I saw a figure standing a couple of meters in front of me. He had his back turned to me. He was wearing a white kimono, and had long brown hair past his back tied in a low ponytail. He looked familiar.
         "Neji nii-san?" I asked, getting closer to him.
         He turned around and smiled the biggest smile I ever saw plastered on his face."Hinata-sama!" Neji exclaimed.
         I felt tears escaping from my eyes and roll down my cheeks. I ran towards him and hugged him with all my might. He seemed a bit shocked by what I did, but hugged me back after a few seconds. "I missed you so much, Neji nii-san." I mumbled into his chest.
         "I missed you too, Hinata-sama." Neji said in muffled voice, his face buried in my hair.
         He pulled away and smiled, examining me."Beautiful as ever, Hinata-sama." I blushed at his compliment.
         "Neji nii-" I was cut off by my mind threatening to wake up. No! NO! I cannot afford to dream about Neji nii-san and not get to finish it!
         "Hinata-chan! Hinata-chan, wake up!" I hear a familiar voice say. Naruto-kun? "Is Mommy gonna be okay?" I opened my eyes to see my daughter Himawari say it. When she saw me awake, her eyes lit up. "Mommy! You're okay!" She says, pulling me into a hug. I hug back and pull away.
         Naruto-kun (my husband) was there, and so was Boruto (my son).He had a hint of worry visible on his face. Naruto-kun's face was full of worry and nervousness. "Hinata-chan! Are you okay?! You were screaming 'Neji nii-san' while you were sleeping! What happened?"
         I turned away from my family. "It's just that, well, I had a dream of Neji nii-san... And when I was trying to say something to him, he just started fading, and, well, I woke up." I explained. Naruto- kun was nodding his head, probably trying to figure something out. Himawari tilted her head and furrowed her eyebrows."Who's 'Neji nii-san'?" I chuckled and said,"Neji-nii was my cousin, and is your uncle."
         "Where is Neji oji-san?" Boruto asked. I bowed my head and looked down at my hands and started fiddling with them."He's- he's-" I tried to say it, but I couldn't bring it up. I felt a pair of hands touch my shoulders. I looked up to see Naruto-kun smile at me and whisper,"It's okay, Hinata. I'll explain it to them." I smiled and looked at my hands, trying to hide my red face."T-thanks, N-naruto- kun." He patted my shoulder twice and trotted over to Boruto and Himawari.
         "You see, Neji oji-san was Mom's cousin, and he was titled the genius child prodigy of the Hyuga clan.
         "But, unfortunately, Neji was born into the branch family, while Mom here was the heir to the main branch of the clan. When we were in the middle of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kakashi-Sensei's good friend but unfortunately was one of the main causes of the war, Obito Uchiha, struck a root towards me, and he meant to kill me, but instead, Neji stepped in and sacrificed himself to save my life."
         I was sobbing quietly by the time he was done. Boruto had wide eyes and was making a face saying 'I don't understand'. "W-why're you making that face, Boruto?" I said as I wiped my eyes to get rid the tears.
         "I don't understand. WHY exactly did Oji-san sacrifice himself for Oto-san, ne, Oka-san?" I frowned and looked away from my family. "Because I called him a genius." Naruto chuckled at his own words. Himawari was in awe."Was he really a genius, Oto-san?"
"Hehe, yup!"
         "Wow!" Boruto and Himawari were both amazed, though I couldn't really tell why. I just smiled at them, Hima hugging Naruto, and Boruto trying to climb Naruto's shoulders. I smiled even wider at the three of them.
