Ok, here is chapter 2. I know the last chapter sort of lacked….action, in a way. Though, I promise you that this chapter will have a bit more. Perhaps I'll have this story have a few more chapters, instead of just 2, so it's not speeding through some areas. I was listening to "Come clean" While writing this, so it had some influence.

Well, hope you enjoy it anyway. I'll advise you all to check the rating after awhile, to make sure whether it's gone up or not. It probably will after this chapter. Just a warning.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto characters. I am merely borrowing them to play. I'll put them back once I'm done, Promise. ;

Chapter 2

…Or perhaps he was. Hinata's fallen form reflected in Neji's cold, empty eyes as he stood there. Silence engulfed the two, the mere blow of the breeze as it brushed fallen leaves drifted throughout. The small detail of how her blunt nails seemed to want to claw away the boards underneath her didn't go unnoticed. Her pale, exposed, shoulders shook slightly as she tried to control herself. He watched, silently, with an aloof expression.

It struck. All across the sky, a lightening bolt made an entrance followed shortly after with ruthless rain that beat down upon the earth. The loud roar of thunder shook the ground along with its inhabitants, showing its arrival. Humans rushed to seek shelter, as they scurried from one street to the next until finally reaching their destination.

They stayed still, neither one daring to move. He merely continued to look down upon her fallen form, as she clutched her side. He knew not of what she was going through, though but her pained expression, something was indeed wrong. He could hear her rugged breaths clearly, along with the rain drops that fell and scattered across the ground just outside. He wasn't quick to move to her side. It was only when she made an attempt to stand, only to sway slightly, did he walk to her side.

It hurt. This pain that constricted at her side brought tears to her eyes that threatened to spill over. Small gasps escaped her lips before dizziness overwhelmed her, and the need to vomit was increasing. She clamped a hand over her mouth, before snapping her head up when the light touch of fingers on her shoulder was felt. Her eyes locked with Neji's.

She couldn't quite read the emotions on his face, but when could she ever, as he looked down upon her. He gripped her shoulder just hard enough to make her wince, before pulling her up to her feet. Her legs felt shaky, but she managed to stand on her own when he let go. Her hand slowly fell to her side, the feeling of throwing up here and now vanishing. She blinked up tiredly before lowering her gaze to the floor. She knew what was wrong, and had kept it hidden from everyone for quite awhile. Though she knew it wouldn't last long before someone took notice of her absence at the breakfast table, or her ever growing stomach.

However, Neji was the last person she wanted to let know. Much less be the first person to know of her carefully hidden secret. She feared of the harsh words he'd toss at her without a second thought, and the fallen respect he'd have of her once he'd know. Though none of it compared to the disappointed look her father would give her, or the beating she knew awaited. Memories of that fated night flashed across her eyes. The passion…The lust…Lack of control….Everything contributed to the state she was in now.

She took a chance, and peered up at the older boy that she knew was watching. She had felt his eyes bore holes into her body, and could take it no longer. As she expected, he was watching her. Though the intensity of his stare caused her body to tense. Every detail then became acute to her eyes. The way raven strands of hair fell upon the pale skin of his face…The way the collar of his shirt was open just enough to show a small proportion of creamy skin…The way his body seemed to be a lot closer then it probably was…and his silence was unnerving. Though it didn't last long.

"Are you quite done with staring at me?"

Hinata's face flushed at his question, and her gaze lifted up to his face. Slight amusement was hidden within his eyes, though she managed to catch it. Her mouth opened, though her words dried upon her tongue instantly. Her breath caught in her throat. She couldn't believe she was thinking of Neji, her cousin, in such a manner. Though no matter how much she pushed those thoughts away…they always returned. Her eyes widened when he neared closer and extended a hand out toward her face.

The fleeting touch of his fingers brushing against her cheek made her face flush more then it already was. She stared back at his face and his eyes locked with hers just before lowering and drawing nearer. She sucked in a breath when she felt his lips touch the skin of her neck. Her mind panicked. She couldn't understand what he was doing, or WHY for that matter. She could only stand there, as his lips traveled up her neck till they reached her jaw line. Her eyes closed tight as she was backed up against the wall and his body pressed against her own fragile one.

Her breaths came out rugged as the feeling of his hands wandering and the pit of her stomach heating up engulfed her. Though, they were silenced once his pale lips covered hers.

"Hinata…"

Her eyes opened to find the warmth of his body gone, and his still form standing the same three feet away. She was no longer pressed against the wall, but was standing in the same spot as before. She blinked as she tried to comprehend what had happened. Her hand reached up and touched her lips before looking up at him. He had the same aloof expression as usual, but he was staring at her oddly. It was then did she realize…she had imagined it all up. He had never reached out to her, nor pressed his body against hers… it had it been all but an illusion.

"Hinata."

His cold voice brought her out of her thoughts long enough to look up at him. "H-hai." He stared back at her for a few lingering moments before responding.

-----End of chapter 2------

Well, there's chapter 2. Eh, I bet you all hate me because I ended it there. I'll answer any question in chapter 3, and probably some will be answered in the story itself.

Hope you guys liked it.
