I am sooooo happy! We have our tenth correct guess as to Yotogi-san's true identity! And now, I can finally make it public knowledge! Her name is still out ther though, and I need seven more people. But for now, enjoy this revealing drabble!

Disclaimer: If I owned, don't you think Naruto adn Hinata would have gotten somewhere by now?!

She's running as fast as she can because if she stops he's a goner.

She's screaming and cursing herself, because she hates herself right now and all she wants is to catch him up in her arms and tell him everything because if he dies he'll never know that he was never really alone because she was there.

Or at least, she should have been.

She has to see him again, and help him, and tell him she loves him and that he is her world and her life and he's all she has left, and she won't let go, not again, not for anything because goddamnit! He's all she has in this life and she won't lose him!

Not again.

She promised he'd be safe, because she's be there, and she can't break her word, even if it's to a dead man, because she promised, promised, PROMISED to keep him safe! She loves him, so much so that it hurts, even though he's 12 and she's 18 and she was barely 6 when she left, but she knows him just the same. They told her when she left to live with Oba-sama that he didn't survive, but she knows better now and she'll die to keep him safe.

And she rushes forward, her blues eyes (so like his, so like Arashi's) burn with a feverish intensity that can only come from the blood that flows in her veins and she looks just like him, because the same blood is in him too. And she hurtles into the Shi no Mori, full throttle, because there's a snake in there and he'll kill her aijin, he'll kill those blue eyes to revenge himself against a man long dead. The man she once made her promise to.

' Hold on aijin, I'm coming!'

She leaps high into the air, silhouetted against the blazing sun.

' Hang on, little brother!'

From my stand point, I thought it was pretty obvious. But, I'm the author, so I guess that doesn't count for much.

Neji-torture next time, I promise. But this had to be released.

Can you say shared hotel room with en-suite bathroom? And Tenten having a ditzy moment and forgetting to bring in extra clothes?

Sorry Neji, that mission really must've taken soemthing outta me! I forgot to bring in new clothes! giggles nervously ...Neji?...Neji, why is your nose bleeding?

Until next time,
