" Bent "
He was staring at the window. More specifically at her. She was sparring with her sister Hanabi. She is training very hard, he thought, but she will give up and then she will cry. She did that always. But this day was different. He notice something in her eyes that surprise him very much. Her eyes, didn't express fear or sadness like always, they were angry and very focus on Hanabi. She didn't stop, she didn't gave up. Instead, she hit her sister with too much force, that Hanabi fall down, losing the fight. Neji was very amazed. He had never seen Hinata with such attitude before. She was furious and she didn't show any emotion of fear or weakness. She looked very imponent.
Hanabi was also very surprised, her sister never won a fight with her, but now, she won, she defeat her. With that Hanabi left leaving Hinata alone.
She bent and not break
Neji, at seeing this, remember many things. One of them was the fight in the chuunin exams with her. She also never gave up, although she was very weak. Neji never imagined that Hinata was persistent. He thought that Naruto was giving her much force to face him. When she was fighting with him she showed her true force inside of her. Her power of believing in someone, and that someone, Naruto, was gaving her too much power and confidence to her. Although she lost that fight she always standed up.
She bent and not break.
I thought that you were weak and very fragile. But now, I know that you are very strong. You had changed too much since the fight that I have with you. I always believed in destiny but when I lost to Naruto, my ideas changed too much. Now I understand you. I understand how you feel. You thought that you were weak because all people said that to you. But when Naruto gave you support on that fight, you fight and believe in you. You didn't gave up.
You bent and not break
"Hinata sama" Neji whispered. "Neji kun, hi" Hinata said with a smile. " I saw you fighting with Hanabi" he started. "Yes, I know. I also saw you staring at me" she said looking at the sky. Neji only stared at her intently. She was seeing the moon. Her eyes were happy, and her face was drawing a big smile.
"Hinata sama, I don't know what to say. I'm very surprised because of your strenght. When you were fighting, I remembered the fight that I had with you, and I realized your true internal force. Not physically, but emotionally. You had always keep going although what others say about you. I never saw you like a worth member of the Main Family. But now, I had changed my ideas about you." Neji paused. "What I'm trying to say, is that I'm very sorry of how I treat you on the chunnin exams, and that now, I'm very proud of you, Hinata sama" he said looking at her. Hinata saw the honesty in his eyes and looked back at the moon. "Thank you, Neji kun. This is what I had always wished to hear." Hinata said giving him a big smile. " And, I am proud of you also, Neji kun" she said.
Both of them said anything all the night. They only stared at the moon with happy faces.
The end
