My second Naruto fic! I'm starting it because I'm getting close to finish my other one. I know I said that my other story thing was coming first, but I don't really want to write that right now, so I'm writing this one!

It's a Neji/OC one. I don't know. I just thought of something. :pp

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except for the few OCs.

Chapter 1: Neji and Akiko

"Neji I have a mission for you." Tsunade told him.

Neji's PoV

"What is it this time?" I ask.

"Hold on. I'm waiting for another person to show up."

"Who?"

"Me." The door opens and someone walks in.

I turn around to see a girl around my age…maybe a couple years younger…she has light brown hair and deep chocolate eyes. I'm half a head taller then her too. She has tan skin and a nice calming smile. She wears long black flowing pants, and a dark blue halter-top.

I smile at her and she smiles back at me and waves. When she does, I notice a scar on her neck running down to her chest. She tilts her head to one side confused. I look back at her and smile again.

"Okay! Well, now that you are both here, we can get started. You two will be leaving on an errand for me. Okay I lied. But you guys will be leaving…to protect someone." Tsunade tells us. "You will be leaving in a few days, so get last minute training, get to know each other, pack, rest, and be back here in a few days, got it?"

I nod, and the girl now besides me smiles at Tsunade and gives her a thumbs-up. We both walk out and she turns to me.

"I'm Akiko! And you are…"

Jeez she's perky.

"Neji."

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Neji!" She holds out her hand for me to shake. I take it and shake it.

"Likewise."

She doesn't let go of my hand, but instead drags me outside with her. I stand behind her and that's when I notice another scar on her back right shoulder. But the scar looks more like a brand that has the kanji (character) heart. As she looks around outside taking a few breaths of air, I reach and trace my finger on the scar. She freezes suddenly and turns around. I'm taken by surprise. I don't know why I did what I did…something about that scar…

"Um…I know it's a stupid question…but, were you tracing the scar on my back shoulder?" she asks me.

I blush lightly, but it is clearly visible since I have pale skin.

"I-I'm sorry…it's just…that scar…I've seen it somewhere before I think…"

"My older sister had one like mine…Akemi…"

That's it! Wait…Akemi…

"Akemi…as in my late girlfriend Akemi?"

All she did was nod.

Akemi. When I was 16, a friend of mine had introduced her to me. She was beautiful, brilliant in every way. She passed away about a year ago. We went out for a year before that. I find out 2 years later she has a sister!

"That's probably where I saw it…" I tell Akiko.

That's when I realize how much she looks like her older sister. Suddenly I remember everything I did with Akemi. What it was like to be with her again. To feel her in my arms. Akiko acts like Akemi also I notice. Akemi was always so cheerful and kind to everyone. It was like I forgot her, only to remember when I look at Akiko.

"Do you miss her?"

I snap out of my memories and look back Akiko.

"I…of course I miss her. Don't miss her too?"

"Of course I miss her! She was my sister…"

"Akiko, how old are you?" I ask her. I know it may seem random but I need to figure something out.

"17…"

"That's how old Akemi would be…in fact, she would be turning 17 today…"

"I know. I'm her younger twin sister."

By now we are both walking along side a river.

"She talked about you a lot. Always saying how great you were."

"Oh really?" I look at her watching her kick a little pebble as we walk.

"How come she never mentioned you?" I ask.

She stops in place. I see the light smile that she wore fade slowly into a small frown. She bites her lip and chokes back a quiet sob.

"She was always ashamed of me. I told her that one day I would live up to her expectations and show her that I am worthy of her respect. My parents always favored her because she was born first. Everyone would ignore me and give full attention to Akemi. I actually hated her for that. But I didn't want her to pass away. Now that she's gone, my parents don't even look at me. They said that I look to much like the daughter that filled their hearts with joy…" Akiko told me.

I look at her with my pure white eyes, sympathy overflowed in my heart. It reminded me of my father and my uncle. My uncle was born first, therefore the head of the family. Just because my father was born a few minutes after…

I turn to Akiko to see a few tears roll down her cheeks. She does remind me of Akemi, but that doesn't mean that I would shun her out of my life. I suddenly do the unexpected…I walk in front of Akiko and pull her into a tight embrace. She buries her head into my shoulder and cries. I hold her closer to me, trying to comfort her. The few moments I have with her…I promise never to forget.

Akiko…

Anyways, if you want another chapter, review! I will surely appreciate it!
