Neji never believed in the existence of Heaven and Hell. Didn't feel that angels flying on pure ivory wings would save him from evil. All that he believed mostly in fate, perhaps which only lived in his soul because he needed something, anything, to hold accountable in the end. He fought, slept, ate, and dreamed, all revolving around the sole fact that fate always decided everything for him.
He held these beliefs close while he demolished each barrier the small girl in front of him possessed. Cobalt hair falling in front of pearl eyes, which mirrored his own, flinching with each venomous word. He pondered casually the fact that she looked oddly like what people portrayed angels as.
Soft timbre floated threateningly towards him, throwing each and every attack back at him. Blood boiled beneath his flesh, all common sense tossed aside, only to destroy the creature whom saw through every false word and action.
Crimson dripped deceptively slow to the stone floor, as he watched a feeling crept, with a deliberate persistence that he had sinned. Weeks stretched into months and still he felt he must… atone for the crimes he had committed.
Soon Heaven and Hell raged wars upon his soul, nothing allowed solace from memories of garnet covered alabaster. Despair attacked with unnerving frequency, gnawing steadily at his conscience. He came to expect the face in the mirror to be warped, gnarled horns to set atop his head, his crown of thorns.
Now he watched her, wanted to understand the change that she caused. Merely scientific, he assured himself, to find the problem and solve it. However she had another motive, always greeting him with a gentle smile and rose stained cheeks. His façade crumbled with her delicate analysis of each word or lack there of.
After almost a year of whispered conversations, he admits he will never be able to atone for what he did to her. She laughed before softly pressing her lips to his, pouring her light into him, she tasted like clouds and redemption.
