"N-neji-n-nii-san?"

Nejis orbs shook in pure shock.

H-hinata-sama?"

The group all stared in bewilderment at the two who were stern as a stone. Hinata hesitantly stumbled back, as her lips quivered, and tears swelled in her eyes. Hinata abruptly buckled to her knees earning Ino to rush to her aid.

"Hinata!?" Ino worryingly called falling to her knees to capture her whimpering girlfriend.

The purple hair girl clenched her hands into fist, before her orbs lifted to meet the lavender male. Her expression completely shifted to anger. Her brows furrowed and teeth grinded together. Neji bit his lip his heart shattered and eyes soften. He knew deep down she had every right to be upset.

"Can I at least explain Hinata". Neji pleaded, as he took a step towards her.

Hinata emotions were scattering all over. The most emotion she felt was betrayal. Neji cautiously took steady steps towards the quivering girl. Ino watched, as Neji stumbled to his knees. She eyed the other male that gave her pleading eyes.

Ino gave the other a nod, before she hesitantly retraced away from her girlfriend. Neji lifted his hand delicately maneuvering it to brush over the others shoulder. Hinata snapped her lashes shut once she felt the soft gentle hand from Neji brush against her shoulder.

In an instant she lunged towards the other wrapping her arms around the others waist, as she wept painfully against his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Hinata-sama". Neji quivered out, as tears prickled his lashes.

Everyone was stunned by the affection shared by the two. The brunet snuggled against her, as his arms embraced her.

"W-where were you…all this time?" Hinata wept against the others chest.

Neji's heart clenched, and swelled with agony. He stayed silent, as Hinata tore away from him.

"Its been fourteen years, yet you can't give me an explanation!" She chocked out in misery.

Neji watched in silent, as more glossy tears fell from the others pained orbs.

"First Naruto. Now you can I not trust anyone…or is that you both don’t trust me…that you can just disappear, and not bother to say anything!" Hinata chocked out.

She immediately gripped her head that pounded in pain, and stress. The tight pressure felt like her skull was going to rupture into a million pieces.

She couldn’t comprehend everything that was happening. First she got kidnapped, second she ends up in a place she doesn’t know. Her best friend that’s been missing saves her. She wakes again in unknown area where she meets her "Dead cousin."

Naruto hesitantly licked his lips quietly taking a step forward.

"I think the best thing to do right now is for the girls to shower, and everyone can talk after everyone calms down." Naruto suggested uneased by the heavy fog, and aura in the air.

Nejis eyes soften, as they softly glanced at Hinata who had tears dashing down her cheeks. He softly nodded in agreement. Ino stepped over to Hinata to gently grip her wrist pulling her to her feet. Ino cooed comforting words into the others ear trying her best to ease her girlfriend.
