AN: More insanity. I have no idea why this makes me laugh so hard. Maybe because I have two very serious chapters to my other ones being written.

()()()()()()

The first time my twin showed what he was destined to turn into was at the playground. We were six now, or three. I'm starting to get used to the double year as a year. Want to know what I'm not used to? Everything else.

Lee and I were practicing racing each other because the other kids were quietly ignoring us. Well, we were in traditional attire that showed we weren't many generations from Konoha and kids don't usually like the unfamiliar. Who cared about them. Lee was always game for running. I really didn't like it but I was a competitive person in my last life. This one? For some reason I swear it's now in my blood that I cannot let a competition go. It explains so, so, so much.

Now because Okaa-san is working with me on my chakra control I can even the playing field just slightly by racing Lee with tiny little flickers of Chakra in my legs. Because they are short and stubby and puffy traditional pants are wretched to run in. Lee is a monster baby already and can huff and puff and plow as if he was a bull.

"Best five out of six!" He bellows and shoving my bangs out of my face I breathe out holding up a hand as I catch my breath. I can already run and do things that my old body wouldn't have even tried. We're like a whole other alien species!

"Who's winning?" I tilt my head, my large gray eyes staring into Lee's black ones as he pauses.

"I forgot to count!" Lee wails and suddenly I'm in a tight hug as my twin babbles.

He's hilariously cute and I laugh, a little more at ease. In this at least my 'unfair prior advantage' serves me well though I pace myself by using Lee as an example. "Let's start over!"

"Yes!"

Seriously he's infectious with his enthusiasm. We begin running again. At some point our Tou-san scoops us up without warning and plops us down on a blanket that came out of nowhere because the man is a freaking ninja.

Not that I am complaining because it's pretty cool and I now have food in my hands. Lee is eating his carefully, both of us fully aware (thanks to many lectures from our Tou-san) that our natural use of chakra when exercising means we must eat fully and well to replenish so that we can both ensure neither of our coils shrink. I'm pretty sure it's just using the one thing he knows we both don't want so we eat the food he made. I love our Tou-san, I didn't really have one before, but he cannot cook. At all.

Apparently Kaa-san wasn't available. The burned and slightly over salted rice is a pretty good sign. He also brought us dango though which he doesn't even think to remove off the skewers for us. Ninja do not have ideas of 'sharp and dangerous keep it away from kids' I've noticed.

The dango is delicious and I savor it slowly. When Lee is done, he waits for me. It's something of a tradition for us after we eat something with a sharp object to then try and impale it in the nearest target. Our Tou-san watches both of us fall short of the nearby tree only a few feet away and then lectures us on proper wrist flicking.

Ten-Ten showed us a trick so this we can actually do, but I had gotten Lee to be sneaky with me. Because throwing the dango skewer damaged them our Tou-san pulls out a few more.

Double snacks.

Ninja's are weirdly awesome parents.

The next time we celebrate our birthday grandma insists we walk around with invitations to give to all the children we find. Of course, it becomes a competition. I'm practically forcing them on everyone though at least I'm smiling and explaining it so most of mine get accepted.

Lee?

Come on. It's my twin. He's almost hitting people how hard he's handing them over if he's not bowing and scaring them with his intensity. To be honest though, I wouldn't change him for the world. He's the loud and obviously intense one, and what's left of my bookworm life before has me persuing it in my own way. Team RockStar all the way!

…..

..Okay. Apparently the ninja is a crazy person is infectious even at this age. I just made such a terrible pun and as no one here speaks English they'd never even understand it. It's something in the water or the air or something. Tobirama doing an epic troll from beyond the grave.

Maybe I'll start blaming him for everything.

The red invitations are rather pretty, with gold plum blossoms on them and I've noticed that if I approach a parent with a child, the parent takes one look at the Lee crest and smile widely. They soon then assure us they will be there. Sure enough when I flip the invite over it mentions in small print that for all parents there shall be celebratory drinks.

Clever.

Now let it be said I'm fully aware these are going to be the best years of my life. I know for all I didn't keep up with the show that days of insanity are likely ahead but it gives me a strange confidence. I have no guarantee of survival, but I have already died once. Not that I remember it. So when next I see a clan symbol of my twin's future rival.

Well I can say I am fully aware it's my funeral.

"Pardon me, Hyuuga-sama." I don my best sugar wouldn't dissolve in my mouth smile and approach the identical wall of pale robes, dark hair, and why aren't you blind instead of super visioned without eye pigment. Bowing I hold out the invitation.

Like I need to explain myself. Nope, the card does that for me.

"..."

Heavy silence. Dudes. Really? Looking up at them I get out of my bow. "I know there are children my age in the compound and I did not wish to leave them out. Would you let them know they and any of the clan who wish to attend are invited?"

I swear I know what's coming next.

"Are you inviting the entire village?"

"Well not the Uchiha."

The heavy silence is even funnier and they have no idea I'm about to troll them. So. Hard.

"My Tou-san has said they don't know how to have a good time."

I'm so making this up but there's a faint snort somewhere back in the pack of Hyuuga wall and one finally takes the invite.

They dismiss themselves with little identical head nods and walk off.

They forgot to ask if anyone else would be inviting the Uchiha. It just wasn't my job to do so. Lee got to mess that one up on his own.
