He looked out of his room window, through his silver eyes. He laid restlessly on his bed, and could not sleep. Moonlight flooded his bed, and he liked it. His name was Hyuuga Neji, and he was 17 years old. Newly appointed Jounin, and strongest of the noble Hyuuga clan. He decided to take a walk, since it didn't look like he was going to get any sleep soon. Jumping out of his window in the Hyuuga mansion, he landed on the grass quietly. Looking around he saw only trees, and darkness.
Walking through the late night haze, Neji was bored. He longed for some excitement, even though he just got home from an A rank mission in the grass country. Still bored out of his mind, he thought that this could be the pefect time to train. He loved training, he always wanted his body to stay in top physical shape. He sensed someone in the bushes behind him and turned.
"What are you doing out here Hinata?" He asked coldly, turning to his cousin of the Main family.
"Um, nothing Neji-nii-san..I j-just heard you leaving the house, and w- wondered what you were up to." Hinata said timidly. Her cousin always scared her when he acted cold to her, which was pretty much everytime she saw him.
"Go back to the house, now!" Neji sneered. Hinata ran off back in the direction of the Hyuuga estate without saying another word. He eyed her for a second then turned his back on her, as he walked up to his favorite place to train. He would usually train with TenTen, but seeing how it was the dead of night, he could'nt.
Throwing a few punches and kicks into a tree, night quickly disappeared and Neji decided to try and get some sleep now. He walked home and laid down on his cold sheets, but fell asleep thanks to his tiring training.

Across town, people we're waking up to start a brand new day. Full of surprises and unexpected turns. Sadly, this was not the case for a certain pink haired chuunin. Haruno Sakura awoke in her bed, before rubbing the sleep off her eyes after a near ten minutes. She got up and walked to the bathroom. Parting from her clothes, she took a nice cold wake me up shower, and got dressed. She knew exactly what would happen today. She would get assigned a dull mission, if that. She would then find herself wandering toward Ichiraku ramen, and of course end up seeing Naruto there. He would smile his fox grin and say "Good morning Sakura-chan!". She was used to this by now though. It had been four years since she had seen her other teammate, Sasuke. But by now that was all she thought of him as, her former teammate. Sasuke had left to receive power from Orochimaru. (I think you all know that story). Sakura had once had a young crush on him, but she grew out of it, knowing it was childish. While he was still here, she even asked herself, "Why do I still like him anyway!? He's a total ass, and there are plenty of cute guys out there." (Oh and don't worry, Sasuke won't be returning in this fic, atleast not anytime soon. Yay! Stabs Sasuke plushie with spork) So she has long since moved on, and even admitted to herself that she liked it alot better this way. She had never really thought about pursuing other guys, though, maybe because she just hasn't met the right one yet. She got up and walked outside. Strolling along the street, she noticed a blonde hair blue eyed girl coming her way.
"Ino-pig!" she called, while a very familiar "Big-foreheaded girl!" came in reply. They ran up to each other and laughed, of course now have becoming friends in the past four years.
"Where's your boyfriend?" Sakura said, looking around.
"Oh, Shikamaru? He's on a mission right now" Ino said, slightly drooping her head down. They have been together for the past 2 months now when they finally admitted their feelings for each other.
"What do you want to do today Sakura," Ino said.
"Hmm, how about we go see what Hinata's doing!"
"Great idea! Let's go."
The two rushed off to the secluded Hyuuga mansion to get their friend Hinata. They arrived in front of the gate, and by now the gatekeeper knew who they were so he quickly opened up. Walking up the seemingly endless flights of steps, they finally reached the white door at which Hinata's room was on the other side. Sakura knocked lightly and Hinata told them to come in.
"Hello, Hinata." Came simultaneously from Sakura and Ino. Hinata was surprised to see them here this early, but let out a cheerful "Hey girls". She smiled as she asked what's up.
"You want to come with us out to breakfast?" said Sakura. Hinata quickly nodded and they set off. All three of the girls had grown up in their own way. They all managed to reach the chuunin level at pretty much the same age, and they had all developed into quite stunning young ladies. All changing with age, and filling out in all the right places. They had been friends for a while now, and they liked spending their days together. Sakura smiled to herself thinking of all the times they've had together growing up.
They finally reached the Ramen place, and surprisingly enough, they didn't see Naruto there. Hinata was slightly disappointed at this, for she has had a crush on Naruto for a long time. She probably cared for him more now than anyone else in this village. Noone saw Naruto as Hinata did. Sakura and Naruto were good friends, but she knew Hinata cared for him more than even her. They ordered their ramen and ate. Talking about anything that came to mind, they had a nice morning together. Early in the afternoon, Ino had to part. She said that Shikamaru was expected back anytime now and she wanted to be there when he did. Saying their goodbyes, Hinata and Sakura were left by themselves. Hinata gazed at Sakura and said, "W-would you like to c-come over my house Sakura-chan?" Sakura smiled and nodded. She has of course been to Hinata's house. But has only seen the one part where Hinata's room was. She sorta wondered what it was like to live in a gigantic house with maids and servants that tended to you. As they made their way into her house, Sakura gaped at the enormity of it. The house was white from the snowy rugs, to the blinding white walls.
"Whoa" said Sakura. Hinata giggled at her friends gaping expression.
Someone walked up behind the pair, and coughed deliberately so they would turn around. Turning around quickly, Sakura instantly met a pair of silver eyes. She knew who it was, and tried to smile while saying, "Hi Neji." Neji merely grunted, seeing no reason to return her greeting.
"Hiashi wants you, Hinata." He said, glaring at his cousin. Hinata nodded timidly and sped off, while forgeting about Sakura. Neji then barely nodded to her as he disappeared with the words "Don't get lost." Great, she was all alone now in this huge maze of a house. How was she not supposed to get lost? Walking around for a little while, she groaned inwardly not able to find anything. She somehow managed to find her way to a small garden in the back. Taking a quick glance at it, she thought it was beautiful. Stepping into it, she realized there was a person sitting and meditating in the middle. She recognized him as the person she had just seen not to long ago, Hyuuga Neji. She looked at his back curiously for a moment and walked up infront of him.
"Hey again, Neji." He growled at her while saying, "What do you want woman?" Sakura frowned at him for a second and said, "Nothing. I just saw you sitting here and wondered what you were doing."
"What the fuck does it look like? Now please leave while I can still concentrate." This pissed her off, and she complained at him.
"Don't take that tone with me! I just was curious, god. What's eating you?" He gave her his famous death glare, and she felt like it could penetrate her soul. She retreated back into the house, a little frightened and mad at the same time. Who the hell does he think he is? He's such a.. such a.. such a bastard! [Though he is kinda cute though.] She stopped herself in her tracks. Where did that one come from? She just shook it off and met Hinata again in the next room.
"Hey Hinata, she said, What the hell is wrong with your cousin?"
"Oh, Neji-nii-san? He's always like that...because of his past." Sakura was a slight bit curious at this, and asked what had gone wrong with his past. Hinata looked grim, and this just made Sakura more curious. She knew about the Hyuuga clan, and about the Main and Branch families, of course, but what exactly troubled him?
"Aside from feeling like a servant because of the two families, Neji's father was killed when he was four. His father and my father we're twins, and my father was wanted for dead. Since the branch family is considered lower in status, the Hyuugas decided to let Neji-nii-san's father die instead of mine." Hinata trailed off in a sad tone. Sakura felt so bad for him at that moment, she didn't know it was like that. She was very upset and decided maybe to go and try and talk to him again. Walking outside, she slowly approached Neji. As soon as he sensed her he stood up and hissed at her, "What the fuck do you want!". He looked a little surprised as he gazed into her eyes, reading sorrow and sympathy in them. They both remained quiet until Sakura broke the silence.
"I'm sorry Neji." Neji was caught off guard, but regained his stoic composure and said "For what..?"
"For what's happened to you, I think it's terrible that your father had to die, and I'm truly sorry." Sakura rushed off back into the house as Neji stood in awe. Noone had ever said that to him about his father..noone..and then this girl comes up and says it with sadness in her eyes. Neji couldn't get the image of her face out of his mind. He sat back down trying to concentrate his thoughts to something else, but to no use. So he decided not to fight it and thought about her. The first girl he's ever thought about like that, in his life. Not like that meant anything to him though.

Sakura left Hinata's a little later, and since it was pretty late, she decided it was time to get some sleep. She walked back home through the forest, but unexpectedly met a certain silver eyed Jounin for the second time today. It was Neji. He was standing there, glaring at her. What she thought would have turned out to be a calming silence, turned out to be a blatant insult.
"Don't ever talk to me about that again, or I will kill you." Neji said, venom dripping from his words. She was shocked, but it quickly turned to anger.
"What the hell do you mean! I only said that I was sorry for you!" He interrupted, "Does it look like I need your pity!?"
"Well I'm sorry I ever said it then."
"You should be", he smirked. Sakura stammered off angrily, not wanting to see the face of that bastard Hyuuga ever again. Why am I getting so upset over this? I hate that ass, but somehow, it hurts me more that I hate him. She shrugged it off and ran home.
-
Neji laid in his bed, deeply regretting what he told her for some reason. He knows that he hates her, especially for thinking that he's weak. I don't need people taking pity on me, I'm a Hyuuga. Pity is for the losers and the weak people, like her. He closed his eyes, still feeling remorse for even what he just said now. Neji fell asleep with Sakura in his mind, and woke up –or so he thought he woke up- in a forest somewhere. There, about 20 meters from him, he saw Sakura. She was falling in mid-air. Falling down to the ground. He noticed in shock that there was a giant black hole replacing the ground at which she was going to fall on. He cried out "Sakura!" but it looked like she was passed out. He sprinted to her, and jumped up at her lifeless form. He pushed his way up and tried to reach for her. He couldn't move her. Something was stopping him from moving her, though he didnt know how or why. He landed on the other side of the hole and watched helplessly as she was sucked in to the colorless void. He cried out, but it was too late. He sat up in his bed, breathing heavily and sweating. He was confused at what just happened, and had a bad premonition. He laid back down, but could'nt get this tiny voice in the back of his head from saying "Go see if she's ok you dumbass!" Being as stubborn as he is, he didn't move. It irked at him and he finally gave in, knowing he couldn't sleep until he checked on her.
Walking up to the Haruno residence, he jumped into her window. Opening it up and walking in, he saw that she was asleep on her bed. He sighed out of relief, and was about to turn and leave before he noticed something.
Blood was trickling out of her mouth...
