The 'Euuga's: Neji's Cousins from the West.


Hyuga Neji had had a long day. As he opened the sliding door to his room on the top floor of the branch house, his silver/lavender eyes took in the spotless, plain floor, the blank white walls, and the perfectly made bed.

He couldn't stand to have his room messy; The place screamed "Prim and Proper," just like his appearance. He kept his long, coffee-brown locks tied loosely in a pony-tail on the end, and his plain white long-sleeved top was low-cut and fit his body loosely. He kept his wardrobe simple, yet elegant; the way of the Hyuga clan. He made sure to bathe himself every night if he had the chance; he hated being filthy almost as much as he hated the Mark on his forehead.

The Hyuga prodigy undressed himself, revealing his muscular, tight body to the glaring eyes of the mirror before him. He looked over himself, brows furrowing. He let his finger trace down a scar on his abdomen, staring at it with glaring eyes. Then, his eyes ran over the two majorly scarred areas of skin that the battle with Kidoumaru, the sound nin had left behind over 6 years ago. He finally rolled his eyes, dismissing the memory from his mind as he untied his black headband and set it down on his dresser, along with the wrappings he always had around his forehead. He kept his eyes averted from the mark, as he left the mirror to step into his bathroom.

He showered, letting the hot water run over his masculine body as he sighed. It had been a terrible mission; Tiring and long. His dark hair fell in wet strands down his back as he washed, some of the shorter strands sticking to his face. He smoothed it back, before turning the water off and stepping out. He grabbed a towel, drying off quickly before wrapping the cloth about his waist and entering his room. The place was cold, and the mist created by the running water of his shower seeped out of the bathroom, disappearing in the larger room.

Neji rummaged through his drawers for some boxers to put on, his wet stringy hair falling over his sturdy shoulders. After a minute or so of searching through piles of white garments, he found his favorite pair: His white ones. Of course, all of his pairs of boxers were white, but these were special. These were whiter than the other pairs. Neji held the boxers against his chest, breathing in the clean scent. He then let the towel fall away from his waist as he pulled the boxers on.

The man let his eyes close as he sighed in contentment, as he slipped on a robe. He dressed himself only to go downstairs. He was hungry after a long mission such as the last one; TenTen babbling in his ear and Lee asking for piggy-back rides wasn't his idea of fun. Even Gai seemed exhasperated with the two. Neji loved TenTen to death, but she talked so much more than normal he had to give her a warning glare to get her to shut up. The girl was usually quiet and pensive, alot like himself; He didn't know what possessed her to talk as much as she did. Of course, Lee was only being Lee. After Gai carried Kakashi all the way back to the village on his back after they had completed the "Rescue the Kazekage" mission 4 years ago, Lee had been begging Neji time after time for the same chance. And every time, Neji responded with a "Hell no!"

Neji let himself drift down the stairs to the lower floor of the house. He strode along gracefully, yet his walk had pride and masculinity in each step. 'Like a graceful swan,' His cousin, Hinata, had always told him. Neji had grown a bit warmer towards her, treating her like a cousin should. The boy even occasionally helped her train, when he didn't have a mission or Anbu duties to attend to. Her little sister, and his younger cousin, Hanabi, was under the tutelage of Sakura Haruno, the mest medic in the village under the Hokage herself. Hanabi was quickly becoming a good medic. She would never be as finely attuned with her chakra as her rosey-haired sensei was, but she wasn't half bad at the Hyuga fighting style either.

As Neji entered the kitchen, he felt another presence in the room. It was late, and he wondered who it could be. There he saw Hinata, sitting on the floor half-asleep with a box of Corn Pops in hand. The coffee-haired boy kneeled in front of her, waving his hand in her face.

"Hinata-san," He said. "Are you awake?"

The navy-haired girl mumbled some colorful words, eyes closed.

"Guess not." Neji rolled his eyes. He poked her shoulder, saying, "Hinata. Wake up."

The girl jerked away, with wide eyes. "U-Uh? O-Oh, N-Neji!" Her face turned red from embarassment. "I wasn't doing anything, I--"

"Hinata, shut up. I won't tell anyone." Neji rolled his eyes, chuckling. "Just go home and get in the bed." He gently grabbed the box of cereal from her, absent-mindedly putting it in the cabinet. Hinata nodded, silently getting up and running out the door after muttering a "Thanks."

"Honestly," Neji shook his head.

xXx

Neji awoke the next morning to find a pile of mail sitting on his bedroom floor. He fell to the floor, anime style.

"What the?!" He gaped at the abnormally large pile of paper.

He got up, and haughtily rushed out of the room.

"Uncle!" He demanded as he approached the Head of the Clan.

Hiashi raised an eyebrow, pale eyes focusing on his nephew. "What is it, Neji?"

"What the hell is that huge pile of crap on my bedroom floor?" Neji pointed to the Branch complex, towards the top floor.

"Ahh, yes." Hiashi gave him a knowing smirk. "The fan-mail."

"Wha...?" Neji blinked, arm falling to his side.

Hiashi looked towards Neji's room. "When every handsome Hyuga comes of age, they start getting fan-mail from fangirls all over the world."

Neji looked at the man like he'd grown another head. "The... The hell?!"

Hiashi blinked. "Something wrong, Neji? I thought you knew--"

"Uhmm.... NO...?!" Neji had become agitated. "How the hell do I have fangirls?!"

"Oh, come now, Neji." Hiashi smiled smugly. "Even I have fangirls."

"Ugh, gross, Uncle." Neji pressed his fingers to his temples, rubbing them as if getting rid of a headache.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, music began playing, as a male voice sang, "I'm, too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts--"

"TURN THAT DAMN MUSIC OFF!" Hiashi yelled. Soon after, he regained his composure, letting a small cough escape his thin lips.

"Uncle, what's gotten into you?" Neji blinked, shifting his weight to his left foot. His untied hair fell over his shoulders, and down his back, a bit messy from not being brushed.

"Nothing, Neggy." His uncle said dismissively, turning to walk away.

"Eh?" Neji blinked, watching the man leave. "Hey! It's NEJI!" Neji yelled, agitated.

"God, what the hell is wrong with my family?" Neji groaned.

xD

I think the idea's brilliant.

Please keep updating.

I'm glad SOMEONE likes it. =D
Domo Arigato!

The ‘Euuga's: Neji's Cousins from the West.


The Hyuga man had spent all afternoon rummaging through the large pile of "crap" on his bedroom floor. Hiashi had told him that the fan-mail was a necessary part of being a Hyuga. After that, Neji had been cursing himself, and asking why the hell he'd ever been born a Hyuga.

Neji tapped his chin, thinking about why his Uncle had been acting so strange. He'd always taken Hiashi as a serious, dead-set man; one who wasn't to be argued with. Now, Neji wasn't so sure.

Now that he thought about it, he also realized that Hinata had been acting strange the night before. He hadn't thought about it before; he supposed he was too tired to notice it. One, Hinata had never said anything even REMOTELY to cursing before. Two, she had NEVER stepped foot in the Branch House of the District before. Three, she had NEVER eaten Corn Pops before.

As Neji pondered this, the image of a woman appeared in his mind. He couldn't tell who it was, but by her outline, he could tell she was sort of tall, and had short hair. She held her pose gracefully, and from what he saw, she was an image of beauty like no other. He closed his eyes, sighing as he looked upon the form in his head. He reached out, trying to grasp her within his fingers; But, with a gentle smile adorning soft pink lips, she vanished.

Neji jumped up, blinking. "What the...?" He looked around warily, then realized he'd fallen asleep.

'Who was that girl...?' He thought. He closed his eyes, trying to view her again. The only thing he received... Was the image of a Cherry Blossom flowing from a tree.

Neji opened his eyes, blinking. 'Was does that mean...? a Cherry Blossom...?' He shook his head, returning to the senseless letters from fangirls.

xXx

After finishing the last one(which had an oddly frightening threat concerning rape), Neji leaned back in his chair, running his hands through his hair. He looked at the clock, finding that he still had around two hours before his mission, which he had to meet up with his team at the gates at 3 PM for.

Neji sighed, racking his brain for something to do. He didn't want to train; that would just drain his strength, and he didn't need that right before a mission. He wasn't hungry. He didn't think of anything he could do.

All he knew was that he just wanted to get out of the District. He didn't want to be anywhere even remotely near his crazy Uncle and cousin, especially after the incident that occured a bit earlier, after he'd departed from Hiashi.

Let's just say that it involved Hinata, chocolate, and a knife.

Neji shuddered, seeing the crazed look in her normally timid eyes. He didn't want to have to be married to someone like that, expecially if they were to be pregnant.

He imagined a pregnant Hinata, chasing Naruto around the house with a butcher knife. This thought brought a small grin to his lips, as he smirked. He knew that Naruto and his cousin were engaged, and although it was a bit early for them, he was happy for them.

Neji lifted himself from his chair, grunting. Fully dressed in his normal attire, he merely opened his window and hopped out, closing it back before leaping gracefully to the ground. He looked around to make sure no one was looking, and then disappeared.

xXx

"So, they're coming?"

"Hai, Hiashi, they are." The woman said fervently, in a hushed tone.

"When exactly did they say...?" The man blinked his pale eyes.

"I couldn't quite understand them, but I believe it sounded something like, "Tell H'yashi we'll be up that'a way up yonder in a little bit!""

"Anything else?"

"No, sir, except I believe I heard someone spitting something in the background."

Hiashi blinked. "I didn't need that information..."

"Gomenasaii, sir."

"So, they're coming."

"Tea, sir?"

"Hai, please."

xXx

“Hn’…” Neji rolled his eyes as he walked along Konoha’s main street. He had his hands in his pockets, absent-mindedly kicking a pebble along with the toe of his ninja sandal. His thoughts ran back to that image, in his head. Why did it just… pop up there? Most importantly… Who was it? It couldn’t be TenTen, because the woman’s hair wasn’t in buns. It couldn’t be Hinata, because the woman’s hair was short. It couldn’t be Ino, because the woman’s hair wasn’t in a pony-tail. It couldn’t be Temari, either. But that only left…

“Sakura?” He wondered aloud.

‘No, it can’t be…’ He thought.

‘Oi, she fits the description…’ His heart replied gently.

‘What description?’ Neji asked, although he knew the answer.

‘She fits the description of the girl in your head…’

‘She can’t! That’s ridiculous. I mean, Sakura has long hair, doesn’t she?’

‘She’d cut it again, a while back.’

‘…Did she?’ Neji gulped.

‘Hai, she did. And, you are going to see it today.’

‘Why do you say that??’

‘Because, she’s right behind you.’

Neji’s eyes widened, but he resisted in turning. He could tell the kunoichi was there; he smelled the strong, yet alluring Cherry Blossom scent of the woman. He heard the shifting of her sandal over the dirt they were standing upon. He felt her presence behind him. Finally, he glanced over his shoulder. His eyes widened when he saw the image of perfect standing there, in her maroon uniform.

“Hello, Neji.”

Two words, and his knees went weak. He struggled to keep them from visibly wobbling, but after a moment, he regained his composure and whispered, “H-Hi.”

“Are you okay?” She approached him, a hand touching his shoulder. He cursed himself for letting her notice it.

“H-Hai.” He muttered, avoiding her eyes. If two words from the girl could make his knees go weak, then he wasn’t about to chance looking into her eyes. He turned around, facing her.

“So, I heard we’ve been assigned to the same mission today.” Sakura said, beginning to walk along. Neji followed her, gaze glued to the ground.

“Hai, we meet at the gates at three, don’t we?” He asked, biting his lip to keep from glancing at her.

The kunoichi glanced at him and said, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Huh?” He stole a quick glance at her, before his legs turned to jelly again. “U-Uh, yeah…”

“It doesn’t seem like it.” The rosy-haired woman said, pulling his arm over her shoulder to support him. “Let me check you out, for a moment.”

Neji let the woman support him to a bench, feeling his legs get weaker and weaker with each step. She set him down on a bench, observing him. She kneeled, pressing a hand to his forehead. She grabbed his wrist, checking his pulse. She observed his white eyes for a moment.

As his eyes met hers, they widened. He blinked, staring at her. She blinked, staring back.

After a moment, she stepped away, fully on her feet. “You seem fine,” she said. “I guess it’s the jelly legs?”

“M-Maybe…” He grunted, getting up from the bench.

“W-Well, I suppose I’ll see you later.” Sakura raised an eyebrow.

“I suppose so, I’ll meet you and the others at the gates for the mission..” Neji nodded slightly.

“Hai, well…. S-See you.” Sakura gave a slight wave, turning on her heel and walking away.

Neji watched her back as she walked away, taking her in. Her figure was the exact same as the woman’s in his mind. He watched how her hips swayed, like the smooth tide of the ocean sweeping in and out. Her pink locks bounced upon her shoulders, the color vibrant and full of life. Her arms were long and slim, just like her body. She walked with a grace that not even he had; The grace of a woman, a feminine aura about her.

His breath hitched in his throat when she stopped for a moment to cast him a look over her shoulder.

As she went out of sight, Neji’s heart-rate returned to normal. He looked at the ground, furrowing his brow. “What is this? God, I’m an idiot.” Neji shook his head, turning to walk back to the compound. He didn’t feel up for doing anything else after he saw her.

xXx

“REGGIE! Git yer ass out ‘ere NAOW!”

“Wut is it, Paw?” A tall gangly-looking boy with long coffee-brown hair and buckteeth came out of the rickety barn.

“We’s about to go visit yer cuzzins from that place.” His uncle, a tall man with long coffee-brown hair and almost no teeth at all told the boy.

“REALLY? Yer meen tha ones in dat.. Jerpan place?!”

“Yeah, so git yer bags and load up tha family.” The older man snapped.

“Yes, uncle Hank…” The boy said dejectedly.

Dou itashimashite.

Anways, yeah, plot's getting interesting...

Are the cousins... rednecks?

Please update soon.

Yosh, they are. xD
You gotta love 'em though! Especially when they're not related to you! xD

The 'Euuga's: Neji's Cousins from the West.


"Oi, Oi! Nejii!" Neji heard a familiar female voice ring throughout his ears as he was walking to the front gates of Konoha. Had TenTen come to blab in his ear again? He knew it was the brunette, for he recognized that voice anywhere. Neji stopped, and turned 180 degrees to face the woman. TenTen caught up to him, bending over to rest her hands on her knees, panting. After she straightened, she said, "You're going on a mission, right?"

"Hai." He answered shortly, waiting for her to spit whatever she had to say out.

"Well, I..." TenTen looked down, embarassed. "...I just wanted to apologize."

"...For blabbing my ear off on our mission yesterday?" Neji grinned smugly.

"...Hai..."

"Hmph." Neji smirked.

"Oi." TenTen muttered, glaring at him. "I had the guts to say sorry, didn't I?"

"Well, all I want to know is why you were talking so much. You're usually quiet." Neji commented.

"Yes, well... I had chocolate that morning, for breakfast."

Neji blinked, surprised. "Chocolate...?"

"I didn't have anything else in my cabinets at the moment!" TenTen whined. "And I soon found that chocolate makes me a hyper monster and I am never to have it again."

Neji shook his head.

"Well... Good luck on your mission, Neji-san." TenTen smiled. She gave him a friendly, encouraging hug before waving and leaving.

'Well... Another solution for my problems.' Neji thought, shrugging. He continued on his way to the main gate, feeling oddly nervous. And it wasn't because of the mission.

xXx

"Tou-sann!" Hanabi whined.

Hiashi groaned. "What the hell do you want, Hanabi?!"

"P-Please... Let me go to the market? I'll pick up some groceries if you need me to..." The coffee-haired girl spoke quietly, much unlike her whining tone of voice just a moment earlier.

Hiashi sighed. "Fine. But," He added, closing his eyes, "No boys."

"Daddyyy..." Hanabi whined again.

All Hiashi did was give her a warning glare, and the girl shut up.

xXx

Kakashi looked around.

Boredly, he took in the front gates. The overly large doors were made of wood, and were inconceivably old and riggety. They were ragged, and worn; the wood was splintering, and the pain was crusty and starting to peel off. 'Better get someone to fix these gates,' He thought. His thoughts were interrupted, however, when a sweet female voice reached his ears.

"Kakashi-senseii!" Sakura waved from a few yards away. She jogged up to him, smiling brightly.

"Hello, Sakura-chan." Kakashi smiled from beneath his mask.

"I heard Neji was coming with us on the mission." Sakura smiled, stifling her anxious giggle.

"Hai, and so is Lee-san." Kakashi added, throwing in a groan for effect.

Sakura giggled. "Kakashi-sensei, he's not that bad." The kunoichi then said as an after-thought, "At least it's not Lee and Gai-sensei."

"The Youthful Duo, yes," Kakashi groaned again. "You know the saying 'Two is better than One?'"

Sakura nodded.

Kakashi replied, "That doesn't apply in this case."

Sakura giggled again.

xXx

Her giggles reached his ears. He closed his eyes, noting the way she laughed. Her laugh ran like clear white bells on a spring morning; peaceful, chirping, full of happiness and life. Neji was behind the guard house, debating on whether to approach the pair; They looked deep in conversation, and he didn't want to just walk up and interrupt them. 'I don't see why not,' His inner voice said. 'You know you'd just love to break them up and have Sakura to yourself.'

Neji furrowed his brow, blocking out the voice. He was still in debate, however, when his teammate and friend popped up behind him.

"HEYYY, NEJI!" The bowl-headed man yelled, right in his ear.

The Hyuga fell anime style, a sweat-drop forming above his head. He then got up, face red and angry. His head swelled to about three times its normal size as he yelled and babbles incoherent curses at his teammate. Lee only laughed at the man's comical actions, hands on his hips.

"Are you ready for our youthful mission, Neji?" Lee asked, giving him the trademark cheesy teeth-twinkle grin.

"No," Neji groaned, feeling a heat rise to his cheeks.

Neji looked to the sky, once again lost in thought.

"Neji."

The man looked down at his comrade to see Lee bending over with his arms stretched back, motioning for him to hop on.

"HELL NO!" The Hyuga yelled, hitting Lee in the back of the head with as much force as he could muster. Lee's face crashed into the ground, as his body toppled over.

"Hey, hey! What's going on?" Sakura blinked, peeping her head around the corner. Neji looked up, and his heart began beating faster.

Lee got on his knees, brushing himself off and spitting out rocks. "Gurmlesphirfff," He said.

Sakura blinked again. "Wha...?"

"Gurmlesphirfff!"

Neji groaned, saying, "He asking you if you're ready for the mission." Lee gave Neji a look as if to say, "No I wasn't," but a glare from Neji shut him up.

After getting all of the "oh-so tasty" rocks out of his mouth, Lee said, "Yes, my youthful bloosom! Are you ready for our mission?"

Sakura grinned. "You know it. You two ready to go?"

The two shinobi nodded, following the female as she headed back towards the gate.

xXx

"Hay, Paw?" A little girl with coffee-brown, hay-filled hair and rotting teeth poked the taller man beside her. "When's Reggie gon' get of of deh baffroooom?"

"I'ma comin', Hannie," Reggie called from inside the public restroom.

"What the hell're yeh doin' in ther?!" H'yashi, Reggie's uncle and Hannie's father yelled. As he yelled that, two nuns walking by gave him apalled looks. They rushed on, murmuring things like, "Christ forgive him," and "Bless his lost soul."

"I'ma takin' a dump, uncle Hank!" Reggie shouted from inside.

The two nuns from before then promptly got out paper bags, wretching into them.

"Well', hurr' up, we'll be late!" H'yashi called, pounding on the door.

The man and his daughter shuffled away from the gas station, hopping into their rusty-red pick-up truck and joining another woman in the front.

After Reggie had finished his 'dump' on the toilet, he walked out, shaking his head. "Shooooo-Wee, that was stankier n' raw pig-guts on a platter."

He then chuckled goofily(his laugh sounding something like a donkey) at his own joke, slapping his knee.

xXx

Although Lee kept conversation going by cracking corny jokes and making sure everyone laughed at them, Neji still felt things were somewhat awkward between Sakura and himself. He didn’t know what to do to make it better; It seemed they didn’t really even know what to say to eachother. They didn’t know one another, and that didn’t help. Neji pressed his mind for answers, things to talk about… When suddenly his face lip up at his bright idea.

“Sakura,” He said lowly, just enough to get her attention.

The kunoichi looked at him, surprised. “H-Hai, Neji-san?” She replied in the same hushed tone of voice he used.

“I, uhh… Need your opinion on something.” He gulped.

“Okay, on what?” Then woman blinked, waiting for his response.

“W-Well…”

‘****, ****! My brain went dead! How could I lose such an idea?!’ And although the man wracked his brain trying to find the idea again, he ended up blurting out, “TenTen’s on her period and I was wanting to know how to calm down her PMS-ing.”

He mentally cursed himself. ‘How could I say something so stupid?!’ He mentally smacked himself in the head.

“U-Uh… Well, Neji-san… First of all, I didn’t even know you knew what a… Menstrual period was…” Sakura’s cheeks tinged pink at the embarrassing question.

Neji kept his mouth shut, for fear of blurting some other stupid question out.

“Second… I suppose the best thing to do is… Just… Stay out of her way?” Sakura blinked, shrugging. “Honestly, I don’t know what to tell you.”

“Yeah, because she’s violent anyways so she doesn’t act musch—“ Kakashi began, but was interrupted by Sakura’s fist slamming into his jaw.

“Shut it!” She yelled. “Or I’ll kick your ass! CHA!”

Kakashi rubbed his jaw, muttering, “Moody *****.”

Sakura’s eye twitched. “What… the hell… DID YOU JUST SAY?!” Her face contorted into one of complete and total rage.

“I SAID—“

“YOU WANT A PIECE OF—“

“Oi, guys! Can we please—“

“CHA! I’LL BEAT YOU TO—“

“BRING IT ON, PINK—“

“Come on, guys! Can’t we just be youthfully—“

Amidst all the arguing, yelling, and fighting, Neji was very relieved to know that they’d forgotten about his awkward question.

‘Saved, for now…’ He thought.
