Neji studied her for a moment. He felt his eyes drooping slightly from exhaustion as he distanced himself from her. He took an open stance and raised his palm, crouching nimbly. He wasn't sure if he should come at her, or wait for her, or what. They trained together all of the time, so why was he so hesitant?
"Umm... How about you come at me," he suggested, feeling nervous and awkward. "I mean... if that's okay with you?"
Damn it, Neji thought, scowling. Get a hold of yourself!

Hinata looked at Neji,he looked kind of tired,it was understandable that he wanted her to start the fighting.She then made a single ahndseal enar her face,her eyes shut.
near her eyes the veins started to become more and more visible,as she opened her eyes it was evident that her pupils where more visible,she was using her family kekkei genkai.
"Byakugan!" Hiunata shouted,as her pose changed,her feeth and overall body in the hyuga pose,as her straight hair moveda little with the wind.there was not any big source of water so her training in suiton wouldn´t help her much here- just because of the agility needed maybe.
Hinata then took an step back,laning a little,then she faslty ran like as she was flying to Neji,She was encouraging him to make a direct taijutsu fighting,she spinned a little,some chakra was visible in her hands soemtimes.but nothing much.Determination was practically written in her eyes,at one moment she remenbered a moment that haunted her mind.
she started to remenber...
"i will never go back on my words- thats my ninja way too!" Hinata said,at the chuunin exams,slwoly getting up to fight back at Neji-her heart pounding fast as blood leaked frome ach side of her mouth
-----
Hinata didn´t care anymore- Nejiw as kind to ehr now...but her father....
was she a real dishonour...
...to Neji?
...to her sister?
....to....
Naruto?
-----
"Because I.....Love you!"
-----
She kept running to Neji,strongly wanting to change,she needed to train.Backt or eality,she was still running,she moved one of her opened palms forward wanting to attack Neji...

Neji quickly activated his Byakugan and ducked below the palm that was flying at his chest. He countered swiftly, lightly ducking behind her and raising his palm to attack. The thought of striking her entered his mind. There were so many options... he could swipe the back of her leg, just above the ankle, and bring her down with her own forward momentum. He could jab the back of her neck, just between the second and third vertebrates, and send her nervous system into a frenzy. Or he could go for the frail structure between the collarbone and shoulder, jabbing quickly with an open palm. The quicker the strike, the less amount of time the body had to absorb the impact. He could drill into her side with two sharp fingers. The smaller the radius of impact, the larger the force done unto the muscle structure.
But something made him hesitate. He couldn't bring himself to strike her. His palm wavered, and he inhaled sharply.
What is wrong with me?
He stared at the ground distractedly, as her palm came swiftly for him...

Hinata could see Neji was not doing the best he could.
"C-com at me at full force-i dont need mercy!" Hinata said,stopping her attack,the wind was blowing powerfully,her Byakugan piercely looking trough her taller cousin,she stared at his white Byakugan,liek fighting to see which Byakugan could read the others feelings faster,Nejiw as an expert in using it in this way,and she hated to do this but she needed to.
"Don´t have mercy! F-fight back...." Hinata said,knowing Neji was trying to be soft with her.

Neji continued to stare at the ground, eyes wide. He felt stiff and paralyzed, his fingers withering and retracting into a fist. He stood up and looked at her, she had stopped her attack in time. It was good, he wouldn't have been able to counter it. Everything felt so messed up, what was wrong with him?
He stood up straight and emptied all of the air from his lungs. Neji closed his eyes, his eyebrows arching downwards in defiance. He turned away from her, not wishing for his emotions to be violated by her Byakugan. But he knew that was futile.
"I can't." Neji told her. He clenched his hands into fists. "I'm sorry, Hinata-sama. I just can't."

Hinata´s face softened,her Byakugan soon dissapeared,she didn´t need it to know what was happening.
she moved closer to him,she softly moved his face with her hand so now he was looking at her.
"Don´t feel guilty Neji-niisan...please...don´t"Hinata said,as she looked at him in the eyes,she smiled a little warmly,taking neji´s hands in a friendly way.
"It is not and was never your fault..." She said,still smiling,he rhair moving with the wind.

Neji looked at her. Her Byakugan had faded away, and yet he knew that she could read him like a book. It was one of those traits that Hinata had always possessed... he wished sometimes that she didn't. His eyes were sad and heavy, burdened with the weight of years of guilt. He thought about wrapping his fingers around her wrist and pulling her hand away, but her gentle touch was so comforting. He let her hand linger on his cheek, following it with his eyes as she reached to take his hands.
"Hinata-sama," Neji whispered, never forgetting to add the formal honorific. It was his duty to address her as such, herself belonging to the main family while he himself was a member of the lesser branch. It was that very separation that caused him so much angst in his early years.
"Give up," he had told her. "You were never meant to become a ninja."
He remembered his fingers as they dove for her heart, and the blood that dripped from her mouth as she fell to her knees... He remembered Kurenai-sensei's accusing glare as he stopped her fragile heart... It had felt so good.
Neji closed his eyes and shivered at the memory.
"Hinata-sama," he repeated, his voice quiet. "How can you say that? That's not what I remember when... when I was trying to kill you."

Hinata looked at the floor.
"Did i change? maybe...just a little?"
Hinata remenbered that day,just like as if it had jsut happened.
"It happened n the past niichan..."Hinata added.
"It happened so long ago,more than 6 years and...y-you still ...." Hinata said,not continuing,she knew she tough the same as him.she knew Neji wouldn´t do that again...she was sure of it.
"P-please...D-dont feel guilty...I knew that it would end up that way....it was my fault...i didnt gave up...i didn´t want to...not even now i would have run away from that match....and i would never do it....I-its just how i am!" Hinata said looking now back at Neji.

Neji looked at his younger cousin. She kept pleading with him not to feel guilty, but how could be oblige? He could tell how upset she was, but as he read her expression, Neji knew at once that it wasn't he who was on her mind. So that was it....
"It's about your father, isn't it?" He asked, looking at her with a straight face. "That's why you're up at this hour?"

"uh?" Hinata said,driving her sight to the big tree,the big tree that ahs been there since the day she was born,or so her dad told her,once....one of those few times they have talked.
Hinata looked at her feeth,then back at Neji "well..umm..." Hinata said,closing her eyes shut,she coudln´t believe he found out.
she let a sight scape from ehr mouth.
"Yes.Its because of him." She said,as her smile fadded away.
"I-I want to be strong...N-not a burden..."
