A/N: Yay! A new fanfic! I felt inspired while revising maths for my finals T_T so... prologue is a little bit dramatic. After reading some very good fanfics with Itachi and Neji, I felt like writing one too cause they're so great together! ^^ I really think they're very much alike, plus they make a hot couple, ohohohoho! / Enjoy and Review please, I love reading what you think of my stories!


-Prologue-

The boy covered his face with his clenched fists, his long brown hair billowing in the wind. He gasped for air, only to continue weeping.

He was a disgrace as a son. It was his duty to protect the people around him, the people of his family and yet, he had failed miserably. How could he go on living knowing that he had let down his father?

He couldn't…

The boy's cries had quitened and he was now shivering from the cold. Tears were still falling from his pale eyes but the wailing had stopped. He raised his head and looked at the evening shy.

He knew what he had to do…

He searched inside the folds of his clothes and gripped the cold metal handle of a kunai. With shaking hands, he took it off his pocket. The sharp blade was shining deadly with the remaining light.

He knew what he had to do…

The boy had held a blade many times before, even used it on someone. But it had never looked so menacing… More tears clouded his vision as he positioned the tip of the kunai in front of his stomach. He wiped them away with his sleeve and looked down at his other hand, the one holding the tool of his redemption. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He had failed his father…

He knew what he had to do…

And the blade flashed forward.


A/N: Cliffhanger of absolute doom! Oh... suspence is whiping me like a sadistic maniac!

See ya next chapter! - JZA
