Well at school we were doing a memory of something we really regret and well I remember a time when I mean to this girl when I was 5. Yea I know I still remember too, but to fit the story I am going to be the guy in here which I am not of course also the whole finding that person is a deep thing and I will explain at end of story. One-shot enjoy. (maybe 2-shot not sure.)

Difference

Running on the soft white layer of snow, I don't reallly know why I am running. I am looking everywhere, the gardens,sheds, streets, and now the woods. I am breathing hard, and I feel like this happened before. But the thing is I can't remember. I look around a few evergreens, but see nothing. It isn't until I find her that I remember where I remember this from.

Hmph, I still remember even after 11 years...

It was a stupid childish game now that I think back of it, a simple game of tag.

It was at the Hyuga compound, and all the branch member children wanted to play tag.

Then Hinata came running wanting to play. Saying

"Um, can I play with you guys?"

I hear a small voice say. When I turned around I say Hinata bearly 4 years old. I get so angry maybe because I am angry, but deep down I know I am not angry. If anything I realized I could have been her, and if I were her I really don't know. Being cursed such a fate, but then aren't we all cursed? When my father was killed to protect her and her family though, I buried away all of those feelings. After then this hate became so easy, but it always felt wrong.

"No"

I say scolding as hard a 5 year old can.

"But-"

"No- don't you get just leave me alone; go disappear for all I care."

I looked back to see her still thier. All the other kid nodding in agreement, carry our sign of hatred on our foreheads, except her.

I begin to tell everyone the instructions but she is still thier. Everyone soon runs off throughout the nearby woods,town shops, and the compound. I am the only one who can use my Byakugan so I don't even bother activating. After counting for a 1 minute, I look around and don't her anymore.

Good

I try the woods first and walk until I hear a crying sound. I quickly look to see if anyone was injured. Someone was injured, but not the way I thought of the word 'injured'.

She was by a lake crying. She was hiding. It only took me a moment to reach this conclusion.

I suddenly felt guilty and wanted to do something, but what?

I remember we were very close, but things changed. They always do. It was easy to stay away from her, an excuse.

I stayed for I don't know how long maybe a few seconds, minutes, houre, but I don't know. She suddeny turned to me and I stepped back suprised at myself.

Was I scared?

We stood thier together. Just looking into our eyes hers of sadness and mine of hatred.

Okay the explanation. I was like 5 and thier was this girl who had a skin diease and everyone made fun of her about it. I had the same thing too, but it wasn't horrible like hers. I ddin't think what she had was a big deal, but the other kids did and I joined in. I avoided her and I didn't know why. I remember one day we were playing a game ( I forgot which game) and didn't include her. Later I saw her crying, and I didn't do anything and left. I meet her again in middle school, and felt guilty and began a conversation. She is one of the best friends I have now. Okay my ranting done I don't like love her in that way, more of a best friend way. In the story Neji realizes he shouldn't be mean to her he could be her for all he knows.
