- Neji POV-

Ones after the others, I mark the days on the calendar on the wall. I still didn't see Hinata again. I sought her many time in the streets during my patrols without never managing to find her. What does she do? Where is she? I miss you so much, Hinata.

Today, I didn't see Hinata anywhere and I return at home the evening, alone. Just when I'm in my bath, I hear a short ring sounds at my door. I grab my bath-robe in haste and I go to open.

Neji: "Hinata!"

She's here, right here in front of my door, twisting her hands. I detail her with a quick glance, and my heart tighten. She lost weight, her face is slim and black rings lead her eyes. Sadness can be read in her glance and her attitude.

Neji: "Hinata... enter. The living room is just here. "

She advances in the apartment with hesitant step. Under the light of the corridor, I finally notice her unusual clothing . A split black skirt and a top letting appear the fine lace of her undergarment below. Seeing her with this kind of clothes is strange. I guide her to the living room, I make her sit and bring a cup of tea to her. she still don't say a word.

Neji: " Hinata, how are you? "

Hinata: "F... fine . I have... a good work."

Neji: "I'm glad to see you, I sought you without never seeing you..."

Hinata: "I work ...during the night... and often outside."

Neji: "You do missions outside the village? They aren't too dangerous?"

Hinata: "N-no.. It's not a very dangerous work too... I seldom need to fight."

Neji: "You're rather a spy?"

Hinata: "Yes, Yes it's that."

A constrained silence settles. I don't dare to evoke the subject of the Hyuga family. Now that I see her, I understand that she suffered much from it and that she still suffers. I think that she has something to say to me, but that she doesn't dare to speak. I must make her enough in confidence to speak. If she leaves without having said what she wants to say to me, I am not sure that she will go to see me a second time.

Neji: "You remember, Hinata? I said to you that I would always be here for you. You can rely on me. No matter what happened, I will help you and I will support you. Say me what worries you, Hinata."

She looks at me with an anxious face and she ends up saying with a very small voice: "Neji... I... I am pregnant."

Neji: "What?"

Under the surprise, I stand in a jump causing a movement of retreat of her. Hinata... my small Hinata... it's not possible! She's... so pure, so nice... As she still moves back, frightened, I catch her by the shoulders and I ask her with force: "It's who? How did it happen? Tell me!"

Hinata lowers her head: "I... I don't know who... I... I'm in the Night brigade."

The Night brigade, this word makes me shiver. I know this brigade, it's one of the masked brigades of our Village, one of the brigade in which the identity of the members aren't known publicly. But contrary to the prestigious Anbus, the members of Night never appear in public sight nor in the official ceremonies of the village. They are never seen. Because the Night brigade is the brigade of the prostitutes and the courtiers, the men and the women who use their charm and their body in the missions. They are often infiltrated in the strategic brothels, the royal palaces, the harems. Spy, information, moral weakening of the enemies... Although their work is essential, we never speaks about them.

Neji: "You... you... you are... in the Night brigade?"

Hinata: "Y... yes. Normally, we takes drugs for not being... but that didn't work on me... and I don't know who..."

Upset by this news, I hug Hinata against me with force. Hinata, my poor small Hinata... in this hard brigade, with difficult work... obliged to offer her body... I tremble of dislike to this idea. She feels it. She makes slip her arms on my side to hug and caress gently my back. The soft contact of her hands makes me quiver.

Hinata: "Don't worry... I'm fine. All is fine. It's not a so horrible work, and the other members of the brigade are very nice with me. We are a very welded brigade "

She raises her eyes towards me and smiles. She tries to reassure me. She is always so sensitive to the feelings of others, understanding them with only one glance and always finding the right mean to answer when timidity doesn't paralyse her.

Neji: "But Hinata, you who are so shy..."

Hinata: "It's fine... because we wear a mask. I am not afraid anymore by the glance of the others when I wear my mask. And when I... work... I am... somebody of other. Make up, disguised, often transformed... it doesn't frighten me."

I continue to tighten her against me, as to keep her safe from this hard world. Her hands which cherishes me with tenderness and her body pressed against mine starts to wake up other fires inside me and I let her go quickly not to yield. Hinata step aside a little without seeming disturbed by my reaction. It's right, she must know how to control this kind of situation.

Neji: "I... I... hm... the baby... is ... for when?"

Hinata: " February, the doctor thinks."

Thus since... 3 months. I don't know well biology, but I know that she will have to stop working someday. Can she still do a work of seduction with a huge belly? Then she will be without resources... and if ever she faints, or feel bad?

Neji: " Hinata... listen... hmm... come to live here. I have some free place. I'll install you a room."

Hinata: "Neji... I..."

Neji: "You came here because you needed assistance, or no? All alone, it's too dangerous. I prefer to have you close to me to take care of you, Hinata."

Hinata: "Neji.. Oh Neji, thank you."

I see her smiling with heat, relieved, reassured and that charms me. Suddenly, she jumps to my neck! Surprised, I butt against the settee behind me when I try to find my balance. We fall both on the settee, the small body of Hinata leaned on mine. I can see her breast sheathed with black lace by the opening of her small top just above me... and her white thigh leaving her narrow skirt... just near my hand.

Whereas my confused spirit wonders whether she does it intentionally, her lips starting to caress mine bring me the answer. She wants to... I try to push her back: "Hinata.. we can't... we are of the same family..."

Her white eyes hang mine abruptly, I see like a flame which vibrates in her glance when she answers me firmly: "No. We aren't in the same family. I am not Hyuga. I am Mau."

Her family disavowed her. She disavowed her family. Normal... But it doesn't arrange my business... to tell the true, yes, it arrange but ... I don't know anymore... I fought against my desire for her so a long time, and now that she's there, now that she caresses me and embrace me with heat, Some stupid scruples still come to haunt me.

Hinata: "Neji... please..."

scruples have swept.

Hinata... is professional, I can feel it. Briefly, I think that she must be skilled in the brigade, then I allow myself to be led by my so shy small cousin, who become a marvellous woman.

- Shinu POV-

Better and better. Hyuga are already on the slope of weakening, it's necessary there to push them gently, more and more. Two of Hyuga aren't any more in the bosom of the clan and loses their way in passionate paths. All is so easy, but I should not press and take my time. Gently, I weave my web. Haste is the enemy.
