means a flashback.
This is number one in the trilogy, though it
does have a sort of companion shot later on.
..::2. Hope is a waking dream.::..
A weak smile meandered its way onto his bloodied lips, and soon an orange bird feather tickled his bandages palm. Orange… 'Cause unlike me, you're not a failure. No. He was not gonna die here. Not here, now, or any time soon.
Hey, Neji. You can beat 'em, Neji. You were awesome, Neji. Let's take a break, Neji. You did good today, Neji. Why her? He wondered, picturing her dazzling smile. She wasn't anything special, ne? Wrong. She was everything to him. His light in the dark, his will of fire. He wanted to be there for her to make up for his… assiness… the past year or so.
No. I won't die yet. Too many people count on me. He had said that. Wrong gain… well, a bit wrong. Too many people did count on him… and she was one of them. I know you've got my back since I have yours. So confident… Neji knew he was nejied(1)… he was heart and soul for her. He hated(and probably feared) rejection. So he was staying away from getting close to her, confessions – anything of that sort. Besides, it was still too early… they were so young… Neji lost consciousness thinking about her and knew he wouldn't die yet. Fate had more in store for him, he knew it.
A/N: So… the first in the trilogy. Basically, it's gonna have Neji's view(this one), then TenTen's(4, I think…), and finally… I dunno. Still writing that one(#6). XD This one was a bit short, ne? Well, FF makes everything shorter than it is by stretching it out. Like the last one… it was one for about 5 or 6-ish pages. So short… DX Bleh.(1) I don't know 100% sure that that means 'screwed' but I'll go out on a limb for it. Neji means 'screw', and add an ed… screwed. I hate to do that, gomen neesai. It's too funny not to put… just like Sai sighed.~ Tobi
