Expect The Unexpected: The Pauper and The Heiress
Chapter 4: Payback/ The kiss
"I don't believe this is happening to me." Neji said under his breath as Sasuke and Naruto walked a head of him. He was at his weak end, the girl he was starting to fall for; crush was right in front of him heading to the same place as he was. He thought to himself repeatedly, thinking and wondering what it was that he did wrong to make him deserve this kind of punishment.
"Hey Sasuke, how did you know that hinata likes me?" Naruto asked curiously
"Sakura told me. She heard it from Hinata and then told me." Sasuke said plainly
"Oh, wow, I can't wait to see her." Naruto said excitedly "She is going to be so surprised to see me."
"Yeah, She sure will." Sasuke said agreeing.
Neji was at the end of his rope, he could feel his blood rising as he looked with murderous eyes at the two shinobi in front of him. He wanted nothing more then to kill Sasuke and kidnapped Naruto. He wanted to get rid of them before they reached the hot springs.
'Kill him' Neji said in his mind 'kill him, kill him slow... and painfully and hid the body. And kidnap that baka with him. They both need to go. What the hell, kill them both, you could do it, their both jounins, your part of the ANBU squad. You could take them down like that.' His mind was made up he was going to kill them both...all he needed was some rope and he would be in bussiness.
'Forget the rope just take them down.' His mind ordered. Neji didn't even think twice. He prepared himself for the attack, just as he was ready, he heard a ringing comingfrom his pocket. He pulled the phone out of his pocket and the ring became louder. So much so that Sasuke and Naruto stopped in they tracks, as if to hear who was on the phone. Neji then flipped the phone open and place the receiver to his ear. Completely pissed that his plans were ruin he was ready to let all his anger out on the poor person on the other line.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?" Neji demanded on the phone.
"Neji, is that you?" a sweet and angelic voice asked on the other line.
Neji's face then soften dramatically and he then spoke softly but also with a little shock.
"Hinata-sama" Neji said a little taken back.
Sasuke had ready hear the person name and it seem that Naruto didn't. Whatever the case maybe, they heard him on the phone and back themselves up (anime-style) so they could hear what was going on. Neji saw them backing up and he knew if they heard his conversation then they would just use it to their own twisted advantage. So he did the only thing he could think of at the time.
He took off running.
Sasuke and Naruto both looked at him as he ran away form them, and then they looked at each other and started to run after him.
"Neji, are you still there?" Hinata asked couriosly on the other line.
"Yes... Hinata-sama... I'm still here... What's up?" Neji asked winded. As he made a mad dash to the hot springs.
"Are you ok? You sound winded." Hinata asked couriosly
"Sure, never better, I'm on my way to you right now." He said as ran though the town trying to lose Sasuke and Naruto who were following not to far behind.
"Neji, what are you doing? Why are you running away form us?" Naruto said as he and Sasuke kept in hot pursuit of the rouge Ninja.
"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS, NOW GO AWAY!" Neji yelled back to Naruto.
"Excuse me?" Hinata asked a bit annoyed
"No, not you Hinata-sama. I'm on my way to you right now, I should be there shortly." He said smoothly
"That's the reason why I'm calling. I'm not at the hot springs anymore." She said softly
"YOUR WHAT!" Neji yelled though the phone.
"What! What happened! What happened?" Naruto asked as he kept a steady pace behind while Sasuke went ahead of him (yes so the order is 1st is Neji, 2nd is Sasuke, and trailing in 3rd is Naruto) as they both continued their chase of Neji.
"SHUT UP!" Neji yelled back to Naruto again.
"Neji, what did you just say?" Hinata asked annoyed and a bit ticked off.
"No, not you, Hinata-sama." Neji said a bit winded
"Are you ok? I mean did I call at a bad time?" Hianta asked curiously
"Yes, I'm fine, but what do you mean you're not at the hot springs." Neji asked sternly as he mange to dodge traffic as he ran though the streets.
"Well, the girls and I got tried at the hot springs and wanted to see a movie." She said softly
"WHAT!" Neji yelled again. And once again, Naruto and Sasuke's head jolted at the response.
"Damn, I wonder who his speaking too?" Naruto said to Sasuke but more to himself.
"Isn't it obvious?" Sasuke asked annoyed that he would even ask such a stupid question. "His talking to Hinata, that's why he started to run away form us."
Naruto was completely dumbfounded as to why Neji would not want to tell him that Hinata was on the phone and why he would run away form them. But he didn't let that bother him; he was actually excited to hear that Hinata was on the phone.
"HEY, NEJI, TELL HINATA I SAID HI!" Naruto shouted loudly to Neji.
Neji heard this and was extremely pissed off with Sasuke. So much, so that he forgot that Hinata was still on the phone.
"DAMN IT! UCHIHA! YOU TOLD UZUMAKI THAT I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HINATA-SAMA!" He yelled angerly
"Naruto-kun is with you?" Hinata asked surprised
'Damn it, Damn it, Damn it!" Neji cursed in his head.
He had to think fast. Lie, change the subject, anything
"No, of course not. That was just Uchiha, playing a joke" He said sheepishly
"Really? I just thought it was him." She said disapointedly
Neji felt bad that she was disappointed, but...he didn't at all feel bad on why she was disappointed. He was almost at the hot springs and he knew that she wasn't there; however, as long as Naruto and Sasuke didn't know where Hinata was then they couldn't bother them. So he ran as fast as he could though the streets dodging traffic and everything. He still had the phone in his hand; he then began to speck softly into it.
"Hinata-sama, which movie theater are you at right now?" he asked smoothly.
" I'm at the one that's about 30 blocks away form the hot springs." Hinata said calmly
"Are you ready to go home?" he asked softly
"No, we didn't see the movie yet. I called to see if you and Sasuke wanted to join us." She asked curiously
"Of course, I'll be there." Neji said excitedly 'yes, my chance to be with Hinata-sama has come.'
"That's great." Hinata said happily "How about Sasuke? Is he coming too?"
'Damn! There's no way, his coming.' Neji thought to himself
"Um...no, his going to be a little tied up." Neji said under his breath slyly
"Really, ok then, I guess I'll see you at the movies in a bit." Hinata said calmly
"Yes, I should be there in about five or ten minutes." Neji said as he was only three blocks away form the hot springs and he was still dodging traffic.
"Ok, I'll see you then, bye Neji." Hinata said sweetly
"See you soon Hinata." Neji said smoothly, not realizing that he forgot to add the honorable prefix. They hung up.
As soon as he hung up the phone. He decided to think of something to do to keep Sasuke and Naruto form finding them. He quickly turned around to see if they were still there. When he noticed that they were far away, form him. He began to think of a plan to stop them. He had one idea in mind, but he would need some really strong rope. He then turned a corner and soon found himself in the same place he met Sasuke earlier in the day.
But this time it was night and it looked like a dark ally. This was the perfect place to fulfill his plans only problem, he still needed rope. He then let out a deep sigh and cast his head to sky as if he was waiting for an answer. He turned once he heard a noise form behind him. His eyes widen at what he saw. There was a beam of light shining form the sky with an angelic song along with it. As he looked to were it was coming, form he eyes only widen more. There in near him was a kicked over trashcan with binge cords, rope, and duct type inside it. This was actually more then what he needed, but great all the same. He turned behind him and noticed that Naruto and Sasuke were quickly closing the gap between them. It was now or never, Neji quickly grabbed the items form the trash can and did his camouflage justu among the darkness so they wouldn't see him. He hid in the darkness and waited for his 'victims'. The two shinobis stopped in the middle of the ally and looked around for any signs of Neji.
"Where did he go?" Naruto said as he searched the area. "I know I saw him here a second ago.
"I don't know, I saw him too." Sasuke said as he carefully looked around for Neji.
Neji was hidden in the darkness and had already activated his Byakugan so he could see the young shinobis. Before the two knew what hit them it was all over. Neji had mange to not only tackle them down but also tie, gag, type and bind them back-to-back in a flash. Both of them where in the middle of the ally struggling to free themselves. There was a streetlight at the end of the ally with a dark figure underneath it. Sasuke and Naruto shifted themselves to see the figure leaning against it twirling around something in their hands. Their eyes widen when they noticed it was Neji with some leftover rope in his hands and an evil smirk on his face. He turned his back to them and dropped the rope onto the floor and his transportation justsu. Leaving one confessed shinobi and one pissed off shinobi in the darkness.
(Flashback)
Hinata had just hung up with Neji. Her face was bright red; the girls were standing outside in front of the movie theater waiting for Neji to show up.
Sakura noticed the look on Hinata's face and walked over to see if she was okay.
"What's the matter Hinata-chan?" Sakura asked with concern
Hinata slowly looked up to her with her face bright red and somewhat in shock. This caught Sakura off guard.
"He...he... he called me... Hinata." She said with a bright blush on her face.
The other girls had heard what was going on and came to see what was up.
"But it's that your name?" Ino asked puzzled. Tenten just gave her a look like she was clueless and then asked sweetly.
"Who called you Hinata?" She asked sweetly
"Neji." She said softly
"NEJI-KUN!" they said in unison
"Yes, I wonder why he would call by my first name alone, and all of a sudden to?" She asked more to herself then aloud.
The girls just looked at her with puzzled looks on their faces and they looked at each other, gave each other a warm smile, and then turned their attention back to Hinata.
Sakura then placed her hand on her shoulder and waited for her to look up to her, when she did. Sakura just smiled to her as well as the other girls. Hinata was a little puzzled as to why they were giving her looks like that for. But she didn't say anything.
"Have you ever thought that it was because he likes you?" Sakura asked sweetly
"Well, no, his my bodyguard, we can't have that kind of relationship." She said with her face slightly blushed
"He maybe your bodyguard, but his first and foremost a man." Tenten stated.
"Yes, that's true and all-" Hinata said but was interrupted
"Besides, didn't you told us earlier in the hot springs that he had feelings for you?" Ino asked knowingly
"Yes I did but-," She said as she was interrupted again
"And didn't you also say that you had feelings for him and that you was going to give him a chance."Sakura added slyly
What could she do? She was amazed at her friends' excellent memories. They were right, she did say all those things earlier in the hot springs about how she felt about Neji and that she was going to give him a chance.
"Yes, you guys are right." Hinata said with a sweet smile
(Flashback ends)
Hinata and the other girls were inside the movie theater waiting by the doors to the theater of the movie they were going to see.
"Hey, Sorry I'm late ladies." A deep and sweet voice said from behind them. They turned around and was met with a very happy Neji. He smiled at them sweetly.
"So what movie are we seeing?" He asked as he walked over and stood by Hinata.
"NEJI-KUN!" the three girls squealed
"How are you doing Neji-kun?" Sakura asked sweetly
"I'm fine, never better." He said with a hidden smirk
"Um..." Hinata said shyly
Neji then turned to Hinata and gave her a warm smile.
"How have you been, Hinata-sama, did you enjoy yourself at the hot springs?" Neji asked sweetly
"Yes, I did, thank you for asking...Neji-kun." She said sweetly with a hint of a blush on her face.
Neji's eyes widen with shock. Was he dreaming? Did he just hear her call him Neji-kun?
"Hinata-sama." He said in shock
"Please...you don't have to call me Hinata-sama anymore, Neji-kun, Hinata is fine or if you want, you can call me Hinata-chan." She said with her face light pink and looking up at him with a shy look on her face.
Neji felt like singing (if he knew how) he felt like he was in a dream that he wish would never end. It was like icing on the cake. Finally after all the hell his been though, his finally going to get the girl. YES, all is right in the world. He looked deep into her lovingly and felt the urge to tell her everything.
"Hinata-chan (he blushed when he said that) I want you to know something." He said with his back facing the entrance and his front facing Hinata.
"What is it Neji-kun?" She asked sweetly also blushing
'Neji-kun, I always wanted you to call me that, Hinata-chan.' He thought to himself.
"I wanted you to know that-" He was cut off by a very deep and familiar voice from behind him.
'OH Damn not now' Neji said in his mind
"Hey, Sorry we're late." The voice said causally
"Yeah, I hope we didn't miss anything." Another hyperactive voice said
Neji's blood was starting to boil again, when he looked though the corner of his eye and noticed Sasuke and Naruto standing by the entrance of the movie theater waving at everyone.
"N-n-n-Naruto-kun?" Hinata said shocked as she completely ignore Neji and ran over to Naruto and Sakura did the same as she went over to Sasuke.
"Hey Hinata, How are you doing?" Naruto asked coolly as he looked in to her pale blue eyes.
"I-I-I-I'm fine, what are you doing here?" She asked with her face blushing.
"Yeah, we were told that you guys were tied up somewhere, with important bussiness." Sakura said as she stood by Sasuke.
"We were tied up alright." Naruto said as he shot Neji a knowing look
"Yeah, but we mange to free ourselves and met with you guys here." Sasuke added as he wrapped an arm around Sakura.
"Yeah, it was to easy." Naruto said with his head behind and Nerviously laughed. "No big deal"
"Yeah, what can I do for you?" He asked casually as he looked down at her.
"You still didn't answer my question." She said looking up at him.
"Question? What question?" He asked completely confused.
"My question was, why are you here? I mean, how did you know I would be here?" She asked
Naruto just tilted his head for a second and simply smiled. "Isn't obvious, I'm here to see you." He said with a smirk.
Hinata's eyes just grew wide and if she could, she would've blushed more. Neji saw what was going on and he pretty much had enough. He walked over to where they were and stood next to Hinata. Ino and Tenten also followed in suit.
Neji then shot an evil glare at both Naruto and Sasuke; likewise, both Naruto and Sasuke send him glares of their own
"Uchiha, Uzumaki, What took you guys so long?" Neji asked pretending that he didn't know what happened.
"Well, we would have been here sooner, but we were tied up at the moment." Sasuke said as he shot a glance over to Neji.
"Not tight enough, if you ask me." Neji said under his breath
"What was that Neji-kun?" Hinata asked curiously
"Oh, it was nothing really." Neji said sheepishly
She gave him an unsure look and then noticed on her watch that the movie was about to start.
"Hey, we should get going the movie is going to start soon." Hinata said as she walked to the open doors of the movie theater.
"By the way, what movie are we seeing?" Neji asked curiously
"You'll see when we get in." Hinata said sweetly
Neji, Naruto and Sasuke just gave looks like their were in for another chick flick. That they really were not interesting in seeing. They soon snapped out of they daze once that the girls were already by the door. They slowly made their way to the doors and followed the girls to the row. (They pretty much sat like this, from the beginning of the row. Ino, Tenten, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Hinata and Neji)
Neji was not pleased at all that Naruto was sitting next to Hinata. But he couldn't let Hinata know he wasn't happy, he figure he might as well just kept it to himself and try to enjoy the movie.
Before they know the theater lights dimmed down and became dark and the movie began, well actually it was the commercals. A couples of minutes of watching the comical Neji got bored and decided to place his hand on the armrest.
He casually place his hand on the armrest without looking and felt a warm sensation on the palm of his hand. He turned his head and realized that his hand was on top on hinata's smaller hand. She looked at him; he couldn't help but let out a small blush on his cheek. She smiled at him sweetly, he felt pretty embarrass and he went to left the hand away form hers. He stopped when he felt a warm sensation on top of his hand; he turned and notices that Hinata's other hand was on top of his own. He looked at her with a puzzled look and she just gave him a warm smile and gently pushed his hand back on hers. His eyes soften and he mange to blush just a little deeper and he gently squeezed her hand and smiled. Now it was Hinata's turn to blush.
Hinata let go of his hand with her left hand and placed it back on the armrest. She then gave him another smile as just before she turned her head back to the screen.
Neji smiled and felt his body soften within her touch. He was so happy that Hinata was starting to appect him. He turned his head to the screen, when he did not only did his eyes widen but so did Naruto's and Sasuke's. The beginning of the movie reminded them of a certain book that a certain silver-hair Jounin read.
"I don't believe it, they actually turned it into a movie?" Naruto whispered under his breath.
"Neji and Hinata then turned their attention to Naruto with a puzzled look on their face.
"Naruto-kun, you know about this movie?" Hinata asked curiously
"Well, yeah, Kakashi-sensei read those books all the time." He said as he then gave Hinata a smirk followed by a sided eyebrow.
"I think, I should be asking you that question as well?" He said as he noticed her face was turning a light shade pink.
"Wow, I never knew, you read those kinds of books Hinata." He said with a smirk.
"N-n-no, It's not like that at all really, it was the girls idea really, I just came along." She said nervously
Neji gave an evil glare to Naruto, who simply gave him a smirk, which only pissed off Neji further before they know it there was electricity between them.
Naruto was about to say something until he felt a warm sensation on his arm. Likewise, Neji also felt the warmth on his hand. They both looked down to Hinata who simply just smiled at them. Their gazes soften when they saw her smile.
"Do you think that the two of you could get along throughout the rest of the movie?" She said with a warm smile.
Naruto just looked at Neji with a sly smirk on his face.
"Yeah, I can do that." He said, as the smirk never left his face as he start at Neji. Which pissed Neji off; he looked at Naruto with a death stare and turned his head towards the screen.
"Whatever" He mumbled
Neji began to watch the movie but found himself every now and then turning his attention to Hinata and most importantly Naruto. He noticed that Naruto had his arm around Hinata's shoulders. He wanted to swat it away but Hinata held a rather tight grip on his hand. He tried to let it go, but his blood began to boil once he noticed that Naruto's hand was heading south of the border. He mange to gather a small amount of charka to his finger and gave Naruto an electric shock. Naruto then pulled his arm away in pain (hand, arm, it's still attached to the same place, right?).
Hinata gave him a puzzled look while Neji only gave him a smirk of satisfaction.
"Are you ok Naruto-kun?" She asked worried
"Yeah...I'm fine." Naruto said though the pain.
"Are you sure?" she asked again
"Yeah you heard him Hinata, his fine right?" Neji asked with a smirk.
"Yeah...never better." Naruto said though clench teeth and gave an enrage look at Neji.
Neji just continued to stare back at him with his smirk of satisfaction; he then turned to the screen and continued to watch the movie. He didn't think he would actually like the movie, even though there were a few scenes that made him blush deeply and turn to Hinata and he blushed even more when he noticed that she was looking at him blushing and then blushed as well.
They stared at each other for what seem like an eternity and then quickly turned back to the movie. After a few minutes of watching the movie, he couldn't take it anymore, the movie was driving him crazy, base on the storyline it was like his life. The main person of the story was a woman who was in love with a man who didn't love her back. And there was another man who loved her, but she didn't feel the same way towards him, so though out the movie he tries to seduce her and make her came to him. Neji was seeing first hand on how to use the magic touch.
His face grew hot with a deep blush and he was finding it hard to breathe, he was watching a scene in the movie where the main person was in the bedroom and the guy she was staring to fell in love with was seducing her with the 'magic touch'. Neji then looked over to Hinata, she was watching the movie so intensely and her face was as red as he was. She looked so beautiful, he didn't know if it was the movie theater, or the movie, or simply that he held Hinata's hand in his own. Whatever the case was he soon found his eyes closed and his body leaning in closer to hers. He was going to do it. He wanted to do it. He wanted to kiss Hinata. He moved very slowly and smoothly as if not to make himself noticeable. He couldn't take it anymore, his mind and heart race with every itch that he made.
However, little did Neji know, but Naruto also was thinking the same thing and he also was itching his way to Hinata. Both Shinobis had their eyes closed and they were moving in slow motion. Hinata was unaware of what was going on and kept watching the movie, that is...when she noticed something shiny on the floor.
"I wander what that is?" she asked herself as she leaned down towards the shimmering object. It was then she noticed what it was.
"Oh wow, a quarter." She said happily. The second she said that she heard a kissing sound coming behind her. She turned around and twitched her eye at what she saw and not only did Hinata saw but so did everyone around them. Right behind her was Neji and Naruto kissing each other. They had their eyes closed and truly believe that they were kissing Hinata.
"W-w-what are you doing?" She asked in total shock at what she was seeing.
Both Shinobis opened their eyes and their eyes widen at what they saw right in front of them. They immedently broke the kiss and tried their best to spit the taste that the kiss left out of their mouths.
Neji was extremely pissed off. He wanted to kiss Hinata, not Naruto. He was so upset that he got up and left to go to the men's bathroom
.
There he tried to rinse out the taste in his mouth. Once the taste was finally gone, he took some water and splashed it in his face. He let the water run and hung his head over the sink. He sighed deeply and just looked at himself in the mirror. He really didn't like what he saw, he looked so tired and stress out.
"This whole love thing is going to be the end of me." He said stressed out
"Really? You think so?" A voice asked curiously
Neji looked toward the mirror and saw Sasuke leading against the dryers. Neji had a lot on his mind and having Sasuke come and talk to him wasn't one of them.
"Whatever you have to say, I don't want to hear it." He said tiredly
"Really? Well that's too bad." Sasuke said innocently as he still leaned against the dryers.
"Because, I have something to tell you, that you might find interesting." He said thoughtfully
"What do you have to say, that is so important?" Neji asked without looking at him and his head hung over the sink.
"Well, when you left, Hinata was worried and tried to call you back." He started
"Oh great, now she probably thinks I'm an Idiot." Neji said as he hung his head deeper.
"Well, Not really, she asked Naruto what happened and all he said that he had no idea all he knows was that you kiss him out of the blue. He also said that he never knew you were gay and you were in love with him..." He paused when he saw Neji's eyes flame and his fist was clenched into a tight fist. He quickly turned to Sasuke with bloodlust in his eyes. Sasuke just stared blankly at him and continued.
"Come to think of it" Sasuke said thoughtfully. "I never knew you were gay either, you should have seen the girls faces, they looked so shocked." He said as he started to laugh.
"Damn you, Uchiha, I'm going to kill you." Neji said as he inch his way to Sasuke with bloodlust in his eyes.
"Kill me? What for? I didn't say anything." Sasuke said curiously
"It's all your fault, if you haven't told Uzumaki about Hinata then none of this would have happened." He said as he felt his anger and blood rising.
"Oh well, sucks to be you." Sasuke said with an innocent smile
Neji lauged towards him, but miss when Sasuke did transportion Justu.
"Damn them." Neji growled under his breath "Damn them both"
He sighed deeply; he didn't know what to do. At first, his day was getting better, when Hinata started to accept him and then this had to happen. He leaned his head against the dryer looking down to the floor. He can't stay in there forever; he then stood up and straighten himself out and head towards the door. He sighed again before opening the door; he held his head low as he open the door and walked out.
"Neji-kun, are you feeling better?" A sweet and angelic voice said softly
Neji then picked his head up and was face to face with Hinata and behind her were everyone else by the door of the theater.
"Hinata-chan, thank you, I'm fine, really." He said in a low tone.
"I'm glad to hear that." She said smiling as she took his hand and gently pulled him along side of her and walked back to everyone.
Neji began to blush again and his whole mood soften again within her touch as they walked towards everyone else. His gaze went over everyone, but stopped when it caught sight of Naruto, as they got closer Naruto also gave him a look and a smirk.
"What were you doing in the bathroom for so long Neji?" Naruto asked with a smirk.
"None of your bussiness, loser." Neji said coldly. He wanted nothing more then punch that smirk off his face.
"Neji-kun." Hinata said softly
Neji looked down next to him and into her eyes and soon relaxed himself. He then simplify turned and headed towards the door with Hinata next to him, everyone else followed.
Once outside the movie theater, they all stood and talked about the movie that they seen. Neji looked down at his watch and notice that it was getting late.
"Hinata-chan, it's getting late, we should be heading home now." He said coolly
Hinata looked at him and then at her watch and her eyes widen.
"Your right, father is going to kill me. We have to go. "She said quickly
They waved goodbye to everyone and then transported themselves a block away form the Huygga compound. The night was warm and the light breeze was sweet. They started to walk side by side to the compound, it was quiet, every now and then Neji would look at Hinata, and likewise she would also look at him. She looked like she wanted to ask him a question but was to embarrass to ask. He knew what was on her mind, he figure he might as well just come out and say it.
He then placed his arm in front of her and she stopped and looked up to him. He then took her and turned her around to face him. For a couple of moments they only stared at each other under the streetlight. Neji looked deep into her eyes, he saw her hair sway in the breeze, and her eyes twinkle like stars. He wanted nothing more then anything to kiss her, he had her all to himself the moment was perfect. He smiled at her softly and she instantly blushed.
"I'm sorry, about what happened earlier, I hope I didn't worry you." He said softly while gazing into her eyes.
She blushed brightly, she had no idea why she was blushing so much and around Neji no less, She shyly looked at him and gently shook her head.
"It's okay Neji-kun, I understand what happened Sakura explained it to me." She said as she started to walk to the compound.
Neji was dumbfounded as he walked with Hinata towards the door and was taken back when she turned and face him with a very warm smile. She then walked close to him, carefully inched her way up, and gently kisses him on the cheek. Neji's eyes widen and he slowly turned to face her with a shock look on his face.
"Thank you, for being my bodyguard, Neji-kun." She said with a smile as she open the door and walked inside.
For a moment, Neji refused to move, he felt like he was in a dream that has finally gone his way. He slowly raised a hand to his kissed cheek. 'It wasn't a dream, she really did kiss me'. His face suddenly brighten and smile from on his face and refused to go away. He finally came out of his daze long enough to do his transport justu and reappear in his room. He then took his shirt and shoes off and made his way to his bed. He was really tired and happy at the same time; he lay on his bed and closed his eyes. He reopened his eyes when he heard knocking coming form his door. He lazily got up and walked to his door, he was so tired that he winded up leaning against the door. He slowly opened the door and was shocked at who he saw.
There in front of his door was Hinata, wearing her white slick pj's she was wearing a white midway top and very short shorts. She stood in the center of his doorway with her hands in fornt of each other and her head slightly lowered. The moon was shining so bright that it provided a spotlight for her. Neji was in awe and completely memorized at her. She slowly lifted her head and blushed when she notice that he wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Umm...Neji-Kun...can I talk to you?" She asked shyly
He snapped out of his daze long enough for him to say "Yes" he stepped aside and allowed her to walk in. he closed the door behind her and watch as she walked over and sat on his bed. He also walked over and sat on his bed next to her. He had no idea what she wanted to talk about, really couldn't care.
"Neji-kun?" She asked softly as she stared into his pale blue eyes.
"Yes, Hinata-chan." He said with the same softness in his voice.
"I think we should talk." She said as she looked in to his eyes
"About what?" He asked curiously
"About..us." She said sweetly
Neji's eye widen when he heard that. 'About us...thank you...that what I wanted to talk to you about.' He said in his mind.
"What about us?" He asked coolly
"Well, when I was at the hot springs today, I did a lot of thinking about you and me." She started "I was also thinking about my crush on Naruto-kun."
'Please let her say what I think she's going to say' he thought to himself in his mind
"I came to this fact." She said "Sakura and the others both believe it's time to give up on Naruto and look at the other man in my life...you." she said with a smile. Neji was on cloud nine right now. "I didn't realized it until now, that you were always there for me no matter what. I feel safe and warm whenever you're near me. And when you smile at me I feel like my heart is going to sing. I'm letting you know that I'm giving up my crush on Naruto, it's his lost if he doesn't want to be with me, I don't care about him anymore, right now all I care about is you. I love you Neji-kun, I always have, and I just haven't realized it until now. Please tell me I'm not to late, that I haven't lost you." She said with hers eyes twinkling with the night-light the peeked out form his window.
Neji was in shock. That's what his been waiting for. Now he doesn't have to hold back anymore. He looked at her with a sweet smile
"You will never lose me. Because I'll always be here for you. I love you to Hinata-chan. I loved you since I first saw you. I just haven't realized it until I became your bodyguard. I love everything about you, your hair, your eyes, your lips, everything. I wanted to tell you for the longest time, but I was scared of what would happen to us. But now I don't care anymore. All I ever wanted was for you to acpect me." He said, as he looked deep into her eyes.
"For me to aspect you?" She echoed his last sentence. He simply nodded. She then smiled and then gave him a shy look.
"Neji-kun?" She asked shyly
"Yes, Hinta-chan." He answered her sweetly
"About the kiss I gave you earlier. I meant it." She said sweetly. Neji's eyes widen, he knew what would be coming next.
"You did?" He asked as he was waiting for her to say it.
"Do you want to try it again?" She asked slyly
'HELL YEAH, I DO, YES, YES, YES, YES! OH HELL YEAH!' His mind scream as he just gave her a sly look of his own and gingerly warped his arms around her waist, passionatly kissed her, and likewise she deepen the kiss. Neji then thought he would be a little daring and processed to put the magic touch in action. Before they knew it, they were under the covers in Neji bed. Neji proceed to continue to kiss her and have his way her as she process to beg for more. He was the happiest guy in the world...that is when he heard this really annoying sound. He tried to ignore it, but it got louder and louder it was driving him crazy. Before he knew, his eyes opened and he found himself in his empty room on his bed, by himself.
"Damn it, it was only a dream." He cursed himself under his breath. He heard the knocking coming for the door. He was so upset that it was a dream, but he tiredly got up and made his way to the door, he was so tried and depressed that he leaned against the door and slowly opened it. When he saw who it was his eyes, widen.
"Umm...Neji-Kun...can I talk to you?" She asked shyly
TBC...
