Hey! Sorry another short chapter… I was going to continue writing, but it was taking me so long to type out a scene that I decided to post this up first and get feedbacks
Enjoy 3
Neji sighed into the dark of the night. The stars were twinkling happily and the moon shined with unparallel joy, seemly celebrating the return of Kagome as they had. The Hyuga family had prepared a feast that night, celebrating the regurn of Kagome. She was possibly the only person alive that didn't have the status of a 'Kage' that received such a warm welcome from his family even though she didn't possess their trademark milky white eyes. Try as they might, nobody was able to stay mad at the cheerful and bubbly girl that Kagome had been when she was younger. And that same feeling stayed with them even as Kagome had matured into something completely different from what she was.
He narrowed his eyes. Yes, he was positive that she had on a façade in front of his uncle, Hinata's father, at dinner. Even without his byakugan he could easily see through the forced laugh and the fake smiles that she had flashed everybody, even if his uncle couldn't, not willing to believe that the girl that was once so full of life could be so broken.
After dinner she had retreated into her room, the one that no one had tempered with after her mother had left for the man that she loved and impregnated her. Kagome's mother, Kun-loon, had stayed with her family throughout her pregnancy and was planning on leaving to find her lover after Kagome was born. But as fates would have it, she had been weakened from giving birth and by the time she had regained enough strength, Kagome had been well attached to both him and Hinata. It was the best years that he had ever had. His father and uncle were both smitten with the adorable baby and his uncle had treated him as part of the main branch family whenever Kagome was in sight, which was most of the time as Hinata and he were her favorite playmates. It wasn't until after she left that the horrors of being in the branch family fell upon him.
Seeing where the direction of his thoughts was turning, he banished them. Turning his mind, instead, on how Kagome had turned out the way she had. He knew that she must have been put under extreme pressures that even most Konoha ninjas and captured missing-nins hadn't been put through, for only those who had survived the kyuubi attack so many years ago had turned out looking as haunted as she did. And her mother supposedly brought her into a world of peace and safety!
Sighing, he slowly closed his eyes, knowing that even though he wouldn't be able to take back her past, or even take away her pain, but now that she was back with him, he would try his best to make her life as simple and carefree as was allowed in this village.
Nodding once, as if to cement his promise to himself, he slowly rose up from his meditation and turned indoors, back into his room.
