AN: Hello everyone! While I got few reviews I did get more than 400 hits in just a week and a half so I am happy! This is the second chapter for A Gentle Fist. I wasn't going to continue it but I finally got some ideas. Let me know yours! Who knows, I might put it in the story!
I was so happy that day but now, I can't even fight without some image of Hinata overtaking me. I am afraid of Hinata in a way. I love her but she may reject me from all those years of torture I put her through. I see it best to avoid her, and that's what I shall do. Every day I trained with Rock Lee to keep myself from thinking about Hinata. On one day though, the visions returned during our everyday practice.
"Neji, you are a strong opponent but I shall not back down no matter how many times you defeat me."
"Lee, this is no different than any other practice."
"It is, for I shall beat you finally! I have gotten better at my taijutsu techniques!"
"Fine. Let's see what you can do but you know you can't win."
Lee charged and I avoided him with no trouble but then he caught me off guard by throwing a shuriken. It only scratched me but I was surprised he even used a ninja tool. It was something he never did. He charged again and this time jumped over me when I side stepped him. He somersault kicked me in mid-air. I hit the ground hard but got back up. I was shocked by his new strategy at fighting me. He stood there waiting for me to make a move. I guessed what his defensive technique would be and I attacked. I faked him out by throwing a kunai at his left which he naturally moved to the right to avoid and I got an opening. I unleashed a Gentle Fist Style assault on him and he couldn't defend it. As I struck, his skin suddenly felt as soft as Hinata's. Then, I paused my attack and saw that he had transformed into a bruised and injured Hinata. I thought " No, it can't be…."
Hinata had tears strolling down her cheeks and multiple bruises all over her body where I had struck Lee. I was shaking, knowing that I had hurt Hinata. It was unbearable. Then, the illusion was shattered by her yelling "Leaf Hurricane!" I was hit in the chest by a flurry of kicks and knocked into a tree. I was almost at the point of tears at the image of Hinata in that state and it blinded my body from the pain I should have felt from the attack. Then Gai sensei interrupted our fight and told me that Lord Hiashi wanted to speak to me. I left for Hyuga Manor wondering why Hiashi would want to speak to me.
The only way to find out was to go there so I did.
AN: That's a wrap. There will be one more chapter after this or I might divide it into 2. Hope you liked this chapter and please let me know in your review!
