Extra Information
- Byakugan – White Eyes : This jutsu is activated in the eyes, much like the Sharingan. Sharingan actually developed from Byakugan. This jutsu allows the user's vision to become 360 degrees. The user is able to see fully around them, and all their surroundings. Byakugan also has the ability to see objects, and view the inner coil system of a person's body, and in advanced cases, the Chakra Holes. Using this, the user can attack the inner organs of a person, and do high amounts of damage.
- Hyuga Style Taijutsu - A special Taijutsu style passed down through the clan itself. The Taijutsu style damages the body by allowing chakra, flowing through the users palm, to directly damage the opponents Inner Coils System. This Taijutsu directly destroys the opponents inner organs, and the softest blows can take out the largest person - and deal high amounts of damage.
- Juin Jutsu - (Curse Seal): This Seal is unique to the Hyuga Clan. It was created by the Souke (Main) House. It is used on every member of the Bunke (Branch) House, when they are young. The seal, places an odd shape on the patients forehead. This symbol, is activated when a member of the Branch House dies. This trigger, causes the seal to begin eating away at the brain cells of the patient. By doing this, evidence of the Byakugan is destroyed. This evidence keeps the secrets of the Hyuga Clan in tact. A hand-seal, using chakra can also trigger this effect. It gives the main house control over the branch house. This seal is given to the Bunke house by force, and not by choice.
- Holster : it's the pouch attached the their right or left leg which usually carries kunais and shurikens.

===========================================
*Naruto's Apartment*
Naruto started to undress himself, when he heard a familiar sound.
Knock Knock
"I must be dreaming" Naruto thought as he took his orange suit off
Knock Knock
"Okay, now I'm either crazy or someone is trying to piss me off" Naruto told himself
Knock Knock
"That's it, now I'm pissed." Naruto said as he grabbed a shirt and pants and rushed towards the door
Knock Knock Knock Knock
"Alright already!" Naruto yelled out as the knocking continued
Naruto opened the door quickly and with great force as he was about to yell at the person for the continuous and annoying knocking, when his eyes widened at what stood in front of him.
"Naruto-kun ........." Hinata said as she had trouble speaking
"Hinata? What ......... Why are you hear?" Naruto asked
"I......... I didn't know where to bring him ........." Hinata said as she turned slightly to her left side revealing the person she carried on her back
"N.........Neji.........?" Naruto let out before his eyes widened in shock
"Naruto-kun......... Neji's is heavy for me could you help ........." Hinata asked with a shy voice
Naruto nodded as he helped her carry Neji. He placed Neji's loose arm behind his neck, as the blond grabbed Neji by the waist.
After, they both walked inside the apartment, while they headed towards Naruto's bedroom.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Bedroom*
Hinata didn't have much strength left, as Naruto was the one to put Neji on his bed carefully.
Naruto turned back to face Hinata, as she was playing with her fingers and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
"Hinata, what happened?" Naruto asked nervously
"Neji-nisan got hurt because of the main family......... my family........." Hinata answered with a low tone
"You mean that a member of your family activated Neji's curse?" Naruto asked with surprise
"Hai........." Hinata answered as she felt really bad
"Hinata, could you wait for me in the kitchen? I'll just put a wet cloth on Neji's head to make the sweating go down" Naruto asked as she nodded and left the room
As Hinata left the room, Naruto quickly made his way to his bathroom to grab the cold wet cloth and come back to Neji's side.
He untied the forehead protector as he noticed Neji was still in a bit of pain.
Naruto placed the cold wet cloth on Neji's forehead as he gently caressed the boy's cheek.
"Get better soon Neji" Naruto whispered as he walked out of the room
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Kitchen*
Hinata stood near the table when she looked around to notice the many dirty pots and ramen here and there.
"Hinata. I want you to tell me what happened please" Naruto almost begged
Hinata at first jumped when the blond stood behind her but as she turned around, she gave a slight nod and agreed to tell him everything.
Naruto pulled out a chair, as he pointed to Hinata that she should sit down.
Hinata sat down as she thanked him for the kind gesture.
Naruto sat in front of her, as he couldn't help but stare at the poor girl, awaiting to know what went on.
============================================================================ ==========
*FLASHBACK*
-Hyuga Household-
There was a gathering at the Hyuga Estate, as more family members of the Main family came to visit in Konoha.
In the backyard of the estate, Neji continued his training while he ignored the unpleasant presence of the main family relatives that had come over.
From within the shadows of the tree, a shy Hinata hid as she only observed her cousin.
Neji had sense a while ago that Hinata had been watching him, but since Naruto's comment, he didn't have any grudge against her anymore, so he decided to simply ignore her for the moment being.
As Neji prepared to train his Byakugan to see how many birds hid in the trees, he sensed the presence of another person that stood not far from his own position.
"I was wondering where I would find a branch family member here." The man spoke as he leaned against the doorframe
Neji turned around to face this Hyuga, as he hid any emotions he had earlier.
"I'm surprised that the main family hasn't thrown you out yet" The Hyuga male said with a smile
"Me and Hinata-sama's father have an arrangement." Neji replied with a neutral tone
"I'm surprise to hear such a thing" The Hyuga stated
"Why is that?" Neji asked but he already knew the answer
"In those Chuunin Exams you almost killed Hinata." The man answered as he took a step towards the boy
"That was then, this is now" Neji simply replied
"Well at least Hinata's father made one good choice in his life, and that was to let you father be killed in his pace when you were younger. That is the only purpose for the branch family after all........." The man teased as he waited for a reaction
Neji's fist closed quickly, as his Byakugan appeared within his eyes to express the anger he felt upon hearing those words.
From within the shadows, Hinata noticed the anger and resentment in the air, as he started to bite her fingernails and continued to only watch.
Neji closed his eyes for a moment, as he forced himself to calm down, to then reopen them without his Byakagan.
"I have no interest in pursuing this conversation." Neji replied as he started to walk away
The Hyuga male was quite angry to this point and without a second thought, he charged towards Neji, fist first.
Hinata's eyes widened as she opened her mouth to warn her cousin, but no words came out.
Neji sensed this attack and immediately turned around to face his attacker.
Both fought in the style of Hyuga Style Taijutsu for several minutes, as Hinata could only watch and hope no one would get hurt.
After a few blocks, Neji finally managed to see an opening in his opponent, as he struck him directly in the chest.
The man gasped for some air, as he fell to his knees before the boy.
"If you engage me in battle, at least make sure you're as strong as Hinata's father. I'd advice you to leave me alone during your stay at this estate." Neji warned the man as he turned around and walked away
"You little bastard........." The male said as he rose to his feet
Neji stopped in his tracks, as his eyes focused on his side, waiting for the next move.
The man placed his hands together to perform a seal.
Upon seeing the seal, Hinata almost rushed out of the bushes to warn Neji, but her legs wouldn't move a bit.
"Juin Jutsu" The Hyuga said as he gave a smile
Neji's head turned around quickly, shocked by hearing those words, as he remembered the time Hinata's father had used it against his father.
Suddenly, Neji placed his hands on each side of his head, as he fell on the ground, experiencing an enormous amount of pain in his head.
Neji's vision started to blur, as the man never let his hands separate to torture the poor boy.
To this point, Neji fell completely on the ground as he found himself staring at the black sky.
The Hyuga approached the boy as he started to kick him in the ribs.
Although Neji felt a lot a pain, he wasn't able to move because of the curse. His hands started to loosened on his head, as both hands hit the ground.
The man was about to kick Neji straight in the head, when someone tackled him, putting him a few meters away from Neji.
Neji tried to focus his eyes to see who had interfered, as the figure standing next to him looked familiar.
"Stay away from Neji-nisan" Hinata warned the man as she activated her Byakugan
"Hinata ......... sama........." Neji let out as he couldn't move his body anymore
"And you think such a weakling as yourself can stop me?" The man asked as he took a step towards them
Hinata was sweating as she tried to remain calm, but with each step the man took, the more nervous Hinata became.
"Judging by your reactions, you know you won't beat me, I could as well dispose of you both and rid of the main family from weaklings like yourselves." The man stated as he was only a meter away from the genins
Hinata took a deep breath, as she took the Hyuga Style Taijutsu stance and prepared herself physically and mentally.
"Nani?" the man let out in surprise
"True, I'm weak, but Neji-nisan is strong. But he is first of all my cousin, and I won't let you hurt him........." Hinata replied with a serious look
The man seemed utterly pissed off by her words, as he prepared to give her the beating of her life, when he felt a presence within the shadows.
The Hyuga stopped in his tracks, as he noticed they weren't alone anymore. The two genins didn't notice the shadow though, for Neji was almost unconscious and Hinata was still too nervous to detect anything at this point.
The Hyuga remained calm as he turned around and started to walk away, much to Hinata's surprise.
"This isn't over by a long shot" The man let out as he disappeared within the house
Hinata's knees were shaking as she feel on the ground next to Neji's body.
Her Byakugan disappeared as it took her several minutes to realize what she had actually done.
Neji coughed a bit which grabbed her attention quickly.
"Neji-nisan ........." Hinata mumbled as she looked at him with worried eyes
"Hinata-sama, you have changed a little ........." Neji managed to let out before the darkness covered his eyes
"Hinata saw Neji's eyes closed, as his breathing became slower. She placed her fingers against his throat to make sure he was breathing.
Hinata then sat back in relied to notice he had just lost consciousness due to the activation of the curse seal he bared.
Hinata thought carefully what she could do. She was well aware that bringing him back inside the house would be risky, as letting him stay here for the moment was too dangerous.
"Naruto-kun........." Hinata let out as a thought crossed her mind
She raised herself to her knees, as she carefully placed Neji's arm behind her neck, to grab it with her other hand, on the other side so he wouldn't fall behind or anything.
When she managed to stand up, the weight of Neji's body was heavier than she first thought, as her legs were shaking a bit from the extra weight. But she was determined to get him out of the estate for the night.
As she transported carefully, and slowly the unconscious Neji, they both disappeared within the shadows of the forest.
From within the house, Hinata's father came out from the shadows and into the light, as he gave out a little smile, while he watched his daughter and Neji leave.
"Perhaps, I misjudged you my daughter........." Her father let out as he returned inside the house
*END OF FLASHBACK*
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Kitchen*
Hinata continued to play with her fingers as she couldn't look into the eyes of the blond.
"Arigatou for telling me what happened Hinata-chan" Naruto spoke with a smile
"It ......... It was nothing .........Naruto-kun........." Hinata mumbled as she was even more nervous
"But why did you bring him here Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked out of curiosity
"Oh......... I know......... I know......... I know you and Neji-nisan are ......... close........." Hinata answered as she stared at the floor
Naruto was a bit shocked by the answer but a bit confused as well. He reached out to touch her hands to calm her down a little as she then looked into his eyes.
"How did you find......... that out?" Naruto managed to ask
Immediately Hinata looked at the floor, but slowly raised her head to face those blue eyes of the boy she always admired.
"Ever since you came back with Sasuke-kun, Neji's been smiling at the house, so I ........." Hinata mumbled as Naruto stopped her from saying more
"It's ok......... I'm sorry though ........." Naruto let out as Hinata's eyes shot open and widened
"For what.........?" Hinata asked
"Because I know you always liked me ........." Naruto managed to let out
"I ......... I don't mind ......... As long as both you and Neji-nisan are happy, I'll be happy too ......... Naruto-kun." Hinata answered as she stood up and started to leave the kitchen
Naruto jumped out of his seat as he blocked Hinata's way.
"I'm sure if you and Neji-nisan talk, things will go back like they use to between the two of you. Please take care of Neji-nisan for tonight!" Hinata told him as she managed to ran pass Naruto and leave the house
Naruto wanted to pursue the girl, but he knew that she mostly wanted to be left alone for now.
He closed the front door, as he made his way towards his bedroom, where Neji rested.
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Bedroom*
Naruto stepped inside the room, as he walked towards the bed to look at his lover.
Naruto sat on the bed as he gently caressed the boy's hair with a little smile, until Neji's eyes opened.
Neji pushed aside the hand of Naruto, as Neji managed to push the blond off the bed.
Naruto landed on the floor, as Neji jumped the opposite side with an angry expression.
Naruto stood up, to notice the bed stood between himself and Neji.
"Why the hell am I here?" Neji asked as his headache was still present from the curse
"Hinata-chan brought you here because of what happened" Naruto relied
"I'm leaving" Neji stated as he prepared to go
"Hold on a sec will you!? It's obvious you can't go there tonight after what happened so just stay here for tonight" Naruto let out to stop Neji form moving
"I'm not going back to the house but I have no intention of staying here either." Neji replied as he glared at the blond
"Why don't you want me to help you?" Naruto asked with a sad tone
"No one could understand the pain that bastard inflicted on me." Neji replied with a cold tone
"Then why don't you explain it to me!?" Naruto yelled out
"Don't you get it Uzumaki Naruto?" Neji started as he stared coldly at the boy
"Uzumaki ......... Naruto.........?" Naruto repeated in shock of the boy's tone of voice
"You've always had it easy didn't you? Always playing tricks on people, always smiling to everyone, having your friends, like that Uchiha Sasuke. You've led such a perfect life compared to what I had to endure because of this damn curse." Neji started as he pointed to his forehead
"That's ......... That's not true ........." Naruto mumbled as he stood there listening to every hurtful word his lover told him
"Everyone protect the main family but never cared about how we, the branch family felt about having ourselves cursed and under the control of the main family. In the end, it's them that decide when we live and die. Unlike you, we can never truly be free from that which binds us down. All these years you've only been a spoiled little brat!" Neji finished with an angry tone
Naruto's fingers twitched a little as he then started to walk towards Neji, who didn't move at all.
Naruto now was face to face with Neji, but his head still low to evade the hatred in the eyes of his lover.
Naruto gently raised his head as he looked straight into the eyes of Neji. His eyes filled with so much anger that Neji felt somewhat uncomfortable looking into them.
The next thing he knows, is Naruto suddenly punches him in the face, which increased his headache a lot.
Neji landed on the bed, as he sat up on it, rubbing his red cheek and to stare again into those angry blue eyes.
"What the hell was that for!?" Neji demanded as he looked up to the blond
"Shut up already........." Naruto let out
"Nani?" Neji said as his eyes widened
"Just shut the hell up! I'd rather have lived with a curse then go through what I've been through! From the moment I was born every adult looked at me with hatred and they simply ignored me throughout all my life to this day. I played pranks to get attention because I was always alone and I never knew why everyone hated me so much, but I didn't grow up having people care for me, I always ended up trying to survive like I could. Don't you get it, you're life is so great compared to mine and that's why I'd exchange your curse any time against me being the container of Kyubi!" Naruto yelled out when he covered his mouth with his hand
Both boy's eyes widened as Naruto started to take a few steps back to distant himself from his lover.
"That's ......... Impossible........." Neji let out in shock
The next thing Neji notices is Naruto's no longer within the room with him, as the front door to his apartment is slammed open.
Neji breathed hard to the information that had just been dumped on him by his former lover.
"Naruto, has Kyubi within him........." Neji let out as his neutral face changed into a worried and shocked one
============================================================================ ======================
*Outside the Apartment*
Naruto ran through the empty streets, where ever his legs would bring him to, as tears continued to fall from his eyes.
He never looked back to his apartment, all he wanted was to leave, when he bumped into someone.
Both of them fell hard to the ground, as Naruto looked behind him to apologize even though his vision was blurry and coulded.
"Gomen nasai" Naruto said as he stood up and continue to run never looking back
The person he bumped into had pink hair and stayed on the ground with a shocked expression.
"Naruto was crying.........? But why?" Sakura asked herself as she slowly stood to her feet
============================================================================ ======================
Finally done, I totally had no inspiration for this chapter so it took me 2 weeks to write it, so sorry about that. With school and work going on time is not something I have very much.
I'd been trying to write three new stories and update but time is not on my side lately. So hopefully you'll understand why I update late sometimes. Again sorry about that.
For the reviews, well the site seems to have a certain problem at the moment so I can't reply, so I'll do that in the next chapter. Hope you don't mind but keep up the reviews!!!
Next Chapter :
Sakura goes to Sasuke to tell him about the Naruto she encountered, as Neji reflects upon those words Naruto told him.

Hinata didn't have much strength left, as Naruto was the one to put Neji on his bed carefully.

"Neji-nisan got hurt because of the main family......... my family........." Hinata answered with a low tone
"You mean that a member of your family activated Neji's curse?" Naruto asked with surprise

*FLASHBACK*
-Hyuga Household-
There was a gathering at the Hyuga Estate, as more family members of the Main family came to visit in Konoha.
In the backyard of the estate, Neji continued his training while he ignored the unpleasant presence of the main family relatives that had come over.
From within the shadows of the tree, a shy Hinata hid as she only observed her cousin.
Neji had sense a while ago that Hinata had been watching him, but since Naruto's comment, he didn't have any grudge against her anymore, so he decided to simply ignore her for the moment being.
As Neji prepared to train his Byakugan to see how many birds hid in the trees, he sensed the presence of another person that stood not far from his own position.
"I was wondering where I would find a branch family member here." The man spoke as he leaned against the doorframe
Neji turned around to face this Hyuga, as he hid any emotions he had earlier.
"I'm surprised that the main family hasn't thrown you out yet" The Hyuga male said with a smile
"Me and Hinata-sama's father have an arrangement." Neji replied with a neutral tone
"I'm surprise to hear such a thing" The Hyuga stated
"Why is that?" Neji asked but he already knew the answer
"In those Chuunin Exams you almost killed Hinata." The man answered as he took a step towards the boy
"That was then, this is now" Neji simply replied
"Well at least Hinata's father made one good choice in his life, and that was to let you father be killed in his pace when you were younger. That is the only purpose for the branch family after all........." The man teased as he waited for a reaction
Neji's fist closed quickly, as his Byakugan appeared within his eyes to express the anger he felt upon hearing those words.
From within the shadows, Hinata noticed the anger and resentment in the air, as he started to bite her fingernails and continued to only watch.
Neji closed his eyes for a moment, as he forced himself to calm down, to then reopen them without his Byakagan.
"I have no interest in pursuing this conversation." Neji replied as he started to walk away
The Hyuga male was quite angry to this point and without a second thought, he charged towards Neji, fist first.
Hinata's eyes widened as she opened her mouth to warn her cousin, but no words came out.
Neji sensed this attack and immediately turned around to face his attacker.
Both fought in the style of Hyuga Style Taijutsu for several minutes, as Hinata could only watch and hope no one would get hurt.
After a few blocks, Neji finally managed to see an opening in his opponent, as he struck him directly in the chest.
The man gasped for some air, as he fell to his knees before the boy.
"If you engage me in battle, at least make sure you're as strong as Hinata's father. I'd advice you to leave me alone during your stay at this estate." Neji warned the man as he turned around and walked away
"You little bastard........." The male said as he rose to his feet
Neji stopped in his tracks, as his eyes focused on his side, waiting for the next move.
The man placed his hands together to perform a seal.
Upon seeing the seal, Hinata almost rushed out of the bushes to warn Neji, but her legs wouldn't move a bit.
"Juin Jutsu" The Hyuga said as he gave a smile
Neji's head turned around quickly, shocked by hearing those words, as he remembered the time Hinata's father had used it against his father.
Suddenly, Neji placed his hands on each side of his head, as he fell on the ground, experiencing an enormous amount of pain in his head.
Neji's vision started to blur, as the man never let his hands separate to torture the poor boy.
To this point, Neji fell completely on the ground as he found himself staring at the black sky.
The Hyuga approached the boy as he started to kick him in the ribs.
Although Neji felt a lot a pain, he wasn't able to move because of the curse. His hands started to loosened on his head, as both hands hit the ground.
The man was about to kick Neji straight in the head, when someone tackled him, putting him a few meters away from Neji.
Neji tried to focus his eyes to see who had interfered, as the figure standing next to him looked familiar.
"Stay away from Neji-nisan" Hinata warned the man as she activated her Byakugan
"Hinata ......... sama........." Neji let out as he couldn't move his body anymore
"And you think such a weakling as yourself can stop me?" The man asked as he took a step towards them
Hinata was sweating as she tried to remain calm, but with each step the man took, the more nervous Hinata became.
"Judging by your reactions, you know you won't beat me, I could as well dispose of you both and rid of the main family from weaklings like yourselves." The man stated as he was only a meter away from the genins
Hinata took a deep breath, as she took the Hyuga Style Taijutsu stance and prepared herself physically and mentally.
"Nani?" the man let out in surprise
"True, I'm weak, but Neji-nisan is strong. But he is first of all my cousin, and I won't let you hurt him........." Hinata replied with a serious look
The man seemed utterly pissed off by her words, as he prepared to give her the beating of her life, when he felt a presence within the shadows.
The Hyuga stopped in his tracks, as he noticed they weren't alone anymore. The two genins didn't notice the shadow though, for Neji was almost unconscious and Hinata was still too nervous to detect anything at this point.
The Hyuga remained calm as he turned around and started to walk away, much to Hinata's surprise.
"This isn't over by a long shot" The man let out as he disappeared within the house
Hinata's knees were shaking as she feel on the ground next to Neji's body.
Her Byakugan disappeared as it took her several minutes to realize what she had actually done.
Neji coughed a bit which grabbed her attention quickly.
"Neji-nisan ........." Hinata mumbled as she looked at him with worried eyes
"Hinata-sama, you have changed a little ........." Neji managed to let out before the darkness covered his eyes
"Hinata saw Neji's eyes closed, as his breathing became slower. She placed her fingers against his throat to make sure he was breathing.
Hinata then sat back in relied to notice he had just lost consciousness due to the activation of the curse seal he bared.
Hinata thought carefully what she could do. She was well aware that bringing him back inside the house would be risky, as letting him stay here for the moment was too dangerous.
"Naruto-kun........." Hinata let out as a thought crossed her mind
She raised herself to her knees, as she carefully placed Neji's arm behind her neck, to grab it with her other hand, on the other side so he wouldn't fall behind or anything.
When she managed to stand up, the weight of Neji's body was heavier than she first thought, as her legs were shaking a bit from the extra weight. But she was determined to get him out of the estate for the night.
As she transported carefully, and slowly the unconscious Neji, they both disappeared within the shadows of the forest.
From within the house, Hinata's father came out from the shadows and into the light, as he gave out a little smile, while he watched his daughter and Neji leave.
"Perhaps, I misjudged you my daughter........." Her father let out as he returned inside the house
*END OF FLASHBACK*
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Kitchen*
Hinata continued to play with her fingers as she couldn't look into the eyes of the blond.
"Arigatou for telling me what happened Hinata-chan" Naruto spoke with a smile
"It ......... It was nothing .........Naruto-kun........." Hinata mumbled as she was even more nervous
"But why did you bring him here Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked out of curiosity
"Oh......... I know......... I know......... I know you and Neji-nisan are ......... close........." Hinata answered as she stared at the floor
Naruto was a bit shocked by the answer but a bit confused as well. He reached out to touch her hands to calm her down a little as she then looked into his eyes.
"How did you find......... that out?" Naruto managed to ask
Immediately Hinata looked at the floor, but slowly raised her head to face those blue eyes of the boy she always admired.
"Ever since you came back with Sasuke-kun, Neji's been smiling at the house, so I ........." Hinata mumbled as Naruto stopped her from saying more
"It's ok......... I'm sorry though ........." Naruto let out as Hinata's eyes shot open and widened
"For what.........?" Hinata asked
"Because I know you always liked me ........." Naruto managed to let out
"I ......... I don't mind ......... As long as both you and Neji-nisan are happy, I'll be happy too ......... Naruto-kun." Hinata answered as she stood up and started to leave the kitchen
Naruto jumped out of his seat as he blocked Hinata's way.
"I'm sure if you and Neji-nisan talk, things will go back like they use to between the two of you. Please take care of Neji-nisan for tonight!" Hinata told him as she managed to ran pass Naruto and leave the house
Naruto wanted to pursue the girl, but he knew that she mostly wanted to be left alone for now.
He closed the front door, as he made his way towards his bedroom, where Neji rested.
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Bedroom*
Naruto stepped inside the room, as he walked towards the bed to look at his lover.
Naruto sat on the bed as he gently caressed the boy's hair with a little smile, until Neji's eyes opened.
Neji pushed aside the hand of Naruto, as Neji managed to push the blond off the bed.
Naruto landed on the floor, as Neji jumped the opposite side with an angry expression.
Naruto stood up, to notice the bed stood between himself and Neji.
"Why the hell am I here?" Neji asked as his headache was still present from the curse
"Hinata-chan brought you here because of what happened" Naruto relied
"I'm leaving" Neji stated as he prepared to go
"Hold on a sec will you!? It's obvious you can't go there tonight after what happened so just stay here for tonight" Naruto let out to stop Neji form moving
"I'm not going back to the house but I have no intention of staying here either." Neji replied as he glared at the blond
"Why don't you want me to help you?" Naruto asked with a sad tone
"No one could understand the pain that bastard inflicted on me." Neji replied with a cold tone
"Then why don't you explain it to me!?" Naruto yelled out
"Don't you get it Uzumaki Naruto?" Neji started as he stared coldly at the boy
"Uzumaki ......... Naruto.........?" Naruto repeated in shock of the boy's tone of voice
"You've always had it easy didn't you? Always playing tricks on people, always smiling to everyone, having your friends, like that Uchiha Sasuke. You've led such a perfect life compared to what I had to endure because of this damn curse." Neji started as he pointed to his forehead
"That's ......... That's not true ........." Naruto mumbled as he stood there listening to every hurtful word his lover told him
"Everyone protect the main family but never cared about how we, the branch family felt about having ourselves cursed and under the control of the main family. In the end, it's them that decide when we live and die. Unlike you, we can never truly be free from that which binds us down. All these years you've only been a spoiled little brat!" Neji finished with an angry tone
Naruto's fingers twitched a little as he then started to walk towards Neji, who didn't move at all.
Naruto now was face to face with Neji, but his head still low to evade the hatred in the eyes of his lover.
Naruto gently raised his head as he looked straight into the eyes of Neji. His eyes filled with so much anger that Neji felt somewhat uncomfortable looking into them.
The next thing he knows, is Naruto suddenly punches him in the face, which increased his headache a lot.
Neji landed on the bed, as he sat up on it, rubbing his red cheek and to stare again into those angry blue eyes.
"What the hell was that for!?" Neji demanded as he looked up to the blond
"Shut up already........." Naruto let out
"Nani?" Neji said as his eyes widened
"Just shut the hell up! I'd rather have lived with a curse then go through what I've been through! From the moment I was born every adult looked at me with hatred and they simply ignored me throughout all my life to this day. I played pranks to get attention because I was always alone and I never knew why everyone hated me so much, but I didn't grow up having people care for me, I always ended up trying to survive like I could. Don't you get it, you're life is so great compared to mine and that's why I'd exchange your curse any time against me being the container of Kyubi!" Naruto yelled out when he covered his mouth with his hand
Both boy's eyes widened as Naruto started to take a few steps back to distant himself from his lover.
"That's ......... Impossible........." Neji let out in shock
The next thing Neji notices is Naruto's no longer within the room with him, as the front door to his apartment is slammed open.
Neji breathed hard to the information that had just been dumped on him by his former lover.
"Naruto, has Kyubi within him........." Neji let out as his neutral face changed into a worried and shocked one
============================================================================ ======================
*Outside the Apartment*
Naruto ran through the empty streets, where ever his legs would bring him to, as tears continued to fall from his eyes.
He never looked back to his apartment, all he wanted was to leave, when he bumped into someone.
Both of them fell hard to the ground, as Naruto looked behind him to apologize even though his vision was blurry and coulded.
"Gomen nasai" Naruto said as he stood up and continue to run never looking back
The person he bumped into had pink hair and stayed on the ground with a shocked expression.
"Naruto was crying.........? But why?" Sakura asked herself as she slowly stood to her feet
============================================================================ ======================
Finally done, I totally had no inspiration for this chapter so it took me 2 weeks to write it, so sorry about that. With school and work going on time is not something I have very much.
I'd been trying to write three new stories and update but time is not on my side lately. So hopefully you'll understand why I update late sometimes. Again sorry about that.
For the reviews, well the site seems to have a certain problem at the moment so I can't reply, so I'll do that in the next chapter. Hope you don't mind but keep up the reviews!!!
Next Chapter :
Sakura goes to Sasuke to tell him about the Naruto she encountered, as Neji reflects upon those words Naruto told him.
READ AND REVIEWS PEOPLE!!!!
Thank You
