Liana was walking out of the building when she looked up to see both Lee and Neji were watching her and Tenten leave.

"Tenten, do they always watch when you leave," Liana asked.

"No, not really you must have some type of charm on them," she said.

"Yeah right, like I have that sort of charm on boys," Liana said.

"You might," she said.

"Alright, how do you run one hundred laps around the village," Liana asked.

"Don't know, I just do, keep a good breathing motion and just keep running. Either way you will end up exhausted except for Gai and Lee. It just fires them up for another hundred laps," she said.

"How do they have all that energy," Liana asked.

"I guess they were just born with it. Lee is so fast that he has to wear ankle weights," Tenten said.

"That fast, wow, so what are everyone's techniques," Liana asked.

"Well I use weapons from the scrolls that I carry, Lee uses only Taijutsu and Neji uses his Byakugan. You heard of the Hyuga clan," Tenten asked.

"Yeah, I heard about them. Is he of the main branch," Liana asked.

"No he is of the other branches but is as powerful as the main branch. What is yours," she asked.

"Ink techniques that I make up on my own, I normally have small containers of ink as a belt around my waist and around my neck as a choker but I figured I would not need them today," Liana said.

"Ink, that is very different," Tenten said.

"Yeah and unique too so I know many will not expect it," Liana said.

"So, where exactly do you live," Tenten asked as they stopped in front of a building.

"This is it. I live in an apartment on the top floor. I'll see you around Tenten," Liana said as she walked to the door.

"Yeah, see you for training oh and be sure to eat a light breakfast," Tenten said.

"Alright, thanks for the heads up," Liana said as she walked inside the building and closed the door behind her.

She walked up the flights of stairs to the top floor. She was almost at her door when someone ran into her and knocked her to the ground.

"Man, you alright," someone asked as she looked to see it was Naruto.

"Hey Naruto," she said as he offered a hand.

"Thanks," Liana said as she took it and he helped her up.

"So, how is your new squad," he asked.

"Different and very energetic, we will be running one hundred laps around the village tomorrow," Liana said.

"Great, well I'll be on a survival exercise that has a 66% of failing," he said.

"Have fun with that, see you around," she said as she walked to her door across from Naruto's.

Liana walked into her apartment and closed the door behind her. She walked to the kitchen to get something to eat and finally settled on some ramen. She heated up some ramen and walked to the table so she could eat and draw. She drew Lee and Gai sensei together on one page both striking the same cheesy pose. She colored in their dark hair and bushy eyebrows. She finished the drawing and decided to draw Neji sitting the way he did next to Lee and another one of him when he was watching her leave. She finished both drawings when she looked out the window to see the sun was starting to set. She left the book and pen on the table and walked to her room.

"Time to get ready for bed," Liana said as she changed into boxers and a tight tank top that formed her every curve in the right places.

Liana slid under the covers and fell asleep preparing for the nightmares to come.

Nightmare (continued)

The figures threw her into the water and she struggled to stay above the surface.

"Let's go, I think some ninja are coming," one of the figures said as they all left.

"HELP, SOMEBODY HELP ME," Liana yelled as water splashed into her mouth and she went under the water.

Liana kept trying to swim up to the surface but just kept sinking and sinking. She gave up and accepted her fate to the water. She was about to close her eyes when she saw a man with pale lavender eyes above her in the water. He grabbed her around her waist and swam up to the surface with her tight to him, making sure not to let her go.

End Nightmare

Liana woke up clutching her throat again and thought of the man with the pale eyes.

"H-He had the same eyes as Neji but looked older," she said and got out of bed.

Liana looked out at the window to see the sun was still not up. She walked to the kitchen table and started to draw the man from her dreams.

"Is this man related to Neji," she said as she looked at the finished drawing to show he looked a lot like Neji with the pale lavender eyes, long black hair neatly kept and his skin was so clean but the man had something green on his forehead like some sort of mark in an x pattern.

Liana picked out a green bottle of ink from the small rack of inks next to the table and colored in the mark on the man's forehead. She set the picture down and looked out the window to see the sun was starting to rise.

"Better get ready," she said as she walked to her room and got changed into clean clothes that looked like the ones she wore yesterday.

She wrapped her headband around her forehead while she was walking back to the kitchen. She ate an apple, closed the book and put it in her pouch. She has a pouch to make it look like she have weapons instead of ink.

"I will ask Neji if he knows the man," Liana said as she threw the core away and walked out the door.

Liana walked to the veranda where she met everyone and saw Lee was there.

"Hey Lee," Liana said as she walked up to him.

"Hey Liana, you ready to run," he asked as she sat next to him.

"Ready as I'll ever be," she said and yawned a bit.

"Is something wrong," he asked.

"No just a rough night," she said.

"Why," he asked.

"Nightmare about my past but this one really surprised me," she said.

"Why," he asked as she pulled out her book and flipped to the drawing of the man that looked like Neji.

"Because of him," she said as she showed him the drawing.

"Is this Neji," he asked.

"No I don't think so, he looks older," she said as he nodded.

"He certainly looks like him, maybe they are related," he asked.

"Maybe, they have the same eyes, skin and hair," she said as he flipped through the book to the drawing of him and Gai striking the pose.

"This is truly genius, the way you capture the poses are amazing," he said.

"Thank you, I thought you would like the drawing," she said as he flipped through the other drawings until he stopped on the one where Naruto kissed Sasuke.

"Did this really happen," he asked.

"Yes, a kid bumped Naruto, the blonde, into Sasuke. He was standing on the desk inches from Sasuke's face," Liana said.

"This is amazing because this pose lasted only for a short time yet you were able to capture it," he said as he kept flipping through the pages.

"Yeah, I got it from my mom. I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be back," Liana said as she left for the bathroom.

Lee's POV

"She truly is an artist," Lee said as he flipped through the book but then he came across some drawings that looked like her.

"What the-," he said as he looked closely at the drawings to see they were all Liana, crying in a corner, drowning and many other torturous images that must have happened to her.

"What is it, Lee," Lee heard Neji say as he sat next to him.

"Look at this," Lee said as he handed him the book showing an image of Liana with tears and blood all over her.

"Who is this," he asked clutching the book.

"I believe these are all Liana and everything she draws happened. This must have been her past," Lee said as Neji flipped through the many torturous drawings of her and closed the book.

"Lee, do not tell her we saw these drawings, she probably does not want us to know about them," he said as Lee nodded.

"Yes but there is one picture you must see," Lee said as he opened the book.

"Lee, I do not want to see anymore of Liana in torture," Neji said as Lee stopped at the drawing of what looked like Neji.

"She wanted to show you this," Lee said as he showed Neji the drawing.

Neji's eyes grew wide and he grabbed the book from Lee's hands.

"Do you know who that is," Lee asked.

"Yes, this is my father but how does she know him," he asked.

"She said she had a nightmare last night with him in it. I think she draws her nightmares but I do not know why," Lee said as he saw Liana was coming back from the bathroom.

Liana's POV

Liana was walking back from the bathroom when she saw Neji was holding her book to the drawing of the man with lavender eyes.

"Neji," she said as she walked up to him and sat next to him.

"How do you know him," he asked as he pointed at the man.

"He saved me when I was drowning. I saw him dive into the water to save me. Who is he," Liana asked.

"This is my father, Hizashi Hyuga," he said.

"Oh, can you take me to him so I can talk to him about my nightmare," she asked as she saw him clutch the book tighter.

"No, you or anyone else cannot," he said as he handed the book to her and walked to the other side of the veranda.

"How come," she asked as she walked up behind him.

"He is dead, Liana, what else should I explain to you," he said as she went silent.

"I am sorry, Neji," she said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Don't be," he said as she took her hand off of him

"Just know this, Neji. Your father saved me from myself and I think of him as my hero. I accepted my death then but he saved me and I am sure he can save you now even being dead," Liana said as she walked away from Neji to Lee.
