Switched
Chapter Three
Four days later, Hinata was let out of the hospital. However, she spent most of her time in bed. Neji was the one instructed to tend to her pains.
Although her fight with Neji was now a blur, she was troubled by something she thought she heard him say. She was sure that, just before she passed out, that he had called her…princess. (Hinata-HimePrincess Hinata) She wanted to ask him, but was afraid of angering him again.
--Seven Days Left—
Hinata dreaded the day Neji was to be executed. She was able to walk again, and didn't spend as much time in bed.
Neji, no longer tending to her wounds, helped with household chores. No one spoke to him but to tell him what to do. No one made eye contact. They were all ashamed of him.
--Five Days Left—
On her way to bed from the bathroom, she passed Neji's room. She could here him crying. Wondering if he was hurt, she knocked on the door.
"Go away!" He yelled. Something hit the door on the other side. It sounded like glass.
"Neji-Sama…It's me." Hinata said quietly.
The door opened just enough for him see out.
"What the Hell do you want?" He asked harshly. She could see his red puffy eyes.
She flinched. "I…I…" Before she could stop herself, she burst into tears.
Neji's eyes widened. If anyone saw that he had made Hinata cry, that would kill him tomorrow!
"Get in here!" He whispered loudly, grabbing her wrist and yanking her in. In his haste, he pulled to hard, and they both stumbled back. Neji lost his balance and fell backwards, bringing Hinata with him.
Hinata landed on top of him.
They lay there like that for a minute, not daring to breath.
Footsteps were heard in the hallway. There was knock on the closed door. Hinata's father asked, "Neji! Do you know where Hinata is?" He asked.
"N-no! I haven't seen her!" He called over Hinata's shoulder, not taking his eyes off of hers.
Silence.
"Very well. Come and get me if you do see her." Hinata's father said.
"Sure thing," He whispered, knowing that the man couldn't hear him.
Hinata looked at Neji closely. She had never noticed how long his eyelashes were…or how his cheeks tinged such a cute pink…
Neji stared at Hinata, she seemed a bit scared…but also content. She had a soft smile on her face as she looked down on him. His heart started to beat faster.
"Hinata-Hime…" He whispered, bringing his face closer to hers. His eyes were half-lidded.
"Neji-Sama…" She whispered.
Their lips met.
