Welcome to Gaia! ::

Neji looked at Carmana as he sighed, he poked Hinata's forehead and he looked at her, "I will go talk to him, okay. Stay here." he said to her unemotional, and she nodded as she stood still, he walk to Carmana, not bothering looking at him, "Hey kid, if that black heart grew darker and darker, I don't want you to ended up like me. I used to admired her mother, she's everything to me and she treats me like I'm her son then her nephew. I don't think that Hinata-sama told you about myself, but I got that darkness when this mask guy cursed me and told me that I won't find any light, it's that day when she lost her mother and almost got taken by Heartless under his control." he told him about his past, he missed his aunt, but he promised her to protect her daughter from any threat.
Hinata sat down and dazed to the ground, staying quiet as possible.

Neji felt like he wanted to hit Carmana, but he got his vein popped out from bit of anger. Carmana can be his worst pain, "You are a pain of the neck." he said to him and left to stick with Hinata, decide to ignore him like he did to Lee and Guy. "Hey Hinata-sama, do you wanted to check around this garden?" he asked her in calm attitude. Hinata looked at him and she became a lost puppy with cute smile, "Hai, Neji-nii-san... I would love to." she responded to him as he walked ahead letting her follow him like a puppy.

Hinata continue to follow Neji, but it didn't bother him much about her behavior. Hyuugas were walking around the garden, however Hinata kept looking at the area full of vines and flowers blooms or bulb, Neji looked over his shoulder to see her look as he smirked about her mature behavior to see anything amazing. Hinata stopped and sense the darkness with her heads up with wide eyes, her cousin stopped at looked at her. He noticed her expression, "Dang it." he said as he grab Hinata's wrist and ran off to hide her.

The Hyuugas ran to find a hiding spot for Hinata safety, Neji found a door as he open it and push her in. Before he close the door, he have to ask Hinata, "Tell me where the darkness coming from?!" he asked her as his Byakugan was activated, "It's close to Carmana-san, hurry it's not far away." she told him where the darkness comes from as he nodded and close the door, placing the vines to cover the door. He quickly ran to the spot that his eyes sees. Once he's arrive from Carmana's Heartless back, he pulled out his kunai and place it to Heartless throat without a word.

Neji groaned after that Heartless sending him to the wall, he sat up and heard what he said that Carmara has to tell Hinata how does he feel as he gasp and sees him vanished. He made an anime sweatdrop about this, "That Kiba might kill him for doing something harmful for her." he thought about Kiba's action for being protective. He got up with small pain on his shoulder as he roll around until it popped, he walked to Carmana and offer his hand, "You do have feelings with my cousin?" he asked him a simple question, making sure his ears are correct.
Meanwhile, Hinata grab a stone with pointed end and drew to the stone on stone wall, showing a Hidden Leaf mark on it. She smiled about it with small sadness, she misses her home.

He heard his answer as he rise his right eyebrow about his feelings for her, he place his both hands on his hip with a soft sigh and eyes closed. He look at him again, "Alright I won't tell her, but I would be more careful about those men, I heard sometimes the princesses of heart gets harrassed or gets picked up from every guys. That's why I told her to keep her eyes straight without getting herself hurt." he warned him about random males trying to ask her out, whenever she's alone.

Neji realized Carmana doesn't say anything as he sigh and turn around and walked away, "I'm going to pick Hinata-sama up from her hiding spot." he called out as he deactivated his Byakugan and walked towards to her hidden area.
