A/N: I have decided to post these here too, bear in mind I'm yet to find a betareader and that English is not my fist language.

Enjoy.


Day 1 - Family

It was good that his presence alone seemed to be enough, that he didn't need to say anything, because he knew that no word in any human language would provide her comfort in this moment.

"He was not a good father," she finally said, there was no bitterness in her voice, it actually sounded hollow, detached of all feeling. It preoccupied him more than sentimental words would, and yet he could not move, for he never expected anything than a composed dignity from her.

"But he was a good leader" she turned to face him and his hand was drying her single tear before he could stop himself "I want to keep his legacy alive."

She smiled and pressed his hand closer to her cheek, it was the saddest smile he ever saw, and broke his heart more than the news that his uncle – that he did not love, but haven't hated for years – was dead.

"I want to change the Hyuuga. For him, for his brother, for you… Will you help me, Neji?"

He swallowed. It was the first time ever that she called his name without remembering him that they were in fact family, that his feelings were wrong.

"Yes" he managed to say, and her smile didn't seem as gloomy anymore.
