They all arrived at the ramen shop and Liana sat next to Tenten and Gai sensei while Lee and Neji sat on the other side of Gai sensei.

"What would you five like for today," a man behind the counter said.

"Beef ramen for all of us," Gai sensei said.

"Coming up," the man said and left.

"So, Liana, what did you mean by you have not run like you did for some time. You made it sound like that were your life," Gai sensei asked.

"It was," Liana said as shocked looks were on all their faces.

"What were you running from," Tenten asked as she looked at Liana.

"Old thugs from my past," Liana said.

"Were they the ones that made you cry and bleed all over," Lee asked as Liana held her breath for a second.

"You looked at the rest of my drawings, didn't you," she asked as she looked at him.

"Yes and so did Neji," Lee said as she looked at Neji to see there was concern in his eyes.

"Yes, they were the ones but that is the past and I don't want to talk about it," Liana said.

"Liana, your chakra system does not act like it does. It acted like it was about ready to attack us while we were running," Neji said.

"The thugs would attack left and right so my chakra would go where they were like how you saw when I was running," she said.

"I see but how does my father come into the picture," he said as Liana remembered his father rescuing her.

"I think he was the one who saved me from them and then brought me here and I stayed here since," Liana said.

"Alright, let's avoid her past and think about now. It is around the time for the chunnin exams again and I need to get you all into shape," Gai sensei said and the man brought the ramen.

He set a bowl in front of Liana and she looked at the food in it. She grabbed a pair of chopsticks and was about to dig in when the man set a glass of water next to her bowl. She looked at the liquid and saw the image of Hizashi in the water. She ignored it and looked in the liquid in your her ramen to see the images of the thugs were there. She tried to ignore it but then the one thug looked like it was about to come out of the ramen and attack her.

"LEAVE ME ALONE," Liana yelled as she broke the bowl and glass with her fist.

"Liana," she heard Tenten say as Liana looked at her clenched fist and the blood coming from them.

"I-I got to go home, see you all tomorrow," Liana said, paid for her food and broken dishes and ran home without noticing that her book fell out of her pouch.

She arrived at your house and ran inside. She shut the door closed behind her and leaned against the door.

"When will they just leave me alone," Liana said as she walked to her room to get ready for the night.

She walked into her bathroom to take a shower before bed.

Neji's POV

Neji watched as Liana ran and her book fell out of her pouch without her knowing. Neji walked over to her book and picked it up.

"I will take this to Liana," he said as he walked back over to everyone else.

"You sure, she looked pretty upset just now," Tenten asked.

"Yes, she may need this," he said.

"Alright, take it to her and tell her we will meet her at the usual spot," Gai sensei said.

"I will," Neji said and walked away from the ramen shop to Liana's house.
