Itachis POV:
"I think everyone is finally ready to go back, are you guys ready to go home?" Kakashi asked the small group of us as he walked back over to us. I did indeed want to go home but I had to do one last thing.
"Have you seen the Mizukage?" I asked Kakashi and he looked confused, I needed to do one more thing. It was important to me.
"She's that way" he said, pointing in the direction of where the intelligence unit was before it was destroyed. I nodded my head and started walking in that direction. My body didn't want to move but I pushed myself. I was tired but it was important to me.
I continued to walk, everyone was talking amongst themselves and helping others up from injuries. I finally spotted Mei, she wasn't too far from where our small group was.
"Excuse me, Mei?" I asked politely as possible, her back was turned to me because she was talking to a few shinobi from her village.
"Yes?" she asked and turned to me. She looked a little banged up but nothing some salve couldn't heal.
"Do you remember me?" I asked her, hoping she would so it would make this easier.
"Yes, you're Hinata and Kisame's friend" she asked with a small smile and my heart ached for a minute. Kisame was one of the only reasons why I didn't go crazy while I was in the Akatsuki and it bothered me to know I would never hear his bad humor again.
"Kisame.. He didn't make it" I informed her and I watched her face turn a little bit. She knew she lost a great member of her village too.
"Oh, that's terrible," she said sounding a little sad now but I think that was for my sake.
"I came here to ask you if it would be okay if I took his body with us back to the leaf so he can be buried at home. I know he was your shinobi but he was part of-" I continued rambling and she raised her hand to stop me from talking, which I did.
"Yes, take him home. I know he will be honored greatly in your village more than mine" she said kindly and I bowed to her as a thank you. I turned away from her feeling relieved.
My legs started moving again but this time towards Kisame's body, I needed to grab it before I started the journey home with everyone. I knew we had a lot of people to bury from this war and it wouldn't have felt right if he wasn't apart of it. I knew Kakashi wasn't going to protest when he saw me carrying Kisame home either.
I was a little happy that his body wasn't to far away but the closer I got, the more my heart hurt. I scanned the rocks and debris for him since everything continue to get blown up and moved around after he died.
My eyes finally saw sight of Samehada, the sword was stuck in a rock and I moved towards it. When I got closer I finally saw him, he wasn't buried by rocks but he was hidden by them.
"C'mon friend, time to go home" I whispered out loud as my hands touched the handle of his sword and ripped it from the rocks. It was a heavy sword too, how the hell did he swing this thing around like paper? I had never touched it until today and I gave Kisame more respect now, he was truly strong.
I leaned his sword against a different rock and pulled his body up off the ground.I had to pull out the pieces of wood from his body before anything. It was awkward to say the least but I managed to mount him on my back after that. I made sure I wasn't going to drop him while I walked, I grabbed his sword and started moving back towards everyone.
A few minutes went by and I was glad they were there, they were waiting.
"What took you so-" Sasuke had started to say in irritation but stopped when he saw Kisame on my back. We made eye contact and he didn't bother questioning me anymore. I was surprised he even had energy left to talk. Sakura had finally got the bleeding to stop on both of them but they both lost a lot.
Neji was helping Naruto walk incase he got dizzy or completely tired and Sakura was helping Sasuke even though he kept on insisting he was fine.
"Well, I guess it's official now. Lets get home" Kakashi said and we all started our journey back. Whomever was left alive were started to meet by their own nation and five groups were forming so we could all leave just how we came. Our two journey toward home was beginning.
Hinatas POV:
Two days had passed since the moon did that weird thing but I put my thoughts on hold when I heard the sound of running down the dirt street. I looked up to see Hinabi moving as fast as she could towards my porch. I was trying to enjoy the nice morning we were having with tea and a book. I had finished tending to the garden and became bored. But the way my sister was running was about to change that.
"Hinabi, what's the matter?" I asked her as she slowed her running down. I waited for her to catch her breath and then she looked up to me, smiling.
"They're back" she said to me which caught me by surprise.
"What do you mean they're back?" I asked her as she started pulling me off the porch.
"The war is over, they won. They'll be here in a few, the border patrol can see them and sent word back here to prepare everyone for the injured" she said to me as she continued pulling me towards the gates of the Uchiha district. Luckily for us we could just stand in the gates as we watched everyone file into the village since it was right near the main entrance. It was slightly up on a hill too so spotting anyone wouldn't be hard.
Hinabi had finally stopped dragging me when she realized I was actually walking on my own towards the gates and then my heart started speeding up. I wasn't sure who was going to be walking in or carried.
"You probably shouldn't be with me when father returns, he's going to get mad" I said to Hinabi as we finally reached the distract gates. We both leaned against the wall and just waited.
"It's okay, he's going to be too tired to yell. He's probably just going to be glad he's home and plus, I want to meet everyone" she said cheerfully and I giggled at her.
"They're going to be tired too you know but let's see" I said to her, trying to remain positive.
Sounds were getting louder and louder, that was a signal they were just about in the entrance of the leaf. Slowly but surely, shinobi started coming in. A few I recognized from missions or the academy but none I really wanted to see.
"I see father" Hinabi said and pointed to him, it was the first time in years I had seen him. It was nerve racking but relieving to see him alive at least. But then he looked over, it's like he sensed that Hinabi was over here. He strayed away from the crowd and started moving towards us. Slowly but surely he was coming. A few more members of our clan must of noticed because they followed him.
"I'm sorry if you get yelled at" I whispered to my sister and she nodded her head. He was about twenty feet away and still didn't stop moving. I don't know why I was so nervous, I didn't even feel like this when I left the compound that day.
Then something happened that I didn't think would ever happen again, he hugged Hinabi and I at the same time. I was stunned to say the least. Did he realize he was hugging me?
"I didn't think I'd ever see you guys again" he whispered to us and let us go. I was so confused it wasn't even funny.
"What?" I blurted out and then him and I locked eyes.
"When were fighting, there was a moment when I thought I wouldn't come back. I know you hate me but you're still my daughter, Hinata. It made me realize a few things" he said and I was taken aback, was my Dad actually speaking true feelings right now?
"When you have time, come by the compound" he said to me and offered his hand to Hinabi and I watched them leave towards their home. My head was spinning, what the hell happened out there? I guess I would find out when I saw everyone and asked.
I focused my attention back towards everyone coming into the village and finally I saw everyone. They were in a small group, I smiled seeing everyone was alive and back. My eyes started to water knowing everyone made it back safely.
Then I noticed Kisame too, he was back? I smiled, what made Mei change her mind? I took a step forward, I was eager to greet them but then the feelings Itachi had towards me surfaced again. They were only gone for three days but he left five days ago on his own because he was angry with me.
I shook the thoughts away and started walking toward them anyways, Neji saw me first and he smiled. My body started moving on his own and I began running. I didn't even care if I looked like an emotional mess from crying happy tears either.
I jumped on my cousin and he closed his arms around me.
"I'm so glad you made it back" I said to him and hugged him tighter and finally he let go.
Itachis POV:
We finally made it home and I couldn't have been happier. The weight of Kisame was killing me though but I wasn't letting him go yet. I knew where I wanted to bury him, right near the lake of the Uchiha district. That was the last time I saw him happy and finally looking free. Also because it was right near water and that's what he loved.
As we slowly moved into the village, Shinobi were being pointed in different directions based on their injuries. I was going to avoid being treated, I knew sleep was going to help me and you can't fix being blind in one eye.
As the small group of us finally got into the village, I looked towards the Uchiha district and I saw Hinata and her sister being hugged by their father. I watched as he let them go and took her sister in the direction of their own home. I wondered what they were talking about and then my sight lingered on her for a minute. I was still mad but nearly as mad as I was when I left that day.
The small group of us moved from the giant group of Shinobi, we all just wanted to go into our houses. My brother and Naruto though were both still near Sakura as she lead them away from us. Leaving just Kakashi, Neji and I. As I continued watching, she started running down the small hill and she was crying. I looked to see Neji and her had made first eye contact. She ran straight into his arms and they just hugged each other.
They finally let go and the four of us just stood there for a second.
"Do I not get a hug either?" Kakashi asked, making a joke of the awkward silence. She gladly gave him one too but I wasn't ready to touch her yet.
"I didn't know Kisame wasn't coming back with you guys," she said and I froze, she probably thinks he's knocked out and I didn't know what to say so I looked at the ground. I was ready to go lay him to rest.
"Hinata.. Kisame is.." Neji started to speak and then stopped.
"He's dead" I finished Nejis sentence for him, I wasn't trying to sound rude but it was an accident. I looked up to see her just standing there, no emotion whatsoever and I decided now was the time to move away from everyone.
I started my journey toward my district, I could hear them behind me but they stayed their distance. I was glad they did, that was the first time I actually said he was dead and didn't sugar coat it. It didn't make it any easier though.
…
I wasn't sure how I was going to pull the energy off to dig this hole for Kisame but I knew it had to be done. I took a small break, I was sitting in the grass just holding the shovel and spacing out. I knew eventually my emotions were going to break threw over everything but I was trying to keep myself together.
I pushed myself off the ground and started digging the hole but I was stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I knew who it was but I didn't look at her.
"Let me help you" she whispered, she removed her arm from me and started helping me dig his grave. I didn't protest because I knew they were friends and it would probably help make her feel better.
"What happened?" she asked and stopping digging. I looked at her and she was looking at his body and the four holes in it.
"Madara sent out a wide spread attack, I went to cover Naruto but realized Sasuke covered him and before I realized it. Kisame had no coverage and before I could reach him, he got blasted with the attack.." I said in a low tone, Hinata didn't respond to me after that. She continued helping me dig.
…
There it was.. He was finally buried. We had made Samehada his grave marker until he could get him a real one. It was fitting though, you could always see his sword before him anyways.
Hinata and I were sitting on the grass near the grave now. She was covered in dirt and sweat and I already knew I was filthy before digging this hole so I'm sure it didn't help my matter anyways.
I started to space out a little bit, a replay of him dying in front of me was going over and over again. I was making myself upset knowing full well he should be here but I didn't protect him.
"Itachi.." Hinatas voice broke my thoughts and I looked at her. She had moved in front of me and just wrapped her arms around me. I buried my face into her shoulder and the tears started coming. Tears from the loss of my friend, tears from past anger and tears of happiness knowing I was here.
I had eventually stopped and she let me go and we just sat in silence.
"Thank you for helping me bury him" I told her and she nodded her head.
"He was my friend too even though he made fun of my height all the time," she said and I smiled a little bit. Then the last words he said to me ran thru my mind again. Tell little Hyuga that I'll be watching over the real little Hyuga.
"The last thing he said to me was that he was going to be watching over the real little Hyuga" I told her even though it bothered me greatly. I watched her place one hand on her stomach and smiled lightly.
The small sound of the water moving made me look and I saw a fish swimming near the top of it and I glanced over to Kisame. Was that a sign? Should I just get over what I was mad about? I wondered but I knew I needed a little more time to think about things. I knew I would get over the anger of being lied to eventually but I missed her.
"Itachi.. Can I ask you a question?" she asked me and I turned my focus back on her. I nodded my head and waited for her to speak.
"What happened to your eye?" she asked, touching the left side of my face gently inspecting my eye carefully. I hadn't seen the full extent of it but I knew I couldn't see out of it.
"I used a jutsu that would leave me blind in this eye, it was a sacrifice to help stop the war" I informed her and moved her hand away from my face. I started to get off the ground and lended her my hand so she could pull herself up. She remained quiet when I told her and I started walking back to my house.
I walked up the stairs and into the bathroom, the first thing I did was look at my face. I focused on my now completely white eye. More like clouded white but you could tell something was wrong with it. My vision in my left eye was gone but it wasn't black at least. I could just barely see dark patches, it was almost like my left eye was in night time mode. It would never be useful to me again in battle, that much I knew.
I started to take my clothes off when a knock on the bathroom door sounded off. I knew it was Hinata though. I was almost positive Neji was already sleeping and my brother was in the medical area.
"Do you need something Hinata?" I asked, throwing my shirt to the floor was I opened the bathroom door. She kind of just stood there for a second, looking over my body. It made me blush a little bit and I didn't know why. It wasn't like it was the first time she was my body.
"Your chest, there's a stab wound" she said gently and I looked down. I forgot Kabuto stabbed me, I've been running off of adrenaline these past couple of days.
"Let me heal you, I know you're not going to go get checked out" she said, pushing past me. She grabbed my wrist, pulling me in and I shut the door behind me. She wasn't wrong, nor did I have the motivation to walk back to the medical area we had. I wondered how much longer it would be for the hospital to be back up and running.
She leaned me against the bathroom counter and her hands started glowing in the healing green. She placed her hand over the small hole in my chest from his kunai and it tingled a little bit. It didn't take long for her to close the wound and then she spun me around to inspect me some more.
"You have some scratches on your back too but mostly bruising but that's nothing some salve won't help" she said and I nodded my head.
"I don't think I have anymore injuries" I told her honestly.
"That's good" she whispered and I turned to face her again.
"Thank you" I whispered to her and gave her a small smile.
"You don't have to thank me, I should be thanking you. You guys all went out to risk your lives for everyone" she said and started pushing her two fingers together. I hadn't seen her do that in a long time and I knew she felt uncomfortable around me because of our last conversation.
I grabbed her hands into mine and waited for her to look at me.
"Stop doing that" I told her and she looked away from me again. I was still upset because we never really talked about anything because it was just surprise after surprise with her those two weeks before the war started.
"I might be mad about everything but I don't hate you" I told her, moving my hands to her face so she would look at me.
"Are you sure?" she asked me, I was actually. I just needed to look at everything logistically and because I swear that fish was Kisame telling me to get over it.
"I'm sure" I said and I kissed her, it was the only way I knew that would reassure her of what I just said. She kissed me back and it got heated rather quickly. I ended up picking her up and placing her on the counter. She removed her shirt in the middle of all of it and my hands roamed her body. They moved down her sides and then I remember she was with child. Not my child and so I stopped kissing her.
"I need to shower, I'm sorry" I told her as a lame way of ending things. She nodded her head and left the bathroom. I really did need to think about things because there was a walking reminder inside of her of why I was angry.
I took the remainder of my clothes off and got in the shower. The next few conversations with her were going to be stressful. That much I knew.
Kakashis POV:
The village was quiet the next day and that was okay with me. After all the yelling and explosions, people needed rest and I knew no one was going to be doing a lot today. Tomorrow however, even if we didn't want to we had to get the village up and running again with whomever was able to help.
I removed myself from my couch in my office and started heading downstairs. I wanted to go check on Sasuke and Naruto, they took a beating and I wanted to make sure they were okay.
I headed out of my house and I squinted a bit from the sunlight. My headache was intense, after Obito somehow lent me both of his sharingans, they vanished. I still wasn't used to not having mine, it became apart of me for so long. So walking around without my headband covering the left side of my face felt funny but I'm sure I would get used to it.
I was just grateful that I still knew everything I learned from having the sharingan, it would be handy if a threat ever showed itself again.
I continued walking and I was passing Itachis house and it was quiet, they must of been sleeping still. I hoped they could fix their issues so I wouldn't have to worry about Itachi coming to my home and fighting with me again.
…
"Shizune, is it okay to go in there?" I asked her when I arrived into the medical area, looking at Sasuke and Naruto's tent. She nodded her head and I opened the tent flap, walking in. Naruto was awake, sitting up in his bed, picking at something on his pants. He was bandaged all around his chest, probably to hold whatever on tight to his missing limb. I glanced at Sasuke too, he was in the same boat.
"Shouldn't you be getting rest?" I asked him and his head snapped over to me.
"I'm already feeling fine," he said to me as he tried to get off the floor. I moved a little quickly over to him, pushing him back down gently. I knew he was telling the truth due to the healing abilities of the nine tails chakra but I wanted him to sit.
"Do you ever shut up" Sasuke mumbled with his eyes closed. I smiled knowing he was okay too. He was probably feeling worse than Naruto because he had no other way of healing except on his own bodies time.
"I just wanted to check up on you guys" I whispered and took a seat on the edge of Naruto's bed since he wasn't lying down.
"I would be better if you both stopped talking" Sasuke spat at us, putting a pillow over his head.
"I guess we'll have to whisper," I said, looking at Naruto.
"I have something for you" he said to me and I raised my eyebrow in curiosity. He had been in here sleeping all night, what could he possibly have? I watched him reach over to the chair near his bed, grabbing his pants he had on while we were fighting. He fished around the two pockets and finally took out a circular object that was dark purple. It was about the size of an apple.
"I know Obito was important to you so when he became a pile of white dust, I grabbed some. I infused my chakra into it so make it a solid object for you to have something of him now since you know" Naruto told me and pointed at his own eye to remind me I lacked the special Uchiha bloodline now. I was speechless, I didn't know what to say to him. It warmed my heart though, I didn't realise I lost the only piece of my friend I had until Naruto gave me this one.
"Thank you.." I said as he handed me the object, I clutched it in my hand for a minute before putting it in the pocket of my vest.
"I didn't even know him for that long and I wish he was here with us" Naruto said with sadness in his voice and I nodded my head. He didn't even realize how much I agreed with him.
"Well, I guess since you guys won't stop talking I guess it's time to get up" Sasuke grumbled and started moving around. He pushed himself to sit up but I could tell it hurt him.
"Well if you're awake I'm still really curious as to how you and Naruto defeated Kaguya" I spoke to him, completely changing the subject from Obito.
"I'm not awake enough for that, I just wanted some breakfast" he said, rubbing his eyes the best he could with one arm. I felt bad, they had sacrificed part of their bodies for this. I mean, Itachi and I did too but it was our eyes not our arms.
"I'm sure I can find you both something" I told them, removing myself from Naruto's bed.
"I can come with you" Naruto spoke, removing the blanket from his legs.
"If you say so but if you get yelled at from being out of bed, I don't want to hear it" I told him, not trying to have Tsunade, Shizune or Sakura yell at me. They all scared me when they yelled, nor did I think it would benefit my headache.
Hinatas POV:
"What made you feel like cooking breakfast this morning?" I asked Neji as I took a sip of my juice.
"I was hungry and when I started cooking I remembered you should be eating breakfast everyday and I'm sure Itachi is hungry as well" he said with his back turned to me while we talked. Itachi.. I wasn't expecting him to kiss me last night. I was happy he did though, I wanted to since they came home yesterday. It also made me feel better know he didn't hate me. I hoped him and I could talk soon though.
At least this time when we talked hopefully there wouldn't be any yelling and we could try and figure things out. But speak of the devil and he shall appear, I could hear him coming down the stairs. I decided it was probably best if I slept in the guest room, giving him all the space he needed.
He walked into the kitchen, gave me a kiss on my cheek and sat next to me. I was going to question as to why he gave me one, I was just going to enjoy it before things got intense.
"You really feel like cooking this morning?" Itachi asked Neji and I giggled.
"You guys are so alike" Neji whined while he cooked. I looked over at Itachi and he looked confused.
"I said the same thing to him" I informed him and his look of confusion washed away.
Neji finally finished cooking and placed the food on the table, he sat down and all began putting things on our plates.
"Father hugged me yesterday" I blurted out to them as we were eating breakfast and I swear if Nejis reflexes aren't fast that I would have watched his fork hit the table.
"I'm sorry, what?" my cousin asked me, that's exactly how I felt too.
"He said that he realized a few things when you guys were all fighting and wants me to come by the compound, will you come with me? That's why I said it out loud" I asked Neji, while taking a bite of my food.
"I suppose so. Itachi, would you also like to come? It might be the only time you meet Hiashi" Neji said, not making eye contact with him. I didn't even think to ask Itachi but then again I wasn't sure what his answer would be if I did ask.
"You sure that's a good idea? He wasn't very kind to me during my trial when I returned back here" Itachi said and then I remembered some incredibly rude things that day. It all came back very quickly even though that happened so long ago.
"I'm sure" Neji said, half smiling. I glared at him, was he up to something?
"Okay then, when should we go?" Itachi asked, taking a drink of juice.
"We can go after breakfast, it's quiet today" he spoke and we all nodded our heads. I wasn't even sure what to expect when we went there. It was going to be awkward, I knew that much. Father wasn't even aware of what was going on in my stomach and I was scared to tell him.
…
We were near the compound and my heart was beating heavily.
"Can't we just go back home?" I asked, stopping before the entrance to the compound. It was different coming here when only my sister was around but now that a majority of the clan was back, it was different. Not to mention is was late afternoon which meant everyone would be outside for the most part.
"You'll be fine" Itachi said, grabbing my hand. I smiled. This is one of the reasons I fell in love with him in the first place. Even though he was mad at me, he was still making sure I was okay. I felt bad now, I made him feel angry over something that shouldn't of happened. I shouldn't of been doing things with the both of them. I was selfish.
"Hinata!" I heard a female voice yell and I looked, Hinabi was running toward me again. She slowed her pace when she realized Itachi and Neji were with me. Her eyes grew wide when she focused on Itachi and I gigged remembering what she told me.
"Is she okay?" Itachi asked me.
"She thinks your family are legends, she's just nervous" I informed him and he looked uneasy now.
"What?" he asked me and I let Itachi's hand go and walked toward my sister to hug her. I would have to fill him in later on.
"Are you guys here to talk with father?" she asked and I nodded my head.
"I can lead the way," she said, turning her back towards us to bring us to my Dad. We all walked behind her and she led us down some hallways, I already knew where we were going, the meeting room. Not the office one either, the comfortable one where we could have tea.
"I'll go get him, I think he's in his study," she said, leaving us in the hallway. I opened the door and all filed in it. I took a seat on the couch in the corner and looked around. Not much had changed in here but I wasn't surprised. I was just more surprised I was even in the compound.
"So what did you mean by she thinks my family are legends?" Itachi asked me while we waited, damn I guess he really wanted to know.
"She thinks because Madara helped find this place and that you're related to him makes your last name legendary and she's also in your favor because you were really helping out the village the entire time when everyone thought you were the bad guy for killing your clan" I said to him, I sounded really harsh but I had no other way of saying it. I looked at both Itachi and Neji after I was done speaking and they paled a little bit, did I say something wrong? I hoped it wasn't because I used the name Madara.. I know they fought him and all.
"I wasn't expecting that and please don't ever bring up the fact that I'm related to Madara again" he asked me nicely and I nodded my head. It was definitely what I thought then.
The sound of the door opened made us all look, Hinabi walked in and my father was right behind her. He looked like his normal harsh self today and not how he did yesterday. I started to wonder if this was a bad idea after all.
"I'm glad you came, I didn't think it would be so soon though" my Dad said, starting the conversation as he took a seat in a chair on the other side of the room. He was sitting closer to Neji than anyone and I felt like a child again. Like he was about to berate me for something I did and praise Neji all in the same sentence.
"Spur of the moment, I suppose" I said, trying to keep the conversation flowing so there wasn't any awkward silence like their normally was.
"Well, before anything can I offer lunch to you guys?" he asked, looking around the room toward everyone.
"Sure" Neji said, speaking for all of us. Before Hinabi was even asked, she got up and headed out of the room. I assumed to tell our cooks to prepare a meal for everyone. I questioned him, he only offered things when he wanted something.
"So, on the way home from the battlefield, Neji and I had a very long conversation" he said to me, making sure to look me in the eyes. I remained quiet, waiting for him to finish talking.
"He informed me of all the great things you've done in the past few years since you've left. I'm not going to lie, I didn't want to hear him at first. But, I listened and I have to say I'm proud of you" he said and I could hear it in his voice, he was being honest. I looked at Neji and he nodded his head slightly.
"I never thought I would hear you say that" I spoke my truth out loud.
"Thank you for taking care of her" my Dad said looking at Itachi, ignoring me. Why was he being so nice?
"I would do anything for her. I helped her out the night she left here and that's where it all started" Itachi spoke, he was right. If he didn't hear me crying that night then I wasn't sure where we would be today.
"I appreciate that but there's something else" my father spoke and I could hear the kindness in his voice leaving. I swallowed the lump in my throat, I didn't like his tone.
Before he could even speak, the door reopened again and Hinabi walked back in with a tray full of cups and tea. She set it down on the coffee table in the middle of the room before she went and sat next to Neji.
"I know about the child inside of you" my father spoke and I felt like my entire world turned to icy glass, one wrong move and the entire thing would shatter. I felt the warmth of a hand on top of mine, it broke me of my thoughts. I glared in the direction of Neji and Hanabi, how could they?
Neji raised his arms defensively and I knew it wasn't him. All my attention landed on my sister at this point and she looked away from me giving me the clue that she's the one who told.
"How could you?" I spat at her.
"I was excited,' she said, trying to find a justifiable reason for telling my father. I actually growled at her and then my father coughed which made me refocus my attention back toward him.
"I'm not mad you're pregnant" he said to me and my head started spinning. He wasn't mad at me? That can't be true. I knew for a fact I was in the real world and not the infinite tsukuyomi anymore.
"Then what are you?" I questioned him, I didn't realize I had an attitude until I asked a question.
"I'm worried" he told me a truthful answer and it made me wonder what he was talking about.
"Worried about what? Since when do you worry?" I asked him.
"The Elders, their ideals on pregnant woman in this clan are different and its even more of an issue that you're not apart of this clan anymore," he said, looking somewhat sad while he finished his sentence.
"I'm not scared of them" I said, defending myself. If I could escape my fate once, I would do it again. I was good at dodging bullets and this wasn't one I would be hit with.
"Do you not know the story of Neji's father and I?" he asked me and it caught my attention. Nejis dad Hizashi was a sensitive subject that only he talked to me about. We knew he passed away but were never told how and that's why my father raised Neji instead.
"You've never spoken of it. No one has. My father is like a forbidden subject" Neji said with an attitude and I understood why. I guess we were going to be here for a while..
