Author's Note: Another random idea popped in my head, so here I go again! This is my second NejiSaku fic (I decided to take a small break from KabuSaku for now).
For those that don't know Japanese, "tsubasa" means "wings."
Tsubasa
I've watched you, poor fallen angel. Poor beautiful angel. I've watched you try to fly, but always fall. Sadly it's hard to fly when you don't have wings.
No...you did have wings before, and you practiced flying before. However, when you got with sight of the place you call heaven, you were pulled down and your wings broken.
All because of him and the pieces you call your heart.
Ah, to have your way to heaven crushed by a boy's selfish desires, leaving you to rest on a bed of the ripped feathers over the cold stone. It must be painful. Sadly I don't know this pain; I can only imagine how it must feel.
I never had a loved one. At least, until I saw you try and fly without wings. Somehow...that had entranced me. For some reason or another, that was a beautiful sight to see, despite the painful suffering. Maybe I'm sadistic and like to see people suffer, but watching you try didn't seem like it. More like determination...yes, that was it. You were determined to get back to heaven.
That determination in your eyes, the scars on your back...maybe that was what attracted me.
I watched as you fell and fell again, your eyes glazed over with tears for a moment before you tilted your head back up, those tears gone and your orbs full of that determination again. As you continued to try, I continued to watch.
Until I became tired of watching.
I'm tired of just watching you. Something has compelled me to want more. I take a few steps forward; you pay no notice as you continued to try and fly. A few more steps, still unnoticed. More...just a few more...one more step...
It was when you collapsed did you notice me beside you. Your orbs sparkled with light curiosity, and I say no words as I stretched out my hand.
I never had a loved one, but as you took my hand cautiously, I knew then that I found one in you, and it was my duty to help you with everything I could.
You look up at me and I smirk ever slightly, bending down enough to level with your ear.
"Don't worry, my angel...I'll be your wings."
The reason I chose Neji was because he is often referred to be a "caged bird." And when he offers to be Sakura's wings, it's like he was free from his cage to be the wings of someone else.
Yeah...that's the best explanation I can give for this. Hope you liked it!
