[Open] What...what just happened?
She had left early in the morning for a jog before she started her training. Her routine since coming to Michi no Sato had been rarely broken. She woke up early, jogged around the village, trained for two hours—either by herself or with Neji-nii-san, and Naruto-kun later—before she went and did odd jobs for the villagers to earn some ryo.
When she reached the village proper, she noticed many slips of coloured paper on the ground. She stopped, trying to figure out where they'd come from. Surely if there had been some sort of celebration, she would have found out about it long before now, yes? She bent over to pick up the once closest to her, a lovely shade of orange that reminded her of Naruto-kun's jacket....

Really, he was so stupidly predictable at this age. Always trying to bitch about the main family and the branch family. Now that she was older and knew what happened between their fathers and what his issue was, she was not inclined to indulge his temper tantrums.
"That doesn't matter, you idiot." Her eyes were as cold as ice, colder than the wind that blew through the streets. "I don't care about who belongs to which father, because our grandfather was a fool and you're being an even bigger fool now. I'm glad that you grow up eventually, because it's nice to have a family member who doesn't expect me to fail all of the time, but I'm done with you already today. You want to be a little brat for the rest of your life, fine. Do so. It seems as if someone," she pointed to her/his neck contemptuously, "finds you acceptable, but that is not me."
She leaned in closer, annoyed that he was taller than her in her own body. "And for the record, Neji-kun, you should look into better cover ups for your hickeys. They itch."

...there was nothing better -or worse- than being talked down by yourself in your voice.
...oh and she went as far as to--- he felt the color drain from his/her face.
..she said their grandfather had been a fool.. talkeda gainst the elder. It was even WORSE than badmouthing Hiashi-sama.
"...what am I.. even..." he was unable to finish his sentence, falling o his knees staring at the ground with unfocussed eyes. No, really, just what had come over him? "I'm dirty..." his voice was even more silent than wind, but he acknowledged the fact he -was- dirty. How could his own mind be so twisted? Using this situation in such a way. If only he had spoken to her sooner, found out her -own- thoughts about familly matters...
After the family matters, however? There were those words too.
...he -did- find someone that thought he was acceptable, and this? This couldn't get to her ears. "..more important than.. than my... ah.." did he really have that many of those hickeys? He hardly minded the itch, it reminded him of her! "....please don't.... tell her..."

She sighed heavily as she dropped to her own knees and placed a hand on either shoulder. "Listen to me, Neji-nii-san," she said quietly, ignoring the strangeness of the whole situation. "I do not hate you. Nor have I ever looked down on you for being a member of the branch family. My mother's sister always told me that every member of the clan is important and is irreplaceable. When I thought about it hard enough as a small child, all I thought of was how impressive you were. I was proud that you were my cousin."
She would not cry. Neji-nii-san did not cry when speaking to her, and she would at least extend that small comfort to this younger version of him. "When we fought during the chunin exam, I was scared, but I didn't let that hold me back. I still fought you, even though all the odds were against me. Because, I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't just some weak, stupid, useless member of the clan. I needed to know that I wasn't just replaceable."
The corners of her mouth twitched even as guilt tugged at her heart. "I will not tell Tenten-san, if you will not tell Naruto-kun I was so harsh."

When she finished speaking, forgetting or entirely not caring for the reversal of bodies as his/her arms reached up. He had his head burried in his own chest, and he could feel one of those big buttons he had on his coat.
"....do I even.... deserve your forgiveness after all I just did and said?" the voice was shaky, and the body as well, but he never did cry.
"Hinata-sama... you... always were right.." and he? He was always wrong.

She patted her own back as her cousin shook, but didn't cry. "Do you wish for me to forgive you, Neji-nii-san? If so, then of course you deserve it."
She chuckled a little. "As for being right, I am not so sure about that. However, Shino-kun once told me that I am stubbornly determined. Perhaps that is what it is after all."

His grip shifted from the shoulders into something lighter.
"To think that I deserve it so easily... but... I will not argue." because after all...
...people do change....

The force of it rammed him into a nearby wall, and he could not recall any moment where he had felt more in pain.
Except... he had deserved that... and the other option she had as punishment was something he knew hse would never use. After all, it seems he was the only one thinking her forgiveness had been easily earned. This might even only be equal to -half- the pain he'd caused her.
"...you... did get stronger...in many ways." he acknowledged, fingers closing over hers slowly.

Carefully, she directed him to the clinic run by Sakura-san in the village, since that would be faster than taking him to Sakumo, and the damage was a little too much for her limited training to do much good. "Now, don't talk. I'm going to take you to Sakura-san to be looked over, alright?"
