A/N: Reminder to everyone that this is a DRABBLE series. Chapters are short. :P The only requirement I have for them is over 100 words. This one is 423ish. :P
With a yell, the clones charged forward, all of them seemed a little upset or angry, and all were ready to take Neji down. Soon, the first one made it and the others slowed.
It seemed unfair to him to over power someone with multiple people. And so, many stood back while one at a time attacked. Neji dodged kicks and punches, easily avoiding any hits while not giving any of his own.
"Dang it. I can't catch up with him." A clone said and Kagome felt her hope waver.
"I told you I'm not such a fool, didn't I?" Neji asked, a smug smile on his face. Kagome felt strangely repelled by this Neji. Over confident and full of hate. He felt wrong to her.
Neji shot forward, weaving through clones before he attacked one in the back. "This body has the least attacks, due to fear of it's chakra points being hit. The more you attack, the more that one body becomes clearly evident." His deep voice made Kagome lick her lips. She wished she had waited until after she tasted him to tell him the truth, at the moment.
Even without Gin's chakra, she wanted to know what sounds he would have made. Just imagining it made her feel giddy. She blushed at the direction of her thoughts and forced them away while she watched.
"You're the real one." Neji said as Naruto coughed up blood, several of the clones poofing away.
"Naruto-kun..." Hinata said from behind her, and Kagome felt the glimmer of hope fade even more.
Of course he couldn't fight fate, it was unfair of her to wish him to do so in her stead. He was fighting for Hinata, not her.
