Oh well... Have you read Chapter 614 yet? No? Then I suggest you run far away... This one-shot contains a spoiler... :'(

Is this really right? I mean... first, Kishimoto decided to let the Kage fight against Madara and be dead yet. Then he decides to make Tobi really Obito... After that, Shikaku and Inoichi die. And most of all, in Chapter 614, NEJI dies. I mean... Really? He let's Neji die? :'( ARE YOU FUCKIN' KIDDIN' ME?

Well, sorry for that... ENJOY THE STORY!

Moonlight Shadows

„Neji!"

I heard myself scream out into the night. I sat on my bed, completely covered in sweat, tears pouring down my face. I buried my head in my hands and began to sob quietly. Why him… I kept asking myself. I fell back on the pillow and curled up into a little ball. Like that I remained, while memories assailed me. Neji, as he smiled for the first time ... as he kissed me for the first time ... My sobs broke through the crushing silence of the room. Would I ever cease to grieve, to ask me if I could have saved him? I shook my head incessantly. I could barely think straight. I almost choked of the searing pain in my heart. while I was in bed from side to side rolling.

Suddenly the moonlight brightened my room. And in the silvery light appeared almost translucent figure. I sat up slowly, watching as it solidified. "Neji ..." I whispered, choking and more tears running down my face. He smiled a little sadly. I shakily stood up and walked over to him. When we hugged, he somehow felt so cold… So distant, but oh so near… I couldn't help myself. I didn't want to let go… Not again…

"I have died everyday waiting for you…"

I whispered into his hair. It still smelled like it did when we were together. Like wild strawberries, a little piece of heaven. I sobbed again.

"Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. I love you for a thousand more…"

he whispered back and held me in his arms. I buried my head in his chest, taking in this last moment. Because I knew he would be gone the time we parted again.

"Don't go away now, Neji… I need you… here with me…" I mumbled, eyes closed, tears streaming down like a little river. I could hear his voice shake, when he whispered: "Don't forget me…" When he let go of me, I looked up. But he was gone.

I broke down. I just couldn't stand anymore. The only thing that would have got me back down to earth would have been Neji. But he wasn't here anymore… He would never come back. I didn't hear my mother and sister come in. I didn't hear them while they stroke my hair and tried to soothe my pain. I just heard myself whisper:

"I will be brave…
I will not let anything take away…
For you, Neji, I'll carry on."
