Ai shiteru..
The amusement I witnessed in those captivating emerald eyes was enough to make me pounce on her. She watched intently as I tortured the last survivor of my mass murder. Hm.. she is darker than I thought.. but would she have the heart to dish it out.. I turned away from the pleading victim to my cherry blossom, "Would you like to try..?" Her eyes lit up as she nodded, "P-please?" A smirked spread across my lips as she got up from her seat on a bloody table and walked towards me. I ushered her to the chained up man, "Do whatever you please.. Now is the time to take out the anger you've been harboring." She paused, but didn't bother to question how I could tell. I took her seat, watching her every movement, her touches were no longer delicate, they were filled with a rage that matched my own as she brutally murdered the traitor. I should bring her more often.. I've never been one to sit an watch but she makes me want to. The man was dead within minutes but she continued the beating until I slowly walked behind her and grabbed her arm softly. Her dangerous eyes met mine and instantly softened, tears welling up as she stepped into my open arms. She told me everything, all her father has put her through and my heart shattered. I'll kill him.. After an hour of her confessions I knew that we were pushing our luck standing in the middle of this crime scene, "I have to clean up sweetheart. Go to the car, I'll be there in a sec, okay? " she nodded and took the keys. A few minutes later I climbed into the drivers seat, turning on the car and pulling away, a large blaze of the apartments was all that was seen in the rear view.
I glanced over at the clock on the dash and to the sleepy pinkette in the passenger seat right before the red light turned green. 7:30.. he'll be home by 8.. I sighed, knowing I could get her there in less than ten minutes but knowing I didn't want to. Thank god it gets dark by 5 p.m. during the winter or I would have had to wait to take that 'job'.. Suddenly what she had told me consumed my thoughts, filling me with rage as I sped into her quiet neighborhood. I'll need to have a discussion with Neji when I get home.. I could see her house in the distance as I rounded another corner, a small sigh escaped her lips causing my hands to clench against the steering wheel as I forced myself to stop on the side of the street. I just want to kill them... All of them.. She could come st- "H-Hinata-chan.." the soft voice broke through my angry thoughts as I met her eyes, "Yea?.." I replied. Suddenly her arms were around me, it was awkward with the console in between us but I held her tightly in return. Before releasing and getting out she whispered "Thank you.." and kissed me. I waited to see her walk into her house before pulling off and speeding back home, glancing over to see the black jacket she borrowed covered in blood. "Guess washing clothes should be added to my growing list of shit to deal with.." I sighed.

"What do you suppose we do about her little 'issue', Hinata?" Neji asked as he leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. I looked at him as if he had lost his mind, "You know exactly what I want to do. I came to you for a logical solution Neji-niisan.." a ghost of a smile flashed cross his lips when the suffix came out of my mouth. I haven't called him that in years.. Not since murder became almost like a daily chore.. He sighed and sat back up, propping his head up with his left hand as his elbow rested on the table, taking his cigarette in the other, "Hina.. this is very dangerous.. involving yourself with this girl.." he began, blowing out a puff of held in smoke. "I was able to hide the Uchiha.. But this is ridiculous.." jealousy swirled around him as he spoke of Itachi. Neji.. I know how our family is.. keep the bloodline as pure as possible.. but I'm in love.. "Itachi will no longer be an issue.. at least not for a while.." I couldn't hide the pain that I felt, Itachi was gone to another country with his family. He left me here.. he had a choice but he chose them for now.. and I have no say.. My cousin's lavender eyes softened, "Hinata.." I shook my head as my eyes met his desperately, "Please.. Niisan.. I don't want to lose her too.." He took a long drag on his cancer stick before blowing it out with a out drawn sigh, "Fine.. but you have to grant me one thing.". My eyes lit up, "Anything.", " You have to let me take you out.." his eyes boar deep into my own as he did what few could do. He made me blush heavily, finally I managed to stutter out some sort of response, " N-Neji.. but T-Tenten wou-", "I'll take care of that. Just give me this one thing before I let this go Hina.." his eyes were soft, caring, and so full of the pain only I've seen, "Okay Neji.. But f-first we have t-to take him down." He smiled a rare smile and nodded, "I'll take care of it." the tall Hyuuga stood up, cigarette crushed in the ash tray. He began to walk from the room, but I quickly stood and wrapped my arms around his waist from behind. He allowed his hands to rest on my arms as he whispered, "Ai shiteru, Hinata-sama.." before pulling from my grasp and leaving the mansion. A small sigh escaped my lips as I heard the large door slam shut, leaving a eerie silence to fill the house. Gomenasai.. Neji-niisan..

"Hinata, meet your older cousin Neji." my father said as he nudged me forward, my uncle smiled down at me as he motioned for his son to step forward. "H-hi," the older boy mumbled, "H-hello.. I'm H-Hinata.." I whispered back, my small cheeks burning an intense red. "Neji will be living will us from now on Hinata, won't that be fun?" My eyes widened at my father's words, "H-how come?". The answer came from the older boy, "My father has to go away on business.." his eyes were sad. Pushing past my shyness I took his hand in mine and smiled sweetly, "I-It's o-okay.. W-we will k-keep each other c-company, N-Neji-niisan." a large smile spread across his face as the older men chuckled above us.
Neji-niisan… Ai shiteru..
