Byakugan Hyuga: So here's my new story, it's kinda a whole different setting and idea from my others. Though I still think it's going to have the same writing style as Highschool Academy.

It will have cute moments, but there will definitely be serious ones too.

I hope you enjoy. Remember to review.

A Peachy Surprise

Chapter 1

Tenten sat reading over all her financial work, trying to decide what was her top priority. She didn't have much time because she was leaving soon to go on a work related trip.

She didn't like her job, but she was with friends and it gave her enough money to provide for her family.

She worked for Sakura's clothing designing, a job many girls her age would have wanted.

"Mommy." Tenten put down her papers to look at her daughter, the small girl was holding the phone up to her.

Tenten tilted her head slightly, asking the silent question of who was on the phone.

"Gary." Her daughter held up the phone more.

Tenten took the phone groaning, she wasn't in the mood to talk to the annoying employee she worked with.

"I'm sorry I don't need you anymore, thanks for offering to help though." She said quickly before handing it back to the awaiting girl.

Her daughter would handle the rest; she was really good with people. Tenten hadn't been very polite when she told Gary she didn't want him coming on the business trip with Sakura and her. They were showing off their new clothing line, which didn't interest Tenten very much but Sakura wanted her to go and it was extra cash.

Sure enough, the dark brunette skipped into the other room probably comforting Gary already.

Tenten glanced at the clock and noticed she had to leave or she would miss the plane.

"Momo!" A head with lavender eyes peeked around the farthest wall.

"Is it time to go?" The smile she gave made Tenten smile also.

"Don't give Ino a hard time, she's still a little upset about the last time." Tenten grabbed the luggage at the door, carrying it down the hallway with one arm and the other holding her daughter's hand.

"I didn't know." Momoko muttered.

"I don't think I would know the difference between dress up clothes and Ino's clothing." Giggles came from the little girl beside her.

They continued their walk to the car, where they both got in and began the quick ride to Ino's.

Tenten stopped at the end of the street and took out the small light purple suitcase that was her daughter's. Ino would be coming down the street soon to get Momoko; the street was too rutty for any car to get down. Ino would always complain about the condition of the street, but she loved her house too much to move.

"Mommy, when will you be back?"

Tenten bit her lip, not wanting to lie but also not wanting to make her daughter upset about how long she would be away.

"I'll be back before you know it." She kissed her cheek before climbing into the car and driving away, worried that she may miss her plane.

Neji was glad that he was finally done with the office work; he was getting frustrated with just sitting in a silent room.

He shut his office door before turning to his secretary.

"Cecilia, if any important paperwork comes just deliver it." The shy girl bobbed her head in understanding, her glasses almost falling off.

Neji let his mind wander as he walked to the parking lot and got in his car to drive home.

He only came to the office once a week or more depending on how many meetings he had. He was the owner of Hyuga Enterprises, a very successful corporation that he had inherited from his Uncle.

He preferred to do all his paperwork at home, where it was easy to relax and he wouldn't have to deal with petty interruptions.

He finally reached his home, a mansion to many other people. The long driveway led up a hill where his house was stationed; he had made sure no one could drive up the driveway. They would have to walk to reach the front door.

It was fine for him; it was easy enough to get to the house in no time because he had walked it so many times.

He reached the front door and opened it to be greeted by silence.

Neji Hyuga sighed before stepping into the front hallway to hang up his coat.

He didn't want to think about it, but his mind slipped back to the times when he would come home to a cheerful Tenten.

She would run over to him, giving him a small peck on the lips before rambling about her day. Usually her day consisted on making a mess or breaking something, but still he would enjoy every word she said.

His office day could never compare to the stories she told him.

Standing in the empty hallway made that feel like a distant memory, almost making it seem like it never happened.

Neji grumbled at himself for recalling the past.

He dropped his suitcase on the floor and walked to the couch, dragging his suddenly heavy feet. He fell onto the fluffy couch, ignoring his thoughts that told him he should be working and not sleeping during the day.

He didn't feel like doing anything. He wasn't tired physically, but he knew some sleep would help his mind rest from the office work.

Neji let his head fall back into the couch pillow, relaxing from the stressful day he was having.

Tenten sank heavily into one of the chairs she would have to sit in until the plane came.

She wondered if she should call Ino and see if she was still alright to take care of Momoko. Tenten was nervous because she had never left her daughter with someone for so long. It was also Ino, someone who didn't seem to like children very much.

"Don't." Sakura said sternly when she saw Tenten look at the pay phone.

"Why not?" She glared at her friend and boss.

"If she knows you are missing her, it will just make her distressed. It's a proven fact that a parent's emotions can affect-"

"Alright, alright." Tenten hadn't wanted to listen to all the facts; she just wanted to know how her daughter was.

"You worry too much. Momoko is the most mature, strong willed child I have ever met. Ino won't have any problems taking care of her." Sakura smiled at her friend, trying to lighten the mood.

Tenten just nodded, still worried about her daughter.

"We'll call Ino when we get to the hotel."

"Hotel?" Tenten sat up straighter and looked at the pink with surprise.

"Of course, where did you think we were staying?" Sakura gave a laugh to the brunette's response.

"But I…there's no way….I can't…" Tenten spluttered out.

"You need to relax a little. A nice hotel will be good for you."

Sakura knew she would have to convince her friend more to stay at a hotel, especially when she didn't have enough money to pay for it.

"It's for business, the company pays for it." Tenten just nodded nimbly before looking outside for the plane to arrive.

A soft knock awoke Neji, who rose groggily to answer it.

He didn't let any other emotion be seen on his face, but seeing the bulging suitcase in the hallway made it difficult.

Who would be coming to his house at this hour?

He rarely had visitors because of the inconvenience of getting to the house and that the only people he knew were all for business purposes.

Neji looked out the side window to try and see the visitor, but the night sky was too dark and it was raining hard.

Neji didn't even bother to wonder why he hadn't known it was raining.

He opened the door slowly, revealing a small figure.

There was silence for a second as Neji tried to identify the visitor, but he soon discovered it was a stranger.

"Neji? Neji Hyuga?" Her voice sounded very familiar in an odd way.

"Yes?" He said carefully, analysing the little girl at the same time.

She looked up, water droplets falling off her dark brown hair.

Neji barely noticed anything else because he was too focused on the lavender eyes which looked at him with longing.

If it hadn't been for her eyes, Neji Hyuga probably would have made the girl go away.

Eyes identical to his wouldn't break contact and they both stood there for awhile, just watching and waiting.

The little girl shivered violently and finally broke eye contact to pull her soaked coat more around herself.

Neji held the door open more for her, not daring to say anything.

She seemed to understand and stepped inside without a word.

The smaller lavender eyes scanned the room tiredly, but the excitement was still vivid in her eyes.

It was a few long seconds before Neji gained more control of himself.

"Do you need something?" His tone was cautious, as if he didn't want to begin thinking about who this girl was.

"Somewhere to sleep." She looked down; perhaps shy for asking such a favour.

He nodded before turning down the right hallway, leading the way to a guest room.

For who was she other than a guest?

He pushed open the door and watched as she walked into the bedroom, her feet slopping with every step.

Neji didn't bother to say anything else; the girl was already crawling into the bed. He closed the door faster than his controlled self would have liked.

But he couldn't help it; he had to escape from the confusion this girl had brought.

He definitely couldn't talk to her right now. He would have to sort out his thoughts first and she would need some sleep.

Who was she?

Neji leaned against the wall, staring at the floor as possibilities swarmed his mind.

Momoko didn't bother taking off her wet clothing. She was too tired, the walk had been troublesome.

She snuggled into the warmth and dryness of the bed.

The new environment frightened her, but also gave her a jolt of excitement.

The house seemed really quiet; perhaps he was the only one living here.

That was hard for her to believe because why would he need such a big house for himself?

She smiled to herself.

She was finally here; she was finally going to meet her Father.

She would finally know who he is.

Ino sat on her living room floor, cutting up pictures to paste in her scrapbook.

She was still mad at Tenten's daughter for ruining some of her favourite dresses.

Tenten also hadn't been very mad at her for doing that, she actually seemed a little pleased.

That only angered Ino more, but it was the way Tenten was.

She could be so frustrating. She had been friends with Tenten for many years, especially the last six. Tenten becoming a parent was the hardest task Ino had ever helped with.

Ino thought it would have made Tenten mature more, but it hadn't done much. The only thing it Tenten accepted was that she had more responsibilities and she would have to provide for herself and a child.

Momoko had been a surprisingly easy child to handle; she seemed to be born more mature than most children. Ino believed Momoko may be more mature than her mother. The thought of a six year old being more mature than Tenten made Ino laugh.

Ino looked over at her answering machine again and decided to replay the message.

Momoko's smooth voice came first.

"Hi Auntie. Mommy told me to tell you that I wasn't going to be staying at your place."

There was a pause as if the little girl was thinking about something.

"I should get her; you will want to hear from her."

Ino nodded to herself, agreeing with the girl's assumption.

A groan of annoyance sounded from the message, probably Tenten upset that she would have to contribute to the message.

Tenten definitely didn't like to deal with people, the next statement proved that.

"I'm sorry I don't need you anymore, thanks for offering to help though."

Ino rolled her eyes; trust Tenten to be polite and rude in the same sentence.

"Sorry, she's not in the greatest mood right now." Momoko said quietly, probably not wanting her mother to overhear.

"But I promise we can spend time together when she returns from her trip. Bye!" She hung up.

Ino shrugged; at least she wouldn't have to deal with the girl destroying her new dress.

Not a very long chapter, but it was only suppose to introduce everything. I wish I could have made it longer.

So how did I do? Review Please :)

Owari,
