Betrayal of a Loved One
Release
Neji… The sound of footsteps were heard in the darkness.
Neji…
"Where are you!?" He yelled exasperated in the dark. No answer came. "Can you hear me!" Still, nothing. An image of Tenten covered in blood on the forest floor flashed in his mind. Her eyes open, but lifeless and pale. "Tenten!!"
Neji darted up from his bed gasping for release from the nightmare. Everything around him was pitch black and the ticking of the clock's second hand resonated in his room. He took in air through his nose, his body trembling, and streams of sweat running down his neck.
"Ugh!" His head bent down lowly near his risen knee. He closed his eyes tightly trying to make the aching pain he felt within his chest, disappear. A deep breath was released from inside of him as the pain grew weaker, but not gone. His eyes looked up at the clock on the wall.
"Three-fourteen in the morning." Neji whispered to himself quietly. His hand formed into a fist as he threw the blanket off his body. In a few minutes he was dressed in his training clothes, a semi-loose fitting white shirt with black ninja pants and sandals.
The sun still wasn't out and Neji was training in the grounds a little separated from the rest of Konoha. It was pitch black only the stars shining in the indigo sky.
"Just like that night." Neji thought. His palm hit against the wooden stump with great force denting it in. "How?!" Two more blows with two more dents to the wood. "I was so blind!" Sixteen hits in total within a second. His eyebrows came together and his eyes became fierce. "It was all my fault!" One hundred and twenty-eight strikes and the wood cracked, little pieces flying out. "And now!" Another couple of blows and the wood was almost about to break. "You're dead!" One palm full of chakra visible to anyone was thrust at the stump finally causing it to break. Wood chips were flying everywhere.
Neji choked down a sob and dropped to his knees. He looked down at his hands as tears fell from his eyes landing on his pale skin. He couldn't take the immense pain he was feeling. It came to him every night after that mission. He hadn't had a full night's sleep and now he was letting it all out in loud sobs. Nothing he did could make him forget the guilt he carried with him.
"T-Tenten! I…I'm so…sorry." He said in-between his sobs.
No one would have believed that he had been sobbing so violently for anything or anyone. Everyone in the village thought he was incapable of showing such emotion. They were mistaken.
