Something New

I turn to see Neji, and I smile. He begins to walk over and sits next to me, and I move closer to him.

"I'm scared."

I say for he already knows I am worried. We are starting the fourth ninja war after all.

"Hinata"

I hear the serious tone in his voice and look over to see Neji looking at me, as if studying me.

" Yes Neji"

I say and wonder what he has to say.

" Hinata I know you love Naruto, and you proved it more than anyone could ever prove.

I wanted to know if your feelings could ever change. I want you to be honest with me Hinata."

I hear Neji and I know I do love Naruto, but I know if he did love me he would have came for me by now. When I was being healed by Sakura I was in a temporaily coma. Even then I knew I couldn't get Naruto and I probably can't anymore, but Neji he was there. I remember he was one of the first ones to visit me and make sure I was alright. I know he tried to kill me, but he was corrupted by pain and hurt. He never blamed me afterwards either ,even though if anything I was all to blame.

Wait why is Neji even asking me this?

I was hurt and could have been killed. I remember Neji lecturing me about not doing anything dangerous that could kill me ever again.

"Hinata did you hear me?"

I turn and see Neji beginning to look away.

" Neji I will answer if you tell me... why?

Why ask me this?"

" I will I promise."

I hear Neji.

" I did love Naruto but he doesn't love me ,and I refuse to keep on chasing a dream that I know will end up with both of us hurt. I can only hope to get over this Neji. Thats all to do now. Now you tell me why did you ask me."

I say and I see Neji bring a finger up to my face, and he wipes tears off of my face. I didn't even realize I was crying.

" Hinata when this is all over, with both of us alive I promise to come back here. If we both live through this I will want to marry you, and I know this is something you now have to burden on your mind. I have always loved you for a long time now and I kept on trying to hide it, but I realized when I saw you hurt I couldn't. I know you may still hate me for this, but I love you. Even if I don't live through this I will wish for your happiness Hinata."

Neji moves closer and kisses my forehead.

" When we are out into battle I will protect you I promise, and you will see a cruel side of me. If you still find it in your heart after all of this I will want to marry you. I know I am not who you love, but I will help you get over this all."

"Neji"

I say with tears in my eyes. I have never known this.

" I promise to."

Neji looks as if he is looking into a treasure box of gold.

I feel like I can start all over again now, and be happy.

"Goodbye, for now my Hinata."

And with that Neji is gone in a flash.

I begin to walk to my house wondering all about this, and head home.

When entering my home I go straight for my room for tomorrow will be the start of this all. I look over to see a letter on my table top and go to read it.

Dear Hinata,

I feel like I should thank you for what you did for me.

I also want to thank you for your feelings, but I cannot return them.

Forgive me Hinata, but I hope you can be happy after this is all over.

I wish I had more to say, but it took me 6 hours to just write these 4 sentenctes.

From,

Naruto.

I smile with tears.

Maybe me and Neji can be.

No we can.

Because I believe when this is over something new will begin.

And no I did not get the title from High School musical it just sounded right.
