The second time he met Kagome Higurashi he saw her sitting beside the loud-mouthed boy Naruto, she had a small smile on her face as she listened to Naruto's rambling, all the while delicately holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand.

Neji pushed down the feeling of annoyance down and sat down with his teammates, yet he often found his gaze drawn to the small form of a certain woman. He took notice of all the small things.

The way her black hair reflected an almost bluish tone when the light hit it just right. The way her blue eyes brightened at the sight of food, making her eyes stand out even more. The way she smiled as she listened closely to Naruto or the way her colourful kimono slid up slightly when she crossed her legs.

Neji was so focused on the details that when his eyes returned to his face he as shocked to see her staring back at him with curious eyes and a pretty smile.

He turned his attention back to his food. Ignoring Tenten's curious look and the way his heartbeat had speed up at the sight of her smile.

And so, the seed of longing had been planted.
