*Neji's Perspective*

I could understand why Aiko would think I was being unfaithful. If I was in her position I probably would've reacted the same, if not worse. But it's still a bit too soon to reveal my plans to her, so I decided it would be best to give her the space she desired.

I know she was taking this hard because she didn't raise her voice at me. She was calm the whole time but I could see the pain so clearly in her eyes and I've never felt like such a terrible person before, but I had to keep reminding myself that this was all for a greater plan that would hopefully be enough to redeem myself.

Truthfully I was more concerned by Kiyomi's rashness, I should go find her and explain myself. Who knows what kind of terrible things she's putting into Aiko's head. I also felt bad for getting Naruto and Hinata in on it, but I don't think I would of been able to keep it a secret for long without them.

Hinata is probably pretty shaken up, I doubt she was expecting for things to escalate like that. I'll have to properly apologize later. Naruto must feel even worse. Because his involvement in my plans he might have put his and Kiyomi's relationship on the line, and that was never my intention. I guess he deserves a formal apology as well.

Where would I go if I was short tempered, crippled, emotional girl. I thought of all the possible places, I knew that Aiko wanted space, and as close as Kiyomi and Aiko are I know Aiko rather keep her emotions bottled up for a while. I also knew that Kiyomi would not even be looking in the same direction as Naruto until things were sorted out, but sorting things out would be hard enough, we would have to force her to even be in the same room as Naruto. Then I remembered her tendency to seek clarity away from the problem and I was thankful for being a so called 'Genius'.

I took a shortcut that would hopefully get me to the Hokage building in time to stop Kiyomi from running away again. As I got closer to the building I could see Kiyomi's disheveled figure slowly moving.

Even from here I could tell she was exhausted, she shouldn't of been left alone. I made my way up to her and began pushing her toward a bench, she was frightened for a moment until she realized it was me. Her gaze soon shifted into a raged expression.

"I can't believe you have the audacity to show yourself in front of me, you're unbelievably lucky that I am in a wheelchair or I would punch the life out of you, but what i'm worried about is that I hope you haven't made Aiko feel any worse. I feel so stupid because I actually thought that under your cold resting 'I don't give a fuck face' you were actually a good guy who loved my cousin and wanted the best for her. You're disgusting" Kiyomi spat.

I had to hold back a laugh and I could tell I had just made it worse. I felt bad that she had gotten so worked up over a situation that she knew nothing about, but I guess that's just how females react.

"How can you possibly be laughing right now? Even Orochimaru wasn't that twisted. You make me sick."

I saw her hands gripping the handles of her wheelchair, despite all of her pain she was going to stand up, most likely in an attempt to assault me. Before she could move anymore to possibly injure herself I reached my hand into my pocket and pulled out the small velvet box and held it right in front of her face, so she couldn't possibly miss it.

"Are you mute or something? Grow a pair of balls and own up to what you did. I don't care what kinda voodoo shit you have in your pocket, I'm not scared to Bluebird your ass." Kiyomi was furious, she was actually seething and if I didn't know any better I'd say I could see steam coming out of her ears as a result of her blood boiling.

"Are you actually that dense? I see why you and Naruto are so compatible now" I stated some what harshly, I had to admit I was going to enjoy her reaction when she finally put two and two together.
