Chapter 1
On 8 o'clock Sunday morning, has recently been two days since the death of his father. The boy has slept through the night sleeping peacefully with no attempt to cry or waking up having nightmares. He only sleep. Right now he just woke up at that time as he gets himself out of bed. Rubbing his sleepy eyes and attempted to yawn after. He left his room walking straight downstairs to make his way through the kitchen to make himself some breakfast.
He opened the refrigerator to grab a carton of milk. As he set it down on the table, he went to the pantry and took out a bag of bread, a peanut butter and grape jelly. Before he prepared them, he opened the drawer and pulled out a knife, after that he grabbed a glass.
He sat on the table and starts preparing his breakfast. He started opening the peanut butter the same he opened the grape jelly. He scooped up the jams and the peanut butter with the knife and placed the flavor on each bread. Once that's done, he combine to bread together to form a sandwich and eat it. Thanks to the peanut butter, the boy's mouth dry. He drank a glass of milk to add some liquid in his mouth and the thirst.

After eating his breakfast and washing dishes, he sat on a couch in a lazy position watching television. He kept clicking on the 'up' arrow channel to find anything interesting, but sadly there isn't. So he turned it and he simply stare at a blackout screen like it was an interesting image to look at. Now this shows lack of motivation for this boy. Due to the death of his father he wasn't himself. He stopped for himself and what's around him. Nor does he smile frequently. Well, it's too early to be over the loss of someone he loves. Thinking back after what he said to his father before he left, before the accident happened. He still feels the guilt inside him.
'I wish I could take it all back. At least rewind that time and change it. But it's too late, he's gone.'
He said those words through his conscience as he sighs with sadness. And let a tears feely fall down his cheeks. While his conscience is out of place, there was a knock on the door. The boy got up wiping off the tears the bottom of his palm hand on his cheeks and opened it. Only a slight crack to see to this unknown visitor is standing on his porch. The boy head is out and he catch a glimpse a man in a suit, holding a brief case on his left hand. The boy doesn't know who that man is, but to be polite he asked.
"Yes, what is it?"
The man smiled, showing his white perfect teeth and replied back, still keeping his smile on.
"Good morning, I am very sorry to disturb you, but is your name Neji Huuyga, correct?"
Neji nodded.
"Oh, well good because we have something very important to discuss about."
Neji cocked an eyebrow, "Really."
"Yes but it would be better if we discuss it inside your home."
"Well, I would let you in, but I don't know you, nor do I trust you. Who are you and what's your name?"
"My name is Ren Hikumaru. I am your fathers lawyer and I am here to talk to you due to you fathers will."
Neji's eyes shut out. A lawyer? Neji let Ren in and both sat in the living room. Ren on a chair, and Neji on a couch.
"So what is this will you speak of?"
Before Ren responded, he opened his brief case and pulled a paper. He set it on the table so Neji can read it and look over it.
"Before your father died, he attempted to make a decision to put you in a stable home immediately, without putting you in an orphanage. So after he died, Neji you already have a legal guardian ready to put you in his/her care."
"Who?"
"Why your uncle, Hiashi Hyuuga."
"Oh."
Neji gave no expression after hearing news that his uncle is now his guardian, it's not that Neji hated him it's just that their not close, nor do they even speak to each other, since his dad's older brother is the head branch of the Hyuuga family. His father, who is a hard worker, doesn't get to live in the luxury house, like his uncle and his two cousins: Hinata and Hanabi. Yeah, guess Neji does hated his uncle, but not his cousin, he loves them dearly like they were his sister and Neji was like a brother to them.
"Neji, why are you so down? Don't you love your uncle?"
"Oh no, I am very happy, yes, but…"
"But?"
"Oh nothing it's fine, so when do I start living with my uncle? What day, exactly?"
"Tomorrow, I'll pick you up at 7. Is that fine?"
"It's fine. Well I'll start packing, but wait what about the house and the money?"
"The house will be sold, but the money is now left under your name in the bank account, for your future."
"Oh ok then, that's fine. Well then thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate it."
Neji shook his hand, greeting him with a smile plastered on his face.
"My pleasure, you father is a good man, full of hope and kindness in his heart. You are very lucky to have him."
The lawyer shook back, greeting Neji with a smile plastered on his face as well.
"Yeah, I'm glad he's my dad. I am very proud to be his son."
Neji replied back, only this time his smile fades. Showing sadness and guilt.
As the lawyer left he turned and said: "I am very sorry that you have to go through with that. At such a young age you have lost the only family you had. To that I am truly sorry. I'll see tomorrow then."
He bowed down out of respect and left.
***GN***
It was 7:00 p.m. Neji finished cleaning the entire house since the house would be sold and Neji, being the nice guy, cleaned the house to make it look nice for any newcomers that is buying the house. All that is left for Neji is getting his things packed in his room. Neji suitcase is on his bed where he put all his clothes in there and the boxes stacked against the wall for his stuff. Like books, movies, CD's, etc. Once all that is prepared Neji starts packing.
'Ok, let's do this.'
It was 9:54 p.m. and Neji was exhausted. The closet that is filled with clothes is now empty, only remains in the closet are hangers. His is stuff is now in boxes, all taped up and ready to go. The only thing that is left out is his clothes lying on his chair for him to wear tomorrow. His IPOD touch to keep him from getting bored and the picture frame of him and his father. Since it is now 10:15 p.m. Neji got up and crawled in his bed, curling up in a ball like an adorable little kitten and fell in a deep slumber.
