Neji Hyuuga. Even his name catches me off guard. How to describe him? He's unique. Special. He may be rude sometimes but I know that deep down inside, he's trying to get people to like him for who he is, not for how strong he is. But he pushes people away. He acts like he doesn't want to get too close to someone.
I'm pretty much his best friend. "Miku!" An angry voice shouted, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Y-yes, Father?" I asked, getting scared. "Get down here, now!" He roared "Okay, Father." I said, reluctantly going down the stairs. "You failed your chakra control test?" He asked me furiously. "Yeah, but it wasn't my fault!" I defended. "Naruto distracted me with his… um…" I was not about to say Naruto's jutsu's name. Especially not in front of my dad. "Don't give me your pathetic excuses!" I felt a stinging feeling in my cheek. He had slapped me.
It's not new, though. My dad's an alcoholic. I have bruises all over me because of him. When someone asks me why I have them I just tell them it's from training. Reasonable response right? Right? "And I hear you're hanging around that Hyuuga boy, also?" Hedemanded. "So what if I am?" I challenged. Very stupid idea because the next moment I was punched into the wall behind me. I quickly stood up and bolted out the door. I knew I couldn't hit back. That's how I got the scar on my arm. I ran to the forest to my special place. Tears were freely running down my face. Why does he have to be like that? Ever since Mom died… I was wallowing in self-pity for a few minutes until someone softly spoke my name. "Miku?" Neji asked, walking cautiously towards me. I quickly wiped thetears from my eyes and asked him what he was doing here. "I'm allowed to take a walk through the forest, aren't I?" He answered "I guess so..." I said He sat down next to me and looked at me. "What happened to your face?" he asked me. Now I don't know about you but that is not something you ask a girl. But I knew what he meant. "Training accident." I lied.
"Miku, that didn't happen in a training accident." Neji said, looking at me skeptically "It looks like a handprint."
He lightly touched my cheek. And then his eyes turned dark "It was your father wasn't it?" He asked. More tears started falling down my face. "Miku.." He said softly pulling me into a hug. "You know you can tell me anything" "I know, Neji." I told him He looked me in the eyes and leaned towards me. Anyone could see what would happen next. And it did Neji Hyuuga kissed me. I instantly kissed him back.
"Miku, I love you. Don't you forget that." He told me when we broke the kiss "I love you, too, Neji." I said smiling for the first time in weeks. He kissed me again and all my troubles went away. Even the question 'What is my father going to do to me when i get home?' I honestly didn't care.
I just wanted to be with Neji.
NEJI IS MY SECOND FAVORITE CHARACTER IN NARUTO (AFTER ITACHI OF COURSE) SO I HOPE YOU ENJOYED!
