D: I don't own Naruto. None of the outfits are mine either.

She was glad Minato hadn't agreed with allowing Jiraiya to come. He was an excellent ninja but he would have wanted to stop at some place for a little "field research". She was glad Tsunade had threatened the old man if he dared to harass her. Since New Year's party the blond and the old pervert had finally accepted they were in love and were officially a couple. She couldn't believe it herself, after all those years of seeing them flirt with each other whenever they got drunk it was odd they were finally together. Her senseis deserved happiness.

Eita and the kunoichi kept their chakra hidden. They had to camouflage with their environment not to get caught. They just had to gather some information about a group that was stealing food from small villages in the Fire Country. It wasn't such a hard mission but Minato needed to put an end to this situation.

They took two weeks to gather the information. Sakura liked to travel with her sensei. He had time to teach her new technics. When they went back to Konoha they had a good idea of the movements the group had.

"I want a warm shower, a comfy bed and homemade food."

"Am I mistaken or I just heard the great shinobi Eita complaining?" she kept her face straight.

"Maybe… do you think your husband won't mind if I stay with you? Staying with Tsunade, Jiraiya and Shizune isn't so good since they became a couple" he shivered. Sakura hid a smile.

"I'm sure he will like to have you as our guest sensei."

"Thank you Sakura" he smiled to the girl. "I'll finally have some peace." They walked straight to the Hokage Tower to report. Minato was buried in paperwork. His assistant had gone on a pregnancy license.

"Sakura I'm so glad you're finally back. I'm going to need your help here at the office."

"As you wish Minato sama." Eita left the office unhappy with having to be another night in the same house as the sannins.

Sakura began working on filling the missions finished and classifying the new ones. Minato had too many documents to read and sign or reject.

She was there until 2 am when he sent her home and asked her to go back to the tower in the morning. The young woman walked towards her home. She really needed a hot shower and going to bed. The kunoichi wanted to see her husband; it was what she wanted the most.

In the entrance to the property, there were two ANBU that greeted her politely. She walked directly to the house she shared with Neji. The woman went inside silently, not wanting to wake him up.

She went to their bedroom and was shocked not to find him there. "Where is Neji?" she thought. The kunoichi focused on finding his chakra and smiled the moment she realized his location.

….

He was sweating. Neji was training madly. He hadn't stop since he had finished his work in the ANBU building.

Shikamaru and he would meet early in the headquarters to continue working on plans for an important mission coming up. They were gathering all the information they could from the related reports from other ninjas.

He had so much in his head but the most important was he wanted his wife at home. He was trying to meditate without much success. He was worried for her; it wasn't supposed to be such a hard mission.

"I love you" she said hugging him from behind. "I've missed you" he turned around fast and pulled her to sit on his lap.

"I've missed you too my beloved blossom. How are you?"

"I would love a warm shower."

"Is that an invitation?"

"Always" she giggled.

"Have you eaten anything?"

"Not since this morning."

"Let's go to the kitchen." They walked holding hands, finally calm because they were together.

"Sakura, Neji" Hiashi stopped them in the hall. "Welcome home kunoichi. How was your mission?"

"It was successful."

"I thought you were coming back earlier."

"I arrived some hours ago but Minato sama asked me to help him at his office. Actually he wants me to be there early in the morning."

"You just got home" Neji didn't like the idea.

"His secretary is on pregnancy license. He is covered in documents that he must organize, sign, classify, etc."

"Hyugas aren't common assistants" Hiashi and Neji were outraged.

"Do you mind if we move this discussion to the kitchen? I would really like to eat something."

"Of course Sakura, I'll go with you." There was always someone in the kitchen. Being Hyugas a family of great ninjas, there was always someone on missions who would come late at night needing to have a bite to eat. Hiashi and Neji spoke about family matters while Sakura tried to focus on her food. As soon as she was done eating, Neji took his wife to their house.

When they had left the main house, the young man took the girl in his arms and carried her to their house. Sakura fell asleep in his arms. He was so happy to have her back.

Most of the time, the two of them were on missions and had little time to actually be together so whenever they were like this he enjoyed having her in his arms.

….

Sakura opened her eyes tiredly; it was too early for a person that hadn't sleep much in some time. She kissed Neji in the nose to wake him up. She didn't want to but knew that if she didn't let him know she was leaving, he would be mad when he woke up to find out she wasn't there.

"Love I must leave" she whispered softly.

"I'll be in the ANBU building working with Shikamaru."

"I'll take a shower and maybe we could have breakfast afterwards?"

"Can we share the shower?"

"Only if we just get cleaned up honey or we'll never be ready for work" she smiled.

"You'll have to pay for this later" he smirked. Sakura pecked him on the cheek before heading to the bathroom. She took off her nightgown and got into the warm water, it felt so good on her back. The girl closed her eyes enjoying the feeling. Neji hugged her to his body and began kissing her neck.

"Darling" she moaned "Remember you agreed it would just be cleaning up. Minato sama will probably send someone for me if I don't hurry up."

"I'm sorry darling I couldn't help myself. I love to feel you this close." She turned around and hugged her husband.

"I love it too" she kissed him lightly. Neji wouldn't have any of that, he pulled her close for a passionate kiss, and rubbed his harden member against her wet intimacy. Both of them moaned loudly they wanted so much to make love to each other but they had control themselves. Sakura bit her lip hard to distract her mind, and then she pulled the shampoo bottle on her hands and began working on Neji's hair. After he did the same for her and trying to keep control of their actions, they ended their shower as fast as possible.

They fed each other in the dining room and Neji walked Sakura to the Hokage Tower. Minato arrived almost at the same time as the couple. He was glad to see the woman there ready to work. He hadn't been able to sleep much thinking in everything he had to do back the office.

"I'll come pick you up for lunch. I want us to eat together."

"Neji I don't think I'll have time."

"It's not a question blossom. I'm not letting you stay without eating."

"Fine, it'll be a great excuse to see you" she giggled before standing on her tip toes and pecking him on the corner of his lips. He held her waist firmly.

"After all this time together you should know better my beautiful blossom" he kissed her passionately. She giggled again.

"I must get going" she repeated her kiss from before and ran to the office.

"You're such a tease!" he told her.

….

Sakura went through every file carefully. It seemed as if a bomb had fallen in the Hokage's files and everything was mixed. She moved quickly around the room putting things in order. Minato had many appointments that morning, so he had barely time to see her.

The young girl received everyone that came to speak with the Hokage, treating them politely and handled every situation as required.

When Neji arrived to the Tower he smiled seeing his wife looking so focused in the job. She had organized the files in different piles. It seemed she knew pretty well what she was doing.

"Hi love, it's time for lunch."

"Hey Neji, I don't think I should leave. Minato sama has been in a meeting for some hours already and I can't leave the front desk alone."

"Sakura go have something to eat. I'm heading home to see Kushina. Please come back this afternoon. I need more help." The young ninjas bowed and headed out.

….

Neji had chosen a nice place for them to eat. He was sure none of his friends would interrupt them. It wasn't their kind of restaurant. He would have liked to take her home and havave her as as ld interrupt them. dy and I can'e a romantic afternoon just for the two of them but she had to be back so his plans had to wait.

Sakura watched her lover with a hidden smile. She had missed him terribly and she could see in his eyes he had missed her too. The kunoichi put her hand on his husbands' bigger one. He loved her way of flirting with him. They ordered their meal and spoke while eating.

"How is Hanabi doing with her training?"

"She's very happy. Actually there's something she wants to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

"She didn't want to tell me, she just asked me if you'd be there for dinner and if I thought you would give her some time afterwards for a little talk."

"You know how much I love your cousins" the girl smiled.

"Sakura you are my world do you know that?"

"You are mine Neji" having alone time wasn't common for them but whenever they had moments like this, they enjoyed it fully. "How was your morning?"

"Shikamaru and I are working on a big mission. We're gathering as much information, this mission we'll have to be done soon and we must have a plan."

"Please love, promise me you'll be careful" asked Sakura with worry in her eyes. She knew he wasn't saying everything and having Akatsuki on her mind was giving her trouble with her thoughts.

"I promise sweetheart" he kissed her hand. "Tell me, how is paperwork going?"

"Minato sama has a big mess. He'll need a new secretary while his usual one goes back to work."

"He won't want you to leave."

"Either I'll stay or he'll look for a replacement just while his assistant has her baby."

"It would be nice if he kept you in the office, we could meet for lunch every day and I can pick you up at the end of work" she giggled.

"That sounds like a normal couple's routine Neji kun" he held her hand again. They got lost in each other's eyes. Suddenly both of them were feeling hot. Her breathing was coming out in pants; her body was full of need. His eyes were full of lust, this woman drove him mad. She tried looking elsewhere. Neji couldn't have her eyes away from him so he touched her face and brought his lips against hers in a very hungry kiss. Sakura was moaning. She didn't notice when but somehow Neji had her siting on his lap. He wanted to devour her.

After some time they had to pull apart to breath. That's when reason went back to Sakura's brain and seconds later she had disappear from where she was leaving behind cherry blossom petals.

….

The kunoichi was trying to focus on working but Neji wouldn't leave her mind even for a second. Her body felt hot and full of need. She kept reminding herself there was a lot of work to be done in the office. Minato had a last minute appointment with a clan leader. He had left her in the Hokage Tower alone.

It was already dark outside. There was a moment when her head began spinning. The cherry blossom stood up to head outside. "Maybe I've been inside for too much time" she gave a few steps away from the desk and that's when she fainted.

It had been hard for Neji to work that afternoon, he hadn't been able to stop thinking in his wife. Her moaning kept ringing in his ears, calling him to go for her and make her his.

Shikamaru and Neji had received a scroll from Sand with all the information they had concerning the case they were working on. Gaara had all his trust in the shinobi from Konoha.

"We must find a plan for every possible scenario."

"You know that's pretty much impossible."

"Troublesome mission."

"What time is it?"

"It's 2 am. We should go home to get some sleep."

"I'm going to the Hokage Tower to see if Sakura is still there. She's probably still working."

"I'll go with you. The air will help us clear our heads, besides I like your wife, she's a bright kunoichi." The two left the ANBU building.

"Why don't you come to our house this Friday for lunch? I'm sure Sakura will like a break from everything."

"Sure, maybe this time I'll finally get my shoji game with your wife."

"Be careful my friend, she's clever."

"I know so" smirked the Nara. "You know that girl is definitely one of a kind."

"She really is." At the Hokage building they were greeted in the doors by two ANBUs.

"Hyuuga sama, Nara sama"

"Is Sakura sama still here?"

"Yes, she hasn't even come out." The two shinobi went inside to take the girl home. Neji began feeling something inside his body. Something wasn't right with his wife; he began climbing the stairs faster by the second and the moment he got inside the room she was supposed to be working in, his ANBU instincts kicked in. He checked her pulse on her neck and there it was. Carefully he picked her up and took her fast to the hospital with Shikamaru following close by.

That night Shizune was in chart. It had been a slow night until the moment she saw an unconscious Sakura in Neji's arm. She sent Shikamaru immediately to get Tsunade from their house and ordered Neji to put Sakura in an examination room. Then she pushed him out.

Tsunade didn't take long to arrive along with Jiraiya, Eita and Shikamaru. All four had worried faces.

Tsunade and Shizune took their time inside the room while Neji was going crazy. He was worried sick for her. He kept trying to avoid negative thoughts, he was too afraid. The captain sat on a chair just outside the room she was in.

Shikamaru wanted to say something to his friend. He wanted to help somehow but had no idea what to do.

More time passed without anyone coming out of the room. All of them were getting restless. Her senseis were ready to go inside the room not caring about the reaction Tsunade would have, they have waited long enough. As they were standing up, the blond woman came out.

Minato arrived to his office early the next morning. He wanted to speak to Sakura before the day officially began. Kushina and he wanted to invite her and Neji for dinner that night. They were thankful for the extra help Tower the guards in the door had explained him what happened with the pink haired.

The leader ran directly to the hospital wanting an answer about the condition of the young kunoichi. He found Eita, Jiraiya, Shikamaru and Neji in the waiting room.

"The ANBUs in the Tower told me what happened. What news do you have?" All four looked at the leader.

This is the first chapter of the sequel of "THE BEST". I know I've taken long, I hope you like it. What do you think it will happen with Sakura? Please review so I know if I should continue writing. Thank you.
