Part 5

As Mizuki stood up, her legs turned numb for sitting too long and stumbled. Neji helped her from falling. Mizuki looked at Neji with curious eyes and asked, "How much did you hear?" Neji looked forward and said, "I came when you were carving your mother's name. So I guess I heard all of it." Mizuki looked down. She lost grip of Neji's hand and used her mother's gravestone for support. The umbrella was not't on top of her anymore, she was soaking wet again. Yeah, she cried again. "Thank you, Mother."

With that, she fainted. Neji sighed. He picked her up and carried her home. 'Mizuki is very light.' He thought. He had her in his arms. He came home, carrying Mizuki like he just saved her from a war. But no one saw his rescuing scene, everyone was sleeping. No, they're not. Hinata was invited to Sakura's party. Hanabi and Hizashi went out of the village to visit some close friends. Neji sighed again, and walked towards Mizuki's room.

Neji slid open Mizuki's door with his foot. He placed her gently onto her bed. He left the room to get more blankets. Of course, he didn't want to help her change out of her clothes, so he thought to keep her warm with a thousand blankets. When he came back into Mizuki's room, he unfolded all the blankets, one by one, and placed it on her. When he was done, he looked over at the tea table and saw pictures.

The pictures looked old, like five years ago. He scan through alot of them, but stopped when it was a picture of him, her, and Hinata. The pictures said that they were seven. He looked at the next picture and saw Mizuki and him sitting on a field, the processing of Neji giving Mizuki a flower.

Mizuki coughed. Neji putted down the pictures and checked over Mizuki. He placed his palm on her forehead. It was very hot. Of all the time for her to get sick, she had to choose now. He left the room to get two cups of water, one for him, and one for her, just in case. He placed both cups on the tea table and went back to looking at the pictures. Each of the pictures reminded him of the past. There was one picture of him and his father, then Mizuki and her mother. Also, Hinata and her father. Alot of the pictures was with him and Mizuki, always at a certain field.

He was caught up in one of the pictures of him kissing her slightly on the check, that he didn't hear the bed move. "Neji." Neji turned over, and saw Mizuki still in bed, but was turning towards him. He blushed slightly and placed the pictures down. He left the room, but came back with medicine in his hands.

"You had to be sick when no one is home." Neji said, acting cool again. Mizuki giggled weakly, and tried to sit up, but she had an enormous headache. Neji looked over and helped Mizuki sit up, placing her head against the wall. He took out two pills from the medicine container and handed her the water and the pills. She looked at it for awhile and took it. When she was finished, Neji took the cup from her and walked out. When he came back, he asked, "Can you stand up?" Mizuki tried to, but she stumbled again, her headache caused it. She looked at what she was wearing, her wet clothes. "I'm going to change." Mizuki walked, using the wall for support.

She took a shower, and changed. Neji went inside his room for awhile to think. Ok, so I knew her when I was little. Her last name was said everyday after Father died. Hizashi and Tsunade respects her. Her mother's name is on the blue stone. She told me about her mother dying for a family. Neji stood up, he knew why, he figured everything out. He now knows the truth of Mizuki.

Mizuki left the shower and walked towards her room. She folded all the blankets into a neater position. Neji heard all the racket in her room so he left his room to knock on her door. Mizuki opened it. "You don't have to take care of me anymore, I'm fine." He looked over at the pictures on her tea table, it was still there. "Did you figure everything out yet?" Neji thought before saying, "I have theories." Mizuki smiled and said, "Let's go eat and talk about your theories."

Neji sat at the table, while Mizuki took out food. "Mizuki, what's taking so long." Neji asked, irritated. "I'm not sure if I should cook, because you seem like you don't like my food." Neji sighed. "Take them out." Mizuki looked at him, and took the dishes of sushi she made.

"Ok, what's your theories?" Mizuki asked, picking up a sushi from the dishes. Neji took a sushi and placed it in his mouth. He chewed slowly, his eyes lit up, and kept on eating and eating. "Neji, are you alright?" Mizuki asked, worried. "Hinata and Hanabi is right, this is the best sushi ever." He looked up at Mizuki, who had a warm smile on her face. "Well, I .. think you and your mother was the people who saved the Hyuuga clan." Neji looked back down, wondering if he's going crazy. Mizuki giggled. He looked back up and Mizuki said, "Correct." Neji continued, "looking from the pictures you had in your room, we were very good friends when we were little." Mizuki giggled again, "haha, well, yeah. You can say that." "and, when we were kids, we used to go to this one field to play." Mizuki gave him her innocent smile. "That's all?" Neji said, "No. Your mother's name was carved onto the blue stone because she saved a clan. Tsunade-sama and the Third Hokage knows you because when you were eight, you fought to help your mother. Also, because you can actually control the monster in you."

Mizuki looked down. Neji ate another sushi. Neji broke the silence, "I think you should meet Tenten and Lee tomorrow." Mizuki giggled, "You can't wait to see your girlfriend." Neji blushed, "What are you talking about?" Mizuki giggled. "I know she likes you, and when I say her name, you blush." Neji was in denial, "No I don't. Stop playing around and eat." Mizuki smiled, "I'll eat, but you stop playing with your feelings." Neji looked away, "I'm not playing with my feelings." DENIAL! Mizuki shook her head, "Poor, poor boy. He can't ask out the girl he likes. Or even tell her he likes her. Neji, Neji, Neji. You need help. Especially when you have a problem of blushing alot."

"I DO NOT BLUSH ALOT! AND I DON'T LIKE TENTEN!" Neji yelled. He knew himself that he blushes when someone talks about Tenten. "Hai, hai. Finish eating, I want to show you something." Neji finished the rest of the sushi.

Mizuki led him back to her room. She took out a small jar from her box and placed it on the tea table. Neji looked at it, no, not look, stare. He never saw it before. "My mother gave it before she died. It holds memories. She told me that an elder in her home village gave it to her, and he only made one. I thought myself how to put the memories in there. My mother also said I can look into the memories again." With that, she did some unfamiliar hand gestures. She pointed at her head, then the hand looked like it was pulling something out of her head. Sure enough, seconds later, something blue came out form the side of her head. She grabbed it and placed it into the jar.

Then, she did a total different hand gesture, and the jar grew big. Neji stood there, shocked. "Are you ready?" Mizuki turned to ask Neji. "What are we doing?" Neji asked. Mizuki giggled and said, "We're going to when we were little from my memories."

Mizuki took his hand and made another hand gesture with her left hand only.

The room turned into another house.
