Chapter 11

A week later, six days to be exact, Neji, Asuma, Kurenai, Deidara (yes, Deidara) and Jiraiya were standing at the airport, waiting for Neji's airplane. Neji and Kurenai were hugging at the moment.

Kurenai pulled away from the hug a little as she still held Neji by the arms. "Now remember to keep eating healthy and call us everyday. And if you need anything we can send it to you and we're still there, even if we're not around. I packed you some snacks for in the airplane. Oh Neji...you'll be fine right?" Kurenai asked and then hugged Neji again.

"Of course I will be." Neji said, smiling. "I'll be fine."

"You'll do great." Asuma said, looking proud.

"Good. Now promise you will call everyday OK?" Kurenai said. "And yes. You will do great. But you will let us know how it all goes."

"Aah I always knew you were a model Neji." Deidara said and gave Neji a not so soft pat on the back.

"I will." Neji said, nodding at her and hugging her one last time before letting go. Then he smirked at Deidara.

"You don't have to kill me for it, Dei." Neji said. "And you did? Thanks for the compliment."

"Of course I did, I'm smart. Now take care of your hair un, you stand for all the pretty boys out there who's hair is long. Like ours un." Deidara said and smirked.

"Shall we go now Neji? The airplane won't wait forever." Jiraiya said as their bags were taken away, so they could be placed into the airplane.

Neji nodded and then hugged Kurenai one more time, giving her a small kiss on the cheek.

"I'll call you when I'm there, ok?" He said, while he gave Asuma a head.

"Good luck boy." Asuma said, giving Neji a soft hit on the shoulder.

"You do that Neji. And please be careful. We love you." Kurenai said. Jiraiya started walking away. "Bye Neji. Call me sometime ok?" Deidara said and waved.

"I will." Neji said, waving at them. "I'll call when I'm there! Bye!" He waved to them one last time and then he followed Jiraiya.

"Bye Neji!" Kurenai yelled and waved with tears in her eyes. But she was happy too. Neji would be fine. And he would come back.

Neji felt happy about it too. He was going to America, to make his future better. But still, even when he had all those things, he couldn't help but cry when he looked at the disappearing landscape. He cried a lot. He cried because he had lost Sasuke.
