Natsumi
"The Hyuga main family has a special ninjutsu that's been passed down. It's a curse seal jutsu." Neji spoke and my eyes widened. Was he even allowed to reveal such content? Well it didn't look like he really cared anyways.
"The curse seal?" Naruto questioned confused.
I touched the bandages on my forehead looking down at the two worriedly.
"The curse mark represents 'a bird in a cage.' It is the symbol of being tied down to an inescapable destiny." Neji stated. He reached for his headband and untied it revealing the curse mark.
It branded us branch family members. I thought it was something that just had to be done. I was branded to protect Lady Hinabi. Neji was branded to protect Lady Hinata. Regardless of how Hiashi made it specific, we protect the main.
"That mark is..." Naruto started shocked as ever. I think everyone was shocked.
But why?
Why was Neji revealing this?
This was the Hyuga clan's business.
Neji started to explain the story of when he got branded and the situation and events that occurred along side with it.
"...And that incident occurred.." Neji started and he looked up at me.
"My father was killed by the main family.." Neji started and my eyes widened. I sat there stunned. Lord...Hiashi... I turned to look at him. He was bowing his head down in shame. It was true?!!
"Natsumi.. Did you know about that..?" Ino asked and I slowly shook my head still paying attention to Neji.
Once he finished telling the tragic tale of our father.. I slowly got up..
"So that's how father died.." I hung my head low and slowly left my seat.
"Natsumi! Where are you going?" Ino questioned.
"I don't feel safe around the murder's of my father." I left the arena.
Stupid Main Branch.
Mayumi
Naruto won!
I smiled at him as he stood in the middle of the arena.
I'm surprised but really happy.
"WOAH! He won!!!" Shikamaru looked at the arena shocked. "Seriously? I had assumed he was a lame guy like me!"
"Lame Guy like you?" Shine questioned Shikamaru.
"Everyone's cheering for him! He's totally a kickass type. Plus I probably can't beat him.. how depressing..."
HMPH! That loser got lucky!
You underestimated him. He's more than you think.
So if I underestimate you, do you think you'll have a chance of winning?
What's that suppose to mean?

Neji
I lost... I lost to the likes of..of that loser...
He does not know what he's talking about!
"So... It's true... You've lost." Natsumi stood in the doorway crossing her arms.
"So now you know.. Are you happy?" I asked her as she slowly walked towards me. She grabbed a fistful of my shirt as I stayed laying down on the bed.
"You lied to me! All along I've been living under the roof of father's killers?! Do you know how messed up that sounds?!" Natsumi yelled at me.
I guess I do deserve this in a sense.
"I was protecting you from the truth.. How would a young girl feel about that?!"
"I would've learned to grow with it, and make it my strength. Just like you have." Natsumi released me.
"This is so messed up!" She walked away from my bed as I slowly sat up.
"Neji... Natsumi..." We turned to the door to see Lord Hiashi.
"What do you want?" I asked as he entered the room silently.
"I came to tell you two the truth of that day.." He spoke sadly.
"Truth?" Natsumi and I questioned him.
"That time... I fully intended to die.."
WHAT?!

"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THE CONTESTANT FOR THE NEXT MATCH HASN'T ARRIVED YET! THEREFORE WE'll PUSH THIS MATCH BACK AND BEGIN THE NEXT ONE!"
First of all... That's not even allowed..
I know right.. What the hell..
"It's because most people came to see Sasuke versing Gaara. Many have bet money on it." Shino spoke and my eyes widened.
Well I guess it's true.. Who wouldn't want to see the remains of the Uchiha verse... Gaara..
"AND NOW THE NEXT MATCH! KANKURO VERSE SHINO ABURAME! THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH WILL GO ON AND FACE HARU HARUNO!"
"I FORFEIT!" Kankuro yelled..
.
.
.
Well then.. They are totally up to something...
"...anywwaysss... SHINO ABURAME WINS THE MATCH! AND NOW FOR THE NEXT MATCH-"
Haru already jumped down in the arena.. He slowly got up flipping his luscious pink locks in the process.
He definitely just won all the girl's hearts..
What makes you say that? Because of the squealing?
...No, cause I think he won mine.
.
.
.
Well then...
"Hey... Let's start the match!" Haru called out to Shino as wind appeared only blowing his hair. Screams were coming out from the audience.
"Sigh... So versing my own comrade huh?" Shino said before jumping down.
"Oh wow.. These two are on the same.. Isn't that kinda unfair?" I asked Shikamaru.
"It's clear this was a result to expect. If it wasn't, they wouldn't have let us decide our own fates by picking numbers out of a bag." Shikamaru stated.
"LET THIS MATCH, BEGIN!"
