It was slightly chilly, signifying autumn very much here. It was very fitting for one blue haired woman as she headed into the cemetery.
She makes her way to the section where her family lays.
She kneels in front of a familiar white tombstone that had an angel statue attached to it.
She traced the name that was on the stone with her fingers. As she conjures the will to speak.
"Hello Neji-ni-san. It's been awhile hasn't it" she whispers. For an instant it felt like the wind ruffled her hair.
She gives a sad smile. "I miss you so much Neji. I still cannot believe your gone. You should be here".
She sobs, as feeling of warmth wraps around her torso. Almost like a hug.
"I'm with Ino now. She makes me happy ni-san. I love her. Speaking of happy couples, I wish you could of attended Naruto's and Tenten's wedding".
She pauses. "It was so beautiful. Tenten had one this lovely dark green princess style dress that had a v-neck. She wore her hair down. Though the dresses we had to wear were pretty but green doesn't suit me well. Now it looked lovely on Ino thou. Oh, and Naruto cried ni-san. I do believe they make each other so happy. I am glad for that".
She giggles. "When Tenten went to throw the bouquet, though for some reason it landed on Kakashi-sama's head. Then Naruto went to throw the garter belt, and it bounced of Kurenai-sensei and smacked Guy-sensei in the face. The look on their faces was priceless" she laughs.
The air around her felt like someone else was laughing to.
She huffed " I must be going crazy cause it feels like your laughing. I bet you had something to do with that. You know it's not nice to meddle. Though they have been dancing around each other for years".
It felt like the wind shrugged. This cause Hinata to giggle more.
"I must be losing my mind but I swear it feels like your here, like the wind is you. I hope your happy ni-san wherever you are. Your free now" a small sobbed slip out.
Her hair gets ruffled again. She cries out loudly. Biting her lip hard.
"I am going to propose to Ino tonight. We have been together for three months now. I know that's not long but..I haven't be so sure about anything as much as I have about this. I wish you could of gotten married..maybe even had some kids. I could imagine you as a big softie around them" she gives a sad chuckle.
The air around her grows sad. She sits there in silence. Sighing as she places some white lilies on his grave. "Goodbye for now ni-san".
She turns to walk away. I miss you to, Hinata. She stops and sobbed happily. She knew wind couldn't talk but she didn't care. It sounded like Neji had one last thing to say and that made her happy.

Hinata goes to her friend Shino. She needed something of his for her proposal. The bug lover was outside playing with his nephews as usual.
"Hey Shino-kun. I have a favor to ask of you" she stated. He looks up at her. Well at least she thinks he did. It was hard to tell sometimes with his dark shades.
"How may I be of service?" he inquires.
"I would like to borrow some fireflies for the night" she replies.
"Okay sounds fine but why if you don't mind me asking?" the bug lover states.
Hinata blushes slightly "I am going to propose to Ino with them".
Shino smiles (though you couldn't see it because of his high collar). "Congratulations Hinata, why because you both deserve this happiness" he says.
She thanks him and continues to go get everything ready.
Everything had to be perfect.

Ino was visiting Shikamaru. Through the shadow user wasn't to happy to be awoke from his nap.
"So how have you and Hinata been?" the brunet asks.
"Very well. She makes me so happy Shika. You advice help a lot" she exclaims.
He smiles at her. "See I told you so. Never give up any opportunity of happiness. No matter how troublesome it is" he states.
This causes Ino to giggle. "Your so right. So what's it like being married to Temari?" she asks.
Shikamaru sighed "She is a troublesome woman. But I love her and I am glad I am married to her".
Ino smiles at him. " I am glad. Though sorry I had to miss your guy's wedding. Hinata was sick and I had to run the shop" she replies.
He shrugs "It's okay I understand". Though it was clear he had been hurt a little by it.
Ino goes quiet for a minute before she says "If I ever get married, would you like to walk me down the aisle? Since..my father isn't around and I have no siblings".
"...". Silence. He coughs and looks at her "I am so honored that you asked. Of course I will".
Ino could tell that he was choked up about this. It meant a lot to her teammate.
Suddenly a timid knock sounds at the door. "Oh hey Hinata" Shikamaru says. Ino comes up to the door "Is something wrong?".
Hinata shakes her head "No but I need you to come with me".
Ino says her goodbyes to Shikamaru and walks away with the bluenette. Who was fidgeting more than usual.
"Close your eyes" her love demands. Ino shrugs but closes them. What is going on?
Hinata grabs her hand and body flickers to their destination.

"Okay you can open them now" the blue haired woman states.
The blonde glances around her in awe. There was candles all around the room. In one of the corners was a blanket that had a variety of food presented on it.
"It's so beautiful Hinata, but why here?" Ino couldn't help but ask.
Her bluenette smiles. "This room was where we first proclaimed our love for one another. So its only fitting for this.." her love trails of as she opens a jar of something.
Fireflies lit up the room with a simple message. Will you marry me Ino?
Ino gasps as Hinata gets down on one knee. She had a box that had a ring in it. The ring was gold and had two purple amethyst framing a diamond that was shape in a heart.
"What do you say?" the bluenette asks. Ino pounces on the bluenette. "Yes a thousand times yes" she exclaims.
Hinata wraps her arms tightly around her tenshi. Soon she will be my wife. Wife that will take some getting use to.
"Hinata..I have a question... Are you going to take my last name or.." Ino trails off not really sure how to proceed.
"I will be taking your last name if that's alright with you tenshi" the bluenette replies.
Her blonde broke out into a large grin and nodded.
They spent the rest of that night celebrating their engagement.
