Call me!

When Neji makes Ten Ten mad, what is he to do? When Sakura pisses her beloved teacher off for the first time who will she call? Good thing Neji and Sakura are "phone buddies" or, well, Sakura seems to think so anyways. What will these two do without each other? Mini stories about Neji and Sakura's life.

Chapter one: Neji has girl issues.

The sun was shining brightly in Ten Ten's world; everything seemed to be right in order. Ten Ten smiled and she twirled a bit in her white, sun dress.

Why was Ten Ten so happy?

Well, Neji and Lee had invited her to eat lunch with them on her birthday!

Neji and Lee were so sweet and just had to have something planned.

On top of that, they were eating at a very expensive restaurant. Only people of the Hyuuga estates could afford it!

To make things even better, Ten Ten had on her new bleach white sundress on. It had a oval collar and quarter sleeves. The hems stopped at her ankle and on the bottom, hung little beads.

Yes, Ten Ten was very happy.

Too bad for her.

When Ten Ten got to the restaurant, Lee immediately sprinted over and grabbed Ten Ten.

"WELCOMEEEEE!"

"Uhm...Hi Lee." Ten Ten laughed.

As the ran around the restaurant, Ten Ten noticed that it had a oriental design and was only illuminated by candles. It gave the restaurant kind of a "cozy" look.

Lee grinned and seated Ten Ten across form Neji, then, he sat himself next to Neji.

"What a fantastic dress!" Lee exclaimed.

"Thank you!" Ten Ten smiled and she blushed lightly.

Neji just sipped his tea.

"Uhm, Neji? You think this dress is pretty?" Ten Ten asked, she leaned forward a bit.

"It's okay."

Ten Ten twitched, but she supposed it was Neji's way of complimenting someone and let it be.

"Uhm! We ordered the house special! It's really good and super FRESH!" Lee yelled. "Like ME!"

Ten Ten laughed at Lee's antics. At least someone was trying to be cheerful on her birthday.

Soon enough, the food was delivered and Ten Ten's mouth started to drool.

It was a platter of fine, very fine fish and three fresh rice bowls. Of course, that wasn't all. There was soup, meat, and lovely plumps of shrimp.

Ten Ten looked up at Neji for a response, but only found him reading a book.

Ten Ten gaped.

What...the hell?

Lee grabbed some rice and nudged it to Ten Ten.

"It's your birthday! You get first pick!"

Ten Ten grinned. Thank God there was Lee.

Neji dropped his book; he wasn't even listening to Lee.

Neji bent over to pick up the book his shoulder, however, hit the table on his way up and knocked over a bottle of soy sauce on Ten Ten's lap.

Neji looked up; he felt his shoulder hit something. His eyes widened a bit.

"NEJIII!" Ten Ten screamed.

Neji just stared.

"It was just a dress."

"AHHH! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!"

"I'm sor-" Neji was interrupted as he ducked from a flying bowl.

"DID YOU EVEN KNOW IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!"

Neji stared.

"It's your birthday?"

Lee smacked his forehead.

Neji slumped in his house; he sat on his couch, staring at the blank television.

Neji's house was basically in the color scheme of black and white. His room was somewhat dark, then, his bed was white. His T'V was small and had rested on a little black box. Neji's couch was a white, stiff, couch. His phone was placed on a black stand next to it.

Now Neji was basically in worst shape than ever, with a cut on his cheek, and his hair messed up from scarecly dodging Ten Ten's flying dinner ware.

How was he supposed to know it was Ten Ten's birthday?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey Neji!"

Silence.

"It's Ten Ten's birthday! Let's go out to eat!"

Silence.

"You're paying!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Neji snapped his fingers.

But now Ten Ten was pissed at him.

Should he grovel? Hell no. Male Hyuugas don't grovel at women's feet.

Should he...ask someone? Double hell no!

Hinata would be too stuttering stricken to answer, Ino would probably go, "Who the hell are you." And Haruno...

...could actually be of good use if Neji made it possible for her not to recognize him.

Using his super voice changing skills, Neji decided to call Haruno Sakura. Neji flipped Hinata's phone book form out of no where and flipped to Sakura's name.

In a swift motion, he picked up his wireless phone and dialed Sakura's number.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sakura: Hello?

Neji: (big bad dark voice) Is Sakura home?

Sakura: (little freaked out) Yes?

Neji: This is uhm...

Sakura: Naruto, stop calling me. I mean, it was funny the first time but-

Neji: No! This is a guy and uhm...

Sakura: (thinks) What's up?

Neji: You trust me talking to you?

Sakura: (smirks) I know about every girl in town, either enemies or allies. I lot of guys call me for girl problems.

Neji: ("what the hell?") Uhm, it's my friend's birthday I didn't know and-

Sakura: Ten Ten, right?

Neji: Yeah..how did you-

Sakura: I know, honey, I know.

Neji: She's pissed off because she expects me to know it's her birthday.

Sakura: Well, maybe she assumes you're capable of knowing her birthday. If she tells you, than it just makes it seem like she wants something for you and all snobbish.

Neji: She knows I wouldn't think of her like that!

Sakura: Does she, love?

Neji: Stop with the nicknames.

Sakura: You're not giving me much of an option. I have no idea who you are.

Neji: Anyways. I accidentally spilt soy sauce on her dress... I don't get how she got so-

Sakura: ARE YOU FRICKING SERIOUS! HER GRANDMOTHER HAND SEWN HER THAT DRESS FOR HER BIRTHDAY!

Neji: (eyes budge out) Wha...What?

Sakura: YOU RETARD! NO WONDER SHE HATES YOU! GET SOME FLOWERS, AND LSITEN TO ME!

Neji: Uh huh...

Sakura: (whispers some plan into headphone)

Neji: I can't do that!

Sakura: Too bad! It's the only way!

Neji: ...fine...

Sakura: Great, call me later, Neji! I love hearing about these things!

Phone line ends.

Neji: How did she...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ten Ten calmly brushed her long, brown hair. She stared at her dress, which was placed on her bed.

"Stupid Neji..."

Suddenly she heard a thump on her window. Ten Ten walked calmly over and unlocked it. As soon as Ten Ten opened it, a rock was suddenly made contact with her forehead.

Neji smacked his hand over his eyes.

Oh...crap.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Okay, Neji." Ten Ten bgean. "What do you want?"

Neji glanced at Ten Ten's bump and winced.

Not good.

Neji jammed some flowers into Ten Ten's hands.

Ten Ten looked at the poor daisies that looked like they had met a hurricane and had barely came out alive.

"I'm sorry." Neji whispered.

Ten Ten smirked. "What? I can't hear you!"

"I'm sorry." Neji said.

"Huh?"

"I'M SORRY, DAMMIT!"

Ten Ten frowned. "Well if you say it that way, maybe I don't forgive you."

Neji sighed and took off his famed jacket and jammed it into Ten Ten's arms.

Ten Ten gaped.

"Neji, what are you..."

"Do whatever you want with it, I don't..." Neji mumbled.

"But Neji! You love this jacket! That's why you wear it everyday and never wash it!"

Neji twitched and began to walk away.

"Just do what you will."

Then, it finally hit Ten Ten.

"Neji! Whatever Sakura told you, it's not true!"

Neji stopped walking.

"Sure, it was my birthday, but I bought the dress at a random store for twelve dollars!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sakura: (picks up phone) Look, Naruto. It's three in the morning, give me a break. I don't have any ramen.

Neji: You lied to me.

Sakura: Neji? Hah! I knew you would call me back!

Neji: She got that dress from a cheap store.

Sakura: Yeah, even I could've told you that.

Neji: But you didn't!

Sakura: Take a chill pill, Neji.

Neji: ("chill pill?") She kunai'ed my jacket.

Sakura: Thank GOD. That thing was hideous! Fashion alert!

Neji: This is not funny, Haruno.

Sakura: Oh, Neji. You are such a Sasuke. Just not hot enough.

Neji: What are you...

Sakura: Seriously though, Ten Ten has new respect for you, now! She thinks you're a gentleman and doesn't think anything less!

Neji: She knows I call you.

Sakura: Well, that just proves that you are totally clueless and you had the heart to swallow your pride and call me for help!

Neji: "Clueless?"

Sakura: Anywho! I must get my beauty sleep for Sasuke kun! Now, you have to call me when you wake up, get back from training, after dinner, and I would love it if you called me right before you go to bed.

Neji: The hell! Why should I!

Sakura: Because, you are my new phone buddy! Muah! Night, sweetie! Call me!

Sakura hangs up.

Neji stared at the phone.

"The hell was that?"

An idea that was on my head for a while, now. I might put "Long Way Home" on hiatus... I don't like how it's written so far...

Sorry, MZ. Jellybean. But I don't think I need a beta anymore. I know I probably still have bad grammar and spelling, but I just like to post things when I really want to, fast.

Or maybe I'm lazy.

…Don't hate me, please.
