There was a girl standing on his doorstep - a plain, ordinary, nondescript girl standing on his doorstep. And she was very angry. One did not need superior deductive skills to detect such. But that still did not explain why she was on his doorstep.

"Lord Hiashi," the girl muttered respectfully as she bowed her head.

She seemed familiar somehow. He felt like he'd seen her before, but couldn't quite place where. That was unusual. He never forgot a face.

But then again, upon taking a closer look at her he decided perhaps it was not so unusual. Hers was a forgettable face. It was not that she was ugly - not at all. Ugly was hardly forgettable. He supposed that with a bit of effort she could be quite lovely, but if this were the way she carried herself usually, she'd be forgettable.

"Have I seen you before?" he demanded. He never asked.

The girl did not look him in the eye as she answered. At least she knew her place.

"Perhaps, my lord. I am one of your nephew's teammates."

Hiashi's gaze sharpened. How had he forgotten that one of Neji's teammates was a female? Apparently it was this female. He could hardly imagine Neji falling in love with a girl as unremarkable as her, but there was a possibility. Love worked in strange ways and when it came to Neji's female companions, he had but two: Hinata and his female teammate. Her.

There was the possibility that Neji was interested in someone Hiashi did not know of, but that also seemed unlikely. Neji did not sneak around under the clan's watchful eye to dally with unsuitable female cohorts.

This plain girl before him was quickly becoming the most likely suspect, but he would have to observe them together to be sure.

"What is your name?" he demanded.

"Tenten."

Hiashi resisted the urge to sneer. No noteworthy surname to be heard there. She hadn't supplied a surname at all, suggesting she was embarrassed to do so. That meant no notable blood ran through her veins. That meant she was unfit for his nephew. Neji deserved greater than this. She would only bring him down. Of all the Hyugas that currently existed, Neji's future was the brightest and he would not let his nephew make a mistake in his youth that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"I suppose you are here to see my nephew, Tenten," he stated.

"I am. I am sorry to disturb your home, but this matter is urgent."

Hiashi raised a brow. Urgent? He'd almost forgotten how angry she'd been when he'd first come across her. Was such potent anger directed towards Neji? And why? Had they a falling out of a sort? He could not imagine that there would be any other reason that this girl would be so angry with Neji unless they were emotionally involved.

But it was only a theory, one he would test out. He would let this girl see his nephew, but only to gauge the outcome of their encounter. Hopefully Neji knew what was best for himself and his clan.
