A/N~ Okay, I'm bored, so I started writing again, and stroke of genius. Haha... pun intended.
Neji's POV, when Team Guy returns to the village to see it destroyed. (After Pein hurts Hinata.) Enjoy.
Perfect Moments
2: Good Riddance
"Hinata-sama!" Neji knelt down next to the heiress and checked her pulse. Low. Very low. If he didn't act quickly, she would most certainly die.
Heh, Good Riddance.
He'd be free of that curse mark, free of the undeniable fate that had been set for him by birth.
A smile spread across his lips.
"Is she okay?" Reality, right. Pokerface. Concerned pokerface. Tenten ran to his side and tried to shake the young heiress awake. "Hinata, Hinata, come on!" Her wide brown eyes turned to his, asking for an answer.
"Right. I'll find a medical ninja." He activated his Byakugan and mock-searched.
It's not that he didn't find one, it's that he didn't want to. One here. One there. Another there. No, plenty medics to be found. The Hyuuga just kept remembering his goal: freedom. Unlocked cage. Freedom. Unlocked cage.
He waited for this moment. He dreamt of this moment.
"Neji!" Tenten's voice broke his thoughts.
His malicious thoughts.
Realization struck. His conscience whirred. Right or wrong. It all depended on how you see it, he thought. Right for me, or right for her?
His conscience couldn't seem to pick.
My dreams, or my cousin's life? That helped his conscience out. Easy choice, now. He wished he hadn't said that.
"Neji!"
"There's Sakura…" Neji waved to the pinkette, and she came rushing over. He stood so the kunoichi could take his place next to the heiress.
Later, he silently cursed himself for hesitating on what to do. Now that he thought about it, that was incredibly stupid of him. Selfish.
No doubt karma would come and get him now in the form of a kunai knife at his throat.
But he guessed nobody would come to his rescue. Good Riddance.
A/N~ Yeah, see? Neji CAN be angsty! And wishing Death upon yourself can't be any MORE angstier.
...unless...
My next victim is Itachi! Squee!
Reviews are awesome...
