It was dark and cold. A murderous intent was in the air. Neji ran along the sidewalk, checking behind him to make sure he wasn't being followed. If the others ever found out that'd he'd been there tonight, they'd kill him. He shouldn't have gone there, but he couldn't help it. He was sick and tired of doing nothing. Sitting around and waiting wasn't his style. Taking action was the only thing he could do. He also felt better that Hinata was away, so he knew she was definitely safe. He ran across the road, past the street Naruto lived in. He hated Naruto's area as it was really rough.

"NEJI!" he turned at the sound of his name and saw Naruto and Sasuke walking out of Naruto's street. He stopped running and waited for them to catch up with him, before they all walked along together.

"Why where you running?" Naruto asked, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Just running home," Neji lied, not looking them in the eye.

"Where from?" Sasuke questioned, obviously not believing Neji.

"I just went for a jog," he said, trying to throw off the subject. They continued down the street, in no actually direction but they just walked. "What are you two up to anyway?" Neji asked, curiously.

"We're off to Sai's. Sakura and the other are going there, want to come too?" Sasuke replied

"Sure," Neji muttered. He didn't mind going to Sai's, he'd just be a bit disappointed Tenten wasn't there. The girls had been gone for four days now and Neji was sure missing Tenten. It was weird because it wasn't a feeling he was used to.

"What do we have here," all three boys halted and turned at that. They looked behind them to see three other boys approaching them and they where oh to familiar.



"What do you want, Orochimaru?" Sasuke snarled and the older male. That's who was standing there. Orochimaru with Kimimaro and Sakon. They were smiling evilly and the three boys snarled. They hated the stupid trio as they where their rival gang.

"Nothing, just passing by." Orochimaru replied. He had a huge smirk on his face that made Neji fell sick. "Oh, by the way Neji, did you have a good visit today. Tayuya just rung a minute ago and said she saw you at our base earlier." Sasuke and Naruto gaped at Neji.

"You went to their base?" Sasuke asked. He had a very angry look in his eye.

"So what," Neji replied. He was sick and tired of being told when to act and when not to. He wanted to kill Orochimaru. "I want that basted dead!" he pointed his figure at Orochimaru, a death glare in his eye.

"Oh, Neji's still angry about that old incident. By the way, how is Hinata? I've actually been meaning to see her again some time." he smirked when he said this, loving the reaction he got from the others. Neji was just about to retort when Naruto ran at Orochimaru. Sasuke grabbed him arm before he got too far away and tried to hold him still.

"STAY AWAY FROM HINATA, YOU STUPID EVIL FUCKING BASTARD! TOUCH HER AND YOUR DEAD!" They were all surprised by Naruto's reaction as his face was red with angry. He was moving madly, trying to get free. Orochimaru chucked menacingly.

"Well well, I didn't expect that. I thought Neji would be the one having a go, but I guess I was wrong. Is Hinata special to your Naruto? Well, let me tell you she has a most amazing body. I normally don't like cubby girls, but Hinata's boobs definitely make up for it." This time Neji tried to ran forward, but Sasuke had to grab him too. He was trying to hold them both away. Neji knew he didn't have a gun or even a knife on him, but all he wanted was to rip Orochimaru apart. How could he talk about Hinata like that? Especially after everything he's done to her. He was such a basted and he really deserved to go to hell. He'd ruined nearly all Neji's friend's life. Why was a human being like him alive?

"Neji, Naruto, don't. He's not worth it. He' only doing it to make you react like this." Sasuke yelled at them, pushing them back. Neji calmed down slightly and tried to control himself. Sasuke was right.

"Well anyway Neji, Kimimaro said that he saw you with a girl. Rather unusual isn't it?" Orochimaru continued as if there'd been no interruptions. "He said she was quite good looking too, although she did have a very flat chest, but skinny. Nice brown hair. You girlfriend Neji? Maybe she'd like to join my one day like your cousin."

"Touch Tenten and you're going to hell," Neji snarled, knowing it was her they were talking about. "You've put enough of us though shit. She's done nothing to you."

"Yes, but neither did Hinata. Well excepted be related to scum like you. And to think if you hadn't hit me that one time, then nothing bad would have happened to her. But now she's not just your cousin, but someone Naruto seems to have affection's for. This Tenten's lucky she's only involved with you. If she was related to any of you, especially that scumbag Sai, then she'd be dead in an instant. Oh, that reminds me. Would you pass a message on to Sai for me? Tell him next time we meet, face to 

face that he's a dead man." Orochimaru smirked, as if they were friends, before turning and walking in the other direction. Neji, Sasuke and Naruto all stood there fuming.

"I hate that guy so much," Naruto hissed. "To think he had the cheek to talk about Hinata like that." He looked down at his hands sadly. "I wish he'd never touched Hinata. It makes me sick." The other two boys looked at their friend, but were unsure of what to say. It was clearly obvious that he had feelings for Hinata and to know that an evil basted like Orochimaru touched her was definitely sickening.

"Guys, I think we should hurry to Sai's," Sasuke sighed. "We should tell him what Orochimaru said. He's going to have to pay extra attention to Tenten's safety. And now we think about it Ino's too." The other two nodded and all three of them headed in the direction of Sai's house.

Sai and Ino sat on the sofa, Ino with a pen and paper in her hands. She was making a chart of all their birthdays within the group, so they wouldn't miss anyone out.

"Right, Sai-san this is the order it goes in." She said happily, after just finishing. She'd obviously need his help with the boy's birthdays. "First this mouth was you, who was 18 on September 5th. Then me who will be 16 on September 23rd, tomorrow. After me it's Naruto, who will also be 16 on October 10th. Next is Hina, also 16 on December 27th and after her Tenten will be 16 on March 9th. Then it will be Sakura also 16 on March 28th. Then Itachi, June 9th and will be 18. Then Neji will also be 18 on the 3rd of July. Sasuke next will also be 16 on July 23rd and last is Temari, who will be 18 on August 23rd." Ino smiled pulling the pad away from her face, smiling bright. "This way we can remember every ones birthdays." Sai smiled and lent forward, kissing her gently.

"This is a really kind idea." Ino blushed slightly looking back at her pad. She frowned in confusion.

"Sai-san, why is Neji going to be 18, but only in his first year of 6th form?" she asked, looking back up at her older boyfriend.

"Well, he took last year off to train in material arts." Sai replied, giving Ino a squeeze. He had his arms wrapped around her waist and she was sitting on his lap.

"You know Sai; this year is everyone's 16th or 18th, that really special. I'm sorry I missed your birthday." Sai again kissed his girlfriend, this time on the cheek.

"You know, Ino while Itachi, Temari and Sakura are out, you can make it up to me," he smirked seductively, pushing Ino onto the sofa, so he was lying on top of her.

"Come on Sai, they'll be back soon," Sai silenced her with a kiss. She returned it and it soon turned passionately. Sai held Ino's face in his hands as he kissed her. She had her arms around his neck.

"Want to go upstairs?" Sai asked, as he pulled back. Ino blushed, but leant up and kissed Sai anyway. Just then they heard the door open.

"We're back," Itachi called, from the kitchen and Sai sat up, sighing in annoyance.



"Guess we'll have to continue later," he muttered making Ino laugh. The other walked in, followed by Sasuke, Neji and Naruto. The three boys seemed extremely pissed.

"Hey guys," Ino greeted, clearly unaware of the tension the three boys held.

"What's going on?" Sai asked, staring at the three younger boys. Itachi sighed, before replying.

"Don't know, but they said they wanted to talk to me and you alone." Sai nodded and turned to Ino.

"Mind going up stairs for awhile?" he asked and she shook her head. "Okay, go watch T.V in my room." She nodded, kissed him gently, before getting up and going up stairs with the other two girls. Sai turned and started at the boy's as them came and sat down on the sofa. "What's going on?" he asked. Him and Itachi waited eagerly. Naruto took a deep breath then explained the whole thing.

Itachi and Sai didn't talk during Naruto's explanation. They didn't ask questions or say anything. Actually they didn't seem to react in the slightest. When Naruto finished, there was a heavy silence in the air. Sai was the first to talk.

"Neji, why did you go there?" he asked. His voice was filled with angry, but it was obvious that he was trying to cover it up, which he wasn't doing too well.

"Because I'm fed up with waiting. Letting them take the first move, while we sit around unprepared. Sai, he threatened to kill you."

"He's go a point," Itachi agreed, which surprised them all. "We should surprise attack them, or they'll always be the one with the edgy."

"Perhaps, but we're not ready at the moment." Sai said, taking a deep sigh and placing his head in his hand.

"Don't you think we should be more concerned about the girl's safety then our own? We brought ourselves into this mess, but they didn't. Hinata and Tenten have no choice, but to be involved, but Ino, Temari and Sakura don't have to. If they found out that Ino was dating you Sai, they'd kill her, just like they would if they found out Tenten was your sister. We can protect her by saying she's Neji's girlfriend, but Ino isn't as easy. I think it's just selfish if you continued going out with them three." Everyone was quite after Naruto's words. For once the dope had actually talked some sense.

"I'll sort it out," Sai muttered. He had his head bowed so no one could see him. He was sad at the thought of not being with Ino, but Naruto was right. It would be damn right selfish if he dragged her into this mess.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Everyone was busy talking and having fun. It was kind of sad for the boys because it may be the last time they spent time like this with the girls. None of them wanted to dump them, but they had to. Everyone was watching as Ino and Temari did Neji and Itachi's hair and makeup. The other boys found it hilarious that they'd been picked and were laughing at how uncomfortable they looked. Sai sat alone, watching and laughing too. It was funny watching Itachi protest against what Temari was putting on him and her slapping his hand away. Sai thought that Neji seemed to have given up trying 

to fight back. He just sat and allowed Ino to apply all this different stuff to his face. She looked really happy.

"Sai," he turned at the sound of his name and saw Sakura had come over. He smiled at her as she sat next to him. "Sai, I was wondering what you got Ino for her birthday?" she asked.

"I got her a necklace. It's a pink and silver pig, you know cause of her name." Sai replied and Sakura's face dropped. "What, is that not something nice?"

"No, it's not that, but I'm not sure if Ino likes the fact that her name means pig." Sakura replied and Sai clapped his hand on his head.

"Of course, I'm such an idiot." He said which came out more like a mumble.

"Don't worry I'm sure she'll love it. She probably just doesn't like it when I call her Ino-pig," Sai laughed.

"Can you blame here?" Sakura shook her head.

"Well, anyway, me and Temari though that we go all go camping next weekend, once Hinata and Tenten are back. I mean, I know Naruto's birthday is soon, so we could kind of kill two birds with one stone."

"Actually, that would be a great idea. Me and Tenten haven't been camping in years and we both really love it."

"Great, we'll have to tell the other's." She ran back over to sit next to Sasuke and obviously started telling him about the plan. Sai was kind of excited, until he realised that it probably wouldn't happen.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Everyone had gone home, except Ino, who was sitting next to Sai on the sofa. She was staying the night and then Sai would take her to school in the morning.

"Ino, can I give you your birthday present now?" he asked and Ino nodded happily. "Ok, but you probably won't like it."

"Why won't I like it?" Ino asked, confused and Sai just handed her the box.

"Just open it," Sai muttered. Ino did and her face lit up when she saw it.

"Sai, it's beautiful, thank you!" she hugged him. "Why did you think I wouldn't like it?"

"Cause Sakura said you don't like the fact that your name means pig," Sai replied, feeling rather embarrassed. Ino giggled, taking the necklace from its box.

"Well, I don't like it when she calls me Ino-pig, but I like pigs. Their cute." She handed Sai the necklace. "Please put it on," Sai took it and placed it around the neck. She smiled in satisfaction. Sai decided that now was probably the best time to break up with her. When she was happy.



"Listen Ino, I really need to talk to you." She looked at him, with a big smile on her face. "I don't think we should go out any more." At this her face immediately dropped.

"What, this is a joke right?" she asked and Sai shook his head.

"I like you, I mean I like you a lot, but we shouldn't be together."

"Why?" Ino asked, totally confused. He'd just given her a beautiful necklace and now he was breaking up with her. It just didn't really add up.

"Ino, being with me is too dangerous. I'm involved in things that even Tenten doesn't know about and us being together puts you in danger." He looked at her in the eye's and took her hands in his. "Someone wants me dead and if you're with me, then they might hurt or even kill you to get at me." Ino looked really shocked at what Sai was telling her.

"What are you involved in?" she asked. Both worry and curiosity in her voice.

"I can't tell you, but I don't want you to get hurt." Sai replied. He felt like such a prat but being in this gang was something he had to do. He had to do it for himself, but more importantly to him, his mother and father. He would make Orochimaru pay for what he and his family and done to Sai's own family.

"Sai, I don't care." Sai stared at Ino as if she was crazy.

"Do you know what you're saying?" he asked. "It's dangerous." Ino shrugged.

"Sai, I don't care. I like you more than I've ever liked any other boy, even if we haven't known each other long. So it'll be dangerous, but I'll be careful and what's life without a bit of danger." Sai smirked and wrapped his arms around Ino.

"You don't know what you're getting into, but I promise I'll protect you, because I too have never liked someone as much as I like you. Your very special to me Ino and I'll make sure no one hurts you." Ino nodded and buried her head in Sai's neck. Sai knew it would be dangerous for Ino, but if she was willing to take the risk, then he would protect her. God he'd protected Tenten for 2 years and Orochimaru's gang didn't even know about her. One more person wouldn't hurt.
