Hello everyone! It's been a long time since last time I wrote a story... Well, that's a long story... Basically, my computer was all ways bugging when I was writing stories or doing stuff for school. One week-end, I got so tired of it that I start to talk about it to my mom and finally she bought me a new laptop! So now, I can finally put here this story that I wrote a month ago! S here my new story, it will be three chapters all in Neji's POV. It's kind of weird... I don't even remember how this story came in my mind... anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any character of this anime/manga.
Prologue
This isn't right. This shouldn't be. I shouldn't… This isn't right… so why does it keep coming back to me. Even if I fight it, it comes back, stronger each time. But still, I love her. I love her so much. I love her in a point that it goes more in real love then brotherly affection. But I can't… she's my half-sister.
Brother
Chapter 1
Her name is Tenten. Hyuuga Tenten. The daughter of Hyuuga Hizashi and Lin Tian. My name is Hyuuga Neji. The son of Hyuuga Hizashi and Hyuuga Ayame (nee Ota).
The history of my family was weird. My mother died when I was two years old, from an unknown illness. When I was three, my father arrived with an ill woman. She was beautiful. She had chocolate brown eyes and hair. A smile was always on her face, even if she was suffering. My father told me that the woman was pregnant from his baby and that we should protect her since she was pregnant and ill. The Hyuuga elders protest that an unmarried woman couldn't live with us and that they should get married if the child could be considerate an Hyuuga. Even though, my father and my uncle, Hiashi-sama, fought for her to stay. She finally could, saying that she was too weak anyway to do the ceremony of marriage.
Tian became for me a second mother. She was always cheerful and talking about her story of her natal country, China. After only six months, I became really attached to her, when she died, it was a real shock for me. I think everyone had seen it come but I was three years old. She only had been able to give birth to a little girl that my father called Tenten, in honor of her mother. Tenten was the copy of her mother. From the smile, to the hair, to the… eyes. No one in the clan understood. Even from an "none pure"mother, as said the elders, the Hyuuga moonlike eyes was the stronger gene from all (minus with the Uchiha Clan, but that was an other story). Since that, she was called the Hyuuga exception.
Two years passed and I was already six years old. Tenten was only two. We had discover that she had a fragile construction and that she could get sick pretty easily. My father was doing all to protect her and she was doing all to make him worry. Little Tenten was an explorer. At the minute she could be free, she was going the farthest that she could, making my father and I run after her.
Even though this year of my six and her second birthday had started well, it finished badly. My father died, protecting the people of the main branch of the family, mostly, his brother. The night before my father died, knowing the fate he would have, he made me promise to be strong and to protect my little sister with my life. I said yes.
Since that event, I started to hate the main branch. I was cold and unfriendly with everyone minus Tenten. Her warm smile and her shiny brown eyes was the only thing that could make me smile.
The year after, I started at the Academy to become a shinobi. My goal was to be the best shinobi and to surpass the member of the main branch.
Tenten was growing rapidly. She was three and finally stable on her feet. She was too a real chatterbox. When I came back from the Academy, I always went to her room to check if everything was alright. At the minute I opened the door, every time she screamed: "EJI-II-CHA!!" unable to say the N's in the sentence and came to hug me. She was always saying that she went to see "Hiata-ee-cha" and "Haabi-cha". Hinata-sama and Hanabi were our cousins, daughters of Hiashi-sama. I hated them to be in the main branch but Tenten was still playing with them. Hinata-sama was one year younger them me and Hanabi was six years under me, making her two years younger then Tenten.
After saying her day to me, she would always ask me how my day went, forcing me to talk more then to anyone else.
One day, when I was coming back from school and Tenten was waiting with a maid in front of the Hyuuga compound.
"Eji-ii-cha! I was waitig for you! But they did't wat to let me aloe, so the maid follow me!" said happily Tenten.
"You shouldn't had let her…" I said coldly to the maid. "She has to rest." The maid looked scared at my reaction but Tenten gripped her little hands on my pants.
"It's ot her fault! I wated it!" she replied. "I wat to ask you somethig!"
We started to walk in the compound, my little sister still hanging on my pants, the maid had bowed and went to her occupation.
"What is it?" I asked her softly.
"Ca I be a shiobi?" she asked, her eyes glowing in the sun.
"Well, not exactly…" I said, a pouted on her lips.
"Why?"
"Because shinobis are boys. Like you are a girl, you have to say a kunoichi." Tenten's eyes stared to glow again of joy.
"So I ca be a ku-oi-chi?" she said, having difficulty with the last word.
"If you get strong enough, yes you can." She smiled prettily and screamed:
"YATTA!" she started to jump around.
"Now Tenten, don't get to tired." I told her in a reproach, but she didn't listen to me.
"I have to tell it to Hiata-ee-cha!" she then ran to Hinata-sama's room.
I smiled softly. I always liked to see her excited, her little pigtails following her cute movement. Then, I sighed, remembering what I had told her. I wasn't sure if she could become a kunoichi. Her health wasn't the best and maybe Hiashi-sama would oppose her to make her life in a grander danger. I didn't want her to be in danger too but, I always loved to make her happy.
The day of Tenten's seventh birthday arrived. I was ten at the time, waiting for my eleventh birthday in July. Tenten was totally excited. She was sure that she would go to the Academy with me. When Hiashi-sama told her that her health was too weak to become a kunoichi, she cried and cried and cried so much, that even presents couldn't be enough for her. I passed all the evening with her in my arms, trying to comfort her. She didn't want to see anybody else. When she finally calmed down I promised her to train her little bit, just for her to know the basic.
"Really?" she asked, still trying to control her sobs.
"Really. I always keep my promise." She smiled and then hugged me the stronger that she could.
"Thank you, Neji-nii-chan! Thank you!"
She finished by falling asleep on my laps and I went to put her to her bed. She was so calm, in peace. It was in those time that I was sure that I would always protect her.
