It occurs approximately 6 years after the first chuunin exam .

Kawaii ko (cute child)
chapter 1: six years after

"Isn't she cute, father?"

I wake up brutaly. I was dreaming about this day... the three years birthday of Hinata. But what came back to my memory isn't the death of my father... it was my first meeting with Hinata. "Isn't she cute, father?" I said those words, it was a long time ago.

"that's not true, brother Neji. Because...I can see it...It's not me at all...the person lost ans suffering wihin the destiny of the main and branch houses...is you..."
What is this morning? now what Hinata had said to me at the end of our combat, at the time of the first examinations of Chuunin come back to my memory ... She wasn't wrong. But since this time, I changed. I succeed in freeing me of this hatred which locked up me and destroyed me.

All that is far behind me. I have been Chuunin for a few years ...And if I continue to dream , I will be late. On the way, I meet Koichi and we walk together. he is a chuunin older than me, and we are in the same team.
Koichi:"Eh, Neji,could you present me to your cousin?"
Neji:" My cousin... you want to mean Hinata?"
Koichi:" Of course! She isn't easy to approach... but she is so beautiful!"
It is true too that Hinata became a very beautiful girl... and a chuunin, too. And we get along better, like normal cousins.
Neji:"You have sights on my cousin? I don't want to disappoint you, but you don't have any chance."
It's not true. I think that if somebody invite her to go out, she couldn't say no. She is too nice. But it is the first time that one asks me to play the messenger.
Koichi:" You want to keep her for you?"
Neji:" Hey! She's just my cousin!"
I don't know why, but I am a little mad. There are no reasons however.
Koichi:" I will not eat her.Please, just present me."
Neji:" Ok, ok."

I succeeded in speaking to Hinata in the afternoon, and I present Koichi to her... and we are currently all three discussing in front of a bowl noodles to the restaurant. In fact, Koichi speaks, and Hinata listens . And I, what do I do? I would have to leave and leave them together... but this idea don't please me. I don't know why.

It is late, and Koichi always speaks. He's a true chatterbox when he wants. I see on her face that Hinata wouldll like to rgo home, but that she doesn't dare to stop him. It is my turn to play.
Neji:"Hinata-sama. It is late, I will accompany back you on your premise."
I take along Hinata quickly, leaving behind me a disappointed Koichi pays the bill. Finally we are little calms. When we arrive to Hyuga House, all is already quiet. Nobody awaited her return. It saddens me a little. If something happens to her ; nobody would have known anything of it... Nobody wouldn't have protected her.
Hinata: " Thank you for escorting me at home, Neji Nii-san.(big brother)"
Neji:"my duty is to protect you."
She looks at me strangely then go home. I surprised myself to answer that. Protect her. Eh well, She is the heiress of the family, and that I am from branch house, therefore I owes protect her in theory... But it is the first time I do it. When I thinks that a few years ago, I tried to kill her... I'm glad that I didn't succeed.
Protect her... and if it's...

My family is invited to the main house for the 18 years birthday of Hinata. For the first time in 14 years, I return here . The relations between our two families are better and better .Hinata is very beautiful wearing kimono, If Koichi could see her...
If I could take a photograph of her, I hope he will forgive me for the past evening. Hinata agrees for a photograph. I think that the interior garden will make a beautiful framework...
Neji:"sitting on this basin, it is perfect. You are like a painting ."
Hinata reddens. No, doesn't redden, smiles for the photograph. Perfect.
From interior of the house, we hear noise. Hanabi is training.
Hinata: " Hanabi trains much, She's really skilled. And Father is proud of her."
Neji:"he can also be proud of you, you nevertheless became chuunin at 13."
Hinata: " I disappointed him. He doesn't pay any more attention to me, now."
Neji:" He continues to teach you our style of fight?"
Hinata: "No, for a long time, nobody cares of my training. I manage alone."
Neji:"But how can you progress?! There are lots of secret techniques to know for really excelling in our style of fight."
Hinata: "I know, but..."
Neji:"Train with me."
Hinata: "!?"
Neji:"Yes, I will teach you the techniques. I know them."
Hinata: " but... I am so bad.. you will waste your time with me"
Neji:"You are not excellent, but you are not bad either. You are the heiress of our family, you must know these techn..."
I become silent seeing the tears in the eyes of Hinata.
Hinata: "You are so strong, Neji... so estrong... I don't deserve to be the heiress... that should be... that should be you!"
She begin to sob. I feel embarrassed.
Neji: "No. only you deserves to carry this title... and there is a reason if I am stronger than you, the heiress."
Hinata: "?"
Neji:"Hinata, I am stronger than you ... to be able to protect you."

Protect you... it became my reason of living.
