Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and I just made this story and I wanted to share it to all. The only character that I own here is Hijiri and Hime.
Title: Reason
Rated: T Romance
This is pure Neji/Hinata story so if you don't want the pairing, shu..! You don't belong here. I don't need your annoying comments about incest because I really love incest. I warned you I'm not good in English.
What will you do when the person you really love is already gone?
This story is about love over pride. Love is not only express by words but also by action. It is not only physical but also mental. You should not love the person by one reason but love the person with his/her whole personality.
What is this strange feeling…?
Like…
I'm incomplete when he is not around…
No…
I already love someone and it's not him…
It's Naruto…?
Do I really…like you…?
or…
not…?
But…
I'm already married…I don't want to upset my father…
Is that only the reason…?
Hinata…
But…why…?
You're jealous whenever your husband is walking with other girls…
Even his teammate, Tenten…
Even you know she will never get him from you…
But why…?
I thought you don't like him…
I thought that you only married him for the clan…
I thought you already love someone else…
I thought…
But…
Why…?
Why do I feel this way…?
Strange…
"No!" Hinata shout impatiently like she was already full. She was standing in front of her father. She managed to obey the rules of the Hyuuga clan but now. She was force to marry a man that she really doesn't like.
Really doesn't like…?
"Otto san… nan de," she continued.
Neji who was also shock only look at her in silent.
"Hai," he answered and bow his head.
Hinata look at him. She was shock too on what he said. He has his girlfriend and she knows that he really likes her. She stands slowly in silent as she exited the room.
Why…?
Why did you easily agree…?
I know you love her…
But…
Why…?
Why did you agree to marry me…?
A weak like me is…
We're not compatible…
It takes only two weeks to arrange the marriage. As soon as he was ready, the ceremony settles.
"Nii san…" Hinata called him as she enters a small room, "a-ano…"
He was looking at the window when she arrived. He slowly looks at her in her silver eyes and she immediately avoids eye contact with him.
"Can I help you, Hinata-sama?" Neji softly asked as he looks at her seriously. "You should be sleeping now."
"Why did you accept it?" Hinata asked shyly.
"Ha?" Neji puzzled. "Accept what?"
"T-the marriage…" Hinata whisper but she sees to it that he heard it.
"I see," Neji responded and gaze to the window, "you still thinking of that."
"I-it's about the…" Hinata said.
"Don't bother." He demanded as he exited the room.
Nii-san…
I'm confused…
Sunade announced a class B mission for Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto. It was not that hard if the ten unknown ninja didn't attacked them.
"Nii-san," Hinata whispered dizzily, "where are you?"
She was left behind. No, they got separated. It was raining so hard and the lightning almost reaches the ground. She was all wet she feels cold and shiver even her jacket can't protect her. Her eyes blurred and she feels like her knees want to give up.
"Neji," she whispered.
Why do I think of him…?
She holds on a tree when she feels that she will collapse soon.
Nii-san…
She fell slowly to the ground with a blush of red on her cheek.
Fear…
Alone…
Weak…
Strong arms grab her. She was too weak to determine who he is. The only thing she remembers is...
I will be alright now…
When she woke up, she felt strange. Her body is heavy.
"Don't force yourself," a familiar voice said, "you have a fever yesterday so take a rest."
"N-Naruto," she responded.
"We will leave as soon as Neji comes back," he added as he continues to eat his ramen, "want some?"
Hinata shyly shook her head and sweetly smile at Naruto.
So you save me again Naruto…
You're always there when I need you…
"Arigato," she said shyly.
"Oh… It's nothing," Naruto replied rubbing his left eye.
"If Neji did not find you, you might still suffering with a fever today," he added.
What…?
Neji…save me!
Hinata stun for a moment. She was thinking what her husband was thinking in that moment.
"Oh… Neji, finally you're back," Naruto said smiling, "what took you so long?"
"It's none of your business," Neji answered.
She was just staring at their back as they walk. She really thinks she likes Naruto but what is this strange feeling for Neji.
Neji…
She feels safe whenever he's around. She feels jealous whenever he is with others. She feels empty when she sleeps knowing he's not still home.
Why…?
Why do I feel this way…?
It's not love, I know…
Love…
Of course I love him…
But…
As a friend…?
I wish…
It's been two, almost two years since we got married but we still have no child…
One night Neji return home late, almost three in the morning, because they celebrate the return of one of the Anbu leader, Sasuke.
She was sleeping when he enters the room. His face was reddish. He drank too much sake. He was looking at her with his sharp eyes, sharp eyes like a hawk.
He slowly approaches her on the bed and brushes her hair. He was sweetly smiling looking at her as she sleeps.
"Naruto," she whispered as tears fell on her soft pink cheeks.
"Gomen," he said with weak smile.
He slowly kisses her on her neck as he slowly lower her Yukata on her shoulder. She was already naked when she awakens.
"N-Nii san…" she was shock.
She was naked and he was on top of her (but he was JUST staring at her). His elbows were supporting him.
"Just sleep," he whispered with sweet smile.
"But," she replied, "Neji."
Making love, part of husband's and wife's life. They did it, at last he moved.
"N-Neji kun," she whispered poking her index finger together, "a-ano."
He was fixing his Anbu uniform when she entered the room. He looks at her seriously when she called him.
"I…I am pregnant," she shyly said and she clench her hands on her back as she avoids eye contact with him.
"Is that so." He responded as he fixes his Anbu mask, "good for you."
He exited the room beside her. Tears start to fall when he left. She slowly sat on the floor; she was expecting this to happen.
W-why…?
You can't do this to me…
Not now…
Not now that I need you…
She was standing under a big Sakura tree as tears starts to fall on her cheek.
Why…?
Why do I suffer…?
"I don't like this," Hinata shouted and kneeled covering her face with her both hands, "I can't live like this."
"Hinata,"a familiar woman voice called her and holds her on her shoulder, "why are crying?"
She slowly looks at the person. It was her aunty, Neji's mother.
"A-aunty," she immediately responded as she hugs her tightly, "I'm afraid."
Her aunty sweetly smile as she brush Hinata's hair, "There, there, every thing will be alright."
"They're the same," her aunt said looking at her tea, "ne…"
Ha…?
They were sitting under the Sakura tree as they drink a tea.
"Your father and Neji," her aunt continued.
"Ah," Hinata responded, "r-right."
Like my father…?
Right…
Because he…
Always scolds me like him…
Always correct the wrong things I've done…
Always put me down…
Always angry when I'm around…
Always disgrace me…
I'm just a woman…
I'm not perfect…
"I still remember…" her aunt said as she giggles a little that caught Hinata's attention, "when your mother and father bound to be together."
"Oka-sama? Otou-sama?" Hinata puzzled looking at her aunty.
Her aunty nodded then she looked at the sky.
"Hinata-sama," her aunty said looking at the sky, "you should go home now."
"H-hai," she immediately replied.
Days pass so quickly…
It was 5th day of winter when our child was born. We named him Hijiri. He looks like his father, the same eyes like him…
Yet, I never felt that Neji care for his son because the only time he looked at him is when the baby was born…
I don't want to feel sorry for my child because I'm proud to have him…
Who cares if he doesn't like him any way…?
Until…
On Hijiri's 7th birthday…
"Otto-sama!" Hinata said as she enters the room. Tears fall on her cheek as she tries to speak, "H-Hiji…"
Hinata put her hands on her face as she cries harshly.
"Hiji!" Hiashi immediately respond.
"H-Hiji, Otto-sama," she again tries to speak.
"H-Hjiri is missing!" she continued.
"What!" Hiashi harshly respond.
Hiashi approach the door to call some branch family to search for the child.
"Otto-sama," Hinata interrupted as she tries to calm down, "they left a note. They said they'll bring the child back in exchange for the Byakugan secret."
"The cloud ninja again," Hiashi whispered and open the door, "Neji?"
Hinata look on the floor and clench her hands, "He was still in a Mission."
"I told you," Hinata's aunty said, "I told you to tell him that he must quit Anbu and just hold the clan instead."
"He told me he can still manage to rule the clan even he don't quit Anbu," Hinata replied as she sobs, "but…"
"Now, don't worry," her aunt demanded, "Everything will be alright."
She nodded trying to smile.
Hinata headed to the Hyuuga elder's room before she returns to her home. She holds the door and tries to open it.
"Hime," Hiashi said.
Hinata silently used her Byakugan to see her father inside the room. He was holding a jar as sorrow can be seen on his face.
Otto-sama…!
"Hime, did I do something wrong?" Hiashi continued, "Why do they always disturb our lives?"
Oka-sama…
"I should have told you how much I like you when you are still here," Hiashi said as he put the jar back to its place, "Hime, forgive me."
Otto-sama…
Hinata lay on her bed and hug a pillow. She was thinking about her son, father and her mother.
What should I do…?
I must find him…
He needs me…
Hinata sat down as she thinks of the things she must bring in her mission, to retrieve her son. She was about to stand when she sense someone outside the room so she immediately lay on the bed waiting for the person to enter the room.
As expected, it was Neji wearing his Anbu uniform. He looks at her and approaches the bed. He slowly touches her hair down to her cheek.
"I'm sorry," Neji whispered, "I was too harsh on you."
Neji…
"Too harsh like I can't even protect you," Neji added as he seriously stares at her, "Hinata-sama."
"Don't worry I'll bring him back," He said as he stand straightly, "I don't want to lose you both like my father."
Hinata slowly open her eyes when Neji grab his Anbu mask.
"I love you and I will return here just to be with you," Neji continued putting his Anbu mask on his face, "Promise."
He opened the door and step out of the house
"Neji!" she shouted but he was already gone.
"They're the same, ne…"
"Your father and Neji…"
"I should have told you how much I like you when you are still here…"
"Hime, forgive me…"
Otto-sama…
"I love you and I will return here just to be with you…"
"Promise…"
Promise…?
Neji…
I'll wait for you then…
Promise…
It was almost three years since I last saw you…
Neji…
Where are you…?
Will you still return…?
I'm still waiting here for you…
TBC…
