[Letters]

They died because of you.

It was lying innocently on the desk in her room, window open and making other papers on the table flutter softly and then fall on ground.

Naruto was nowhere in sight.


Scenarios:

a)Sitting on the rooftop of Mikoto-san's house, Naruto stared at the village below her and let out a shaky breath. That's not true... right? They can't be dead... not because of her. She will protect them all so they will not die! A small, choked sob escaped her before she buried head into her hands.

b)Naruto dashed madly through the people on the open market. She had to get away. Somewhere... somewhere to clear her mind. With bag slung over her back, she tried to reach the exit of the village while not being noticed by anyone... well anyone she knew. She can't look them in the eye now...

She sighed heavily:"I am trying not to... it's hard though, dattebane." She wondered how Neji always found right words to use. She was always clumsy with stuff like that and just talked- speaking whatever comes to her mind.

She gave him a smile:"Thanks a lot."

He closed his eyes and bowed his head at her smile, just gesturing to the ground. "Please... come down from the roof?"

[fire_fox]

"Ah yes, let's go. Are you..." she blinked, slightly confused, "...are you okay, 'tebbane?" Did she say something wrong?

[openedthebasket]

"Fine," he answered shortly, not trusting himself to speak much more than that as he leapt down from the roof, catching himself easily. "Come, let's get you inside."

[fire_fox]

She scowled a bit but shrugged anyway, still feeling as if she missed something important right now. It was that bad vibe again.

She jumped down from the roof, dusting off her clothes and fixing hair. "...that crying kind of made me hungry, 'tebbane... Let's go get something to eat!" She threw hands in the air and grabbed Neji for the sleeve, tugging him with her.

Being tugged, as if nothing had changed between them...

It was a smooth, quick motion to rotate his arm and shoulder, tugging his sleeve out of her grasp. "I am sorry, but I have an prior obligation," he answered, inclining his head. "Perhaps another time, Naruto."
