You're Beautiful
NejiHina
"damn it...! damn it...! damn it!"
The day before replayed, yet again, in my mind. I saw things I should have done and things I shouldn't have.
I kept hitting the wooden dummy in the Hyuga training grounds. I already used more than half my chakra, my hands were ripped and bleeding to the point it hurts too much. But I didn't stop.
Yesterday, I should have said something more to her. Now, I know, she'll never look at me again.
I was lost. No where to run and no where to hide. I have to face this head on.
I gave the dummy one last hit, before falling to the ground. Out of breath, I tried to figure out what I'd do if I ran into Hinata. The only thing I could think of was to look away and continue to go where ever it was I was going in the first place.
Once I gathered enough energy, I went into my room in the Cadet Branch house and rebandaged both of my hands.
Shoving them both into my pockets, I walked away from my room and the Hyuga Manor. Gai gave us the day off, so I had nothing to do.
Konoha was very livly today. Silently, I thanked God it was. There was no chance of seeing Hinata out here.
I saw you're face in a crouded place
and I didn't know what to do
After about an hour of walking aimlessly, I walked away from the street and the people and sat under a tree.
Once my eyes glanced at the people again, a certain face, a certain smile, caught my eye.
Hinata-sama
She was smileing and laughing like nothing had happened the day before. I felt worse.
What hurt more was she was with him.
Naruto Uzumaki.
I watched them walk on.
Suddenly angery, I stood up fircely from my spot and walk home, walking right past Hinata.
'Cause I'll never be with you
I layed on my bed, thinking through things.
I heard footsteps out side my door. Someone knocked gentilly.
"Go away. I don't want to see anyone today." I said, coldly and harshly.
"Neji-niisan? Its me, Hinata. Can we talk?"
"About what? There's nothing to talk about."
"Niisan, I have to tell you something. Please, can I come in?"
"Do as you want." I turned onto my side. When Hinata entered my room, I proped myself up on my elbow.
"Well? What is it, Hinata-sama?"
I watched her as she began to fumble with her fingers.
"Well, um, the other day... you told me you loved me... and I just wanted to say..." she paused and gulped.
Hearing this, I sat up and asked, a bit softer, "What is it, Hinata-sama?"
"Um, I just wanted you to know, that we could never be together. Hiashi-sama wouldn't allow it. He would say it was unmoral."
I felt a 'pang' in my chest. "Was this all you wanted to tell me? Don't you think I already know that!" I snapped. This was truly a false anger. I could never be truly mad at Hinata.
At all.
I guess I was just angery with myself. I should not have told her. Now we couldn't even be friends, I don't even think she could ever get used to the fact I loved her.
Hinata was, once again, on the verge of crying, just as before. I looked to the ground.
Now I know. Naruto can make Hinata laugh. He could make her smile. I couldn't ever do that for her. I can only make her cry.
"...T-thats not all, Neji-n-niisan... I also wanted to say... a-ano... that I too... um..." she paused, yet again, taking a deep breath. "I love you, Neji-niisan!"
My head shot up.
Her eyes were closed, just like mine were then. Her face was red with shyness and embarrassment and her fingers were lased together.
I smiled a little, and stood up, steping closer to Hinata. I took one of her hands, separtaing them. My other hand touched her reddened cheek. She leaned into my touch a little.
Her eyes opened and looked, shyly, into mine.
"You're beautiful, Hinata-sama." I said, kissing her other cheek.
I put some distance between us, not letting go of her hand or removing my hand from her cheek.
Hinata smiled and pulled me out of my room and into the garden.
"Why are we here?" I asked, looking around. One of my hands were at my side and the other was still holding Hinata's.
She giggled. "I don't know. I thought it would be nice to spend some time outside." She slipped her hand away from mine and walked up to a full bloomed rose-bush. "besides, Its already noon and you haven't left your room." she added, playing with the pedals to one rose.
