It was late and Destiny sat with her back against a tree waiting for Neji to come so they could train."Ugh, he's 20 minutes late!!" Destiny said sighing. "Something must have come up. I'll ask about it tomorrow." She spoke to herself getting up and walking towards the path leading to the compound, when she reached the edge of the forest she heard two voices. She jumped into a tree so she could see them better. who would be out here this late? she thought. What she saw caused her heart to break. There walking with Ten-ten was Neji. Normally this wouldn't have bothered her but they were walking away from the compound together. Not to mention how they were acting, Neji whispered into her ear causing her to laugh and a smirk\smile to appear on his face. Then Ten-ten grabbed his hand and pulled him forwards. Tears were running down Destiny's face. She ran back into the forest not noticing the head that turned to see her. why? Why? After all the time we've spent together he chose HER over me! She just kept running she didn't know where to, and she didn't care. All the sudden she tripped and fell face fist into the grass. As soon as she stood she was falling again. I must have twisted my ankle she thought scooting till she had her back to a tree. She hugged her knees and began to sob. "Why? Why?" she repeated.

"Why what?" a familiar voice asked.

"Go away!" Destiny said still sobbing

"No" came Neji's flat reply "Not till you tell me what's wrong"

"What's it matter to you?" Destiny said.

"Can I not worry about my girlfriend?" he said reaching out to touch her.

Destiny slapped his hand away. "Worry about your girlfriend huh? Is Ten-ten upset?"

Neji drew his hand back and looked at her in confusion. "Ten-ten? She's not my girlfriend! You of all people should know that." He stated.

Destiny laughed bitterly "I used to think I knew that"

"Used to? What changed it?" Neji asked.

Destiny looked at him, her sobbing had stopped but tears still fell. "It was kinda obvious you liked her" Destiny said "The way you whispered in her ear and walked her home from a date –"

"DATE!! What date?" Neji asked now beyond confused. One of his best friends (and girlfriend) sat in front of him in tears and won't say why and now she believed he was dating someone else.

"The date you where walking her home from when I saw you. The one that was the reason you didn't show for training." Destiny said looking back down. "I thought you and I where something special Neji. "The way you treated me made me feel special, like I was the only one you wanted." She said the tears coming faster.

"I don't know what you're talking about when it comes to a date Destiny, but you are special. You're the onl-"

"Oh just stop it!" Destiny shouted. "Stop lying to me!! I saw you with Ten-ten, so stop trying to tell me otherwise!"

Neji just looked at her. She had never acted like this before. He wasn't sure what had happened but at least he knew what she thought. She thinks I was on a date with Ten-ten tonight. She thinks I was cheating on her.

Destiny hugged her knees closer and began crying again. I finally give him my heart, and he crushes it. Is this what falling in love is? Loving someone only to have them crush the heart you handed them and then lie about it. she thought. Destiny was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice Neji move closer.

"I don't know what made you believe what you do, what I do know is I love you and only you." He whispered in her ear. "I'll do anything to prove that." He added.

Destiny just looked at him. The way he said it, the look in his eyes, was he really telling the truth. "Then what really happened" she whispered almost to herself.

"Guy-sensei decided we would train in the woods tonight. After training I told Ten-ten I'd walk her home." Neji explained.

Destiny looked up and met her pale grey eyes with his. "Then why were to whispering in her ear and laughing?" Destiny asked, her tears momentarily stopped.

"Oh that? Well Ten-ten brought sugar cookies to training. At the end of training we all ate a few. Lee ate one too many sugar cookies and went on a sugar rush!" Neji said. Destiny began to laugh at the thought of Lee on a sugar rush. She looks so much better when she smiles Neji thought "And as for the whispering, I was complimenting the cookies which reminded us of Lee." He finished

Destiny looked at Neji and tears formed in her eyes again. "I'm so sorry I doubted you Neji! I was just so scared that you-" the tears started to fall again "That you were choosing Ten-ten over me. I mean she deserves you more than me, she's strong, loving. And beautiful. Unlike me." She said,

Neji began to shake his head, "Sh" he said placing his finger on her lips. "Destiny you're all that and much more, don't you EVER doubt you're worth." He picked her up and placed her in his lap. Destiny just snuggled close to him, happy she was still his. For a while both sat in silence listening to their hearts beat in time. "Destiny?" Neji said looking down at her.

"Hmm?" She answered.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I would be missing training and that I made you so upset." He apologized.

"It's okay Neji, I forgive you," She said happily.

"You ready to head home?" he asked. Destiny just nodded. Neji got to his feet and put his hand out for her to grab. She took it and stood and they began walking home. Neji quickly realized Destiny was limping slightly.

"Destiny what's wrong with your right foot?" Neji asked

"Oh it's nothing, I just twisted it when I was running, I don't think the twist is that bad." Destiny answered. Neji made her stop and sit so he could look at it. He carefully removed her sandal and looked at her foot. It was swollen and red.

"Not that bad huh?" he said smirking he barely moved his fingers across her ankle. Destiny yelped in pain. Neji sighed "What am I going to do with you?" He pulled out some bandages and began rapping her ankle. Destiny would yelp every now and then when he touched the tender spots. "There" he said finishing.

Destiny began to put her shoe on but Neji grabbed it first. "What are you doing?" Destiny asked.

"Stopping you from doing something stupid" he answered.

"Excuse me?" she said,

"You shouldn't put any weight on it." Neji stated.

"That's fine but how am I sposed to get home without walking?" She asked

Neji smirked. "Like this!" He said swooping her up in his arms then taking off towards the compound, once he was sure she wasn't going to try and get down he slowed his pace.

"I'm glad I'm still yours" Destiny said locking eyes with Neji.

"Don't worry, no other boy will ever get you" Neji stated

"What about the ones who try?" Destiny asked.

Neji got his signature smirk "It'll be the last thing they do!"

"You're a bit possessive you know that Neji?" she said.

"Only over you, and it's called protective." He replied

"Oh my bad, I must have gotten them mixed up!" she said laughing. Neji chuckled then leaned down and kissed her cheek. "You missed" Destiny stated flatly

Neji looked puzzled then caught on "My bad, I must not have been paying attention." He commented. Then he kissed her again, but this time on the lips.

"Much better!" Destiny said slightly breathless. Destiny snuggled against his chest till she could hear his heart beat then drifted to sleep. Neji smiled at the girl in his arms. When he reached her back door he knocked with his foot. Okamiappeared and opened the door Odd and Orrick stepped up behind her.

"Hello Neji" Orrick greeted. Neji just nodded then looked down. They followed Neji's gaze to the sleeping Destiny.

"Will one of you fetch Araya while I put Destiny to bed please" Neji said. Odd nodded and ran off while Neji walked with Okami to put Destiny to bed. Okami opened the door and turned down the sheets then left. Nejicarefully put Destiny to bed and pulled up the covers followed by removing her headband. Destiny shifted in her sleep and Neji kissed her now bare forehead then placed her headband on the dresser and noted the necklace lying nearby with a note.

Hey little sis,

I got you're necklace fixed, I had them make a stronger chain so it won't break as easily. You're father stopped by before I left. He said he had another mission and should be home in a couple days.

From,

You're big bro

Neji looked at the note puzzled big bro? Since when did Destiny have an older brother? I'll ask about that later he thought. He walked out and shut the door quietly behind him. Araya was waiting on the couch.

"You wanted to see me?" she said.

"Yeah, Destiny twisted her ankle today and shouldn't put any weight on it for 2 days" Neji said.

"K I'll keep an eye on her for ya, is that all you need." Araya asked.

"Yeah, Thanks." Neji replied.

"No prob." Araya answered. With that Neji got up and left for his room. As Neji walked out the door he passed a young man with long shaggy blond hair and violet eyes. The figure glared at him for a second, then walked into Destiny's house. A cold chill ran down Neji's spine as they passed shoulders. Who was he? Neji wondered as he walked down the hall.

Authors notes: Well oddly enough this was a school paper...that turned into a story thanks to Aya-chan. When I sent her the first part she cept bugging me to write more, which is why there's a second chapter to this one.
