I met the other Neji last night. He's very friendly, and we ended up talking until early morning. I guess we both lost track of time. It's quite, um, something how much we got along, even though we come from very different worlds and situations. He isn't a ninja, while I am a kunoichi. His clan isn't divided, but mine is. Even though we have our differences, we're both following the paths we believe in. I think, maybe, that's why we get along quite well, even better than Neji nii-san and I do.
I think Neji is lucky his family doesn't have Main and Branch houses. It seems to make relations within our clan kind of difficult. Even though the two families aren't fighting, there's still a quiet resentment, and Neji is lucky he doesn't have to deal with that. I wonder what it would be like then, if the houses here were one instead of two families.
He told me why he gave up the shinobi way. His father died, like Neji nii-san's did, and he decided being a ninja wasn't what he wanted even though his family expected it of him. That's really, courageous of Neji to do that. It makes me feel better about my nindou to never give up.
Um, does it make me a bad cousin that...I might like Neji more than Neji nii-san? I don't mean to, really. He's just...so kind, I guess.
I wonder if the other people from different worlds are as nice as Naruto-kun and Neji are...
