Chapter X

Yume shakes his head.

"I'm not killing anyone with this, I'm killing them because they found out!" she said,

as if she had read his mind.

"Is it really that bad to know?" asked Neji.

Yume shrugged, "Well, I don't like to let anyone know ..."

Neji shakes his head, he didn't understand the secrecy of her.

Yume threw back his head and looked up at the starry sky, it was getting late ...

The night was clear and cloudy, it shone in a dark midnight blue ...

Despite the late hour of the night, the streets of Konoha were quite busy.

Couples strolled around, friends met, and old men drank sake together.

Colorful lanterns lit the way everywhere.

The two of them ran through the cheerful streets and heard here and there laughter, now and then smelling

The smell of good food ...

"Don't be so shy you young chickens!" a drunken man called out to them.Yume rolled his eyes and Neji shook his head.

> Again! As if Naruto wasn't enough ...! she sighed.

"Well ... Yume ..." Neji started nervously.

Yume looked at him questioningly and waited.

"You just arrived in Konoha today and most of the inns are already occupied ... You

can spend this night with me ... I have a whole house to myself because I am the

I'm the only one in the branch family ... There are still many rooms available ... Only if you want of course "

he finished the sentence.

Yume looked at him in disbelief.

> He just invited me ?! <

Neji scratched his head "Not that you think wrong! I'm only inviting you because we ... well ...

are related! So say half siblings! Maternal..."

Yume gratefully smiles at her newly won half-brother and nodded.

They quickly made their way to Neji's house.

Now and then people would meet them, mostly drunk ...Two men staggered towards her and you could hear one belch.

"Hehe! Believe me! I was the 3rd generation brother!" one mumbled and lifted

proud of his chest.

"Nonsense!" said the other, "He had no ... no brother!"

The two started arguing and began to fight.

""I am right! You liar !! "yelled one.

The other raised his fist and struck, "You're just jealous!"

"What people do when they have had too much to drink ..." thought Yume, shaking his head.

"Hey! Stop it!" Neji called to them.

One of them turned to him and shouted: "What do you want? It's none of your business at all!"

"Show big in front of your girlfriend?" shouted the other, panting.

Nej frowns: "Wrong, she is my ... sister!"

Now both laughed and one of them shouted: "Sure! And I'm the Mizukage! Whoever believes it !!"

Neji was about to give something back when Yume stepped in front of him.

She glared at the men and threatened: "Nobody offends him!Otherwise he'll notice

to do to me! And that's not exactly amusing when I'm in a bad mood! "

Again they both laughed and pointed to Yume "What do you want a girl like you for us?"

to do? "

Now Yume's patience has burst.

She gestured with her finger and fetched sand from the floor.

The sand multiplied and became more and more ...

"What !? What is that ?!" shouted one.

> Sabaku Kyu! <

The sand gripped the two men and they screamed in pain.

"Stop it!!" one gasped.

Yume smiled, "I'll do that if you then run away and stop telling lies!"

"Yes !! Yes !! We do !! Word of honor !!" both panted.

Yume dissolved the sand grave and the two fell to the ground.

Immediately they got up and took their legs in hand.

"You don't have to get violent right away, do you?" said Neji.

> But ... wasn't that Gaara's jutsu? <

Yume cocked her head "Otherwise you won't learn ..."That was the end of the conversation ...

> She is so ... numb! So full of hate ... so cold! Like me back then ... <thought Neji with a sigh.

A short time later they arrived at the Hyuuga house.

It was artfully made of wood and looked very noble, the small archway stood tall

"Hyuuga".

So that was Neji's home ...

"Wow! That's great!" Yume wondered.

Neji smiled and stepped into the big house and led Yume inside.

"Psst! My uncle and my cousins ​​should sleep ... We'll explain it to you tomorrow!"

he whispered.

Yume nodded and followed Neji to the rooms.

"This is my room ... Here next door is a free room ..."

He quietly opened a sliding door and went into the dark room.

"Yes, here is the bed ... There is an extra blanket and another pillow ... If you need anything else,

then knock here ... I'll hear it and come then "

With these words he left the room and wished Yume good night.Yume lay down and tried to fall asleep.

> It's so strange ... I have a bed, a roof over my head and suddenly a brother!

But there is something else ... something woolly warm in my heart! Is that what you call joy?

Or feeling of happiness <after these thoughts you ask a wrong way ...

Meanwhile in Tsunade's office:

"Kakashi ... This Niji no Yume ... She is ... unusual! She doesn't show any emotion at the sight

her dead mother ...! "

Kakashi nodded: "Yes ... I would be the same if I had lost my parents when I was three!

She has forgotten how to feel ... her life has been tough until now! "

Tsunade sighed: "Who was your father?"

Kakashi was silent "I can't tell you that!"

"Out with the language!"

Kakashi shakes his head and said: "I promised!"

Tsunade got angry: "Hatake Kakashi! You better tell me!"

He shook his head again: "Ask Yume yourself! I won't break my promise!Well, Hokage-sama, I still have plans! I'm gone! Yo! See Ya! "

With these words he disappeared, leaving Tsunade with an angry face.

"KAKASHI !! Come back IMMEDIATELY !!!" she screamed and threw some books on the floor.

It was dark night when Neji woke up ...

Something woke him up, a noise ...

Just as he was about to turn around to go back to sleep, he heard the sound again.

It was a sob!

> Who's crying ?! he asked himself, dismayed.

He quickly dressed and left his room.

He stood in the hallway and mumbled, "Byakugan!"

With these all-illuminated eyes he looked into every room.

> Hinata and Hanabi are sleeping ... Just like my grandson ... Nobody is outside ... But not ?! <

Horrified, he turned his byakugan on Yume's room.

Indeed! Yume knelt on the floor and was lost in himself!

Neji quickly made his byakugan disappear and hurried to her room.Yume knelt on her blanket and looked out the window ... at the moon.

"Hey Yume ... What's wrong? Don't cry!" he tried to calm her down.

Yume laughed in agony: "Crying? If I had never seen anything like this, I would ask you,

what is that! No, I don't cry ... But if I could, it would be a miracle! But my

Tears have dried up for a long time ... "

Neji stepped closer and saw that Yume really didn't shed tears ...

"Then why are you so ... sad?"

Yume whispered, "I don't deserve to live ... I'm the devil's child! I've been cursed !!"

Neji took his half-sister in his arms, which surprised Yume.

"No, you are not the devil's child! Even if the Byakugan is also called the devil's eyes! You are

not the child of a demon! "

> You don't know ... would you know, you wouldn't speak like that, Neji! Yume thought sadly.

Neji did not expect an answer and continued to hold her in his arms.After a while he made a suggestion: "Let's go out a bit! The fresh air will be yours

Do well ... Hm? "

Yume nodded and followed Neji out of the house.

The night was still clear, but the new day will come soon ...

Fog is gathering ... But the full moon shines in all its glory.

It looked like he was touching the earth ... that's how close he had sunk to the ground ...

"Are you feeling better now?" asked Neji.

Yume shrugged ...

They arrived at a small lake and walked along its bank.

From the bank you could watch the moon and see the fog moving, you could

Watch how the dew collects on the leaves ...

"Nature is fine ... She doesn't have so many problems ..." Yume sighed.

Neji looked at her "Stop thinking so negatively! It's also good to be a person!

You can move and defend yourself ... You can eat what you want! "

"Who attacks the plants?" she countered and looked him in the face.He nodded: "Yes, you are right! Nobody is attacking them! But you shouldn't be so negative anyway

Think! This is not good..."

Yume pulled out a kunai and looked at the throwing knife.

"What a simple weapon ... and yet it can wipe out people! Yes, ... one can

She said softly.

She cut her finger and watched her blood trickle out, land on the floor and that

Green grass colored red ...

"That red blood flows in everyone! Why not blue?" she wonders.

> Has she gone crazy now ?! <thought Neji horrified.

"Neji ..." began Yume.

He looked at her and waited for her to continue.

"If I die ... Then bury me here, in Konoha! It's really nice here! I would never have that

thought ... I always thought Konoha was awful ... because my ... our mother wasn't here

wanted! I thank Kakashi for persuading me! "

Neji was shocked: "You won't die that fast!Don't talk nonsense !! "

Yume smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Everything is constantly changing ..."

That was true ... you can never guess what to expect next morning ...

"You seem to have calmed down, don't you? Let's go back ... it's getting light," Neji said.

So they went back to the house of the Hyuugs clan.

"Try to get some more sleep! It was a sleepless night for you!" advised Neji and accompanied her in

her room and closed the sliding door.

Yume lay down under the covers and closed his eyes.

"Say, Yume ... What is your ninja rank now?" asked Neji, who had sat down next to her.

"It's hard to say," she replied.

Neji smiled> Still so ominous! <"Just
