Naruto was panting inside the Huyuga house with Neji standing behind the door and looking into the pinhole. He was all tense and pale, then after Sakura and Ino left to search another area, turned to Naruto and said "Whoever you are, you better not be our enemy, because if you are I will be killed by the main family!"

Naruto understood. Neji was from a branch family, and his job was to protect the Huyuga house with his life. And also Hinata. "Wait a minute! Hinata is a girl! And if all the other girls are this sticky, what if Hinata…?!"

Naruto's face went pale as when he realized, he may be in the same danger of "attack" here as if he was outside. Neji sat down and looked at Naruto. "You remind me of someone I know. But he is much younger than you, sir." Naruto shivered as Neji called him sire. "I am not that old…well maybe I look older…than him?!"

Afterwards, Naruto told Neji everything that happened to him. Through his story, the Huyuga boy was listening with interest and wonder. When Naruto finished, the only thing that Neji said was "Well, even if it means being chased by girls, that witch-girls you told me about earlier, really made you…well…kind of better. At least you are not such a loser now as you were before."

At that both of the boys laughed and Neji stood up and said "Anyway, be my guest! Do you want some tea? You look really exhausted."

"Yes, if it doesn't bother you."

At that phrase Neji looked at Naruto with shock. "Where is that impolite brat I knew as Naruto? This man is totally different, more…mature. Well, I am going to have to get used to this NEW Naruto."

"Hinata! Would you be so kind to bring our guest a cup of tea?" said Neji and looked at Naruto.

Naruto's face went pale again. "Hinata is home?! And you called her?! Didn't you hear what I said a minute ago?1 EVERY SINGLE girl sticks to me! And I can't do anything about it! There is a chance that even Hinata…"

"No" said Neji in his calm voice "Hinata won't. She is way too shy to even look at you. I bet the spell won't work"

At these words Hinata came in, and asked "What spell are you talking about?" When she saw Naruto, Hinata started blushing and saying "Thi…thi…this is naru…Naruto-kun? Right Neji-kun?"

Naruto was amazed that she recognized him that fast. When he asked her, Hinata just blushed and turned away.

"She is as weird as always" thought Naruto and asked Hinata to put the tea on the table. After she did, Neji said, "I have a very important business to attend to, I'll leave you here alone, is it fine?"

"Yes it is fine…"said Naruto, while Hinata said at the same time "Neji-kun, don't leave me here alone…"

Neji left looking behind as Naruto sat next to Hinata. There was a painful silence. Suddenly Hinata stood up and said "I'm…gon...gon…going to get…get…som…some more tea!" when she was already standing, Naruto suddenly grabbed her hand and said "Don't go…don't leave me…please…"

Hinata suddenly got all red in the face and collapsed at Naruto. After a minute Naruto realized what just happened. "Hinata?! Are you ok?! HINATA?! Talk to me! HELLO!?" but Hinata kept still and silent.

"Why is she like that all of a sudden? I just said I wanted her to stay, because I am afraid that those…vampire women will get me here alone. Oh, well…" Naruto took Hinata and put her on the sofa. "I guess I will just have to wait for…" suddenly a strange noise sounded from outside. As if someone was sewing through the door. Naruto only had three seconds, before the wall was blown up, and Sakura emerged from the hole, grabbed him and pulled him with her.

After half an hour or so, Hinata opened her eyes, and looked around. There were pieces of chalk and iron everywhere. Signs of a fight and a large object dragged on the floor through the giant hole in the wall.

"Naruto?"
