Neji pulled himself to his feet.

Again.

He was getting tired of getting swatted away like a fly. He couldn't land a single hit, and the demon gave no sign of when he'd actually block. Sometimes he'd allow the Hyuuga close, other times he rushed the Hyuuga and knocked him on his ass before he could move.

He scowled at the demon made teacher and thought carefully on his next attack, activating Byakugan and watching for any subtle shift in the demonic ...chakra. No, that was only partially right. Chakra didn't move on its own like demonic energy did. Instead of following paths, it freely roamed in and around the body, thus there was no way to block it off, instead, he had to just deal with the fact it was there.

It was only moments before he realized.

"Naruto..." He murmured and Kagome smiled.

"So you saw? Yeah, Naruto is special." Kagome said, off to the side, elbows resting on her knees as her hands held her cheeks. "I wish I were older, I could have been assigned to be his mother. But, as luck would have it, Iruka gets to be daddy. Lucky duck."

Neji blinked, his eyes catching the demon's. A smirk was on the demon's features.

"He has passed." Sesshoumaru said, a clawed hand tossing hair over his shoulder. "Wench, take your mate home."

Kagome blushed. "Sesshoumaru-sama he's not.."

Sesshoumaru glared. "You lie. You smell of him."

Kagome's blush darkened. "We've not yet mated by human standards, Sesshoumaru-sama." A single brow lifted and Kagome stood with a sigh. "We've been lovers for about a year, however, that does not make us mates by human standards. Much like kitsune, sex is something some use as entertainment, we are not necessarily bound to our partner like you inu."

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed at the human male and his nose lifted into the air. "Disgraceful."

Neji crossed his arms, glaring right back full force, though the demon was rather powerful, he'd not have his relationship with Kagome referred to in such a way. "I have every intention of marrying Kagome-san when the time is right."

Sesshoumaru's glare lessened in strength, though the male ran a clawed hand through his own locks again, a sign that he was annoyed. "Indeed."

Kagome shrugged, walking over to Neji and pulling his arms out from their crossed position to hold his hand in hers. "If you'll excuse us, Sesshoumaru-sama, I have yet to fill him in on what HEN is."

Sesshoumaru nodded, watching as the couple left the room quietly. He had to prepare himself to visit this new Hokage, with the hopes that the previous one thought to pass on his knowledge.

Kagome pulled Neji behind her excitedly, pretty much racing to the room to put her uniform back on. Neji watched with hooded eyes and a rapidly hardening cock, knowing she was too excited about showing him her secret life to want to take care of it.

It was alright, he'd have more fun in the bath later.

"Okay, so, out there you have to refer to me as Moon." Kagome said, pulling on her mask and pulling in enough chakra to straighten out her hair. "You'll be known as Shine, simply because you're taking my partner's spot." Kagome walked over to Neji, pulling his mask over his face. "Wear this at all times once we leave the room, no matter what, the only people who know our faces are our team mates."

Neji nodded and stood, following her as she made her way to the window, and out of it. They stood for a moment, on the wall that stood around Konoha's border. "Shine, from now on, you'll regard what you see before you as your territory. This forest, surrounding our home, is ours. Any Hostile Entity in this forest, you must find with your eyes."

He activated Byakugan and scanned the forest, shocked to find a couple demons. "Two of them." He whispered, zeroing in on their location.

Neji soon learned his position on her team. He was their eyes, only one of two able to detect demonic presence on their team. The other was Iruka, Naruto's would be father.

Sun and Moon were the team leaders; Sun's team was compromised of Rain, and Cloud, Moon's team was Shine and Snow.

Sun happened to be Inoichi Yamanaka, Ino's father. He was the team's strategist. Rain and Cloud were Iruka Umino and Kotetsu Hagane respectively. Kotetsu was the one who would stall and confuse their enemies, as most lower ranking demons would be immediately fooled by Genjutsu.

Moon, was, of course Kagome, who took care of extermination. Snow was Izumo Kamizuki, and his job was defense. If it looked like Kagome would be taking a hit, it was his job to lessen the blow in any way possible.

Neji noted that the others masks were even plainer than theirs, completely white with gas masks underneath.

When the question was brought up Iruka Umino gave an uncharacteristically long rant about how it was unfair, he was the one dealing with Naruto, he should have been the one to undergo training with the demonic teacher, but no, only those Sesshoumaru took personal interest in got the training, and so far those people consisted of Kagome and Neji.

Neji felt a bit honored, knowing this.

However, the feeling wouldn't last.

After a couple days of training with Sesshoumaru, Neji Hyuuga felt cursed. Sesshoumaru was a strict and harsh teacher, often randomly turning from their training to launch an attack at Kagome. Kagome, herself, could barely evade the attacks, and could only land one hit on Sesshoumaru every couple hours.

Neji went home with muscles screaming in pain and a bruised and battered ego every night. However, he was starting to last longer, vastly improving his stamina.

This in itself, was highly pleasing.
