Inspired By: . . . Nothing besides the sucky-ness of the last chap SORRY
Comments:begs: Forgive me for the last chap! That sucked MAJOR hairy balls. Oh, I'm ganna prolly end this in this chap. And it prolly won't be happy D
Rant: You know, I remember a time when I CARED about what I wrote. When I actually TRIED to write well. But, for some reason, I haven't been trying lately, I just type NONSENSE and put it up, I mean, all my other stuff isn't to great so what does it matter, right? WRONG! Augh, the reason I got like is because, even though I tried not too, I got a swelled head. AND IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU BITCHES! D You kept telling me how great stuff was and how I should stop saying they suck and shite. And it got to me! And I didn't want it too! I've told myself for the LONGEST time I would be like those people who get so wrapped up in themselves that they forget the reason they're writing. For the READERS. See, I go and read something for half a year ago and it actually drew me in and I had to read it all the way through, even though I knew the FUCKING end! Ugh, anyways, I'm ganna try harder now. I promise. SaraFu flamed me back into shape. . . . If you're still reading this rant. . . I LOVE YOU. And, please, FOR THE LOVE OF SHIKANEJI, Tell me if something irks you. Even if it's just some little thing someone says. TELL ME! And don't sugar it up either. It makes me go to the dark side. And that's a scary place. :shivers:
. . . Oh, And I'm planning on writing more of this couple in the future :heart: If you still want me.

The End
----------
"You've gone to long with out your medication. You're vision has almost no chance of returning," A pause followed, in which Sakura fidgeted nervously, not liking that someone who –supposedly- was blind could glare so well. "I'm sorry." She took a step back, waiting for the Nin to attack her.
Neji's fingers griped the edge of the steel table he was sitting on tightly. "What do you mean. 'Almost no chance'?" He leaned forward, glaring more harshly.
Sakura gulped and glanced and the other in the room who had his head turned towards the window before turning back to Neji. "I mean, it would be a medical miracle if it came back. But, be assured," She forced herself to smile despite the other not being able to see it. "We have a great rehabilitation center where they can help you hone your other senses further." Sakura's eye flicked to the other again. "Shikamaru, how are your headaches?"
Neji twitched at how smoothly the woman had changed the topic.
Shikamaru flipped a last hand in Sakura's direction. "Fine. Advil helps sometimes." He shifted and his head cocked to the side, eyes locking with Sakura's.
Sakura's eyes widened. "You got your-"
"Yea, I got some more after you suggested it." Shikamaru placed a finger near his lips while he spoke and flicked his gaze at Neji briefly.
"Oh," Sakura's covered her mouth momentarily before dropping her hand and shuffling her papers around. "Well, I think you should stay for a while longer so we can talk," She caught his gaze again. "More about your headaches. Okay?"
Shikamaru turned back to the window. "Tch, mendóo na." He glanced at the man to his right. "You okay with going home alone?"
Neji crossed his arms and scooted off the raised table, then made his way from the room angrily.
They paused waiting till Neji's chakra was far enough away then Shikamaru spoke first. "Hurry, I don't like leaving him alone for too long." His eyes flicked away from the door to the woman.
"How?" Was her first question.
"I mixed up my Advil and his medicine. I've been taking it for a while now and my vision has been coming back slowly but it's here completely now." Shikamaru looked away as if ashamed. "I don't want him to know. He was the one that wanted his sight back, I didn't really care." His eyes flicked to Sakura briefly. "It's not fair to him."
-----
"I want to go on a mission."
"I don't think that's wise."
"Why? Because I can't see?"
"Yes."
"Then you can come with me. You can see."
"No I –"
"Don't lie to me!"
". . . . Fine."
"We're going on an ANBU mission."
"No."
"We were ANBU before so we're going on an ANBU mission. I can function just fine without my eyes."
Shikamaru held Neji's unseeing steady gaze, not wanting to give in but knew he would. "Why don't we do some smaller missions then work up to ANBU?"
Neji's expression changed just slightly. "No. I have to go on an ANBU mission."
The slight tone difference the nin had in his voice clued Shikamaru in on why he was avid to go on an ANBU mission. "Why do you want to go on that kind of mission? Like you said, you do just fine without your eyes."
"Because," It looked for a moment like Neji wasn't going to continue. "I'm not fine without them. I'm not a Hyuuga without them. My clan disowned me when they found out that my eyes were gone. Even Hinata won't look at me." His head dipped down. "It's shameful."
With the last two words Shikamaru lost, he knew they would go on the mission whether he liked it or not.
"But," Neji continued. "You don't have to come. You still have a life to live, after all."
-----
They ducked in and out of trees, chasing their targets with ease. The targets were 'S' rank but the two chasers had nothing to lose.
Finally they stopped in a field, ready to fight.
Twelve against two.
Neji smirked.
He liked those odds.
-----
A kunai struck Shikamaru in the side but he just jerked it out roughly –blood flying- and sent it soaring at the enemy, striking him in the eye and sank in deep.
Shikamaru didn't have time to celebrate though; another Nin was coming at him from behind.
-----
Neji was still smiling behind his mask.
He was sparing with his katana to the right and fends another off from the left, occasionally sinking kunai or shuriken into others that wanted to join.
He had a deep gash in his stomach and a bone was sticking out of his right shin but he still had time.
But not much.
-----
There were only two left.
Shikamaru and Neji were leaning against each other, panting.
Shikamaru's left arm was useless, he had a deep cut across his chest and he was pretty sure he had a shuriken stuck in his spine, but he wasn't sure.
Neji was the same as before except now he was swaying dangerously due to blood lose and his senses where fading in and out. He could be attacked now and wouldn't even know.
"So, how are you?" Shikamaru managed. His vision was failing again and he doubted that the other could talk. His chakra was so weak.
"Fine." Neji attempted to chuckle but blood bubbled from his lips and trailed down from the corner of his lips.
Shikamaru scanned the field before his sight left completely. Bodies were all around them but he counted twelve. Ha. They completed their mission after all. "That's good."
"Shi. . . Do me a –" He started hacking, blood spurting from past his lips. "Do me a favor, Shi." He continued in a weaker voice, red running down his chin.
Shikamaru turned in his direction, only the center of his vision left. "What?" He reached up and weakly brushed some hair from Neji's face with his right hand.
They both slid to the ground, still touching the other.
". . . me." Neji's voice was weak, and the first word didn't make it past his lips. He tried again, licking blood from his lips. "Kiss me."
Shikamaru almost passed out for a moment and pushed past it and cupped Neji's face gently with his one good hand and leaned forward, kissing the man tenderly, ignoring the tangy, coppery taste.
Neji's blank eyes slipped closed and he pressed back softly, then went lax, blood still gushing past the fingers clamped over his stomach.
Shikamaru pulled away and laid the body on its back.
And as the darkness gripped him, he saw the sun shine over the field and multiple white birds burst from the trees.
Then, he was gone.
----------
I'm laughing hysterically right now.
HA! Instead of just killing Shika, I killed Neji too!
:brick'd:
:shields self: NUUUU. Dun hurt me!
:cower:cower:
:points above: IT'S dramatic! AND they took out TWELVE 'S' ranked Nin!! It was a happy ending!!
:cough:cough:
Yea. . . . Sorry. :bows humbly: Neji couldn't live with out his eyes. If you don't like my ending, pretend it didn't happen and make your own.
. . . . Or just ignore the last part and pretend that they got saved. (Thou they didn't really)
Lawlz
First I make you wait, then I give you a sad ending, Gomen nasai but that story was rather mendóo na. Sooooz. Yea . . .
I Love you all! And I pity you for actually waiting for this chap. . . If you did, that is!
