When
Neji and I are summoned to the office I feel some confusion of why
Neji is so close to me but then I notice the foreign presence and I
go cold. Neji feels it and stands between me and Kyou in habit.
"ah
good everyone is here, most of you know Kyou as our spy but thanks to
Hinata-chan we've uncovered the reason they've stay one step
ahead of us."
"Why haven't you killed him yet?" Kiba-kun growled, I could feel his anger but I think most of it was directed at Neji.
"He has agreed to help as set a trap that can tip the scales in our favor."
I
stayed beside Neji as he with the help of the other planned out an
attack on Iwa to destroy the enemy.
"So
traitor what are we going to do about Cloud?"
"That is where we need Hinata-chan to come with me to cloud like old times."
"No.
And if you don't want to die then stop staring at her."
"Ah
so you're the boyfriend? I'll tell you like I told her, it hasn't
stopped me before and it sure as hell doesn't now." The
only thing stopping Neji from killing him was my hand on his thigh
that set a whole new fire in him.
"What do you have in mind piss pants?"
"Piss pants?" Naruto asked confused at his nick name.
"Miss peeping tom over there made me piss my pants when we met up in Iwa."
"Peeping tom?"
"Not
a word-"
"Hinata-chan
likes to watch people have sex."
The table was quiet at his words but I was to into arguing with the
jerk to notice.
"It was one time and I'm blind so I didn't see anything!"
"Ah so you haven't visited any whore houses here? What, is starlight irreplaceable?"
"Whose starlight?"
"The woman who gave Hinata-chan one hell of a kiss, Hinata was rather fond of her as she hit on me to get up stairs to watch her have sex with some kid."
"I-I-She-We-"I
stuttered at my explanation but I couldn't form an words in my
outrage.
"She
kissed me out of nowhere and she wasn't the one I was interested in
and for the record it was business!"
"Ah, so you're the reason advisor-sama canceled his son's engagement to the Iwa girl and that's the reason you killed her father!"
"I did not kill her father! The worm ate him and the Kage dishonored the agreement so I had no choice but to step in!"
"Ah and making him pee his pants doesn't give him enough reason to hate you."
"I didn't think the worm was that scary!"
"You're
blind so you didn't see but trust me it was freaking terrifying! Of
course he doesn't hate you as much as that advisor. Pretending to
be his daughters guards and break into the secret lab, steal all of
the documents and destroy the hyuuga eyes that were there and then
get his daughter to rub it in his face pretty much crossed you off
the Christmas card list."
"That
aside what do you have planned?"
"Easy, you call in a favor and attack them through the inside border."
"No, I won't involve that favor."
'Do you have a choice? It will take most of what Suna and Iwa have to be on the same level as Iwa is in."
I
disappear in a cloud of smoke to land on my chair and face my old
friend.
"I
wondered when you'd come."
"Say
no and refuse me."
"Nope,
you're leading us in attack on cloud when you give the word.
Everybody in mist knew it would happen so we've been preparing the
last years and have been sending spies into cloud. All that was left
was to wait for you to ask."
"I
never wanted this for mist."
"No but mist needs to do this as well as you need to ask."
"Will you join Kohona and Suna?"
"Of course."
"Stubborn old fool."
"Self sacrificing masochist."
I Hug Hanabi as she clings tightly to me in a death grip.
"I have to go Hanabi."
I can't lose you Omouto."
"You won't, I'll come home to you Hanabi, I always will."
I hug one last as I turn away from her and head to team sevens old training ground where the rookie nine plus Gai team stood hugging each other which I soon joined.
"This is it guys, we've gone this far with each other and I'll be the first to say it was great to be your friend. We've lost some and gained some but no matter what happens we stand strong for us and Kohona. And if you don't come I'll kick your ass!"
"Nice Naruto. Listen everyone here means the world to me and Naruto's right, we've gone through a lot together and even if some of us don't come home I'll know that no one here dies in vain. We will protect Kohona and everyone it with our lives because its what sarutobi, Asuma, Jiyara, Kakashi, Hiashi and everyone else whose died for this village would want."
We all bow our heads thinking of the ones we've lost but my father's face takes over my vision but Neji's holds me close to him as I take comfort in him.
"Alright, this is where we split up, Kiba, lee, Tenten, and Chouji will be taking the second wave, Me and Sai, will be in the first, Sakura and Ino will be in the back wave to heal and Shikamaru from the planning station. Hinata will be going to mist to take on cloud with Neji and Shino and the rest of the hyuuga's so good luck you guys and I'll meet you back here after it's done."
We say our last goodbyes as I transport the hyuuga's that are fighting to mist.
"Hinata…" I bring myself closer to Neji to sooth him worries but it only exceeds them.
"So my old friend has found love, I'm glad."
"Indeed Mizukage-sama, our Hinata has found someone to stop her from getting into trouble."
"My boy you better take good care of our girl and by the way I'm the Mizukage and this is Yodo. We are the people who will kick your ass if you hurt her." I laugh and shake my head before I'm glomped.
"My fiancée has returned to me! You must have suffered with out me beside my honey!"
"Baka, Hinata-sama is the commanding nin you can't do that!" I smile and Hug Yuki and I pull Naoya into a hug as well.
"I want you three to be careful and pay attention out there, understood?"
"Who the hell are you!" I sigh at Kira's one track mind.
"I'm her real fiancé boy." I sense Kira get nervous as he sees Neji in his anbu captain uniform.
Then
Neji's words clink in and I turn but he kisses me instead.
"Marry
me?"
"Are
you proposing right before a battle Neji Hyuuga?"
'Hai
that way if I lose an arm or something you'll be more inclined to
stay with me." He
smiled against my lips as he kissed me again.
"Just
for that I won't answer until this thing is over."
He held me for a second longer before he turned to the army of Nins behind us.
"All right everyone we need to make this quick so I can get Hinata-chan to marry me understood?" What? Neji you big jerk!
"Hai!" The cheers made me blush as I turned and pouted so they wouldn't see my face. Neji wrapped his arms around my middle and whispered in my ears.
'I love you more then the world, I'll love you till the moon doesn't rise, I'll love you brighter then a million stars, and I'll love in this life and the next thousand.
"Hey get away from my wife!"
"Baka you don't stand a chance against Kohona's anbu captain!"
"Noooo! My wife has left me!"
I smile into Neji moments before the moon rises as I leave his side and attack Cloud with my group.
I make my way into the house I had snuck into countless times and then I find hime's bedroom and her crying softly."
"Your
majesty I'm here."
She crawls out from under the bed and cries into my lap not saying a
word, just sobbing.
"It's
time to go little one."
I pick her up as I put a sleeping jutsu on her so she doesn't see
any more dead bodies as I find the Mizukage standing in front of her
family and the former Kage.
He takes her from my gasp and as we agreed before he would adopt her and raise her with his wife.
My friend beheads all the government as The Kage and I leave the battle field, and I try to look for Neji.
"I'm
sure he's fine Hinata."
When we get to the dead bodies I hear Yuki crying and I rush over to
her as we hug each other.
'Naoya-he
died- he protected me and he's dead, what I'm I going to do- I'm
alone." I felt apart
of me twist and a great emptiness overwhelms as we cry into her. Kira
joins us as he tires to hold back tears but he unsuccessful as me.
Yuki and Kira cling to each other and Yodo comes over to them with
tears in his eyes. Arms wrap around me and hold me tight but I turn
in his embrace and cry into his chest and he breaths in my scent.
I stand there beside Neji who stood tall beside me as we support each other in silent black.
"Chouji, Sai, lee, Kankaru, baki, Anko, Kiba, Tenten-"
They kept listing names of people I had known my whole entire life, people who had been apart my family and I know if it wasn't for him I'd be on the ground balling my eyes out. When it's over, when the rookies left alive gathered and I cried with Ino, sakura and Temari over the ones we've lost before Neji excused us to take me home. I leaned heavily upon him as he wrapped an arm around my middle and offered everything he had to comfort me. When I reached my bedroom door he went to leave but I hung on and dragged him onto my bed where I cuddled into him trying to find some warmth on a day like this.
"Neji?"
"Hai?"
"Never leave me."
'I promise."
