'thinking'
Chapter 2: Appearances Can Be Deceiving
Neji inwardly sighed as he watched the people standing around the open field. Trees surrounded the field and just across it was a training ground. He stood next to his mother his face giving no indication as to his boredom. He would give anything to just be out in the field a little ways away training but his mother had insisted he come. It had been a week since the news of the deaths of there Suzume counter parts. Even though he had not seen them...or her for over 8 years he still felt a pain deep within himself that just would not go away. He however just pushed it aside and kept going. Neji looked over at Hyuga-sama and his daughters.
'All ready for the arrival' he thought. Hinata-sama did not look to well. Her eyes were all puffy and fatigue hung over her like a bad omen.
She must have gotten the news of Amaya-sama. Neji felt another burst of emotions try to escape but showed no sign of distress. He just crammed it back down inside. Hinata and Amaya-sama were good close friends. Where ever Amaya was Hinata was sure to follow. She had always looked up to Amaya-sama but now...Neji's thought trailed off as his attention was attracted towards the people rapidly approaching the area. The Suzume family was a prominent family of Konoha very big and wealthy to boot.
Neji's eyes furrowed in disgust as he saw the man in the front of the group. He was tall; being Neji only came up to his shoulder at best. His dark brown hair was slicked back and just came around his shoulders. His clothes told all that he was an important man being they were a fine blue silk with golden trimmings. His eyes were a dark ominous black that a person could get lost in, not in a good way thou. Taro Suzume. Beside him was a young girl about Neji's age with lighter hair her eyes a dark brown. She also was where a fine blue silk kimono with a big gold bow tied in the back.
'His daughter I presume'. His eyes traveled to behind the pair. Right behind them was a cloaked figure.
'Probably bodyguard' thought Neji. The other who followed suit was fewer than expected.
'No branch family members were left' he thought. His eyes narrowed even more.
His mother noticed his disgusted look and nudged him in the ribs with her elbow. He looked down at her. She shook her finger menacingly at him. Neji would have chuckled at her attempt at intimidation if it were not for the movement he caught at the corner of his eye. The cloaked figure was gone and moving around the perimeter. He resumed his attention to the group paying no more then a second glance to the bodyguard. He put more energy at trying to stay calm around Taro Suzume.
Taro brushed past Neji and his mother without as much as a glance. Neji let out a breath that he did not realize he was holding in.
"Hyuga-sama!" Taro greeted. Hyuga-sama put on a fake smile and gave a deep respectable bow to him.
Neji absent mindedly ground his teeth at the mans annoying voice. The thought of having his hands around his throat made Neji almost lose is stoic demure.
He was about to lead his mother back to the house when he sensed something. Quickly he turned around to see two cloaked figures jump out of the woods and take off towards where Hyuga-sama and Suzume-sama stood. Both men turned around to see the dark green-cloaked figures rush at them. Suzume grabbed his daughter and forced her behind him. He looked up with a smirk just as another cloaked figure in a puff of smoke appeared in front of them.
The attackers where thrown off guard as the bodyguard lunged at them sending the first careening to the ground with a spinning back kick. The other with a back fist to the head. The attackers stumbled to there feet as the bodyguard landed gracefully a few meters away.
Neji looked at the bodyguard; he could not make out his face because it was hidden in the shadow of his hood. He was small in comparison to the attackers. 'He probable would only come up to my shoulder' thought Neji. "What the hell is Suzume thinking?" Neji said between clenched teeth. He then unconsciously moved closer to his shook up mother as he looked on.
The two attackers smirked as they looked at the lone bodyguard.
"So Suzume you have one bodyguard with you" smirked the one with dark hair and a scar that ran from his jaw all the way up to his temple.
"Ones all I need," sneered Taro. The blacked cloaked figure stood quietly in between the two bickering men.
Just then, four more green-cloaked figures emerged from the bush behind their comrades.
"Hear that boys, just one" scoffed the scared man again.
The bodyguard stood unmoving facing the enemy, head lowered so his face was hid by shadow.
One of the green clad men walked towards him cracking his knuckles.
"Can I play with this one?" he asked. When he got his nod of approval, he lunged at the bodyguard. He swung his arm out to land a punch when in an instant the black cloaked figure was gone. His hand had hit nothing but air. He looked around menacingly to see any trace of his prey.
"Above you!" yelled one of his comrades but it was too late. He looked up just in time to see the bottom of a muddy boot before it slammed into his face. The man was thrown back but not before the dark figure crouched, down and swung his leg-landing square in the enemy's stomach sending him flying. The dark figure stood up calmly having turned to the side and looked straight at the ground as if nothing had happened.
The other enemies looked at there fallen comrade before one of then helped him to his feet.
He panted a little as he spoke, "He looks like a scrawny twig but" he spit out blood, "he's a lot tougher than he seems. We should all attack together were wasting time". He then looked over at the dark haired man.
"Ey, I agree".
The six shinobies then got into fighting stances surrounding the protector.
"Six against one" scoffed Neji his eyebrows narrowed in disgust. "Damn it, where is the Hokage or Anbu or even Jounins." He said angrily. Neji looked back at his mother. 'I cannot leave her by her self, damn it.' He then turned his attention back to the seen that was before him.
Well it is sort of a cliffhanger eh? ^__^ Well please read and review to tell me if I should keep up with this story.
