Chapter Two: Cold
Summary: We find out the true feelings of Neji and Naruto. Out of my opp its a really good chapter.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hinatas limp body shuddered in Narutos arms.
"Hinata-chan...Hinata...?" Naruto looked down at her pale face, her lips where quivering.
(Naruto's Inner thoughts: damn it not now, what should I do...She doesn't look that well, argh...I've got no choice, I'll have to take her to the old hag )
Naruto gentlly shifted Hinatas body and got up. His first steps wavered as he began to accustom himself with his new weight.
With his new mission, he quickly carried her back into their village...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the village...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A tall well built figure stepped out from the shadows of the dark buildings, his long hair swayed behind his back.
He's presence made Naruto stop in his steps.
The figure walked slowly to the two, then promply stopped and faced Naruto. His eyes bored into Narutos consicence
(Naruto inner thoughts: Damnit this ain't a good time Neji)
" heh, Why aren't you at your post?" Neji's eyes narrowed down to Hinata's body.
"Neji, get out of my way, Hinata needs Tsuanade now!" Naruto ignores Neji's intrusion and walks past him.
"Stop Naruto, where do you think your taking her?" His voice rang through the cold nights air.
Naruto paused, and turn around to face Neji.
" It's all your fault! " Naruto flung an arm out and pointed accusingly at Neji. **but one thing he forgot was Hinata lol**
dO.Ob --- Naruto's face went blank
"Crap!" Hinatas liveless body slipped from Narutos hold... Her body reached for the ground...
A sudden flash appeared infront of Naruto, Just a little one, if he blinked he wouldn't of seen it, Naruto wished he hadn't seen
Neji's face, It wasn't his normal cold expression, but for a mere second Naruto saw anger, love and pain. A jealous feeling covered Naruto's
thoughts.
In no time Neji stood carrying Hinata in his arms. Naruto was speechless...
(Narutos inner thoughts, that bastard .)
" I am her protector, it is not your place to interfere with The Hyuuga families ruling" Neji smirked at Naruto," It would be wise for you to stay
away from her. Soon she would be taken..." (Neji had known since the chuunin exams that Hinata loved Naruto)
The emotion that Naruto saw on Nejis pale face was gone, it was one of emptyness.
Hinata stirred in Neji's arms, her soft mutter broke the stance that had formed between the two men.
Naruto clenched his fist.
"Neji, take her to Tsunade"
"No she will be returned to the Hyuuga residence"
"Tsunade is the best medicinal ninja around."
"Hinata is returning to the residence, it is an order"
Naruto couldn't hold back his anger, he emotions spat at Neji...
"Neji, it's your fault she is always sick. Tsunade has even said she won't ever get better! HAVE YOU even thought about what you toke from
Hinata. That day in the Chuunin exams was the day she lost her FREEDOM!"
Neji's heart clenched tight to Narutos harsh words...but no matter how much Neji wished to not believe it, in the end these words were true ...
Neji's white eyes closed and slowly opened, a sorrowful emptyness erupted from his face, instead of a cold one it was now one of grief and hate.
Neji looked down at Hinatas face. Small droplets of water splattered on her cheeks. A shaky voice started...
" Yes, I toke her freedom and I stole the happiness in her life, I was selfish, I had blame her for everything that was wrong in my life. That day I had
intended to kill her. I loved her even though I resented her. I know what I did has cost her."
Silence stood between the two men... the night was swallowing them in.
Naruto was stunned, he never expected such a confession from Neji ...
Then Neji broke the silence, a small smile on his face whispered
"That is why I have asked her hand in marriage..."
