A Deadly Attraction

Part 8

Somehow, after showing Neji just how poisonous I was, the rest of the day seemed to fade away. Before I knew it, I was done with dinner and getting ready for bed. I changed into my pajamas and had crawled into bed, wrapped up like a burrito in my blankets and quickly fell asleep. As soon as the day earlier had passed, the night was gone and it was time for me to get up.

"(Y/N)... It's time to get up..." I heard someone say.

"Just 5 more minus elder..." I mumbled, burring my face deeper into the pillow.

"Elder, Last i checked we were the same age." I sat there thinking for a second.

"What do you mean same age Elder... You're like-" I rolled over to see Neji leaning against the door way. and made Immediate eye contact. I rolled back over and mumbled

"Mmmmm... I still want 5 minutes..."

"There'll be no food in 5 minutes." He said flatly.

"Wow Neji, I love your use vast use of tone." I grumbled getting up and heading to my closet.

"What are you doing?"

"Changing. What does it look like?"

"Someone's cranky."

"N-Neji, don't b-be rude to (Y/N). I-I'm sure she just n-needs time to w-wake up." I heard Hinata say from the other side of my closet doors.

"You tell him Hinata." I said, louder so she could here. There was some snickering, then i heard someone leave. I popped out, all dressed in one of my favorite outfits, out of habbit grabbed some wrappings, and made my way to breakfast.

"Good morning child."

"Good morning Elder." I pulled out a chair next to her and began filling my plate.

"My you seme so eager to eat, you must've heard the good news." I looked up from grabbing a slice of bacon

"What good news?"

"The news that today the Hyuga clan will be escorting us through the village. "I gave a quick glance to Neji and Hinata and they seemed surprised to hear this news to.

"W-What?" Hinata, Neji , and I all stuttered at once.

"We will be taking the Yudoku clan on a trip around the village. Spending their entire visit on the grounds seemed a bit exclusive, so me and Elder Aie have decided to take those who would like to go out. We'll have either one or two Hyugas paired with you for your safety and the rest of the village in case something happens." said Hiashi. I quickly went back to my room and began getting ready for the day. So, I need to wrap my arms and neck, I should bring some ex wrappings just in case, the flowers, some money... My thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of my door opening 

"Are you ready to go?" Said a familiar Brunet.

"Almost." I turned around. "Do you know who's going to escorting the others or if there was already prearranged pairs?" I asked. He reached up and scratched the side of cheek, hiding his face.

"I will be your escort for today."

"M-Me to!" Said Hinata, jogging in to the room.

"Nice." I slung my tiny backpack over my shoulder. "Lets get going" I said with a smile.

Soon we were outside walking around Konohagakure. My eyes filled with wonder as I took in the city's sights. The streets were bustling with people. Vendors sold cute trinkets while cooks were selling food that assaulted your nose with smells of various spices.

"Is there anything in particular you'd like to see?" Neji asked.

"Oh, I don't know. The whole town seems so cool."

"It's just like any other town."

"Well, I'm not from any other town so this seems amazing." Hinata began to giggle.

"What so funny Hinata?" I asked. she giggled some more.

"You two bicker like and old couple." Me and Neji both whipped around, looked at each other, and I felt my cheeks go extremely warm.

"W-what, I h-haven't got the s-slightest clue what y-you're talking ab-bout." I said, stuttering like a dumb ass. she just continued to giggle and I his my face in the hood of my coat.

"(Y/N), If I didn't know any better, I'd say you ere a tomato." Neji said with a playful tone. I hit him in the chest and mumbled in my hoodie. 

"Shut up Neji."

"Why do you feel the need to cover your face? You've already covered it with wrappings." I popped my head out from my hood and tried to play it off.

"Uuh, y-yeah, I already know that." up ahead some kids were playing with a ball and accidentally kicked it out of bounds, rolling towards you. you stopped it with your foot, froze for a second, double checking your wrappings, then picked up the ball and handed it to the small kids.

"I think you may have kicked this a little to hard." The child smiled and took the ball.

"Thanks Miss. Say, why are you covered with wrappings?" He asked

"Wh-" Before I could even utter a word, the child's mother grabbed him and pulled him away

"You stay away from him! You'll get him sick!" I immediately took a step back and dusted myself off.

"S-sorry miss. I mean you or your son no harm, he just ki-"

"I said saty away!" She yelled. People had started looking towards us and crowding around, including the other Youdokus.

"S-sorry..." I mumbled. I to turned to walk away but then began screaming.

"Why are you even here? You are a danger to this city! Leave now before we kick you out!" This time Neji took a step forward.

"Miss. You have no right to be yelling those things. All She did was pick up a ball. She is covered head to tow. There is no possib-" She began screaming more random things. I grabbed Neji's arm and motioned for us to leave.

"She's not gonna give up any time soon so there is no point in arguing. He let out a defeated sigh, but as we turned to leave, the crowd had began to circle around the Youdokus and the Hyugas. 

"W-what do we do?"Asked Hinata, almost shaking in fear.

"We either leave, or if they don't we wait for the other ninjas to come and help make a p-" out of the corner of my eye I caught a small streak of silver. I stuck out my arm, Protecting Neji from whatever was shot but soon felt drowsy.
