Ok, Well I'm new to so please be kind. I love writing fan fiction, and never posted up my work on this site. I'm an author on A Single Spark, so if you like this fic, perhaps you'll like my other work. Just send me a review or something asking for my pen name, and I'll gladly give it to you. This is only a 2 chapter's fic, so I'll post the next chapter soon. Rated T but rating may go up in next chapter or so.

Distraction

The flick of a tail.

The twitch of an ear.

The blink of an eye.

All these small and insignificant actions caught the attention of raven-haired girl. For what others found unimportant, she found it the most interesting detail. Every little movement of the small animal in front of her seemed to catch her in a trance.

From the way its white fur brushed over in waves from the soft breeze, to the movement of its eyes flicking over to a bird passing by. This all brought the smallest smile to form on her pale, dry lips. With her delicate hands tucked under her chin, and pressed against the wood of the floor, she watched the small feline before her. Watching it from its level.

A soft laugh echoed around her when the cat did something that amused her. Her head tilted to the side, as she observed its particular actions. Others would probably ponder over why this cat held her interest so. If one asked her on any other day, she would probably stutter with a light blush staining her pale cheeks as she tried to come up with an answer. Like they would expect from the shy, gentle, Hinata.

Her white caecilian eyes softened as the kitten stretched and rested, closing its green eyes with a long yawn. Though on this day, if anyone were to ask her…She would probably merely shrug, too captivated in the feline's actions too pay much attention to those around her.

As said before, caught in her own world. She didn't even notice the soft padding of shoes heading in her direction. Nor did she hear when it paused for a few moments, as the owner of said shoes watched her.

Tick. Tock.

Tick. Tock.

Time seemed to drag on for a certain young hyuuga as he sat in a comfy chair. Though even the comfort of the chair he sat in, didn't cease the undying and everlasting boredom he held inside. Everything seemed normal about him from outside. The way he sat there just seemed to scream "untouchable" and "dignified". His face remained blank, as usual. Though if you looked close enough, you could see the hint of boredom written in his white eyes as he scanned the group of people in front of him.

He had been informed that he was required to show at a meeting. Why, he would never know. He hadn't been paying much attention, betraying the way it seemed as though he took interest in what the old geezers had to say. The only hints to his disinterest was the soft tapping of his shoe against the wooden floor, and the soft drumming his fingers made when they came in contact with his thigh.

All of which, went unnoticed.

Much to his relief, the meeting came to an end. The ones who attended stood and excused themselves. A few on their way out gave the Hyuuga a slight nod, one which he would he return.

"Good day, Neji-sama." One of the female percipients in the meeting gave him a polite nod as she exited the room. Others followed, showing respect for the cold Hyuuga as they excused themselves as well. He bid a few others farewell before escorting himself out. He didn't wish to stay enclosed within those four white walls any longer.

Only the soothing sound of his shoes gently coming in contact with the wooden floors as he strolled down the corridors of his 'home' reached his ears. As he would have guessed, most rooms he passed by were empty, having not been used for over quite a few years. Most who had attended the meeting had gone back to their chambers, so he hadn't expected the faint laughter that drifted down the halls. Although curiosity and slight annoyance for having his peace interrupted, washed over him in waves.

Following the sound, which had come to a stop only a while ago, he soon came upon the person he expected to see last. The very girl that seemed to cause his world anguish, although he refused to admit she had any effect on his life whatsoever. The one who took the role he was to play in life, who had snatched it from his grasp without even trying.

He watched her through dull eyes, taking note on how she didn't even sense his presence. She merely continued on playing with the small feline in front of her, as if it were some new sort of creature. He scoffed. How pathetic. If she couldn't even sense someone that stood but only five feet or so away, then how she'll ever survive as a ninja, he'll never know.

Having heard the soft sound that escaped the boy's lips, a small gasp escaped her own pale ones. Sitting up quickly, she glanced in his direction. White clashed with white the moment their eyes locked. She stared at his stoic face with a surprised expression. He was the last person she expected to see at this time. Dim moonlight shone down on the two figures as they remained without speaking a word to the other.

The soft breathing was the only sound heard for the longest time until the silence was finally broken.

"N-Neji-Sama." The soft and gentle voice of Hinata was the first to speak out. Standing up slowly, the thin material of her sun dress was slowly ceased of all wrinkles, only sticking to her body in the slightest. The moonlight that was let in shown down on her slim frame, making her creamy skin look much more appealing to the eye. Neji's was no exception.

His gaze skimmed over her petite form before returning to her face. His face was held with no emotion, as usual but this time there was a slight difference in the way he looked at her. Though of course, being Hinata, she was completely clueless to her cousin's odd stare. "Your father won't be all too pleased if he hears you're wasting time on a cat…at this late of an hour." His voice held the same silky texture as ever, but was oddly pleasing to her ears; less intimating then before.

When his eyes remained locked with hers, even after he had spoken, a shiver ran down her back. Her eyes slightly widened in horror when she realized the shiver wasn't one of fear, but of pleasure. She mentally shook her head, tossing away any stray thoughts before returning her attention back to the Hyuuga before her. She gave him a small bow before answering, head still lowered. "My father hasn't come back from a meeting, so I've had the evening free for the day." Her head snapped up when she heard his scoff once more.

A delicate eyebrow was raised at her. "Since when have you had a busy evening besides when you train, as you so foolishly call it?" His tone hadn't changed from the usual monotone, but she couldn't help but feel that smallest bit hurt from his words. Her face turned away, though she refused to cry in front of him. She wouldn't allow him the satisfaction that he brought her down to her knees yet again.

He watched her head turn away from him, and lower the slightest. He remained silent after that last comment and made no move to leave. "Gomen Nasi" He had almost missed her quiet apology, but caught it just in time. He continued to stare back at her through dull eyes. To tell the truth, he had no wish to argue with his cousin, for the meeting earlier had drained him of his energy. Even if all he had been doing was sitting in a chair the entire time.

After a few passing moments, he turned away from her and started heading toward his bedchambers. "Your apology is unnecessary." He didn't hear her footsteps follow him, so he assumed she stayed behind. It was only when the sound of a gasp and something making contact with the wooden floors reach his ears, did he stop. A million possibilities crossed his mind before he even turned and looked, but he hadn't expected the one he was about to see.

End of Chapter

There is the first chapter. Hope you guys liked it. Please review and tell me what you think. Sorry it wasn't much longer.

I may post a third chapter as well, but for now, I'm thinking about only two. It all depends on how the story progresses.
