Choices: What if Neji won?

Neji: Hmmm... If ever I won in our fight, I want it to happen like this.

"Yukino!" I ran towards her as she waited for me, "You doing something?" She nodded, "I have to bring these groceries to my brother." I took the grocery bags and carried it, "Let me give you a hand." She blushed, "Thank you, Neji-kun." I smiled, "No problem," I like it when she's blushing, I thought, She looks pretty cute. At the thought of it, I blushed, too.

We arrived at their house and entered the tofu shop. She showed me where to put the grocery bags and said, "Would you like to have a drink?" I nodded, "Sure." I sat at the chair at the dining room as she continued to walk to the kitchen to get a drink. "So you, together with Sasuke-kun and Reiji, are gonna fight?" Haku asked, making sure that Yukino doesn't hear. I nodded. "Should I tell Yukino?" he asked. I shrugged, "I don't know if it's necessary to tell it to her." He took a deep breath, "Whatever happens," he paused, "Don't kill each other." I looked at him, "Maybe. Maybe not. We won't know if we're getting carried away by the fight. But I swear that I'll not kill them." Yukino approached me, carrying a glass of water. "Hai," she smiled. I smiled back as I took that glass, "Thank you." I emptied the glass. I placed it on the table and stood. "You going?" she asked. "I have to go somewhere," I replied. "Would you like me to walk with you?" she blushed again. "Thanks, but, no thanks. Maybe next time," I started to walk to the door, "Someday, I'm gonna ask you to go out with me," I looked at her and smiled, "Is that okey with you?" "S-Sure."

I arrived at the forest and saw Sasuke. "Where's Reiji?" I asked. He rolled his eyes away from me, "Hn! How should I know?" I sighed. Luckily, by a split of a second, Reiji arrives, "Am I late?" "Not quite," I replied as I closed my eyes. I opened them again as I was about to use Byakugan. "Hn," Sasuke used his Sharingan and pulled out shurikans. "It's showtime."

"Neji, Sasuke-kun and Reiji are fighting because they are desperate to win," Haku said, "They are fighting over you." Yukino stared down, a bit confused, "Should I stop them?" He shrugged, "It's up to you." After some time of thinking, she darted out of the house.

Sasuke threw shurikens with wires to bind me and Reiji. We dodged and at the same time, attacked Sasuke. Oh, shit! Sasuke jumped backwards and just stood to where he's standing, gasping for breath. Reiji used his bamboo sword and attacks Sasuke with it. He managed to injure Sasuke but not quite deep. "Hey, aren't we unfair here?" he asked as he held his bleeding shoulder, "Did you two talked about teaming up?" "Oh yeah," Reiji scratched his head, "Haven't noticed that we were attacking you together," he looked me, "Anyway, you're turn acting-so-cool Neji." As I blinked, Reiji started charging at me at full speed. Suddenly, he disappeared. I gasped in surprise and as I frantically searched for him, he appeared behind me. I haven't noticed him from behind, I thought, Although I can see for about 360 degrees. Reiji devilishly smiled, I'm not letting you die easily. I wanna let you suffer some more.

I fell down from pain. I held my bleeding arm. I breathed heavily and gave a sharp look at Reiji. "I didn't know that you improved much, Reiji," I said. Reiji waved his hand, "Yeah, yeah whatever. So… I won right?" "Not yet," Sasuke struggled to stand up. Reiji turned to look at him, "Oh, so you're not satisfied yet?" he smiled, "I'll give you the reward that you deserve, Sasuke and Neji… You're death!" "Yamete!" All of us looked to where the voice came from, and, to our surprise, it was Yukino. I don't know how but Reiji somehow woke up to reality. He realized what he was doing. "Yukino," I blurted out, "Why did you come here?" "I don't want any of you to get hurt," came the reply. I stared at Yukino, then to Reiji, But why did Reiji's personality became different? I asked myself, I wonder if it has something to do with the Chinese demon possessed inside of him…

I walked through the street, wandering around. After I got out of the hospital, I've never seen any of my rivals, or Yukino. I continued walking until I saw Haku. I called, "Haku!" He looked at me and smiled, "Neji," he approached me, "How're you feeling?" I shrugged, "Feeling better," I paused, "How about Yukino?" He continued to smile, "She's been worrying about you. Come with me. I'm sure that she'll be very happy to see you."

"Yukino, you've got a visitor," Haku called from outside her room. He nodded at me and I entered. I saw her sitting in front of her desk. She looked at me and was surprised, "Neji-kun?" I nodded, "Yes, I'm here. I was worried that I haven't seen you for a while… But…" "But what?" "But I just wanna know… Who would you want from the three of us?" She looked down and blushed, "I didn't know that all of you were rivals until my brother told me." Silence overcame. I approached Yukino and reached for her to give her a tight hug, "Don't be afraid to tell it to me." Her hands reached the back of my neck and pulled me closer. I smiled, So this is your answer…

Translations:

Byakugan (White Eyes)

This jutsu is activated in the eyes, much like the Sharingan. Sharingan actually developed from Byakugan. This jutsu allows the user's vision to become 360 degrees. The user is able to see fully around them, and all their surroundings. Byakugan also has the ability to see objects, and view the inner coil system of a person's body, and in advanced cases, the Chakra Holes. Using this, the user can attack the inner organs of a person, and do high amounts of damage.

"Hai."

Originally means "Yes" but in this story, it means "Here."

-kun

Indicates familiarity or affection.

Sharingan

Sharingan

The Uchiha are said to be descendants of the Hyuuga, with the Byakugan changing into the Sharingan over time. This doujutsu (eye skill) gives one the ability to read Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and then defeat it. As such, the clan member can view a technique being performed and almost instantly memorize the movements required to be able to complete it, including the needed chakra moldings and seals used. However the clan member cannot copy techniques that are unique to another bloodline and the clan member must have a body capable of meeting the chakra and physical requirements to do the jutsu. This rarely stops the clan member though, as such stressful situations often push their limits farther and allow them to harness their full potential.

Shuriken/s

Another common weapon, the shuriken is often kept in a holster on the leg or in a pouch attached to the belt.

"Yamete."

"Stop."
