Thanks to all those that reviewed! I appreciate it. I'm not sure how much chapters this story is going to have but I'll continue this story and see what happens. I was actually shocked to see that it had about 14 alerts and I couldn't believe it.

I wasn't sure what to do with this chapter but it might change the course of the story.

Chapter 4- "Neji's Frustration With Sadness"

Neji began running again as he moved on to the next town, and the next one over. He began thinking that if he came back empty handed that Hiashi was never going to let him forget what he did. He had to find her. He ran around and began panicking as he kept trying to find her and bringing her home. It began to rain as Neji stopped and look out in the distance.

'Why did I have to do this?' thought Neji as he closed his eyes, he sighed heavily. 'I'm already in trouble and I can't even find her, I didn't think she would actually run away...'

Neji took off again as he reached another area, he realized that there was more paths than he wanted to go through but he began going through some and realized that he was still winding around in circles and decided to cut through the shortest one and he ended up more lost than he was before. He growled in frustration as he continued to try and find a way out as his byakugan picked up an item that was a few feet away, Hinata had been running when she dropped her necklace.

Neji examined the necklace as he looked into the distance, the rain poured harder as he stood there emotionless. He didn't know what to do, regret was slowly starting to creep in when he began walking slowly. Hiashi was never going to get over this and coming back empty handed would make him angry, he was worried about Hinata and he feared she would never be found again and was lost somewhere. Neji kept walking. He tried to remember about something Hinata said to give him a hint of where she was and none came to him.

Rustling was heard as Neji slowly moved forward toward the sound, he saw someone run as he took after the shadow. Something was going and Neji was going to find out what it was, the shadow escaped him as he went after it. Before he could finally reach it, it disappeared. Neji came out of the forest to find himself tripping into sand. He had reached a coastline, he scanned every area and realized he was seeing more than one island.

He began thinking Hinata was on one of them.

Neji got through another forest as he explored the first island, he was getting tired of searching but still kept going and began looking. Hinata was on the island that was surrounded by harsh seas and was surrounded by water, Neji sighed and jumped up to a better view. He spotted something. It was Naruto, glanced down and saw him struggling with moving things.

Instant jealousy struck Neji as he watched Naruto go back to Hinata and kissed her, it only meant that Neji had feelings for her and they had come back. Naruto began noticing that something was there, he growled and walked toward the shadows but realized that it moved.

'Somethin's goin' on...' thought Naruto. 'It better not be who I think it is...'

Hinata ran up and hugged Naruto as she looked at him with concern. "Did you see something..?" Hinata looked around and the thought from the back of her head came in. 'I can feel him, I know Neji's there...I'm not going back with him...I just can't...'

Naruto went back to work as Hinata had panic in her eyes. "Hinata...Someone is there, I don't who it is yet but I'm not lettin' you out of my sight...It could be dangerous..."

Hinata looked down, she could sense her cousin's chakra presence. Naruto was still guessing at who the person was, Hinata already knew who it was and she knew that Neji was going to be mad at her for running away. She sat away from Naruto as he watched closely.

Neji couldn't believe it, he thought Hinata was alone but he knew her feelings for Naruto and it was obvious as he saw them cuddle together. Neji thought they'd never get together because Hinata was way too shy to express emotions. He was wrong and Hinata began to wonder away from Naruto as he got in the position to go near Hinata.

He jumped out as Hinata looked up at him, she couldn't believe it. She had the right sense and she began to run off as Neji grabbed her back, she hit him as Neji hold tightened.

"What are you doing here?!?!" Hinata snapped, she lost her gentle look and glared. "I was fine...until you decide to show up and try to take me away from Naruto!"

Neji glared at her. "If I don't get you home now, Lord Hiashi will punish me further. I'm already expecting it anyway, it would be in your best interest if you left this place..."

Hinata got out of his grip as Neji grabbed her back. 'I can't believe this! I'm not going back! I had every right to run away from my house, Neji is going to make the same mistake...'

Naruto came running as he got Hinata away from Neji, he wasn't going to leave so easily. He was going to be in trouble even more if he came back empty handed, if he had to do it by force than he was going to do it that way. Hinata looked down and clenched her fists as Naruto held her back.

Naruto glared as he got closer to Neji. "It's your fault why she's here!!! You're the one that decided that...Oh, I'm going to beat my cousin, taunt her, and everythin' won't change! She's not goin' home!"

Neji gave a wide look and took Naruto by the collar and made sure his blue eyes met his lavender eyes full of hatred. "Who says you make that decision?!?! If I don't get her home, I could face some serious consequences with Lord Hiashi! She has to go home, it was my duty to bring her home."

Naruto looked up as the two shared a long glare. "Leave her...She thinks that the mistakes you made won't be made up and it's going to happen again, I think it might...Why Neji? Why did you do the things you did?" Neji remained silent as Naruto pushed him. "You damn know well why, tell me!"

"I don't have to tell you that, I think it would be better if we moved from the incident and I just take her home..." Neji replied, Naruto still growled as Hinata watched. "Her father is worried about her."

"He's...a...liar..." Hinata looked down as she remembered what her father said, Naruto gasped. "He said, that he wants nothing to do with me if I can't do what I'm suppose to do...I fell so insecure knowing he said that about me..." Tears hit the ground as Hinata sobbed.

"It's not only that..." Naruto replied. "You're responsible for your actions and look what you did, she doesn't think she can trust you...she's alone and that's what I see..."

Neji shifted back as Naruto took Hinata to the side and comforted her, he was angry and also jealous which made things worst. He wasn't leaving until Hinata returned home, Naruto wanted him to leave so they could forget that anything ever really happened but it wasn't going to go that way.

"Leave, Hinata...Just lea..." Naruto cut Neji off as he glared, Neji had never seen such a glare but decided to shut his mouth before things got too out of hand. Neji remained emotionless.

"Listen to yourself, you just want to do it so your butt can be saved..." Naruto had his back turned as Hinata continued crying. "You should care for how others feel...She needs someone like me and I need someone like her because I'll never do what you did to her, she's the only one that loves me for who I am and I love her for who she is...If you like her than you're too late..."

Neji couldn't believe it, how did he see right through him? "How do you know that, Naruto? It's not true, I'm the one that has to serve the Main House and if she can't get home. I'm dead!"

Naruto looked up and took out his kunai and walked slowly toward Neji. "If we can't solve this any other way..." Naruto paused. "Then you'll have fight me! Hinata derserves better!"

"Fine! See if I care if you get hurt today..." Naruto got in the ready position to fight as Neji got in the advanced stance he always did, Hinata began to panic. Neji was more stronger than Naruto and if he was to be hit by the "Gentle Fist" style more than once, Naruto would be hurt badly and would be in another bad medical situation again. Hinata decided that she wanted to stop the fight.

The two didn't bother, kunai's was the only real way and the two ran toward each other. Blood hit the ground as Hinata put her hands out to stop them, she realized that she wasn't hit.

Naruto and Neji laid in a pool of blood as Naruto breathed harder and clutched his seal. He slowly got up as Neji and him fought on and on, Naruto slashed Neji's arm as he glared. The two fought on until both fell to each other's knees as Naruto grabbed onto Hinata's legs, she saw that Neji did more destructive damage in less time than Naruto. Naruto closed his eyes as tears formed in his eyes.

Neji grabbed Hinata by the hand as Naruto grabbed tighter and was dragged through the mud as he cried out in pain. Hinata thought Naruto was going to die for sure this time, the wound was bigger and it began to bleed through his coat. Neji tried to pull Hinata but she got out of her grip.

"Go home!" Hinata yelled. "Look what you did, Neji...Naruto may die, you're so evil!"

"It's his fault, he challanged me..." Hinata hugged Naruto as he glared at Neji.

"I'm...Not...Done! Let me fight him...Hinata." Naruto got up slowly and fell back down, Hinata realized that Naruto needed a hospital. "I can't believe I'm too weak...to fight..." Naruto began to throw up blood as he began to gasp for air and cry, Hinata hugged him and hit Neji.

"Neji, he's needs medical attention!" Hinata's tear hit the floor as he saw Naruto go in out of being concious. "This is all your fault, you lost you're temper again! Naruto doesn't deserve this..."

"The decsion you should make is to go home!" Neji replied, he looked at Hinata. "You're fate is slowly going downhill because of him! If you stay here anymore then you'll never get out..."

"I'm not leaving Naruto..."

"Hinata..."

"What's more important...His life or you?"

Neji watched Naruto gasp and realized that he was in a bad situation, he wasn't going to admit that it was his fault when it was. Hinata carefully moved Naruto as his eyes showed sadness, they had to move quickly if Naruto was going to get to any hospital. Hinata took Neji's hand.

"We're going the way you came..."

Neji arched his eyebrow. "You still insist on getting him there? Fine. It's still his fault for trying to fight me...He shouldn't have tried..."

"Shut-up, Neji...Naruto is more important than your denial..."

Hinata went to check on Naruto, she saw that he was getting less concious. Hinata already began to picture what it would be like without Naruto and what his funeral would be like. She would never recover if he died, she loved him. Naruto opened his eyes and looked at Hinata with courage, this only made her cry more as she cried on top of Naruto.

The rain lightly hit them as they cried together.

That's Chapter 4, Please R&R
