Another short one, but for good reason this time! I'll really ill, and not feeling great, to this is what you get! Honestly, I might expand on this and make it into a proper multi-chapter fanfiction. Would anybody be interested in reading that? Enjoy!
He wouldn't really consider himself a guardian angel.
He wasn't much of a guardian, really. Merely a watcher of specific people, and giving them a hand once or twice. And he couldn't even give much of a hand, really. Only influence emotions slightly, or move things a little bit. Nothing major.
But he was helping.
Neji had died due to a cruel twist of fate in the war, but he didn't mind. He had lived well, and died protecting someone important.
But, his family weren't doing so well.
Not Hinata or Hanabi, they were doing great. Hinata had married Naruto, and Hanabi was becoming a fine kunoichi.
No, it was Lee and Tenten that were the most troublesome. Why? Because they wouldn't get together!
Even in life, Neji had noticed Lee's infatuation with Tenten, and vice versa. It was obvious, but the two refused to act on it. Lee was too focused on training, while Tenten was too focused on pointy things.
A match made in heaven.
And it had taken a long, long time to get them together. Many awkward candlelight dinners, many romantic walks through the park. It almost drove the man to the brink of insanity at the amount of time it took for them to get together.
The wedding was beautiful.
It truly was a spectacle of green and white, a mix of wonderful colours and sheer passion and love.
It was the most beautiful thing Neji had ever witnessed.
Afterwards, they had walked to his grave, and said a few things. He didn't hear them, nor did he want to.
He merely smiled.
For the man he thought of as a little, annoying brother, and the woman who occasionally made him smile, he truly felt content that they were now together.
He felt the tingling on the back of his neck as he watched from behind the oak tree, not that he needed to,of course, they couldn't see him. It added a sense of realism to it, though.
But, the tingling meant that time was up. He was truly going now.
With a genuine smile, he walked up to the two, and embraced them in a hug. While they could not feel a thing, he felt everything.
And, with one final look at the couple, Neji disappeared from the mortal plane forever.
And, as the newly married couple walked away, linked hands, a white dove flew over Neji's grave and into the bright blue sky.
