Just The Way You Are: A Neji Love Fanfic.

Chapter 7: "I see."

The explosive blows up and the ground begand to break and Aisha and Neji fell down.

Gui-sensei and Lee: Guys!

Aisha: Aaaahh!

Time went slow for Neji and Aisha. As Neji was falling he looked at Aisha screaming with her eyes close and still holding to his hand, Neji could see rocks falling beside them as they were on the air. Neji then grabbed on to Aisha's arm pulling her close to him, her face landed on his chest along with her hands, Neji then wrap his arms around her grabbing her tight and close, he then got in to a fetal position protecting her from all the rocks.

Aisha: Neji!

Neji didn't say a word, he was holding her close and tight with his eyes close.

Lee: Guys!

Gui-sensei: Lee! Lets finish them and then look for Aisha and Neji.

Lee: Right!

Aisha heard a voice from far away calling out for her.

Aisha.

Aisha.

Aisha!

Neji: Aisha! Aisha!

Aisha woke up with a loud gasp, she sat down and looked at Neji in shock that they were alive, the fall was from a really high up place and it was almost impossible to survive.

Neji: I thought you were dead, you weren't breathing!

Aisha was staring at Neji still in shock.

He's…Okay…

Neji: Aisha? What's wro-

Neji was interrupted by her arms wrapped around him holding him close and tight. Neji just sat there, he then tapped her back, Aisha let go but Neji had his hands holding on to her arms. Aisha then began to cry.

Aisha: I thought we were going to die.

Neji: I know.

Aisha looked down and began to remember the day she confess to him and he didn't say a word, she started to feel upset again and tears began to gather in her eyes.

Neji: C'mon, we must catch up with Lee and Gui-sensei.

Neji let go of her and stood up, Aisha still looking down stood up and scream in pain, Neji looked at her and Aisha looked where it hurts to see that she had a kunai on her ankle, she then remembered the other guy stabbing her there.

Neji: Let me heal you.

Aisha: Don't touch me.

Neji: Just let me heal you.

Aisha stood up and began to walk but stumbling.

Aisha: We will look for Lee and Gui-sensei but don't you dare to talk to me.

Neij: Why? Just let me heal you, I wont let you walk like that.

Aisha: No.

Neji stood in front of her.

Neji: Or I heal you or I carry you, your choice.

Aishe: None.

Neji grab her wrist and pull her close to him, Aisha was going to slap him but he then grab her other hand they were so close to each other and Neji could see her green eyes holding on to the tears.

Aisha: Let go of me, damn it!

Neji: Not until I heal you.

Aisha: No!

Neji: I can do this all day.

Neji pin her down to the ground and started healing her by force. He needed to take out the kunai and knew it was going to hurt her, he then took one scroll that belong to him and told her to bite on it that it was going to hurt.

Neji: On the count of 3. 1…2…3!

Aisha whine and tears came out of her eyes.

Neji: Got it.

He then began to heal her, when he finish he stood up and grab on Aisha's arm placing it around the back of his neck, he then place his hand on her waist and they began to look for Lee and Gui-sensei.

While they look for them they weren't saying a word to each other.

Neji: So… Is your cold gone?

Aisha: You know I didn't have a cold, stop playing around and don't act stupid with me.

Neji: I was just asking!

Aisha: Well don't talk to me!

Neji Let go of her making her fall to the ground but he never thought that she was going to fall.

Neji: Damn it! I didn't mean to!

Neji tried to help her up when she finally was up he looked into her eyes.

Neji: Let's just do our best to get out of here, all right.

Aisha: Okay…

Few hours went by, it was around 9:00pm and they still haven't find Lee and Gui-sensei. Aisha wasn't as upset as before, Neji took good care of her, he warm her with his arms, took naps with her laying on his chest, took more care of her ankle, he didn't let her get up on even walk, and a lot of nice things he did for her.

Now they were asleep and they heard a voice and it was no other than Gui-sensei.

Aisha: Over here!

Gui-sensei: About time!

Lee: We were so worried! Are you guys all right?

Neji: Yeah, she can't walk.

Aisha: What happen to the other guys?

Gui-sensei: We took care of them, right Lee?

Lee: Yeah!

Gui-sensei: All right, lets head back!

Neji then carried Aisha bridal style and they head back to the village, Neji took her to the hospital and stayed there with her, Aisha fell asleep fast. Hours went by it was around 11pm, Neji saw her with her black hair down and beside her bed there was a small table with a little hair pin with the shape of a flower blossom. Neji looked at it and picked up.

Now that I notice, she always wears this… Neji thought.

Aisha: My mom left that for me…

Neji: Is nice I guess…

Aisha: Thanks, I never take it off and I'll never will. The only reason why I will take it off is when I lose faith…

Neji: I see…

Is a matter of time till she takes it off… With everything that has been going on with her and… I guess me. Neji thought.

Neji: I must go. I need to go to the academy with some friends. I'll see you around.

Neji stood up and walked towards her gave her the hair pin and smiled at her.

Neji: Good night.

Aisha was in shocked and blushing like hell, a small smile form on her lips. Now 12am and Aisha couldn't sleep, she had the urge to talk to Neji about her confession, she notice that he changed a little bit with her and she wanted to know what he felt. So Aisha took some crutches and left the hospital without anyone noticing.

Slowly she made it to the academy hoping that Neji would still be there, she walked through the halls looking for him and finally she heard some voices. She was about to knock on the door when she heard one of the boys say something about her.

It has been a while since we don't pick on the blue freak! We should plan something.

Hey, you better not say anything about her in front of Neji.

Oh yeah Neji what sup with you and her always hanging out?

Neji: Nothing is going on.

Are you sure?

I think she has a crush on you.

Hahaha ew. All the boys said at the same time.

So what do you think of her? Or her destiny?

Neji: I don't think anything of her. She's just… a blue freak.

Aisha's eyes widen open to hear Neji say those words, she didn't care if the other boys say that but she did care when it came from Neji.

Yeah she is.

Neji: Is getting late, we should go.

Then the door was open and the boys were right in front of Aisha with tears on her face. Neji open his eyes in shock.

Oh hey is the blue freak! Looking for Neji?

I think she's crying.

Haha.

Aisha: Is that what you think Neji?

Hey blue freak! I'm talking to you!

Aisha then punch the boy in the stomach making him fall on the floor.

Aisha: Answer me Neji. Is that what you think of me.

Neji didn't say a word he just looked down.

Aisha: I see.

She then began to stumble away and a boy grab her arm and turned her around.

Hey! We are going tell on you! You can't hit our friend and then walk awa-

Aisha then punched the boy in the face making her fly to the end of the hall. She then walked away crying silently.
