A/N: I'm sorry for not updating the story in..what? three weeks! My internet has been down and I've been working on my manga along with schoolwork, and my sudden inspiration for another story, which I will post up as soon as I'm done with Chapter 1. And, to make up for my absence, I'm giving you two chapters!

Hinako Blushes! Beware the Byakugan!

I have been trainging with Gai-sensei and Lee for a long time now. Gai-sensei made me wear these weights on my legs to help increase my speed, but it was taking me forever to get anywhere. I noticed I was in an empty alley and felt this cold chill.

"Saaaarrraaaaaffuuuuuuu..."

I turned around to find Mr. Kyo with a grave look on his face. "You're training with another teacher aren't you?"

"No, of-of course not! I-"

"Who is it?"

"No one."

He pulled out a kunai knife. "Who?"

"Gai-sensei."

Suddenly, his dark face dropped and turned into shock. "WHAT! YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH HIM! THAT LAMO!"

"Don't say it that way, it sounds weird."

"I'll say it anyway I want!"

"Oh, would you look at the time, I gotta go eat breakfast!"

"Its 3 o'clock!"

I ran off. Now, all I had to do was find Hinako and get her to let me use the dragon of time. I ran around for about 20 minutes before I finally found her with Neji. "Sorry to interrupt your date," I said smiling suspicously at Hinako who blushed, "but I need to talk to Hinako privately for a couple of minutes." I led Hinako over to the side and began to speak with her in hushed tones.

"Hinako, I need your help. Remember that bet I made with Kiba at the party a couple of days ago?"

"You mean the party where I spiked the punch?"

"It was spiked! No wonder I had a headache. That was dangerous! Lee was there! We're just lucky he didn't drink any. Anyway, I need to use the Dragon of Time, to get some more training in."

"Isn't that cheating?"

"He never said I couldn't."

She sighed. "Well, I guess, but you'll need to do something in return."

"Like what?"

She glanced over at Neji and then back at me. "Help me get Neji!" She blushed.

"How? Its not like I know a love potion or something."

"Just do some spying. Find out what he likes, hates, everything! I would try to do it, but my information finding skills aren't that great."

"But this is Neji! Anyone's skills would be crap against him! He's got the Byakugan!"

"That's for you to know, and for me to find out after you tell me. And if worst comes to worst, don't tell him I ordered you to. If you find out some good info, I'll let you use the Dragon of Time."

"But that's like...an impossible mission! I don't think there is anything he likes. I can tell you a lot of things he hates right now."

"I could tell you that! I've been around him longer. Don't you think I would figure those things out by now? Find out the foods he likes and stuff. Just observe him for a while. Okay? I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine!"

"Fine, but you better let me use the Dragon of Time before the Chuunin Exam."

"I will."

I left and decided to go ask around before I did any actual spying on him. I asked Lee, TenTen, and even Hinata, but nothing helpful. This guy really didn't get out much. Why did Hinako have to like such a boring guy? I decided to go and look into the Hyuuga manor. Today was a busy day, so maybe there wouldn't be that many people there. When I arrived there, I hid in a nearby tree. I bit my thumb, and summoned, Gonko. He was a very small dragon, about the size of a salamander. He was perfect for spying. "Okay, Gonko," I said in low tones, "I need you to go and find out everything you can about Hyuuga Neji. This is the Hyuuga manor, just over there. I'm sorry I can't give you any more help, but that's pretty much all I know about too. I'm gonna go in there disguised as a Hyuuga. Ready?"

Gonko nodded and then slithered off toward Hyuuga Manor. I put my hands together and said, "Transform!" I transformed myself into Hinata. I leapt off the tree and walked through the main gate. How would Hinata act? I've only talked to her twice, but from what I gather, she's very shy, and not on too good terms with her family. All I've got to do is act quiet. I pulled my arms together and tried not to stride too confidently. I was in what appeared to be the courtyard when a little girl came up to me and said, "Hinata-niichan, what are you doing here? I thought you had a mission to do?"

Oh, crap! "Uh..umm...we finished it." I twiddled my fingers. That was a nasty habit I had when I was nervous.

Apparantly, Hinata must've had it too, because the little girl sighed, "Hinata-niichan, you must have been a burden again."

Jerk! How dare she be so mean to me! I'm older than her! I calmed myself down and stuttered, "Uh...un..."

Luckily, she walked off, and I went on ahead of her. Phew! I hope I don't run into anymore people. For the most part, the house seemed to be empty. I occasionally saw someone, but they barely acknowledged my existence. Hinata must not have been very respected in her house. I was in a hall and all the doors looked the same. How was I to tell which one was Neji's? Someone passed by me, and then turned around and said, "Hinata-sama, what are you doing here? This is the Branch Family Quarters."

Oh! I remebered! Hinata said something before about her being from the Head family and Neji being from the Branch family. "I-I was just looking for Neji-niisan. D-Do you know where he is?"

"I haven't seen him, but you might wanna try his room at the end of the hall."

CHA-CHING! "A-Arigatou."

I walked towards the end of the hall, and tried the door on the left. I knocked, first, of course. When no answer came, I opened the door and looked around. It was a simple room, nothing in particular. I looked around for some sign that any of these belonged to Neji. I found the calender I gave him up on the wall, and knew for sure, that this was his room. I saw a shelf with a couple of books on shuriken training, and other stuff you'd need in the Academy. They looked old and not very important. I saw something sticking out from under the bed, and I knelt down to look at it. I nearly laughed, when I saw it. Who ever would've thought that Neji liked BoA! He had one of their CD's. No wonder he tried to hide it under the bed. I put it back and then searched around some more. Everything else was in perfect order. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I walked out of the room to find myself face-to-face with Neji. I froze. How was I gonna explain this? He stared at me. "Umm..um...Neji-niisan, I was just looking for you."

"What do you want?"

I began to sweat. What did I want? I began to twidle my fingers. "Ummm...do you know where...umm...father is?"

"How should I know? But more importantly, why were you in my room?"

"I was just looking for you, so I thought I'd look in your room."

He squinted at me. He was on to me. "Didn't you knock? If no one answered then I was obviously not there."

"U-umm...I-I forgot?"

Now he proceeded to glare at me.

"T-Thank you, f-for y-your help, Neji-niisan...uh..I need t-to go now."

I then walked as fast as I could away from him. He must've kown by now. I'm sorry Hinata, if I get you into trouble. When, I finally found my way out of the manor, I was so stressed out, that I undid the jutsu and breathed heavily. "That was close."

Gonko slithered up into my hand. "I didn't find out much," he squeaked silently, "but I know that he likes radishes. That's all I could find out about this guy."

"Thanks, Gonko. That's plenty. You're dismissed."

He gave a salute and the poofed away. I then ran as far away from Hyuuga Manor as I could. I needed to find Hinako to give her the scoop. I found her at home, and told her everything.

"He likes BoA?"

"Yup, but from the looks of it, its a big secret. If you got him, there newest CD, he might be surprised at first, but then he would trust you with the secret. And then he would trust you with more secrets, and then he'll begin to treat you differently than everyone else, making you special."

Hinako smiled. "Yes! Good job, Sarafu. And you're sure he likes radishes?"

"Gonko's information is never false."

"Well, then, I've got our date planned out already. Good work."

"So,...can I use the Drgaon of Time, now?"

"After I see how the date goes. If your information is wrong, I won't just not let you use the dragon, I'll kill you."

I gulped. Crap! "Well, then...we better hope it goes well, then...uh..."

She smiled and then walked away. Maybe I should transform into Neji...nah, she would see with her Sharingan.

"Damn your all-seeing eyes!"

"Yessssssss..." Came a dark voice from the alley behind me.

"M-Mr. Kyo, what a pleasure to run into you here..." I backed up slowly.

"You were supposed to train with ME today. Where were you?"

"Umm, doing some training of my own."

"Wrong answer!"

He chased after me, and I ran. What a horrible day. When I finaly escaped from Mr. Kyo, it was about time for Hinako's date. To make sure it went well, I decided to spy in on them. They were sitting at a lovely candle-lit dinner in Hinako's apartment. I peeked through the window.

"When you said you had something for me," Neji said, "I didn't think it was dinner."

"Oh, its not just the dinner, Neji-kun," Hinako said slyly. I saw that they were having white radish stir fry. My stomach grumbled. I hadn't eaten dinner. I tried to control my cravings and continued to watch. Hinako sat down and ate. She tried to start conversation, but she couldn't get any good replies out of him. Finally, she took out a package and gave it to Neji.

This was it, the moment of truth. Neji opened it quietly. It was BoA's latest CD. He stared at it for a while and then looked up at Hinako. "What is this?"

"Its BoA's latest CD. I heard you liked them, so I thought I'd give you their CD."

"Who told you that?"

"Ummm...Sarafu did."

That punk! She's ratting me out.

"So it was her then. Well, I'm sorry to inform you that I do not like BoA. I've never even heard of them. And, Sarafu, since you're here, might I ask how you came to this conclusion?"

Crap! He saw me! I tried to sit there as quietly as I could. I could feel Hinako's hot glare in the back of my neck. I was dead.

"You saw the CD under my bed, when you were pretending to be Hinata, weren't you? That wasn't mine. My little sister, and my cousin were fighting over it, so as punishment, I hid it in my room."

"Oops!" I squeaked.

"SAAAARRRRAAAAFUUUUUU!" Hinako growled.

"Eep!" I ran away and Hinako chased after me with her scythe. "YOU MADE ME LOOK LIKE A TOTAL MORON! I"M GONNA CHOP YOU INTO PIECES!"

She chased after me all night, and part of the next morning. Why was everyone chasing me?

...to be continued.
