Expect Shino to be OOC. Sorry.
Neji awoke from his slumber, looking up at the night sky from inside his shelter. It was not yet night fall and the sun hurt his eyes. He blinked and drew his face away from the blinding sunlight. He held his hand out in front of his eyes, and then outward as if waving good bye to the sun. He let its warm rays caress his fingers one last time before he allowed himself to acknowledge that he'd never see it again.
He waited until the sun had set completely before standing up. His body no longer hurt, but his neck was still sore from the bite. He was hungry, and he knew that normal food that he used to eat would not fulfill it. However, he could not bring himself to bite and kill another person. He would not, for the sake of himself. God would forgive him for the sins he had committed, some way he'd find redemption. This was only some thing he'd have to deal with until god truly forgave him.
He smirked. He didn't even believe that. He got bit because a sadistic person stole his best friend from him and he would risk the painful immortality to rescue her.
He could not go back to his home town, people knew him there. They would see the difference. There was nothing for him there. So he went to the next town. He shivered in the cold as he walked North West to Konoha. It was a relatively big city, he would be able to blend in there.
After about an hour and a half of walking, he found himself in a bar on the outskirts of Konoha. Neji sat at the front counter, making himself small and drinking cheap ale.
"She left me, Shino," a boy a bit younger than Neji said to his fried. "After three months, she actually caught on," he sighed, and took a swig of beer.
The boy next to him nodded, "Did you even like her?" Shino inquired.
"Of course I did! She made the best waffles ever, and the way she acted when she was gypped up on alcohol... No I couldn't stand the bitch, but she did make really good waffles,"
"Then just find a new person who doesn't know," Shino said, and daringly took a long drink from the bottle and set it down with a loud thud, "With your condition, people have to wait a while to find out, when you're away on the full moon every month and you can talk with dogs, it still takes some adding together." Shino said slowly, "With me, however, just because I am the heir to the Aburame kingdom, people shun me away. They know automatically what I am,"
"Hinata knew about both of us," Kiba sighed, "And she still remained loyal to us. At least we thought. But four years with out seeing her... she's just as much of a bitch as any other girl we've ever met,"
"Pardon me, I don't mean to interrupt, but did you mean Hyuuga Hinata?" Neji cut in. Kiba and Shino nodded, not simultaneously but close to it. Neji's eyes narrowed in anger,
"She is not a bitch! She's my fiancée, four years ago she was bitten by a vampire and only heaven knows what that Tzimice has done to her! She has a problem worse than both of yours!" he shouted.
"And let me guess, the vampire bit you too?" Shino asked. Neji nodded with a single bow of his head angrily.
"Kiba is a were-wolf, he was bitten in attempt to save his girlfriend, and then after Kiba got out of intensive care, and explained what he was to her, she left him." Shino said, "Don't complain when you don't have it as bad."
The three were silent for a while. "So you're a Tzimice?" Kiba asked. Neji nodded, not looking up at the werewolf.
"You don't seem evil, I doubt you are actually a Tzimice." Shino told him. Neji shrugged,
"It feels so much different, I can smell the blood of people... I want to rip at their throats... but I know I shouldn't. I know I can't. Hinata would never forgive me..." he sighed and took a gulp of ale.
"My father finally showed me the girl they've chosen to be my wife," Shino said randomly. It probably wasn't random in his head due to his particular train of thought.
"Oh? What's she look like?" Kiba asked.
"She's an Aburame." Shino said.
"Yeah... but what does she look like?" Kiba asked again.
"I don't understand why my father wants me to marry a 13 year old girl... that's statutory rape,"
Kiba sighed impatiently, "Okay she's four years younger than you... but what does she look like?"
"Thin, pale. Eyes like mine,"
"I've never seen your eyes Shino,"
"Oh. Well anyways, she has eyes like mine and really long fingernails. An inch and a half long."
Kiba turned to Neji, "It's amazing, he has a girl who is probably a total babe and he pays attention to her finger nails..."
"I wouldn't call her 'a total babe' but she was pretty in her own way," Shino said.
"I wanna' meet her." Kiba announced.
"Okay. She's staying with my father," Shino stood up, took the last of his ale and walked away. Kiba did the same, and then leaned in to Shino whispering something. Shino nodded.
"You are coming too, Tzimice," Shino told him. Neji eyed him suspiciously.
"Would you rather sleep here tomorrow or would you rather sleep at my fathers house where blood will not tempt you?"
Neji stood up and followed them. "Thank you for your hospitality." He muttered.
