Anna's POV

"Friends? You, want to be, friends, with someone, who kicked your ass in less than five minutes, and is, hot tempered, easily annoyed, will probably ignore you if you piss me off, and not all that friendly?" I ask confused while trying to wrap my head around this and he sighs.

"Yes." Neji says to me.

I hold my head. "I'm so confused." I say and Tsunade laughs.

"Just accept the offer." Neji says to me.

"Why would a boy of a prestigous and fairly strong clan, want to be friends with someone who has a clan history of being ill-mannered and tempermental? It doesn't make sense." I say and he grabs my hand and I look in his direction shocked.

"Just shut up." Neji says to me. "Your intelligent, you should figure out why." Neji says to me with a sigh of annoyance.

"Intelligent? Me, huh?" I ask as if he were saying something unreal. "Yeah I think you have me mixed up with someone else." I say and I feel a eye roll from him. "And don't roll your eyes at me." I say and he just huffs and does it again. "That's it! Tsunade, I'm going home! If you wanted anything else from me, screw yourself." I say ad I walk to the door.

"That's not how you talk to your Hokage." Neji says to me.

"She's your as well, and shut up, I talk how I want you pale eyed confusing mother fucking bastard." I snap and Tsunade laughs as I stalk out of the room.

"I think she's retaliating out of confusion Neji, give her a little while." Tsunade says to him and I'm out of earshot.

I jump on the railing of the stairs and I slide past Izumo and Kotesu and they laugh as I salute them on my way down.

My foot catches on the bottom and I flip onto my hands and my feet land and I stand up.

"I would expect any less of my youthful rivals student!" A guy shouts excitedly, I think, he's too dumb for me to guess what his emotions are.

I only look in his direction for a break moment.

"Anna, this is Guy, another Jonin Sensei and a friend of mine." Kakashi says to me with a nervous feeling in him.

"I'm already confused on what the fuck just happened in the Hokage Office, don't confuse me more Sensei's." I say as I walk past them, clearly frustrated and confused.

"At least she's talking to you Kakashi." Guy says to him and I can only guess he's grinning.

"Bitch ass motherfucking bastard Neji and his fucking confusing shit talking and bullcrap that falls out of his fucking mouth." I mutter under my breath and Kakashi hears and I feel confusion from him.

Neji's POV

Kakashi and Guy-Sensei walk in and I look at them.

"Anna just walked past us cursing her head off about you, can you explain why?" Kakashi asks him and Lady Tsunade starts laughing again.

"I only asked to be her friend." I say and Kakashi nods.

"That explains it, the third said she has trouble making friends due to the fact that she believes she's too bad to be friends with people who are good." Kakashi says to me. "And I know that from experience too, she didn't make any friends during the academy or after she graduated, she's only been friends with Naruto since she arrived in the Hidden Leaf Village 8 years ago." Kakashi says to me and I nod. "But, I'd have to say she's flustered, she understands what you said, she just doesn't know how to accept it." Kakashi finishes with a closed eyed smile.

"HOW YOUTHFUL!" Guy-Sensei yells grinning and I just sweat drop.

Anna's POV.

I get to my apartment and I walk inside and I teleport to Fox Hole Canyon.

"ANNA!" Kits yell tumbling around me and I smile at them.

"Hey Rascal, Diamond, Shiro." I say bending down and I scratch their heads.

I head to Legacy's Den and I sit down with my forehead on my knees and my arms around my legs holding them close to me as my hair falls everywhere.

"What is wrong with you? Your early." Legacy asks me.

"I'm confused and frustrated that I'm confused." I mumble.

"Anna, what is it about this time?" Legacy asks me.

"Neji and boy a Year older than me, wants to be friends?" I say confused.

"That's good, friends are good." Legacy says to me with a warm fuzzy feeling.

"But I don't understand why me though? Aren't I too hot tempered or Ill-mannered for friends?" I ask confused.

"Never, if he wants to be friends with you after seeing how you act, its either genuine or business." Legacy says to me.

"That's why, its business, he's from the Hyuga clan, he doesn't genuinely want to be friends, its just for business between the clans then." I say in a more sulk like mood.

"Maybe it won't be so bad being in a business friendship?" Legacy asks me gently.

"I don't think I'm ever gonna have genuine friends, after they hear my last name its like, oh, partnership so I don't die, Naruto is my brother, he's the only friend I made in the Hidden Leaf and Gramps was like a Grandpa to me and Iruka was like a father, I don't know what to do." I mumble.

"Maybe listen to your heart?" Legacy asks me.

I sigh. "I've tried but it only left me confused." I say and she hums.

"Why don't we take a walk together?" Legacy asks me. "Out of the canyon?" Legacy asks me gently.

I look up and I just nod.

She wraps her tail around my wrist and I follow her out of the canyon.

We walk for a while and we stop and I sense woodland creatures surround us.

"They aren't afraid because they know you won't harm them." Legacy says to me and I sense a bear walk over to me and roar.

I smile at it and I feel its paw to find a thorn. "Aww, the poor sweetheart, its got a thorn stuck in its paw." I say and Legacy sits down and let's me pull the thorn out while the bear bites my other hand. "There, all better." I say to him with a smile.

"Anna, your hand." Legacy says to me and I just smile.

"Its fine, just a flesh wound and a small price to help the sweetheart who was in pain." I say as I pet the bears head as it nuzzles my chest affectionetly, as if saying sorry.

"Anna, you don't realize it, but your incredibly kind, you'll help anyone in need." Legacy says to me and I sigh as hug the bears head.

"I don't know about anyone, there are a certain few I might not, besides, I'm only kind to animals because they don't judge me and they can sense my emotions like I can sense other peoples emotions." I say to her in a somewhat sad tone.

"You could be nice to people." Legacy says to me kindly.

"Yeah and have them judge me and trample me like a carpet? No thanks." I say with a small snort and a deer walks up to me and I pet her head. "Animals are real people who are just trapped in furry bodies, they don't judge me because I can't see, because to them, I'm the one who is able to see these guys as other than beasts that people think they are." I say and two squirrels jump on my right should while two chipmunks climb onto my left shoulder and other woodland creatures surrounds me.

""You've given up faith in humanity haven't you?" Legacy asks me.

"Not yet, but they do piss me off." I say and I nuzzle the squirrels as I sit down and a wolf sits next to me and paws my lap. I pet its head and Legacy sighs amused and I feel her shift down to laying down in front of me.

I smile softly as I pet the animals.

"Anna."

The animals tense on alert and I look up and sense Neji.

I just bury my face in the wolfs fur.

He walks closer and the animals growl.

"Its alright." I say to them with a warm closed eyes smiled.

The animals relax around me and I pet them as Neji gets closer.

"Legacy." I say to her and she shakes her head.

"What?" Legacy says to me.

"This is Neji Hyuga." I say to her and I sense her flick her tail in greeting.

"Anna, there are animals around you." Neji says to me cautiously.

'They're sweethearts." I say in objection as I hug the wolf.

"Anna, they could kill you." Neji says to me.

"They won't." I say as the bear pulls me into a hug and the wolf starts licking my hair and my face and I giggle.

"Anna, your being a child." Legacy says to me and I pout.

"I can't help it, they tickle." I say to her as I sit up.

"Childish, Anna, she's normally adult like." Neji says to Legacy.

"No, she's a child around here." Legacy says to him passively.

I just puff my cheek out in a pout and I hide inside the bears legs and paws and the wolf climbs in with me as the bears lay on us like a mother hen.

"Anna." Legacy says to me in a warning tone.

I just get comfortable and I rest my head on the wolf and I yawn.

"Anna." Legacy says to me again, but I just get cozy and comfortable. "Fine, no dinner." Legacy says to me.

"I can make my own food or go to a restaurant." I mumble, getting sleepy.

"Don't you dare fall asleep." Legacy warns me and I just yawn loud enough for her to hear.

"You don't want me acting like a kid, I'll act like a bratty teen, my age." I say to her.

"I'm gonna regret this, aren't I?" Legacy asks and I don't answer since I'm falling asleep.

Neji's POV

"She fell asleep." I say deactivating my Byakugan.

"Not surprising, she's not been sleeping much as of late." The fox Legacy says to me and beckons me to sit down and I hesitantly do.

"Anna is tempermental." I say and Legacy hums amused.

"That's a front. She's a sweet girl, if she let's you see it, the animals love her because she won't hurt them, she helped the bear earlier and the wolf senses loyalty from her and the squirrels love her happy, flitty attitude, the birds love her voice, the raccoons like her mischievousness, and us foxes like her calm and sly nature when it comes to getting out of hard situations." Legacy says to me.

"What was her childhood like?" I ask her.

"Hard, she was threatened to leave the Hidden Sand with her parents when she was five, we still know not who gave the threat, a week later, she and her parents, my summoners were killed, its amazing that Anna got out alive, she said she could hear her mothers cries, she said she couldn't sleep willingly for weeks after that, it was traumatic, she wants friends, she wants people she can let in like she does the animals and Naruto, but she can't trust people, she's as flighty as a feather when it comes to her own emotions, she comes to the canyon to talk to me about them, since her Mother summoned me all the time, she wants advice, she can be hard to figure out, but, she so figured out the type of friendship you want with her, she said business, its because of her clan, isn't it?" Legacy asks me.

"The head, my uncle, wants to stay on the good side of the clans if he can, to keep peace." I say to her calmly.

"Anna could care less about clan matters, they exiled her parents when her mother was 3 months pregnant with her, Anna doesn't care for the Ward Clan, she only cares about what is in front of her, which is the Hidden Leaf Village, she has not given herself the right to make friends after she left the Hidden Sand, since she had friends there, three, the Sand Siblings, the sons and daughter if the Fourth Kazekage, Gaara, Kankuro and Temari, she loved those three as if they were her siblings, she being the youngest with Gaara of course." Legacy says to me and I stare at her shocked.

"She hasn't given herself the right to make friends?" I ask.

"After she left the Hidden Sand, she wasn't aloud to say goodbye, she always felt guilty about it, so, she thought, if there was ever a time she was forced out of her home again, she was not to keep any ties with people again, to avoid hurt on both sides." Legacy says to me and clenchnmy fist slightly.

"She and I used to be alike when it came to a lot of what was said then, I lost my Father when I was four, and I didn't care about the Hyuga after that." I say to her.

"She can relate to you and the Uchiha Boy, but she doesn't know who to trust other than Naruto because she says everyone wants to get on the good side of her clan so they don't die." Legacy says to me and I nod.

Anna's POV

I crawl out from under the bear after a while and I sit down and I stiffle a yawn as the wolf comes out and starts smoothing down my frizzy hair.

"Finally." Legacy says to me and I hear her get up and walk over and I sense Neji get up as well. "I knew you were having trouble sleeping again, but a four hour long nap?" Legacy scolds me.

"Couldn't help it, I was comfortable." I say to her and I get up and start stretching.

"Comfortable, Comfortable?" Legacy asks on the verge of a very long scolding.

"Oh no." I say and I quickly walk over to Neji and the wolf follows me and I link my ark with Neji's while the wolf wraps its tail on my arm and I teleport us outside my apartment door. "Not going through another one of her lectures, I didn't hear the end of it last time." I mutter as I fumble with the key and I put it in the door.

"You know the teleportation jutsu?" Neji asks shocked.

"I know a lot of Juts, I just don't use a lot of it." I say and I get the door open. "Finally, damn door, giving me some damn trouble." I mutter in annoyance and I walk inside and I sense Neji at the door. "Are you coming in or not? If not go back to your own place." I ask him.

"I was waiting to be invited in, like a normal person." Neji says to me cocky.

"Shut up or get out." I say as I make some sandwiches.
