In this chapter it goes back to the beginning, which was the prologue!
Chapter Four
Back to the Present 2
Neji gritted his teeth, thinking about the women who laid in the medical emergency room. She had been in there for the last fourteen hours, experiencing heavy blood loss, a puncture to the lung, and various other problems. Many expert medical nins were operating on her, including Shizune and Tsunade, but even with their help it seemed that matters were close to hopeless.
The man next to him sighed, brushing his long fingers through the dark, brown strands of his hair. The both of them stood there, completely nerve wrecked, waiting to hear the results of the operation. "This is driving me to my wits end," the man informed. Neji nodded, understanding the impact of those words. The man next to him was almost never nervous, always calm, collected, and kind. The man clasped his hands together. He leaned his head on top of his hands, looking like he was praying. "For some reason, even though I'm so worried, I can't stop thinking about the past."
Neji stood still. The man had just voiced the very same thing running through his head. Ever since he had rushed the women to the hospital he could not help thinking about all that had happened. Suddenly, a question seemed to strike him, one that he had had before but never asked aloud. "Why did you lie to us? Why didn't you tell us who you were the first time we met you?" asked Neji, a memory flickering across his face. To him, he had always believed that if she had known who the man really was, then she would never have had associated with him so closely.
"Maybe, because I did find myself attracted to her. She was different from everybody else I knew. She was unique. I didn't want her to treat me differently because of who I was. But of course, that was stupid of me to even consider, because it wouldn't matter to her who I was, she would still treat me the same as she always has," the man replied, a dreamy look in his eyes. "And I guess, that just made me love her even more."
Neji closed his eyes. The man was right. Even if she had known who he was, she would have treated him no differently. No matter how he tried to twist the truth, it kept hitting him in the face. He wanted to blame other things, other people for what had happened, but in all reality, it was what he didn't do that caused everything.
Okay, I know this really sucks, and everything, but please R&R and let me know what you think anyways. PLZ!
