Neji bit his lip fearfully and looked up at the sky. Almost sunset. He picked up his bow and arrow and hid it within the depths of his cloak. They'd be out soon. And they recently took his cousin, best friend, and fiancé into their own. They bit her. Turned her into one of them. A vampire. He shuddered in disgust, and partly of a cold rush of wind coming into the land.
He didn't care about redemption before they took her. He wanted her back, and he knew he could not get her. But he could end her suffering, and he could avenge her pain by killing the vampires who bit her.
"Hinata," he whispered.
Night fell came, more quickly than Neji wanted it to have. He had waited four years for a chance to avenge his almost sister like cousin, and future wife. But now that he knew he had the chance, he really would have preferred to be back at home not killing these fowl creatures of the undead.
A twig broke from behind him, and alertly the young boy twirled around to see the attacker. Upon sight of her, he almost stopped breathing.
She had gotten even more so pale, and her eyes seemed to show more malice and intent for blood than he had ever seen his fair cousin hold. But the lips on her face was those of pure innocence. Her eyes widened, and her lips curled into a small smile, as if relieved to see him.
"Neji," she whispered, in a voice he couldn't tell was concerned. Her voice had grown into a boring monotone kind of voice, but Neji was still happy to see her.
"Hinata-sama!" he exclaimed happily, and rushed over to embrace her. He held her tightly against him, and let himself take in the scent of her hair. She had not aged at all in the last four years, and even still, he allowed himself to lust for her. He kissed her cheek.
"Neji," she whispered harshly, "I'm a decoy..." and then gestured with her eyes to behind him.
"What?" he asked, spinning around just in time to be tackled by a man with glowing red eyes and long black hair.
"Stop it! Itachi!" Neji could hear Hinata begging. Neji was unconscious, but could feel hot breath on his neck, and a sadistic laugh as a tongue slid up the length of it, and then teeth sank in.
And Neji could feel himself changing, changing into something evil. A change that he was powerless to stop.
"NEJI!" he could hear Hinata's voice, screaming in fear, but could not see where she was. He couldn't move his body, even though the numbing pain told him that he was still alive. He could feel his aching mouth changing to make way for his newly found teeth.
"H-hinata..." he grunted. His body lay buried in the snow, and the person he had been trying to kill had changed him into an embodiment of evil. His cousin, the young girl who was to have been his wife was now further from his grasp. It's amazing, how in a single moment your life can change so much.
From fearing death to being death, from being against the vampire race to being a vampire.
He would have to get up before sunrise, and find a place to hide. Or he could just let the sun fry his evil body. He had failed her. Failed her. After four years of waiting, in only one moment he had lost her again. His hand twitched lightly, and he vowed subconsciously to himself that even being a member of the undead, he would still save her. The day would come when they could be together again. He grunted and slowly crawled away to safety. For the time being.
Should I continue this? I know I should be working on Devil horns, but I got writers block for that. Anyways, if people want, I'll continue this. It'll most likely be really long. Any feedback would be nice, and any characters that you think should have a special importance will be considered. I will not ever ever ever pair Neji up with Sakura, however, there may be some Neji/Ten. Or at least one sided. And because I love him, Shino will be a very important character. Poor guy never shows up in like, any fics. Please review! Thank you.
