Prompt 2: Hope is a waking dream.
A/N: School started last Monday. Haaah. But finally found time to here it is…the second prompt from TP..
IT WAS HER
He felt his whole body burn. Like a thousand needles were piercing through his flesh. He could feel every part of him being scorched.
Until he remembered her touch. He remembered how he touched him whenever she was worried. Remembered the way she brushed through him during their training.
The way she touched him whenever he was injured.
The way she brushed through him during their training.
The way her soft, flawless hand held his rough, grazed one.
He closed his eyes and let the feeling of her touch envelope his whole body. That's when every agony he felt seemed to disappear with every memory of her.
He could hear her voice.
The last thing he remembered was a feather falling to the palm of his hand. And now everything disappeared. Everywhere he looked was stained with that deep, crimson color.
Blood.
He tried to shout but no voice escaped his mouth. And that's when he saw the light. It felt so… welcoming. He took a step towards it and felt his whole body warm up. He took another step.
Until he heard her voice.
"Neji… come back… please come back…."
The voice of a woman. It seemed so familiar. Like he heard it every day. But why couldn't he seem to recall whose it was?
"Neji… I trusted in you to come back… So please…" The voice continued.
The voice seemed to call from behind him. Neji looked behind him. It was dark. He had to choose. Light or dark?
He turned around. And walked.
It was her.
Neji opened his eyes and a bright light filled his eyes. He blinked. He was inside a room. The smell of medicine filled his nose. He blinked his eyes as the scene around him began to clear.
He was lying in a white room, probably a hospital. He forced himself to sit when he saw a figure on the foot of his bed.
It was a girl, laying her head on the bed. Her brown hair tied up in two buns. It was then that he remembered.
Neji smiled as he moved his fingers through her hair.
It was her.
She called him back.
