Naruto was still hugging me tightly, while I sobbed in his arms, saying reassuring things that would hopefully calm me down.

I noticed that Neji stared with a caring, but annoyed look; probably because he didn't like the way Naruto was so close. But I could tell that in his eyes, he understood that I needed support.

I loved how he cares and the way he understands what I need.

Neji never did liked it when a guy gotten near me, not that it happens all the time, but he never wanted me to get hurt, or fall for the "wrong guy".

But it was.. different this time, he didn't yell at Naruto or gotten angry with him for being so close to me.

Although, I knew that he seemed bothered by the whole thing.

"Th..thank you Na-Naruto." I thanked him, as I wiped away what few stray tears I had left.

"It was nothing, really."

I sat up straight, but I could tell that Neji was still watching with concern, as if I was going to break down all over again.

I nodded my head towards him, silently telling him that I was ok.

"Now that we got that cleared, I guess we could start with finding out who sold you that gun Hinata." Neji started.

"Right."

"Since tomorrow is Monday, we could ask Sai to draw the person from your description, during lunch." Naruto added.

I just nodded again in agreement.
"I think you should get going.. um, Naruto, it is getting late, we will discuss more after school."

"C'ya guys tomorrow then."

He quietly left through the door, and once he did, I didn't notice that Neji was sitting on the burgundy couch with me.

"Hinata-"

"Neji, I'm fine."

"I know, but what uncle sai-"

"Don't worry about it." I told him, as I gave him a gentle smile, proving to him that I was okay.

"Hey, does this mean that you are going to school with me tomorrow?" I asked changing the subject, but primarily out of curiosity.

"Yeah... Why?"

I gave him an almost half smile, half smirk.

"Because someone is going to be really happy to finally see you after so long."

" Someone...?" He questioned.

"Starts with 'T' ends with 'N'.. twice."

"....Tenten?"

There we go! I guess someone with a brain like his, can put pieces together.

"Why would she be so happy to see me?"

I rolled my eyes at him.

Sometimes, he really can be dense, even with the title "genius".

"Nevermind that Neji," I had got up from the couch to stretch my back and legs. "but since we are on the subject," I turn my head to face his. "don't you miss her too?" I didn't mean it as a question, but more like 'I know you miss her so just admit it' type of way. 

Tenten and Neji always had a.. "love/hate" kind of relationship. They always argued and got into fights, but deep down they cared for each other.

So, when I saw him look away with a shy blush emitted on his cheeks, I knew that I had gotten my answer, even though I knew from the start.

I turned away with a victory smile while heading to my room before saying goodnight. Obviously I took off the wig and contacts before completely shutting my eyes.

°·°·°·°

The next day I woke up, took a quick shower, brush my teeth, put on the wig, eye contacts, etc. My outfit consisted of a some dark, denim, ripped jeans, a purple hoodie, and black and white, high top converse.
When I had got done I saw Neji already dressed, wearing an all white, button up flannel, that was left opened with a gray t-shirt. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and he was also wearing some black fitted jeans -not too tight, but not too loose - and to topped it off with some black and gray vans.

"Well, aren't you looking nice today." I commented.

"Please Hinata, I look nice everyday."

I just rolled my eyes at his comment, and walked over to the table to see what he made for breakfast. I grab my plate of delicious, cinnamon flavored pancakes, and ate them as quickly as I can, so we wouldn't be late for school.

When we arrived at the main gates of the school, Neji told me that he would be heading to the principal's office; being a new student and all.

I headed to class on my own like I usually do. The very crowded halls making it hard for me to maneuver through the bickering students. 

After reaching my designated classroom, I opened the door only to see that the room wasn't filled, but it wasn't empty either, seeing that the final bell for class to start, didn't even ring yet.

Those who were there, and also those who were slowly filling the classroom, was standing talking to their friends; anything but being in their actual assigned seats.

I did happen to see a pair of ocean blue eyes glance at me; making all the events from the night before come rushing back to my thoughts, as the memories made me a bit tense. As if sensing my uneasiness, he gave me a quick nod as if telling me not to worry; but, it still worried me that someone within our group knows about me . . .

Knows about the truth.

I sat at my desk and watch as the emotionless raven, chocolate eyed brunette, and a spiky haired blond approach my figure.

"So.. Are you okay?" Sauske asked in a somewhat concerned tone.

"What?" I asked genuinely clueless.

"Before Naruto met up with you, he told all of us that he was going to check up on you."

I glanced at Naruto for a second and then back on Sasuke.

"Yeah, I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"

Then, Tenten and Sasuke started finishing each other sentences ...

Sasuke started, "Well for starters, you're distant,"

"You don't talk about your problems," Tenten said next.

"Or yourself,"

"You always look either angry or depressed,"

"You tried killing yourself-"

"Okay okay, I wasn't really asking !"

"We know, just wanted to annoy you." Sasuke said with his victory smirk on his face.

That's when the bell rang, and everyone went to their seats.

And the beginning of hell started for all students . . .

°·°·°·°

When the bell for lunch started, I went straight to the cafeteria. I was thinking back to what I had told Naruto after first period..

<< After First Period <<

After the bell rang, I saw Naruto rushing to put his things away in his bookbag. I quickened my pace to catch up with him as Tenten and Sauske went their separate ways, after waving off.  When we walked to the door, I slightly pulled on Naruto's sleeve to get his attention.

"Hmm?"

"About Sai ... Let's find him after school. We obviously can't speak about it in front of the others during lunch."

"'Cause they will just ask questions."

"Exactly." I responded.

"You and Neji wait by the side of the school, and I will bring him myself. Then we will talk about it there."

I nodded to him be fore he walked off to his next class.

>·>·>·>

I grabbed my tray and apple.. then threw the tray away and sat down at the table we always sit at.

Ino, Sakura, and Shikamaru were already there, and of course they both greeted me, while Shikamaru lazily waved his hand.

It was weird, 'cause even though I sat down, they kept staring at me, even Shikamaru, though not as interested.

"What?" I eyed them.

"Naruto told us he went to go see you the other day." Ino mentioned as Tenten, Temari, Lee and Chouji approached.

"Oh yeah... Said something about how you seemed more quiet...?" Chouji questioned.

"When is she not quiet." Temari stated.

Then Naruto was in sight, and he spoke. Along with him was Sauske, Kiba, Shino, and Sai. "Well, she has seemed a little more ... stressed, I guess."

I eyed Sai for a moment without him noticing, making a mental note to myself. I took my eyes off of him to respond back to the conversation.

"I'm perfectly fine guys. Oh yeah! Tenten."

"Yeah?" she quirked an eyebrow at me.

Hmm.. She doesn't seem surprised or happy... Maybe she hasn't seen him yet.

"Ne-"

"Hinata scoot over."

And as if on que, Neji shows up.

"Wow how rude, and not even a simple hello for everyone?" I said as I made some room for him.

"That's really irrelevant at the moment."

"NEJI?!" Tenten said out of pure shock. Sauske just stared in slight shock, but then recovered from it.

It gotten awkward really quick.. No one said anything.

"So this is the Neji guy Tenten likes?" Ino said with a sly smirk.

"Both Neji and Tenten reacted almost instantly to that comment. Neji turned away with a faint blush on his cheeks. And Tenten.. Well, she almost caused a scene . . .

"I DON'T LIKE HIM!" She said as she got up and slammed her hands on the table glaring at Ino... with a flustered face.

I chuckled a little at how cute she could be sometimes, even though she did scare the majority of the people at our table and the students near us.

Realizing what she did, she sat down calming herself a bit before clearing her throat.

"Sorry.." she said quietly.

And that's when the questions began...

°·°·°·°

Just like we planned, me and Neji waited for Naruto after school, beside the building.

The only problem was that school ended almost 45 minutes ago...

"Is he coming or not ?" Neji question impatiently.

"He said that he would, just wait a little longer."

Now I wasn't even sure anymore.

'Ugh, I'm gonna be late for work ... again...'

I should have been fired a long time ago.

"Are you sure we can even trust this idiot?"

"Of... Of course we can!"

"Then why did you hesitate?" he asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"I don't know, I'm not sure okay. Yes.. maybe, you're making me uneasy."

"This whole thing should make you uneasy." he retorted.

Finally, we heard footsteps coming towards us.

"What took you so long!?"

"Sorry Neji, Sai had some after school art club thingy, and I. . . forgot what class he told me to go to.." he laughed nervously.

"Enough about that, we have other things to worry about."

"So, Naruto told me that you needed a sketch of a person ?"
Sai asked with a kind smile, although it seemed.. I don't know.. empty.? Can a smile look empty ?

But that's besides the point.

"Yes."

I waited for him to take out his sketchbook and pencil from his bag. Then he sat on the ground and waited for my description.

"Um.. Okay, so he has a slim face; kinda round but not really with a pointed chin, but it's not really pointed it's flat.."

"Nice description." Naruto spoke as he cut me off.

"Shut up! I'm nervous okay."

"Just keep going, start with the simple things.. So he has a slim face.."

"Eh yeah. He looks like he's in his early twenties or so. He has a small nose, big black eyes; they look sneaky too, like a snake. (A/N: Oh the irony..) He has big round glasses, and he has bangs on each side of his face; with a little space in the middle to show off his forehead. And give him a ponytail in the back, if you could do that."

What else?...

"Oh! And could you add a smirk to his facial features and his smile? Like he looks devious; likes he's up to something, it's weird, I can't really explain it."

"Yeah..."

I turned towards Sai,who face was scrunched up as he was really focusing on his sketch.

When he was done, he bit on the pencil as he occupied both of his hands into showing me his drawing.

I stared in awe at the picture in his hands. I don't know how he drew it so perfectly from my shitty description.

"That's it." I said.

"That's him."

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In all honesty, im terrible when it comes to explaining, descriptions,etc. Sorry ... >.<
