I'm in Naruto! {Neji x OC}

Chapter 9: My date with Neji

(A/N)

Besides that, please enjoy Chapter 9

(Flashback Start)

Neji said as he started to walk away but I grabbed his wrist, causing him to look back at me. "I have a favor to ask you?" I asked as nervousness rushed into me out of nowhere. "What is it?" Neji said turning around to face me. "Will you umm... can you uhh..." I said nervously. "Just spit it out already," Neji said with a hint of annoyance. So taking in a deep breath I just shouted "WILL YOU GO OUT ON A DATE WITH ME!".

(Flashback End)

I held my eyes closed after I shouted. In my head, I was screaming at myself for being so loud. I hesitantly opened one of my eyes to see what Neji's reaction was. From what I saw it looked like he was frozen in place by some invisible ice that came out of now where. Either that or he was caught in a Genjutsu of some type. I actually took a closer look and I swear I saw a tiny blush on his face.

"N-Neji?" I finally managed to stutter out. That managed to break him out of his trance because he looked right over at me. "S-so what do y-you say?" I asked with hope fluttering around in my chest. I sound like Hinata right now but I can't really help it. For one, Neji is staring at me with his pale-lavender eyes. It felt like an eternity before I saw Neji move his lips to answer my question. "No" was all it took to have my hope-filled heart shatter into millions of pieces.

I couldn't help it, tears started to flow down my face as I started to quietly sob. I don't usually cry a whole lot but I've never tried asking someone out before in my life in the real world so whatever just happened right now never happened to me before. So I guess my first reaction is to cry, I don't want to because it makes me look emotionally unstable and I hate it. Neji actually turned his back on me before I started to cry and started to slowly walk away. He actually stopped and to me, it looked like he was considering going out with me. I stopped my tears and wiped away the stray ones in case he turned around.

But he only turned his head and was looking at me from over his shoulder. What he said next wasn't what I expected at all and kinda pissed me off. "My destiny doesn't involve someone like you. My destiny is to-" I didn't let him finish because I immediately appeared in front of him and slapped him... hard.

"WHAT IS UP WITH YOU AND ALL THIS DESTINY BULLSHIT!" I shouted in anger. Of course, I was still upset that he said no when I asked him out but when he started to spit out his destiny this destiny that something in my head snapped. I liked Neji but the only thing I didn't like about him at this point of time was how he always said it was basically his destiny to be the best or whatever. "It's always destiny this, destiny that with you. Why is that!" I demanded. I of across knew why already but I wasn't about to tell him that.

Neji was sending me a death glare and started to walk away from me. "Oh no you don't!" I said as I put my hands together and used a wood style Jutsu to hold him in place. His face was still had anger on it but I could see some surprise on it. "Answer the damn question and I'll let you go," I said. We starred each other down for a good few seconds before it seemed like I won. I saw Neji hang his head low in defeat and I smirked in satisfaction.

Neji then told me his whole story. He told me about the caged bird seal on his forehead and about how his father sacrificed himself for the sake of the family. But the thing he told me that I didn't know about was the pain he felt when he received the seal. He told me how excruciating and painful it was. I knew how painful it looked when I watched it happen in the anime but him telling me how it actually felt brought tears to my eyes. I released him from my wood style and immediately engulfed him in a hug.
