"Legend of Yuki"
(A/N): Finally, here it is… the replacement for that very -coughs- crappy
-coughs- fanfic: "The Blossoming of May Hyuuga." The plot is entirely different and although this is not one of my best works, it definitely takes me more time to write this (since it is MY story) than to write any other story. I hope you all enjoy this more than my first horrible attempt to write a MeXNeji… And if any of you Neji fans get offended by my story, no worries… just put yourself in the OC's place then .
Genre: Romance/ Angst/ Drama
Rating: T… because I usually write those .

…Enjoy…
Chapter 1
"Gray eyes"
Howls in the midst of a dark night,
Its obscurity swimming around the pale moon…
Sounds of sadness and hope,
Ringing through the ears of mortal inhabitants…
Brown, warm eyes,
Scanning the white blanket called home…
These words and many more were written by the Hidden Snow's civilians, the poetry done by their hands handed down to their children, and in some peculiar way, I was able to see them myself with my own eyes.
They truly respected her, knew her to be more than just a beast of nature. Her actions, her voice, and her eyes, contradicted the fact that she was a demon.
But unlike most demons, which were considered frightful and forces to be reckoned with, she had a heart, one that was able to feel happiness, sadness, and pain.
She also knew how to dream…
She knew how to wish that someday, her form would finally take the shape of a human.
Her delicate hands closed the book gently, making sure that a finger was placed in between the pages she had stopped.
"Wasn't that nice, Neji-nii-san?"
Her respond was a calm look, one she was very used to.
She, in return smiled,
"I really want to know who that demon was, she sounds very nice." Her soft voice swam through the white room, the stutters which would distract her back through the years no longer bothering her nor the ears that heard her.
He kept his silence, his plain gaze directed towards the descending sun, leaves dancing around each other within the distance.
Autumn drew near.
She returned the brown, antique book back to where it belonged.
"I'll see you later, Neji-nii-san."
She left the room respectfully, closing the door behind her.
His gaze stiffened for a moment, his white eyes reflecting hidden annoyance.
She was a demon and she was accepted by her own village.
Then why he… who was perfectly human, why was he treated like he knew nothing, even though the fact that he was the genius of his noble clan stayed?
A small breath escaped his lips, his fingers lightly touching the one thing that prevented him from being entirely free.
Throughout the years, he was able to bend a few bars…
Nevertheless, he remained a branch family member.
A caged bird.
"Have a seat, both of you…"
Both girls bowed in respect then obeyed the middle aged man before them.
"Otou-sama? What is it you have called me for?"
A soft voice asked, her lavender eyes calm and unwavering.
He turned to the other girl, her gray eyes framed by thin glass lenses fixed onto the polished floor underneath her sitting form.
"Hinata, we have a new family member. Details are to be announced when necessary, for now… take her to the guest room on Neji's floor."
She wanted to ask, wanted to know what this was all about, but she declined the offer in her mind. It was best to not question her father. The clan leader.
"Hai, Otou-sama."
He nodded and waited for both girls to exit, keeping a firm eye onto the one who had not spoken since he had picked her up from the Hokage building.
He knew it.
He could see it.
She was scared.
She looked around curiously, the small yet significant room, appealing to her tastes.
"Ano, may I know what your name is?"
She looked at the blue haired girl by the door and smiled.
"Sorry, I forgot that I was not home anymore." She paused for a few moments, pondering on a small detail.
"May."
Hinata smiled brightly and nodded, "Hyuuga May."
"Hyuuga? I've never heard of that name…"
The confused look on the raven haired girl caused a similar confusion to express itself on the heiress's face.
"But, my father… he said that you were a new family member."
She nodded in agreement, "Yes, I have been told that I have a family here in this village, but… I was never told the name. So… am I a Hyuuga now?"
Her lavender eyes tried to avoid eye contact; she really had no idea with what was going on.
"Hai, if Otou-sama said that you were a new member… then yes. Demo, what was your clan name before you came here?"
She tilted her head, the simple spectacles moving slightly from its perch, "I… never had one… Just May."
At first, she did not know what to say, things were happening fast and she wanted an explanation. But she would not choose to speak to Neji about this just yet.
Her older cousin would be very agitated to know that a new member of the family had just arrived and was accepted (from what the heiress saw in her father)… even though they knew nothing of the gray eyed girl.
She nodded, smiled, then informed the newcomer to stay in her room until she was called upon.
"I hope you like your stay here, my name is Hinata."
She then left with a kind smile.
As she made her way to her younger sister's room, thinking it would be best to talk to someone about the matter currently at hand, something struck her.
Hyuuga members had perfect eyesight.
They also had pearly white eyes.
Eyes without pupils.
Most of the eyes in her clan reflected ignorance and pride.
May wore glasses…
She too had no pupils in her eyes but they were… gray.
Eyes that reflected confusion, and if the Hyuuga heiress's eyesight was not fooling her, innocence.
"Hanabi-chan? May I talk to you?"
May: If you are to review, please say the truth. Flames will be accepted but still… they are not nice. What I would appreciate is 'constructive criticism'. Thank you for reading and I hope it's okay for a first chapter…
I'm not perfect, remember that.
The plot, (or whatever you've seen from it for now .) came out from my own twisted mind. If I have in anyway, copied someone else's idea, I do apologize, it was not intentional.
Demo- but…
Hope to see you all very soon in the next chapter…
