free time, which also meant looking for a job most of the day. Oh boy another great day I would be spending my day taking care of Neji and trying to find a decent job also with decent pay, best last day of summer ever. I wish.

"Good night Neji." I called as I started closing his door later on that night.

"Hn." that reply was so like him. And its so annoying! I want to pull my hair out plus I think he does it just to bother me! Who could be so mean! '

'Well obviously Neji can'

'Who are you?'

'I'm your inner.'

'So you're me then?'

'You could say that I guess...'

'ok then so what are you doing talking to me then? You haven't spoken to me before at all not even when I needed help so why now?'

'First I'm not talking to you and-'

'ok thinking to me then'

'Let me finish!'

'ok, ok just don't think so loudly...'

'Anyway I don't like dealing with young immature peopl so I thought now would be fine. I feel bad for Sakuras inner she has to put up with all that omg'-ing'

'Sakura has an inner?'

'Most of your friends do but you better get to bed now, night.'

'Night...me...I guess'

I jumped into my bed after changing and fell asleep, it had been a long day rushing to places getting ready for school. To think our new school had uniforms, Neji and I were lucky that they had shorts and pants not just skirts we both would have killed ourselves.

I checked the clock 9, is there something up with that number lately I keep getting up at that time every day but tomorrow I won't be allowed I hope I don't sleep past my alarm. I'm a very heavy sleeper my house could be on fire and firefighters breaking in the door, sirens outside and I wouldn't move one little bit someone might think I'm dead.

"Good morning Neji" I yawned walking into the kitchen seeing my room mate making something in there, it smelt like french toast.

"Morning"

"Watcha doing?"

"Making french toast, I hope you're hungry" Score one for me.

"I'm always hungry." I grinned sitting at the table that was conveniently next to the kitchen. I hope Neji starts to talk again like when we were kids you wouldn't be able to shut him up I can't believe how long ago that was and how much he changed, I sat gazing at him as he cooked. Wait what was wrong with this picture...Me sitting at the table for breakfast?No. The Tvs on? No. The fan in the kitchen isn't on?No. What was it! Neji in the kitchen?No he cooked last night so he can cook today too. Wait thats wrong. How did he get here by himself, I cleared my throat and he looked at me.

"You don't have any more head aches?" I questioned him.

"No, Shizune gave me some new medicine and she said I can go tomorrow to school." I forgot that he would have to stay home for the first day...oh well hes going now anyway.

"I see, how can you cook so well?" I asked as he placed a plate full of french toast on the table in front of me. I grabbed two pieces and put them on my own plate throwing syrup all over it, Neji shrugged at me.

"A Hyuuga thing. We have to be able to live on our own."

"Hmmm." I had a mouthful of delicious food, it was only so good because I didn't make it I can't cook at all I even burn water...I think thats possible.

By the time breakfast was over I had to have eaten at least ten pieces of french toast, it was an hour later and Neji had only had about five minutes to eat and had only eaten two pieces. Sure he had time to eat more now but he said he wasn't hungry so theres nothing I could do about it unless I decided to shove the food down his throat. I don't care THAT much about him.

"I'll see you in fifteen minutes." I said. He raised his eyebrow asking where I was going.

"To shower." I grinned before grabbing some clean clothes and a towel and going into the bathroom. All the other bathroom stuff that was needed such as shampoo and conditioner were already in there waiting to be used.

Just as I said fifteen minutes I emerged from the steaming room to see Neji watching TV on our couch which was white. Not good considering its me after all and I make a mess when I eat so I guess no more eating and watching TV at the same time anymore how sad.

"Hey, I need to look for a job downtown, you coming?" I put on my sneakers and threw on my sweater.

"Hn." he said turning off the television and putting his shoes on also grabbing a sweater.

"Got your keys?"

"Yup" he jangled them and I nodded.

"Lets go" I started marching out the doors Neji following locking the apartments door before starting behind me close on my heels. We were on the third story and no elevator, don't get me wrong its a nice apartment complex but without and elevator it sucks. So we walked down the stairs taking our time not talking.

I was whistling when we reached the bottom since we weren't talking, no big deal it's something I normally do when I walk. We started to downtown looking for places with Need Help or Hiring sign. It was difficult.

"Hey Neji." I was still wondering why he was coming with me to help me find a job.

"Hn?"

"Why are you helping me with this?"

"I need a job too moron I doubt my family will happily form over money for something as stupid as this."

"Did you ask them?"

"No, what about your parents? They must be quite wealthy to send you to the best school around Japan." good come back Neji. I never thought he had it in him, I was wrong.

"My family had troubles doing this we all had to work including myself and my sister but my parents wanted the best for me and I couldn't refuse they wouldn't let me so I started working to help. My parents didn't approve but it helped so they could be happy about my school, it wasn't about me it was about them being happy about their decisions and to be able to be proud of their daughters."

"Hn." Oh great he's not answering again. I saw a Help sign in a cute little cafe window and walked over to check it out. It looked nice inside and out.

"Excuse me" I asked a woman in a maid uniform.

"Yes, can I help you miss?"

"Is the manager here?"

"You look a little young for the job...how old are you?"

"17." she nodded before telling me to wait for a second, to find her manager. I hoped that I wouldn't have to dress up like that. I turned to Neji, who was waiting outside for me and gave a thumbs up.

"Are you looking for a job here then?" a voice said from behind me. I turned to see a young woman maybe 26 years old standing there.

"yes ma'am"

"Ok then follow me for an interview then." she started to a back room, I waved to Neji before following.

"I got the job." I was happily talking to Neji as we started looking for a job for him. The interview went smoothly and was only fifteen minutes shorter then I thought it would be but I'm not complaining I didn't want to wait around that long answering unimportant questions. The only bad thing was that I did have to wear the uniform, but the pay was good so I didn't mind.

"So are you going to be a boy then?For your job I mean."

"Hn."

"Yes?"he nodded.

"Ok, how about there?" I pointed to a small shoe store with a hiring sign. We went to see, looked inside and ran, old men and women were standing there doing nothing, how boring. Five minutes later I saw a small coffee shop and pointed that out as well.

Neji went inside and came back out with a bag.

"Whats in there?"

"My uniform." he smirked.

"Great now we both have jobs and not far away from each other perfect. When do you start?"

"Tomorrow, four so enough time to go home get something to eat then head out here. I work everyday except Saturday and Sunday."

"Cool me too, when does your shift end?"

"9"

"Same, looks like we can walk to and from work together." I was grinning and humming on our way back home it was now 12:30 so Neji made macaroni and cheese as he called it for lunch. I called it K.D. But he didn't argue so it was no fun.

"What are we going to do for the rest of the day?" I asked while shoving food into my mouth, making the boy across from me roll his eyes.

"Nothing."

"Relaxation, good just what I wanted peace and quiet." I finished eating and brought my bowl to the sink putting it in gently, a small pile of dishes was building up but I thought to do them after supper.

I flopped onto the couch and grabbed my book that I had left on the mahogany coffee table, reading in peace. I of course had a kunai up my sleeve and my baby panda stuffed animal beside me together we took up half the couch. Neji must have joined me on the couch after eating because when I looked up from my book he wasn't in the kitchen or at the table, but beside me. I frowned at before finishing my chapter.

Slam.

I closed my book, making Neji quickly turn his head to look at me instead of our balcony. I grinned then turned on the TV. Nothing was on so I went to my room and grabbed a movie, I put it in the DVD player then flopped on the couch again.

"?"

"It's Underworld."

"Hn?"

"A movie about vampires and werewolves pretty awesome there are three of them." I was smiling innocently at him. After the first one the second and after that one the third.

"How does that work?" Neji asked when it was over. I shrugged in response and got up to put the disk back in it's case. Neji stretched then went to the kitchen to make supper, he pretended that he wasn't interested in the movies but his eyes wouldn't leave the screen even when I got up to make popcorn. I didn't know he could like things let alone like something so much that his eyes were glued to it, no distractions enough to make his eyes move.

We had chicken parmesan that night for supper, something my mom had always made, also one of my favourites but ,don't tell her this, Neji mad it better. I sighed happily after finishing and stretched before stalking off to my room to practise my moves. By that I don't mean dance or flirting or whatever I mean using my weapons and fighting skills.

I had a target set up on my door, throwing kunai and shuriken at it from the back of my room hitting dead centre every time. Just as I let go of a kunai, my door swung open.

"DUCK!"I yelled. They moved with seconds to spare.

"What are you doing?"

"Practising with my weapons want to join me Neji?"

"Nope just wanted to see what all the noise was coming from your room, I found out the hard way by opening your door."

"Whats the easy way then, knocking?"

"Byakugan." suddenly veins popped out of his forehead and around his eyes.

"What does that do?"

"I can see through anything with it and have 360 degree vision." he didn't say it in a perverted way but seeing through everything meant clothes so I smacked him upside the head.

"What?"

"Don't look through clothes got that?" I growled, he smirked at me.

"I can't see through clothes they put something in it thats impossible for byakugan or any other thing like it to see through clothes."

"I see, anyway it's late I'm going to bed goodnight." He stood there staring at me, the perv.

"That means you leave." He still stood there. Is he really a prodigy? I sighed and pushed him out the door closing it behind him.

I put on my pjs, set my alarm for seven then jumped in my bed. It took me forever to fall asleep that night, I guess I was kind of excited to have a new life, new job and new school. I wasn't thinking about my friends but they were in my mind I had talked to them earlier that day. It was impossible for us to go even one day without any communication, so I guess I'll be really busy, school was starting, work was starting and talking to my friends for at least an hour was starting. I was really going to be worn out at the end of each and every day I hope my nine hours of sleep each night will be enough.
