Thread: Peace Never Lasts Forever [An AU Naruto RP] (Yuna & Malin's 1x1)

Neji Hyuuga Hissori Hyuuga Neji sat back as he watched Suikoto eat, for now at least everything seemed peaceful. Her question was odd, and for a moment Neji had to reflect upon it. There was no doubt that there was a time where he wouldn't have helped her, that he would have thought of it as the natural order of things, but that was years ago and practically another life time all together. The answer she wanted to hear was actually rather difficult to give her. He couldn't really say why he was going to such lengths to help her. Because you needed help. There doesn't need to be any more of a reason then that. He said finally leaning back in his chair and giving a small yawn. He still needed to go and actually report that his mission was done, but he would figgure that one out tomorrow. He had been ahead of schedule by a day anyway, and he was sure that the people who ran the ANBU program would understand his delay. I helped you because I could, and I will continue to help you because I can. I will be honest there was a time where I wouldn't have, I have done a lot of things I regret in the past, but in the end I had the help I needed to become better then that person. The least I could do was try and help you. Neji really wasn't the sentamental type so words like these always felt awkward to say. Lee would have said something about the power of youth, or friendship, which honestly would have fit here, but as much as he respected Lee he could never bring himself to shame his lips with those words. We are out back. The stern authoritative voice of Hiashi rang through the halls of the manor. Hiashi stood in the court yard in the center of the main estate, with Hanabi by his side. The day had been nice enough that even now in the late afternoon it was warm enough for them to practice outside. They were waiting for Hinata which meant that in one way or another Hinata was already late just by proxy of being the last one here. Hiashi however did not say anything on the matter of time, no his eyes were already saying that as he watched Hinata enter the room. Hanabi stepped up towards her sister, she was younger, and smaller then her sister by a number of years, however as the old saying went looks were decieving. And though Hanabi was only 12, their fathers strict regimental training had already landed Hanabi as a chunin, an accomplished feat for a person of her age, but to Hanabi it was insulting, as she and her sister shared a rank only because the current Hokage felt Hanabi was far to young to actually step into the role of anything higher. When she had been younger she had seemed kind and confident, but years of special treatment had turned that confidence into arrogance, and Hanabi believed herself untouchable by anyone. Most people in the family agreed, the years of favoritism of Hiashi, and the special training had turned Hanabi into a monster. Hanabi closed her eyes as she shifted her body weight into the proper fighting stance and then opened her eyes again the byakugan's activation as the veins in her face went rather ridged as they pumped chakra into her eyes. Are you ready for another match sister? She asked giving her the first move on the battle field simply because she did not feel threatened by Hinata. Hissori walked out onto the patio and smiled towards Hinata, it was a weak smile, but one that was trying to cheer her on. He had seen a number of these duels already, but he always kept up hope that Hinata would win, and on a number of occasions had desired to shoot an arrow at Hanabi just to see what would happen. If nothing else he was confident he could mess up her stances for a few seconds, but even then this wasn't a place he could interfere. He would however be happy to be around for the fallout of the events.
