A/N: A simple crush can be hard. Inspiration just struck me and so I decided to just do it while it still lingered. Sorry if I couldn't update "What hath gone wrong?", I'm still having trouble with the story and songs to suit it.
A Simple Crush
Years ago....
"Can you hear that?"
"Hear what, Neji?"
The young Hyuuga looked around. His father didn't know what was going on with him.
'I swear I can hear it. Someone is crying...' Neji thought as he looked around where it was coming from.
"Neji? Look, no one's crying." his father told him. But, it seemed that Neji wasn't paying attention.
'From there!' Neji pinpointed the area from which the cry was coming from and ran towards it.
"Neji! Wait! Where are you going?" his father chased him.
It wasn't long until Neji found out who was crying. A little blonde girl was sitting on the ground and crying her eyes out.
'I saw her before....' Neji thought and slowly approached the girl. The girlrealized that Neji was approaching her and looked up.
"W-Who are you?" she asked. Her eyes were sky blue and her voice was tiny. She seemed scared of Neji.
"I'm Neji." he replied with a smile on his face.
She still seemed scared.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Neji said, reaching his hand out to her. The little girl trusted him and grabbed his hand.
"PRINCESS!! MY SWEET LITTLE PRINCESS! WHERE ARE YOU?" a voice called out.
"Daddy! Daddy!" the little called out to her father. After a short while, her father emerged. He was tall and resembled her in a way. He ran to his daughter and lifted her upin the air.
"I'm so sorry I left you." he said.
"That's ok." she smiled.
"Neji! Where are you?" Neji's father called.
"I'm comnig father." Neji said rushing towards his voice.
Once Neji was out of sight...
"Who was that boy?" her father asked.
"Neji." the little girl replied with a smile.
A few years ago....
"Get lost..." he said.
'DAMN HIM! HE RESISTED MY SEXINESS?!? .!!' she thought.
And now....
Ino was just in the mood to go out and do some fun. But, the only problem was, everybody was busy.
Either they were out on a mission....
Or busy training.....
Even just doing something they wanted....
But Ino was in a carefree mood today and didn't bother to force them like she always does. Everyone knew Ino as someone who gets what she wants. Even the prodigy, Hyuuga Neji allowed her to visit him during his training after weeks and months of annoying. I guess he just couldn't take it anymore. But, it was rarely when she visited him.
'Hm... maybe I should go visit him for once...' Ino thought. Though, the thought of Neji shooing her away was going to be a different sight. But she still persisted herself to go and at least say hi.
So she walked to his training spot. She didn't want to waste chakra for a guy who will just ignore her as he did his fanclub.
Yes. Neji did have a fanclub of girls. Along with...
Sasuke....
Shikamaru....
Kiba....
and surprisingly...
Shino...
Wierd huh?
As Ino walked, she saw Neji. He wasn't training or anything.
'I guess he wants to have a day-off...' Ino thought. 'Just like me!'
But that wasn't true. She always days off. She was rarely called to missions. Unlike most of her friends.
She slowly approached Neji. Neji didn't mind her again. Ino wasn't afraid to approach someone. Even though that that person was her crush!
Yes, Ino had given up on Sasuke and Shikamaru. But Neji's coldness and lack of emotions is what made him so... so... irresistable. And Ino had pain in her stomach whenever she saw Neji. But, for some reason today, her stomach didn't give her pain. Was it that she was beggining not to like Neji anymore?
"Hi Neji." Ino approached him. As usual, just a grunt and a scornful look on his face.
'He's so inconsiderate....' Ino thought. And just as she thought that the stomach pains were over, it just had to find the right time to just make an entrance.
'Shit! It's acting up again!' Ino thought as it came back.
Neji looked at Ino as her face showed a little uncomfortable-ness. He didn't know what was going on. So he just asked.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah sure. I'm totally fine. I got to go now. See you around." Ino said as she couldn't take the pain anynmore and walked off. Neji didn't bother her and just continued going around Konoha.
Once Ino was at a good distance from Neji, she wondered. 'How can I tell him? That... I... I... Love him....'
So much to say
But where do I start
But, she knew that Neji would just discard her feelings off.
Would you listen if I spoke from the heart?
But, she just wanted to admit it.
It's simple things
That keep us apart
But it's that cold attitude of his that makes her stop.
You know it doesn't have to be this way
And she's afraid that she might get hurt again.
Can't you hear it in my voice
You gotta listen when I say
And she wishes for that not to happen.
Don't let me go when I'm this low
Why can't we talk about it
Why can't we figure it out
I wanna know as people grow
How do they sort it all out
Work out what love is about
So tell me now yeah I've gotta know
When this feeling I've got won't let go
The only thing that echoed in her hea was his name. But, if she could only admit it to him, then she could rest at last.
But, she couldn't.
