When I Look Into Your Eyes: A NejiXHinata Fanfic
By AlucardVoorhees44
Have you ever wanted to be with someone so much that when you know you can never be with them that you try to end it by any means. Neji knew that oh to well, his thinking was that if he boasted about his hate for the main branch he would get killed for it. Or when I he tried to kill Hinata during the Chunin Exams, he couldn't even finish her to end it all.
Even dieing he couldn't do right, his failed attempt at killing the girl he loved had gotten the man she loved vowing to beat him in combat. The fight itself went on to the point where Neji had to let himself lose trying to get Naruto to kill him, even on the ground he was taunting the Fox-Boy.
It didn't work.
For a while after that Neji just trained and trained hoping that he would be sent on a mission that would end him. When he wasn't training he was helping Lee get back on to his feet again. (Lady Tsunade after being placed as Hokage said Lee just needed time and medicine). During this time he talked to Lee, being on opposite ends of a spectrum they had an odd respect for each other.
Lee had herd Neji gripe about the village's laws about abnormal relationships, both incestual and homosexual, Neji told how when he would have his Byakugan on and look over parts of the village and he saw people when they were alone.
Neji and Lee where in the training field watching Hinata, Shino and Kiba (with Akamaru). Sakura and Ino were in a corner practicing medical ninjutus. Neji had a bottle of wine and was talking to Lee who sat there shocked from what he was saying, "Byakugan gives me the idea to watch people and see how they act, take Shino over their he had bugs that can counter act every type of ninjutus and taijutus. He'd working with Ino to help do that."
"Really? Why?" Lee said drinking his medicine.
"It's an Anbu Black Ops thing organized by Shino's Clan with the Anbu incase any one clan turns on the village. I don't know why Ino is working with them, maybe she wants bugs to take care of her family's flower shop or something." Neji took a large drink. "In fact Ino is in a relationship she can't tell anyone about."
"Why?" Lee just looked up at Neji who was laying on the side of a wall, leaning on a pillar in it.
"She's together with Sakura, it's something the village would turn those bugs she's working on agents her. Thou I wouldn't blame the Hokage on that. She's in a relationship with her assistant, what's her name? Shizune? So give it time maybe she would over turn that law…. Oh sorry I forgot you had a thing for pink hair."
"It's ok…are they happy together?"
"Ino and Sakura? Yeah there talking about sneaking off to the sand to get married. There holding off because Sakura is waiting for Lady Hokage to over turn the law," Neji took another long drink, several gulps worth.
"Why are you upset about this? Is there a man you love?" Neji looked down at Lee who was wondering about his partner.
"No, mine's worse. Much worse. At lest Ino and Sakura have a small group they can be open to, I cant even have that. I'm not going to tell you any more about it. Is their any body you want to know more about?"
"What about Kiba? Is their anything wrong with him?" Lee asked looking at Kiba do his 'fang over fang' move at waves of Shino's bugs.
"Him? Out of everybody I looked over he was the most normal, he trying to a nice guy but he's kind of an ass. Thou he kinda likes the girl from the Ramen Shop, she in turn kinda likes him but neither have told the other."
"What about Sasuke and Naruto?"
"Uchiha…he never got over his brother killing the clan and everything. I don't he cares about anything but killing him. Fox-Boy, I fucking hate the dammed Fox-Boy. He needs to get tied up and thrown into a pit never to return. You know if he dies the Nine-Tailed Fox would die as well? He just wants to fuck with Hinata! You think he was to stupid to notice her? No he just enjoys it!" Neji finished the bottle and smashed the bottle in his hand. "I need to fucking kill him!"
The people on the training field looked in Neji's direction. Sakura and Ino looked at each other as if there were caught in each other's arms. Shino gave the same look he gave everything. Kiba looked at Hinata then back at Neji, the look he gave off was one that seemed as if he wanted to know more.
"I got to go, you ok getting back on your own lee?" Neji asked with his back to the rest of the field.
"Of course I can Neji! You do what you have to do!"
"Thank you Lee," Neji headed back the Hyuga household. He tried to make it so he didn't appear to have drunk a wine bottle. Hard to do but this wasn't the first time Neji had done it. When he got inside the Hyuga household he was heading to his room, he thought about how much he just wanted to strip and lay in bed, how much he wanted sleep to take him.
When he got to his room he just slipped into it, the darkness of the room was welcoming to his presence. He closed the door quietly and did what he wanted, stripped and curled under the covers. Sleep soon took him.
