I know I said NejiTen, but someone asked for NaruHina fluff, so here it is, somewhat. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I have said it before, and I supposed that I will have to say it again: I don't own Naruto!
He has never wanted to kill anyone for real before the instant he sees Neji try to kill Hinata.
And he stands paralyzed, unthinking and desperately afraid, because the angel, the angel with soft lavender eyes and gentle skin and sweet breaths that leave rosy lips, his angel, has tears falling from her eyes and she is trembling and he would sooner die than see her in such pain. So he shouts encouraging words and degrading terms at her foe, and feels something akin to pride rise up as Hinata faces down her opponent with eyes that would make even one of the Bijyuu step back. And the Fox growls in approval and both boy and demon watch as Hinata's true courage shines through like a beacon in the night.
And when Hinata stands, bleeding, battered, but not broken, no, not broken, his heart soars and he falls even deeper in love with her. And when Lee jumps in front of him to stop him, he has to forcefully push down the youki that bleeds into his system at the sight of her body, sprawled out on the floor, and he silently thanks the taijutsu user, because he feels the Fox rise up, in response to the threat to their intended.
Unconsciously, as he swipes up Hinata's blood and vows to win, he uses a kitsune gesture, that, had he known what it meant, would cause Neji to fall to his knees in terror.
Naruto has not just vowed victory.
He has proclaimed vengeance upon the one who dared to harm his intended mate.
I had to use that concept in here somewhere!
Hope you all liked it!
