"Hey," his voice rang in my ears like smooth velvety music. Neji.
"What?" I Snapped. I cringed my Teeth and clenched my fist.
"Where are you going at this hour?" He questioned. What was I doing? talking to HIM
"Are you going to Tell me or just stand there like an idiot thinking of a dumb excuse?" He raised his voice more. it frightened me.
"I-im going to the store what is it to you? Why even care?" I raised my voice too.
He snickered,"At this Hour?"
I turned and ran at him. I didn't know what I was doing. I clenched my Fist and raised it to his motionless Face.
Next thing I knew I was on the floor, my arm hurting, and my right palm bleeding.
"Yo-you B-b-a-s" I studdered before I could finish my rude insult he checked my hand lifted me into his arms.
"W-what arr-e you doing" I studdered once again clenching my mouth shut so no more mindless words would come out.
"Taking you to the Emergency room of course," my Eyes started to water but I choked them back before he could see them.
I looked at my palm. A deep Slash thrusted all the way to my thumb. I took a deep breath and looked away. I tried to speak but no words came to my mind.
"You did this to m-ee" I chattered. It wasen't even cold outside.Why was I shivering and studdering.
He didn't respond and the next thing I knew it we were in the Waiting room of the Emergency room.
"Really, Im okay I-I ca-an go-o ho-me by-y mmys-elf" I clenched my Teeth so hard this time.
" You dont sound like it." Neji whispered. A lady in about her 40's came up to us and smiled. She was wearing a teal outfit with a Cherry blossmed coat. her brunnete hair was held in a bun showing her statued pale face. Her eyes were muddy brown.
she Examined my hand and told Neji he could let go and stay in the waiting room. Thats when I felt his hand tighten around me and him insist he take me in the room. The lady agreed and led Neji to my Emergency room for the night. Neji set me down and smirked at me. I hissed under my breath. He didnt hear me but Oh god, I wish he did. I layed my head on the puffy pillow and sleep hit me fast. Wow was I that Tired? When I awoke my hand was wrapped up in white bandages and my arm was in a blue sling. I looked around the room and saw a black teddy bear with blue eyes, and a silky red ribbon around it's neck. Poor Teddy Bear. It had to choke down the pain of being in a ER then being into a little kids arms. I glanced around the room seeing no sight of anyone. Then He walked in. With a cup of coffee in his hand and Tea in the other
"Here," he handed me the tea to my good arm and sat next to me on the bed. He took a a sip and looked at me with his crystal clear eyes.
"You were here all night?" I coughed. He glared at me now. "Yea" He sighed. Then he got up. Where was he going?
" I"ll be right back I have to go do...something" he muffled. I nodd my head yes and closed my eyes. I have no idea why though. I wasent tired anymore.
The same Nurse came in and checked up on me. I instantly opened my eyes. The lady jumped.
" Oh! im so sorry I didn't mean to Wake you" she apoligized
"Its okay I wasent sleeping anyway just resting my eyes" I yawned
" Oh well, You nearly sprained your arm and your palm was severly cut but we stiched it up" she answered
"Thank's, um, am I good enough to go home?" I questioned
" Well Mr. Huyga, the one that carried you in here told me not to inform you of that" she looked came closer and looked at my stats.
"Ugh" I moaned
"Aw, don't be upset Ms.Yamanka. He must be a great boyfriend"
I froze.Boyfriend? Did We look like...a...a...couple?!
" Oh no no, We are not a couple" I urgently snapped. Even though I wish we were...sometimes.
She looked up at me suspiciously.
"Really...? you sure looked liked one...the way he carried you...it looked sure like it" she confessed
I Snickered, but I bet we did look together. He came back smirking and glared at the nurse. She fast walked out of the room. Wow He sure could empty a room.
"Neji...why did y-ou hel-p-p me-ee" I started to Studder again. Then I found out why I started to sound like hinata. It was him.
"Dont Ask." he strictly said
I coughed and I thought I should tell him about me liking him a little. Even though he was a college boy and i was a highschool girl. I closed my eyes shut real tight and started to breath really slowly to figure out what I was going to say. I got It!. I think...
" Thanks I guess...Listen Neji Im not like Sakura. Im not useless.Im Not Hinata. Im not to Shy. I can do things on my own. So... Yeah" I breathed once more and heard a drum starting to play. It was my heart starting to race. I looked at him staring at me with his arms crossed standing still...very...still.
"Okay. Your point is?" he gestured towards me. I Opened my mouth, "Well, I dont need you to take care of me like im 5, bu-" I froze when he interupped me. "but what"
Ugh. He made it harder for me to tell him.
"I apreciate it and...well" I rushed the words fast.
"If you dont get to your point Yamanaka We are going to be here forever" he looked at his watch. I glared at him
" I like you!" I yelled and clenched my left palm and closed my eyes shut. yes I yelled in an ER room. He turned while the nurses rushed in but he gestered them away.
"Ino," he put his head down with a motionless face. "Did you have to yell?" He Retoriclly said. He looked at me and didnt smile. I knew something bad was going to happen.
"Im sorry, but Ino, I do not like you." He stated. Thats when I felt the drum slowly Stop...beating lighter...and it didnt stop but it hurt. my feelings of course. I Choked back my tears, once again even though it was really hard too. he put his fingers on the bridge of his nose. He turned away from me and he was half way out the door when he started talking,
"Ino, You may not be useless like Sakura-chan or to shy like my Hinata-Sama, but to me your only a friend. and thats all you will ever be to me. A friend. We will never speak of this again. You can go home now. They have realsed you. Im leaving town tommorw with ten-ten its a college Field trip. So I'll see you...," he sighed "Later" he walked out that door. I sighed and then felt a cold tear run down my cheek it trickled all the way till my chin and dropped on my dark blue shirt. I struggled to get up. Once I did, I walked slowly out the door. The Nurse gestured 'goodbye' and I waled out of the Emergency room doors.
I walked all the way home.Thinking what would happen if I didnt tell him. When I got home I went straight to my room and tried to change clothes into my Silky Black Jamies. It was hard with one working arm. Stupid Neji. I Went Into my covers and grabbed my Ipod. I Put my white earphones in my ears and Scrolled the volume High so I couldnt Hear anythign or possibly anyone. I slowly Started to relax and fell asleep listening to, "Into the Ocean" from Blue October. Ah, Home at last.
