When they got back, Gin's chakra had left Kagome, and it seemed as if her messy hair was beginning to just get messier the angrier she got.

"So?"

"Come with me, not many even within the family know, Kagome-san." Neji said, walking towards his room. Kagome followed, ranting a bit at him as they neared his room. When he walked inside, she paused.

It wasn't like when she was more of a cat. This was a boy's room. This...was taboo. This made her nervous, and a little scared.

Would what happened with Kiba happen again?

"Kagome?"

She looked up at him and shook her head of the thoughts. No, he wouldn't do that to her. Slowly, she followed him in and he closed the door.

"Kagome-san, I'm going to tell you this only one time, and only because I have decided to trust you." His eyes turned towards her, and he sat down on the bed, a hand running through his hair. He almost cursed when he realized he had left it loose, not even tying the end as he usually did.

"Koi-sama?"

"This is difficult, Kagome-san, bare with me a moment." Neji said, as he never talked to anyone about it, even his father, when he was alive. "My mother..was in infiltration training around the time she turned sixteen, much older than you. Infiltration training, for women, is... much worse than for men."

"You sexis-!"

"Listen. I'm not being sexist, I'm being truthful!" He snapped, angry. "Do you know what you must do as an infiltration nin?"

"Gather information on the inside, duh."

"Your job is to be able to endure the harshest of situations, whether you are under cover as someone's mistress, or endure rape." He snapped, standing suddenly. "My mother does not live here for a reason, Kagome. I was an unwanted child, a product of her training. My uncle is still currently part of the training program, as well as others from prominent clans. It is not certain which, but one of them will be told to ambush you, rape you, attempt to break you."

His eyes were hard as his voice became deadly quiet in anger. "And you want to go through that?"

Kagome swallowed, her mouth dry. "Neji...I...don't know if I can back out..." Kagome whispered quietly, and Neji walked over to her, placing a hand on her head. She was shaking, suddenly. It was expected, she was still young, as he was, but she hadn't known what kind of world she had been about to step into. She'd almost, willingly, come close to sex with Kiba, even though they were young, and just that scared her. To be raped? To be violated like that?

"We'll talk to the Hokage tomorrow." He murmured and she nodded, staring at a random wrinkle on his shirt as she thought.

He saved me.
