To be honest, Neji hates causing trouble for others.

He'd felt horrible after the Chunin exam prelims, after causing all that trouble for Hinata-sama, although he didn't let it show.

Somehow, no matter how much he tried to not be a bother to others, it always ended up happening. He wouldn't be surprised is Hinata-sama and Hanabi-sama and Hiashi-sama all hated him.

In the fight against Kidomaru-he'd nearly gotten himself killed. Not that it was a bad thing in itself, but then people would have to find his corpse, hold a funeral, mourn, put his name on the memorial, everything. Just way too many more problems than if he came back half-dead.

He'd like to just die, at times. Get out of everyone's life, stop bothering others.

But it would still cause too much trouble.


Thought up in ENGLISH CLASS AGAIN. Why must the writing gods hit me with an idea in the middle of English class anyways?

The sad thing is, I realized that this fiction piece is longer than the formal paragraph I was supposed to be drafting that class. How sad...and I typed it up and uploaded it in English class too. Argh. My luck, desu neee? It's a sorta drabble, but slightly longer than it should be. That's okay...I suppose.

And why problems? Because I thought it sounded more...appropriate than trouble. xD

No, I don't own 'Naruto', yes, this is OOC and relatively bad angst writing.

Reviews would be greatly appreciated!
