A/N: Welcome to another one shot in the Raising Himawari story. These one shots only have one thing in common. Neji and Himawari's adventures together as father and daughter.
I hope you all are enjoying!
-Ever
I am too old for this shit.
Neji thought quietly as he ran a hand through his daughter's hair. Her sweet ivory cheeks stained with shed tears as she had been up half the night crying, Neji was positively murderous when it came to Himawari.
He'd nearly strangled Inojin when he finally caught up to the boy but sadly Sai had stepped in. He could understand his social skills leaving a bit more to be desired but to dump his precious baby girl in a god damn email, Well that left a sour taste in Neji's mouth.
At least Naruto had the god given good sense to just vanish quietly.
He muttered to no one in particular scared that he would wake Himawari and she could begin to cry all over again.
TenTen and Hanabi were better suited for this shit than he was. He was her dad in all ways but blood and he still didn't know how to handle her first heartbreak. Maybe Hiashi was right, Maybe he should have followed tradition and only allowed her to marry or court within their distant family.
He'd throttle the next boy who dared laid eyes on his little hime, He'd never seen someone cry this much expecially not a Hyuga. Yes Hinata had gone catatonic when Naruto left but not even she cried this much.
A simple bout of puppy love on both ends, sadly Himawari had mistaken the hero worship/puppy love a little too far just as her mother had done in school. This was yet another prime example of why Neji prefered to stick with what he knew.
Whenever he felt the need for company TenTen was always on hand, If it had not been for her Neji would have been completely lost during Himawari's early teenage years. It was a stressful time for all involved.
At one point he almost considered buying hair dye to get rid of the grey streak she caused during her 13 year old get pissy at nothing stage.
Now it goes without saying that Neji was the neighborhoods most protective parent. Which made little Himawari a rebelious little hellraiser in the process, Many Many times he'd thought about ringing her neck.
She had been growing her hair out for awhile but in an act of pure teenage angst she'd chopped it all off into a princess cut sort of like the one her mother wore years and years ago. Neji let that one slide, Then she decided she was going to hang out with an older crowed that got her into a messed up situation.
Had it not been for Lee, Neji was sure Himawari would have an arrest record longer than his cable bill.
He surived 13-15 by the skin of his nose, It was as if she was possessed by some satanic being hell bent on making Neji completely insane. As he strokes her hair he is still wondering how they made it this far.
Paitence and Liquor...lots and lots of Liquor.
Maybe his luck as a parent was starting to turn around, He wouldn't have a strange unemotional punk as a son in law now. This was a learning experience for Himawari as well. Her questionable taste in guys should clear up after this, At least that was what he was hoping until he heard a knock downstairs.
He slowly removed a sleeping Himawari from his lap and quietly slipped out of her room to answer the door.
If it was the Yamanaka boy he'd give him something to run home and tell Ino and Sai about, The Hyuga were well skilled in the martial arts, he was a black belt himself.
"You've got some nerve bra-!" He started to say as he pulled the door open but was cut short by the green eyed male at the door.
You have got to be KIDDING me! He thought to himself his left eye twitching slightly, It was a twitch that developed shortly after Himawari's sixteenth birthday.
"Nope!" He slammed the door just as quickly as he had opened it moments before.
Storming back up the stairs he threw his daughter's door open, This had gotten out of hand and Neji needed to address it before it got worse.
"Of all people, Of all boys who could have been your rebound you had to just pick SHIKADAI NARA?"
It was at that very moment that Neji had finally come to the conclusion, Himawari was really trying to send him to an early grave.
Hina...Help me.
End.
