Incest is bad. Unless you're a ninja. No, no! I'm just kiddning! I always hated NejiXHinata fics.

'till I read one.

It was funny and sweet, and because Hinata is my favorite character in the whole series, very satisfying.

But I still won't write a NejiXHinata fic. I will, however, write a Neji/Hinata FRENDSHIP fic. And that's what this is.

Also, I know, I know, In Japan when a boy and a girl sit under the same umbrella it means that they're dating, I know! But, because Naruto does NOT take place in Japan, but in some alternate universe, I'm gonna use that loop hole and some of my Poetic license points, of witch I have only used twice, counting now, and make you all forget I ever said that. In this chapter, at least, Neji and Hinata are NOT dating.

But, on a more important note:

Have you read Harry potter and the half blood prince yet?

You haven't?

Freak.

BTW, this is also post-chunin exam and pre-save Sasuke.

"Well, a thousand scattered pictures laying on my bedroom floor,

reminds me of the times we shared,

makes me wish that you where here,

and now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life..." -Scattered, By Greenday

The Hyuuga estate was enormous. It had four ten-foot walls surrounding it. The walls had only one door, for both branch and main families. The door closed for the next six hours after ten PM, a security measure that never worked, but always managed to piss someone off.

"Damn Gai-sensei." Hyuuga Neji mumbled from the outside of the wall. His time-keeper read twelve of eleven, "This could not get any worse!"

Because the world is not only ruled by physics, but Irony too, it began to rain.

Neji's flamboyant curses where drowned out by the splashes of many puddles.

"N-Neji-nii-san?" said a very quiet voice behind him.

"WHAT, HINATA-SAMA!" Neji yelled.

"eep!" Hinata fell backwards. She had always been easy to surprise.

"Ahh! Sorry!" Neji helped her up. She was now soaked. She had fallen into a puddle and dropped her pink umbrella.

"Neji-nii-san, a-are you locked out too?" Hinata held her umbrella over the both of them.

"Yeah. Gai-sensei kept us training late."

"Oh." The Hyuuga heir nodded.

"Why are you out late?" Neji thought for a moment, "Where you stalking Uzumaki-san again?"

"N-no!" But the blush on her face told Neji differently.

"You know, you're from the main family, you could probably get past the guards." Neji scooted a little closer to Hinata because rain was splashing on his nose.

Hinata shook her head, as to say she had already tried. Neji sighed. Another sign of how her own father had abandoned her.

Neji looked to the shivering Hinata. She didn't say anything, but she wasn't wearing her coat today. She must have been freezing.

Neji unbuttoned his coat and placed it on the shivering girl's shoulders.

Hinata freaked, "N-no! Neji-nii-san! You'll freeze!"

Neji used his Branch-house-excuse, "I'm a branch house member. It's my job to protect the main house. You are gonna get ammonia soon, so It's my job to make sure you don't."

"N-no! Neji-nii-san, I-"

"And I'm holding that damn umbrella!" Neji took it from her very gently for someone pretending to be angry, "you get shivering and shaking the thing! I'm getting all wet!"

"S-sorry, Neji-nii-san." Hinata said, deflated.

Neji stifled. Had he been too hard on her? He was just joking. But, of course, last year he had almost killed her. Sure, Uzumaki-san had killed him back, which was embarrassing and a retribution, but Hinata had still suffered.

Neji thought silently to himself, 'is she still afraid of me? Wait, of course she is! I almost killed her! She almost died! And here I am still talking about the main and branch families.'

"Hinata-sama, I-"

"Oi! Oi!" Inuzuka Kiba came running out of the near by forest, a red umbrella in hand. "Hinata-chan! K-" Kiba slipped and fell on his face.

"Ah! Kiba-kun!" Hinata ran over to help him up.

"Ehh...oops!" Kiba stood, hiding Hinata under his umbrella, "K-Kurenai-sensei saw you in the rain. You got locked outta the estate again, huh?"

Hinata nodded.

"Well, Shino sent me." Kiba nodded in triumph "He says you can stay the night at his house if you want."

"O-oh!" Hinata looked surprised.

"And- ...who's that?" Kiba looked up, pointing.

"Neji-nii-san." Hinata answered.

"You mean that bastard who" Kiba took off running towards Neji, his fist ready, leaving Hinata with his umbrella, "you fought at the Chunin exam?"

Neji stepped backwards and snapped Hinata's umbrella closed. Using it like a sword, he slipped it under Kiba's legs, causing him to fall into a particularly large puddle. Neji then placed the umbrella in Hinata's hands and walked away.

"N-Neji-nii-san-!" Hinata yelled after him, but Neji was already gone.

Neji, about thirteen yards away by now, was traveling in the direction of Lee's house. Neji could stay at Lee's until it stopped raining.

Though, for all of that, he felt ashamed. He had forgotten what he had done to Hinata, even when she herself could not.

He did not deserve her forgiveness.

So he walked away.

…oooooooh…

This one wasn't as happy as the last two. Sorry. I'm having a lot of fun writing this fic! Whaaaa! This fic needs more reviews, though! It only has four! This makes me sad. But I shall not whine any longer! No! I'll just reread Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I finished it in 34 hours! W00t!

(walks away, dizzy)

Review or Neji will burp the alphabet! I've seen him do it, I know he will!
