A/N: Before I start this chapter, I would just like to thank those who reviewed. Especially Morwenna, your review made my day! I'm glad that you like my story! And as for your answer to the question, I've never really listened to any of those songs. But I'll definitely be sure to check them out. And for English not being your native language, you're pretty good at using it. Anyways, just wanted to say thank you. Now to the story!
*knock knock*
"Who is it?" Akane asked from her bed.
"Um, Koji." Koji said, opening the door to her room. From where he was standing in the doorway, he could see Akane studying scrolls.
"What is it, nitwit?" Akane asked, not taking her eyes off of the scroll.
"Um, well, you know how I've started training with Mom and all, and she says I'm doing good, but I'm not so sure about that…" Koji trailed off.
Akane finally looked up from her scroll, confused. "Oh? And what does this have to with me?" She asked.
"I was wondering if maybe… you could help me…?"
Akane was shocked.
"Are you implying that I'm better at using weapons than Mom is?"
"Um… maybe."
Akane sighed. "That's impossible, no one is better than Mom is. Why do you think people call her 'The Weapons Mistress'?"
Koji thought for a moment, before answering. "Maybe because before she got married to Dad, her last name meant 'weapons' and she was a princess, and so she was the 'Weapons Mistress', princess of weapons…?"
"You just made that up didn't you?" Koji nodded in shame. "Ok how about this, when everyone is out training together, and you seem to be having trouble, I'll give a few pointers, ok?" Akane settled.
"YAYYYYYY!" Koji leaped from where he was standing and onto Akane, knocking her scrolls out of her hands.
"Get. Off. Of. Me." Akane's voice dripped with venom. Koji screeched and jumped back from his sister.
"CHILLLLDREEENNNN! FOOOOOOOODDDDD!" Tenten shouted from the bottom of the stairs.
Koji gasped. "Yes! The call for food makes my stomach ready for the incoming edibles!" Akane just looked at him like he had 5 heads.
"What the actual heck is wrong with you? I'm so telling Mom and Dad you said that." Akane said, laughing. Koji just sighed. "C'mon, you need your 'edibles'."
With Neji and Tenten
"Do you think our children will ever be normal?" Tenten asked.
Neji stared at her for a moment before looking back to the dinner table. "Nope." Moments later, the two spotted their children entering the kitchen, and noticed a huge smile on Akane's face and a pout on Koji's.
Tenten leaned close to her husband. "Did they switch personalities or something?" She whispered.
Neji shrugged. "Akane, why are you so happy?" He asked aloud.
"Ok well," Akane stopped talking to laugh. "Sorry, it's just that," She started chuckling very loudly. "Koji said something really weird upstairs." She nudged Koji in the side. "Go on, say it."
"Fine." Koji then repeated what he had previously said upstairs, but without the enthusiasm. By the end of it, Tenten was chuckling along with her daughter, and even Neji cracked a laugh.
"Well guess what? We have some 'edibles' for you right over there on that table." Tenten pointed over to the dinner table with four place settings. Koji instantly regained his usual smile, and ran over to the food. Soon, the others had joined him, and began their dinner.
About half way into dinner, Akane, made conversation.
"So Koji said another thing that made me laugh today." She said.
"And what would that be?" Neji turned his attention towards his daughter.
Akane smirked at Koji before continuing. "He said that Mom wasn't the best at using weapons." Koji sent Akane a death glare, and both Neji and Tenten dropped their chopsticks. They then burst out into laughter.
"That isn't what I said! I just said it would be nice if there were two people training me in weapons. I'm not doing that great." Koji said.
"Koji you're doing just fine, but is there someone you had in mind?" Tenten asked. Koji pointed to Akane. "That's fine with me. Akane is a close second when it comes to weapons in my opinion. What did you say about this Akane?"
"I said ok, but maybe we should wait until after the Chuunin Exams. They're in 3 days after all." She pointed out.
"Ah, that's right. How's your training coming with your team? Do you think you're prepared?" Neji asked.
"Well, I can still kick Miki's butt, as usual, fights always go well sparring always goes well between me and Raiden," Akane paused when she saw Koji and her mother wiggling their eyebrows at her. Akane glared at them before continuing. "And Nori-Sensei says we're all doing very well. So yeah. I think I got this in the bag." She finishes confidently.
"Well it's good to know you're feeling confident about it." Tenten said. Neji nodded his head, agreeing.
"But, if it all possible, can you maybe tell me about your experiences in the exams? I want to be as prepared as I can." Akane said.
"Sure. Why not?" Tenten smiled.
"…And that's the day we found out Shino had bugs inside his body." Tenten said.
"I've known for a long time that he had bugs inside him." Koji piped up. "Even now he uses his bugs to spy on us in the Academy. He said he stopped a long time ago, but we all knew he didn't" He scoffed.
"Shino-Sensei did that to you guys, too? I thought he only did that to my year! Something about us being 'his favorite class'." Akane said. "Well anyways, was that the last story from the preliminaries?"
"Yes. Alright, I'm going up to bed." Neji said. He got up from his seat and started to make his way upstairs, thinking he got away.
That's what he thought.
"Wait! Dad?" Crap. "What about your round? You didn't tell us about your match." Akane said. Neji went stiff.
Tenten instantly noticed Neji growing tense. He still had yet to turn around and answer his daughter. "Maybe a different night. It's getting late, isn't it?" Tenten said, trying to spare Neji.
"It's only eight." Koji pointed out. "What's going on?"
Neji finally moved from where he was, and took a step backwards, spinning to face his family. He sighed before speaking. "I guess it's finally time I told you two." He walked back to his original seat and sat next to Tenten, clasping his hands in his lap.
"Tell us what?" Koji asked.
"About my match." Neji started. "With Hinata."
Akane and Koji looked a little shocked. "Well I'm sure it couldn't have been that bad, right?" Koji said.
Neji stiffed a laugh. "Actually… I almost killed her."
Koji and Akane looked awestruck, to say the least. Tenten just shot an apologetic glance towards Neji.
"Dad, it's ok, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to." Akane said.
"No, you two were bound to find out eventually. I might as well tell you now." Neji sighed.
"Well it started out like this." Neji started. "Hinata was on the field talking to her teammate, Kiba, who had just lost his match to your Uncle Naruto. I however, was watching from the stands, while glancing over at the match board, seeing who would fight next. I honestly didn't think I would have to fight Hinata, my own cousin. But back then, well, I guess you could say I didn't like her much." Akane and Koji already knew all about the curse marks and the death of their grandfather. They had walked in on Tenten and Neji talking about it once and got curious. "Well anyways, we preparing to fight, and me being the guy I was, I told Hinata to forfeit the match, saying there was no possible way she could beat me. I just expected her to do what I said, but she fought anyways, saying she didn't go back on her word. So we did end up fighting for a bit. She even tried fighting when all of her chakra points were disabled." Neji said. Akane and Koji were regretting their decision of brining the topic up, but were still curious.
"What… what happened then?" Koji asked.
"Hinata said something about our family, -I don't really remember what- but it made me furious. So, out of my own rage, I lunged at her, prepared to kill. But luckily, all the Leaf Jonin spectating the match stopped me before I could do so. Unfortunately she had been so badly injured, she went into cardiac rest. Her Sensei had managed to get the medics before anything serious could happen." Neji finished.
"But… you two seem to get along fine now. What happened after that?" Koji asked.
"Well, I had moved on to the 3rd round of the Chunin Exams. My opponent…was Naruto." He said. "Naruto had beat me, and I was sent to the infirmary room. And later on, Lord Hizashi had come to speak to me. He told me the truth about what really happened to my father, and I started seeing everything differently."
"A bit later," Tenten said. "I came to his room to check up on him." Akane instantly looked happy and cradled her own face in her hands and put her elbows on her knees. She may act tough, but she just loves love. "We talked and your father mentioned about he saw the world differently. But then we noticed something was off. The entire arena had gone silent. We had told you about what happened right?"
"Right. The Sand betrayed us, helping the Sound." Akane said.
"Correct." Neji said. "In all the chaos, Hinata had been captured by Hidden Cloud Ninja, hoping to learn the secret of the Byakugan. Your Mother, Kiba, and myself had gone after them to get Hinata back. Kiba was protective of Hinata, him being her teammate and all, and didn't trust me that much with rescuing her. We did manage to get Hinata back, and since then, Hinata and I have always had a better relationship with each other. And they all lived happily ever after." Neji said, smiling.
Akane and Koji smiled, happy with the story their father had told them. But Akane still was curious about some things. "I wonder if something like that will happen this year…" She trailed off.
"Which one? The Sand betraying us, or The Cloud trying to get the Byakugan?" Tenten asked.
"Both. You never know, the Sand are a weird bunch of people. And not to mention, Koji and I don't have the curse seal. The Cloud might try something funny." Akane said.
"They might, but after so many failed attempts, I don't they'd be dumb enough to try again." Tenten chuckled.
"You're right. Well, time for bed!" Neji shouted.
"Dad, your story only took five minutes. It's still only 8:05." Akane sighed.
"Oh. Well it was worth a shot. Are you two sure you want to see your mother and I making o-"
"GOODNIGHT!" And with that Akane and Koji sprinted upstairs before they could be scarred for life.
Tenten turned to Neji. " Did you mean what you said?" She asked.
"What? How Hinata and I have a better relationship? Well yes, since then I've always wanted to protect her in any way I could, and made sure nothing bad happened to her-"
"No you dummy. About us making out."
"Oh. Then yes. I did."
And that's how babies are made.
A/N: Don't worry, Tenten's not preggers. Anyways, I recently started posting things on my DeviantArt account, and I post these files sorts of things of all the Naruto Characters. So this isn't the question of the chapter, but would you guys want to see files of Akane and Koji on my profile? Just let me know.
Now for the real question of the chapter. And I've been wondering this for awhile and I'm wondering if anyone else is. Ok so when I found out that SasuHina (Sasuke and Hinata) was a ship, I was like, they're an ok ship, but I like NaruHina better. Anyways, after acouple of days knowing that they were a ship, I began wondering something. So the Question is:
Q: If Sasuke and Hinata had a child, which kekkei genkai that chid would possess. Like seriously, Byakugan, or Sharingan? SOMEONE TELL ME!
A: Beats me.
End of Rant. Ok then. Review and stuff. I love all your beautiful faces. See you next time! Adios!
