Really, he was so stupidly predictable at this age. Always trying to bitch about the main family and the branch family. Now that she was older and knew what happened between their fathers and what his issue was, she was not inclined to indulge his temper tantrums.

"That doesn't matter, you idiot." Her eyes were as cold as ice, colder than the wind that blew through the streets.

I'm glad that you grow up eventually, because it's nice to have a family member who doesn't expect me to fail all of the time, but I'm done with you already today. You want to be a little brat for the rest of your life, fine. Do so. It seems as if someone," she pointed to her/his neck contemptuously, "finds you acceptable, but that is not me."

She leaned in closer, annoyed that he was taller than her in her own body. "And for the record, Neji-kun, you should look into better cover ups for your hickeys. They itch."
