e v a n e s c e n t -- A neijixhinata fanfiction
Slight AU, neijixhinata, hinataPOV...
Memai's Notes: This is my first fanfiction! Waah, I hope you guys'll like it... it'll be a couple of chapters long. Criticism is openly welcome, but all flames will be fed to Kimimaro for lunch(c'mere, Kimi-chan...).
The hall was so dark. My feet, sticky from sweat, barely made a sound as a I walked across the wooden floors. I shivered a bit-- I was cold in the large Hyuuga manor at night and I wasn't wearing very thick clothing. I looked up at the ceiling, watching the shadows of objects looming over me. I don't know how long it's been since I've walked this corridor, but I know I have ventured into here countless numbers of times. But no matter how many times I come here, it always scares me. I just feel like... like someone is watching me, constantly.
I wanted to get it over with, my goal was at the end of this hallway-- the training room. I broke into a run, my feet now making loud but muffled sounds against the floor. I stopped to catch my breath, leaning onto the wall for support. And there it was again-- the eerie feeling that you get sometimes that someone is watching you.
I whirled around and peered down another hallway to my right.... and there he was.
"... N-Neiji?..." I whispered breathlessly into the cold night air. His eyes were a misty white like a dreary fog, and they seemed to glow in the darkness. He was pressed against the wall... staring... staring at... me.
His eyebrows lowered and I could barely make out a scowl.
"Neiji...?" I repeated. "Neiji, are you there?"
I reached out to touch him. Nothing. Just like that... he was gone. I couldn't believe it. I solomnly withdrew my hand and stared down the hallway for which seemed like hours, but were only seconds. I then clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms, and resumed to run across the hallway.
As I dissapeared into the inky black atmosphere, I had no idea he was still there... watching me... watching me run into the darkness.
