A slender hand slowly made its way down a toned, nude chest. It went upwards to caress a smooth face and brush itself over closed long, silver-black eyelashes. The hand was soon grabbed by a larger, paler one.

 

“What are you doing back here?”

 

“I…I wanted to see you again Neji.”

 

“Why?

 

That one word felt like a thousand kunai stabbing into her heart. Neji…why do you continue to do this to me? Why do you keep hurting me?

 

“I had to. I just couldn't say away from you.”

 

“Tell me the truth Kagome.”

 

“ I am Neji! I am! What do I have to tell you to make you believe me?”

 

“There's nothing you can do koi. I'm sorry.”

 

“This is one of your missions, isn't it?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Kagome's eyes filled with tears as she looked at her lover sadly. “Then do what you must Neji.”

 

“I can't Kagome.”

 

“N-Neji?”

 

“I can't kill you.”

 

“But this is your mission! You've never failed a mission before. This will look bad on your record.”

 

“ I love you too much Kagome. I can't do it. That's why I didn't want you to come back. I would have to kill you.”

 

“Just kill me Neji. I know how important your status is to you. You want to show Hiashi that you are strong enough to take over the Hyuga clan when he's gone.”

 

“Yes, but you are more important to me than my clan will ever be.”

 

Kagome traced circles on Neji's chest.

“What do we do now?”

 

“Run away with me.”

 

“What?”

 

Neji sat up and pulled Kagome onto his lap.

“We'll run away and start our own clan. I know your brother will protect us.”

 

Kagome slightly sat up and looked at Neji.

“Gaara-koi? I'm not sure if he will though. You know he's very strict about these things.”

 

“But he loves you a lot Kagome. And he's the Kazekage of the Sand village.”

 

“That doesn't mean he has all the power. And I don't exactly think Gaara-koi approves of you and me being lovers and all.”

 

Neji quickly flipped them over and ran a hand down Kagome's face. His mouth soon followed his hand as he planted soft kisses on any inch of skin he could.

 

“Neji?”

 

“Shh. There's nothing to worry about Kagome. I'll protect you. You know that.”

 

Kagome's eyes overflowed with tears as she looked at her protector.

“Always Neji? You promise?”

 

“Always and forever Kagome. Aishiteru.” Unless fate directs us otherwise.

 

“I love you too Neji.”
