That night he could not fall asleep. He kept staring at the selling and thinking about his past. There were still some blank spots, many things he could not link, but most came back. He remembered the battle he got injured in, he remembered the pain when he was trying to save his life. He remembered things from the distant past. Hinata, and her role in his life. He remembered how he used to observe her, watch over her, love her from a distance. He remembered how he used to hate her, punish her for his pain, how he used to release his anger on her. He remembered how badly he hurt her during the chunin exam. Then came memories of his friends, TenTen, Lee, Naruto and so many others.

He decided to stay with Lord Kinto until the safety of the family was secure. He reluctantly told them about who he was and where he was from. They were all sad he was leaving them, but his place was somewhere else.

Two days later he was working at the office when he heard a knock on the door, when he went to answer he noticed blue hair and white eyes, the same eyes as his own. Then he leaned down to grab her before she fell to the floor.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She woke up feeling something wet on her face, when she opened her eyes she noticed several people standing around. She was laying on something soft, then she realized she was in his arms. She looked at him still not believing her eyes.

"Nissan, am I dead or am I going insane?" she whispered to him.

"Neither" he replied hugged her tighter. She looked at him with disbelief but did not hesitate she wrapped her arms around him and began to cry out all the pain that gathered in her when they were apart. He did not know why she was crying, he just held her and tried to give her comfort. He noticed that the Kinto family had decided to leave them alone in the room for which he was grateful.

"Hinata what's wrong?" he asked her.

"Neji why didn't you come home? If you were alive why didn't you come back?" she cried.

"I did not know where my home was, I was badly injured and I lost my memory." He explained quietly. "I still don't remembered most things." He continued.

" I missed you so much, you can't even imagine how much it hurt me that you were said to be dead." She began. "When they said you died during the battle I felt like dying myself. Father would not forgive me that I survived and that you and Hanabi passed away."

"Hanabi?"

"Yes she died, as well as Naruto, Shikamaru, TenTen and most of our friends." She kept crying. "Father kept telling me that I should have died and that you both should have lived. I wish I was dead then. It all hurt so much." She tugged into his embrace. He felt tears coming to his eyes, she missed him, she was in pain because of his death, which meant she must have cared about him. He wished he had been there for her, that he had stood by her side when her father was scolding her for surviving. He should have been there to defend her. He failed her. He felt anger at the old Hyuga, she was in pain and he only made her pain worst. No father should treat his child like that, he would never treat his child like that. He kept rocking her in his arms until the crying stopped.

"Neji will you come back home with me?" she asked him.

"Yes I will." He replied.

She spend rest of the day meeting the Kinto family. She was extremely grateful to them hearing what they did for Neji. If not for them he wouldn't have lived… and nothing was more important to her. She met the children Neji was so fond of and immediately established a good contact with them. Lady Kyoto admired the gentile girl who moved around with elegancy and charm, it was clear that this was a person with a good heart, and she was really warmly welcome in their home. Her close relation to Neji only made her more welcome and easier accepted. The negotiations were fast and precise and a team would be sent to take care of the family, and only then would she and Neji return. She had been invited to stay in the house which she accepted gratefully. She was given a room just next to Neji's and she eat dinner with them. They spent most of the evening talking, she told Neji about the changes that took place in Konoha, about her work in the hospital with the kids, he told her about the life in this household, about accidents that happened with the kids. She did not mention Hizashi at all, she noticed he was very reserved towards her just like several years before, and she kept wondering how much he really remembered. Later that evening they went to their bedrooms and went to sleep alone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometime at night he felt a soft and warm body lay down next to him. He automatically extended his arms so that she could come closer and put his head in her hair. She smelled so nice. Soon she was asleep in his arms, and he kept dreaming about her. That smell was so familiar, as if he had contact with it before. New memories emerged. The garden, she was standing there looking so sad and beautiful, then he remembered the kisses that when after, her body wrapped around his, his body in her, her touch and her scent. He remembered how he wanted her, and how she responded to him. He hugged her tighter looking at her in her sleep. He was surprised. He was surprised with those last memories. He knew he loved her, but going so crazy, being her first and taking her was something he did not expect. She woke up, and looked up at him and smiled. He leaned down to kiss her.

"I love you" he whispered.

"I love you too" she whispered back and accepted all his love.
