(PS I DONT OWN NARUTO but i sure wish i did!!!!!)

Kit kit stared at the poster in town and began to imagine herself already there enjoying herself like a normal person. The wind began to blow around her and she walked off, Saki and Kami would have enjoyed this,she thought to herself. Kit kit rememberred her old companions in her past. THe two girls that had become sisters to her only to be taken away in the blink of an eye...

Outside of a rural village, three girls stand outside of a small bakery, eating the bread they could afford. Kit kit was among the three and was laughing and acting like she didnt have a care in the world. Her two companions were a girl from the village hidden in the waterfall and a girl hidden in the grass. The water fall ninja was taller then the other two and she didnt seem as spunky and light hearted as the other two. (she was saki)Her eyes were dark and her long black hair was braided behind her flowing in the wind. The grass ninja always had a smile on her face and was the shortest of all of them. Her short brown hair hung in two low pony tails and made up for her height with personality. (she was Kami)Together they were like sisters and they all had started out alone. But now, nothing could ever tear them apart. Not even Kit kit's secret, for they already knew and didnt care.Or so they thought..

Because they were as they call it, rogue ninja, they always were traveling from town to town looking for any work that they could find. And now that they were all Jounin, nothing could stand in their way now from getting the best jobs around. Now they were on the hardest mission they had ever gone on and they were excited. They had to deliver an important top secret message, to the village hidden in the sand.

But they were ambushed, and no amount of training could have prepared them for what happened next. They were way outnumbered and all three girls were done for. Saki was a master of illusion, but no illusion could have saved them from this. They tried everything but to no avail. THey were slaughterted one by one, and left to die. They layed there on a forrest floor, their bodies' gushing blood out every second. Kami's smile had disapeared and Kit kit held on to each of her freinds hands as they waited for the end. To enter the next life together, but this didnt happen. Within one hour, Kit kits major wounds had healed, but not her friends. She had woken up after falling unconcious because of the blood loss and looked at her friends blank lifeless eyes. Her eyes began to fill with tears and she collapsed onto her friends corpses. THe crimson puddles around her splashing up around her. She cryed why over and over again. She took the message from saki that she had to deliver and was about to give her friends a proper burial when a kunai came wizzing past her head. On it a note was attatched.

It read:

You caused their death,

You could have saved them,

But you were too weak,

You pathetic freak!

But kit kit was too preocupied with her friend's death's to even think about the note. ANd so she did what she could to help her friends have a proper burial and then she went to deliver the message to the sand village alone.

Kit kit was no longer in the streets by now. SHe was now outside the village by the lake laying down on the sweet soft earth below her. THe sun was now high in the sky, and the water was now sparkling with the sun's glittery light. She sat up and stared at her reflection in the sparkling water before her. But instead of her reflection looking like what she looked like now, it showed her true form instead.She stared at her reflection and dashed the water with her hand causing the reflection to ripple away. THen She quietly walked away back to the village and was greeted immediatly by Asagi outside the village walls.

"I have been looking for you everywhere, "she said panting,"A young man came by my brother's house looking for you!!" SHe took a deep breath" he wanted to show you something important" then she let out a huge sigh and began to hyperventalate a bit.

Kit kit stood there amazed that she would even come looking for her. but who had come to the house anyway??? was it Neji??? no it couldnt be him. no it wouldn't he wouldnt care.

Kit kit thanked Asagi and ran off into the village to the house. SHe ran and ran not noticing anything around her until..

"Hey watch where you are going!!!" Kit kit yelled as she bumped into someone.

"Its quite alright," said a cold and dark voice above her. "I would be more carefull if i were you young lady, you never know when unexpected tradgedies will happen." the man said. THe man was a lot taller than her and his face was hidden, but his voice was enough to send chills up ones spine. The man helped her up off her butt and began to walk off. Kit kit shivered, i know him from somewhere, but i just dont know where she thought, but then she ran off towards Asagi's brother's house.

BUt behind her the man snickerred, " she has no idea the horrors i will unleash upon her, " then he noticed one of the festival posters "Whats this? my my, what a wonderful oportunity?" then he snagged the poster and shoved it into his pocket and walked off. His long black jacket trailing behind him, a cold wind stirring the air around him.

"wierd" Kit kit said quietly to herself as she ran through the streets,I wonder what is going on?? Oh i hope it is neji I really want to talk to him about what happened, Kitkit began to run up the small hill right before the house, her heart pounding with each step she took. All that went through her mind was getting to see the young man who had shown her a different world. A world of kindness and light. a world that didnt look at her with cold contempt. She was running oon air well untill...

"WHo THE HELL ARE YOU!!!!!" she yelled as she approached the door. Instead of the longhaired, blank eyed neji that she had come to know a tall lean young man in a green jumpsuit and a bowl cut stood there in the door way. Kit kit could not hide her dissapointment, her eyes were wide and her face was red with embarrissment.

"I am rock lee, i was part of Neji's genin team when we were younger." the man said, you could tell that he was usually very formal with his speech,"I was asked by neji as a favor to give you a messageto meet him at this address," he handed her a small slip of paper, "oh and by the way" he said before he turned away,."Whatever you did to neji, i thank you for it," Kit kit's face changed from annoyed to surprised" ever since he met you he has been different. His eyes were once filled with distain and anger, but now they are filled with forgiveness and kindness. so once again thank you, " then he jumped off onto the roof tops of the village. He was wierd kit kit thought to herself as she opened up the slip of paper he handed her. I wonder what he meant of changed?? Then kit kit began to walk towards the address, The huaga estate.

Neji was outside the main gates waiting for her. WHen he saw her he rolled his large blank eyes. About time he thought to himself Kit kit waved to him and came to a stop gasping for air.

" SOrry... to keep you ...waiting" SHe said in between breathes. Neji rolled his eyes again and walked up to her.(SHE wasnt exactly in front of her)

"are you ready to go or not?!" he said with a little bit of annoyance in his voice. Kit kit grinned and nodded. Neji began to walk off as he turned around and said"Lets see if you can keep up!" He flashed her a coy smile and began to jump onto the rooftops above running as fast as he could. Kit kit grinned and followed close behind him. Not ever letting him out of her sight.

"So where are we going??" Kit kit asked neji as she began to close up behind him,

"somewhere where you once felt the warmth of happiness and protection." He yelled to her. Kitkit made a face. You know the kind. THe one where you have no idea what the heck someone is talking about. What is he talking about?? she thought as she jumped over a building.

Suddenly Neji stopped in front of an old home on the edge of town. It was old and the paint was peeling off almost every inch of the exterior. A small shrine was placed on the outside of the building and bouquets of dead flowers were on the outside of the shrine. Kit kit began to tremble and her eyes became glazed over with a thin layer of tears.

"Is this, my home?" she said quietly,

"yes," he said quietly,"your mother Lady Moegi was considerred a valuable medic here in the village and when she was murderred under mysterious circumstances they built her a small shrine here. WHen you told me your story, i found out where you used to live and decided to take you there." He looked over at her to discover Kit kit's entire body was trembling in agony and her eyes began to leak out tears. SHe ran over to neji and looked at him strait into his clear eyes.

"You have no idea how much this means to me, but i.. but i..." she turned away and looked into one of the shatterred windows of the old home. She saw beyond the cobwebs of the shack before and envisioned the home she once lived in. SHe saw her mother setting up the dinner table and herself as a child walking up to her mother and tugging on her kimono with her thumb in her mouth. SHe saw her mother picking up her toddler self and hugging her while dancing with her around the room. SHe saw all the memories flash before her mind as she stared our that window, Until she couldnt anymore. SOon it became all too much, she turned away and fell to her knees.

Behind her Neji began to regret bringing her here in the first place. He had thought this would make her happy but instead it made it worse. He began to walk up to her. He knelt down and placed his hand on her shoulder in an attempt to compfort her. He looked at her face. THe once strong girl he had once known was miles away. In her place was a hurt child that was reliving every moment of her life.

"Kit kit, " He began to say, his own eyes beginning to glaze over with tears,"Im... Im so sorry, i didnt mean to, i didnt know you'd react this way." he said looking away from her. Kit kit looked at him with her tear drenched face. SHe collapsed into his arms again and said quietly.

"Im not sad Neji, I am glad you have brought me here, really" she said smiling gently,"You have reminded me of how happy i once was when my mother was alive and for that i am greatful. Im not crying for misery, im crying out of happiness." then she hugged him tightly and buried her face into his chest. Nejis eyes widened. Its not right for a ninja to show emotion, he thought to himself, but around her i just want to let it all out i want to...The neji in return he hugged her tightly in his muscular arms and placed his head gently on hers. Could this feeling i feel for her,... could it be love????he thought over and over as his eyes lowered. He broke the hold on Kit kit and looked away. Kit kit stared at him and could see that his face had turned bright red. She smiled and looked at her mother's shrine. SHe got up and walked over to the shrine. SHe pushed away some of the dead flowers and began to make a small mound of dirt and rocks in their place. SHe cut off a small lock of hair and placed it on the mound. THen she bit her finger and wrote her family name in blood on the largest rock on the mound.

"Here you go mother,this is the proper burial i should have given you a long time ago" she said quietly, sucking the blood to stop the bleeding on her finger. She looked at the shrine and her little mound of dirt and smiled. What she needed to do had been done and now she could move on. Hopefully she thought as she stood up and stared at Neji. SHe smiled and walked up to him.

"Thank you," She said. She looked away from him for a moment to hide her now blushing face. She looked up at him and placed her hand on his pale face. She began to lean in close to his face. She closed her eyes. This was it..

Neji looked away. Kit kit opened her eyes. I should have known that he didnt feel the same... she thought

" Listen," Neji said quietly, his face still looking away from her, but one of his eyes was still staring at her. " Im... Im not that good at saying stuff like this but" His face was now beet red,"But the village is having a festibal 3 days from now on the night of the full moon and i was wonderring if you... if you would allow me to escort you there." He squeezed his eyes shut tightly. Then he squinted one of them open. He was expecting the worst but instead he got something totally unexpected. She was smiling. Her face was a little red and choclate brown eyes were now sparkling in the sun's rays. A sudden wind stirred and her long aqua hair and Neji's low pony tail blew wildly in the wind. She hugged onto him tightly knocking him over. She couldnt contain her excitement anymore. NO WAY could she do that!!!!!!!

"YES!!!!! YES!!!! AND OH YES!!!!!" SHe shouted to the heavens.

"Really?" Neji asked her with disbeleif. he smiled and placed his hand on her head and the other around her waist. He helped her up off the ground and hugged her as a thank you.

"It is i who Should be thanking you." Kit kit said quietly. Her face had changed into that of a woman that was hungry for lust of another. Neji's eyes widened. Why is she looking at me like that??? THen she closed her eyes and leaned in kissing him. At first Neji seemed surprised, but then he too enterred himself into the passion and kissed her back. Then she broke it off and began to walk away with a giant smile on her face. A new warm feeling of happiness rushing through her, as the sun began to cast its shadows over the great hokage faces, the stars gathering for the new night.

A little earlier behind a tree near by...

"I wonder if Neji is done already showing Miss Kitara her mother's shrine." Rock Lee said as he walked toward the old shrine on the outskirts of the village. "I need to get him back to the Huaga estate before his training with Miss Hinata." Then he noticed Kit kit talking to Neji. "OOPS i must have come to early" He said quietly and he ran to the back of large tree. Then he saw it happen. He saw them kiss. Lee's eyes widened(if that is even possibble!!) Neji is kissing MISS KITARA!!!!! When i said thank you for softening up Neji i didnt think you and him were actually... THen before he could even finish that thought he ran off into the village to tell the others what he had just say.

YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THEY FINALLY ADMITTED THEIR FEELINGS WELL SORT OF... ANY WAY RIGHT NOW ROCK LEE KNOWS ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!! WILL HE KEEP THEIR SECRET???? FAT CHANCE!!!!!!!!! AND WHAT DOES THIS SCARRED UP GUY MEAN BY OPPORTUNITY???? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
