Firefly(A Neji Story)#1

They watched as you dissappeared out the door. "Lady Tsunade, shouldn't we-" "No, let her go. She needs to be alone." Tsunade said gravely. "Jiraya, perhaps you should continue." He nodded amd began to tell them the rest of the story. "I had gotten mad and ran at Orochimaru, trying to punch him. He ducked and kneed me in the stomach. As we fought, Akira and Tsunade were trying to stop us. Then he said that I wasn't good for her, end she would only get hurt because of me. He said that he was better suited for Akira, and do millions of things that I couldn't for her. That caught me off guard and he hit me in the chest, and I fell. He said that someone weak like me could never protect her, then we looked back at Akira she was shaking and then she ran off. Tsunade looked for her almost the whole day. By the time we found her it was too late." He explained. "'Too late'? What do you mean?" asked Neji, who had become intrested in the story. Jiraya sighed. "I'm sorry, but it isn't my place to tell you."Tsunade rubbed her forehead tiredly. "Kiri always had a thing for running off. Hinata, Neji, would you mind findingAkira and taking her back to your house? Hiashihas been expecting her for awhile." Tsunade asked. They nodded and she dismissed them all.
Your POV
You walked out of the building and into street. "I'm such an idiot Usa-chan." you whispered to your stuffed rabbit. You felt as though you were being attacked by memories, good and bad, but they hurt none the less.

"The first form is like this." Touya, your only brother explained. You held the wooden sword the way he directed you. "OK, now try to center your feet more so-""Oh, Touya! Why are teaching her your lousy sword stances when she could be dancing?!" Kimiko exclaimed. "Or be learning the art of bells!" Mizumi piped. Touya frowned and swiped his blond hair out of his eye(His other one was covered by an eyepatch, sword accident). "Whatever. It's about time for dinner anyway. Akira, go wash up."He ordered. You raced inside. That was the last time you saw them alive.

You sat in the only piece of ground that remained unstained by all the blood. You whimpered and pulled Usa-chan closer. The time of the great ninja war. You heard footsteps among the dead bodies. You looked up to see many people with dark hair and dark eyes. "It's a child!", someone from the group exclaimed. The man in the front, who you assumed to be the leader, spoke. "Madara." he called. A boy about 15 years old walked up. "Yes Father?" "Assist this young woman. Find out about her, I figure it would be better if the younger ones conversed." Madara nodded. The leader guided the clan away and Madara turned to you with a soft smile. "Hi, my name is Madara Uchiha, what's yours?" he asked helping you up. He was your first friend and nothing more than that.

"Hizashi-kun?" you asked one rainy day. "Hm?" You blushed and turned to face him. "I really like you and well...do you like me?" He turned to look at you. He was confused. "Of course I do, you're my best friend." Your face turned even redder. You sat down next to him on the wet grass. "No, I mean, I really really like you..." Hizashi began to blush. "Kiri? Where are you getting at?" You scooted closer to him and looked him straight in the eyes. "I just want to know....Are we more than just best friends?" Hizashi began to stutter. "Uhh, d-do you want t-to be more than friends?" "Do you?" "I don't know!" You crawled onto his lap. "Should we try it?" "Maybe we should." You looked up at him and slowly and awkwardly, your lips met. You parted and imediatly faced away from each other. "Well I didn't feel anything, did you?" he asked. "Nuh-uh." "Should we....." "Try again?" You faced eachother again. This time you wrapped your arms around his neck and you two kissed again, for awhile longer before parting. Again, you stared awkwardly at eachother. "WAHHH!*THUMP*" Your head shot around to see Shikaku, Chouza, Inoichi, Kakashi, and Obito on the ground with Hiashi standing behind them. Your faces turned bright red. "Hehe, hi?" Obito said nervously. You began to growl. Next thing they knew, they were covered in bruises. "You jerks!" you cried. "HEY! This was all Obito's idea!" Inoichi said pointing at Obito. "Liar! Chouza was behind from the start!" "I had nothing to do with this! Shikaku told me!" While they were arguing, you slumped to the ground and cried tears of embarassment. "WILLYOU SHUT UP?! I'm the one who came up with it, you happy now?" asked Hiashi, who was the only one sensible enough to bring an umbrella. You felt Hizashi wrapped his arms around you and glared. "You shouldn't have been spying in the first place." He said. Hiashi rolled his eyes. "THEY were spying, I just wanted to give you my blessings." Hizashi's face lit up. "Blessings? For what?" "Well you and Akira are going to get together, I'm sure. You can see it from a thousand miles away." "Yeah, Hizashi!" Inoichi exclaimed. "it's really obvious, just give the girl a kiss! And not one of those wussy ones, a REAL one." You looked at eachother and your cheeks turned one hundred shades of red. "We're waiting." Kakashi urged. You nodded and looked towards Hizashi. You wrapped your arms around his neck and your lips met for the third time. Then you had found the fireworks you were looking for. The boys cheered and laughed in the background, but you couldn't even hear them, all you wanted to concentrate on was Hizashi. Forever, if you could.

You stoped in your tracks when found that you had walked yourself all the way to grassy area. It was small hill, with the perfect view of the sky. You had come here when your family was still alive and every year you spent in Konoha after that. You sighed and plopped onto your back. You stayed there for about 10 minutes. "It's rude to cause others to worry." you heard someone say. You opened your eyes to see Shikamaru looming over you. "What are you doing here?" You asked. "I could ask you the same, everyone's worried about you, ya know?" You blushed. "I know." He sat down next to you. "Look. I'm sorry that I don't know all that much about what you've been through or what have has happened in your life. Infact, I'm not even sure I believe the story about your family. But still, I don't think you have the right to run off and let everybody else try to find you, like this is some sorta giant Hide-N-Go Seek Game." he stated. You looked back at him with wide eyes. "Now, the Hyuga's have been looking every where for you. Don't you think you should go say sorry to them?" You smiled and nodded. "Thankyou, Shikamaru. Before I go, may I have a strand of your hair?" He looked at you oddly. "Why?" You took out a kunai and sliced a line down Usa-chan's side. "I only use hair to sew Usa-chan. And I only use the hair of my first friends." He sighed and plucked a hair from his head. "Here, Weirdo." You smiled, took the hair, and and began to walk towards the Hyuga Manor.
