"It's because they called me a genius."

The genius of the Hyuga clan is dead.

Neji Waits

By: Ella Craft

A genius looked down from the clouds with pale eyes.

Over and over he apologized for letting down his allies.

Heaven wasn't at all what he thought it would be,

He thought it was a place where he could be free.

But he was wrong, he felt caged.

Everything it had to offer made him outraged.

He couldn't run or feel drained,

Not only that but his clothes stayed bloodstained.

He had come just the way he had died.

The way he looked made him want to cry.

The hole through his stomach was sickening to the eye.

The others looked so pure, he didn't understand why.

Why did he still look battered and beaten?

Was it because Obito had defeated him?

Was his death not honorable?

That last thought was unbearable.

Then suddenly he figured it out.

He was ghost wandering about.

He had unfinished business with a certain someone.

Someone who had his back during a mission.

But not just through missions, in life as well.

Someone who was fighting off a living hell.

Tenten, his secret love.

He hated watching her from above.

He wanted to have her back, like always.

The memories of Tenten sets itself on replays.

He thought about all the times he could have told her.

How many times he should have held her.

The countless times he could have kissed her.

The hours spent alone he should have spent with her.

In a flash Neji was unseen on the battlefield.

He stood where he used himself as a human shield.

He scanned the battle searching for Tenten.

But all he saw were his beaten clansmen.

He looked up to see a triumphant Naruto.

In his hands he held a dead Obito.

Then he saw his cousin, Hinata, standing beside them.

right next to her was, was- Tenten!

Neji practically flew next to her.

In a second he tried to hold her.

His hands passed through her body.

His eyes watered and his vision turned blurry.

How could he tell her his emotions?

He surely couldn't use his actions.

Then how could he do it?

In the end he never gives her the hint.

All her life he watches her and waits.

He waits until death is Tenten's only fate.

When they meet each other once more,

her spirit is that of a woman unsure.

"Neji, is that you?"

Her body is renewed.

She is young again with tears of joy rolling down her face.

He took her into his arms and fully enjoyed their long embrace.

She looks down at his bloody figure.

The hole in his gut made her quiver.

She hated remembering that day.

That horrible day when Neji was slayed.

"I love you-" Neji began.

Tenten was shocked so he said it again.

"I love you so much-" His ghost became spirit.

He had spoke what once had been private.

"I love you too" Tenten replied.

Neji pulled her into a rough collide.

Their bodies then started to fade,

They felt lighter than what they have ever weighed.

All rightly! Tell me what sucked or what didn't suck. What are your emotions? Do you hate it, love it... TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL.
