It's been a century... I know and I'm sorry; but I'm back. To be honest; I thought I'd posted this already, guess not. The next chapter is almost finished and should be up soon. Don't take my word for it though...
Neji silently closed the door to his bedroom and lied down on his bed; nervously chewing his lower lip as he stared up at the ceiling. This Kidomaru guy was smart. ... Too smart; he could end up finding out, and what could Neji do to stop him from running his mouth to anyone who would listen? Nothing. Neji sat up in frustration before standing and leaving his room; only to bump into Hiashi. The pale Hyuga jumped back
"Lord Hiashi! I'm sorry; I... I wasn't paying attention,"
He apologized; looking to the floor. Hiashi raised an eyebrow
"Why are you in such a hurry Neji; you just got back?"
He asked. Neji chewed his lower lip nervously; should he tell the truth, or avoid the truth and try to fix this before it was really a problem?
"I just remembered that I forgot to do something,"
It wasn't really a lie. Hiashi nodded
"Alright; don't take too long,"
He ordered. Neji nodded before rushing passed him and out the door, he slowed down once was a ways away from the compound and fiddled his fingers; he didn't know where to look.
"Neji!"
Tenten's voice called to him. He looked up at her
"Yes?"
He mumbled. Tenten smiled as she stopped in front of him
"Are you alright, we got worried when you didn't come back,"
She worried. Neji nodded
"I'm fine. ... Have you seen Kidomaru?"
He asked. Tenten shook her head
"I thought he was with you,"
She explained. Neji scoffed quietly before smiling
"Well... Thanks anyway,"
He mumbled before heading passed her. After about an hour of searching, Neji found himself heading towards the hot springs, he hummed contently at the thought of bathing and headed inside. Neji undressed silently before heading into the bathing area and sliding into the water. He let out a content sigh as he relaxed in the warm water
"Tenten said you were looking for me,"
Neji jerked at the sound of Kidomaru's voice and looked around frantically before looking up at the older shinobi.
"Do you always sneak up on people when they're bathing?"
He snapped. Kidomaru just chuckled as he jumped down from the tree that hung over the hot spring.
"What do you want?"
He asked. Neji turned away and sunk deeper into the water; stopping with his nose just above the water. Kidomaru cocked an eyebrow
"If you're worried about me telling anybody, then you can stop worrying. You abuse problem is none of my business,"
He assured. Neji sat up and looked at Kidomaru; torn between being happy that he wasn't going to say anything and feeling really let down that he'd never intended to. He averted his gaze and nodded
"Good..."
He mumbled softly. Kidomaru cocked an eyebrow
"You don't sound too thrilled with that,"
He drawled. Neji frowned and scoffed
"If you tell anyone-"
"Chill, Hyuga; I already promised not to say anything,"
Kidomaru defended; raising his hands in reassurance. Neji narrowed his eyes before turning away from the spider Nin and bringing his knees up to his chest again. Kidomaru dropped his hands and sighed slightly before rubbing the back of his head. Neji chewed his lower lip before glancing over his shoulder at Kidomaru
"W-Wanna join me?"
He forced out. Kidomaru chuckled and looked up at the trees
"Uuh... Why the hell not?"
He shrugged. Neji blushed but allowed a small smile to slip as he watched Kidomaru walk off to undress. He'd agreed to stay quiet, so Neji would never even have to mention to Hiashi that someone knew.
Was that good? It was really short, my writing style has changed a little since I last updated this, I'm more of a long chapter kinda guy now.
