"Brother Neji, we fight." Hinata wasn't too sure what she was doing when she said that. She merely wanted to prove him wrong. She wanted to show everyone that she was strong. She wanted to change herself.
It was odd, though. During the fight, Hinata wasn't thinking about Neji, how to beat him, or even the differing branches of her family tree.
You sit there in your heartache
waiting on some beautiful girl to
save you from your old ways
Hinata had been watching Naruto, often to the point of stalking, since they were in the academy. Naruto, however, had been chasing that shallow fan-girl Sakura. Sure, she's pretty, but in the big scheme of things, did that honestly matter?
Don't look a thing like she does,
But she talks like a gentle soul,
Like you imagined
When you were young
At this point, the battle had really heated up and Hinata couldn't afford to lose anymore thoughts at the moment. Neji obviously had the upper hand, but Hinata refused to go down. Then, the brunette Hyuuga landed a hard blow to her neck bone. Hinata gasped, and momentarily was paralyzed. She fell to the floor in a heap. Blood dripped from her mouth. Very slowly, she got up on her feet. Well, at least Neji's gentleman enough not to attack while I'm on the ground.
And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
when you were young
back when you were young.
Hinata glanced back up to the stands. Yup, Naruto was still yelling at her to kick the jerk's butt. He was probably just mad at Neji for kicking her around like a rag doll, but his cheers gave her confidence and strength. Hinata refused to forfeit. She ran back towards Neji, her hands ready to strike.
AN: Yeah, the song doesn't have much to do with the story, but I love the song and I love Hinata. This is what ya get. And it's really short. PLEASE REVIEW!
