Next is one of my alltime favourite pairings – I hope I can do them justice!
Neji/Hinata
Chips in Black – Chipz
---------------------------
On her first ANBU mission, Hinata felt weird. Only when she returned home, beaten and tired, with bruises on her arms and legs, she realised why. She released a hysterical laugh as she watched her mirror image come closer, still nothing but a black blob. "I´m a Woman in Black!" she cried out, laughing helplessly.
Neji recognised the hysterics. He had thought almost the same when he had made ANBU.
Home Again – Blackmores Night
---------------------------------------
The
Konoha gates stood high above him, almost menacing as he looked up.
But they welcomed him, he knew. Neji trudged through the streets, he
didn´t feel like rushing, he was back and that was enough. True to
that he took longer than ever to get back to the Hyuuga complex. But
as soon as he saw a small figure standing at the doors of the old
house, he quickened his step, the little person began running towards
him, too.
Neji caught his daughter in his arms and hugged her. "I´m home", he whispered and closed his eyes. "You´ll always come home, dad.", his little girl answered and Hinata smiled as she stepped out of the door.
Kelsey – Metro Station
---------------------------
If
Hinata was scared, she would still stutter, but it had gotten much
better over the years. Especially after she had given up her useless
crush she had had on Naruto, she had found more confidence. Neji was
proud to see that. He would do anything for her and didn´t want her
to be unhappy. But he couldn´t understand why she would stutter
around him. She always did. She couldn´t be scared of him, could
she? Neji was her protector. Always would he be that. But she
wouldn´t see how much he loved her, she would stutter and try to
avoid him as much as it was possible.
We ride – Mary J. Blige
----------------------------
When
Neji took her hand and pulled her out of the place where the party
was held, Hinata felt her heart silently burst with happiness.
Together they sneaked out of the village, ran at the highest speed
they could manage, then somewhere near a river stopped breathless and
laughing. A few years ago she would have never thought this was
possible. And now she grasped every chance she got to be with him, to
show him she loved him. The stars shone down onto the pair as she sat
in his lap and kissed him softly. Neji thought he should do this more
often and smiled into the kiss
Love me for me – Ashlee Simpson
-----------------------------------------
Always there – always! She was furious. Neji was following her everywhere, not even thinking about personal space. Oh he was good at it, she hadn´t noticed him at first. But now she sensed his presence almost all the time and it was driving her crazy. Did he have to take his duty as her protector this damn serious? She wanted to be alone some time too!
If it wasn´t for that damn job as her protector… To him she was "Hinata-Sama", just another duty he had to fulfill. Why couldn´t he just be a man like every other? Why couldn´t he come out, sweep her off her feet and tell her he loved her before he kissed her?
… And why had she just thought that? And how the hell did he read her mind…?
Hero´s Return - Hammerfall
--------------------------------
The battle was raging on, everywhere there were lying dead and dying shinobi. Hinata felt hopelessness welling up inside her. She was badly wounded, but still fighting. Kabutos Sound Nin were still coming, on and on. There was no end in sight. She didn´t remember where she was, she didn´t know where her friends where. If they were still alive. She didn´t know anything. She coughed, pressed her hand to her side to stop the blood from falling and looked around. Her last opponent was dead, but others were already aiming at her.
This was it? She would die here? She didn´t want to…
Suddenly, the dark clouds ripped open, the light illuminating a lone figure standing on the hills. Hinata didn´t need to activate her Byakugan, her heart knew who it was.
Neji and the Suna forces. They were saved. She collapsed.
When you were young – The Killers
------------------------------------------
After
Konoha had been rebuild, Naruto had taken Hinata to Ichirakus and (in
his opinion) gently told her he only liked her like a sister. Hinata
had swallowed her tears and only let them run free as she reached her
home. Her whole world had turned upside down with that small
conversation. She wanted someone to come and comfort her in her
distress, someone that made wonders happen.
When Neji heard what had commenced at Ichirakus, he hurried to Hinatas room and found her sitting under her window, hands clasped and mouth silently forming words, praying. He stepped in and hugged her, saying all these sweet nothings, all the soothing words she needed now and some more. And they did soothe her, and she hugged him back and it reminded her of how Neji had comforted her when she hurt her knee all that time ago.
My Land – Sonata Arctica
-------------------------------
In his dreams, everything was alright. He had never been exiled, never had left his house. There was a small girl in his dreams, and she understood him. They had fun together, and they ran over the hills and climbed the mountains of his dream-Konoha. In one dream they explored the Hyuuga compound, and noone was there except for them.
These dreams strengthened his resolve. He would not let anyone take his home away from him, he would fight for his rights. He hadn´t even done anything wrong – they had just decided he was too much of a threat to their reign.
So when he stood before the Konoha gates and demanded entry to prove his worth to the Hyuuga Elders who had sent him away, he realised who that little girl in his dreams had been. She opened the doors for him, older now, but unmistakenly the same, and aided him in the fight. And together, they won.
Ocean Avenue – Yellowcard
----------------------------------
Neji suddenly thought he had seen Hinata. He whipped his head around and looked after the woman with the long black hair. But it wasn´t her, of course not. Stupid, that´s what he was. She was still on his mind, even though he had left her all those years ago. She hadn´t wanted him to go, wanted him to stay at least another night. But he had told her with a hard voice void of emotion that he needed to go. It wasn´t right, he told her. Now he regretted that decision a lot. If he could find her now, he would take her with him and give no damn about the Elders.
Waves – DJ Satomi
----------------------
The beach was peaceful, no more children running around or mothers who ran after their children. Hinata sighed and sat under a palmtree, watching the sea. It was getting dark, so it was no wonder the most people where gone already. But Hinata stayed, she didn´t feel like getting up or doing anything else. Maybe she should later go for a swim? Swimming at night… that thought made her giggle. She noticed the moon had already risen, and it was reflecting on the waves. Someone sat down next to her, and when she turned her head, she looked into Nejis eyes. After seeing the love in her soul, he carefully leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss.
